Hi! It's me again with another chapter for this story. Like I said, I would like to focus more on this one for the time being. Have no fear for those who look at my other cringe-worthy stories, I'll still be working on those, but I will be putting more attention on this story since there's a lot I want to get out of the way.

Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Chapter Thirty Eight: Those who block their path Part 1

Mira, Lisanna, Rogue, Daron, Tiron, and Hara were currently fighting there way through the horde of demons blocking their path. After they have split up from the others, they made their way deeper underneath the Magic Council building.

"There's so many of them." Hara spoke to the others as she slammed her fist through a Fel Guard's stomach.

"I know," Daron replied to his sister as the future son of Natsu and Lisanna cleaved his sword through a group of Imps, "But why are they so big in numbers? What are they trying to get here?"

"We're worry about that later," Mira told the two future siblings as she was in her Take Over: Satan Form fending off more Fel Guards and Wrath Guards, "We need to clear the path to get through.

The others simply nodded to the white haired woman's words as they continued to fight way through the demon infested hallways.

Eventually, they managed to arrive in an open space of the underground cavern of the Magic Council Headquarters. They were surprised to see a giant Dreadlord with a magical shield of sorts surrounding him simply pacing the room. However what caught the small group's attention were the Magic Council guards that were still alive. They were giving off some sort of dark energy and their eyes were glowing.

"What happened here?" Rogue questioned as the shadow dragon slayer looked around the large opened area.

Unfortunately, the Dreadlord seemed to have heard him as the giant demon turned to look in their direction. The winged demon simply lifted one of his hands as he pointed at the group. The guards covered in the dark energy charged at the group of heroes.

"What the?!" Lisanna was caught off guard as the corrupted guards began to attack them. Luckily they managed to dodge the assault of the guards.

"Everyone! Don't kill them!" Tiron shouted as he slammed his fist into one of the guard's head. This managed to send the guard to the ground, however the dark energy faded from him, "They are under control of the Dreadlord to maintain his shield! Take them down, but don't get lethal!" The future son of Natsu and Hisui explained to Mira, Lisanna, and Rogue as Hara and Daron already knew this.

Understanding, the Fairy Tail and Sabertooth mages began to knock out the guards. One by one, the dark aura on them faded away as they fell to the ground unconscious. After a couple of minutes, Mira took down the last corrupted guard. The shield surrounding the Dreadlord disappeared. However, the demon didn't seem to care much as he simply let out a demonic laugh.

"How helpless you must feel to watch your world fall apart around you." The Dreadlord, whose name is Balazar, replied to them with a grin as the demon began to walk to the group.

"Lisanna," Mira began to speak, getting her younger sister's attention, "I need you to get the guards to safety. Get them out of there and find Hisui and the others."

"What? I can't just leave you guys here on your own!" Lisanna responded back. She wasn't going to leave them all alone to fight this threat on their own!

"Mother," Daron spoke to her, getting Lisanna to look at her future son, "We need to make sure that any lives that we can save get saved! We can hold the demons off! Now go!" Daron exclaimed at her.

Before Lisanna or anyone else could say anything else, the death knight charged at Balazar who simply laughed once again. The Dreadlord managed to block the sword attack by the mortal-demon hybrid with his wings. The demon proceeded to beat his wings, thus blowing Daron back a little.

"Go Lisanna! Get the guards to safety!" Mira once again told her sister as she charged into the battle as well. This action was followed by Hara, Tiron, and Rogue as they all joined the battle.

Lisanna simply looked at the group before turning into her Animal Soul: Rabbit in order for her to carry the guards without much trouble. Luckily there weren't that many guards for her to carry. As she was about to head out, she turned her head back to where her sister, future son, and the others were fighting Balazar.

"Please stay safe." She quietly spoke as she turned her direction back to the way they came in as she headed out of the area with the still alive guards with her.

'WITH GROUP FIVE'

"Die stupid demons!" Ruby shouted as the future daughter of Natsu and Meredy fired off a fire dragon roar at a group of Fel Guards.

"She's likes to shout violent things doesn't she?" Jellal questioned to Meredy as the blue haired male took down a Wrath Guard.

"I guess so." The pink haired woman answered her guildmate as she fought on. Despite everyone so far, Meredy hasn't gotten used to the whole future children thing. Though if the chance comes, she would like to get to know her future daughter more.

"Guys look!" Sting shouted as she pointed up ahead, "I see an entrance to a cavern of sorts!"

The group looked to where the white dragon slayer was pointing at, and just like the Master of Sabertooth said, there was an entrance to what looked like an underground cavern entrance.

"Why would the Magic Council need an underground cavern underneath their headquarters?" Yukino questioned as she managed to fend off an Imp.

"You remembered what the demon Zeraful said, he mention something about a weapon," Jellal started to explained to them, getting them to look at the blue haired mage, "No doubt that the Magic Council has some kind of device they were hiding underneath their base."

"But what would that be though?" Ruby questioned as she turned her head to the other's direction, all while she was casually slamming her fists into a already dead Wrath Guard. She wasn't bothered by the fel blood that was getting on her from her constantly attack on the demon corpse.

Sting, who was next to the pink haired female, back away from her a few feet away. Not going to lie, he was a bit terrified of how Ruby didn't seem to care about the blood getting on her or the fact she keeps on messing up a demon that was already dead.

"Jellal, you used to be on the Magic Council. So what would the Magic Council have that the Legion would want?" Meredy asked him as she had taken care of the last demon in the hallway.

Jellal stopped to think for a moment to figure out what the demons were after. However it only took a minute for him to remember what the Magic Council has accessed too… and his eyes widen in horror.

"Oh no… we need to get to Zeraful and stop him!" Jellal exclaimed as he started to run into the cavern entrance.

The others were surprised to see the shock on Jellal's face, but they followed him none the less deeper underneath the Magic Council head quarters.

"What wrong? Do you know what they are after?" Sting questioned the blue haired male as they made their way through the cavern.

"Yes, and it's not good. If we don't stop the demons then all magic on Ishgar will be wiped out!" Jellal managed to reply as they kept running through the passage.

This of coursed got everyone else to be alarmed by his words. Magic on Ishgar will be wiped out? What kind of weapon did the Magic Council have to do something like that? Ruby tried to think where she heard something like that before, but then remembered her parents telling her and her brothers and sisters about a device that they managed to stop from wiping out magic from the continent. The future daughter of Natsu and Meredy then knew what the demons planned to do as her eyes widened. She picked up the pace, running past the others as they continued their way through the underground cavern.

To Ruby, the demons were planning to do something with the device. This is the Legion they are facing after all; no doubt they might find a way to use the device for a different purpose than wiping out magic from the land.

In a few minutes, they managed to arrive in a large opening in the cavern. The large room was built with pillars and a solid floor, which showed that the Magic Council were working on the room to make it less… well less rocky.

"Well, well, well… look who has finally arrived," A demonic, but feminine voice was heard by them as they all saw a female Eredar with red skin with fel cracks all over her body, though she was wearing armor that covered most of it, standing on the other end of the room. With her were a large amount of demons waiting for the command to attack the group, "Look at you all now, standing in defiant against us. But no matter… you are no match for our immortal army."

"And who are you supposed to me?" Sting questioned as he and the others got into a defensive stance.

"Who am I? I'm the one who's going to crush you like the insects you are. Minions attack!" The female Eredar, whose name is Cuzla, commanded the demons with her as they all charged at the group.

"You're the one who's going to get crush like a bug!" Ruby shouted as she entered her Dragon Force mode, with Sting doing the same.

The group then charged at the demons as Cuzla entered the fray herself.

'WITH ZERAFUL'

"Ah… there we go. The preparations have been made." Inquisitor Zeraful spoke in delight as he was over a magic panel putting in the commands for the weapon before him.

Currently the Inquisitor demon was working on a magic panel that seemed to be activating the weapon before him. The underground area they were in was massive enough to hold an entire arena like the one used for the Grand Magic Games. The reason for the size of the space was due to the massive device in front of the Inquisitor a couple of yards away.

The massive device looked like a giant face sticking out of the ground. This was one of the Magic Council's greatest magic weapons. Face. However if looked closely, it was clear that the device was corrupted by fel energy if the dark green markings all over it was any indication. Even the face on the device changed from a passive look to a horrified one.

"The adjustments have been made. Soon all life on this pitiful continent will be wiped out." Zeraful then chuckled by the irony of it all. One of the mortal's own weapons will be used against them. It's a shame in the future timeline the royal brats of E.N.D came from the weapon didn't exist anymore, otherwise it would have made their attempted of wiping out the planet much easier. No matter.

"Zeraful," A Fel Lord next to him began to speak, getting the Inquisitor demon to look at the other demon, "It appears that a small group of mortals have broke in from another way."

"Really?" Zeraful questioned. The demon then turned to the magic panel in front of him against and type in something.

Next to him a magic screen appeared to show the Magic Council cameras all over the headquarters, both above ground and underground. In one of the cameras, two certain sky dragon and god slayers, along with a certain fire mage was seen heading their way.

"Ah… I remember those three. Wendy. Chelia. Romeo. It appears they too decided to foolishly head our way." Zeraful spoke, but he didn't seem too bothered by the fact more fools are on their way to stop them. However, an idea came to the Inquisitor as he smirk. The demon turned his direction to the Fel Lord, "Tell all the forces in their section to clear the way for them. And send them to slow down E.N.D and those with him."

"May I ask why you're letting these young mages through?" The Fel Lord questioned. Why let them through when they should be slain?

"Out of all the mortals here, those three are the weakest of them all. There aren't too much of a threat to us." Zeraful explained to the Fel Lord, who seemed to understand.

The Inquisitor demon then gave a sadistic grin, to which the Fel Lord also grinned the same way as Zerfaul spoke again.

"I will personally make an example to the mortals out of these brats myself."

There you all go. Was that good? Was that bad? Let me know.

See you all next time, whenever that will be.
