On with the story
Natsu and Gray continued their approach to Fairy Tail as time was closing in for the end of the war
"hey Natsu, that light…" Gray said as he looks to the battlefield where he last saw the giant light "that was Gramps, right?"
Natsu didn't replied as he just keeps on walking towards the guild
"my my, to think that the first one to reach to the guild would be you" a feminine voice spoke as Natsu and Gray saw Irene in front of them
"another one of the 12!" Gray said as he readied his ice magic
Natsu just stared at Irene who did the same
He took a step forward before another as he now keeps walking towards Irene
"hey Natsu!" Gray looks to his friend as Natsu went pass Irene
"I still can't defeat you, huh?" Irene said with a smile "very well"
"let's go, Gray" Natsu said to the ice mage who quickly followed by
"hey, you sure it's ok to not defeat her? She's a member of the 12" Gray said to Natsu
"we're not her opponents" Natsu told to Gray "she is"
"she?" Gray said as Irene stood in her spot
Ultear was running straight to the sound of the battle as she had to reach to Natsu and stopped him
"I have to find him! I have to find him!" Ultear said as she keeps running with tears pouring down her eyes
She reached to the battlefield where everyone was fighting against the remaining soldiers of Alvarez
"hey it's Ultear!" Max who was nearby shouted out as they saw Ultear
"Mama!" Aya cried out as she ran to her mother
"where's Natsu!?" Ultear exclaimed
"heading to the guild! With Gray and the others!" Nab replied as he knocks the heads of two soldiers together
Ultear nodded before whistling in a high pitch "Shina! Come here!"
She called out to the mother wolf as Shina came running towards Ultear
"get on her, Aya" Ultear carried up Aya and onto Shina's back before she got on as well
"I need to get to Natsu!" Ultear exclaimed as Shina started running towards the hill where Fairy Tail was "good luck everyone!"
"you got it!" Macao exclaimed as he and Wakaba did a combo attack that sends some soldiers flying away
Erza and Wendy who met up with Lucy and the others were on their way to the guild as to find Natsu and Gray
"they went this way" Wendy said as she had smelled the scent coming from Natsu
"we have to find them, Porlyusica-san said that something bad is happening to Natsu" Lucy said with worry
"we'll find them" Erza said while still grieving a bit for the lost of Makarov
they reach the top of cliff where they are face to face with Irene
"So…here you are. It's been far, far too long, Erza…" Irene said with a smile
"An acquaintance…?" Lucy asked Erza
"No clue." Erza admitted. "Who are you?"
"She…kinda resembles Erza-san…?!" Wendy thought with a confused face
Irene's lips curved, giving one very simple response. "I am you, and you are me."
Jellal, and Crime Sorciere were up against the King of Magic himself and it was a losing battle.
"What's going on here?!" Jellal questioned while staring up at this monster before him. His magic power was on a completely different level than that of Neinhart's "Every time we attack him, we just keep losing ground!"
"Be that as it may…I can still hear what you're going to do next!" Cobra lunged at August, preparing to blindside him. But when Cobra got close, August turned to him.
"You're not the only one who can hear the thoughts of others…" August's voice spoke in Cobra's mind and in result created an opening for August to strike back
"How about a dose of super speed then!?" Racer shot forward, sprinting across the ground at high speeds, but the moment he got close, August merely stepped to the side, slamming his staff into Racer's back to send him flying. "so slow…"
"Spiral Pain!" Midnight swiped his hand, releasing his reflector magic in a piercing spiral towards August.
It did succeed in wrapping around August, but the King of Magic only took a second glance at it. "Your magic is a peculiar one…" He then twisted his body around, amplifying the attack tenfold before shooting it back at everyone, causing them to release a scream of pain. "But I've already mastered all of its nuances."
"gaaaaaahh!" Midnight, Racer, Cobra, and Jellal were sent blasting away by a far more powerful vortex of magic as August barely broke a sweat
"is this….the end?" Jellal thought as he tried to fight back
"Look at this…" Lector pointed to all the enemies who were downed. "All the enemies in front of us were suddenly beaten in one fell swoop!"
"Fro thinks so too!" Fro exclaimed.
"I haven't a clue whose magic that was…but it certainly helped out, don't you think, Sister?" Yukino said while glancing around.
"like I said, I am not your sister!" Sorano told Yukino
"I must say, that was quite the gaudy spell…" a voice came from atop the mountain nearby. The two sisters glanced up, only to be met with divine radiance. "Thanks to that, our faces have been considerably diminished. Quite troublesome indeed. And so it falls upon me to return the favor, if only a bit. I simply wouldn't be able to face my father otherwise."
Larcade Dragist appeared as he seems to be in a meditation pose
"that's god like, yes!" Lector said
"Fro thinks so too!" Frosch agreed
"Oh?" Sorano frowned at first before facing Larcade with a confident smirk. "I don't know who this man thinks he is, but if he believes he can take on the two of us, he's got another thing coming!"
"I'm here too y'know…in case you forgot." Lector pointed out.
"And Fro too!"
Larcade Dragist smiled down at the two women before him, taking their words into consideration.
"I said I'd be returning the favor, did I not? That is to say…I shall 'take on' all those who dared to oppose us."
The man brought his hands together, a divine white light forming within his hands. He then spread his arms apart, allowing this light to wash over the entirety of the battlefield.
"So bri-" Sorano gasped.
"Light!?" Yukino questioned.
"Let their pure, white souls ascend to the freedom of heaven…" Larcade said.
Suddenly, Sorano's body began to heat up. She wasn't sure what was happening, but she felt nothing but euphoria shooting through her body! "Ah~" The woman began to moan, unable to contain or fight against the pleasure that was invading her.
"Sister!? Sister, please hold on!" Yukino pleaded.
"Mmmmn…this…? My body is…?"
Minerva felt the high sensation of pleasure running through her as this shot of euphoria made the mage fell to her knees
"Princess!" Rogue went to her as he was about to touch her
"DO NOT TOUCH ME!" Minerva screamed. "you musn't.."
"Just…just what is going on!?" Rogue questioned and then he felt it. Pleasure burned his body and he suddenly collapsed. "This is…not good…!"
The main section of the battlefield is where Larcade's magic held the most prominent effect. Numerous people were washed in the light of pleasure. "Dad…!? What's going on!?" Romeo asked while shaking Macao.
"Mama? Papa?!" Asuka looked between Alzack and Bisca, who were also downed from this wave of pleasure.
"Laxus…!" Mavis rushed over to Laxus, who was also afflicted by this. "What is the meaning of all this!? What sort of magic is it? Only the adults are falling one after another…"
She then glanced at Warren, who had no clue what was going on. "No…that's not it! What exactly is this magic!?"
And suddenly, Mavis felt it as well. A white heat coursing through her body that made her cry out in pleasure. "My body…feels so hot…" The First Master fell to her knees, panting heavily. "This can't be…I…I cannot resist it…"
"OOOOOOOOOH!" Gildarts just dropped like a rock as he bawled on the ground while holding his face
"Gildarts! What's gotten into you all of a sudden!? Snap out of it!" Cana went to her father only to see him having a satisfied face that looked gross
Cana had a vein grew on her forehead before she immediately punched him in the face. "THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF EXPRESSION I WANT TO SEE FROM YOU WHEN WE'RE NECK DEEP IN WAR! YOU'RE GROSSING ME OUT!"
Gray fell to his knees as he was holding his sides
"what's going….on!" Gray's face was blushing red as he tried to stay sane
Natsu looks to Gray than to the battlefield
He stared for a moment before he left Gray
"Nat..su!" Gray reached out his hand to the man but the amount of pleasure running through him was making his mind go haywire
"Larcade…using such magic makes for a dull battle…" August spoke looking to the direction of where Larcade was
Erza stood in front of Irene as the Scarlet Despair started back at the scarlet knight
"I am Irene Belserion, a member of the Spriggan 12" Irene introduced herself with a smile,
"another one of the 12" Charla said
"looks like we have to fight her as well" Lucy said while reaching for her keys
"I heard from the wind that all of you are looking for Demon King Dragist, correct?" Irene said
"and what is it to you?" Erza said in reply
"he and his other friend went to your guild already" Irene said
"Natsu and Gray are heading for Zeref?" Lucy said
"yes, I have a debt to Dragist so I let him and his friend pass but for the rest of you" Irene said as her staff glowed "I won't be giving any passing"
Erza summoned a sword as she readied it to her side
"Kuku…" Irene chuckles before her body felt really hot. Unlike the others, she wasn't collapsing on the spot. But it was an annoyance to be sure. "Mmmf…this must be…Larcade."
"I don't know what is going on but" Erza said as she summoned a sword "Lucy! Wendy! Charla! Go find Natsu and Gray! I'll handle her!"
"We're on it!" Lucy replied
"be careful! Erza!" Charla exclaimed
"Haaa!" Erza readied her sword as she swings it at Irene
"Kuh…!" Irene moved her scepter forward, making use of air enchantment just as she did against Acnologia. The sphere appeared right in front of Erza, and just when she had no defense for it, it dispersed into nothing.
Wendy stood in front of Erza with her arms spread out. "I'll lend you a hand, Erza-san!"
"Wendy!" Erza exclaimed in surprise
"Enchantment…?!" Irene said "So…Larcade's magic only works on a select few of you…"
"You little brats…!"
Things weren't great for Zeref either. Larcade's magic was affecting even him. It got to the point where he had to make an executive decision. "Larcade, cease this at once. Our allies are suffering harm from your magic as well…"
"Oh my…please pardon my impetuous actions." Larcade then disabled the spell he put into play, thus removing the pleasure from the battlefield.
"Just what was that!?" Lector asked as everyone crowded around Sorano. She reached the peak of pleasure a while ago and ended up passing out because of it.
"Why was Sister the only one affected?" Yukino needed to know. Sorano was unharmed, "Sister, please get a hold of yourself…!"
"My magic is 'pleasure'." Larcade explained while connecting his right thumb and index finger together. "It is impossible for those who have already tasted the forbidden fruit of pleasure to escape from my magic. I wonder…are you aware of what happens to humans who are granted pleasure over and over and over…?"
"Open, gate of the…!" Yukino was about to summon Pisces into battle but was stopped
"It's simple, really. They die." As soon as Larcade said this, tendrils of pleasure magic coiled around Yukino's body before she could even finish her incantation. "Knowledge is to ignorance as black is to white. May you come to know both pleasure and agony."
"AH!" Yukino cried out. She was completely restrained as the sensation of euphoria coursed through her entire body. She tried to fight it, but it was extremely difficult to do so and her voice made this clear.
"What's happening! This feels bad…!" Lector said before it felt good for him "Actually, on second thought, it feels really good!"
"Fro too!" Frosch hummed, not even trying to fight it.
This foreign sensation of pleasure was driving Yukino mad! Her body couldn't fight against this and her voice just wouldn't stop. "Ahhhhhhh~!" All she could do was let out moans of pleasure as the tendrils tightened their hold around her, intensifying what she felt with each passing second. "I have to…escape…" She had to slip out of this somehow but…her mind was drawing a blank. If this kept up she'd…
Suddenly, the tendrils were severed by an outside force, freeing the trio who was trapped within the iron grip of pleasure. Larcade and Yukino were both caught off guard by this sudden interruption.
"White? Light? Granting pleasure?" Kagura slid her blade into its sheath, staring at the enemy before her. "It's quite hard to fathom that you are a comrade of the Black Wizard."
"Kagura-sama!" Yukino exclaimed in relief to see the mermaid swordswoman
"I am much more than his comrade…Zeref is my father." Larcade stated.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
