Chapter 10! Thanks for all the support and tips in order for this thing to happen! There is probably going to be two more chapters of this little arc (including this one.) and I plan on having them up in a week. Enjoy!
I don't own Fairy Tail.
Hanz had left with May, leaving two things to do something about Kiryu and the others. Mira and Elfman were unconscious while Kiryu made it look like he was.
"So what should we do about these guys?" Asked one.
"Hanz told us to do something about them, so I guess we just kill them."
"But that's boring. And that girl is Mirajane Strauss! It would be a shame to kill her!"
"Yeah, but if we don't kill them, they'll cause more trouble."
"Oh well." The first one pulls out handcuffs. "I'm going to go have some fun!" He smiles as he walks to where Mira was laying.
Kiryu had enough of this. He whistles. The two thugs turn to him. All of a sudden, Volk jumped out of his hiding spot, turns into his large form, and begins maul at the first thug, going for his stomach. The second turns to deal with Volk, but Kiryu sweeps his feet with his left leg and kicks him in the head with his right, knocking him out. As Kiryu stands up, he goes to check on Mira.
"Come on! Wake up!"
Mira opens her eyes. She had been beaten badly.
"I'm sorry. They came out of nowhere. And that big guy is dangerous." She says weakly.
Kiryu looks to see Volk chasing the thug away. He goes to stand up but Mira grabs his arm.
"I know you're strong, but be careful with their leader."
Kiryu nods. "Stay here and rest, I'll get May back."
He whistles to Volk, and runs towards the inn. Once there he grabs his sword and quickly looks for his cloak. It is found on the floor a few feet away from the door. Kiryu picks it up and shows it to Volk. The white wolf sniffs it a few times.
"You have a sent?"
Bark!
"Track it boy."
Volk runs out the front door, Kiryu followed close behind.
Mira had crawled all the way to Elfman, who was still unconscious. She shakes him a few times.
"Elfman. You have to wake up." She mumbles.
He stirs for a moment then his eyes open.
"Are you alright sis?" He says slowly sitting up.
"I'm fine, but we need to hurry."
"Why?"
"Kiryu is headed to Black Serpents base."
Elfman clenches his fist. "Those bastards got May. And I wasn't able to help out."
Mira looks at him saddened. "That's not true. You tried your best."
Elfman smiles a little. "I guess so."
He stands up and gently lifts up Mira to her feet. "We should get going. Which way are we going?"
She points to the East. "That way. We should hurry. Kiryu might already be there."
With that, they begin to make their way to the base.
Kiryu had made it to the base, where they hid in the tree line about 50 feet from the entrance. But it was guarded by Black Serpent members. The base was built into the side of a mountain, with only the main door being seen. Kiryu and Volk eyed the door, seeing two men guarding the door. Kiryu looks over to Volk and points to the guard on their right. The wolf knows what needs to happen. They sprung into action, Kiryu taking the guard to the left. The guards didn't notice them until they were right on top of them. Kiryu wrapped his arm around the guards neck to knock him out, while Volk took the throat out of the other. Once this was done they quietly slipped into the base. The base was one huge room, 50 yards long on each side, with two doors leading into other small rooms. The two hide behind a few crates near the entrance. There were about 40 or so men, armed to the teeth. Along the sides of the room were cages, where about 100 children were locked in with shackles on their feet and legs.
These guys make me sick. They won't get away with this. I can't act just yet. I need to form up a plan.
Soon they made their way into one of the small rooms. It had small boxes that seemed to be filled with papers. Kiryu analyzed the papers and noticed each had names and other things about the kids. Kiryu grits his teeth and looks over to a desk with a single paper. He slowly goes to the desk, and lifts up the paper.
Name: May Alexander
Eyes:Blue
Hair:Blonde
Skin:Caucasian
Age:9
Magic: Can grow venomous plants.
Kiryu eyed her magic.
Venomous plants. If anyone got there hands on her, who knows what they would use her for.
Kiryu puts the paper down and Volk begins to growl. He turns to see the huge man, Hanz, standing before him. The man grabs him by the head and throws him out the door with a loud thud. Kiryu skidded about 10 feet out the door to stop. Hanz began to walk out with Volk aggressively attacking his monster sized arms. This doesn't faze him, and he throws the canine with Kiryu. The two begin to stand up and face Hanz. The guards notice and surround them. Hanz takes a step forward.
"Those two idiots. I told them to do one thing, and they fail miserably."
Kiryu says nothing, keeping a poker face.
"I guess you're here for that girl. Black Serpent can get a good penny out of her." He says with a menacing smile.
"Why?" Asks Kiryu.
Hanz raises a brow.
"Why do you do this?"
"Well for something everyone has wanted…….. money."
Kiryu glares at him. "Your greed is going to be your undoing. The new guys from the magic council are going to be here soon."
Hanz laughs. "By the time those idiots get here, we will be long gone! But before we do that……"
The thugs raise their weapons.
"...I think we'll kill you and the mutt!"
The thugs send magic blasts of various kinds towards them, fire, lightning, and other types. Volk quickly grows to his large form, grabs the back of Kiryus jacket collar, and jumps into the air. The blasts hit the ground and some even hit two or three of the thugs.
"Volk, throw me!" Shouts Kiryu.
He throws him towards Hanz with a Cosmic fist ready, only to be caught by the huge man. In response, he throws Kiryu. Thinking quickly he uses one of the thugs in his way as a springboard, and jumps back towards Hanz. Focusing all his magic into his feet, he kicks Hanz in the side of his head. The huge man shakes it off quickly and punches Kiryu into a pile of crates.
Volk dealt with some of the thugs, tearing them apart. After about five or so, he was completely surrounded.
"Come on guys! It's just one wolf!" One of the thugs orders.
They all charge. Volk braced himself, when a purple ball of magic take out a huge amount of them. The thugs turn to see Mirajane in her Satan Soul, and Elfman in his full takeover form. Kiryu looks over to them. "Took you long enough!"
"We'll take care of these guys. You take out the leader!" Says Mira.
The two new combatants run in, trying to take out as many as they can. Elfman takes out three with a swing then turns to Mira.
"Go free the kids!"
Mira nods, transforming into her normal self. She goes to the closest cage to see May sitting in a corner, surrounded by the venomous plants from her magic, and a few other kids. Mira breaks the chain on the door and May runs towards her and embraces her. Mira returns the embrace for a moment then looks at her.
"Run. Get out of here and we'll find you later, okay?"
May nods, motioning to the other kids to leave. They all leave and Mira returns to getting the other children out.
As the battle continued, Kiryu was being beaten badly by Hanz. After a punch to the chest Kiryu slides back. Hanz covers his fis with metal with his magic.
"Why don't you use your sword there? You would probably stand a better chance with it." Hanz laughed.
"If I did, I would probably end up killing you, and I'm not a murderer."
Hanz laughs again. "That's funny! You don't have the strength to even put a scratch on me!"
Kiryu grits his teeth.
Elfman and Volk finish off the rest of the Black Serpent members Mira finishes getting the cages open.
"Is that all?" Asks Elfman.
"Yeah, I think that's all." Mira says.
They hear a metallic punch followed by a grunt. Kiryu was grabbed by the head and taking Hanzs metal fist punches to the gut repeatedly. After the 6th, he throws Kiryu down. The young dragon slayer spits out blood. He laughs for the third time.
"Hahaha! I can't believe you thought you could fight me in a one on one fight! It's truly funny!"
Kiryu begins to stand but falls to his knees. Hanz picks up a long piece of rebar and hold it to his neck.
"It's a shame, Black Serpent could have used someone with your talent. But, after all this, I can't let that happen." He holds the rebar like a spear.
"Kiryu!" Shouts Mira.
"No!" Elfman shouts right after.
Volk begins to rush to Kiryus aid, but is to far away to make it.
Kiryu closes his eyes, ready for what will happen. Hanz thrust, but something slams into Kiryus side.
Volk?
Kiryu laid on his side and looks to his right. May stood where he was, the rebar impaled her through her gut. Kiryu, Mira, and Elfman look in shock. Hanz pulls the rebar out of her, and takes a few steps back. May falls to the ground with a wet thud.
"MAY!!!!!" Shouts Kiryu.
Kiryu and the others go to her limp body as Hanz laughs crazily.
Kiryu looks at May, eyes wide with fear and anger. As of seeing flashbacks, Kiryu sees Lisanna with the wound across her chest. Weakly, May takes off the star necklace that Kiryu got her and put it in his hands.
"Th-th-thank………. Y-y-you." May says, saying her first, and last words. With that May's left arm falls to the ground. Mira, with tears pouring out of her eyes, grabs her right hand, and begins to weep.
Kiryu grips the necklace and slowly puts it in his pocket, still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened. While this was happening, Hanz continued to laugh.
"What a stupid girl!"
Kiryu stands up, looking at the ground. He walks toward him, having no emotion on his face.
The others watch in confusion and in concern.
"You really want to die dont you?" Hanz thrusts the rebar into Kiryus shoulder. He laughs again this time even more crazed.
(Begin Animal I Have Become)
As if something snapped, Kiryus face was filled with rage. With his Cosmic Fist, his fist slammed into Hanz. Hanz flys back letting go of the rebar. Kiryu pulls out the rebar.
"How did you?"
Kiryu rushes forward and grabs the man by his throat with his left hand. With his Cosmic Fist still on, he begins to punch him repeatedly in the face with his free fist. With each punch, blood begins to cover his fist. Hanz grunts with every punch, as if they had the force of a raging bull. Kiryu thrusts his fist into his gut. Hanz was in full rage and he kicked him away by about 15 feet. Kiryu flips and lands on his feet.
"I'll kill you! You damn bastard!"
Kiryu draws his sword and charges with his blade pointed to his opponent. Hanz, dazed by the barrage of punches sees this. As the blade approached, Hanz grabs the blade.
"You don't have the strength!" He says.
From Mays body, a vine grew and stretched towards Hanz. The vine wrapped around his neck, and spores from the plants pop, with neurotoxins being inhaled by him. As if his body had an off switch, he lets go of the blade and it goes through him all the way to the hilt. Hanz coughs up blood. Kiryu pulls his sword out and drops it.
Miras sobs filled the air around them, making the atmosphere feel heavy. Kiryu looks at the siblings, tears in their eyes, Volk laid next to Mays dead body. He then looks at Hanz, then drops to his knees. His hands covered in blood.
No. I didn't….. I didn't want to kill anyone.
He looks back at the body of May.
It's my fault.
That's right. He hears Dragunov.
"Agggggghhhh!" Kiryu yells to the ceiling. The echo had an ominous feel.
Not again.
