Chapter 21
The shark demon, Torafuzar, stood over an unconscious Lucy as he was poised to kill her with the razor sharp fin on his forearm.
"I'll fix Jackal's mistake" he said as he brought his fin down
The sharks fin was deflected by the sudden appearance of the iron dragon, who deflected the blade and sent the demon flying back. The skeleton priest, Keyes, appeared behind Gajeel but was soon stopped by Juvia's water nebula. Juvia's water was frozen by the appearance of absolute zero Silver but the fairies own ice mage cancelled it out. The storm demon, Tempester, interrupted the meeting of ice uses as he consumed the fairies in fire. The flames of the demon were soon consumed by the fairies fire ball.
"I don't know how but you did it Luce" Natsu said as the blonde looked up to see all her friends, "we'll take it from here"
"not without me" Kalex jumped down and landed next to Natsu
"where's your shirt?" Natsu asked when he saw the lightning mage was only wearing trousers, "did you catch what Gray has?"
"HEY WHAT YOU SAY FLAME BRAIN!" Gray shouted at Natsu
"oh you got something to say popsicle" Natsu said as the two headbutted
"maybe I do matchstick" Gray pushed back against Natsu
"enough of this" Kalex ripped the two apart, "let's fight the real enemy"
"you're right" Natsu set his fists alight, "oh I'm fired up now"
"yeah the twin dragon gods fight again" Kalex said as he charged his fists
"I never liked that name" Natsu mumbled
"hey I taught you god slayer magic so I get to name the team" Kalex said, "now let's beat the crap out of some demons"
"hey don't I know you?" Gray asked looking at the armoured demon, Silver, "nah you couldn't be him"
"he's the one who froze that village and on top of that he froze me as well" Natsu pointed an accusing finger at the demon
"who ever heard of a fire wizard being frozen" Kalex muttered under his breath
"can it you" Natsu turned to Kalex
Silver rushed forward and picked up Gray before they both disappeared, his friends only able to watch as it happened.
"you shouldn't be turning your backs, twister" cyclones appeared and flung the fairies in to the air
"counter cyclone" Kalex produced tornadoes of his own to cancel out the demons
The lightning slayer charged towards the storm demon only to be intercepted by Torafuzar, who protected his comrade, "seems I'm gonna have to kill all of you then" Kalex twisted to kick the shark in his face and sent him flying
"you're not doing it alone" Natsu jumped over him and bore down on Tempester, " flame dragon god's brilliant flame"
"downpour" Tempester muttered as rain extinguished the flames
"what the hell" Natsu said as he landed in front of the demon
Keyes appeared behind Natsu but was warded off by Juvia's water, yet again. Natsu charged at Tempester while Gajeel took care of Torafuzar, as Natsu got close the demon muttered something and the flame wizard was slammed face first in to the ground. Kalex appeared behind Tempester and kicked him in the head, sending him in to a wall.
"you having a hard time keeping up, Natsu" Kalex mocked as he charged towards the recovering Tempester
"shut it" Natsu said as he fired a flame dragon roar at the demon
Kalex rushed in and hit the demon with a flurry of punches before he could recover, "twister" Tempester muttered as he summoned more tornadoes
"counter cyclone" Kalex cancelled them out again, "when you gonna learn that won't wo…"
Kalex noticed that the demon had used the twister as a cover to escape, "WHERE THE HELL'S HE GONE?" Natsu screamed at Kalex
"I DON'T KNOW"
"slam" the demon said as he watched the two slam face first in to the ground
"you two are pathetic" Gajeel commented as he blocked another strike from Torafuzar and landed next to the pair
"shut it metal head" Kalex said as they both got up to see Tempester standing next to Torafuzar
"these are powerful foes" the shark demon said, "we cannot afford to underestimate them like Jackal did"
"yes I grow tired of this" Tempester said as he and Torafuzar started to glow
"this is where the fight really starts" Kalex said as the two demons entered their Etherious forms; becoming bigger, scarier and more beast like
"well if they are getting serious" Natsu said with a smirk
"then so should we" Gajeel finished
"lightning flame dragon mode activate" Natsu said as he became a ball of flames and lightning
"iron shadow dragon mode activate" Gajeel said as his skin became iron and he started to produce a black aura
"now you do yours Kalex" Natsu said as the lightning slayer stood between them
"I can't do that and since when could you" Kalex said as he looked at the flame dragon
"since I defeated master Hades, didn't I tell you" Natsu said as he scratched his head trying to remember
"no you didn't and now you're showing me up" Kalex shouted at the two before he stepped forward and cracked his knuckles, "I guess I have to show you that you don't need a fancy form to beat these chumps"
"then show us what you got" Natsu took a step back as Kalex charged his entire body with lightning
"you'll be begging for help soon enough, your static will barely hurt them" Gajeel stepped back as well
"you'll be interfering before I even get hit" Kalex bet
"you're on, the loser writes the winner a song"
"I think you mean losers" Kalex said before he disappeared
Kalex reappeared between the two demons, punching them to opposite sides of the valley they were fighting in. Kalex appeared above Tempester, "lightning dragon god thundering storm" Kalex brought his fists together as Tempester was consumed by black and white lightning
Torafuzar charged towards the mage as his back was turned but, just as the demon got in to range, Kalex disappeared. Kalex appeared above the shark demon, "lightning gods heavenly spear" black lightning fell from the sky and struck Torafuzar in his back
"lightning god divine storm" multiple forks of black lightning struck the two demons as Kalex landed
"he's doing pretty well" Gajeel said as the two dragon slayers watched from the sidelines
"I would do better" Natsu said
"well I would do better than the both of you put together" Gajeel retorted
"no way"
"yes way"
"well you wanna prove it?" Natsu asked as he got in Gajeel's face
"yeah I do, the loser has to write a song in the winners honour" Gajeel lay down the stakes
"you're on" Natsu said as he charged towards
The two dragon slayer charged and punched the demons they were fighting before, just as they were getting up to face Kalex. The two ran after them without saying another word.
"well I guess I win" Kalex shouted as he walked off after everyone
"lightning flame dragon iron fist" Natsu punched Tempester and sent him flying
"iron shadow dragon roar" Gajeel used his breath attack to send the shark flying
"are they demons?" Torafuzar asked as the two charged forward for the final strike
The two screamed as they threw their punches and hit each other in the face, "you guys are the stupidest people I have ever met" Kalex said as he arrived on the scene, "I think I might join the demons"
"what the hell was that?" Natsu asked getting in Gajeel's face
"what did I hurt you, candle boy?" Gajeel asked
"no I didn't hurt one bit, barely felt it" Natsu said
"yeah well I didn't even feel yours" Gajeel said
"enough of this" Torafuzar stood up and held his arms open, "now plunge in to the depth of darkness"
A huge wave of black water appeared and rushed towards the fairies, "I hate all of you" Kalex said as the wave crashed down and consumed everything
