Chapter 36: A Familiar Face Returns
With the Allied Forces
Everyone had now recovered thanks to Ichiya's Painkiller Perfume.
"You two held your own better than we did." Gray stated.
"Well, if we did use are Take Over magic we would be dead right now. They aren't called one of the strongest dark guilds for nothing." Naruto replied.
"What kind of Take Over was that you two used?" Hibiki asked.
"Yeah, what is it?" Eve added.
"They felt so dark." Ren added.
"Let's just say those Take Overs are special to me and Ichigo." Naruto said.
Hey, Ichiya it isn't working on Erza!" Ichigo said. Everyone turns to see Erza clenching her arm as purple energy spreads throughout the arm.
"Erza you ok?" Natsu asked.
"I'm no doctor, but it looks like her snake bite is spreading.
"Don't worry, I got this. I know what you need my honey. Alittle Painkiller Perfume, Aroma Increase!" Ichiya said as he released an even more powerful version of his perfume, but it seemed not to be working.
"Erza is it working?" Ichigo asked.
"It seems she's in even more pain now." Natsu said.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Erza screamed in pain.
"Why isn't it working?" Naruto questioned.
"We don't know! Chef's Painkiller Perfume hasn't failed before." Eve answered.
"Erza hang in there." Natsu said.
"What do we do?" Lucy questioned.
"I'm sorry Lucy, but I need to borrow your belt." Ezra says as she goes to grab Lucy's belt, but is stopped by Ichigo. The cloth from Zangetsu then begins to wrap around the part of Erza's arm where the venom hadn't spreaded at and then it starts to constricts. "Thanks Ichigo, but now my I ask you to do something for me?"
"Ok course, what is it?" Ichigo replied.
"I need you to cut off my arm!" Erza replied which caught everyone by surprise.
"You can't be serious!" Ichigo said.
"It's the only way I can continue to fight! So I beg of you Ichigo cut it off!" Erza replied.
"I can't." Ichigo said.
"If you can't do it. Then I'll do it myself!" Lyon declared as he made an ice sword.
"Put down the sword Lyon!" Gray said.
"We can't afford to lose one of our strongest if we're facing such a powerful foes. So if she wishes for her arm to be cut off, then I'll gladly comply." Lyon said as he raised the sword, only to have the tip of Zangetsu to be pointed at his throat.
"If you so much as swing that blade I'll been taking the arm its in!" Ichigo declared with murderous intent.
"Ichigo either you cut my arm off or let Lyon do it. Before the venom spreads throughout my whole body!" Erza said before she suddenly fainted, but Ichigo was able to catch her.
"Erza!" Natsu said.
"This is bad. you guys. If we can't find a way to stop the venom, she'll die!" Eve stated.
"If we only had brought Law with us. I bet he could've removed the venom from her body!" Naruto said to himself.
"We need Wendy!" Carla declared gaining everybody's attention. "This is the time to be bickering amongst ourselves. We need to work up a plan to rescure Wendy and I suppose that tom-cat to."
"Wait, she can help save Erza?" Ichigo questioned.
"Yes, she can. She has the power to cure venom, fevers, relieve pain and heal wounds." Carla stated.
"Does that power have to do with the whole Maiden of the Sky thing?" Lucy questioned.
"Yes, it does. You that little girl is the shy dragon slayer. She's Wendy the Sky Dragon!" Carla said which surprised everyone except Naruto.
"She's a dragon slayer too." Natsu said.
"Wendy is the only person capable of saving your friend! We need her right now unfortunately the Oracion Seis need her too for some unknown reason." Carla said.
"In that case there is only one thing for us to do." Lyon said.
"We are going to have to save Wendy!" Eve said.
"We'll do it for Erza." Gray said.
"And for Happy." Lucy added.
"Ok then lets find her!" Natsu declared with everyone agreeing. Naruto then sat down and started to meditate.
"What's Naruto doing Ichigo?" Jura asked.
"He is going to try sense for Wendy. The reason he is meditating is so he can scan the area." Ichigo answered. "He'll find her in no time."
"Ok, Kurama time to find Wendy!" Naruto said to the fox.
In a cave
The Oracion Seis finally arrived to their secret hideout.
"You know you don't have to be so rough. She's just a little girl you know!" Happy said only for Brain to pick him up by the head.
"Let him go!" Wendy pleaded which Brain gladly complied too by throwing Happy next to her. "You're not to hurt too bad are you Happy?"
"You don't need to worry about me little lady. I'm going to do my best to find a way out of here!" Happy replied.
"That's a bold statement cat, but do you really think the great Oracion Seis would let you go free?" A voice says. Happy and Wendy turn to see a boy in a hooded trench coat enter the cave.
"It's that brat again." Racer said.
"So it's you Gremmy. I thought you said you didn't intend to intervene in our plan." Brain said.
"I did say that, but my higher ups decide at the last minute to send me." Gremmy replied as he walked over to Cobra who was still in pain from the gash he received from Ichigo. Once Gremmy got close Cobra's pet snake prepared to attack the hooded boy. "Hey, Erik call off your snake before I decide I'll have it for lunch!"
"Down Cubellios." Cobra commanded, which Cubellios complied. Gremmy then put his arm on Cobra's shoulder and in an instant Cobra was healed even his clothes were fixed. "What the!"
"Now it's your turn Sawyer." Gremmy says as he walks up to Racer and does the same thing to him. "There you go good as new."
"He just healed him." Wendy thought to herself.
"What did you do?" Racer questioned.
"Oh, I just thought to myself that you were healed and it happened." Gremmy said with a smile. "Sorano you shouldn't wear such a revealing dress. You goods might come popping out."
"You shut up you little brat!" Angel said.
"Richard, are you still obsessed with money?" Gremmy asked.
"Of course I am. Money makes the world go round you know. Oh Yeah!" Hoteye said.
"And I see Macbeth is still as lazy as ever." Gremmy says before he walks over to Wendy. "Now then who are you?"
"My name is Wendy." Wendy replied.
"And I'm Happy. Are you an ally to the Oracion Seis?" Happy asked.
"My name is Gremmy nice to meet you." Gremmy said, but he didn't answer Happy's question. "So Brain why did you kidnap her?"
"She uses what's called Sky Magic. If gives her the power to heal others." Brain answered.
"I can heal people too." Gremmy said.
"Yes, but her power is special. With her magic we shall revive him!" Brain declared.
"Who are you talking about?" Happy questioned.
"Look, if you are asking me to help you. Then forget it, I wouldn't help jerks like you!" Wendy declared.
"Yes, you will, there is no doubt about that. Because once who you find out who it is you'll be more than happy to help!" Brain stated. "Racer bring him to me at once."
"Will do boss, but it's so far it'll take me an hour to get there and back." Racer replied.
"That won't matter." Brain said.
"Hey, that's a smart idea. Now I see the reason they call you Brain. I always thought it was because of your big head." Gremmy said as he munched on a cookie he had.
"You know the only reason I tolerate you is because you brought him to us." Brain said. "Now Cobra, Hoteye, and Angel I want you three to continue the search for Nirvana."
"But why. We should begin the search after he's revived." Angel said.
"I would prefer to be on the side of caution. Midnight and I will remain here." Brain said.
"I'm pretty sure he will not make very good company." Hoteye commented.
"That's why I'm here." Gremmy said.
"What does Nirvana do?" Wendy questioned.
"It's incredibly powerful. It swaps light for darkness!" Brain answered as the rest of the Oracion Seis left.
"I don't understand." Wendy said.
"Me nether it doesn't make any sense." Happy said.
"So I am going to ask this. Do any of you want a cookie?" Gremmy asked everyone in the cave.
"No, thanks." Wendy answered.
"Do you have fish flavored?" Happy asked which Gremmy shakes his head too. "Then no."
"How about you Brain?" Gremmy asked which Brain didn't respond to. "Fine then, I'll ask Macbeth when he wakes up."
With Ichigo and Naruto
Ichigo was currently looking after Erza while Naruto was still meditating. The only two people with them were Lucy and Hibiki.
"It's getting worse." Lucy said.
"Naruto what's taking so long?" Ichigo asked.
"I don't know I can barely sense anyone energy as they get deeper into the forest. Something seems to be causing trouble in my search." Naruto answered. "So stop talking to me and let me continue concentrate."
"While you do that, we'll try and lend everyone else a hand." Hibiki said.
"How are we going to do that?" Lucy questioned as Hibiki activated his Archived.
"I know we all barely consider us a team, but now we are going to start thinking as one. So we could have a better chance beating the Oracion Seis." Hibiki said as he began typing. "So either of you two are not going to join the others?"
"No, I'm staying to protect you guys if the enemy decides tries a sneak attack." Ichigo answered.
"I'm just going to stay with Erza since I don't think I'll be of any help. Since I'm probably the weakest fighter of the group." Lucy answered.
"What does Archive also do besides hold information?" Ichigo asked.
"It lets me keep track of the others and I can make them aware of our position. So when they locate Wendy. They can locate us and save Erza."
"I found something." Naruto said.
"Did you find Wendy?" Lucy asked.
"No, but I may have found where she is being held." Naruto answered as he got to his feet and walks over to Hibiki. "This is the location of that place."
"Thanks, I'll find a way to tell the others." Hibiki said.
"Fine then, since we found the place Naruto and I will go there. So you two take care of Erza." Ichigo which Lucy nodded too. "Ok Naruto ready to go?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Naruto replied. The two Royal Guard mages then took their leave. They make a fair distance away until they were ambushed by an unknown attacker. "What happened?"
"I don't know, but I think we have company!" Ichigo stated as multiple mages appear around them. "Looks like Oracion Seis isn't the only dark guild we have to deal with."
"We don't have time for this let finish them as quickly as possible!" Naruto declared, but at that moment two mages land before them.
"I didn't think we see you two again." Said one of the mages.
"Now we can get our revenge on you two. For what you did five years ago." Said the second one.
"Those voices, it can't be." Naruto said.
"Yes, it's us Mizuki and D. I'm glad you two remeber us." Mizuki said with a smile.
"How are you two here?" Ichigo questioned.
"We broke out and decided to reform CP Elephant. Even though we could break out Spandam. We are still as strong as ever!" D declared.
"We are here to help the Oracion Seis and finding you two is just a bonus!" Mizuki declared.
"Take Over: Weretiger!" "Take Over Magic: Fishman!" Mizuki and D said in unison making them transform.
"Now prepare to die!" Mizuki declared.
"Tsunami Overload Cannon!" D declared as he fired a huge wave of water, but in a quick split second the attack was cut in half and Ichigo had cut D multiple times.
"D!" Mizuki yelled out, before he is slugged in the face knocking him out.
"No way they defeated Mizuki and D!" Said one of the dark mages.
"You two underestimated us." Ichigo said.
"You two actually thought you had a chance. We are stronger than we were five years ago." Naruto said. "Now, who else wants some?" All the other members of CP Elephant began to charge in.
"I'm going to enjoy beating you all to a pulp again." Ichigo said as he swung Zangetsu.
Back at the Oracion Seis hideout
Some time had passed until Racer returned with a big coffin.
"Sorry it took so long. It was so heavy it was hard for me to build up any speed. After that trip I'm starting to doubt my speed." Racer said.
"Let me insure you Racer. There is no one that can match you speed." Brain said.
"Hey, Sawyer want a cookie." Gremmy asked which oddly enough Racer excepted.
"These are not bad. Who made them?" Racer asked.
"I did and thanks for the compliment." Gremmy said.
"Enough of that it's time." Brain said. "So Wendy are you ready magic to resurrect the man inside?"
"I told you, I won't do it and you won't make me!" Wendy replied.
"Yeah, you heard the lady!" Happy added.
"I'm sorry about telling you this, but you have no choice in this matter!" Brain stated as the coffin opened up revealing Jellal Fernandez. "This is Jellal a brilliant mage who once infiltrated the Magic Council! Once he's revived, he'll lead us to Nirvana!"
"It's really him." Wendy said to herself.
"He is currently in a catatonic coma. Thou his unconscious he is far from dead. You Wendy are the only mage capable of reviving him. Isn't that the least you can do after all he has done for you." Brain stated.
"So him and her have history. That's interesting." Gremmy said to himself.
"Don't revive him Wendy. He tried to kill me, Erza and a bunch of other people! He got the Magic Council to fire the Etherion Cannon." Happy said.
"I know I heard about that." Wendy said.
"But I thought Jellal was ancient history!" Happy said.
"He would have been if I didn't fish him out of the ocean and brought him to Brain. In a way you could say I saved his life!" Gremmy said.
"Indeed. Now Wendy this is your opportunity to revive him!" Brain said.
"Don't do it!" Happy pleaded, but he was suddenly trapped in a box made of rocks.
"Happy!" Wendy said.
"Sorry Brain I got to speed this up. I sense your enemies arriving soon." Gremmy said as the rocks begin constricting Happy. "Now Wendy if you don't revive Jellal. The cat loses all his nine lives!"
"Ok, I'll help!" Wendy replied.
"Good." Gremmy says as he releases Happy. "I'm sorry for doing that I'm kind of impatient."
"At least give me time to prepare." Wendy asked.
"Fine you get five minutes." Brain said.
With Ichigo and Naruto
"So Naruto can Kurama sense anything yet?" Ichigo asked as he and Naruto continue to run towards their destination.
"Yes, he says Natsu's group made it to the destination." Naruto replied. "Wait a minute, he can sense Wendy there and there seems to be three of the Oracion Seis there as well. What this, Kurama now says there are two unknown energy signatures with Wendy."
"Then we better hurry up and see who they are!" Ichigo said which Naruto nodded too. It takes the two a while, but they finally made it to their destination. "Looks like we made it. Naruto who is in the area?"
"Gray is currently fighting against one of the Oracion Seis members and Natsu is in that cave over there." Naruto replied.
"Then let's go give Natsu some backup." Ichigo suggested which Naruto agreed to. The two run towards the cave to see Natsu at the entrance before he completely ran in himself. "Natsu we're he..." Ichigo stops noticing Natsu under some rocks, but the thing that caught his attention was the man who had just attacked Brain. "Jellal!"
"I thought I killed him. Well, maybe I'm just bad at killing people lately." Zangetsu said to himself
"Ichigo you know this guy?" Naruto asked, but didn't get an answer.
"What are you doing here Jellal?" Ichigo asked, but did get an answer, only a beam of gold energy which launches him back. Naruto also got the same treatment himself as he shot by a beam of energy. Once Jellal was outside the cave Ichigo jump into the air. "Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo fired a slash of energy at Jellal only to have it blocked by giant stone hand. "What the?" Ichigo turns to see a certain person he met briefly at the Tower of Heaven. "You!"
"You remember me. I never told you my name though. My name is Gremmy Thoumeaux! Nice to meet you again." Gremmy said with a grin. Then the giant stone hand, then grabbed Ichigo and started to crush him. "Sorry, but I can't let you mess with Jellal. He just got revived." At that moment Naruto appeared behind him. "Sneak attack huh. Nice try Whiskers." At that moment another stone hand grabbed Naruto, only to figure out it was a clone. Ichigo on the other hand broke free with the help of Naruto. "Well, good job guys, but I hate to break it to you two I can't have you two interfering right now. So my two friends will deal with you." Two stone golems then appear next to Gremmy. The two golems then charge in and start to attack the two Royal Guard members.
"Well, it looks like we have our hand full." Naruto stated as he dodged the golems fist. While dodging Naruto noticed Natsu and Wendy flying out the cave using Happy and Carla. "Natsu!"
"Hey, it's Naruto and Ichigo. Do you need my help?" Natsu asked stopping midair.
"No, we got this. You make sure Wendy gets to Erza safely!" Ichigo replied as he dodged the golem's attacks.
"Ok, you guys! Good luck!" Natsu said before he and Happy left.
"So, since that's out of the way, what do we do?" Naruto questioned.
"Well, we have to deal with these things before we chase after Jellal. So let make this quick." Ichigo said. Ichigo then cuts off his golems arm off before he chops it horizontally.
"Power Boost!" Naruto declared making a magic seal glow below him. Naruto then punches his golem in its gut shattering it. "That was easy." But that seems to have, jinx it as the golem reforms and grabs Naruto then takes him upwards and out of the area.
"Naruto!" Ichigo says before his golem does them same to him and takes him away from the area.
With Naruto
Naruto was dropped somewhere in the forest by his golem.
"So it separated me from Ichigo. Kurama where is he." Naruto asked.
"He's not that far from here, but you have your own problems right now Kit!" Kurama replied as the golem reformed.
"Ok, then lets do this." Naruto said as he charges at the golem and goes for a kick, but the golem blocks it and punches Naruto who blocks it. "You seem to be tougher than I expected." The golem then goes for another punch which Naruto easily dodges and delivers a punch to its gut, but the golem's body twist to the point where it kicks and punches Naruto with both its arms and legs at the same time. Naruto is sent flying back, making him hit a tree. "I didn't see that coming. "Now Energy Make: Multi Clone!" Naruto makes multiple clones the surround the golem. Some clones go in for an attack only for the golem to defeat them by enlarging its arm and punching them. This gave some clones some time to attack it in the back, but it had no effect and they got a huge backhand. The golem then fires its enlarge arm into the air. Once in the air the golem's arm breaks into rumble that rain down destroying most of the clones, but this gave the real Naruto to get in front of it. "Now take this Energy Make: Rasengan!" Naruto then shoves the blue orb at the golem, only for it to open up its body over Naruto's hand and closes trapping the whisker blond. The golems hand reforms and turns it a blade then goes to stab Naruto. "I got you where I want you. Expand!" The Rasengan then becomes larger making it engulf the golem whole. "Let see you recover from that."
"Good work Kit. Now go find Ichigo!" Kurama said which Naruto agrees to as goes to find Ichigo.
With Ichigo
Ichigo was now in a different area thanks to the golem he was fighting.
"Your going to be a pain with that regeneration." Ichigo said as his golem reformed reformed.
"Hey, King hurry this fight up. So we can find that Jellal guy. I'm itching to kill him again!" Zangetsu said.
"I have no time for your mouth right now Zangetsu!" Ichigo said as he prepared to fight. The golem is the first to make a move as it charges in only to have Ichigo to cut it in half, but easily reforms and punches the orange haired teen. It then goes for another punch only to have it cut to pieces. It then tries a spin kick only to have its legs receive the same fate as its arm. The golem falls onto the ground and starts to reform, but Ichigo was expecting this. "Getsuga Tensho!" The attack destroys most of its body, but enough of it was able to survive so it can reform. It gets up and forms its hands into blades. "So you're arming yourself. Well, that won't help you!" Ichigo charges in and makes the first swing only to get block by the golems blades. The golem's body twist, allowing it to try to attack with its legs that had turned into swords, but Ichigo is able to dodge in time. "Now its, legs are blade too. This is only getting better!" The golem then comes launching in as a top, which Ichigo is able to dodge, but it makes a u-turn and hits Ichigo from behind. It then comes for another attack only for Ichigo to block it, then launches the golem into the air. "Time to increase the power. Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo fires an even stronger version of his attack which finally destroys the golem. "Now to find Jellal."
"When you find him, let me take control. Like last time." Zangetsu suggested.
"Like hell I'm giving you control again!" Ichigo said to the demon. Naruto then appears in front of him. "I take it you dealt with yours."
"Of course I did and I can see you did the same." Naruto replied. "So what do we do?"
"We will find Jellal." Ichigo said.
"Those things took us a fair distance from where we were. So it may take a while for me to track him." Naruto said.
"Ok then can you least tell if Natsu got Wendy to Erza?" Ichigo asked.
"They are on their way, but they will be there soon." Naruto answered. "Wait Kurama says it seems one of the Oracion Seis had been defeated by Gray and.. Lyon."
"That's good to hear." Ichigo said.
Back at the Oracion Seis hideout.
Brain was on the floor in pain.
"Racer was struck down ,that's impossible." Brain said as one of the markings on his body disappeared.
"Oh no Sawyer was my favorite." Gremmy said. "So are you going to send Macbeth?".
"It looks like I may have to." Brain answered. "Wake up Midnight!" Midnight had finally awakened from his slumber. "Find your foes and toss them into your nightmares."
"Yes, father." Midnight said.
"Hey, Macbeth you want a cookie?" Gremmy asked.
"No." Midnight replied.
"Alright, suit yourself." Gremmy said as Midnight left. Gremmy then cracks a smile. "So it seems things are getting interesting and if everything goes smoothly my true objective will be completed with no problem."
Thanks for reading.
