All the members of Fairy Tail walked back to the start of Web Valley bruised and battered. However all found that their futures were in fact full of light and not as bleak as they first appeared. First to the spot was Natsu with Nashi in his arms and Lucy right next to him. Then came Erza and Jellal supporting Rosemary as they walked slowly to the spot. Soon after came Gray helping Silver a bit as well as Juvia doing the same with Ame. Lastly came Gajeel with Emma in his arms and Levy by his side. All looked at each other clearly seeing that they all had similar experiences in the last few hours. It was then Natsu noticed something that was not right.
"Hey metal head, what are you doing copying me!"
"What are you talking about I didn't copy anyone if anything you copied me besides I can hold my Daughter whenever I want!"
"I did it first iron face!"
"You wanna go flamebrain!"
The two then started one of their usual pointless, long, nonsense, and awful fights causing both Levy and Lucy to cringe and face palm over their boyfriends brainless arguing. The two girls in their arms were both quite tired of hearing their dads constant never ending fights, and finally decided to say something about it.
"Papa will you please stop fighting with uncle Gajeel honestly you two never change in the seventeen years you will further know each other!" Nashi yelled and grumbled.
"You two dad you need to seriously chill out."
"Fine, but just know metal brain I'm only stopping because my daughter asked me to."
"Me two Salamander if my daughter weren't here I'd pound you to a pulp."
The two intensely stared each other causing sparks to almost happen between the two men's thoughts. Unaware of the other things around, Natsu failed to notice that Silver suddenly stared at his daughter.
"Nashi!"
"Silver!"
Silver ripped away from his father as he ran towards Nashi. After a few seconds Silver took Nashi out of Natsu's arms and began to spin her around bride style.
Natsu immediately felt his arms become empty causing his heart to stop out of concern for his daughter. Natsu frantically moved his head till he saw something that made him practically die inside. His daughter was in the arms of another boy, and worst of all Grays son. Natsu didn't have to know him he could tell by his looks and not to mention his smell.
All were rather surprised except the kids of this sudden display of love. Ame had been shipping the two ever since they were kids. While Rosemary being the rather overprotective older sister practically gave daily death threats to Silver if he ever broke Nashi's heart. Emma simply would node as she approved of their romance. She did this mainly because Pantherlily babysitted her from the time she was born. However Natsu didn't quite approve of this at the moment. He practically ran at full speed towards the couple.
"What are you doing with my daughter you little punk!"
Natsu had fire raging in his hands practically ready to burn the ice spawn to a crisp.
"Papa! Will you please calm down it's just Silver."
"I don't care if it's-"
Lucy suddenly came behind Natsu and grabbed his ear.
"Dear how about we go somewhere and have a bit of a chat." Lucy said as she dragged the raging Dragon Slayer out of the situation.
After they were about fifty feet away the couple started to have their little "chat".
"Uuuuh is you dad gonna be ok?" Silver asked his pink haired girlfriend.
"Oh he'll be fine banged up, but fine." Nashi answered knowing how ridiculous the arguments could get over this topic, but she knew her mom would win like she always did.
After a few minutes of arguing Natsu eventually came up and apologized. He then took Nashi back, and went right back next to Lucy. It was then Gray came right up to Natsu.
"So my son and your daughter, who'd have thought?"
"I swear in the future if your son touches her in any way I don't like, he will be sent six feet under." Natsu grumbled.
"Papa!" Nashi yelled as she hit his chest.
"Well I don't think that'll ever happen I've only known him for a few hours and I have to say I don't even think he would do anything to hurt or violate her." Gray assured Natsu
It was then Erza stepped forward still supporting Rosemary.
"Now that we have resolved that nonsense, can you guys please tell us how you got here?"
There was a long silence between everyone, no one really knowing where to begin.
"We were all in a great guild hall." Rosemary finally said.
Erza looked at her daughter, her eyes full of curiosity and ready to hear about what happened.
"I had just been arguing with you and dad because I was frustrated with the fact I didn't really know anything about my past. I was angry you wouldn't tell me anything, and that I felt I was constantly in your shadow only being known as the daughter of Titania the perfect warrior and Jella the wizard saint. I was beyond frustrated so I stormed out of the guild hall."
"You tried to go after her, but we stopped you and said it would be best if we talked to her." Emma added.
"We all followed Rose to the banks of the Magnolia canals were she like to go when she wanted to be alone." Silver told the rest of the group.
"I told them to go away, and leave me alone. I told them no one understood me." Rosemary sadly explained.
"We tried to get through to her, but she wouldn't listen. She kept saying that she didn't want to burden us with her personal problems." Ame said with a concerned look.
"Suddenly this random guy came behind us saying his name was Rustyrose. He told us we were going to make up his new dark guild, and then he attacked us." Nashi finally said.
"We fought back, but to no avail he was way too powerful. It was then all you guys came in after hearing the noise of our attacks." Emma continued.
"He then cast this weird spell on us, and suddenly I blacked out. I consciously woke up, but it was like a whole new person took over my body and made me felt like a prisoner in my own mind." Silver explained.
"And that's when we got here." Ame concluded.
"Well it appears you've all filled in the holes quite nicely, haven't you!"
All turned around to find Rusty standing behind them all scraped up.
"What do you want Rusty you've lost?" Jellal asked as he got protectively in front of Rosemary.
"I've only come to take back what's mine."
Rusty raised his hand and all the kids started to glow green and rise in the air. Gajeel and Natsu desperately grasped their daughters only to have them ripped from their arms. Everyone else did the same, but ended up with the same result. As they dangled in the air they felt themselves being crushed by the magic Rusty was using on them. All them members of Fairy Tail felt absolutely tortured as they heard their children's cries of agony.
"What do you want Rust? Please we'll do anything just stop hurting them." Lucy pleaded.
"Anything you say? Well then I request you forfeit your lives to me then." Rusty said with a devilish smile.
"What!" Gray yelled.
"That's right you all have caused me suffering, and so I find it more than right to cause yours. You see you have one of two choices to end this . You can either end your lives right now or give me these children to be my permanent slaves and guild mates."
"No way you …!" Natsu yelled as he charged to punch Rusty.
Rust simple dogged the slayers attacks and got an evil idea.
"Oh so you want to attack me do yay well then how about I attack you."
Rusty pointed his hand at Nashi causing her to begin a monstrous transformation. She screamed not out of terror, but agonizing pain.
"What are you doing to her!"
Lucy's motherly instincts yelled at her to help her child.
"You see I'm simply causing her demon side to come out, and the pain is from the mixing of magic and curse power her being half-human half-demon. I could actually have something like this to all of them by making them transform back to their evil selves. Now you're probably wondering how this is possible, well you see the spell Silver was speaking about earlier is called inner distortion."
"Inner distortion? I've never heard of such a spell." Juvia questioned.
"Oh it's a rather dark yet simple spell. It takes the insecurities of the wizard and distorts them into a whole new rather evil personality. Believe me teenagers were the obvious target for they are the ones with the most insecurities. For example Nashi's insecurity of her demon side."
Nashi blushed and looked down in shame as her biggest shame and evil was presented before everyone.
"Or Silvers insecurity of self-doubt and not to mention rather dark power."
Silver felt all his teenage anxieties rush through his body.
"How about Ame's insecurity of her own emotions and control of them."
Ame blushed as a rather uncomfortable topic for her was brought up.
"As you already know Rosemary's confusion of her past and her feelings of being overshadowed."
Even though her parents knew her feelings it still made her cringe as her innermost thoughts were revealed.
"And lastly Emma's feelings of inadequacy and weaknesses."
Emma looked away not wanting to look her parents in the eye over these feelings.
"Though beyond all that another perk is it also gives the spells caster complete control of the distorted wizard."
"How could you do something like this and to children!" Erza yelled at Rusty.
She almost immediately charged for him only to be held back by a seemingly calm yet equally angry Jellal.
"Why would you do this? What have you to gain?" Levy also yelled at Rusty.
"Your suffering, now you know what it's like to lose most of what you have."
"Iron Dragon Club!" Gajeel yelled angrily.
As Gajeel came at Rusty suddenly something came in his way, but it was none others than Emma. Gajeel's face turned into one of absolute shock as he saw his club in his daughters stomach. Gajeel couldn't believe it Rusty used these children as meat shields, and worst of all he hurt his daughter again.
"Now that ought to stop any attacks you've planned!" Rusty laughed sadistically.
"Your sick and twisted pretty boy!" Gajeel yelled absolutely in rage.
"Dad." Emma called out very weakly, but just loudly enough for Gajeel to hear.
"I'm coming sweet heart just you wait." Gajeel said in a practically unrecognizable tone, but one that made Emma smile through her pain.
"There had to be something we can do without hurting the kids!" Gray yelled to the others.
"Mom Dad, please don't worry about us do whatever it takes to stop him even if it means hurting us!" Ame yelled as she was overcrowded with pain.
Everyone felt so conflicted they had to save their children, but if they attacked, Rusty would use them as a shield. They all racked their brains trying to figure out how they could beat Rusty and save the kids. It was then an idea popped into Jellal's head however it wasn't going to be an idea everyone liked.
"I think I may have an idea, but I don't think you guys will like it."
"What is?" Lucy asked nervously.
"What if we all do a combined attack on him?"
"What!" Everyone yelled at the same time.
"I know it's risky, but if we all attack at the same time then Rusty can not avoid all them nor do I think he can withstand all of them."
"Yeah, but neither will our kids! They will be taking a large part of our attacks!" Lucy yelled at Jellal thinking his idea was absolutely ludicrous.
"You think I don't know that!" Jellal yelled as he had tears streaming out of his eyes.
Everyone became silent as they saw their friend who didn't show to much emotion torn at attacking his own daughter.
Both the dragon slayer children heard this plan, and relayed it to the others. All them knew it had to be done so they gave their parents a nod of approval. All the members of Fairy Tail got in a line and prepared their attacks. Lucy changed into her Sagittarius dress and charged her arrow. Gajeel and Natsu started to suck at the air to prepare for a roar. While Gray prepared to rage, as Levy made a storm with solid script. Erza requiped into her morning star armor and charged her dagger guns. Juvia readied her water slicer, and Jellal one of his heavenly body spells.
All the members of Fairy Tail readied their attacks with tears streaming from their eyes. Then they released them full blast at Rusty. All the kids readied themselves for the powerful attacks they were about to experience. Rosemary thinking that if her father had to suffer to atone for his sins then she did to.
Rusty laughed as he used the five as shields not realizing what he also missed. There were two streams of light coming at him, one in the form of a super charged arrow and the others a large blast of morning bright light. First the arrow struck him unbelievable hard leaving him paralyzed, and then came the unstoppable stream of light which consumed him for several minutes. After it finally stopped all that was left of Rusty was a grey, faded man, shaking, and fear ridden.
"You may have thought you've won, but you were only blinded to your true enemy so I hope your happy!" Rusty said as his eyes rolled back into his head.
Before anyone could even speak Rusty's form proofed into a great white smoke. All were dumbfounded until something of the utmost importance came to their heads. They looked up to see their now officially free children falling from the sky at a rather alarming speed.
