Hawk's Story: Fairy Tail
Chapter 25
Hawk gripped his sword. "Looks like the mercenary decided to play first." Hades taunted.
"Talk while you can, because I'm stronger now. I've met plenty of people stronger than you." Hawk told Hades.
"Really, and who might they be?" The thought of someone being stronger than him made him chuckle.
"You ever heard of a man named Ghiller?"
"No. I've never heard that name before."
"Damn, I was hoping you could enlighten me as to who he was." He sighed. "Oh well, let's get started."
Hawk charged in. He swung his sheathed sword at Hades, but Hades caught it. Hawk used Hades grip to unsheathe his sword and swung the blade at him. Hades sidestep and went to delivers a palm to Hawk's face, but he jumped to his back and kicked Hades in the gut. Hades stumbled backwards allowing Hawk jump up and land behind Hades. He delivered a wicked elbow to Hades spine, causing Hades to collapse forward.
Hades pulled himself up and brushed himself off. "I see, so you gotten stronger."
"That's right. And so has everyone in the guild. You'd be smart to leave before they get here."
"I admit you're strong, but unfortunately not strong enough." At incredible speed, Hades appeared in front of Hawk and delivered a palm to Hawk's chest, knocking the wind out of him. He then followed up with an uppercut, sending Hawk high in the air. Hades shot his magic chains at Hawk and bound Hawk's hands together. He proceeded to smash Hawk against the opposing walls. After a few slams he pulled Hawk in and grabbed him by the throat. "Looks like you're in the same predicament as the last time. Too bad the Shadow Fairy won't be here to save you."
Hawk began to chuckle. "I don't need his help." Hawk groaned with a smile. He threw his knee up into Hades elbow, causing him to drop Hawk. Hawk land on a knee and then thrust his hands into Hades stomach and chest. "Black Fire Twister!" A spiral of black fire engulfed Hades. When the fire dissipated, Hades was left in a cloud of smoke. Hawk was slow to his feet. "Who's not strong enough now?"
"That would be you." Hades chain shot out of the smoke and latched onto Hawk's throat. He pulled Hawk into his fist forcing him to his knees. Hades put his finger against Hawk's forehead. "Goodbye Fairy." He shot Hawk directly in the forehead. Hades chuckled at Hawk's lifeless body. "That was impressive. He shielded death with his black fire." Hades picked up Hawk's limp body and tossed him off the ship. As his body fell from the ship, Natsu's group were climbing Gray's ice stairs. "Was that Hawk?" Lucy shouted.
"He'll be fine, just keep going!" Erza told them.
After a barrage of magic and a unison raid, Hades was left in the dust. He didn't stay in the dust for long as he was back up picking them apart. Natsu refused to stay down, so Hades hit him with a barrage of magic bullets. As Hades was about to finish Natsu, a large lightning bolt hit the magic flyer. The sound it let off woke Hawk. He looked at the lightning encasing the ship. "It's about time he got here. Looks like I got to go help." He slowly pulled himself to his knees. "I just wish my body wasn't so heavy." He could see lightning scattering from the magic flyer. He pulled himself to his feet and climbed the Gray's ice stairs.
As he reached the top, Laxus was there staring down Hades. Hawk walked and leaned against the wall. "Look who decided to wake up." Laxus greeted, not taking his eyes of Hades.
"You try staying awake after getting shot in the head." Hawk chuckled. "Shouldn't you have won by now, Tough Guy?"
"Can it, Punk."
"Just like Fairy Tail to bicker during a battle." Hades sighed. "I will admit that you brats have surprised me, but like I've said, it won't be enough."
Hades put his hand out and began to charge an attack. Laxus went to stop him but his legs wouldn't move. "Shit, not now." Hades' Amaterasu attack had finally taken effect. Hades launched his attack directly at Laxus. No one was in condition to stop it. So in a last ditch effort, Laxus transferred his lightning to Natsu.
"Laxus!" Natsu shouted as Laxus took the attack head on.
"Natsu, Fairy Tail needs to be the one to beat him. I'm no longer part of Fairy Tail. So for Gramps and the guild, pay him back one hundred times over." Laxus told him.
Natsu's body was surrounded by lightning. Then he surrounded himself in fire as well. "He's a Thunder-Fire Dragon." Wendy mumbled.
"It's payback... times one hundred." Natsu charged in with a blinding punch to the face of Hades. This sent Hades flying into the wall. Natsu quickly followed up with a flaming kick to the top of Hades head. Hades pushed off the fire, but was immediately hit with lightning. Natsu continued his assault. "You hurt our guild, you hurt our friends!" Natsu shouted. Natsu gathered fire and lightning in his hands. "You...Disappear!" He slammed the orb of fire and lightning down on Hades. A dome surrounded Hades.
Hades burst from the dome and shot his chains at Natsu. His chain wrapped around Natsu's hands, but Natsu quickly destroyed the chains, much to the surprise of Hades. Then it Natsu began to charge his attack. "Lightning-Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu unleashed an amazing burst that hit Hades head on. The burst of fire and lightning broke through the wall and flew over Tenroujima. Everyone on the magic flyer were knocked off their feet by the shockwave. When it was over, Natsu stood breathing heavily, while everyone looked on in shock. Hades laid on the ground covered in burns. "We did...it..." Natsu began to fall backwards into a crack in the floor, but Lucy caught him before he fell. "Thanks. I'm really out of magic now." Natsu told her. Lucy pulled him up and everyone gathered around Natsu.
"Such impressive youths." They heard from Hades direction. "Makarov you Bastard, you've raised some fearsome brats." Hades slowly got to his feet. "I wonder how many decades it has been since someone has beaten me like this?"
"You've got to be kidding me!" Gray shouted.
"For your momentary victory, I shall honor you properly." Hades removed his eyepatch. "Devil's Eye...Open." An ominous aura surrounded Hades as he revealed his glowing crimson eye. "I shall show you, the depth of magic. This the realm of magic that far surpasses your imagination."
"What the hell kind of magic is this?" Hawk mumbled.
"I've never felt anything this powerful." Erza mumbled too.
"It's still growing!" Lucy cried.
"It's over, Fairy Tail." Hades declared. "From the Book of Zeref, Volume 4, Verse 20: Hidden Magic, Nemesis!"
"No, he got the books." Hawk cursed mentally.
Monsters began to form from the rubble. Large glowing purple monsters. Everyone felt like they were being destroyed by terror. Everyone except Natsu. "Being afraid, is not something bad. It shows you your weaknesses. And when we know our weaknesses, we get stronger. And when you're with your friends there's nothing to be afraid of!" Natsu declared. With that Fairy Tail was back on their feet. "That's what it means to be in Fairy Tail." They charged in with everything they had left. Hades' monsters began fire their magic energy at them but they managed to dodge. When Natsu tripped, Lucy and Wendy used their momentum and threw Natsu towards Hades. Erza and Gray connected their feet with his and sent him in the air. Hawk then used his sword to launched Natsu downward at Hades.
"Your sun has set, Fairy Tail!" Hades shouted. He launched waves of energy at Natsu, but Natsu connected his fist with Hades face. Hades stammered back and Natsu landed on his feet. "What has happened to my magic?" Hades grumbled. Then he noticed the power in his eye disappearing. "My Heart!" He realized his Devil's Heart must have been destroyed. Natsu charged in with a mean uppercut and Hades' monsters began to crumble.
Natsu continued his assault, then they noticed the ground shaking. "Look!" Hawk pointed out. Ultear's Ark of Time was fixing the Tenroujima tree. Their Fairy Tail symbols began to glow and everyone's magic came flowing back.
"We win!" Natsu shouted, sending another fist at Hades, but he countered with a palm to the face. Hades continued with a strong kick to Natsu's face sending Natsu flying back.
This gave Laxus the chance to sneak up beside Hades. Laxus punched Hades hard in the face. "Do it! Fairy Tail!" Hades blasted Laxus back and Fairy Tail charged in.
Hades let out a large explosion, but that didn't stop them for a second. "Gate of the Goat, I open thee! Capricorn!"
"As you wish Lucy." Capricorn appeared and began an assault on Hades.
Wendy appeared behind the staggering Hades. "Sky Dragon's Wing Slash!" Wendy sent Hades flying forward right into Gray.
"Ice Magic Sword! Ice Bringer!" Gray hit him with two large ice swords.
Erza charged in as Hades began to fall. "Requip! Heaven's Wheel: Pentgram Sword." Erza cut right through him, but Hades landed on his feet.
Natsu charged in from behind with lightning and fire in each hand. "Grimoire La..." Hades spell was interrupted by a pillar of black fire ascending under him.
"Black Fire Eruption!" He jumped out of way and let Natsu do his thing.
"New Secret Dragon Slayer Art! Crimson Exploding Lightning Edge!" Natsu unleashed a powerful lightning fire spiral that engulf Hades. The sun began to rise in the distance as everyone looked on in joy. Hades was finished. Natsu dropped to his knees. "Gramps, we showed 'em. We showed 'em the power of our guild." Natsu mumbled before letting out a scream. "This is our guild!"
