Chapter 21: Showdowns and Prey

At the new Tartaros Lab.

Fang was in one of the tankers regenerating.

"Looks like he took a serious beaten." Lamy said putting her hands on her cheeks.

"No matter, he'll wake up soon after the regeneration is complete." Saki stated positively.

Rachena stood in front of the tankers. "Heh, heh, its quite the amusing after you told me that these empire humans are losing to a small group of humans from this Revolutionary Army."

Kay chuckling amusingly. "Ha, ha, ha, soon the tales of the humans including the Jaegers will end eventually after Night Raid along with the Fairy tail wizards make their move against the Empire."

Snapjaw then awoken as he let out a low growl. "Where am I?" He look foward to see Demons. "Uh, are you guys..."

Saki smiled. "Yes, I'm Lady Saki the Thunder Demon, and these are the Demons of Tartaros."

Lamy began to giggle. "Hey, I'm Lamy, I was eventually killed but was brought back thanks to a DNA sample of mine."

Snapjaw gasped in surprise. "I see." The last thing the demon like bunny said made him realize something. "I remember you took a sample of mine, and put it in a value."

Kay chuckled. "Yes, the world we're in is different, we came to this world after hearing about this Gateway, we eventually arrived in this world, learning how corrupted it is."

Snapjaw was confused at the last detail. "This is world is what?"

"Let me explain." Saki said.

At Night Raid's other hideout.

Everyone was in the dining room and just got done eating.

Najenda stood up. "Listen Monica and Kelly are still recovering, however we need to focus on the mission on assassinating Borick, I have no doubt, he'll try to flee during the battle, so Tatsumi, you will take Mine and Gray out to the streets, I have no doubt that one Jaeger be patrolling the city, its possible the last Rakshara Demon will be with one of the Jaeers."

Mine and Tatsumi saluted. "Right boss!"

Gray nodded.

"Gajeel, Levy, Lily, you three will take out any guards outside the mansion."

Gajeel chuckled while Lily and Levy nodded.

"Chelsea, Akame, take Lubbock, Taran and Juvia with you through the passageway."

The three girls nodded. "Roger boss."

"Susanoo, Leone, take Erza inside the mansion after the Borick's guards are busy with Lily."

"Right master." Susanoo bowed his head.

Leone grinned as she cracked her knuckles. "This shall be fun."

"Right." Erza replied with a nod.

"Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman, inside the mansion's basement is cell where Borick keeps the women he drugged, so rescue them and escort them out safely once that's done, meet us at the base."

"Right boss!" Mira and Lisanna saluted.

"Right, this man will get those women out safely!" Elfman proclaimed raising his arm with a fist.

"Gajeel and Levy, I want you guys to backup Gray, Mine and Tatsumi."

Gajeel laughed while Levy nodded her head.

"Its settled." The Night Raid boss said.

Outside the hideout in the nearby forest.

Team Natsu arrived walking through a dirt path. "You smell our friends, Natsu?"

The Fire Dragon Slayer sniffed the hideout. "Yeah, I can smell them even Gajeel's scent up ahead."

"Then let's go!" Happy proclaimed but was stopped by Loki's who grabbed his tail.

Lucy was surprised. "What's the big idea?"

Loki observed the area to the entrance knowing it was too easy so he took a small rock then threw it forward and the rock was split into pieces.

"Whoa, what just happened?" Wendy asked startled.

"It seems to a be a type of string, probably to set off an alarm, but this string just split the rock into pieces." Loki replied.

Suddenly Virgo came from underneath Lucy. "Whoa, what are you doing?"

"Excuse me princess, but there are large pot holes in the dirt path." The pink haired maid replied.

"We could've falling into these holes." Carla stated.

"Including that string which is strange." Loki added.

"Man, thank you." Happy sighed in relief.

Natsu approached the strings. "In that case, Fire Dragon's ROAR!"

"I will filling the holes!" Virgo stated as she dug underground.

The flame breath burned the Cross-Tail strings to a crisp.

Gajeel heard and quickly turned to the sound.

"What is it?" Lily asked.

"Someone is outside the outside!" The Iron Dragon Slayer replied.

Lubbock got up from his chair. "Without triggering my wires."

Su shared the same feeling. "Or falling into my holes."

"It must be the Jaegers or other intruders!" Najenda proclaimed.

"Hold on!" Gajeel yelled as he began to sniff the air. "the scent I'm smelling is familiar, like fire but its much hotter than normal flames, I smell two cats scents."

Hearing that make the rest of the Fairy Tail wizards gasp in surprise. "Can that mean..."

The Fairy tail wizards didn't waste a moment and ran quickly to the door and opened it.

Team Natsu smiled happily.

"Lucy, Natsu!" Gray called out.

"Carla, Happy!" Lily waved his paw.

Lisanna, Mirajane, and Elfman started to get teary eyed with joy.

Erza smiled. "Long time no see."

Gajeel just smirked. "Well, its about time you guys showed up, but I didn't think you guys would arrive in time."

Natsu growled annoyingly. "Hey, we came here to see you guys, Iron head!"

Gajeel growled as he lunged at his rival and wrestled roughly.

"Oh no." Lucy face palmed.

"Idiots." Gray muttered with a sigh.

"Do those two always act like this?" Mine whispered to Juvia who giggled. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Lubbock was making a silly grin at Lucy. "Such a hot chick you are."

"Uh, well I..." The Celestial Wizard said with a creeped out look.

Lubbock then fell over. "Do you what this perv punished?"

"Where did this woman come from?!" Mine exclaimed.

"The ground, are you blinded?" Tatsumi answered sharing the reaction.

"Did I surprise these people?" Virgo asked.

"That won't be necessary." Lucy replied putting her hand on her head.

Loki then put his arm around the Leone's shoulder. "Hi there, another beautiful blonde like Lucy."

"Uh, stop doing that please." The sexy blonde said putting her hand on the suited man's face.

Loki then turned his attention to Akame. "My, such a pretty young black haired girl you are, how's bout we have dinner later."

The Musasume User blushed red. "Uh, no thanks."

Lubbock was feeling jealous. "(That geek is hitting on girls like its no big deal to him.)"

Loki then noticed Chelsea and was about to hit on her when Lucy grabbed him by his shirt. "Now return home." She took out her Golden Key and Loki disappeared.

Seeing that surprised Night Raid. "(What kind of golden key is that chick holding?)" Leone wondered.

Najenda admitted that she was the most surprise. "(That man vanished when that blonde's key's glowed.)"

Taran approached Natsu and his team, Natsu was the first to notice her and glared. "Hey, aren't you the girl from Avatar?"

Taran glared back at the Fire Dragon Slayer. "Yes, I am."

"Relax, she's hasn't caused any trouble for us." Gray said putting his arm in front of the Psychic Wizard.

"Anyway, we need to get started on our mission." Najenda stated as she eyed at Team Natsu. "I would like to ask a favor for you Natsu and your team."

"What is it?" Natsu asked.

"Hold on!" Everyone looked to see Carla raising her paw. "First off, what's going on here in this world, I mean we've been hearing the Empire is corrupted."

"Yeah, we met a girl named Spear and her father telling us about the Empire." Natsu stated.

Najenda sighed. "Alright, Natsu, you and your group come with me, I'll explain everything."

At the Kyoroch Church.

Seryu was playing kickball again with some children. "Hey, over here!"

She kicked the ball to a few children and all of them were giggling and smiling.

Koro barked playfully by following the kids like a real dog would.

Seryu smiled cutely at the kids.

Run was outside watching with Wave and Suzuka.

"Once again I'm surpised that she can smile like that." Suzuka commented quite astonished. "More importantly I'm surprised she can still walk around, however I'm shocked about encountering those Demon things including the one that got bigger."

Wave decide give the Rakshara Demon answers. "Those guys are Demons the real deal, from what my team and I learned about from another Demon, there was a Guild called Tartaros, in that Guild had Nine Demons that were so powerful however all were defeated by this wizard Guild called Fairy Tail."

Suzuka whistled in surprise but not much as facing off against the wizards. "Yes, those wizards we fought were something, they aren't no pushovers."

"Yes, two days, I fought alongside Run against a man named Gajeel, he's an Iron Dragon Slayer." Wave explained. "He was indeed strong, he even used a strange transformation and used a powerful breath attack that destroyed by Armor."

Suzuka was getting more interested. "Sounds like they're tough cookies."

Wave chuckled a bit. "That's one way to put it, anyway at least one of them was defeated."

Run agreed to that but something on his mind was troubling him. "(That maybe, but Fang was mumbling about something and showed no sign of frustration or anything, its almost like he was expecting to be defeated or something.)"

Then one of the children who was a boy came running towards Wave. "Hi, you're Wave one of the Jaegers!"

The country boy smiled. "Yeah, I dream't of being a soldier, I will protect this place, anyway what's your name."

The boy smiled innocently. "My name is Jeremy, I hope to be a soldier someday."

Kurome was inside her room eating snacks but had Tartaros' interference boiling in her mind. "(That Monica and her sister was our targets, but Tartaros had to intervene, now I can't use that girl or her sister as my puppet, this sucks.)"

Later that day sunset was approaching.

Natsu and his team were walking through the streets wearing cloaks as their meeting with Najenda went through their minds.

Najenda was talking with Team Natsu in the meeting room. "Tartaros attacked Grassland Village, Kelly and Monica were lucky but their people including their army weren't."

Natsu growled as he clenched his hand. "Damn it, we should've stayed with them."

"If we did then Monica and Kelly's people would still be alive." Happy said sadly.

"Poor Monica and Kelly, we're sorry we couldn't be there for your people." Wendy said putting her hand on her face.

"We didn't know Tartaros was here, neither did the others." The gang looked at Carla who had her eyes closed and her arms crossed. "Right now, we can't stay depressed now."

"She's right, for now I want you guys to escort the two girls to Pais and Rotone." Najenda took a map and put it on the table. "I marked where the location is, in streets where Lubbock and Elfman fought against two Rakshara Demons."

Lucy was feeling nervous but shook it off. "I guess we return to the base."

Najenda put her finger under her chin. "Yes, however when our mission is done, I have another favor for you guys, but that'll have wait until then, understood?"

"Right!" Team Natsu proclaimed.

Back to reality.

"Listen, I thank you and your friends for helping us." Monica said smiling.

Kelly smiled. "I know you guys are sad our people are gone, but we can't stay sad forever."

Natsu smiled at their statements. "Yeah, I was sad too when my dad died, but I will keep fighting."

Wendy, Lucy, Carla, and Happy shared the same feeling. "Right!"

Later sunset continued, Suzuka was on the top of the church looking into the city and noticed two people seemingly suspicious to her, one was wearing sunglasses, while the other who was a female wore a belt around her neck, then saw another behind them with silver white hair and wearing sunglasses. "Hey, Seryu, I found trouble I think!"

Seryu took a look through her binoculars. "Hmm, those three look too sneaky."

shortly the three went to a valley where there was ruins.

the 2nd young man was Gray who was taking off his disguise. "I'm going to do some scouting but I'll be back."

Tatsumi was taking off his disguise. "These clothes were helpful."

Mine was cleaning off the make-up she had on. "Ugh, I wonder if I got this make-up off, excuse me, did I get all off?" She then got closer to Tatsumi who looked at her started to get all red. "I...I...I think so!"

She noticed his face then was curious but realized something that made her face red. "You aren't taking that string of faith crap seriously, are you?!"

"Oh you wish but you were thinking about since you brought it up!" Tatsumi countered.

Seryu was looking down with binoculars with Koro on her shoulder. "Its the pink haired girl I face before, its Tatsumi I remember helping him way back then, so why in hell is he with her, he must'be tainted by evil."

Seryu lowered her head "Quick, Koro Justice City Detector!" Seryu's right arm was bitten then replaced with a detector on her arm.

On the detector showed her two and two large rocket launchers appeared behind her upper back. "(Tatsumi, I helped you when you were in trouble, I admit I did like you but, you are consumed into evil.)"

She gazed at Mine. "(You evil pinkette demon, you escaped while Sheele was eaten, I won't let you escape this time.)"

"JUSTICE VOLLEY FIRE!" Missiles were heading straight towards the two Night Raid assassins.

"There's missiles coming our way!" Gray called out.

Tatsumi quickly made his move and transformed into his Incursio Armor while picking up Mine.

"ICE MAKE: CANNON!"

He made a large number of cannons which fired ice cannonballs which destroyed all the missles.

Seryu recognized the ice attack. "So it seems my former comrade Gray Fullbuster is here." Koro growled viciously.

The three made it to a cliffside. "The shooter must be Seryu."

Mine then gripped her Pumpkin. "Good, I have a score to settle with her."

Then Gajeel and Levy showed up.

"You're just in time." Mine said getting out her Imperial Arms out of case. "So is that bitch here?!"

Suddenly Suzuka came out of nowhere but the Night Raid assassins dodged her attack.

"That must be last Rakshara Demon!" Mine exclaimed.

"My name is Suzuka, however that won't matter since all of you will be dead." She remarked.

Tatsumi charged at and triedpunched the woman but she blocked it but was pushed away. "You three, take out Seryu while I deal with Suzuka!"

Mine didn't like his idea. "Not a chance, after what she said there's..."

She stopped as Tatsumi threw his fists at Suzuka again and again. "There's a change of plans, you get to face me!"

Suzuka blocked his fists with her hands seemingly impressed. "Oh, aren't you brave?" She stopped as she noticed Gray. "Oh, its Gray, I hoped to get fight you again.

Gray's narrowed his eyes at the last Rakshara Demon. "I came here to fight not talk!"

Suzuka liked the look in the Ice Wizard's eyes. "Oh, quite brave as usually, I admit everyone back at Borick's headquarters was impressed you took out a Demon."

Tatsumi then punched Suzuka again pushing themselves off the cliff.

"I'll follow him, Gajeel, Levy assist Mine while I'll lend Tatsumi a hand!" Gray commanded as he made his floor path of ice leading straight where his comrade went.

Seryu and Koro were below where Mine looking down at. "KORO PHASE SIX!"

The Imperial Arms Dog enlarged himself and put his whole mouth onto his owner's upper body.

"That is weird." Gajeel commented.

"Talk about freaky." Levy said covering her eyes.

Koro then removed himself off Seryu who had a large missle. "The Rebellion will never find peace!"

The missle was fired until Mine smirked until Gajeel enhaled. "IRON DRAGON'S ROAR!"

The missle was destroyed by Gajeel's dragon breath causing it to explode.

Seryu had disbelief that her missile was destroyed in one attack. "What?!"

Then she shot reel hook was fired into the cliffside where Mine was standing and she reeled herself up. "Koro Phase One!"

A large round club with spikes replaced her right hand.

Koro jumped off as Mine shot him and Seryu jumped off her companion swinging her club down.

"SOLID SCRIPT: FIRE!" Flames were fired from the word fire that Levy written which struck the side of Seryu's waist which made her hiss in pain as part of her clothes started to tear.

Mine was astonished. "Solid Script magic is something."

"IRON DRAGON'S SWORD!"

Gajeel turned his arm into a sword which sliced Seryu's club in half. "No way!"

Mine smirked impressively. "I see now that Iron Dragons Slayer even stronger than I thought."

Gajeel grinned.

Koro was laying on the ground with a hole left side of his chest.

"So, to think we meet again, Night Raid." Seryu chuckled with a sinister look. "If I have to guess, I say your friend is a Dragon Slayer."

Levy and Mine gasped quietly. "How did you know that?" The Iron Dragon Slayer asked.

Seryu then had a glare on her face. "I don't just know about that, I learned Gray is a Ice Demon Slayer, to think someone like him, that short little girl, and you were from another world, quite surprising I admit, however that won't matter, I will kill you all!"

Mine had another thought of this. "(Tartaros must've told some info about Gray and the others.)"

Seryu then pointed at the pinkette. "Also, Mine I believe that's your name, by the mighty hands of justice, I will make you beg for your life that includes you too Dragon Slayer along with your little short girlfriend but I did have fun killing Sheele and when Koro devoured her that made me feel good!"

Gajeel and Mine gave her a glare.

Levy lowered her head gritting her teeth.

"Not only that, I will find the bitches attacked and gave me this scar!" Seryu added madly revealing her left eye's wound.

Mine crouched down and opened her case to add some parts to her gun. "You claim to be a fighter for justice, but you blindly followed Ogre and Dr Stylish never knowing they were the evil ones."

Seryu growled deeply at the statement.

Gajeel stepped forward making his trademark laugh. "That's right, you act just like them that smile and laugh, is what they made!"

Seryu took offense to that remark. "ARGH, I ONLY SERVE JUSTICE AND MAKE SURE EVIL ONES DIE!"

Levy decided to speak her piece. "LIAR, YOU ONLY ENJOY OTHER PEOPLE'S PAIN AND SUFFERING EVEN MURDERING WITHOUT SHOWING MERCY JUST LIKE A REAL EVIL PERSON WOULD ENJOY JUST LIKE DR STYLISH AND CAPTAIN OGRE!"

Hearing Levy's speech really crossed the line for Seryu to hear. "ARRRGGGHHH, I HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR LECTURES!" She put her right arm out. "Koro, Phase Five!"

Koro took hold of his owner's arm with his mouth and his arms grew back. "All I had to do is wait for Koro to regenerate, evil of this world will be destroyed!"

Seryu flew towards the assassins while Koro was throwing his fists around rapidly.

"SCRIPT SOLID: FIRE!" Levy written the word fire which appeared in mid-air and flames were fired towards Koro which got burned its eyes making howl in pain.

"NOOO!" Seryu screamed seeing her dog put its hands on both of its eyes in pain.

Koro wounds regenerated as it snarled viciously. "IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!"

His iron club arm punched Koro under its chin and made him fall backwards.

Seryu charged ahead. "You'll pay for hurting Koro!"

Meanwhile in another ruins

Tatsumi was chasing after Suzuka who just threw knives at him. "This chick is fast."

He swung his spear down but Suzuka caught it and threw him to the ground. "Heh, you made me break a nail, also killing Mez was one thing, I was surprised that Ibaba was taken out by three chicks, I also heard two of the girls easily overpowered Run."

Tatsumi slowly stood up. "(She must be referrin to Mira and Lisanna, I was told they easily overpowered Ibaba and Run, I expect no less from Wizards of Fairy Tail.)"

"However, you don't seem much as a threat." Suzuka commented.

"(She's right, I also have to keep regretting this over and over.)" Tatsumi thought looking frustrated.

"ICE MAKE: KNUCKLE FIST!"

Suzuka turned around dodging the Lancers but the ground was punched in the face sending her to nearby building's window.

Gray appeared. "Sounds like this woman is tough cookie." He then looked at his comrade. "Tatsumi, you go on assist the others, I'll handle her!"

"Are you sure?" The browned haired swordman asked.

The ice wizard nodded. "I do, oh I know you'll get stronger sometime in the future, just don't give up."

Tatsumi nodded with a smile. "Alright."

Suzuka then jumped out of the ruined building she was in. "Amazing, your ice powers is more powerful then Esdeath, but I don't want her to hear that."

Gray then stripped off shirt. "Enough talk!"

Suzuka was surprised. "What're you stripping for?" As the ice wizard tossed his shirt aside. "Isn't it obvious..."

Suzuka began to fantasize with Gray blushing bashfully. "Because I want you." This left the last Rakshara Demon with a blushing red face then she put her left hand on her chest while looking away. "What is this, my heart is beating so fast, what is this feeling?"

Gray was totally confused what the last Rakshara Demon was mumbling about.

Meanwhile Mine fired her Pumpkin which let out bullets like a machine gun which seemed more powerful.

"Whoa, why is your weapon so strong now?" Seryu asked.

Koro began to deal down as pieces of his flesh was coming off due to the bullets.

"I was holding back, also after our last battle I almost found out where the core is." Mine replied.

Gajeel grinned knowing the pinkette's words. "I see, if we take out this core, then its over for that monster mutt!"

Levy smiled cheerfully. "That means Seryu will lose her Imperial Arms!"

Seryu growled angrily. "Damn you monsters, KORO USE YOUR TRUMP GO BERSERK!"

Koro grew muscular and his arms got even larger with deep red blood fur as he and Seryu began to glide towards her opponents with her drill. "NOW FIRE EMMA'S SPEAR OF JUSTICE!"

Mine dodged it and Gajeel was about to assist her when Koro palmed him away.

Levy went to assist him when Seryu kicked her the stomach.

The spear landed in the ground but Mine noticed it was going to exploded which send her flying away. "(Damn, even those aren't Imperial Arms, they're strong weapons.)"

Mine then recovered to land on her feet by using Pumpkin then Seryu reeled herself down but as she did Mine took aim and some of her gun's bullets hit the same part of waist that was damaged by Levy's Solid Script Fire."

"Bitch!" Seryu shouted as a gun appeared from her mouth and fired it but Mine blocked but then Seryu made all the down to the ground and started to swinging her fists multiple times.

Mine struggled to block every punch using her Pumpkin but was eventually punched in the face and her stomach went sent her crashing onto the ground.

Koro appeared beside her. "Are you alright?" Seryu asked as her dog companion nodded. "Good its time to finish off this Demon, then we'll go after the Dragon Slayer freak and short blue haired demon."

Mine opened her eyes slightly as she recalled when she laid down when she was little.

Flashback scene.

"This reminds me of when..."

Her past wen through her mind when she was little kid. "Whenever I was picked on because of the half-blood foreigner, I was left with wounds all over my body, I looked to the sky like this, that's when nobody would help me, however I can make up for my misfortunes...in the future there won't be any irrational discrimination because I will change this world into a peaceful one!"

Flashback ends.

Seryu smiled madly as Koro snarled. "This is the end..."

Suddenly Gajeel appeared with Levy at his side. "No way!" Seryu yelled.

"Listen here Seryu!" Gajeel shouted as he growled. "I have to say you and your friends made mistake!"

Seryu giggled amusingly. "What was our mistake?"

"That making Wizards of Fairy Tail as your enemies!" Gajeel began to walk toward the girl. "For killing Sheele and making Levy cry, I make you pay."

Levy blushed slightly astonished. "Gajeel..."

Seryu just smiled amusingly and so did Koro.

Suddenly an aura was coming out of Gajeel which the group sensed. "What kind of aura is he given off?" Mine wondered.

Seryu was now looking slightly cautious feeling the aura which was different. "Strange, this aura I'm feeling it doesn't seem human..."

"ARRRRGHHH!" Gajeel's roar was loud and was not just any roar it was the roar of a Dragon.

"(That roar, it must...)" Levy thought seemingly familiar with the roar.

Seryu was feeling a chill down her spine. "What was that, a Dragon's roar?"

Koro then slowly backed away slightly.

"IRON SHADOW DRAGON MODE!"

Gajeel transformed, his body was soon covered in iron scales, his eyes glowed white, and a shadow energy was coming out of his entire body. "I teach you what happens when someone like you and your monster dog makes a Fairy Tail Wizard as an enemy!"

Levy recognized this form its the same one that he gained during his fight against Rogue the Shadow Dragon Slayer.

Seryu felt a chill down her spine and she looked at her left metal hand. "What is this, my hand is trembling, is this fear?"

Koro started to whimper slightly.

At Path of peace headquarters.

People were running out of the mansion.

Susanoo swung his spear at Dorya making her crash into a wall.

Natala charged at the Imperial Arms human but Erza who as in her Lightning Empress Armor fired lighting at Kurome's puppet which shocked him and knocked him out.

Kurome was surprised. "(Such power this woman has.)"

Leone approached her friends. "Oh, Erza, Su, nice work."

Su smirked impressively. "Yes, also Erza is something, I can see now what other wizards from Earthland are capable of."

The Armor wizard smiled at the comment. "You're quite warriors yourselves."

Kurome took out her sword. "Where is my sister?"

Leone cracked her knuckles. "Oh you want to know, well we're not telling you, but I will make you pay for nearly cutting off my arm!"

Kurome was about to move when she felt the wound behind her neck hurt. "(Damn, I still haven't healed yet.)"

The blonde charged closer but Wave blocked her attack sending her slide backwards. "Stop picking on her!" He noticed Erza. "Wait, who are you?"

Erza stared off. "My name is Erza Scarlet, I believe you know Gray Fullbuster, am I right?"

Wave's eyes widened. "I see, you must be a friend of his, then you're my enemy too."

Erza scoffed. "Is that so, I guess you haven't seen how much the Empire is corrupted?"

The country man's eyes had a realization expression. "Well, I..."

"That's right, if you did see, you know its reason this world won't ever find peace." Erza stated.

"Yes, but I'm still soldier of Esdeath's army, and Night Raid is breaking the peace of this Empire!" Wave proclaimed.

Erza then had amusingly smile on her face(the same smile that she made at Master Jose)which Wave noticed. "What are you laughing about?"

"I think its laughable that you're foolishly serving a cold-blooded woman like General Esdeath, but I'm even more amused how incredibly you're misjudging the Empire let alone Night Raid!"

Wave's eyes widened. "What?"

"Night Raid is spilling blood like you said, but its because they know this Empire is more corrupted than you and your friends can see, the weak are suffering while the strong are surviving, I was told that your leader doesn't care or feel any sympathy for weak, all she cares for is the strong, in fact some your teammates are just like she is!" Erza stated.

Wave gritted his teeth.

"I also know the fact that Dr Stylish has his own team, I'm sure you know that, right?" Erza asked.

Wave's quietly gasped confirmed her question. "I see, if you didn't hear but we fought against him and his team, however as soon as the fight was in our favor, he devoured his own teammates to make himself stronger!" Erza yelled angrily. "It makes me sick that this Empire is being so cruel and enjoying the pain of the people suffering and seeing them cower in fear, and torturing them too!"

Wave paused at what he was hearing.

Erza changed her Armor into the Morning Star Armor. "However, if you can't see that yet, then we'll have to fight after all not matter who is good or kind-hearted, an enemy is an enemy!"

Wave came back to his senses after seeing the red head woman in a different armor. "Amazing, she changed her armor just like that."

Leone and Susanoo were equally amazed. "Whoa, she must have a lot of armor."

Wave wasted no time and then slammed his sword onto the floor. "GRAND CHARIOT!" He declared as he was now in his own armor.

Erza smiled impressively. "Very interesting."

Wave charged and jumped down as he kicked down. "GRAND FALL!"

Erza dodged easily and fired two photon streams from her two swords. "PHOTON SLICER!"

Wave was send flying and crashed where the Kurome's puppets were. "Man, this chick is no pushover." He groaned as he noticed his armor was already falling apart.

"Amazing, his armor is falling apart already." Su said impressed.

"That's the great Erza for ya." Leone commented.

Wave got up and charged again but suddenly Poison Ivy came out of nowhere. "Dark Vine!"

Dark vines with thorns took the country man in a tight bind. "Aah!"

It was Poison Ivy. "Heh, heh, such a weak human." Wave was then thrown to the floor making the room tremble.

Leone was surprised yet the other side of her was shocked. "Great its one of the Demons."

"Yes, to think one of the Demons of Tartaros is here, things got tough." Susanoo added.

"This is bad." Erza said worriedly.

Kurome gritted her teeth and charge at Kay and swung her sword but Poison Ivy quickly saw her. "Grass Trip!"

A dark grass appeared from the ground and tied into a knot which caused Kurome to trip on the floor.

"Such a pathetic girl, now take this!" Poison Ivy's arm changed into a leaf like blade. "Leaf Sword!"

Lily appeared and tackled the Plant Demon on her side surprising Kurome. "What the hell are you, some kind of cat?"

The Exceed looked at her ignoring the question. "You must Kurome, I heard the things you did, to think someone like you using people's corpses to fight by your side, that isn't something humans shouldn't do its upsetting, especially for friends of yours that died."

The young Jaeger girl gritted her teeth what she was hearing then Kurome noticed Wave's struggling to get up. "I must keep...fighting." He fainted as his armor deactivated.

The young female Jaeger turned her attention to her enemies. "This is bad, I'm outnumbered."

Just then the right side of the room exploded and created smoke.

"What the hell?!" Leone exclaimed.

Then Leon appeared. "Time for this cat to pounce!" He lunged at the blonde Night Raid girl.

Susanoo swung his staff and whammed the Panther Demon making him slide on the floor. "Heh, not bad for a human." Leon commented. "I won't fall that easily, DARK FURY SWIPES!"

Poison Ivy faced the humans. "LEAF STORM!"

Lisanna then appeared in her Feline Form and slashed the Panther Demon on the face.

"DARK LIGHTNING!" Mira unleashed her dark lightning attack which went through Poison Ivy's attack and struck her.

Elfman then appeared in his Tiger form and tackled the Plant Demon making her crash into the wall.

Kurome narrowed her eyes at three wizards that just attacked the two Demons. "More wizards, this got tougher."

"Oh, did you three get those girls out of their prison cells?" Su asked.

The three Take Over Siblings smiled in return. "You bet, we did."

Leone smiled. "Good job!"

"I have to something to say to Kurome!" Lisanna spoke.

The Yatefusa User narrowed her eyes at the young Take Over Sibling.

"Kurome, no matter what you think of Akame, she's still your sister and its sickens me that you want to kill despite that she knows that the Empire is corrupted, secondly its wrong to revive the dead even if they are friends of yours!" Lisanna stated. "Lastly, its sad when we lose friends and you're right, but death is something that comes to everyone, its part of life!"

Elfman decided to speak. "Right, someone told me our friends live on in our hearts and memories!"

"Though, its not our job to tell us how you should feel, I see your reason of not leaving the Empire is because you didn't want to make current comrades your enemies." Mira said.

Kurome gasped quietly. "(How did she...)"

"I think its time for this Panther to take more serious." Leon stated as he grew a littler taller and his muscles got more larger, then he grew large black wings on his back and two large teeth above his mouth hung out from his mouth(Like a Sabre Tooth Tiger's).

"ETHERIOUS FORM: WINGED BEAST PANTHER!"

Leone was feeling a chill down her spine.

Kurome was speechless at what she was seeing.

"I too will get serious now!" Poison Ivy proclaimed.

Her body began to grow dark leaves, her fingers nails grew into claws, she had teeth of a man-eating plant, and her eyes glowed green, her legs vanished and replaced with six plant roots. "ETHERIOUS FORM: DEMONIC PLANT!" She then let out a bellow noise.

Borick was in his room startled at the sound he heard. "What the hell was that?"

"This battle is going to be tough." Susanno said looking cautious.

Wave abruptly got up and grabbed hold of Kurome. "Let's get out of here!"

"Don't let them get away!" Leone exclaimed.

Susanno put his hand the blonde' shoulder. "We got bigger problems, for now let's just deal these Demons."

"He's right, we have no choice." Erza agreed.

"We must lead them out of this place and outside the city!" Mira suggested.

"Good we don't want to cause bloodshed." Su agreed.

"Demons come and chase us!" Leone called as she ran off with the others.

Poison Ivy chased after on the ground while Leon dashed until he was outside and flew up into the air.

Borick who was in his room was getting startled by the noises including the rumbling then he saw General Esdeath approaching him. "General, I need the..."

"Shut up, you're getting what you deserve." The General stated coldly. "If you listened to me, then you wouldn't be in this mess."

Borick crouched down on the floor. "Please, protect me, the Minister..." Esdeath put her heel on his face. "Yes, orders are orders but I forbid you to leave, understood?"

The browned beard man struggled to speak. "Yes...I do."

Meanwhile the battle between Gray and Suzuka continued.

"ICE MAKE: GEYSER!"

Gray created a frozen geyser emerged from the ground and approached in front Suzuka but she jumped up then fall down while her finger nails grew longer

"ICE MAKE: ICE SHIELD!" Gray put his hands out and created an ice shield blocking Suzuka's attack.

The older Rakshara Demon was impressed. "Such a strong man you are." She then charged but as she went where Gray was, his body turned into ice and shattered into pieces. "What the?"

Suddenly Gray embraced her tightly. "Fooled, you!"

Suzuka struggled to get loose but then one of Gray's hands accidentally touched her thighs which made her blushing red even more. "Such a nice legs you have." Gray said which was only the older Rakshara Demon's imagination. "Oh, you know what to say to a girl."

Gray was now making an awe look. "Where did that come, did you forget we're enemies?!"

Suzuka turned her head away. "Oh, you're quite the cold one aren't ya, well if that's the case I will force myself on ya, I mean my feelings."

Her fingers grew longer that and pulled down his pants. "Oh man!" Gray exclaimed.

Suzuka blushed red seeing a man in his boxers.

"I'll get you for that lady!" Gray's body began to glow with the frozen aura that sent chills all over Suzuka's body.

Gray jumped back on the frozen geyser then raised the middle part high and Gray stood up taking aim with is Ice arrow. "I WILL GIVE YOU AN ICE MAKE: ARROW, KEEP IN MIND WHEN THIS OVER, YOU'RE GONNA WISH YOU NEVER MADE FAIRY TAIL WIZARDS YOUR ENEMY!"

He fired his ice arrow as Suzuka just stared off with a bashful smile. "Whoa, such a hunk."

The attack created an explosion which send Suzuka crashing into the buildings which collapsed on her until there was nothing but rumble. "I win, now I have to go help the others."

Meanwhile Gajeel now in his Shadow Iron Dragon mode began to inhale his breath.

Mine took her shot. "I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE!"

She fired her pumpkin which shot through Koro's stomach destroyed the core and separating Koro's body in half.

Seryu gritted his teeth. "The Ten Kings are out of ammunition, but I still have these!"

Her metal arms disappeared and replaced with guns. "JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!" Seryu fired her bullets which shot the pumpkin out of Mine hands making her weapon's laser slice a building in half.

Gajeel took a deep breath as image of Sheele came to his head including how he saw her and Levy becoming friends. "SHEELE, THIS IS FOR YOU, IRON SHADOW DRAGON'S ROAR!" He unleashed his shadow iron breath attack at Seryu who was engulfed causing her scream in great pain. "AAAAHHH!"

The attack caused the ground to shake making some ruined buildings to fall down to the ground while some fell apart as the smoke dust cleared Seryu was seen on the ground laying on her back her body was severely damaged and her clothes were torn.

The pinkette girl stood still while Gajeel went back to his human form. "Amazing, such a strong weapon you have." The Iron Dragon Slayer praised with a grin.

"Yes, the more danger I'm in the more powerful Pumpkin becomes." Mine commented. "So the moment she pissed me off my weapon got stronger, I admit your Dragon Slayer magic is quite strong than I thought, I think understand the difference between our world and yours."

Gajeel grinned as he made his trademark laugh.

"That was close battle and I'm still breathing." Levy commented in relief.

Seryu began to laugh madly as she got up slightly gazing at the four. "Justice will always prevail, evil must be cast off no matter the cost."

Her teeth made a click sound. "Judgement of Ten Kings, Final Number: Charkravartin Furance of Five Hells."

They heard a ticking sound coming from Seryu. "Fifteen seconds is what you two have left?"

"What do you mean?" Mine asked.

"This new ultimate weapon is what I received from the Doctor, simply put, I'll blow up and take you four down with me!" Seryu proclaimed madly laughing.

"Are you crazy using a suicide Bomb?!" Gajeel asked shocked.

"We need to leave at once!" Levy suggested.

Mine tried to use her Pumpkin again. "Crap, its overheated."

Tatsumi arrived. "Hey, guys what happened?"

Gajeel picked up Levy on his shoulder. "Never mind that, carry Mine while I carry Levy!"

The swordsman was confused but did what the Iron Dragon Slayer ordered by picking up his pinkette friend. "Come on."

Seryu just smirked while laughing madly but she stopped as she heard Koro crawling towards her with a low whimper and laid his chin on her side "Koro, you can't heal yourself anymore now that your core is destroyed, its not fair, that there's so much evil in this world that needs to be removed." She then started to teary eyed. "I can't die when there's..."

Then Goliath appeared looking down at Seryu who saw him. "Dr Stylish is that you?"

Dr Stylish smiled. "Its me, I'm here."

Seryu was happy but then she saw he was now. "What the, Dr, you're a..."

"However I'd prefer you would call me, Goliath the Demon Gargoyle of Tartaros!" Dr Stylish/Goliath transformed his hand into spiky club made of stone. "Stone Spiked Club!"

Koro whimpered in fear as he shut his eyes as Seryu looked up in fear. "Dr, what you're doing?"

Goliath slammed his stone spiked club down as amount of blood sprayed on his face.

The device inside Seryu was crushed too.

Mine struggled to ran faster. "Damn it, we need to run faster!"

"What happened to the explosion?" Levy asked.

Mine then stopped glancing in the direction where Seryu was. "What's gives, the explosion from Seryu hasn't..."

Golaith then climbed the cliff wall up onto the edge. "It seems that being a Demon is more fun, but I enjoy being like this." He glide into the air while carrying Seryu's body.

Back Koro was, the Imperial Arms Dog entire body was crushed with blood underneath.

Shortly later.

Mine woke up from her little nap.

"Tatsumi, its you." She said looking tired. "Where are the others?"

He motioned his head to the left.

"Hey, kid, we're in one piece." Gajeel grinned.

Levy smiled at her friend's look. "Thanks for carrying me away."

"Shut it, you busy body." Gajeel turned his head away closing his eyes.

"Ah, you're still jerk." Levy scoffed.

"Anyway, we manged to get away." Tatsumi said smiling.

"Yeah, we won't lose anymore people like we lost Bulat and Sheele." Gray added.

"He's right, I'm glad you're safe." Tatsumi said kindly with a smile.

Mine was surprised that she began to cry.

The Iron Dragon Slayer scoffed. "Come on, let's leave them alone."

The two Night Raid teenagers stared off the night sky.

"Guess Gray defeated Suzuka?" Mine guessed.

Tatsumi smiled. "I suppose so, I just hope its the last we'll see of her."

Mine turned her head away for a sec then she smiled while blushing. "Listen you can be an idiot but, I'm really glad you're safe too, thank you for coming back to us."

Tatsumi's face went red as he scratched his chin nervously. "Uh, sure...yeah."

At Borick's room.

Esdeath went to check on Borick, but as soon as she went into his room but no sign of him. "Where is that pig?"

"He already ran away and his prisoners are free." The Commander glanced her eyes back. "Is that..."

"Its been awhile, I'm pretty sure you know we got more Fairy tail wizards." Najenda pointed out. "Anyway, Borick is being silenced as we speak."

Homaika was fighting against Akame using his Sycthe which collided with her sword. "Nice try."

Borick noticed something spreading on his bodyguard's body. "Oh no!"

Musasame's curse was taken effect. "But it barely even scratched me."

Borick tried to run but then he realized he couldn't. "Psychic Control." Taran had her left hand straight out. " You won't be going anywhere, you sick pig."

Suddenly Lubbock who was behind the bearded man tied his Cross-Tail string around his neck and hung him up which killed him.

Najenda revealed to be smoking with a smile. "I always knew you came up with clever schemes, I have better understanding of your talent than anyone therefore taking you head would be foolish."

Esdeath hissed in frustration.

Meanwhile Team Natsu returned.

"I hope they'll alright." Wendy said looking concerned.

"Child, Kelly and Monica will be fine." Carla said. "

"Hey, they're tough girls." Lucy commented.

"I wonder if they're just as hot-headed as Lucy." Natsu commented with a chuckle.

Lucy took that offense. "Hey!"

"I wonder when we eat." Happy wondered. "I hope they can make fish."

Early the next morning

Wave was in his guest room thinking about what Erza told him.

"I think its laughable for you to serve such a psychopath but more like a monster like General Esdeath, but I'm even more amused how incredibly you're misjudging the Empire let alone Night Raid!"

Wave's cupped his hands together tight as he hissed.

"Night Raid is spilling blood like you said, but they know this Empire is corrupted than you and your team can see, also Esdeath cares nothing for the weak, she only cares for the strong."Wave clenched his hands.

"(Can what she said be true?)" He thought.

Run was in his room having thoughts again.

Levy's words came to his mind. "Your plan isn't going to change anything, its hopeless and don't get your friends involved you'll only put your and other lives at risk of being killed!"

Taran's words came to his head. "General Esdeath, the Minister, and those that are messed up only care for bloodshed and war, nothing else matters to them not even the weak, also none of them will see your way!"

Gajeel's words came to his mind. "You won't admit that cause of the violence that has happened including your students deaths."

Run gritted his teeth while lowering his head down. "(That can't be true, my plan will be realized, or can my plan be possible.)"

Kurome was sitting on her bed as she did the words that Lisanna and Elfman said her was in her head.

"Akame is still your sister, it sickens me that you both want to kill despite the fact how Empire is corrupted, secondly never use deceased especially the ones that were your friends for your gain let alone use as puppets!" Lisanna stated.

Elfman words came to her head next. "Right, its sad when we lose friends, but someone told me that our friends will live on in our hearts as long as as we can remember them!"

Mira's words came to her head last. "Yes, we also understand your reasoning of not leaving the Empire because you didn't want to make current comrades enemies, however Akame said you want to keep Natala by your side forever, I think what you really mean is that you won't move forward."

Kurome shook her head was feeling really ticked off. "(No, that's just bull shit, they don't know what they were talking about, they're just planning mind games with me!)" She then looked at her sword that was on the drawer next to her bed as images of Natala came to her mind.

"(Natatla, I brought you back to me so we can be together, but is that I want really want?)" She thought confused as she clenched her hands tighter.

At Kyoroch's church the six children ran to meet up with Seryu in the kickball field but to their surprise.

"Where is big sis Seryu?" A boy asked.

"Where is that other woman?" Another boy asked. "BIS SIS SERYU, WHERE ARE YOOOU?" They both called.

Jeremy was confused where Seryu and Suzuka were. "(Where is she, did she...)"

Goliath was on the roof top with three figures behind him and he was carrying Seryu's dead body.

Flashback scene.

Dr Stylish/Goliath was talking with Poison Ivy, Leon, and Beni.

"Goliath, you think those kids like Seryu?" Leon asked.

"Yes, from what I overheard, they look up to her and I'm sure they'll be at the cathedral on the next day so we can cause more destruction." The Former Jaeger replied with a malicious smile.

Poison Ivy smiled at this. "Alright, let's get to work, however Beni return to the Tartaros lab while we handle things here."

Beni nodded before flying away. "Understood."

Flashback ends.

Goliath then threw Seryu's body onto the ground which the kids noticed and were horrified that they screamed which made a guard arrive instantly noticing Sery's body.

Inside the Cathedral hallway the male guard was running through and barged into the meeting room. "There is an emergency situation!"

There in the center was a table with the same old fortunate teller woman that told Akame's fortunate, on the other side was two fortunate tellers one was another woman with long silver hair while second was an old man with a white beard that went around his mouth to his chin and was wearing glasses.

"What is the fuss about?" The silver hair woman asked with a sigh.

"This better important!" The white beard man added rising his fist.

The guard bowed his head. "I'm sorry but there's a dead body in the kick ball field!"

Suddenly something grabbed him from behind then blood sprayed to the horror of three old fortunate tellers then Goliath came running to them snarling while the three elders screamed in horror.

Poison Ivy opened her mouth. "Bullet Seed Shot!"

She fired a amount of seeds out of her mouth which were sent like bullets from a machine gun.

Jeremy saw this and took cover but the three kids were shot from their backs which made them drop to the ground.

"Poison Ivy then noticed three other kids running away. "Seed Bomb Barrage!"

She threw an amount of seeds that exploded onto the kick ball field like bombs that hit a boy and a girl.

Then a guard was fleeing from inside then Leon confronted him. "What the hell are you?" he asked frighteningly.

Leon raised his left hand. "Your worse nightmare." The guard watched in horror. "Dark Fury Swipes."

The guard was swiped multiple times as blood sprayed in the air.

From afar was Run, Kurome, and Wave riding on horses. "What is going on there?"

"My guess is as good as yours." Kurome answered.

Run has a bad feeling. "Something isn't right that's for sure."

They eventually at the cathedral entrance and walked to see the damages. "Let's go." Wave ordered.

The two Jaegers followed their friend.

End of chapter with cliffhanger.
