[Azazel POV]

"Ah, Serafall, nice to have you here. How may I assist you on this fine day?" I ask with a charming smile as Serafall huffs at me.

"You know why I'm here. I've been skirting around the topic for a while now but it's time for you to answer for your crimes, Azazel!" Serafall pointed at me dramatically as my eyes widened.

"What? I have done nothing to get this kind of treatment. You have no proof." I reply while crossing my arms as Serafall narrows her eyes.

"Oh yeah? What about the screen showing a LUCIFER with the Divine Dividing?" Serafall asks as she crosses her arms, distracting me momentarily.

"W-well… What's wrong with Vali-chan? He's just doing his own thing." I ask while scratching my head in confusion.

"What's wrong? You had a descendant of Lucifer in your ranks this entire time and you didn't care to, I don't know… WARN US?" Serafall lunged at me as she picked me up and began shaking me back and forth as I felt like throwing up.

"What am I supposed to say? 'Oh yeah, I know we're trying to achieve peace right now but I have a Lucifer descendent with me. Also, he's the White Dragon Emperor. Thought you'd want to know! Bye Bye~', that sound good to you?" I ask as I make her let go of me and scoff with a smirk.

"W-well… That's kinda fair but… You could've said SOMETHING? Like a small warning that you may or may not have a particularly troublesome devil in your ranks!" Serafall counters as she falters for a second.

"Myeh, maybe. Anyways, let's let bygones be bygones or whatever the saying is. Wanna drink something?" I offer as I shrug lazily.

"I can't. I'm here to make sure that you guys aren't working with the old satan faction and then I have a meeting with the other 3 satans after this." She huffs tiredly as she glares at me.

"I'm guessing you haven't found anything about the screen, have you?" I ask with curiosity.

"Since you're asking that question, that means you haven't found anything either." Serafall groans as I smirk at her misery.

"Nope! No clue where Vali-chan is, or the rest of Fairy Tail." I admit as Serafall sighs while rubbing her temples.

"Great. You seem awfully calm for someone who lost their rumored adopted son and the White Dragon Emperor." Serafall looks at me with slightly suspicious eyes as I smirk.

"Unlike your little inexperienced Otaku princess, I'm confident in Vali's survival rate. Not to mention, something tells me they're all going to be fine as long as they stay with that Amos guy." I smile a little as I remember Vali-chan's adventures.

He did need a lot of friends and barely had any outside of Slashdog.

"Right… I'll take your word for it. Anyway, I'm going to go back and report to the others. You uh… Take care not to do anything stupid or something." She teleports away with a magical circle as I pout.

Why would I do something stupid?

Anyways, I'm gonna go get my gender-bending gun.

[A few minutes after Amos kicks out the group, Amos]

I rock my legs back and forth as I stare at empty space.

No, I am not looking at the system, I am trying to understand.

"Mmmm. Yep. Understand." I mutter as I add more anxiety to my plate as I realize I'm talking to myself in my head.

Taking a deep sigh, I place a hand on my face and lay my back down on the soft bed.

It's… the softest bed I've ever been on… I think?

Is it? I remember laying down on a lot of beds. Too many to be reasonable. What the hell was I? Some bed expert?

Did the void mess up my memories somehow in the brief… year I was there? Was it even a year? It felt like a lot more. Yet also felt like a lot less?

It was like I lived a year in a second… Actually, if I was in there for a year, why was I screaming and how did my throat not implode from the amount of screaming I did? I started screaming the second I saw that motherfucker Jigsaw on the TV, yet I never stopped screaming until I was finally out.

Was I only there for a minute? No… My sense of time was not that terrible… Right?

Am I Zoro but with time instead of space? Together, we find ourselves all across both Time and Space.

I've been keeping this locked away in my head for a while so that I can think about it only when I'm alone… but who am I?

I made myself a new name without hesitation, almost as if I didn't care about my old one…

What was my old one?

It was…? Alex? James? Kyle…? Hell no, I ain't no Kyle.

Wait, where am I from? Maybe I'm completely off the mark with the name…

I can remember… being in a lot of countries. Damn, I traveled a lot, huh?

Why… why do I see so many body pillows?

WAIT IS THAT HENTAI? STOP BRO I DON'T WANNA SEE ANYMORE. STOP MAN WHY YOU BRINGING OUT THE TISSUES?

I punch myself in the gut, bringing me out of my recalling trance as I hold my head in horror and violently shake myself out of the memories.

That was… horrible. Also, "What the actual fuck?"

I take a few deep breaths as Anxiety begins to claw its way into my heart-

*Knock Knock*

I look at the door with narrowed eyes as I slowly get off the bed and approach it.

"Hey, Amos? You alright? You haven't come down to eat yet and we're all waiting for you." Rossweisse's voice sounds out from the other side as I mentally slap myself for not using my magic sense to know who's on the other side.

"Yeah I'm fine, I was just reviewing some stuff." I answer as I open the door and see Rossweisse looking at me with slight worry.

"I see, would you like me to accompany you down?" She asks with a frown as I realize my clothes are unkempt right now after I rolled around in bed like a dumbass.

I did also punch myself in the gut but we're gonna skip that part.

"Sure! Give me a second to fix myself up." I smile brightly and close the door while using my telekinesis to tidy myself up slightly.

Let's see…

After a quick scan of my surroundings, even using telekinesis to press on everything in my room to make sure nothing is invisible and immune to magic sensing, I collapse to the ground and put my face in my hands.

"Okay… Everything is gonna be okay… I need to get a hold of myself as soon as possible. I don't know what's going on with my memories but…" I bite my lower in focus and frustration as I hold a nearby chair in a death grip.

Huh, it has great durability if it doesn't break that easi- Wait! Focus.

"Everything will be okay… My memories are just a tool for my future character development. Damned author!" I punch the air above me as my head faces the ground.

I need to hold myself together. Not just for me but for the others as well.

I've been playing the fool for a bit as a way to cope, but also for the others that need to cope to do so as well.

After all, surely things can't be that bad? There's a clown right next to me helping me smile at all times. Or at least that's what I hope they're thinking.

I'm smart, I can figure this out. For now, though, I need to keep my facade up so the others don't panic. I will have time to have a panic attack later.

"Okay, Amos. Get in the zone!" I smack my cheeks with my two hands -anime style- as I look into the mirror and put on my happy smile.

Fake it till you make it, baby.

I slam open the door as Rossweisse jumps, startled.

"Alright hoes, homebros, and non-binary homies. We got stuff to do." Rossweisse stares at me in horror as she looks around in fear, thinking that someone may have heard me.

Jokes on her, I already sensed around to see if someone was nearby. I'm good to say whatever I want!

"Relax Weiss. No one's around. Anyways, is everyone there and ready?" I ask with a smile as she nods stiffly while glaring at me.

"Yes, we're all waiting for you. What were you doing inside anyway?" I quickly begin to walk forward as I hear her footsteps behind me.

"My goals are beyond your understanding." Ominously answering is the way to go! Judging by the way she's staring at me, she's dismissed it as one of my 'quirks'.

Not the good kind sadly, DAMN I want One for All.

I enter a private dining area with everyone there sitting around a table, an awkward silence settles in the area as Vali stares out the window with a scowl while the others cringe.

"What happened?" I ask immediately with a deadpan as everyone's heads turn towards me and Rossweisse.

"Well… We were having a little argument. Nothing to be concerned about." Rias answers first as everyone minus Vali nods.

Vali sneers before looking back outside the window.

I allow a buzz to manifest in my brain as a telepathic link connects all of us.

"Is it truly nothing or are you unable to say something out loud?"

"It's nothing, truly!" Kunou replies immediately as she glances at Vali with sweat on her forehead.

"Right…"

"Do not concern yourself." Xenovia puts a hand on Kunou's shoulder.

"They were talking about-"Vali immediately shuts the connection forcibly with anger as everyone looks at him in bewilderment.

"This does not look like 'nothing', but we shall speak of this later. I have stood at the entrance awkwardly for long enough." I enter with Rossweisse behind me as I sit at the head of the table like the boss that I am.

"Is everyone ready for tomorrow? I will be giving everyone except Vali 50 gold to use in times of emergency. It has come to my attention that you may need money for some things like library access or… necessities. Therefore, I will be giving you your first allowance now." I take out 4 pouches of 50 GP and hand them to the girls as they cheer happily.

"Woooo!" Rias immediately stands up with purpose as she-

"Use this money wisely or it will be the last you're getting this year." I cut all of their dreams mercilessly as I smirk behind my cup of wine.

They all grumble as they put the money in their inventory. Rias wilts into her seat with tears in her eyes.

[POV Change, Third Person View]

Just in time, a few well-dressed men enter the room and begin placing food on the table in a professional manner that gets a few appreciative nods from the party.

Amos notices that Charles is at the head of these men and seems to be eyeing them quite intently.

{I get it homie. You're some secret martial master that decided to settle down in a nice tavern once your glory days were over or whatever. No need to start looking at us like we're here to bring you out of retirement.} Amos deadpans at the butler as Charles looks away.

Vali notices Amos looking at Charles weirdly and inspects the butler for anything weird.

"Is something wrong with the butler, Amos?"

"Nah. This dude is probably some Tier 5 or 6 master that decided to settle down at this tavern for his retirement. He's been looking at us intently ever since we arrived, and I don't think those instincts belong to a random butler." Amos casually begins to eat, unaware or uncaring of everyone's increasing worry at a nearby powerhouse.

"Shouldn't we be worried?" Rossweisse glances at the butler nervously but stops quickly at a pointed look from Amos.

"Nah. He probably thinks we're some young troublemakers or something like that. Probably thinks we're gonna make trouble that will bring him out of retirement or something. That's how the cliche goes anyways."

"I… see."

"I told you to relax, Kunou. He wouldn't dare risk his retirement by doing something to us first. If none of us initiate the first move, we'll be fine."

"You seem extremely sure of this man's background and thought process. Why is that?"

"You see, Rias, once you gain the unlimited wisdom of anime that comes from experience, you tend to understand the world in a way none else can. I have been blessed with this experience because I'm that cool."

"Just say that it's a hunch, you bastard."

"Will you be needing anything else, young master?" Charles speaks from behind Amos suddenly, startling everyone except Amos.

"No, that will be all. Thank you very much for your service, Charles. We will call you if we need anything else." Amos calmly answers with an honest smile as he continues eating.

"Very well. I am a call away." With that, Charles swiftly exits the room after the rest of the workers, leaving the party to eat.

"That was probably a warning. If he was less professional then this would be him impressing us so that we ask him for teaching or some weird shit, like my boi Jiraiya. But no, he's too professional, so that was probably a warning."

"I see. I'm gonna go punch his teeth in." Vali was about to stand up but is held down by Amos's telekinesis as Amos lightly glares at Vali.

"Remind me, what's the job I gave you?"

"Information gathering."

"The harder one, the one that I said first."

"Don't... Start a fight…"

"What were you about to do?"

"... Start a fight?"

"Would you have won that fight?"

"Obviously!"

"I literally just said this dude was a Tier 5-6. Might I remind you that we have learned that Tier 5 was a bottleneck tier that normal people cannot simply reach without dedicating themselves? Tier 6 is even stronger, named the 'demigod stage'. If he's either of those, we're too weak to even consider fighting him. If we were all Tier 4 I'd say we might have a chance with some pretty big sacrifices but we are not. There's only like 3-4 of us that are Tier 3 last I checked."

"..."

"Think before you act, Vali. You were probably a high rank in an organization of some sort in your old world, weren't you? So used to doing whatever and having someone else clean up after you, no? That won't work here. We only have each other here. I will not clean up after someone who wouldn't do the same for me."

"... I understand."

"Great. I'm glad I can count on you, my bro." Amos sends him a thumbs up with a smile as Vali looks away.

"Well… I'm glad we had this conversation." Rias gives Amos a strained smile.

"Yep! Does anyone have anything they wanna say before tomorrow?"

"No…?" Xenovia looks at Amos weirdly.

"Cool! Timeskippu!"

[Timeskip no Jutsu!]

The next 3 days or so went by without any hiccups.

Vali went around exploring the town and mapping the area mentally while keeping count of the different types of stores present. A small rumor of a silver man walking through the streets with a scary aura and cursing a 'stupid white bastard' appeared recently.

Rossweisse has decided she will live in the public library from now on. Sadly, Amos decided that she will not be doing that. A different rumor of a white-haired man dragging a white-haired woman out of the library and through the streets surfaced recently.

Kunou has been having a great time exploring the city in her small fox form. So far she's been able to listen in on some interesting drama and gossip, but not much else. She's also been able to get a lot of snacks from the locals who were entranced by her fox form. Another rumor of a beautiful fox appearing around the city and blessing people with good luck if seen has surfaced.

Amos and Rias have been mingling with other nobles at the tavern, making connections and speaking pleasantries for most of their time. Rias is at the end of her wits with how many men have shown interest in 'showing her around'. A rumor of an erased wall suddenly appearing at the Pink Ruby Tavern surfaced.

That's the name of the tavern by the way. Amos was extremely annoyed since there's no such thing as a 'pink ruby'. What they're talking about is a Pink Sapphire. Where he got this information he has no clue.

Lastly, Xenovia has been patrolling the rooms and honing her sword skills in her free time. The only thing she's experienced is weird noises coming from the walls that sound unholy. A rumor of a priestess aggressively praying has also surfaced at the Pink Ruby Tavern.

[Vali and Amos POV]

"How was it?" Amos asks as he continues writing something on his desk, not sparing a glance at Vali who doesn't answer until he jumps into the bed, his shoes still on.

"I got the shit you asked for. 5 normal potions of health. 1 Greater Potion of Health. 5 Potions of Mana. 3 Potions of Stamina. Lastly, the fucking Studded Leather armor for you and I that's completely fucking useless and I won't ever use it." Vali glares at Amos as Amos sighs and hops out of his chair before going towards the stuff that Vali laid out on the bed next to him.

"Vali, look at me." Amos grabs the leather armor that was made for him as Vali glances at him in annoyance.

"What is it?"

"I have the armor on."

"... What?"

Vali quickly looks at Amos, noticing that the armor that was in his hands is nowhere in sight and there's a weird blue outline around Amos.

"We have the ability to put armor and equipment without having it be shown. You wouldn't be seen wearing leather armor and would still benefit from the armor rating increases. You also would not suffer from the mobility decrease from armor and the stuffiness of one too." Amos shakes his arm as the outline moves with it, Vali now being able to recognize that it looks like the leather armor he bought.

"Oh…"

"Yeah… Just go ahead and wear it, man. I don't want you to die from being overconfident. There is no shame in being equipped. In fact, I'd daresay being unequipped shows how childish and arrogant one person is. The strongest people I know about in history were armored. I mean, even the giantest Dick in the world, Gilgamesh, has his own suit of plate armor, and I'd daresay he's more arrogant than you. Plus, isn't the Balance Breaker thing Rossweisse told me about basically just armor? I'm not asking you to start using weapons. I made a fist-only build for Skyrim once. Tons of fun punching shit to death. Still wore full Ebony armor though. No reason not to." Amos speaks while putting a hand on Vali's shoulder, the armor outline disappearing as Vali looks down in thought.

"... I'll think about it." Vali eventually speaks out, grabbing the armor and putting it in his inventory before getting off the bed and heading towards the door.

"The weapons you ordered should be done in an hour or so. The blacksmith told me so at least." Vali was about to leave but-

"Help!"

"Vali. Get Xenovia. Now."

[Our favorite Fox Waifu, Kunou, POV.]

I hum in my fox form as I continue scouring the streets, letting out noises of acknowledgment at some of the people that gave me snacks and were waving at me right now.

Amos wanted me to stay as hidden as I can, but I think that this is nicer. He also didn't say anything once I told him that I was seen, so it should be fine!

He did frown though…

Well… It's not like he can control me! I do what I want. What I want right now is one of those tasty sausage snacks.

As I turn a corner into an alleyway I know eventually leads to my sausage stand, I see a shady figure looking around wearily before pressing on a wall in a certain pattern.

As I'm about to laugh at the dumb person, a door appears where they were just pressing and they quickly enter it before the door disappears.

Woah! Looks cool… and shady. I know Amos said that I shouldn't do anything too risky… I'm too curious!

Also, it's not like anything bad could happen, right? They say curiosity killed the cat, but I'm a fox!

As I giggle, I turn into my human- err… Humanoid form as I press the wall in the same pattern and quickly enter the door once it appears before turning into my fox form.

The inside is dark. All I can see is a stairway leading downwards and the occasional dim torch that barely gives any light.

It's kinda weird how… dark this place is. Everywhere in Lusterias glows brightly and has bright colorful gems on every surface. This place, however… It's made with some kind of dark stone and is barely lit up.

As I continue walking down the stairway, I finally reach the bottom. Suddenly, my fur stands at its end as a feeling of dread fills me.

"What's a small, cute fox like you doing here?" A woman's voice sounds out from behind me as I swiftly turn around and-

"Oho… You're so cute! You're that lucky fox, right? Must be my lucky day." Her hand comes close to my face and the last thing I can do is…

"Help!"

[Everyone else in Fairy Tail, POV]

After getting Xenovia and sending her to get Rossweisse, Amos got Vali to collect the weapons that were already made by the blacksmith and instructed Vali to rendezvous at a certain place in the city.

While Vali was doing that, Amos took Rias and began moving around the city seemingly aimlessly.

Amos put a hand on his temple as he tried to focus.

There was a different feature to the Ring of Communication that was not stated in the description of the item.

{No… This feature most likely lies in the fact that I am attuned to the ring. But I can feel where Kunou is at all times as long as she has that ring on. An unintended feature, but a welcome one.}

When Kunou first left to start exploring the city, Amos had a small feeling at the back of his head telling him where she was at all times. After a bit of questioning and experimentation, Amos figured this out but didn't tell Kunou.

He knew he probably should have, but felt that Kunou might have been a bit weirded out by the fact he knew where she was at all times and would've taken it off in her rebellious streak.

After all, this is basically like installing a tracking app on your child's phone and tracking their every move. Except, Amos gave a ring to his fox waifu that shows him where she is at all times.

He can feel her… underground. No. She is underground, but not anywhere near the city. She's probably in a different place thanks to teleportation.

He can still feel where she last was in the city though, and it was in a small alleyway in a more down-to-earth portion of the city.

Amos looks at the alleyway while biting his thumb, making Rias look at him worriedly.

"Amos, I know you're worried but… I don't think that getting a sausage is the best way to find Kunou." Rias comments as she bites the sausage in her hand.

"I was just standing here, you were the one who ordered food." Amos comments with a small smile as Rias pauses and looks at him with widened eyes.

"You mean that I wasn't supposed to order food?" Rias almost drops the Sausages but catches herself quickly. They cost her a full goddamn gold coin.

That's a couple months of work for the normal peasant.

"No, Rias. You're free to eat them though. Xenovia and Rossweisse have arrived." Amos comments while looking in a direction, making Rias confused as she doesn't see anyone.

"Where- Oh. There they are. Wait they literally just passed that corner into our vision, how did you know?"

"None may escape my divine eye, Rias. You too shall learn of this forbidden technique once I finish teaching you of the way." Rias begins smiling giddily once she learns of the forbidden technique she will learn.

"What's up with her? Also, why are we all gathering here? Where's Kunou?" Rossweisse enters the conversation with strength as she begins shaking Amos aggressively.

"She's being her usual self. This is near the latest place Kunou was in as well as a landmark that everyone knows about that we can gather in. Kunou was probably foxnapped /again/ and taken to a place far from here." Amos answers every question in order as she stops shaking him and looks around anxiously.

"Where's Vali?" Xenovia looks at Amos intently, allowing him to notice the concealed concern and worry in her eyes.

{Huh, glad to see she actually cares for Kunou. Now all that's left is for her to stop trying to stab the two devils every 5 seconds.}

"Getting us the equipment I commissioned for us. You guys got yourself some armor and weapons, but you're gonna need a lot more than just that in a world like this. Also, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Welcome, Lucifer." Amos smirks as Vali approaches the group with a huff.

"The blacksmith was understanding of our rushed situation and said that he substituted some of the stuff we ordered with already made stuff he had, they were a tad more expensive but he said they were of better quality. He hopes you don't mind." Vali throws a giant bag at Amos.

Amos catches it and begins moving into the alleyway while everyone else follows him in confusion.

"The Ring of Communication… It had a feature that I did not tell you all about. Mostly because I didn't know about it at first but… You can track the location of items you are attuned to no matter where they are. The ring is attuned to me, not Kunou." Amos explains as he walks into the alleyway and touches a seemingly random wall gently.

"Wait. So you could find where Kunou was at all times?" Rossweisse narrows her eyes at Amos as he turns to glare at her.

"Rossweisse. Tell me. What would happen in this situation if I did not have that ability? You do not need to answer. Now, tell me. If I were to tell the party about this ability. Do you think Kunou would keep the ring on at all times, or only put it on when she wants to speak to me?" Amos glares at Rossweisse as she blushes, either in anger or embarrassment.

"You could have at least told one of us!" She retorts angrily.

"And when it is finally found out? 'I can't believe both of you! You didn't even tell me that you could track me at all times? You! Rossweisse! I thought we were friends, yet you didn't even let me know that Amos could know my location at all times?'" Amos mimics Kunou's voice almost perfectly, freaking the party out slightly as Rossweisse stares at the ground in shame, before remembering that Kunou isn't the one speaking and looking up in confusion.

"See? That's what would happen. I will get Kunou's anger either way. But it's for her own safety. So I will take her anger and accept it without forcing anyone else into that burden. That's what it means to be a leader. If I have to take your sins if it allows you safety, I will do so." Amos looks away from Rossweisse as the group falls silent.

"Rossweisse, I am not as adept in magic as you are. Use your magic sense on this wall and reverse engineer it." Amos's voice cuts through the silence as everyone looks at him in confusion.

"What?" Rossweisse activates her own magic sense, which is much 'weaker' than Amos's and widens her eyes at the wall.

"This is… a dimensional door to somewhere else. Oh! This is brilliant! I can probably figure out something similar…" She begins summoning a few magic circles and runes as she pokes the wall in fascination.

"Weiss. Priorities." Amos's voice snaps her out of her experimentation.

"Sorry! Okay, give me a few minutes." She immediately starts trying to figure out how to activate the dimensional door.

"While she does that, I'm gonna distribute the stuff that I got. Listen up, I got everyone here Explorers Packs. Or whatever equivalent they have in this world I'm just gonna use the D&D names for my own convenience. These packs have the basic supplies we're gonna need on the road as well as a few choice items that will fit you. I have also commissioned each of us a few daggers of good quality to help in dismantling things, whether inanimate or organic, as well as serve as a backup weapon when in need. Rias, I got you some leather armor as you wasted all your money on your swords. And clothes. I'd like everyone to place their armor in their inventory and mentally 'equip' them, as it allows you to put armor and equipment on without having it appear on your person, allowing you to keep your mobility while retaining the armor value of whatever type of armor you have." Amos instructs as he hands Rias her armor and gives everyone a bunch of daggers and knives as well as leather holsters.

"There are two waist ones, an arm holster that can be put on whichever arm you want it to be on, and a thigh one. I have two special ones in my gauntlets that I specially ordered." Amos demonstrates as two knives appear from his wrist, Assassin's Creed style.

Rias begins clapping as Amos smirks while everyone else deadpans.

"I'm almost done here, prepare to move guys." Rossweisse finishes placing her holsters just as her magical circles seem to be wrapping up.

"I'll give you all the rest of your items later. Time to save my fox waifu!" Amos punches the air above him as Rias follows his lead.

"Yeah!" Rossweisse also does it, determination clearly written on her face.

Vali and Xenovia look at each other for a second before letting out a resigned sigh.

Just as the door appears, a magical circle suddenly appears underneath the entire party, alarming everyone.

"What-"

"Oi-"

"...-"

"Huh-"

"Bruh-"

You can guess who said what…

Flash!

The group suddenly finds themselves in the middle of a beautiful room, as large as a castle's throne room. Silky red carpets and beautiful engravings on pillars were everywhere in sight, and a beautiful canopy with a golden throne at its helm was at the very back of the room.

Sitting on the throne was a beautiful woman with blonde hair and green eyes wearing a beautiful crimson dress adorned with metal plating to show elegance and combat capability, her hair was put in a royal bun that was shaping a picture that Amos did not like whatsoever.

{... My empress?}

Before Amos could panic, the party looks at the other person standing in front of the throne right now.

Similar to the woman, this man has fair blonde hair and fine noble red clothing that barely disguises the armor plating adorning it. The man stands in front of the woman, giving his back to the party, consequently not allowing them to see his face.

"Nero. I have humored you for long enough. I wrote off your… eccentricities as you rebelling as a teenager, but I cannot dismiss your behavior any longer." The man was soft-spoken, yet his voice was carried across the entire room easily enough. It was firm, but with an undertone of anger hidden within.

"One of my men came running to me in a panic, holding this in his hands." The man takes out a giant red orb, as big as his hand, and throws it in front of Nero as the crystal shatters, the remains letting out a weird red gas while the crystal shards lose their color. The lady looks at the orb with a deadpan before turning to the man.

"Explain yourself, Nero. You planted high-level dungeon cores all across the city at key areas that you KNEW would suffer greatly if hit. If we had been a day late, the entire city would've been overrun with monsters." The man almost yells at the end, yet his tone does not cross that line.

The woman lazily moves her leg off the side of the throne and pets something on her lap as she stares at the man in front of her with an enchanting smile, though the scorn and disgust in her eyes was betraying said smile.

"This city is not beautiful. I am disgusted by that which is not beautiful. Is that not a simple enough reason for me to destroy it and rebuild it a million times better?" Her voice was as smooth as silk, light as a feather, yet carried unimaginable amounts of condescension.

Amos was extremely silent at the moment, unnerving the rest of the party as they all stared at him in silence.

"Guys… First of all, stop panicking we're in a cutscene right now so saying anything would get us obliterated. Second of all, Kunou is on… that woman's lap. Third, be silent until they finish and silently begin walking behind me."

The others did not respond, but they silently began to move behind Amos as they stared at the unnerving duo at the throne.

"I believe that should be the Archduke and his daughter. I had heard a couple things about him, but not much about her… If only I knew though."

The party was even wearier after hearing that, silently glancing at 'Nero' in alarm.

What could get Amos so silent?

"Do not use that tone with me, Nero! You are meant to protect your people. Not kill them simply because they are not 'beautiful' enough for you!" The man's voice edges the border of yelling, yet does not pass it just yet.

"Do not act as if you care about the 'people'. You are afraid of the king and what he may do if the most important city in Aurealis is destroyed. You need have no fear! For I, Nero Doflamingo, am here!" The woman puffs her chest forward as she gets up from her throne with a fox in her arms, unconscious.

From the sides of the room, dozens of knights begin pouring in as they surround the man.

The party tensed as the knights looked at them, but they ignored them completely in favor of the Archduke.

Amos had a very good idea as to why…

The room's temperature suddenly skyrocketed, making everyone feel as if they were standing in front of the sun.

"Nero… Is this treason?" The man's voice was terribly chilling, contrary to the heat he was emitting. The words were said so quietly, yet heard by everyone in the room just the same…

"No, It's a… surprise demotion." Nero answers with a sickeningly sweet smile.

Just a second before any action could be taken, the fox that was in Nero's grip suddenly flies out of her arms and into Amos's waiting hands, making everyone quickly look towards the 'newcomers' (They were there the entire time).

"I am horribly apologetic about my interruption of this cutscene but, I'm 99% sure Kunou was gonna get caught in the crossfire so… Yoink?" Amos's voice results in an unnatural silence that lasts for what felt like days.

Rossweisse pinches Amos painfully as his smile strains. He steps forward -mostly to get away from Rossweisse- and clears his throat.

"Please forget my earlier words, I have a very important question for you, Lady Nero…" Amos's stare turns intense. "Are you my UmU empress…?"

The entire room halted.

The silence was palpable, this time for a completely different reason.

Archduke Neron's heat is completely nullified as he stares at Amos with… shock, horror, and… resignation?

The knights look at Amos as if he's the second coming of insanity, resignation also present on most of their faces.

Nero's face on the other hand… had the most beautiful blush the world could offer. It had a smile unrivaled by no other as she raised a hand to her face, not unlike a maiden hiding her embarrassed face.

"... Umu…"

The entire room erupted in chaos as the temperature went downright nuclear.

The Archduke could be seen angrily sending fireballs at Nero as she slashes through them with a summoned weapon that closely resembles Aestus Estus, or at least Amos can make that connection.

The knights charged at the Archduke but the ones at the front are immediately incinerated by the heat. The others are unable to advance forward as legions of knights suddenly appear from a magical circle and intercept the other knights.

Each side was a plethora of iron, crimson, and golden engravings. It was impossible to make out friend from foe, yet the two sides fought just the same.

The two doors at each side of the room suddenly slam open as more knights enter the fray, uncaring of who is the enemy as savage fighting ensues.

Amos grabs the party with his telekinesis, straining it to its limit due to the extreme amount of… everything being moved, and moves behind one of the giant pillars in the middle of the room as he waits for one of the rooms to empty out their knights.

"Amos? What the fuck was that?" [Val]

"THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW! WHY THE FUCK IS MY EMPRESS HERE? Oh, and we're right now in the cutscene at the start of our journey that basically hints at the endgame or at least the major plot of the story. Like Alduin in skyrim. Why the hell are you seeing the endgame boss literally at the start of the game? Plot." [Amo]

"AMOS WE DO NOT NEED YOUR GIBBERISH RIGHT NOW. WAKE UP KUNOU!" [Ros]

"Already working on it. She had some sleep magic static effect thingy, I'm pushing that magic out by placing mine in-, oh wow that sounds way worse than it should be." [Amo]

"Okay! Do you have a plan on how to get out of here?" [Ria]

"Not really." [Amo]

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT REALLY YOU FUCKING BASTARD?" [Val]

"Holy shit, calm down bro we're in a mind link. You don't need to yell. Also, this is a 'teaser' as I already said. We have plot armor on our side. As long as none of us do anything stupid, we should get out of here easily enough." [Amo]

"We're going to die…" [Xen]

"I'm just… Wow. This is too much for me right now." [Ros]

The group watches as more knights come from the doors and even more are summoned before suddenly two giant spell circles appear in the air and two giant beasts appear from them.

One of the beasts is a fearsome red dragon that is at least 20 meters in size with claws sharper than most blades and fangs larger than grown men. It immediately roars as a gigantic vortex of fire is launched at the other beast.

The other beast is a pink avian creature… a flamingo…? That rivals the dragon in size, having beautiful pink feathers and green eyes. It extends its wings and lets out gales of wind powerful enough to repel the fire and screeches loudly, bursting the eardrums of everyone nearby and being mildly annoying to Fairy Tail.

"Huh. Cool familiars. My empress has style, that's for sure." [Amo]

"AMOS I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD! FUCKING OW." [Val]

"You did not just fucking say 'Fucking Ow'..." [Amo]

"He did. It was hilarious. He does that every time by the way." [Alb]

"Yooo! Big A, how's it going?" [Amo]

"Pretty good, Lil A. I found out that when I go to sleep I go back to that room full of wom- opponents. I've been using my time wisely." [Alb]

"AHAHAHAH! My man! Go get 'em homie. Hope you're enjoying the show though, say is Ddraig or whatever bigger than that dragon over there?" [Amo]

"HAHAHAH! You know me, Lil A. Also yes, Ddraig is much bigger. He and I were at least 4 times bigger than him at our primes." [Alb]

"Damn! You must've looked badass. Well anyways, I think the rest of my party is about to pop every single blood vessel in their bodies, and Kunou is about to wake up, talk to you later Big A!" [Amo]

"Later, Lil A. I'm just gonna go ahead and watch this now that I'm awake. Might as well." [Alb]

Everyone is glaring daggers at Amos as he helps the now waking up Kunou with a carefree smile.

"Wut… What's going on…?" Kunou's sleepy voice tempts Amos too much as he begins patting her head.

"Enter the mind link… There. Kunou, we just rescued you but we're right now in the middle of a cutscene and- HOLY SHIT IS THAT LAVA FALLING FROM THE ROOF?" [Amo]

"AMOS I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF YOU DON'T MAKE SOME FUCKING PLAN TO GET OUT OF HERE I'M GOING TO HAUNT YOU ONCE I DIE." [Val]

"Silly Vali. If you die, I'm probably also dead. You can't haunt me if we're both dead." [Amo]

As the group talks, literal lava and magma drop from the ceiling as the roof splits into two and everyone on the ground begins freaking out.

Amos continues petting Kunou but suddenly feels his instincts flare as he quickly turns towards the father and daughter, catching Nero staring at his hand on Kunou's head with narrowed eyes and unconcealed hostility.

"Holy shit I just made a Yandere Nero. I don't know if I should be scared or turned on." [Amo]

"WE DON'T FUCKING NEED YOUR JOKES RIGHT NOW AMOS!" [Ria/Ros]

The small confused muttering of "Jokes..?" did nothing to reassure the duo.

Just as Amos was about to respond, a giant magical circle appears across the entire room, but the magma lands right on a clearly important part as the magical circle turns from blue to red.

"See? This teleportation circle was probably meant to take us somewhere important but is about to teleport us somewhere random due to a spell mish-"

Just as Amos was about to finish, the magical circle activates and the group sees nothing but a blinding flash of light.

The last thing Amos was able to say was…

"Fuck the author…"


Ahaha… Been a while. LISTEN BROS! SO MUCH SHIT HAPPENED! I moved again, I had finals (which I got the third highest score for ehehee), AND I had to live for a month without internet because the mf running this company are hoes. YALL KNOW THIS MF TOOK A PLAN THAT COSTS 200 POUNDS, AND IT FUCKING TOOK 350 POUNDS. WHAT KIND OF FUCKING TAX IS 175%? BRUHHHHHHH

I'm currently working on making 5-6 more chapters and sending out several at once as an apology for how… late I am. Better to come back later with a couple chapters than coming back still late but with only 1 chapter.

Here, I'll divide the reviews across the chapters. Time 4 reviews!

BokutoNoD: Hey no problem man! Also thanks for your support.

Gauravbansal1999: I'm not exactly sure why you believe so, but ever since Monty died, the show has been changed due to 2 relatives I believe taking over. I am sure that what he had planned would've been much better, but I wish to still watch what has come from such a nice series! Thanks for your support btw.

Rangganarindra01: Thanks bro! Glad to see I wasn't trash.

Sanjiv121606: That sounds amazing and thank you for the suggestion. Also thanks for your support!

LennyFaceSupplier: True! Nascent Kaleidoscope is amazing. Also, you just made me laugh so hard by calling my other story 'Prisoner of Pigeons'. Thank you so much for that. It's 'Prisons and Pigeons', a play on words with the game 'Dungeons and Dragons'.

That's all for this chapter. I'll do yours next Guest.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, if you did, review, follow, favorite, or do whatever you feel like doing. Except for murder. Or do that too. Idk.

See you all later!
