Disclaimer: I own nothing of Fairy Tail but Scarlet Destiny is all mine :D

Shock ran through Kuro, Gray and Juvia.

Their eyes were on nothing else but Blue's face, his real revealed face, as they couldn't really comprehend what they were seeing. His features were strict, high cheekbone and a sharp jawline. Lips thin but a light pink. Eyes glowing a haunting, violent violet.

A very handsome, sophisticated looking face. One that held so much resemblance to none other than Nyx Sosa.

Slave who was still in Juvia's water dome gritted his teeth. He wasn't shocked by Blue's face having seen it before but was rather annoyed. Now that Blue's face was revealed, he knew it was going to bring a new batch of problems with it.

Shadow Blue stood still a few feet away from Blue having stopped by his masters mental command. Blue on the other didn't move an inch. His eyes were on the floor concentrated on the broken pieces of his mask.

Then, suddenly, a sharp chuckle ripped out of Blue. He lifted his head, bringing his violet view on Gray and Kuro, head tilted to the side.

"Now, now Mr. Yami, Mr. Fullbuster you have really done it now. How dare you destroy my mask?" Blue said, his voice rather calm but the undertone of undeniable rage could not be mistaken.

"You look...like Nyx." was the only thing Kuro could say back, as he stared at Blue in confusion.

"I am sorry to inform you, Mr. Yami, but I have no idea who this Nyx individual is. Nor do I care. Please let me repeat my question, How. Dare. You. Destroy. My. Mask?!" by the end of the sentence, Blue was carefully saying each word, slowly full of fury.

Then, Blue moved. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of Slave near Juvia's water dome.

He raised his right-hand and pressed it against the dome. Instantly, Juvia's water dome started to shrink in size. It was clear to all of them, he was absorbing her power. In no time, there was a large thud as Slave dropped to the floor no longer being able to float.

Not a hint of water was in sight.

"Slave," Blue started, tone deadly serious "I am giving you less than a minute to finish Ms. Lockser off. After, you will help me kill Mr Yami and Mr Fullbuster. Do not disappoint me."

"Of course I won't Blue! I'll do it quickly!"

Blue didn't reply. Instead, he turned swiftly and charged towards Gray and Kuro. Kuro noticing the movement, knew he had to act despite still being drowned in thoughts of why Blue looked like Nyx.

Shadow Blue was active again. It rushed to Blue and in the process turned one of its arms into another sharp blade to slash down Blue again. Both of them rushed at each.

However, suddenly before they could reach each other, Blue flipped over on his hands. Bending his arms, Blue shot upwards in the sky over shadow Blue in a perfect flip. Once Blue cleared the shadow for a sec, he did not hesitate to attack.

He raised his left arm and suddenly, sharp water blades shot out of it, similar to Juvia's attacks. Gray was more than ready for it though.

"Ice make: Shield!"

The water blades crashed into the shield. Luckily for Gray, the shield held up and the water blades just broke against it.

Gray let out a smile at blocking the attack as his shield dispersed. However, the smile was quickly taken off his face as he realized that Blue was suddenly next to him, close to his left hand side.

Gray eyes widened, as he realized that the water blades had just been a distraction and what Blue really wanted to do was get close enough to Gray. Without warning, Blue did a quick spin for momentum and launched a high-kick which landed directly against the side of Gray's head.

There was a single moment where Blue's foot was just against Gray's head before Gray shot towards the opposite side of the room due to the momentum of the kick, leaving Kuro side. The other side of Gray's head hit sharply against the wall with a loud thud.

He slid to the floor, not moving.

Kuro eyes widened at the sight and he looked up sharply at Blue who towered above him with a deadly look in his eyes. He raised his left hand to attack...

But, suddenly Blue arm shot back to himself as Blue quickly bended backwards from the hip. He had the privilege of seeing the dark shadow blade slash across where he was previously standing.

Blue managed to move a few spaces back as he put distance between shadow Blue and Kuro, the former standing in front of Kuro somewhat protectively.

Silence fluttered between them.

"I-There's only one reason why you could possible look like Nyx," Kuro spoke and winced at the way his words seemed to scratch against his throat.

He was no where near getting his energy back.

"I thought I already told you I have no need to know about this Nyx."

Kuro shook his head slowly, "Nyx is...She's important. I shouldn't know, I know, Nyx never told me about her past personally, but I know all about it. I found out. Maybe I shouldn't have found out without her knowledge...But, I know she had been through a lot and...I just wanted to know what it was causing her pain and if I could take it away."

Blue raised a single eyebrow, wondering what point Kuro was trying to get too.

Kuro eyes snapped shut as he suddenly yelled out,

"Nyx has two brothers! They were separated from her at a young age as they were taken as slaves separately. But...she remembers them and never stopped looking for them. And, you look like her so much...I think, no, I know! You have to be! You have to be her brother."

A flinch of pain crossed through Blue's mind as he took into account Kuro's words. Brother? A sister? No, not possible. It was just him and his brother. Was Kuro trying to distract him? Make his guard go down? He had no sister, but...

"How did you know I was a slave in the past?" Blue asked slowly, carefully.

He couldn't think of a logical explanation of why. There was no way this boy could know this information about him. Scarcely, anyone knew as it was.

"I told you, didn't I? I know! You are her brother. You have to be."

Blue bit into his lip, as another burst of pain flittered through his mind as he thought about the situation.

"I do not have a sister."

"Yes you do! And...I won't let you!"

"Huh?" Blue replied, confuse at the last sentence that Kuro had just spoken. His head hurt, a pain he never felt before and his mind raced with ideas on what could possibly cause the pain.

One prominent idea came to mind and it was all he could think about it. But, no, what would the Lord gain by manipulating his mind?

"I wont let you." Kuro repeated his previous sentence "I won't let you...Betray Nyx! No way! I won't ever let her go through the betrayal I did or even any form of it. I'll make you remember your her brother and how wrong your recent actions have been even if I have to beat it into you!"

"...Foolish. Idiotic thoughts. I do not like to repeat myself. I have no sister."

"I don't like to repeat myself either! I told you! I will make you remember-"

The rest of Kuro's sentence was shut off forcibly. He let out a sharp, startling gasp as he suddenly couldn't breath anymore. His throat flared in pain as something wrapped around it in a sharp vice. Only then, did Kuro realize the being who had sneaked behind him.

Slave.

The man was the cause of his deprivation of oxygen. He was standing being him, both arms wide apart and his sticky substance between them which he was using to wrap around Kuro's neck.

He was getting chocked to death.

"Sorry about the interruption! But your making my best friend upset and I can't have that! So why don't you just stop breathing and die?" Slave laughed, as he tugged harder with both hands causing the sticky substance to restrict Kuro's breathing even more.

Why was Slave here? He was meant to fighting Juvia! Wait...Where was Juvia?

Kuro's eyes darted around to spot his answer. He managed to catch a small glimpse of a bundle of blue hair. Juvia was on the ground covered in Slave's slimy substance. She withered, twitched and turned as if she was trying to get out. But, it was to no avail. She couldn't escape the substance's gasp. A look of pure terror and helplessness shone of her face as she realized her efforts were going to waste.

Kuro couldn't react to it though. He could barely think. His breath...he needed to breath! Shadow Blue wasn't moving, his master too preoccupied to give it any life to move. Kuro didn't know for sure, but he had a feeling that Gray was still collapsed near the wall. He had bashed against it pretty brutally.

"Looks, like this is the end, Mr Yami." Blue spoke, his left arm lit up with a globe of water to finish Kuro off.

Gajeel gripped the rough material in between his teeth tightly. He tugged hard, making sure to tighten the material in a tight knot. Gajeel let the material escape his grasp as he leaned back to view his handiwork.

Nyx leaned against the wall in front of him in a sitting position. She was breathing a bit heavily and most of the colour had drained from her face. Yet, a smile formed on her weak lips as she looked down at the make-shift bandage on her shoulder.

"I'm not good with this kind of stuff." Gajeel said to her roughly, knowing that the bandage he used from ripping some material from his clothing probably did nothing to help the girl.

"No, its okay! Thanks! Its better than bleeding out on the floor that's for sure! What about you? Your arm? Leg?" Nyx questioned.

"Broken." Gajeel replied with an annoyed grimace on his face.

He glanced down at his limp leg and arm in disdain. The pain had dulled to a constant pounding thud he could ignore, but that didn't mean he could move it at all. It had taken most of his strength to crawl over to Nyx, fling off all the metal covering her and then positioning her against the wall.

"It's okay! When we find Kouta and Wendy things should be fine. They can heal us right up. But considering how we are, I guess I should say when Kouta and Wendy finds us."

Not far from the both of them, Red glanced up from them, still buried underneath tons of metal rubbish.

"You know, I could use some help getting out from all this metal." Red said, with a grin forming on his face.

"Shut the hell up, girly-boy, or I'll smash your head in" Gajeel snapped back.

"Sheesh, okay. I get it. Whatever. Don't get all hyped up just because you beat me! There are a few others in my guild that are a lot stronger than me. I doubt they'd be beaten."

Gajeel and Nyx looked at Red, small interest in their faces. Red had been a fiercely strong opponent. Gajeel would like to go against the kid some time again since he had never faced a person who could control metal like him. But, it also made him think on the other people who were stronger than Red.

Gajeel liked his lips in excitement.

"What about the other members of your guild? Are they fighting as well?" Nyx asked.

Red let out a scoff as he turned away from Nyx looking like he wasn't going to answer the question. Gajeel gritted his teeth in annoyance at the movement.

"Hey! You should answer! I'll gladly still finish you off!" Gajeel warned out loud.

There was a moment of silence.

"All the rest are fighting. The She-devil got beaten though...Her mind must be broken..."

There was a pause as Red thought about that. His mind should have been broken by now too but here he was with his mind still intact. Untouched and unabused. He wondered why. The only reason he could think of was that something must be distracting the Lord from doing the action. But, what? What could possible take up all of his Lord's attention.

Tossing the thoughts aside, Red carried on his sentence,

"Master must be fighting against the S-Class Mages. He will win. Master is strong and I can't imagine him to beaten. The Lord...I do not know what is happening with him. I have not been contacted in the mind in some time by The Lord so I suspect he must be busy with some of your guild members. As for Blue," Another paused as Red let out a huge smirk "Blue is against three members of your guilds. An Ice, Water and Shadow user. My brother will most definitely win that match."

"What makes you so sure of that? The ice idiot is strong and Juvia isn't that bad either. And the same could be said for the Goth Boy from what I have seen of his power." Gajeel asked back.

"Ah, but my brother is extremely powerful. He will win. His power is equivalent to a high-class S-Class mage. There is no way he would be beaten by those mages."

Gajeel eyes widened at that bit of news. Could this man be that strong?

"They'll win." Nyx suddenly spoke up, her voice firm and full of confidence.

Red looked up to Nyx and his eyes widened in surprise as they collided with hers. Nyx's eyes were full of determination and not even a single hint of hesitation present in them.

"They won't," Red countered "It's a fact. Blue will overpower them."

"Their strong." Nyx replied briskly.

"I won't deny that but they won't be strong enough to beat Blue."

There was a moment of silence and Red wondered what was going through his suppose sisters head. Did she really have that much confident in her guild mate? Why on earth would she believe they would win when their was no hope of doing so?

"He would have been a S-Class Mage." Nyx spoke up in a soft voice.

Both Gajeel and Red had mirrored confused look on their face as they stared at Nyx.

"What you talking about?" Gajeel asked, clearly confused by that sentence.

Nyx looked down on her lap, different emotions fluttered across her face. Sadness. Guilt. Hope.

"Kuro...He's strong. No, he would have been so much stronger if it didn't happen. If the betrayal didn't happen he would have no doubt been a S-Class mage in my guild."

Goth Boy? Gajeel thought confusingly. What was Nyx talking about?

"I don't know it in detail. Just from what people told me. I shouldn't know but I guess I had a bit of curiosity for the boy who hates me...In the past, Kuro had someone close to him. Someone who taught him shadow magic, someone who trained him in the arts and made him powerful. But...it was just a trick. Kuro's teacher was using him. His teacher purposefully trained him, cultivated him like he was some sort of plant until Kuro reached the pinnacle of his strength." Nyx explained.

"Why?" Gajeel asked gruffly "Why do that?"

"Kuro's teacher wanted power and nothing else. His teacher was greedy for power. But, he couldn't gain it on his own. So, he used Kuro instead. He gained Kuro's complete trust and loyalty. Kuro loved his teacher but his teacher did not care at all. Everyone he ever said to Kuro was a lie. Then, he betrayed him. Kuro's teacher stole Kuro's magic."

Silence trailed after Nyx said that sentence. They didn't understand what she meant so they waited so she could continue on her own. Nyx took a huge gulp of air, eyes trained on the bandage on her shoulder before she spoke again,

"Kuro's teacher stole half of Kuro's magic. Kuro would have been so much more powerful than he is now. If he had joined our guild like that, he would probably have been a S-Class Mage. But, his teacher managed to take half of his magical power out of him. I don't know the details on how but I just know he did. And, in the process he broke Kuro. Made Kuro physically and mentally weak. It must have been excruciatingly painful for half of his magic to be removed. For half of himself to be taken from him. Kuro finds it hard to trust more than anything. Even now, I know he doesn't trust everyone in our guild. He just can't." Nyx explained.

No one said anything to her. And Nyx was glad of that. Even she couldn't imagine something like that. To love someone, to put everything you are into another person only to be betrayed in the end. She couldn't imagine how it must have felt, how much pain Kuro had gone through.

"So, I know," Nyx started "I know Kuro's strong. I know he'll win. Because he gave his loyalty to our guild. And, that means Kuro will never betray our guild. Kuro will win. Even if he's on the edge of death, he'll come back. He will just need an opening. If the other two, Gray or Juvia can give Kuro a chance to defeat Blue then that's all they need. Kuro will win. I believe in him."

Juvia struggled against the vines around her. She couldn't escape though. One was wrapped around her knees, trapping both legs against each other and another around her hip so she could stick to the floor and another one just below her shoulders, trapping her arms together.

She was fully trapped.

It had happened fast. Multiple sticky balls launched at her and with no way to defend herself and not quick enough to dodge left her in this situation. She was already bonded on the floor when her precious Gray was taken down by Blue.

Those seconds had been horrible to watch. Because...it was her water. It was her water that had helped take Gray down. She had felt disgusted watching the scene with Blue using her water.

And, now she could only watch helplessly at the scene before her. Slave had wound up behind Kuro and right before her eyes he was choking the boy with his sticky substance.

No! No! No! She couldn't just sit here and watch! Juvia knew she had to do something. Anything. She had to stop this or Kuro would really be dead. And, it was then her and Gray next.

She would not let that happen! She would help them. But, how?

Think! Juvia! How do you escape from this? How do you get out of this sticky substance? You must get free now! Or it will be too late!

Juvia quickly thought back to her fight with Slave. There had to be something. Something that the sticky substance did not sick too. It couldn't stick to everything. There had to be a loophole. Something that it would not get stuck too.

Juvia's eyebrows drew together in concentration for a second. Then her eyes opened as a though slipped into her mind.

There was one thing that Slave's sticky substance didn't stick too. Juvia thought back to her first attack against Slave. Her water slicer attack. Back then...Her water didn't stick to the substance! Yes, it had no effect on the blue balls as it just sliced through them but that was the main point. Her water went through them but did not stick to them.

Another thought came into her mind. Back when she first trapped Slave in her water dome. Slave had got out by shooting a rope of sticky substance through her water dome so he could pull himself out much like using it as a fishing pole. But there was a point to that! His sticky substance didn't stick to her water but went right through it.

Which meant there was a possibility that her water, her pure water form, could be a weakness to Slave's sticky substance. A substance that it couldn't stick too.

Juvia eyes travelled back to Kuro who was losing his breath at an alarming rate. She watched in horror as Blue's hand started to glow with a ball of water, her water.

She couldn't doubt herself. There was no time for that. Juvia had to save him.

Quickly, Juvia close her eyes and took a deep, calming breath. Thoughts of water filled her head. Nothing but water. Yes, that's right. Water. Juvia was like water...No, Juvia is water.

Instantly, Juvia form started to change. Parts of her body began to change into the freeform substance of water. In not time, Juvia whole body had transformed into nothing but a shapeless form of water. The water began to move, the sticky substance having no effect. They didn't stick to the water form of Juvia's body.

Instantly, Juvia made her way of her bind. Once far enough away from the sticky substance, her body quickly to shape again, the water forming back into her original.

Juvia could only delve into the feeling of success, the freedom out of the sticky substance for a second before she focused on her enemies.

"Water Slicer!"

Multiple sharp blades sprung out of Juvia's hand. Her shout had also brought the attention of Slave, Blue and Kuro on herself. But, this time the element of surprise was on her side.

Slave had no time to react and he was easily hit by the blades of water and was launched into the air in the process. The sticky substance that had once been used to choke Kuro had disperse into the process letting Kuro to breath at last.

Juvia hadn't been that lucky with Blue though. The man simply raised his right-hand and easily absorbed the water blades. Juvia let out a small frown but she had already expected this act. At least, she had been able to do her main objective which was stop Slave from choking Kuro.

Kuro let out sharp gasps and pants as he struggled to breath in as much oxygen that he had previously been forbidden to consumed. His body slumped slightly forward as it seemed he had tried his best to recover. His mind felt drowsy and in a daze and he was having a hard time thinking.

"My, My this is a surprise. Slave, I thought you have Ms. Lockser out of commission." Blue spoke calmly, but their was a slight agitation on his voice.

Slave stood up slowly, gripping his right arm which had hit harshly when he landed on the floor from the attack.

"I did Blue!"

"Then, how is she still capable of fighting?"

"Um...I...Well..." Slave let out a nervous chuckle "Don't worry! I'll fix that now Blue!"

Slave hand began to glow and in no time a blue ball launched to Juvia, aimed for her shoulder. This time instead of dodging, Juvia quickly focused on the part of her where the blue ball seemed to be aimed for.

Her whole shoulder easily became a puddle of water and the blue ball went right past her water shoulder and hit the wall behind shoulder.

"W-W-WHAT?!" Slave blubbered as he saw the shoulder "H-HOW! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"

Blue's eyes widened at the sight too. This was the first time someone had managed to escape Slave's sticky substance before.

"Juvia figured it out. Your sticky substance will not harm Juvia any longer. Juvia will protect her friends."

"Seems you are useless Slave. No matter. I will take care of Ms. Lockser then."

"I don't think so!" a new voice suddenly shouted.

Blue only had a moment to register who that voice was before a fist slammed brutally on his cheek. Blue flew backwards and skidded across the floor. Blue lifted himself off the floor, a hand cupped his rapidly bruising cheek as he stared at the attacker.

Gray stood before, huffing, an arm outstretched and his palm still tight in a fist. His right side of his face was dripping with blood but apart of that there were no other major wounds at the moment.

"Juvia...Gray!" Kuro gasped out, finally regaining some of his sense from his previous near entanglement with death.

"Didn't I tell you? We won't let anything harm you! So, you can trust us, okay! We will protect you just finish this bastard off now!" Gray yelled out loud firmly, looking back at Kuro with firm eyes.

Kuro let out a small smile and he looks up at Blue who was staring at him with stormy eyes. Shadow Blue suddenly made a movement as it launched towards Blue.

"Your right Blue. This is the end." Kuro said firmly.

Ren's lungs burned with fury. His steps did not falter as he raced down the hall. Footsteps accompanied his own from Keahi and Natsu that ran beside him with just as much energy. No more games. No more hiding. This was it.

The final battle.

They were so close. Very close. Ren spotted the door ahead of them. The only door left in this god forsaken mansion that had yet to be opened. The door that held the Lord. Ren had no doubt in his mind. He could smell it. The stink of a person he wanted to destroy.

His thoughts raced on all the people the Lord had hurt. His whole guild came to mind, Kuro determine gaze as he said leave Blue to him. Zolo taking that hit and saving Jared, the way he fought his battle in pain. A imagine of Jared looking so lost and broken and Sarah with her foreign blank look.

But, the image in his mind, the one that really haunted him was Lucy crying. The way the tears trickled down her face, her lips quivering, her shoulders shaking, her legs collapsed beneath her and the defeated look in her eyes. He never thought he could ever hate an image, a moment so much.

He never wanted to see it again. He never wanted to see Lucy cry again. He was making sure that Lucy will smile again after this. And keep on smiling forever.

They reached the end.

Ren lashed out a leg and heard the deafening thud as his leg hit the door right in the middle. The door bowed down to the might of Ren's leg and quickly snapped open, both sides slamming out to the further part possible.

Ren launched into the room with both Keahi and Natsu flanking his sides.

The room was barren except for the platform, directly opposite Ren and the others. There was no artificial light. The roof was made out of glass and all the light was from the shining room, completely visible and high in the sky.

It was night already. They had been in this place for some time now.

The moonlight effect encased the room in multiple shadows giving it a haunting glow. Ren's eyes closed in on the object on the room, the platform and what was it.

A throne. A golden throne. Long and twisted. And on the throne, sat a lone man.

Ren frowned noticing he couldn't see him properly. The moonlight being the only sort of brightness in the room made it so that half the man was shrouded in shadows. Mostly the top half which included his face. But, Ren could see his body which seemed quite built and well-defined.

"You're the Lord, right?!" Natsu shouted out loud, the first one to speak.

"The Lord. Yes, it is good you address me with he correct title." the man spoke, his voice deep and full of malice.

The same voice Ren had heard in his head multiple times.

"You..." Ren seethed "You're the cause of all this. You hurt everyone. You hurt our guild mates!"

"And?" Lord spoke, no emotion in his voice "Should that matter to me? Should I care for the pitiful lives in your guilds? Such things are useless to me."

"Why you-" Natsu ended that sentence with a low growl full of fury.

Ren could relate to Natsu on this. He felt the same way. All he could feel right now was the imminent need to kill the man on that throne.

"You two, calm down." Keahi suddenly spoke up in a whisper, as he looked at the raging dragon slayers next to him, "Do not lose your cool. You must be in a right mind. Or this will not end."

Ren knew what Keahi was saying was correct but he couldn't care less. He was just so angry. He waned to wipe this man off the face of the earth for how much he hurt his guild.

"Why?" Keahi spoke up, directing his question at Lord "What is the point of all this? Why kill innocent guild members? Why attack our guilds?"

"Hm, appropriate question. But, I shall deliver no answer. Why answer the questions of those beneath me? You all seem to come flying in here with thoughts of beating me but oh how wrong you are. None of you will ever beat me. You cannot even put a simple scratch on me. So, if you are this low, this weak then I see no need to answer your questions." Lord replied.

"Oh yeah," Natsu let out as he took a step forward "I'm all fired up now. I am going to burn you into ashes!"

Suddenly, one of Natsu's hand blazed up in a fiery heat. He rushed forward towards Lord, each of his footsteps echoing loudly in the room. His arm raised high, roaring flames backing them up.

"Fire Dragons Iron-"

Suddenly, Natsu spun around and rushed backwards, launching towards Ren with lightning speed. His arm raised higher, and then their was a sickening thud as Natsu's fist landed on Ren's defenceless cheek brutally.

"Fist!"

A ball of flame clouded most of the view, as Ren suddenly launched backwards at the force of the punch. He let out a yell on the process in pain as his feet left the ground. Ren skidded backwards until he came to a sudden halt, a glaring space between him and Natsu. The flame died down into nothingness as Natsu stared at Ren's body on the floor with large eyes.

Keahi's eyes widened as he stared at Ren who was on the floor. Then, he looked at Natsu, disbelief in his eyes.

"I-I-" Natsu stuttered as he looked down at the fist that just hit Ren.

Ren on the other hand started to lift his body off the ground. A hand pressed delicately on his burnt cheek. His faced contorted in pain, as he removed his hand to showcase his badly burnt cheek. It was a bright red, blisters already starting to form.

"W-What the hell?!" Ren shouted, as he stared at Natsu wondering what the hell happened and why he just got attacked.

"I don't know!" Natsu yelled his eyes on his fist before he suddenly looked up at Ren, confusion written on his face "I didn't mean to hit you! I was going to hit the Lord. I-I don't know what happened."

Suddenly, an echoing, menacing laugh burst through the room. All eyes trailed to the man sitting on the throne. The body shook as the man laughed, his voice taunting all three of them.

"Did I not tell you?" Lord started and he suddenly leant forwards.

A sharp gasp escaped Ren's lips. With the movement of Lord leaning forwards, it meant that half of his face had been revealed and shone in the moonlight. From the nose down, everything could be seen.

Ren noticed that the mans skin seemed to be...mutilated. As if someone set it on fire, no that's not right. Almost as if someone pour acid on his face. The skin was rough, a dark pink discolour with huge splotched of bright white which seemed to be dead skin.

What had caused that? Ren couldn't think of an answer. Why? Why did the skin seem so deformed?

Before Ren could even think more about it, Lord spoke up again,

"You will not be able to touch me. Look at your weak creatures. Minds so open and so unprotected. This will surely be fun for me indeed."

"You...You manipulated my mind." Natsu said, dumbfounded, as he realized what had happened.

The moment he went into an attack his mind was grasped and manipulated so he would attack Ren at the last moment instead.

"Exactly," and Ren watched as the man smiled, his skin stretched in a very unnatural movement "The very best part of mind magic. The ability to make someone to do my bidding. To watch them lose themselves and make them do the unspeakable, actions they would never do in the right mind. Of course, I could take your minds right away but where's the fun in that? I would like to see you destroy each other."

Suddenly, realization drawn in their minds. Ren eyes snapped between Natsu and Keahi to watch the other two do similar actions. His cheek thumped in pain as a proof of what was happening. His hands clenched tightly. His eyes continue to slid between both fire users. This...wasn't good at all. Right now, The Lord wasn't the main problem.

Another demonic laugh echoed through the room. Lord spoke again, his voice shrill with laughter,

"Looks like you finally understand! I am not the enemy right now. You three are each others enemy. Now, I wander whose going to attack next. Will it be the water dragon slayer, the fire dragon slayer or the fire demon.? It's about time to find out..."

And done! Yup, I'm leaving you at that! So, what do you think? Blue vs Kuro and the rest fight is coming to a close. You get a glimpse of Gajeel and Nyx which many of you were worrying about since they did fall through a floor and all. Oh, and Kuro's past! What did you think about that? I know its not in detail but I think it fit in quite nicely. And, that ending! Things are not looking good for those three. (How many of you were surprise when Natsu punched Ren?) Will they gain help? I wonder... :D

Next update will be in two weeks! I'm making sure! It won't be too long. Please review and tell me what you think!

Till next time! See yh!
