-Town Square-

From afar, Arthur could hear multiple growl and steps of what seemed like a unit of soldiers but that was not all he could sense, he also sensed the dreaded energy becoming more sickening each time they got closer. The cold night breeze danced against his body and screamed to his soul telling him something... But he couldn't figure what it is. He was more concerned about the people around him. Some of them were shaking in fear surprisingly they were the parents... Well no one could blame them. A parent's love and fear for their children rivals their fear for their own life. They huddled closer and tighter each passing moment. Renewing his resolve to end their nightmare he sharply turned toward the other side.

It was then that Arthur spotted multiple figures walking on the glowing runic path... A catwalk of some sort? He spotted those things that Matthew referred to as goblins. True to his description. They were 4 ft tall, green in colour, wearing some sort of black chestplate, knee guard and a single shoulder pad on the right shoulder. There were horns facing forward on the side of their heads. Sharp pointy ears and a hollow nose. They were all equipped with a club. The goblins aside, there was one hooded figure in the middle of the goblins that caught his attention.

The figure was wearing a cloak with its hood raised up, his cloak was normal with black colour and white trimmings. Possibly one of those mages that were supposed to help the town but alas things turned the opposite. Whatever reason it is Arthur figured that he would find it out later. The troop came closer to the town people and a single mage but they wouldn't know that right? Especially since Arthur is REALLY good in hiding his magical signature. Surprisingly he didn't learn that from Axel but rather he learned it from when he tried to get enough sleep in one of his free-lance mission to infiltrate a group of bandits as a hostage IN A CAGE.

They came to a halt as the goblins began to growl ferociously whilst they surrounded the people and shoved them closer while some others searched through the houses looking for more people leaving a mess each time they broke into a house. At least knock first before you break in. Oh wait do they even knew the word 'knock'? Sastisfied after trashing the people's houses. The goblins accumulated back behind the hooded mage who stepped forward and stared the shivering town's people.

"So... Who will come this time? Hmm?" somehow the eerie calmness behind his rough voice really irritated Arthur. The mage scanned the area each person within his point of view shivered and closed their eyes silently praying someone will go. They were not being selfish. But it was just... Too painful to get away from their loved one. But then again if it was to protect their family, there was no doubt they would volunteer themselves. Mac who runs the store that Arthur visited earlier was probably one of those who would willingly sacrifice themselves, as if he was about to answer the request. He raised his arm slightly but another voice stopped him abruptly.

"I'll go." The towns folk looked toward the owner of the voice. They saw a young boy with raven hair raising his right hand as if begging to be spotted; he was wearing a brown cloak with its hood lowered.

The mage smirked sinisterly toward the boy "Very well... All of you are 'safe' because of him" the mage gestured to Arthur then to the town's people. As an afterthought he added "For now..." he let out a bark of one hell annoying laughter. The town people seemed confused as to who is the boy. Clearly they never saw him around before, so clearly he wasn't from the town. However they silently thanked the stranger whilst also felt sorry for him. 'Why did he do that'. The question ran into many minds.

Arthur stepped forward but was stopped by Anna who grabbed his wrist. Concern clearly on her face but Arthur just smiled his toothy grin at her and gently let go of her hand. He moved forward as two goblins awaited for him at the front ' at least I'll get to feel of being a VIP' he thought casually. No one tried to stop him instead they opened up a path for him. Still they didn't know who he was, save for Matthew, Anna and Ricky. They were only curious of one thing. The boy was probably walking toward his death, so...

'Why is he smiling?'

Arthur was walked throughout the forest most likely to head to the ruins. Of course his hands were tied up with a piece of fabric. Did I mention a herd of goblins surrounding him. The hooded mage was leading the pack. He seemed to be confident or too stupid to not even look once at Arthur. Arthur didn't mind walking or even if they dragged him there but the stench from the goblins was really killing him. At moments like this that he wished he didn't have enhanced senses. '*sigh* they really need a bath' he narrowed his eyes toward the goblins whilst still walking in the middle. He noticed the forest getting thicker each passing moment not to mention the dreaded energy seems to get thicker too. He stared at the path before them and the forest as he suddenly grinned. None of the others noticed that a cloak figure was trailing them from behind using the landscape as a camouflage.

The convoy arrived at a small clearing it is rather narrow. There was a huge stump to the left side with another cloaked figure sitting on top of it. The figure glanced toward the group of goblins and two people before the cloak person jumped off and made his way toward the leader of the group.

The two figures made contact and nodded at each other before they raised both of their hand and summoned a golden key with a black diamond on the center of it. They pushed the keys forward and turned them anticlockwise. It was then that purple and red lines revealed themself and formed an outline of a giant door. Although it was only with an outline with purple and red but it was opened up by them with a single push, it actually looked just like it was a gimmick though, I mean there was nothing there just the same space behind the door.

The group then moved forward and passed the mysterious door along with another figure slowly trailing them within the shadows. Arthur after being silent decided to ask them.

"Ermm... Excuse me, but could you guys tell me just where are you taking me?" although it sounded like question out of boredom.

"Why do you even ask? you won't be seeing anything again after this is all done." replied the first man.

"Theo, the boy asked a question so we should answer him" the second man replied strangely with... politeness?

"Well how about you tell him Zeke!" came the reply but this one is completely in a rude tone.

"But I don't want to talk about it. It will ruin the surprise~ " replied Zeke with a sing a song manner

"Then WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO TELL HIM HUH!?" shouted Theo angrily at Zeke who just chuckled heartfully.

This however caused Arthur to sweat-drop 'and they are the bad guys? A couple of clowns perhaps...' but Arthur wasn't giving up yet so he continued to ask.

"So... Does that mean that you guys will not tell me of where are we heading?"

"Damn it! Just shut the hell up kid!" snapped Theo

"Now, now... Theodore~ he was just asking, no need to yell at him" Zeke said... Cheerfully.

"The hell Zeke! I told you to never call me that again!"

Needless to say Arthur was having a hard time to not just burst into laughter ' Theodore?' but he smiled nevertheless

"And what the hell are you smiling at kid?" said Theo while he glared at Arthur who just shook his head dismissively. But then suddenly Theo grinned madly "just smile while you can kid... Cause after, this you won't even be able to smile any longer. Ha ha ha!" sneered Theo.

Arthur rolled his eyes as he continued to walk with the group.

After a long time of walking or rather marching throughout the forest, they arrived at an open clearing, this however caused Arthur to frown, it was not because where they were, but it was because what he saw in front of him. His eyes widened in realization 'What the...? Where did all this come from? There was supposed to be ruins here not complete structures! Or an abandoned one.' he exclaimed mentally.

It was true, where the broken ancient ruins were supposed to be now was replaced with many structures. Most of them looked abandoned but one particular structure caught his attention. It was somewhat similar to a ziggurat and there was some sort of an altar there. The steps of the ziggurat lead to the altar with torches that burned with crimson flames leading its way. The structure was not that big of a scene, but the sudden appearance of the ruins was. It surprised Arthur as much as the town's people when something big just came out of nowhere. A thought about the mysterious door from earlier flashed through his mind 'could that be?'

[ Song End ]

A sudden movement from the altar caught his attention. There stood a figure wearing a red cloak with golden trimmings, standing there probably waiting for the convoy and now that they'd arrived the figure slowly made his/her way to Arthur but stopped in the middle of the way at the middle stair. Theo, Zeke and the goblins kneeled down before the cloaked person. The figure motioned something toward the two other men which the two responded by nodding their head. Theo moved to Arthur as the goblins made a path for him.

He opened up his hood revealing his spiky and slid back blue hair, he had a tanned skin a pair of slightly yellow eyes. He appeared to be a man in his twenty's. His face much to Arthur's amazement is what most woman can described as good looking and it is currently plastered with a grin that threatened to split his face in face.

"Get a move on kid! It's time for your surprise!" He got behind Arthur and pushed him forward roughly.

"Theo be a little bit gentle to him will you?" politely asked Zeke.

"Argh! Shut it Zeke! " snorted Theo.

The two reach the base of the steps, Theo stopped and beckoned Arthur to go alone of course with a hard push almost stumbling Arthur. He looked back toward Theo who just grinned widely. He turned his attention back toward the person in the middle step. Somehow he got shivers running through his spine just by seeing the person. Gaining his resolve back, he began to climb the steps. With every step the cold wind as if whispering their condolence for him. He made it toward the person who gracefully walked to him, he noticed that the person was just about his height and he started to get uncomfortable by just being near him/her. The moment said person started to talk just added another point to it.

[ Insert Fairytail Ost - Ayashii Madoushi ]

"My... What a handsome one this time" it was a woman from the voice, she might be in her early twenty's. She reached out and cupped his chin, seductively she leaned forward to match his gaze. "And such eyes you got there, deep green... " she leaned forward more to his right ear and breathed slowly letting him felt her warm yet cold breath "I love it" Needless to say Arthur really got tingling feeling now. He didn't feel okay when someone he didn't know or like just talked to him with such 'daring' he had no idea how to deal with that kind of woman. Yep... Big problem.

Still with her hood on she gently trailed her fingers from his chin down way to his body slowly to feel him and gently rubbed them much to Arthur's chagrin, she then intertwined her delicate fingers with Arthur's ,she walked him upstairs heading to the altar. He could swear that she really enjoyed his uneasiness.

Once they reached the altar, The woman quickly and skillfully drew runes on the air which glowed purple before each of them and sneaked to Arthur's body pasting to his cloth and body, Arthur widened his eyes as he noticed he couldn't feel his limbs no matter how much he tried to, but strangely he was still standing on his feet. After being silent for so long he asked the cloak woman.

"What is this? What did you do to me?"

The woman however just chuckled sinisterly yet seductively.

"Now... Now... Don't panic, you won't feel anything after this. I ASSURE YOU." her eyes now turned to that of a predatory look but it turned back toward a much softer look like before. "I admit though, you being feisty... Is very tempting", she licked her lower lips lustfully which caused Arthur to grow pale for a moment. But then Arthur took notice of something that was wrong with him.

'What the hell is happening to me? I can't move any part of my body. Well except for my head...' He began to look over himself with the runes plastered on him. 'These runes, they must be the cause of It.' he mentally noted to himself as to not taken these people lightly. He shifted his eyes from his body back to the woman who is now pointing her index finger toward him.

"Now please move over here" she gestured toward the altar. The torches around him start to flail around wildly. Without him even realizing it, his body began to move itself and laid itself down on top the altar.

Magical shackles of crimson red appeared and shackled down his wrists, waist, and ankles. He knew full well by now, he would've become history if he didn't have any plan from the beginning. He calmed his facade down and he turned his head toward the woman in cloak who clearly looked at him with amusement.

"Tell me dear" she purred temptingly "You don't seem like you're afraid. Why is that so?"

However Arthur on his part just send her a bored expression and said "I don't know just felt like it"

He can see clearly the facial expression of the woman from behind her hood had changed slightly.

'There's something about him... I can feel it, But what is it? Could it that be that his a mage? But even if he is, I have nothing to worry about, after all he like the others will be dancing on the palm of my hand' She let one of those those amused and at the same time seductive smiles creep up her cold lips again. While she cupped his chin softly sending shivers to his spine.

"It's always makes me sad, a cutie like you MUST disappear for my dream" for a moment there her eyes, changed to that of a crimson red which didn't go unnoticed by Arthur.

Eyeing the woman before him making contact with her eyes while she glanced down at him he asked "Ermm... Do you mind if I asked you something before ... Before whatever you will do to me?" actually its sounded more like a demand from question.

"Go ahead..." she said as she tenderly stroked Arthur's hair.

Arthur really didn't like of what she is doing to him which if you asked any other man, they might have not really cared at all with how lovingly she treated them but of course Arthur saw it as deadly more than lovely. He kept himself cool and proceeded to question her.

"Earlier you said that? I would be gone for your dream. Mind telling me what is this dream of yours is? I'm just curious, I'm sure you'll answer an about-to-die-man's question right?" But the way he asked it is more like he was not on death floor which caused the woman to hesitate a bit before answering him.

"Well maybe... I can share it a bit with you" she held her chin and leaned closer to him to meet his eyes, "let's just say, I need your SOUL to resurrect someone" and there it is again the change of her eyes.

[ Song Ended ]

'Sacrificing people to resurrect someone... Now just where did I heard of this before?' he pondered to himself and rolled his eyes as an incident of a tower clicked in his mind. A small soft chuckle brought his attention back to the woman.

"Now now, be a good boy and help me with it okay?"

She let him go and took a few steps back. She lifted her arms forward as in reciting a prayer, a magic circle of black and crimson appeared below her leg before a book came out from the thin air, a rather simple book actually but something told Arthur that the book wasn't supposed to even be here and now. It floated on the air and opened up and flipped the pages to the middle of it as the woman brought her right hand to it. Slowly the book start to brighten in dark gloomy aura before it turned to a crimson red light. Then an orb of crimson light came out from the book and it reformed into a dagger with black hilt, a dark purplish gem in the center of it, its blade was crimson looking as if it was soaked in blood. There was a smaller branch at the side of the dagger,

The woman chanted to the dagger in a language that Arthur can't decide but it probably was an ancient one from the sound of it. Wind picked itself around the ziggurat ferociously; a black and crimson magical aura entered the dagger as they just like appeared from the air. Whatever reason was, as if he never felt it before, now Arthur felt his Goosebumps getting to him.

The woman stopped the chanting and raised the dagger high in the air with both her hands and held it in a stab down motion. "Now rest my dear for you will be in an eternal slumber... ' Souls of those who were forgotten , embrace me in this moment , as I offer you this content , Hear my wish for the soul I'm about to vent!'" and with a smooth swift motion she brought the dagger down to Arthur's chest, strangely no blood splurted out nor did his fabric tear but the dagger passed through his chest alright. It was then Arthur's eyes widened as a crazy sense of pain surged through his body. A growl of pain was heard from the teen to which the perpetrator just smirked herself in delight.

-XxxxxX-

Back at much further distance, hidden behind the bushes the cloaked figure who watched the entire ordeal dropped to the ground and clutched his chest as he felt an excruciating course through multiple directions in his body. A low growl could also be heard from him as he eyed the activities on top of the ziggurat to which his eyes glint of cautiousness.

-XxxxX-

The woman beneath the cloak continued her chanting as she held the dagger that struck the raven haired boy in the chest. "'...Now come forth and grant me my wishes!" the sky twist itself just on top the ziggurat. All seems to be working in her favour with the new soul she acquired. It wouldn't not be long before she can resurrect 'him' . She laughed heartedly when the dagger float itself from the unmoving body as it pulled what seems like a misty green hue from the body. While Theo just smirked himself, and Zeke look Like himself... Happy?

But then something unexpected happened the body was set ablaze with golden bluish flames. The flame shot off through the sky completely knocking off the dagger aside which the woman caught with a frown on her face. Theo was no less, but Zeke for the first time in the night didn't look cheerful as he narrowed his eyes keeping attention to the floating flames. This shouldn't have happened, the body was supposed to be sucked in by the dagger too right after the soul. So what happened unless...

The flames took a form of what she could call a bird but not like any she ever saw. It then let out a harmonic but at the same time ferocious screech. None of the humans or goblins noticed another cloaked figure emerg from his hideout and step closer to them. He stopped and with a raised index finger toward the flame. It flew over to him and wrapped itself on the figure, blazing on him before it lighted down. Succesfully gaining the attention of those who were present. The figure lowered his hood and smirked toward them clearly enjoying their surprised reaction of his sudden appearance... Or maybe because they thought he should be up there lying on top the altar. Because standing right there is no other than Arthur Winchester with an amused smile in his face.

"What the..." was all that Theo could muster. His eyes tensed up and focused on the raven teen.

"Now that is a surprise." Zeke observed in a thinking pose looking quite confused with the sudden change of spot that the teen should be at. Meanwhile the goblins just stood motionless.

The cloaked woman said nothing but she too seemed surprised by the boy. She narrowed her eyes toward the boy and to the other two. "Theo! Zeke!" she said in rather commanding voice but there is a hint of leisurely in it too.

The two said person paid no mind to respond toward the woman but they only stared at the boy until Theo broke the silence.

"How the hell did you get there? You were supposed to be up there!" he pointed toward the altar with his eyes never leaving Arthur's.

Arthur even though he could still feel the pain in his chest decided to ignore it first but also took note to never get stabbed or struck by the creepy crimson dagger again as he assumed it must have been related to it. So with a perfect act he scratched the back of his head and put on a confused look on his face, followed by shifting his gaze from the group to the ground and the trees nearby.

"Err... I don't know I kinda forgot about it a few moments ago" the tone in his voice resemble to that of a bored one. Resulting Theo to fall face fault before standing up real quickly and snapped at him.

"Don't screw around with me kid!"

"Calm down Theo... Let me try okay?" said Zeke as he lowered his hood revealing a light yellowish haired in rugged style with bangs almost covering his black orb of eyes. For some reason his demeanor seems to slightly change from a cheerful one to that of a more serious one. This didn't go unnoticed by Arthur. Theo snorted in response as Zeke eyed Arthur.

"Pardon me... I'm Zeke. May I know your name?" the tone in his voice turned back to the cheerful one as he cast an eye smile to Arthur. This action caused Theo to look at Zeke incredulously.

Paying no mind to Theo who said something to Zeke, Arthur shrugged and answer him with a simple "Arthur Winchester."

"Hmm… Arthur? Mind telling me how you managed a trick like that?" asked Zeke but his mind was already screaming at him the answer even through with his cheerful persona.

Arthur let out a sigh as he uncaringly stuck a finger up his nose. "Like I said I don't remember... So stop asking me the same question already."

A small laughter escaped Zeke breath. After he stopped laughing he said "I'm sorry... But we need you to be up there for the ceremony to finished." he pointed to the altar of which the woman sat on top with legs crossed on top the other.

Knowing what the request would lead to what exactly, he definitely didn't want to be up there with the creepy woman again. He smirked toward the two "sorry but I had no intention to be sacrifice to something that as trivial as resurrection" while this was not true, but it was true for Arthur why resurrect someone that is dead? If you wish to obtain power isn't there another way like forbidden drain magic or something? Either that... Or his slight fear toward ghosts, but of course he would never let anyone know about that. It would ruin his pride GREATLY. A Child of A Great Phoenix afraid of folklore as ghost? Yeah definitely will prevent it!

"Besides, that lady gives me Goosebumps"

"Oh I see, I guess we just have to 'persuade' you then?" a hint of malice and sharpness in his voice caught up by Arthur who focused more toward Zeke. He never thought that he really had to be wary this much about Zeke then Theo. Speaking of which he didn't really forget him either. They have not yet fought, but he learned damn well from Axel to never underestimate your opponent by any factor. But at least now he knew that Zeke is more of a threat to him. Not to mention about the seductive creepy lady or at least that's what he called her. Adding that to the fact that these two obeyed her and there's some serious eerie vibe about her Arthur could conclude that from here things were gonna get pretty messy.

Wasting no time to Zeke's words, Arthur took his fighting stance sternly focusing toward the enemy. Even though Zeke was the one who said the threatening line, he just stood there but Arthur could clearly see that he was ready to face him. Theo summoned a strange flute of blue hue aura covered it. The flute took shape of a goblin snake just that it is in a bones. He brought the flute closed to his mouth. Now that being said ever since Zeke took over, the man just simply obeyed him not snapping or cursing Zeke at all. Yeah, now he confirmed that Zeke is more a shady character.

[ Insert Fairytail Ost - Tokihanatareshi Chikara ]

A soft smile in a formed of a challenged found itself on the teen's face. "Let's get ablaze."

With swift fingers that composed the sweet and somewhat creepy yet beautiful melody Theo played his flute resulting on the goblins to perk up and each one of them charged toward Arthur. Arthur retaliated by dodging a swing to the head. He gotta admit for a 4 ft tall, these goblin sure were nimble. One by one they swung their clubs at multiple parts of his body, legs, abdomen, head, and rib cage. Arthur successfully dodged every one of them before he spun himself and with a wave of a hand shot a torrent flames from the ground scattering the goblin to let out a low growl.

Suddenly two goblin appeared from his back, wasting no time he turned around with instinct kicking in and summoned one of his black katana in time to horizontally block two clubs aiming for his head vertically, with a clank sound he pushed the two away and quickly subdued them with a flaming fist to the head and a right roundhouse kick sending the goblins crashing to the ground. Another troop of goblins lunged at him, which he parried their attacks with his sword and occasionally struck them with his fist on the left. Some even were slashed by him, dropping them to the ground with no blood but instead a blue hue similar to that of Theo's flute leak from the cuts he gave them.

'If I know any better I'd say grumpy over there is the one who's controlling these goblins not to mention that they attacked me as soon as he played the flute... Or so I think it is one.' he shifted his gaze toward Theo who stared intently at him flute still on the lips but no melody came out from it. Without thinking about it much longer and requipping his katana back to the pocket dimension he charged toward the man, if you asked him, he rather use his fists than his swords, I mean come on! The feeling of your enemy crushed by your hand (literally) is always tempting no matter of who you are. As he closed the gap between them and was about to give a left hook to him he suddenly widened his eyes and now realized something is not right. Why?

Because he felt his body has gotten heavier and almost like a dead weight. It is actually like a massive pressure pressed on him. Before he could even ask himself what was going on. The answer came straight to him in the form of Zeke's voice in it calm yet cheerful tone.

"Ah-ah... Don't forget I'm still here "

Mentally cursing himself for forgetting the shady character. He took notice of the smirk on Theo's face if he were to take a guess he'd say that while he is 'frozen' they'll use it to their advantage. Before he could say how were they gonna do that. Theo played the flute and almost instantly the goblins lunged himself at him and delivered multiple swing of their club to almost every inch of his body. Taking the hits bluntly he then dropped to one knee after being assaulted by the goblins. Just as he realized that his body didn't feel the pressure from before a few moments ago. He was caught off guard when Zeke appeared in front of him and delivered a blow to his gut. He spit a wad of blood while Zeke still scrunching his fist with the raven haired teen's body before he sent Arthur far away to the back.

Hitting a lump of a massive rock before slowly rolling and skidding himself at the ground. He took his time to stand up back to his feet while wiping a trickle of blood from his mouth.

"Damn! That is what I call a major blow. It hurts like hell" with the help of his 'Phoenix's eyes' even in dark he saw the goblins charging at him. He was about to charge as well that is until he revised back about Zeke.

'I definitely don't want to be hit like that again. While the goblins were not much but still they packed pain in every swing of their clubs'. So he waited for them to get closer, once they did. He spun his body around and created a twister of flames of golden bluish burning and tossing the goblins in the air while at the same time hiding himself from Theo and Zeke's eyes.

[ Song Ended ]

Before the flames died down Arthur charged forward to where Zeke is and before he can land a hit on him. He felt the same pressure pressing him again and this time it was stronger

'What is this pressure' he thought while focusing on Zeke who seemed amused by the state of Arthur and as if he could read his Mind he said

"Gravity" Arthur quirked an eyebrow at this. Zeke began to chuckle and then said "Gravity is really a wonder don't you think?"

'Gravity? So that's his magic?' he wondered and tried to find any weakness on the spell which he had a hard time given the situation he is in.

"But enough chit chat, Theo will you do the pleasure?" said Zeke

"Gladly~" replied the man in an attempt to mimic Zeke's sing a song voice. Only that it resulting to creep out Arthur and... Zeke himself.

He brought the flute to his mouth but before he could play it a shout could be heard from the woods nearby"Flame Commandment: Serpent!" eight flaming snake in the size of a human shot toward the two successfully catching them off guard and connected to them sending them along with some of the goblins nearby to fly backward causing the pressure that surrounded him to drop. Much to Arthur's delight if the smug grin on his face were any proof to it.

Theo and Zeke quickly got to their foot. Theo glared intently toward the direction of the attack only to be shocked at the sight of another Arthur standing there with hands behind his head and a shit eating grin on his face and the other one only grin smugly while watching the two.

"What kind of joke is this?" shouted the blue haired musician

Zeke dusted himself as he calmly look toward the two Arthur. He brought his hand to his chin in a thinking pose. "Hmm... Now that simply raised my curiosity. It's just like before"

"You like it? It's a little trick that I called "Doppelganger"" with a satisfied look and without giving them the time to register the new information Arthur charged forward with fire encasing his hand.

Zeke having not been ready for the attack crossed both his arms and took the powerful fist bluntly sending him skidding backward. As soon as he brought his arms down he was surprised by and incoming right kick to the face and thus found himself flying before his back impacted to a lump of rock.

Theo paid no mind to his companion being assaulted, played his flute ordering the goblins to attack the Arthur at his front.

"Flame commandment: Tiger!" a large tiger in golden bluish flames lunged itself at the charging goblins and with a howl it passed through and burned them. Seeing the ethereal flame tiger moving at him. Theo growled and leapt himself high up in the sky and landed himself not far away from his previous spot. Bringing his flute to his lips, He played a different melody than before. A blue hue of mist covered all of the goblins shrouding them from Arthur's sight. When it is cleared Arthur can only stand dumbfounded at the new sight he saw. If there were goblins before, guess what? Now standing maybe 2 ft taller than him is now a group of ogres with spiky shoulder pads, a breastplate, a shin guard and a gauntlet adorned their body. they let out a menacing growl. Much to Arthur's surprise they took out a heavy looking spiky black mace.

-XxxxX-

The Arthur with Zeke found himself in a quite enjoyable time. After successfully attacked the shady character he believed just maybe he could be done soon and grab a serving of chocolate. Mentally cursing himself for not eating earlier he was not ready for a pressure from the ground to lift him high up along with chunks of the ground. Looking back down. He saw Zeke's hand outstretched and an opened palm aimed at him. From the expression on his face, He knew he won't like whatever would happen next. On cue, he found himself being pushed by the gravity to the ground and impacted to it. Leaving a crater to formed due to the mass.

"*cough* *cough* this guy..." having not be able to finish his words he once again being lifted off the ground and using the same principle as before Zeke dropped him to the ground harshly as he let out a fit of laughter.

"What's wrong? I thought you had more tricks up your sleeve. If this is all you got then you just might as well stop and get to the altar so we can finished the ceremony" he stopped and looked upward the airborne Arthur. As a afterthought he added " Please~" okay seriously that toned is getting on Arthur's nerves. Brainstorming his mind. Arthur tried to get himself out of this mess.

'Come on Arthur think! This is gravity as long as I got caught in it, I'm his puppet. How can I get myself out of this. Wait! Gravity affects those with mass when being manipulated right? How about those without mass? I wonder...'

Struggling against the gravity he outstretched his hand and shot a torrent of flames toward Zeke. Much to his delight the flames headed straight for Zeke and hitting him while burning him in the process. Suddenly he found himself dropped to the ground but without being pushed by the pressure from earlier. Landing softly on the ground he waited for Zeke to rise to his feet. Once he did the man outstretched his hand the same manner as before.

'Oh no you don't' instinct honed by years of battles almost like a sixth sense, he ran to the left side. A magic circle appeared up in his previous position only to suck up dirt and chunks of earth into the air. Zeke seemingly pissed that he missed the boy but keeping a calm facade he cast another spell at the boy only to miss him by inches. As the boy sped up his pace dodging and running away from his gravity magic.

"Don't just run around that will be boring~"

"Actually I've a surprise for you Zeke~" replied the raven with imitating Zeke's sing a song manner.

Zeke quirked an eyebrow and before he could asked what is it. Arthur sped up in a zig zag motion to him. Taken aback by the boy's speed he could only register that the boy now front of him was about to attack him. If the flaming right fist pulled back and aiming at his face is any indication to it. He raised his hands into a guarding position and took the flaming fist bluntly.

"Phoenix's Fiery Fist!" exclaimed Arthur as he pushed Zeke backward along with himself.

Parrying two spiky maces with his katanas in horizontal axis this Arthur found himself in trouble as not only the ogres were a lot stronger than the goblins, but they were fast too. The only upside ever since Theo summoned them is that they are now less in number. But at least now he figured out more about Theo's magic. He used the flute to control them obviously. So all he needed to do is getting rid of the flute and problem solved, but you know what they say easier said than done. Focusing his magic at one point in his body he then let it all out as a pillar of flames erupted from the magic seal beneath his foot. Succesfully shot away the ogres from him. Sensing immediate danger he spun around quickly in yet again perfect timing to block a mace swung at him. Parrying away the assault he wasted no time to slash the ogre with multiple rapid slashes. Resulting the ogre to dropped to the ground lifeless or so he thought, I mean he didn't even know if these things had life.

Facing away from the ogre and immediately charging toward Theo only to be hit with a strong fist from the side and then to the back of his head which almost caused him a concussion. He could only cross his swords at his chest in time as a mace being swung at him with a much force that sent him spinning to the back and crash to the ground. He shook his head rapidly to ease off the dizziness. He turned his attention back toward Theo who is now being protected by three of the ogres.

Cursing himself he rose back up to his foot, channeling his flames to his swords. He lunged again this time more cautious of his surroundings. He slashed at the closest ogre only to be blocked. Hence he put much force to push the mace down and spun around his body to deliver a flames covered kick to the ogre's skull. Making it fly aside.

Another ogre swung his mace at him only to meet his blade in the process. With a precise and swift strike he slashed downward severing the ogre's right arm which held the mace. The ogre only could look at its severed arm for a moment before its head followed suit. The same as the goblins, the ogres didn't spurt out blood but only a blue hue of mist on where they were cut.

Not waiting for the one more ogre to attack him. He lunged himself forward and spun his body around creating a swirl of flames spinning around his body. He flipped both his katanas to the side resulting for a twister of flames to be created from the action thus with his close distance between him, the ogre and Theo himself. The latter two were sent flying to the sky. Standing on the ground he smirk of his achievement "finally I got you grumpy."

Rising to the ground Theo look on the teen with burning rage in his eyes. "That does it! Your so gonna pay kid!" he grabbed his flute and brought it to his lips but before he could play the melody he suddenly widened his eyes as Arthur instantly appeared to his side.

"I say not! Theodore!" right hand pulled back with golden bluish flame encasing his fist, Before Theo could counter his comment. He pushed his Fist forward with much force and intensity so much that it hit the flute and Theo's face. The flute shattered right below his jaw as Arthur's punch sent him flying to the back. Arthur quickly followed suit "I'm not done yet!" and delivered a straight kick to the gut resulting Theo to spit out wad of blood. He followed by a strong flaming uppercut to the chin rocketing Theo way upward to the sky, focusing his flames to his foot. He propelled himself just a bit higher than the man.

"This end here!" with a shout he delivered a drop kicked to Theo's stomach. Rocketing the man quickly downward and impacting the ground forming a large crater in the process. He landed softly on the ground while panting heavily to the spell being used and that the magic that he shared with his other self.

Having not expected any attacks soon because Theo is out of commission for now if the white eyes and the gaping mouth were any clue to it. He tried to catch his breath. But who could blame him when his other self is the one to proof him wrong. When said self crashed with him thus sending them tumbling backward and later found themself on the ground on top each other.

Eyebrow twitching it took a moment for the Arthur on the bottom to react. "Get off me!" pushing his other self to the side.

"Ow... Sorry but the guy really packed a punch" replied the doppelganger eyes widening in sense of danger both Arthur moved away to the side just in time for Zeke to land dropped with his fist facing the ground. Shockwaves were created forcing the two ton skid a little bit on the ground while both covered their eyes from the flying debris.

Zeke walked up to them from the rising smoke. His expression now is more like a stoic assassin killer hunting for his prey.

"I got this..." whispered Arthur to his Doppelganger

"You sure?"

Arthur nodded his head. Doppelganger Arthur just smirked himself before converting into a fire state and merged back with Arthur. Flames licked around Arthur as he took a deep breath and glared at his approaching opponent letting the flames diminish.

"You took out Theodore already?" asked Zeke glancing over the right side of his shoulder on the beaten and fallen form of his ally.

[ Insert Fairytail Ost - Jaaku no Tsuchioto ]

Arthur smirked himself and assumed a fighting stance " Don't worry cause your next!" bringing his hands to the side in a familiar pose he then cast "Flame commandment: Tiger!"

The ethereal flame tiger head straight to Zeke who stood there in a not so impressed expression on his face. The attack nailed him straight on or so it seemed with the flames dispersing to a much smaller scale on the ground burning and scorching on top of it. Smoke debris make themselves present with rising up to the ground. But Arthur knew better that such an attack against an opponent such as Zeke will not do much. Looking back toward the said person he is currently standing on top one of the abandoned structure.

"You proved to be quite a nuisance Mr. Winchester. For that I have to get rid of you." said Zeke looking down at Arthur.

"Sorry... That's just who I am." smirked Arthur as he ignited both his fist in fire.

Raising his right hand and outstretching it toward the Arthur. Zeke summoned a magic circle to appear just above Arthur. Seeing this familiar act and expecting immediate danger, Arthur dodged and rolled himself to the side.

"Sorry buddy but the same trick won't work on me."

"So it seems. Never mind I just need to try a different approach." and by the word approach he meant it literally as he glided down to Arthur with a speed that shocked Arthur, Immediately found himself in a stance. Arthur almost missed to block a speedy punch to the side of his body. Grabbing Zeke's outstretched arm he turned his body around and flung the man away. Without any difficulty Zeke used his hand to handspring himself right back up in time to dodge a flaming fist to the head. Arthur followed up by a left round house kick which Zeke responded by doing a cartwheel to his right.

"You really are a pain in the ass you know that?" said Arthur to a chuckling Zeke.

"I found it to be quite funny Mr. Winchester..." suddenly his eyes stern intently and sharply toward Arthur "because the feeling Is mutual."

Having a smirk plastered on his face Arthur responded "Good!" and lunged himself toward Zeke. Raising his right foot he intended to kick Zeke Square in the chest however Zeke saw this coming only sidestepped and caught Arthur's foot. He moved forward and delivered a spinning elbow to the left side of Arthur's face but failed as Arthur raised his hands to guard the attack. The two then moved away from each other by jumping to the back before launching themselves at each other again and thus found themselves in a fierce hand-to-hand combat. The two fought to a standstill at first until Zeke overpowered Arthur with his speed.

After successfully punching the guy in the face and making him crash to a nearby wall, Arthur quickly moved toward Zeke but before he could land a hit on Zeke. He felt a massive pressure press him, looking down to Zeke he knew that he was hit by Zeke's gravity magic. Cursing himself for being hit by the troublesome spell again he had little time to register that the pressure died down before he was uppercutted by Zeke. Grabbing Arthur's arm before he could fly away. He head butted Arthur followed by flurry of rapid punch and kick to send the teen skidding away and staggering.

Having used the time he had to shake his head from dizziness and headache. Who knew the guy had such a hard head. That has freaking hurt, one moment being head-butted and it is all what it needed for him to be vulnerable to a flurry of speed attack. It was then he realized something.

'Wait, why aren't his attack were as powerful as before?" having his doppelganger's memory. He remembered that the guy used to pack one hell of a punch. Now that being said he compared the speed between his attacks. The one with the strong strike is slower while the one that is faster is lacking the strength. Not to mention that each time he cast that other troublesome gravity spell he didn't even move from his spot. 'heh, I wonder if I am right' smiling to himself he had only enough time to look forward and block the oncoming Zeke.

[ Song Ended ]

Cocking his right fist way back, Zeke then unleashed the strength gathered behind the fist. He delivered it as Arthur crossed his arms in desperate defence. On touch. The ground beneath them shattered before Arthur was sent flying and crashed to a nearby ancient building.

Rising to his feet and coughing a spurt of blood he asked the man "hey how come you had one hell of a punch and next you have an instant boost on your speed?" of course he wasn't expecting for Zeke to answer him, he already had an idea of how he was doing that. But one question didn't hurt right? Or were they two?

Letting out an amused chuckle Zeke answered the boy much to Arthur's delight "I just used my gravity magic to my advantage. Mr Winchester nothing more nothing less" expecting more answers but the guy just stood there eyeing him he shrugged his shoulder. At least that confirmed his hypothesis.

'So he focused a lot of gravity at one point at his hand before he unleashed it all in an attacked. a compact gravity that much could at least moved a house in one go, that explains why it really hurts' he subconsciously rubbed his stomach and his head. 'while he accelerated the flow of gravity around his body to give him a speed boost. But somehow he can't use the two techniques at the same time.' he grinned widely as he figured out that much of his opponent's magic maybe he could wrapped this up early and grab a serving of chocolate cake, milkshake, and the list goes on

Zeke had his own question at the boy but before he could ask him. He noticed that the boy was drooling. A large sweat-drop ran down behind his head. Putting the question of who in Earthland would drool in a middle of a fight. He shrugged it away as the answer to that is right in front of him.

"It is polite to tell about yourself after someone just told you about theirs. Tell me Mr. Winchester just what kind of a fire wizard are you? Your flame seems... unusual. Would you stop drooling?"

Snapped out of his stupor by Zeke's voice he quickly wiped the liquid hanging by his mouth away. Feeling his cheek heating up for acting like an idiot for a chocolate. He cursed himself before stuttering "I- I'm s-sorry. What did you said?"

Resisting the urge to face palm himself Zeke ask again with a face devoid of emotion.

"Meh, it's just something that I learned from my old man. Why the sudden interest?" acting like nothing ever happened he answered the question. He then tore apart his cloak revealing a blue t-shirt beneath it. The cloak is tattered all around and it started to become uncomfortable So better just get rid of it. "But enough talk shall we continue?"

Zeke let out an amused laughter before regaining himself "just one more question, are you perhaps the rumoured mage that is the talk of people now? Are you the 'Golden Pyro?'"

He paled white as sheet just by the mention of the title. Sure he knew he were the talk of people nowadays they even had an article about him stopping a band of wizard bandits from taking over a town. Of course they never had a clear picture of him. The closest one was when he used his signature move. But that is a story for another time. Right now he spent his time shuddering because of the title given to him.

"T-the what now?"

"Oh you don't know? That is the name that people gave you. I just considered you are the same person based on your common traits. Golden fire." clearly he could see that the boy was in a mental breakdown.

Lighting his fist and stared intently at the golden fire encasing and dancing on his palm. He made a mental note to find whoever that gave him such a lame ass name and give 'em a piece of his mind. Clutching his fist in frustration and grieve. He focused back at things at hand. "Lets... Just get this over and done with" his bangs shadowed his eyes. Somehow Zeke felt sorry for the boy.

Nodding his head in agreement "yeah I think it's about time we end this mr. Winchester" He raised his magic to a degree where the ground shook quite uncontrolled. Zeke then cast a spell at Arthur "Gravity Point ". A strange hue of green mist headed and hit him.

Arthur felt something strange running on his skin. However he didn't have time to even think about it as suddenly the rubbles, rocks, bricks headed straight to him. At first he had no trouble avoiding and dodging the debris, until he reached one point of where it is too much for him. As they ruthlessly aimed at him as if he was a mark, Front, back, left, right, heck even below it all hit him hard. He dropped to the ground clutching his stomach. It was then the rubble and debris surrounded him and completely buried him. The chunks of rocks surrounded him forming a massive giant ball.

Zeke look at the miniature version of earth create by his magic. With s simple flick using his wrist he sent the massive lump of earth to the sky, raising it to match the level of the moon which light shone brightly and shadowed the lump of earth.

-XxxxX-

The people of Mapple Town. Tried to register what had transpired earlier, the question that plagued most of them is ' who is that boy? Why did he do that? Is he okay?' As so much as they would like to thank him for volunteering himself in their stead. They just couldn't. They felt guilty coursed through their body. Less need to say no matter how much they tried to sleep they just couldn't due to the guilt.

Some of them who stayed on the square just waited for the boy's returns Matthew told them about who he is and why did he want to help them. Ricky had long fell asleep by his side leaning on him. No matter how much Matthew tried to tell him to go home. The boy resisted him and said that he'll wait for Arthur along everybody else but the stress of sleepiness was too much for the young boy.

Although he tried to cheer his people up Matthew himself is shrouded by worries. 'Arthur' thought the mayor as he sat down near the edge of a fountain that was there in the middle the town.

"He'll be alright." as if reading his mind a feminine voice reach out to him. Startled, he looked up to the side and saw Anna looking down at him with a reassuring smile holding Spike at her arms who barked in agreement. "After all he did promise right?"

Gaining his confident back on the raven teen. He smiled warmly and nod at his daughter but before he could say anything the ground seemingly shook slightly. The mini tremor woke up the sleeping Ricky "Papa what is happening" the look of fear and confusion was there on his face. Matthew and several others looked toward the forest sensing the source was from there. He shifted his gaze back to Ricky and patted his head slightly

"There, There, Everything is going to be alright son."

"What is that!?" shouted a civilian as he pointed toward a ball of earth rising up to the sky.

The shocked expression came into everyone's face. Anna hugged Spike tightly to her chest while looking at the floating object. Fear presence itself on her eyes

'Arthur... Please be safe. You promised.'

_XxxxX_

Zeke pointed his finger toward the sky as he bear the weight of his magic being used "Sadly it ends here Mr. Winchester."

"Annihilation"

The orb of earth falls down and with a deafening shook throughout the forest causes the wind to broke free from the impact. Some trees were flying after being ripped from their stump forcefully. Dust and smoke scattered throughout the air.

Far away from the two fighters ground the woman who was watching everything that had happened smiled beneath her hooded cloak. A delicate finger was brought up to her nose. Her eyes were shadowed by her hood.

-XxxxX-

A massive crater was formed in the aftermath rubble and bricks spiked out of the ground adding the cataclysmic destruction that happened. There in the middle lied Arthur's body unmoving.

Sighing Zeke approach the teen, seeing his lifeless body he raised back his hood and turned away from the boy. As he began to walk away without looking back he soon came to regretted that action as multiple beams of white light shone down from the sky and hit him. "Light Reign" a whisper was heard. Struggling to get back to his feet. He soon found a fist encased in golden bluish fire hit him right on the face sending spinning off to the back before he crashed to the ground. While he fell flat to his chest he winced and raised his head only to be shocked. He found Arthur as if he didn't get hit by his "Gravity Point" and "Annihilation".

[ Insert Fairytail Ost - Salamander Theme ]

With his fist outstretched, doppelganger Arthur smirked toward his fallen enemy. "Did you forget about me?"

'When did he- could it be when I hit him earlier? He must have summoned his Doppelganger when he crashed through the building from earlier.'

With a wince and groan Arthur struggled to push himself off the ground and when he did. He started to slowly walk toward his doppelganger staggering a bit as the sense of pain is immense. "D-Damn! That really took a toll on me. I'm a mess right now" he whined as he approached his counterpart. His blue shirt was torn here and there so were his pants torn in, the gloves? They were shredded to parts.

"You okay?" asked Doppelganger Arthur.

"Do I look like OKAY to you?" he replied sarcastically.

Chuckling Doppelganger Arthur raised his hands in easing manner. "Okay okay... I'm sorry I'll go back so you can feel much better."

Nodding his head Arthur let Doppelganger Arthur seep back into him in the formed of golden bluish flames. Feeling his half of his energy coming back to him. He opened up his eyes while stretching his body showing his 'Phoenix Eye'

He looked toward Zeke who was on his knee and is trying to get up. "Sorry Zeke but I think this time. We should end it for real this time" he crossed his arm in a familiar x shaped while gathering his magic.

Growling Zeke finally up to his foot before he calmed down "I believed it is" pointing his hand at Arthur he gathered his magic to cast the previous spell again. Arthur wait for the right moment to strike and when Zeke cast "Gravity Point" he knew that is his cue.

Sidestepping and nearly missing to avoid an almost invisible hue of green mist of magic he moved forward to Zeke. "I told you the same trick won't work on me twice Zeke!" he began to spin his body slowly as Zeke was in his range.

"Secret Phoenix Art : Inferno Storm ! "

Fire started to swirl around him as he increased his spinning building his momentum. A golden bluish inferno dome of fire soon consumed the entire area. Letting out a cry in pain. Zeke was burned to a degree where his clothes were tattered and were incinerated in some parts. He was sent spinning in the air with fire trailing his movement. He soon crashed to the ground with wide eyes and mouth agape.

Dropping to one knee with his right fist slightly touch the ground. Arthur took the time to catch his breath " *Pant*... *Pant*... I finally... *Pant*...beat him... *Pant*" he pushed himself to stand on the ground he took a collective breath. His chest went up and down in tiredness and the need of air. It was then he remembered something, cursing his luck he began to walk toward the zigurat leaving the messy battle area. 'Now to deal with the creepy woman' he shivered as he imagined the image of the woman.

Sitting on top the altar with her leg crossed she slid the pages of the book to the next. Looking at it with passion she raised it up to her face. Studying the content of the book carefully she traced the page with her delicate finger. Then suddenly she smiled to herself moving the book to her left she saw a young teenage raven haired boy making his way toward her. His blue t-shirt is tattered all around, looking at his stomach; one could clearly see his marvelous abs. He eyed the placed with his deep green eyes but no normal person could deter that due to the dark night blanketed the sky. He was probably being cautious for any trap. She did after all place runes on him earlier and if he's not careful enough he might end up dead but that just brought a frown to her flawless face. After all that just meant that she will lose a new toy to play with. She started to humm while waiting for him in somewhat sweet melody but to those who had a near death experienced it is more like a lullaby to your eternal slumber.

Making his way to the ziggurat Arthur saw the object to his dislike sitting on top the altar. He winced slightly when he touched his side. Whatever thing will happen he knew that he needed to end this soon. He already felt his body muscles tensing as if to warn him that things will get pretty ugly after this. As for his magic he wasn't really bothered by it, maybe things get difficult when you only had 50% of your magic left. But in most cases this was all what he needed to get the job done. But, Hey magic is not the only benefactor here. He still has his mind and his will. Most importantly he had a promised to keep and he's gonna make sure he kept the promise even if his body will break. He found himself at the bottom base of the zigurat with torches of crimson red fire lighting its way around the ziggurat. Looking over to the cloaked woman he found that they were looking at each other. Few moments ago he would've shuddered, but know he needs to... no must face her. So weakness is not an option.

"My, my... So it seems like you made it here. I knew you could do it. "She stood up with the book by her side and she walked down to him. Stopping on the middle of the stairs she continued "you know, there is just something about you that's drawn me but I couldn't put a finger on what it is. Anyway right now you will be mine"

Staring at her Arthur let out a sigh "First of all, thanks for believing in me and second of all... I'm truly sorry but I belong to no one but myself." The tone in his voice is cold and menacing which peaked the woman's interest as she purred slowly but enough for him to hear her. Preventing a blush to crawled up to his face. He shook his head slightly

"Ooh~, Feisty. I love it" she seductively ran her index finger to her mouth and licked it to show her point much to the teen's chagrin.

"w- would you stopped doing that?" scratch the intensity of the moment. This woman just loved seeing him all flustered up.

"ha... Haa... Why can't take a woman that took a liking to you. Hmm~" from the way she said it. It is usually enough to arouse any man. But Arthur just saw it as something that is just too embarrassing. Well it is for him. "Arthur right? I'm Saltana a pleasure to meet you and an even more pleasure to-" the rest of the word is barely above whisper but Arthur could hear it very clearly which why he can felt his cheek heating up "indulge you~..."

Mouth opened and closed and opened again and closed again Arthur struggled to find the words. A shade of red adorned his cheeks as he gritted his teeth in frustration and anger at the same time. Having enough of this self-embarrassing he decided to make the first moved "Flame Commandment : Serpents ! "

Smiling to herself she quickly reacted by jumping away and landed down on the ground next to the ziggurat. The ethereal flame serpents destroyed part of the ziggurat.

"Now, now if you want a dance you should ask a lady properly don't rush her. Any lady won't fall for you if you only had good look but no manners."

"Unfortunately I'm not asking for a dance let alone you of all people" replied Arthur as he readied himself in another pose.

"that hurts me greatly my dear..." faking hurt she put her hand on her chest and squish her buxom much to Arthur's dismay.

Stuttering he mentally slapped himself 'damn it! Focus Arthur! She is just messing around with you. Remember all of Tou-san's teaching 'your mind must be stronger than your body' now breathe in, and out...'

After recomposing himself he looked toward Saltana "sorry... But I have to end this quickly." Hands with palm facing her, he then cast "Light Reign" the multiple beam of light shot toward her which she dodged successfully and effortlessly. He noticed the sudden change of expression on her face when he cast his magic she looks annoyed?

Landing gracefully while her cloak was blown by wind, She then let out a sigh "I guess there is no persuading you is it?" she then let down her hood showing her short shoulder length purpled hair. She had a jet black eyes, her skin was flawless simply put it this way. Many men will swoon over for her. "But I guess you're right... You do prove to be quite a threat... Personally I would've loved it if I could just control you like I did to those two. But looks like it's not my lucky day" she finished as she opened up her book and look at its content.

Slightly confused, Arthur pondered what did she really meant by her words 'controlled? Those two? What is she talking about? 'it didn't take a genius to guess what she really meant exactly ' could she be talking about Zeke and Theo? 'He'll think about that later. Right now he needed to face this woman... Saltana. When his attention is fully redirected back toward the woman there he sensed something was wrong.

A crimson red magic circled appeared beneath her as her book afloat "I know of what exactly you are capable of. To be able to beat those two alone is quite a feat. It is truly a shame to lose you... Arthur. But I'll have my fun with you." the last part of her voice sounded dried and demonic far differ from her playful seductive voice from before. her eyes also changed to the crimson coloured one.

[ Insert Fairytail Ost - Kori No Senjin]

"Come forth demon knights!" a shroud of crimson erupted from the book and divided into five places as they took their place right in front of her. It was then five knights wearing masks were in the shrouded stead. They wore black armour. Their size was about of a normal man. They carried a blood red bastard sword matching the colour of their capes which flailed freely brushes by the wind.

'Just where does people like her keep them? In a pocket?' Slightly annoyed by the way some of his opponents are able to summon grunts as easily as changing clothes he began to ponder the question.

It was then the five knights charged toward him while he did the same in return. One of the knights drove its sword to him, swinging it just as fast that even left him in wonder. He only had enough time to bend his body way back letting the edge of the sword just miss him by inches from his nose. Requipping his swords he quickly brought them forward in time to block a vertical slashed from above. The force however almost leaved a crater beneath his foot

'What strength! And such a precise attack as well... These guys is definitely on a another level from the ogres! Well I guess they were not called knight for nothing... '

Pushing it away, he then performed a backflip in order to get distance away from them. Coating his swords with his flames, He began to assault them again. One of the knights initiated a joust stab at him which he narrowly dodged it. He then used the moment to attempt to slash and cut the knight's gauntlet hand only to be struck in the side by the other knight which he parried using his other sword. This however provided an opening for the previous knight to strike him down. That being said, the knight slashed him to the right diagonally. He managed to avoid critical wound, but still he was caught up in the attack. The very tip of the knight's crimson Sword cut his flesh in the chest. Although it was not much, it still stung him as now blood flowed from his slightly cut chest from the upper left shoulder to the lower part of his right abs. The gash was not deep so he readied himself for any other attack.

Hissing in pain, he had only enough time to parry another strike both from his side when two knights performed a horizontal slash at him. Struggling to keep up with their strength, he then moved backward and unequipped his swords back. He then struck a familiar pose with hands to the side "Flame Commandment : Serpent !" the attack nailed the five knight heads on. Just to play it safe he cast another spell "Flame Commandment : Tiger !" the ethereal flame tiger exploded on contact as soon as it hits the target further expanding the wild flames formed by the success of the attack. Flames danced as they were whistled by wind. It was then... something he didn't expect to see at all happened.

The flames shrunk down almost as if being sucked in by something. When it cleared it revealed the knights with flaming golden bluish flames encasing their sword. Of course it granted them more power.

"You GOTTA be kidding me!" he said out loud with an unbelievable expression on his face. One of them raised their sword and aimed the tip of it at him. A fireball of flames was shot at him. Normally he would just let any fire based attack hit him but something tingling in him that forced him to act. Arthur cast "White Shield" in the last moment just before the impact. The knights kept launching the fireball at him while he stood his ground. Noticing small cracks were forming at his magical shield. He narrowed his eyes when he heard a demonic voice.

"Having a hard time now? Hmm... Perhaps I was wrong about you." said Saltana from the sideline.

"Tch, this isn't over yet ! "

Arthur failed to notice a silhouette that sneaked behind him as when he defend himself from the knights attack because his body started to take a toll on him now. When he did notice the silhouette at the last minute the only thing he saw was a fireball of flames being shot at him. He was sent flying backward with fire trailing his movement. He quickly back flipped himself and landed in the ground the attack is not much but...

"Did that FLAME just BURN me? Man, it's been a long time since I felt fire to be hot." he dodge away from a sudden swung of sword by his side. He narrowed his eyes as he watched a knight with a sword that were encase with his phoenix fire. Realization quickly dawn upon him. 'Figures. afterall, Tou- san did tell me that our flames are different than any kind of flame. So if these knights were able to use it... It wouldn't be a surprise if they can do just that'

He leapt forward and delivered a flaming punch to the knight which the two moved backward before his flames were absorbed by the knight's sword and thus reducing his strike power. Cursing the sudden change of events, he moved away just as when the knight missed slashed him. Moving away, he looked on as the knights began to gather around.

On instinct, he summoned both of his katanas and rushed at them. Striking, blocking, parrying and attacking, he moved past the few knights and was now facing the last in the row, with a new idea; he then blocked a vertical slashed with a horizontal one. Taking the advantages using two swords, he then with much force stabbed the knight in the chest resulting to penetrate the armoured chest plate. While having no problem to land a fatal blow because the knight was not human. But it was just that what gave him problems. The knight grabbed him by the shoulder and lunged him to the stairs of ziggurat. With a thud, his back hit the stairs so harshly that he will feel sore after this. In the moment, he lost grip of his left sword which was stuck in the knight's chest. He observed as the lifeless demonic knight reached for his sword and casually pulled it out from its chest. The same knight now held two swords and headed toward him.

'Great, flames only increase their strength and now swords are completely useless against them? Just how am I supposed to beat them?' he asked himself the question while still lying on the stairs he noticed that the knight had lunged at him raising both swords high up to deliver a downward thrust, from the look of thing if he didn't act fast, there would be two holes in his body.

Raising both palms forward he then instinctively casting "White Shield" the swords met the magical light shield in the battle for dominance. It was then Arthur took noticed of something. The knight's thrust seemed to reduce by each passing moment. He took the moment to stand and shoved the knight away with his shield. The knight moved away... Staggering. A smirk found itself on Arthur's face as he grabbed his swords back, one from the stairs and one that was dropped by the knight when he shoved it away.

[ Song Ended ]

'Light magic huh? Why didn't I think of this earlier?' chuckling he focused back toward the group of knights with a strengthened resolve. He stabbed both of his swords to the ground and brought his palms up facing the enemy. "Light Reign" the multiple ray of light head straight for the group of knights whom scattered away from the light. Arthur seeing this only grinned as his theory proved to be right.

He outstretched his right hand to the side with the index and middle finger pointing to the right held close and with a slow whisper of "Heavens Blade" six magical swords made from light magic materialized and afloat forming a circle of swords around him each pointing straight to their respective front. The magical light swords then started to spin slowly around him. He grabbed his katana and charged toward the nearby knight.

The knights saw Arthur coming at him just fired a torrent of flames at him. Which Arthur dodged by jumping high up to the sky. He then began to fall himself toward the knight arms crossed to the side with holding his katanas. He quickly uncrossed his arm in attempt to seal the demonic knight's movement. It proved to be a success when the knight responded by blocking his attack by centering its sword at the middle of Arthur's katanas causing them to stop uncrossing. Arthur grinned widely for a moment before he ordered his light swords to impale the knight around its chest, leg ,thigh and even its head. Arthur jumped away and watched as the knight began to glow white before it exploded with a faint of light magic trailing the explosion.

He had only enough time to move when two knight thrust their flaming sword from his back. Front rolling he then face the knight while calling back the "Heavens Blades" he rushed toward the knights and cartwheeled himself in between them as they tried to strike him from different angle. Standing back to his feet, he watched on as his light swords impaled each of the knights with three light swords to one knight. Just as before, the two glowed white before they exploded.

He spun around just in time to block an incoming strike from one of the other knight. With a loud clanking sound can be heard the result of the clashed between blades. He then shoved down the knight's sword downward with enough strength before executing a tiger spin around to the back of the knight and delivered a strong right kick sending the knight to dropped to the ground. Spiking his katanas to the ground as before, he then casted "Light Reign" toward the still grounded demonic knight. The spell hit the knight heads on as smoke and debris started to rise up but we can see a faint explosion of light from behind the smoke.

Calling forth his magical light swords once again he quickly sent them off toward the only one remaining knight before the said knight could sneak up on him. The swords surrounded the knight in circle before they spiked to the ground and glowed brightly with white light before all of them exploded with a few dust of sparkled light taking down the demonic knight along with them.

Arthur dropped down to the battered ground as he pant heavily due to all of the usage of his magic reserved he had used to take out the demonic summoned knights.

"*Pant* ... *Pant* ... *Pant* ... Now it's... *Pant*... your turn *Pant* " he said between catching up his breath as he narrowed his eyes at the smiling Saltana.

Arthur gathered all of his remaining strength to only struggle to push himself to his feet albeit slowly.

Saltana let out a demonic laughter and replied "I'm sorry to have dissapoint you..."

Slightly confused Arthur was about to asked her something but then his eyes widened as he took a closer look of Saltana's new appearance. There were now a marking of glowing crimson can be seen on her face and skin. There was and oval shaped pendant with golden placing that could be seen on her neck, maybe it appeared due to her transformation. He also took notice the rapid increase of her magic signature.

"But its my win!" exclaimed Saltana as she faced her book at Arthur. She recited an incantation while a crimson and black magic circled appeared beneath her and in front of the book. The wind started to pick up around them strongly; even trees were blown of their root. Debris started to rise around them and danced with the wind rhythm. Raising his arms to his face, Arthur suddenly felt it was hard to breath. His eyes going blurry, he could barely see the silhouette of Saltana. He again dropped to one knee and used his hands to support him from going down. His breath became laboured, sweat rolled down his face and mixed with the dried blood and flowed down the side of his face. He probably found himself in the current situation because the massive amount of Darkness magic that was directed his way.

'Damn it! I can't muster anymore magic! I'm too weakened that I can't even feel my own muscles.' he thought as he continued to watched Saltana performing her darkness spell 'She must had used the knights to keep me busy and she took the time to entered her transformation. Resulting in her most powerful state. Damn it all! I didn't even noticed that before' he clenched his fist tight while struggling to stay conscious.

"May the Abyss of Darkness consumed and judged your fate. Arthur Winchester!"

A dark bluish mist exerted from the magic circle, they rose up to the sky, and slowly they took the form of a demonic creature with two horns facing upward. Its hand start to form with long nails, it buffed up body covered the entire moon light that traverse the ground around Arthur. Then it opened up its eyes followed up by its mouth both were in crimson red light. The Darkness mist in the formed of a demon then screamed to the heaven. A demonic and loud screech can be heard. Its volume alone would make ears bleed. It focused its gaze on the beaten form of Arthur. It then charged at him with a thunderous roar.

Arthur could only afford to look on and be consumed up by the demonic dark bluish mist that formed a vortex spinning around and trapped him inside. He felt immense pain course through his body, like his veins were about to exploded in him, his eyes rolled to the back as he clutched his head bearing with the pain. He screamed in agony unable to cope with the indescribable pain.

Saltana laughed madly at the sideway clearly enjoyed to watched Arthur suffered.

"Yes... Take him to the infinite despair. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha..."

The vortex of demonic mist then headed back toward the air leaving complete emptiness from the ground. Arthur included as he was completely drowned in the demonic mist. It then headed straight for Saltana who opened up the book facing the mist. Later the mist swirled and entered the book. Saltana closed the book a smile of satisfaction grace her lips.

"It is truly a waste... I really liked him. Guess with him added to the collection, I won't need anything else from the miserable town." she said as her finger trailed down the book.

Just when she were about to walk away, she heard a melody of a flute flowing into her ears. Sensing danger, she quickly leapt to the top of the broken Ziggurat just in time to dodge a bite from a human size wolf. She then looked toward her attacker and smirked to herself as two figures made their way toward her. The cloud blocked the moon light for a while shadowing the two figures.

[ Song Ended ]

"Ahh... I did'nt expect to see you two again"

"You tricked us and possesed us woman!" came a rough voice.

"...and you used us for your goal " came the second voice. This one was calmer than the first one, but also familar in a sense.

Saltana chuckled before voicing out "Well what do you expect ? I'm after all a demon... " She stopped halfway while watching the two approaching figures.

The cloud moved away from the path of the moon light slowly revealing the appearance of the two figures. Who glared at her threateningly?

"Zeke... Theo..." she finished her word while smiling softly toward the two who were still covered in bruise and scratch due to their encounter with Arthur

"For that, we'll make you pay woman!" said Theo clearly angered at Saltana.

Saltana however just laughed heartedly toward the threat "oh please, you two failed the last time... What makes you think this time will be any different. Hmm?"

With a calm voice Zeke clearly stated "This time we got Arthur with us Saltana" his eyes pierced into Saltana's crimson eye. Who is clearly slightly annoyed but she managed a smile nonetheless.

"oh him? In case you two haven't noticed, that boy is nowhere in the world now because he is spending his time in the Abyss of Darkness" she casually flipped open her book when she said those words.

"It's true, but do you honestly think we don't know that book act as a passage to that world? In other word he is still on a path to the abyss." Theo pointed out as he narrowed his eyes toward the book.

"To put it simply, if we can destroy the book before he reaches the abyss of darkness... We'll have a higher chance to stop you" Zeke continued as his eyes hardened meeting the demon's gaze.

Saltana let out a long sigh before she shifted her eyes back and forth between the two. "You two just don't learn do you? You two are already beaten up... Do you seriously think that you'd stand a chance against me?" she pointed out to their body.

"maybe... But-" Zeke started but only to get cut off by Theo.

"we are a lot better than the kid when he first got here" Theo then brought his flute to his mouth.

"Fine then" she then brought her right hand to cupped the right side of her face. "entertain me~"

Theo and Zeke then prepared themself for a battle that was about to ensued.

_XxxxX_

Arthur felt blank and empty liked a hollowed hole just pierced through his feelings and heart. He felt nothing. He stirred and slowly opened up his eyelids, they felt heavy at first but he tried again. When he finally did, he noticed that there was nothing around him just pitch black. He twisted and bended his body. He noticed that he were upside down. But he didn't know whether he was afloat or is sinking.

'Huh? Where am I? Why's everything so dark and... Cold?' yeah he felt cold breeze through his body. He couldn't even remember when is the last time he felt cold.

In fact he can't even remember how did he get here and why did he feel so tired. The fatigue was slowly overpowering him. He was about to close his eyes again until a voice reached out to his sensitive ears.

"Help! Help us! "

He snapped open his eyes and wildly look around him searching for the source of the voice that he just heard.

'what is that?' he asked himself.

"Help! Help us! Please !" begged a voice different from the previous one.

"Who is there? Where are you?" he asked hoping to get a reply.

"Is somebody there? Please help us!" requested the first voice. If he was to take a guess he'll say that it belonged to a grown up woman.

Feeling the strange urge to protect and help when he can't even feel anything a moment ago he then responded.

"Yes! I'm here just tell me how can I help you? "

"Did you hear that? Somebody is there!" stated a rough voice to the other as they began to respond by calling for help. The entire void resonated with the call for help from multiple voices at once.

Feeling that he is being ignored his eyebrows then twitched as they continued to call for help. This was too much for his sensitive ears. He cupped both his ears with both his hands and gritted his teeth before shouting "SHUT UP! Look if you guys wanted help, just tell me how can I help you guys with. Don't shout out like crazy! MY EARS FREAKING HURT BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS ! "

The voices seemed to get the message as they drastically went down. A moment of silence later there were a cleared throat sound can be heard.

"I'm sorry... It was just that we wanted to make sure that you heard our voices. We were trapped here for so long. So we just want to get out from here once and for all." said the woman's voice.

Arthur nodded his head in understanding before he spoke "apology accepted, so... You guys were trapped here huh? Let me guess you guys want me to free you guys right?" he deduced the not so puzzling matter.

"Yes... Please you are our only hope" replied the womanly voice

Arthur scratched the back of his head as he thought of something

"I'm not sure how can I free you guys. I mean I too am trapped here so how can I free you guys and why can't I see you guys" only then he noticed that he could see in the darkness clearly with his 'Phoenix Eyes'.

"To answer your question, You probably can't see us because we were in a separated dimension then you are but were connected by the passage that you are passing through. " replied the voice.

"Huh? Ok, now you lost me there. Separate dimension? What are you talking about?" he asked. It didn't make any sense! Different dimension? He didn't even know how did he end up here in the first place.

"Saltana..." the voice trailed off. Saltana... That name sound familiar as if he had heard that name recently but he couldn't place out where. The voice then continued "Saltana was the one who trapped us here. She is a demon; she intended to use us to resurrect the dead. We are alive now but not in the same world as Earthland. We were stored in someplace that still bound to Earthland. Only you can help us because you are not completely here yet. If you manage to break free from your place you can create a path for us thus freeing us along the way." explained the voice.

Meanwhile Arthur in his own world as he tried to process the information. He grabbed the side of his head while feeling a sense of pain flowed through his head. An image of a woman in a cloak invaded his mind followed up by 5 demonic knights, then there was explosion and fire.

"Arrgghh! What is these images?" he clutched his head in pain.

It was then something triggered in his mind. The whole thing came back to him, Maple town, Mac, Matthew , Ricky... Anna... The battle between him with Theo and Zeke, the entire ordeal became clearer and clearer to him. He slowly let go of his head and began to smile.

"Hey, are you okay?" asked the voice.

Arthur simply waved his hand around. Ignoring the question he then said "Hey... what is your name?"

"My...Name?" asked the voice obviously taken aback by the question.

Arthur directed an annoyed face toward where he believed the direction of where the voice came from.

"Yes you... I'm only talking with you right?"

"Well if you need to know... I'm Natalie Olsen" replied the womanly voice.

Arthur grinned widely when he heard her name. "I'm Arthur Winchester. A friend of your daughter Annabelle Olsen"

The voice of Natalie seemed to gasp before she bombarded him with many question "A friend of Anna? How is she? Is she doing well? Is she okay? Did she eat her greens while I was gone?"

Arthur quirk an eyebrow by the last question but he just waved it away and answer her. "She is fine Mrs. Olsen. She's doing great and she is well healthy. But she missed you a lot since you were gone. "

"Oh I see..." From the sound of it she seemed a little bit sullen so Arthur assured her when he said.

"Don't worry... She sent me here, and I made a promise to return to her. And I'm gonna keep that promise no matter what it cost" Golden Bluish Fire start to swirl around him as he found a strengthened resolve to fight.

"Arthur..." Natalie said in a low voice.

The fire surrounding Arthur started to get wilder and bigger as he was now completely covered in a wild danced flame around him. He then let a grin crept onto his face

_XxxxX_

Saltana looked on toward the two mage just in front of her. One had completely fallen of his feet and one had fall to one knee. She had to admit, both of them had put on a pretty decent fight. It was quite amusing for her, they were able to land a few hits on her. Her cloak was torn and tattered a little bit all around but still they were no match for her. She is a demon and they were just simply lowlife humans.

While lying on his chest facing the ground, Theo tried to get up but to no avail as he was almost completely out of magic and it was rather tiring like hell. In his state he could barely make out a word from his cut lips " Z-Zeke... "

While panting heavily with his chest went up and down in a fast pace Zeke responded to his partner "*Pant*... *Pant* It's okay Theo, you rest for a while... *Pant* I'll deal with her * Pant * " although not by much but he fared better then Theo.

Saltana let out a demonic laughter when she heard they talked, she walked toward them in a leisurely pace."Ha. Ha. Ha. Haa... You sure are an interesting one Zeke. But I would like to know just what can you do when you can barely stand up~ "

Zeke narrowed his eyes toward the approaching Saltana. 'is this it? Is this all we can achieve?' he thought to himself slightly disappointed with himself but then he suddenly smiled 'well at least we tried'

Saltana stopped a few feet away from them and brought her book facing them readying it for the same spell that she used on Arthur.

"It has been a pleasure to work with you two, but now it's time for you two to join him."

The book glowed crimson bright and was gathering magic to be unleashed upon the two. Saltana then began the incantation "May the Abyss Of Darkness consume and judge your fate. Zek-" her words were cut short when she felt a burning sensation burn her hands. She stole a glance toward the book and was surprised. Her book was now been licked by a trail of golden bluish flames. She was about to turn the book to her side but was surprised for the second time. When the burning book floated high up to the sky. Before she asked her question of what was happening? She was answered by a faint scream belong to a certain boy that she had face earlier.

[ Insert Fairytail Ost - Dragon force ( extended version) ]

"That voice- but how is that even possible?" oh yeah how's that for a turn of event huh?

The book began to shake uncontrollably in the sky as the fire increased the intensity and were now completely blanketed the book.

"Heaarrrgghhh!" the screamed became clearer and clearer and louder with each passing moment.

The book stopped shaking for a moment before it erupted with a massive torrent of golden bluish flames that bathed the entire night sky with golden lights and bluish aurora could also be seen from afar. The flames then shaped into the formed of a giant bird, a Phoenix to be precise. With wings outstretched it faced the sky and screech into the knight with a deafening yet beautiful melody. From the center of the ethereal flaming Phoenix, a figure was falling down to the ground and heading straight for Saltana herself. The flames of the Phoenix followed his movement, while the 'Phoenix' just stared down to her.

The demonic woman quickly leapt away from it in time for the figure to drop to the ground with a fist aiming at it. As soon as he landed a massive crater were formed around him, shockwave were created sending the ground to opened up for the force to went by, smoke and debris were lifted into the air, along with Zeke and Theo who slightly crashed far away on the ground, Saltana was sent away from where she had in mind, fire was dispersed everywhere on the ground, trees, even the abandoned structure. Burning the spot where they were pasted to. From the center of the crater there were a figure kneeling down with his right fist sunk into the ground. The figure slowly stood up and opened up his eyelids to reveal his 'Phoenix Eyes'. His clothe were torn and tattered all over.

He slowly walked toward Saltana who was gritting her teeth, this much magic was too suffocating even for a demon such as herself. Just where did the boy obtain such a massive amount of magic? A few while ago he was at her mercy. This couldn't be happening. Just how did he even get out from the void anyway? She was too caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice him approaching. She only noticed it when he voiced out.

"All of this ends here... Saltana. " his voice were full of confidence, there is no sign of slacking off, his dead serious here but the way he pronounced her name is so cold and menacing that even she, a demon, could feel the coldness creeping on her spine.

She gritted her teeth while anger and... Fear surged through her. But she tried to convince herself that the latter was not true. She lost all control of herself when she snapped out at him.

"Just who do you think you are to decide that this is all over now ? I decide whether or not this is all over!" she formed a strange hand sign and pointed it toward Arthur who calmly looked at her with an unfaltering expression. A crimson magical hue started to gather around her.

"I guess there is really no cure for stupidity huh?" he casually said as he took a pose. Left foot forward, right foot to the back making it a horse stance. He lowered his right and to his waist and moved his fingers inside to perform a upside down fist. His left hand made an opened palm to the sideway while still facing his right fist. Magical hue of white aura began to swirl around him.

"SHUT UP!" shouted out Saltana at the top of her lung as she released an uncontrolled like crimson red wave that traversed at Arthur at a great speed, Incinerating everything in its awakening.

Arthur calmly look toward the oncoming wave and took a deep breath before exhaling it. The focused look in his eyes then doubled as he fairly spoke and cast "Hidden Light Released : Heavens Star Sword !" he then lunged himself toward the devastating wave. He pulled back his fist behind himself which was bath in bright yellowish light while still ferociously gathering magic forming a beautifully designed astral light sword and forcefully punched the wave heads on. The two attacks battled for dominance, the ground literally shook just by the two attack clashing with each other until the crimson demonic wave couldn't take much more and broke out. Settling Arthur to charge forward to Saltana.

Saltana couldn't believed herself, one of her most powerful spell just being obliterated by Arthur's. Just what is this boy? she then saw an image of a Phoenix behind Arthur. Its eyes bore deep into her own soul ( if she ever had one ) telling her one message ; YOU ARE SCREWED!

Just as when Arthur was close enough he opened up his fist into a palm and strike Saltana right on her chest, which held the pendant ( no pun intended ) Saltana was lifted off her feet as the light began to consumed in a bright yellowish light. She screamed in agony as her entire existence was being washed away by the yellowish and white light, she was after all a demon right? The flash of yellowish light, brightened up the entire area. Engulfing it entirely.

When the light died down, it showed Arthur with right hand outstretched while still in horse stance. Panting heavily he then suddenly dropped down to the battered ground the result of his attack connected perfectly with the demon. He looked toward the starry sky, the night finally looked peaceful and on the horizon you could see that the sun starting to rise. Damn he spent the entire night to deal with this matter. Oh yeah he is exhausted as hell. He chuckled slightly between huffs of his breath. Laying his back flat on the ground with both his hands to the side and palm facing up. He then grinned and thought of one last thing before the lights in his eyes went out.

[ Song End ]

'looks like I won't make it early to grab a serving of chocolate milkshake. '

He never seemed to noticed that Saltana's pendant that stuck to his right hand started to glowed with yellowish light.
