Last time on a fairy tail re-told

Natsu: time to hit Tartaros where it hurts

Kinana: yeah, let's do it

Natsu: I think I saw Zeref in the chaos

Kinana: why would Zeref be here

Natsu: demons of Zeref Kinana, keep up

Kinana: I am keeping up

Kyoka was stopped when she felt something press against her neck. As she turned to see the emerald eye of Kinana as Natsu grabbed her arms.

"man, you sure were gone for a long time," Natsu laughed

"almost started to get bored," Kinana joked as Kyoka tried to break free "be careful," Kinana said, "one wrong move, and I see how your demon body reacts to poison" she smiled

"We had you in chains," Kyoka shouted, "how did you escape," she screamed

"thanks to all that shaking you were doing, this awesome sword fell into my lap," Natsu said

"the heat blade," Kyoka muttered "you found it," she growled

"yeah, and it cuts through pretty much anything," Natsu said, "just what the doctor ordered"

"what have you done with Erza" Kyoka shouted "isn't she your ally."

"the girl had to blow off some steam," Natsu said as someone walked forward as Erza came from the dark with Yakdoriga over her shoulder now in her clear heart clothing; she smiled, "what, what? Have done with Yakdoriga."

"you treated me so well," Erza muttered as she tossed the demon to the ground, stepping on it, "so it's only fair I return the favor, " she said as she tied Kyoka in her chains. "I intend to make the rest of your short life a living hell," she screamed.

"I don't think we want to know what she did with her," Kinana whispered

"you alright, Erza," Natsu asked

"just let me blow off this steam" Erza gave a wicked grin

"Natsu Erza's scaring me," Kinana muttered as she stepped forward

"where are Mira and Elfman" Natsu shouted

"they got Elfman to," Erza asked as she pointed a sword at Kyoka "tell us where they are now," she screamed.

"two floors down," Kyoka said "in a lab," she said, "but no guarantee that she's still alive," she said

"what" Natsu shouted. "Erza."

"go," Erza said. She knew how much Mira meant to the both of them. "I can handle this," she whispered, giving Natsu a wink "don't worry about me," she said. "I'll find you, I promise," she said as Natsu nodded.

"come on, Kinana," Natsu shouted.

"right," Kinana said as they left Erza turned back to face Kyoka, who smiled at her.

"what was that shaking," Erza asked.

"our base had a stronger reaction to the unsealing of FACE than we expected," Kyoka said

"wait, so that means you," Erza asked.

"I have no idea," Kyoka smiled, "but I do know that Jellal may or may not be alive" she smiled.

"what are you trying to achieve," Erza asked, "what does removing the world of magic do for you."

"Everything we've done," Kyoka whispered, "we've done so we may return to Zeref" she smiled "your such a fool," she screamed as she broke the chains "these chains were meant to stop your magic users," she cried "it will not work on me" she shouted as she rushed Erza "now die" she screamed as Erza blocked her attack as she glared at her "what," she asked as Erza kicked her away.

"so, your all followers of Zeref," Erza asked.

"followers would be an understatement," Kyoka said "no, we're more like his children," she reasoned "we're all born of the sacred books," she said, "the sacred books of Zeref," she screamed. as Erza dodged her attacks, "it only natural for us to have faith in our creator," Kyoka screamed

"There is no problem with having faith in others," Erza said, "but it doesn't justify what the heart know is wrong," she screamed.

"How could a human understand" Kyoka shouted

"humans have beliefs of their own," Erza shouted, "and we need that; we mustn't let it blind us," Erza told her, "we think for ourselves, and we stand for our beliefs," Erza shouted as she changed into her piercing armor "you alone are responsible for what you choose," Erza screamed as she Slammed Kyoka into a wall.

Tartaros arc Part II: Kill or let live

"go," Natsu said, "I can take care of this," Natsu said, "go help, Mira."

"Okay," Kinana said as she hugged him "be careful," she said as he patted her on the head.

"don't worry about me, kid," Natsu said as he turned around, slamming them into the ground as he smiled, letting out another attack."{fire dragons: talon}" he screamed as she blasted them away "this will be easy now that I can use magic," he said as everything around them stopped "what is this"

[## Zeref's melancholy ost##]

"welcome, Natsu," a voice called as Natsu turned to see Zeref, the black wizard himself walking up to him "this is Tartaros," he smiled." where all my books reside." Zeref smiled as she looked at Natsu "it's been too long, Natsu," Zeref said. "I hope you have been well," he said

"it's you again," Natsu said as he went for the heat blade.

"it's funny," Zeref laughed "even beings of chaos can have some collaboration," he said. "Tartaros, a collection of my finest works," he said "of course, I can take any credit for their organization," Zeref said. "That goes to master E.N.D," he laughed.

"you must be so proud," Natsu growled, "this E.N.D that's the demon Igneel failed to kill."

"It is more accurate to say Igneel couldn't kill him," Zeref said

"then I guess I'll have to finish what he started," Natsu shouted as she slammed his sword against Zeref, completely destroying it in the process as Zeref smiled at him

"I have no doubt that you can," Zeref said, "but you should consider why Igneel failed to kill E.N.D." Zeref explained as Natsu backed up, "the answer may surprise you" he laughed as he gave Natsu a knowing look. "E.N.D is my most powerful creation, my legacy," Zeref said, "soon, you too will have to face that choice whether to kill or let live."

"what are you talking about," Natsu asked, "you're not making sense."

"I look forward to hearing your answer," Zeref said as his thought projection faded. "Tartaros is doing all of this in hopes of meeting me," Zeref smiled "if I were to waltz in here prematurely, it would spoil all the fun," Zeref said. "I wonder who will reach me first," Zeref said

"you or E.N.D"

Erza gained her footing as she was pulled back to the cube, landing on it. She looked around and changed back into her clear heart clothing as she looked around "there's gravity," she asked as she looked around, noticing that everyone was here to "you're all here."

"I'm glad you're okay," Laki said

"Why are we upside down," Erza asked

"no time to play catch up," Gray said "we should storm the hole Erza made"

"right," Mavis said

"Natsu and Kinana are okay as well," Erza said, "so that just leaves Mira and Elfman."

"Elfman is alright," Laki said "the demons did, a number on him, though," she explained.

"Alright," Mavis said, "we need to move," she said,

"you ready" Gray asked

"Right behind you," Juvia said as everyone started to jump into the hole that was made.

"don't forget the demon blood with bane particles," Porlyusica said "we need it if we want to cure the injured"

"let me worry about that," Cosmos said. "I'll find that demon, I promise," she told her "just keep them alive."

"that's why I'm here, child," Porlyusica said

"Kagura, you stay with the injured," Riana said as the girl nodded as she turned to assist in the hole.

"don't worry," Romeo said, "we'll keep an eye on her"

"yeah," Macao said

"Alright then," Erza said before she was grabbed, she looked over to see that Kyoka had also been dragged back to the cube "damn it," Erza screamed. "Lucy, Wendy," she shouted at both girls, "you need to stop them from using FACE," she screamed.

"But, what about you" Lucy shouted.

"I can handle this," Erza shouted "now go," she shouted

"come on," Wendy said, "if they have FACE, that means they broke all the seals," she said, "we have to go."

"right," Lucy said as Wendy, Happy, and Carla jumped into the hole, followed by Cosmos and Mavis Erza smiled as Kyoka slammed her into the ground as she stood up.

"it would seem by first helping of gratitude didn't help much," Erza said

"I'm starting to like you," Kyoka said "you'd make a fine demon" she laughed

[## fairy tail rising ost##]

"back off," Gray shouted as she fired some ice blasts as. Riana got in front of him as another group came to him.

"go," Riana said "stop FACE," she said as she sliced down another group of guards. A tank rolled up to them as she backed up "{wind style: upwards slash}" she screamed as she cut the tank in half as the guards backed up.

"oh man, that's cool," Laki shouted.

"you can say that again," Gray said as Riana stood back to them "we need to move," he said,

"Right behind you," Juvia said

"Mira," Kinana called as she walked through hells core, she was now wearing a brown jacket with light-colored trimming over a white shirt tied together with two belts and a small brown skirt with brown boots she was lucky she found it cause before she was basically naked "where are you" she called, "Say something," she said when someone jumped in her way, she stopped when she saw that it was Mira. "Mira" Kinana screamed as she ran to hug the girl.

"Kinana," Mira said, "why are you here."

"they managed to capture Elfman and me," Kinana told her "they even got Natsu and Erza."

"what," Mira said, "do you know where he is"

"he's here," a voice called as they turned to Seilah walking up to them.

"Kinana get behind me" Mira said

"Elfman was my latest pawn," Seilah said. "I sent him back to your home to destroy fairy tail," she explained, "but it would seem that he failed," he said through gritted teeth "thanks to him, your precious home is no nothing but a pile of ashes" she gave a dark grin, "but fairy tail is still breathing" she growled "I was humiliated, in front of Kyoka no less" she growled "all because of that man," she said, "so I will spill his sister's blood."

"your right," Mira said " there is a blood price to be paid," Mira said

"yours"

Franmalth frowned as he tried to figure out how to work Crawford's super archive. "I knew that we would be off by a few margins," Franmalth muttered, "but how could we have been so wrong," he asked as he continued pressing buttons. He stopped when he heard the doors open. He then ran and hid, trying to figure out who it was as he saw Lucy and Wendy enter the room with Happy and Carla following close behind.

"This place looks important," Lucy muttered

"look at all the writing," Happy said

"yeah," Wendy said, "and that big floating sphere."

"This must be some kind of command center," Carla reasoned

'How could they have made it this far" Franmalth wondered "those worthless guards couldn't be more pathetic if they tried" Franmalth sighed

"you see that," Lucy said, "looks like FACE has been unsealed," she said

"then we got to stop it," Wendy said

"Could we use this writing" Happy asked

"Perhaps," Carla said, "but there is no way for us to operate it," Carla said "we were locked out," she said

"hold on," Lucy said, "it says here we gotta use it at sight," Lucy said, "basically meaning we have to set it off manually."

"you sure work fast, Ezel. Well done," Franmalth whispered.

"oh no," Wendy muttered "not to jump to conclusions or anything," Wendy said, "but I think this is a countdown timer," she said, pointing at the screen which said they had forty-one minutes remaining until FACE activated.

"if this thing goes off, then all the magic on the continent will be purged," Carla whispered.

"what do we do" Happy screamed in panic "it's every cat for himself."

"We can't stop it unless we go to it," Wendy said

"We don't have time to tell the others," Carla said, "so it falls to our hands." they stopped when they heard keys clicking together.

"the prayers of these maidens wail like the bitter tools of hell's bed," a voice called. They turned to see Keyes walking up to them as they backed up "the age of demons is nigh, and it will shine with the radiance of a morning star and breathe new life into the land," he said as he stopped in front of them "You Maiden Fairies who have fallen into Hades shall become corpses and drift away in purgatory."

"is that," Lucy asked in fear, "a skeleton."

"it's just a mask," Wendy told her. "I hope."

"We don't have time for this," Lucy said," we need to get out of here," Lucy said, "and fast."

"stopping FACE is all that matters," Happy said

"Sorry to burst your bubble." Franmalth screamed as he came from his hiding spot "your too late," he screamed

[##Lucy's turn ost##]

"I got this one," Lucy shouted {open gate of the golden bull and ram: Taurus, and Aries}" she screamed as Taurus and Aries appeared into the room. "I need you to tear these demons a new one," Lucy called.

"you got it, Miss Lucy," Aries said

"We got the mooves" Taurus smiled

"{wool blast}" Aries screamed

"now a wool typhoon," Taurus screamed as he started to spin, trapping both Franmalth and Keyes in the wool.

"let move," Lucy screamed

"you know where we're going, right," Wendy asked

"to poison jelly valley," Carla explained, "that is where FACE is located."

"aye," Happy said as he grabbed Lucy, and the pair flew off as Keyes watched them.

"Taurus, Aries," Lucy called, "hold them off, okay."

"right," Aries called as Lucy left

[## Black archbishop Keyes ost##]

"We need to hurry," Wendy shouted as they turned a corner to see Keyes waiting for them, "what? How did he get here."?

"maybe a secret passage," Lucy said " we need to blast past him"

"Behold the star of" he was stopped when Gray punched right through him

"Gray," Wendy cheered

"hold up, where are you going," Gray asked as Lucy and Wendy blasted past them.

"no time to explain," Wendy said

"Thanks for the save," Lucy called

"yeah," Gray said as he looked at Keyes

"you," Keyes muttered, "you are Silvers."

"what," Gray asked

"if we keep going forward, there should be a hole here," Lucy said as she saw the hole, she was talking about that was made when Natsu busted in here.

"you're not going anywhere, ladies," Franmalth screamed; however, he looked different. His body possesses Aries' horns and can coat himself in a wool cloak. As he shot Aries wool at them, grabbing Lucy.

"what is Aries wool doing here" Lucy screamed, "damn it."

"Are you okay" Wendy shouted

"we'll save you," Carla screamed

"no time," Lucy cried "go now."

"Carla be careful," Happy screamed.

"Good luck," Wendy said as she left.

"leaving so soon," Franmalth screamed as she shot his attack

"Carla, look out," Wendy called

"hold on," Carla screamed as she dived as Franmalth arm gave chase to the two girls.

"he's gaining," Wendy screamed as she kicked his hand away "we're running out of time."

"almost got you," Franmalth screamed when his arm was blown off as he jumped back.

"what happened," Wendy asked as Natsu appeared now wearing a black long-sleeved jacket, that was left open, untucked, and no undershirt with light-colored trimming and the sleeves rolled up to his wrists, black baggy pants held by a brown leather belt with a silver buckle around his waist, and a pair of dark brown, high-calf boots; there are several yellow, skull-like patterns on the jacket and pants. "Natsu," Wendy cheered.

"back off, eyeball," Natsu shouted, "you're dealing with me."

"not you again," Franmalth screamed.

"figures," Lucy muttered, "showing up in the nick of time is sorta your thing." Lucy laughed

"I'm so glad you're okay, Natsu," Happy cheered.

"I owe you one big bro," Wendy called "love you, thanks gotta go by," Wendy said as Carla flew her off in one short breath.

"they'll be okay," Carla said, "come on."

"they left in a hurry," Natsu said

"FACE has already been activated," Lucy said, "there's no time Wendy and Carla will have to stop it on sight."

"don't worry," Natsu said. "Wendy can handle it,"

Franmalth let out a scream as his appearance changed again. His body mass grew rapidly, and his color changed to black and white, so his big, muscular form is reminiscent of Taurus'. His face becomes more rectangular so that its shape is also according to Taurus' head shape.

"what" Happy asked, "why does he look like the cow man."

"did he absorb Taurus," Lucy asked

"you bet," Franmalth smiled, "thanks for summoning rather tasty souls for me to eat," Franmalth laughed "they allow me to take a rather potent revolution," he laughed.

"you will release Taurus and Aries now," Lucy screamed, her magic power leaking out.

"Sorry, but they're part of my collection now," Franmalth told her, "and Might I say what love they have."

"then I'll just rip them out of you," Natsu screamed as he rushed forward as Franmalth turned into Aries.

"Natsu," Aries said as Natsu stopped getting punched away

"that's playing dirty," Happy screamed

"your soul will taste lovely," Franmalth said

"too bad it's not for sell," Natsu screamed as he tried to punch him again.

"Please don't roast my tenderloins," Taurus said as Natsu punched him anyway.

"I can punch him," Natsu screamed

"that still hurts me," Lucy cried

"Aye"

"Fine then," Franmalth screamed "then I'll use the most powerful soul," he shouted as he started to take a familiar shape.

"wait," Natsu said 'I know this feeling," he whispered as Lucy and Happy backed up. It was a feeling they'd never forget, a feeling of terror that was engraved into their minds ever since then.

"This isn't fair," Happy muttered

"Why does he have his soul."
