Welcome all to another Chapter of Emperor of The Ruin, don't know why but after all the stress that was writing the Tower Of Heaven I'm glad to say it's over.
WARNING ALERT: Rant Time ;)
Ok so to start off Kazuki is getting there ok the means of being op, literally I only gave him his Etherious form so he's on pare with Laxus. And also the main main reason is cause I can.
Trust me though he won't use it as often as some other Slayers use the multiple modes.
This is more of a stress plot rant cause I don't know how this will exactly work. But if I decide to it has to be done this chapter... Fuck plots that go into my head.
But regardless I hope you all enjoy this chapter. And sonce I haven't uploaded in a long time I'll try to make it longer for you ;)
Chapter 21: Betrayal
It was cold... And dark. A feeling that used to be so natural but is slowly becoming foreign to him again. Strangely it doesn't feel right to him now.
He looks around and sees nothing but darkness and cannot breathe. As he is looking he see's an outline of something.
Almost as if it is radiating of that person is all the negative and aggressive spectrum. Once he takes a closer look he see's... Himself.
He see's himself with glowing red eyes with a look of destruction and rage on his face. Compared to his regular purple eyes he look normal.
Suddenly an image appears almost as if it's a portal. He see's himself at the guild hall but it's in Ruins and he see's himself killing everyone close to him.
Kill after Kill after Kill, he doesn't stop. He just keeps going for anyone to cure his bloodthirsty rush. So much that he kills the person he loved the most in the process.
It's now all becoming clear to himself, he doesn't see himself. But more or less what it represents, he doesn't see himself. Between the red eyes, pure rage, and the powerful desire of blood...
He realizes he isn't seeing his future, but instead it's future. He see's... Crow.
"Kazuki" Mirajane says to him backing up slowly. Crow only smirks at her before using his right hand to grab her by the throat.
"Kazuki!" Mirajane screams muffled as Kazuki is in complete horror by what he's seeing.
Crow cocks back his left hand before ramming it right through her heart. The only thing left is a very high pitched scream from Mirajane.
"Kazuki!" Master yells as him.
"Kazuki!" He says even louder before everything goes blank.
Kazuki wakes up leaning forward extremely quick breathing heavily. After a few seconds of breathing he places his hand his head forehead feeling a headache.
He notices he's shirtless with bandages over his body and is sweating heavily all over. He looks around and notices he's in the same room as the hotel.
"Huh? How'd I get here?" Kazuki says confused getting out the bed only to feel pain. He sucks it up or atleast tries to as he falls to the ground on his knees.
"Last thing I remember is... Fighting Shino..." Kazuki says lowly. "And... Me getting a new mode, and Erza Natsu and Mira..."
Once he remembers he stands up again feeling the pain before walking out the room. He hears laughter and an overall good time coming from Erza's dining hall area.
Kazuki slightly opens the door and takes a look inside and sees Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy, Mirjane and the guys from The Tower of Heaven all enjoying themselves.
Upon seeing this Kazuki snaps as he swings the door wide open glaring at everybody, including Mirajane who was laughing with Millianna.
"So what do we have here?! An let's take the enemy out to dinner party?" Kazuki says to them.
Erza's the first one to step up,"Kazuki it's fine. They're not here to hurt anybody anymore, hence the reason they're here."
In Kazuki's eyes he simply sees Fairytail and the people that tried to kill him at one point and almost killed everyone in Fairytail for some psychopath named Jellal.
"You know what I see?" Kazuki begins. "A bunch of people I call family hanging around with people that literally just tried to kill us and we're the reason of me knocking on deaths door."
Shô, Simon, Millianna and Wally are all taken back by his harsh but somewhat true words. Kazuki's eyes meets Mirajane who looks almost sad and shock.
This look made Kazuki's eyes go soft for a quick second before looking at the four people he wanted to kill before grunting and slamming the door in rage and leaving.
Everybody flinches a bit before Erza simply sighs. "Listen I'm sorry about him, I've never seen him act like that in the short amount of time I've known him."
Natsu and Lucy nods in agreement,"He's always been a realistic type of person in the inside but never that serious" Lucy says.
"But he is right, we did try to kill you-" Simon starts but stops due to an angry Mirajane who is leaking a lot of magic.
"Pardon me... I'll set him straight!" Mirajane vows before walking out going to find her boyfriend and beat some sense into him.
"Something tells me to pray for Kazuki" Gray says outloud. Millianna looks at him,"And why is that?"
"Well he has always had a weak spot for Mirajane and has shown to do almost anything for her. The exact reason why he was the first to storm the tower and was in a total rush the moment we entered."
"And due to that if Mira's pissed at him, I don't think he has any hope" Gray finishes as everybody understands what he's implying.
Natsu is the one to the break the newly formed ice by playing with his fire effectively burning some pork.
Everyone sighs but begins to resume what they were doing.
Kazuki is sitting on the sandy rock as his feet are in the water looking up towards the moon. "They can't seriously trust those guys after everything they put us through?!"
"They kidnapped Erza and Mirajane, were the reason I died technically, but yet everyone decides to be buddy buddy with them still?! It's bullshit and retarded!" Kazuki shouts outloud before charging a high pressure ball of magic before throwing it out in the ocean.
This draws a lot of attention towards him but he doesn't really care anymore. He watches it explode in explosion of his aura as is makes the water fly up in the air before falling back down.
A familiar presence his being sensed by his body before he sees Mirajane storming towards him. "Great now I have to deal with Mira" Kazuki says annoyed.
He jumps off the rock facing Mirajane who doesn't say anything but walks up to him and slaps him as hard as she can.
"Love you too" He says sarcastically to her. "What in the hell is your problem?! They're not our enemies anymore, they're our friends."
Kazuki lowly growls at the word friend,"Listen Mirajane" Kazuki says siting ok the sand looking towards the ocean.
"I'm always for looking out for the people I love and care about. I've always been like that, it's who I am. But regardless how everyone in Fairytail thinks about people, if you hurt my friends in the slightest! Especially you, Erza, Lucy, and Natsu! You'll always be my enemy no matter what."
Mira looks down at him before sitting down too. "Why do you feel the need to hold grudges?"
Kazuki sighs as he thinks back to that time...
"Ok listen and listen closely. As you know I was raised in a village in the middle of nowhere, and frankly I'm not sure if I said this before but it was more of a town than a village cause it was huge. Filled with schools, buildings... All hidden in the middle of nowhere."
"I used to get bullied a lot especially by a guy named Tora. He was the bane to my existence, the only reason he stopped was when he brought Irina into the picture and due to Xenovik influence. I beat him up and ever since then he never bullied me again. Actually extremely nice to me, helping me make friends since I was kinda a to myself person you all know now."
"At that time the village didn't know about the ritual of Xenovik being sealed into me at all just so you know. But anyway one day Tora was over my house one day, I left the house to go get Irina some food and him some snacks before he left."
Kazuki eyes goes red as he clenches his fist extremely tight, Mirajane notices small streams of red go down his hand. "On my way back I hear... Screaming. It was Irina of course, I quickly drop all my bags to see what happened. And... And..."
(Warning graphic)
"Irina was ontop of a bed on all fours completely naked who was screaming in complete pain and trying to leave. But she couldn't because Tora had a tight grip around her as he was literally rapping her in my own house by my doing!" Kazuki shouts as this whole time he has been making a ball of magic in his left hand that his almost the size of his Eguzairu as he throws it towards the ocean.
This makes a big explosion as the water is coming high and quick towards the beach. Kazuki puts up a blue glyph blocking the water around the area.
People start to leave due to potentially losing their life twice. Kazuki and Mirajane both notice this but ignore it.
"That's fucking horrible" Mirajane says. "And now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure ever since that day she wanted to come the strongest Mage ever. But honestly it might have been so she could protect herself when I wasn't around" Kazuki says.
Mirajane sighs because Kazuki is most likely not going to like what she's about to say, so she leans into him so her head is on his chest.
"That might be so but you can't assume that every bad person at first can't turn good, and we're a guild that was made under the idea of helping others. Even those who have done wrong in the past."
Kazuki looks down at her beautiful blue crystal eyes as he slowly begins to ease up. "Maybe so but I don't knowin I can change in an instant just cause you said it."
Mirajane smiles and looks up at him and kisses him,"You don't have to change right this very instant dummy. But I just want you to open up to people that used to be your enemies."
The future King of Devils leans down to kiss her back as the two just stay there for awhile looking at the ocean and the starry sky.
After the two are finished relaxing they decide to head back but Kazuki senses Erza's magic at the other side of the beach as the both walk over there.
Once they get there, Gray and Natsu are making fireworks out of their magic. Erza is in some amazing armor in Kazuki's opinion with a Fairytail flag.
And Lucy and Mirajane start shouting there goodbyes. The misfits smile back at them and say there own goodbyes.
Kazuki just stands there as a white glyph appears infront of him as he walks infront of it. He appears next to the boat as he is sitting but floating above the water due to a black glyph repelling him and moving with the boat.
"I just wanted to say sorry for my outburst today. I might not have got to know you guys like the rest but I wish the best for all of you" Kazuki says.
"That's fine" Simon says to him. "If we were in shoes I know that I would have done the same thing, so no hard feelings and I think we can all agree on that" Shô says.
Everybody there nods as Kazuki smiles before the black glyph turns into a white one as he falls into it as another on appears next to Erza as he appears next to her.
"Hey I just want to sa-" Kazuki tries to start. "Don't there is no need, I know you had a minor change in heart. If you didn't you wouldn't have gone to talked to them one last time."
Kazuki nods as he smiles and begins to charge a Eguzairu. "Hamestu Akuma:Eguzairu!" (Ruin Devils Exile) he shouts as he throws the huge into the sky alittle infront of them.
Once it explodes Kazuko molds it into something. "Until The Next Time" Is lit up in the sky in purple, black, and green.
Everybody smiles at the deed before they decide to leave. Once everybody got in the hotel again for the rest of the night they could all tell that Kazuki and Mira were having a good time.
A/N: Ok I think that story might give a clear explanation the reason why Kazuki was mostly emotionless and why he didn't trust most people back the .
But yeah I decided to save what I was planning for next chapter. I wasn't going to fit it and the overall chapter in one chapter.
Not sure if it will take 1 or 2 chapters yet but I guess we'll find out. But until next time leave a Review ;)
