Chapter 7 Fairies vs Devils

"Welcome, Natsu-kun," Orochimaru smirked.

"So you're Orochimaru," Natsu said.

"I am, I'm happy you're here," Orochimaru said.

"Give me power," Natsu demanded.

Orochimaru smirked "My, my, straight to the point, very well,"

Orochimaru stood up and walked towards Natsu "To fully realize the potential of your curse mark, you need to do one thing first,"

"And what's that," Natsu asked.

Orochimaru smirked "You need to die,"

"Eh," Natsu responded.

"Only temporary of course, you need to experience the feeling of death," Orochimaru told him, he then took out a bottle of pills "To do that you need these,"

"Pills?" Natsu said.

"Mind Awakening Pills, your curse mark is currently at the first stage, these pills will forcibly stimulate the effects of the second stage," Orochimaru explained."However, if you go into the second stage, the Curse Mark's erosion will accelerate and you will die, so in order to control the second stage, your body needs to get accustomed to it, over the course of several hours,"

Natsu's eyes narrowed.

Orochimaru smirked "and in doing that you will gain more power that surpasses that of the Wizard Saints, but once awaken you can't last more than few minutes and you will certainly die,"

"So I need to die, and what happens after that," Natsu questioned.

Orochimaru smiled "You don't need to worry, after you take the pill I will perform a sealing jutsu that will suppress the side effect," he handed Natsu the pills. "It will ease you to a state of half-death,"

Natsu glared "And I am supposed to trust you,"

"You don't have to, and yet you are here, you know you need to do what's necessary to kill your brother," Orochimaru told him.

Natsu thought back to his brother and his eyes narrowed "I can't die yet, not until I kill him,"

"And before you take the pills, I must ask, are you not worried about your friends, my own comrades are possibly taking care of them as we speak," Orochimaru asked.

Natsu thought back to everyone in the guild, but his eyes narrowed "I don't care what happens to them. All I want is power,"

Natsu then took a pill and swallowed and Orochimaru smirked, Natsu then felt a pain in his chest. The dragon slayer fell to his knees clutching his chest in pain.

Orochimaru then took out a circular casket and put Natsu in it, and he started to form hand signs and a black fog appeared.

NINJA ART BLACK FOG

Orochimaru performed the sealing on the casket sealing it, he then took out four paper seals and placed it on the casket.

"He really is quite like you, Sasuke-Kun,"

"Now Natsu-Kun, I look forward to your awakening,"

Hades was back in his throne room sipping a glass of wine. "Makarov, you've raised fine children, one has fallen into darkness while the others will meet their end at the hands of my finest soldiers,"

…

Erza kicked Zancrow into a tree and charged at him, the god slayer smirked and dodged the attacks.

Zancrow cackled "Seriously, what can a loser like you do against me,"

"Come on and find out," Erza glared.

Zancrow snickered and ignited his arms in black flames.

FIRE GOD'S KAGUTSUCHI

Zancrow fired a giant black fireball at Erza, the knight however quickly used her Sea Empress sword to slash away the attack.

"No matter what kind of flames you use, it's useless against Water magic," Erza declared.

"Is that so," Zancrow smirked and engulfed his fist in flames. He then charges at Erza and the two begin to clash.

"He fights just like Natsu, it's to be expected if they use similar magic," Erza thought as she blocked Zancrow's attacks.

"Are you really just defending," Zancrow cackled "What happened, I thought you were going to beat me,"

"Bastard," Erza growled.

"Haha, I still find it hard to believe losers like you beat those losers of Oracion Seis, they really are pathetic," Zancrow laughed. "Seriously, your Master barely held his own against Master Hades,"

Erza's eyes widen "What,"

Zancrow cackled "You heard me, your pathetic old master was no match for Master Hades, I saw he was so weak,"

"Lies, Master would never lose," Erza shouted. "Stop it with the nonsense,"

Zancrow smirked "That's the truth, that old man is probably dead,"

Erza glared and charged at him "BASTARD!"

Zancrow then took a deep breath.

FIRE GOD BELLOW

Zancrow unleashed his breath attack, hitting Erza directly.

"AAAAAHHH!" Erza screamed as she was sent flying.

Zancrow cackled "Oops looks like I sent her pretty far, guess this hunt will be longer than I thought,"

…

"Wendy, are you okay," Carla helped the smaller dragon slayer up.

Wendy nodded "Yes, what happened,"

"That guy from Grimoire attacked us," Lilly told her.

"You weren't severely injured but you should rest," Mest said.

"Mest-san," Wendy said surprised.

"So what should we do," Carla asked.

"We should go find the others and make a plan," Lilly suggested and Wendy and Carla nodded.

Mest's eyes widen "Are you crazy, just come with me and we can get off this island,"

The three shook their heads.

"No, you can go to the council, just tell them to hold off, this is a guild problem," Lilly told him.

Wendy nodded "And we won't abandon our friends," and Carla nodded.

The three then left Mest all alone "Damn this guild,"

As Wendy and the two Exceeds were heading back to the base camp, Wendy stumbled upon something.

"What is it, Wendy," Carla asked.

Wendy looked down a saw a black scarf at her feet "A scarf, and it smells like Natsu-niisan's,"

"Eh, isn't his white," Carla said.

"Yes, but this scent is definitely his, and I can feel a dark magic coming from it," Wendy said. "I better get rid of it," Wendy quickly removed the dark magic from his scarf and it returned to its pure white color.

"So if that is Natsu's scarf then he must be near," Pantherlilly said.

"Lets go look for him," Wendy said and the Exceeds nodded.

…

"Hmm, so that was the extent of She-Devil Mirajane," Azuma signed looking over the unconscious bodies of Mira and Lisanna. "Never thought she sacrificed herself to save her sister,"

"Now I must return to my mission," Azuma walked away from the base camp.

…

"Damn it, no matter what we do we can't hit him," Gray was kicked by Caprico.

"And his magic it's strange, something feels off about him," Cana grunted.

"And it feels like," Lucy said.

"A spirit," Loke finished.

"A spirit," the group's eyes widened.

"So that's why he feels so strange," Gray's eyes narrowed.

"Even if you know that, you all still have no chance against me," Caprico said.

"Big talk from a goat-man," Cana shouted.

"But it is the truth, against Grimoire Heart you Fairies don't stand a chance," Caprico told them.

"Just what in the hell are you here for anyway," Lucy yelled.

…

"GAH" Elfman and Evergreen screamed as they were attacked by a giant beast.

"What is this monster," Elfman shouted.

"You're one to talk," Evergreen shouted.

Rustyrose smirked "This is my sacred guardian, Thunderclap Belcusas,"

Belcusas then continued to attack Elfman and Ever knocking them down. Ever then stood back up.

FAIRY MACHINE GUN LEPRECHAUN

Ever's attack however did nothing to the beast who was unfazed by the attack. Elfman then charged at Belcusas activating his beast soul\, but the beast man's attacks failed as well.

"Damn it what do we do," Ever said.

"Why don't you turn him to stone," Elfman shouted.

"That only works on humans you oaf," Ever yelled.

"No I mean to do it on the guy controlling the monster," Elfman told her.

"I can't he's wearing glasses you idiot," Ever shouted.

Rusty signed "Ah, A lover's quarrel,"

"WE'RE NOT LOVERS!" they shouted in unison.

Rusty signed again and Belcusas smacked them away.

"Damn it," Elfman shouted "What kind of magic is this,"

"This isn't normal summoning magic like Lucy's either, just what the hell is he," Evergreen grunted.

Rusty smirked "Even if I explain it, you idiots still wouldn't get it,"

"What," Elfman blinked.

"It's the magic that has strayed too close to the Abyss of the magical path, thanks to that this magic has a strong side effect," Rusty said. "What a castroyptic destiny I have,, however that tragedy will end once we reach Zeref,"

Elfman and Evergreen's eyes widen in shock. "Zeref."

"The immortal Black Wizard," Elfman said.

"The great world of magic, The world where the true form of 'magic' chaos and darkness dominate. And those without magic will perish and even if they survive it will be hell," Rusty continued.

"ISN'T IT AMAZING! A WORLD WHERE ONLY MAGES EXIST! THE TRASH WITHOUT MAGIC WILL DIE! I'VE WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT FOR SO LONG!"

"That's insane," Elfman said.

"How is something like that possible, " Evergreen shiver.

…

"And the True Magic world will be complete," Meredy told Juvia, Grimrorie's plan.

"That's insane, you plan to kill those who don't have magic," Juvia shouted.

"All is Master Hades' and Ultear's wish, and I will fulfill it," Meredy said and she created several energy blades and threw them at Juvia.

Juvia defensively turned her body to water but.

"GAH!" Juvia screamed as she was knocked by Meredy's blades.

"How is she able to hurt me," Juvia said.

"My Magunity blades attack your senses, you will feel pain no matter what and I will complete my mission," Meredy declared.

…

Erza breathed heavily, she took the full force of Zancrow's breath attack, she was currently wandering alone in the forest.

"Damn it, he got me good," Erza said as she walked through the forest.

It was then she walked into an open field, her eyes widened in shock. There she saw Makarov lying in a crater.

"Master," Erza cried, running up to the old man.

"Erza," Makarov groaned weakly.

"Are you okay," Erza asked.

Makarov grabbed Erza's arm "Take everyone and leave the island,"

"What," Erza' eyes widen "We can't just leave, this sacred ground for our guild,"

"Just listen to me for once and leave, these are enemies we can not defeat," Makarov shouted.

"Don't say things like that Master, we can win," Erza told him.

"There will always be a time when running is the only option," Makarov said.

"Hey Fairy Bitch there you are," Zancrow walked in. "Oh, Makarov is here too, totally thought Master Hades killed you, well this makes it more fun for me,"

Erza glared "Bastard,"

Makarov's eyes widen seeing Erza was shaking "is she afraid, no"

Erza then took a deep breath and requipped two swords and glared at Zancrow.

"Oh what's with that look, Fairy, you scared," Zancrow mocked.

"This is fear, yes, but I'm not afraid of you," Erza glared her magic power rising "what I fear is what I'm going to do to your master for hurting ours,"

Zancrow glared "You think you can beat Master Hades, that's so funny I'm not laughing," his body engulfed in black flames.

Erza then charged at the God slayer slashing at him with her blades, and Zancrow blocked them with his fire engulfed fist. Erza spun kicked the slayer away and Zancrow then created a giant black flame scythe and slung at Erza. Luckily she jumped out of the way in time only cutting the trees behind her.

Erza then requipped into her Heaven's Wheel armor.

HEAVEN'S WHEEL CIRCLE SWORD

The swords hit Zancrow directly but he was unfazed by the attack and just cackled "Is that really all you got," Zancrow then blasted him directly at Erza sending her in the air.

"AAAH!" Erza screamed.

Zancrow cackled even more "God Flames love to devour wizards," it was then both his engulfed in large black flames both taking shape as one half of a jaw. Zancrow then charged at Erza.

FLAME GOD'S LAST SUPPER

Zancrow clapped both his hands together encasing Erza in the flames.

"AAAH!" Erza screamed.

"ERZA!" Makarov shouted.

"Once you're trapped in here you're finished," Zancrow smirked sadistically "the only thing leaving will be your ashes,"

"Damn it," Erza shouted. "I can't move,"

"Hehe, no matter what you do you're dead," Zancrow cackled. It was then suddenly Zancrow was grabbed by a giant hand "What the,"

"MASTER!" Erza cried.

"Just trying that girl more in front of me," Makarov growled "I will crush you,"

Zancrow laughed "So you still have some strength left huh old man," it was then Zancrow engulfed in his whole body in flames "Come on if you don't let go you'll lose your arm,"

Makarov however despite the pain strengthens his Grip on Zancrow.

"What the, he's squeezing me even tighter," Zancrow shouted.

"I am not letting go," Makarov shouted.

"Stop it, Master," Erza cried. "Please let go,"

"Don't underestimate a family's power," Makarov declared, tightening the grip on Zancrow.

Hearing those words shocked Erza, she felt his determination to save her. It was then Erza began to increase her power hoping it would be enough to free her.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Erza shouted from the top of her lungs.

Zancrow cackled seeing it "Haha, Titiana, Makarov or me, I wonder which one will die first,"

Despite trying to release all her power Erza was still unable to break free of the flames, it was then her magic power vanished "No master," she thought as she began to slowly lose consciousness.

"Erza's magic power is gone," Makarov shook.

"HAHA! It seems Titiana is the first to bite the dust," Zancrow cackled.

"Hmm, I can not have you die yet. I will give you a portion of my power," a deep voice echoed in Erza's mind.

"Who is that," Erza thought after hearing it, in her mind she saw something. It was some kind of red energy speaking to her. The energy then swirled around taking the form of a fox head.

"Use this power and vanquish the foe," the voice declared.

It was then suddenly both Makarov and Zancrow felt a great power coming from inside the flames where Erza was. The flames burst open shocking both Zancrow and Makarov, their standing was Erza. Not only that her body was being surrounded by a red-orange energy.

"What the hell is this power," Zancrow said.

"I've never seen this from Erza before, what is it," Makarov shook a little.

Back on the airship, Orochimaru looked out the window, and he smirked "it seems the Jinchuriki is finally tapping into her power,"

"What the hell is this, how are you alive," Zancrow shouted.

"Erza, how," Makarov shook.

Erza looked at herself, she saw the red-orange energy surrounding her body "I don't know how I survived myself, but I feel stronger now,"

"Her magic power emptied, and yet a new power awakened in her," Makarov thought letting go of Zancrow.

"Zancrow, I'm going to finish you," Erza declared.

Zancrow glared "So you have a new power now, that doesn't mean you can…"

Zancrow didn't get to finish his sentence as Erza appeared in front of him at lighting speed.

"What the" Zancrow shouted.

"I refuse to die by your hands," Erza then punched Zancrow full force in the face, sending the God slayer flying in the air. It was then unknown to her, Erza created a sphere of energy in her hand and she jumped up and hit Zancrow with the sphere.

BOOM

Zancrow screamed and was sent flying away to another part of the island, no longer in sight of Erza.

"She did it, you truly are amazing Erza," Makarov smiled softly.

Erza stood triumphant in victory and the energy around her vanished. "Master, we can't give up not against people like them,"

It was then Erza collapsed to the ground unconscious.

…

Orochimaru smirked "Zancrow-Kun lost, how unexpected,"

Hades scoffed "One of my strongest has fallen, what pity,"

"You don't seem that upset, Hades-san," Orochimaru said.

"Hmm, there are 6 more of them do not worry over trivial things, besides I believe you sent your subordinates out already," Hades asked.

Orochimaru smirked "Yes, the Neo Sound 4 has been deployed, it's a shame though there not as strong as the originals, they are measly clones of them, but they'll get the job done,"

"And your guest," Hades asked.

"He'll be ready soon, give him a few more hours," Orochimaru said.

"Having him on our will be a great benefit, having lord Zeref's brother on our side," Hades sipped his drink.

"Yes, it's a shame though that those brothers don't get along," Orochimaru signed.

…

Zeref looked behind him and his eyes narrowed seeing the person approaching him.

"Who are you." Zeref said.

It was then Ultear emerged from the woods.

"You're really him," Ultear cried happily.

"Zeref-sama,"
