Diana's POV
"Let's go!"
Sting, Rogue and I all shot forward to fight the King of Hades, Mard Geer.
"How amusing, you really think you can defeat me." Mard smirked dodging my punch.
"I know we can." I glared.
The three of us punched wildly at the demon king but he blocked us easily, like he wasn't even trying.
"White Dragon Roar!"
Mard Geer raised one hand and warped the laser away.
"HYA!"
In an instant Mard turned around and blocked Rogue's claw.
"Hmm."
Mard flicked his wrist and set off a massive explosion.
"Rock Dome!"
I lifted the ground and covered our heads.
"I cannot stand that feeble humans think they can control Dragon Slayer magic." Mard Geer snarled.
"You know what I can't stand?" Sting said "That you tried to kill my friend!"
"RAHHH!"
We went back in.
How is he so strong, he's blocking three people at once, and he's treating it like a game…
"Sand Dragon Diamond Drill!"
Dust swirled around my hand and I tried digging into Mard's chest. He put his hand up and blocked my attack.
"I see now, why Kyouka likes to play with you humans so much." He almost chuckled.
"You best take us seriously." I growled.
"Do you think that Death awaits you, will you die here? Your actions to this point are led by feelings is that it?" Mard Geer mumbled "You don't realize how weak you are, how foolish. It's almost funny."
His power…he just got even stronger.
Lauren's POV
"Sun Dragon Style: Quasar Roundhouse!"
Tempester blocked my kick with his arm and I flipped over him.
"Dazzling Heels!"
I drilled his back with multiple quick kicks but he grabbed me and threw me back.
"Damn this guy's a pain in my ass." I landed on my hands and flipped back up.
"Enough of all this." Fish face said letting off energy "I'm done messing around."
"Oh look boys." I smirked "They're finally taking us seriously."
"Then I guess-"
"We'll need to get serious too!" I yelled.
"Iron Shadow Mode!"
"Melt under the Sun: Solar Light!"
At light speed I was forward, kicking my opponent across the room. My body let off a faint glow and a warming light.
"Let me show you the true arts of my Fighting Style." I smirked.
Kanji's POV
With help from Minerva and a little mushroom thing we found the control room for the FACEs.
"There he is, the chairman." I pointed.
The old fart was tapping away on a keyboard, Erza went in there to stop him, put she only got a few steps before everyone's body locked up.
"I can't move." I hissed.
"My body!"
Erza's arm went up and started chocking herself out "GAHHH!"
Someone is playing us, I can feel my nerves trying to send signals.
"This is the power of my Macro."
I managed to turn my head to the door, there were two women there, a tall blonde-haired lady, and a black-haired teenager with horns on her head.
"Seilah." Minerva hissed.
"Kyouka." I growled.
"Impossible, the Chairman…"
"He is long dead." Seilah explained "My skills with the dead are nothing compared to Keyes, but they will suffice for now."
"With this we can keep the plan moving forward." Kyouka explained.
"You're going to turn them all on!" I yelled "You bitch!"
"Your story will end here." Seilah sighed.
"Do you see now?" Kyouka glared "What it means to be helpless, do you understand how we feel. To be unable to do anything to the forces controlling you, you are helpless to this as you are helpless to fate."
What is she…?
"RAHHHHH!"
The curse broke when Seilah was tackled by another demon.
"Mirajane!"
"Mira!"
"Sorry I'm late." Mira smiled "But that's all I have left."
"You did good Mira." I smiled turning into lightning and flashing in.
"Seilah!" Kyouka ran to the girl's side.
"My deepest apologies I'm out of power."
"You did great." Kyouka said hugging the girl "Just leave this to me."
"You will return us to his side correct." The black haired demon smiled.
"Of course my sweet…"
"This is the final countdown!" I yelled
"It's up to you…"
"Erza, Kanji…." Mira groaned.
"Mo…Kyouka…"
"We will stop FACE!"
"I will kill you both here!"
"RAHHHH!" Kyouka dashed forward, a killing intent in her eyes "You will not get in my way!"
The air around me rippled and before I could even get ready to attack.
*CAW!*
"HERA!"
A bird suddenly plummeted from the sky and crashed into Kyouka's face.
"MY EYES!" she sung her arms around.
A bird came down again and clawed at Kyouka's face.
"Boy the air sure is tense." a voice said.
We all turned to the hole in the ceiling.
"Sorry I'm late; air traffic was a little heavy." Harver smiled.
"Help's appreciated." I smirked.
Kyouka stared up and looked pale like a ghost.
"Harver."
The man floated to the floor already in his harpy form.
"The years have been better to you than I thought." Harver smiled "Hey Love."
Kyouka smirked "Still as smart mouthed as ever, Dear."
The aura's coming off these two was intense, I felt like the air was going to rip open.
"RAHHH!"
They both ran forward and started clawing at each other with talons.
"HARVER!"
"KYOUKA!"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
The two clawed and hacked at each other, it seemed like time stood still as two people, who said they loved each other, attacked with such murderous intent.
What the hell happened to these two?
No one's POV
This is a story about two people, who above nothing else loved each other. Love brought them together, and love tore their hearts apart. This is and isn't a love story. It's a tale of two people, ripped apart by the cruel strings of fate…
Our story begins, Seventeen years ago…
This is the story of Harver Quatro and Kyouka Yamizuchi.
Harver's POV
17 years ago…
I looked forward, entranced at the beautiful blonde-haired woman before me.
"Harver, do you take Kyouka to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Kyouka, do you take Harver to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Then by the power invested in me by the nation of Fiore, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Harver Quatro. You may now kiss the bride."
"Mmmmm…" I leaned down and kissed the woman before me.
Kyouka and I have been best friends since we were just kids, we started dating around fifteen and have been together ever since, and on the day of her eighteenth birthday, I asked her to marry me. I'm two years older than her but that changes nothing.
We had a reception with our two families, and then night fell and we went away for our honeymoon.
"Harver…" Kyouka smiled at me, her beautiful blonde hair cascading over her shoulders "I love you."
"I love you too my dove." I said kissing her "I wouldn't have married you otherwise, or maybe just to keep your dad happy."
"Jerk."
"I'm kidding!" I laughed.
"If you really love me." Kyouka gently kissed me "Prove it…"
Next Morning.
"Harver get up." Kyouka said "I didn't break you did I?"
"No I'm fine." I said sitting up.
"I'm going for a run do you want to come?" she asked.
"You go I'm gonna shower." I said.
Kyouka kissed me "I'll be back in a bit, Love you."
"Love you too."
I watched Kyouka leave and got in the shower. When I got out I was surprised to see she wasn't back yet…and then an hour passed…and another…and when the third hour started I got worried.
I went out and started asking around for Kyouka. I followed the path people said she took, and that when I found it, the blood and pieces of her shirt.
"Kyouka…Kyouka!"
I called for help but no one could find her…I looked for weeks, quit my job at the aviary, moved from place to place but nothing.
Kyouka's POV
Some Time Later…
"Ugh!" I grunted when I fell to the ground.
"Oh she's done…"
Where am I…Harver?
I looked up and came face to face, with a man with scaly skin and a young child with rabbit like ears.
"You still alive?" the scaly man asked.
"AHHH!" I backed away from him and that's when I felt it.
I looked down at my hands, my fingers were long and sharp like talons, and my arms had some sort of feathers on them, as did my ears.
This has to be a nightmare…what happened to me?!
The rabbit girl told me what happened…that's when I remembered, I was out for a run and was attacked, then it all went black. They said I was now part of a dark guild called Tartarus; they're job was to kill Zeref.
"I'm not helping you with anything, fix me so I can go home!" I yelled.
"You don't get it." The demon called Torafuzar said "You've been asleep for six months."
"What?"
"Anyone who cared about you thinks you're dead." He told me flatly.
Harver…
"Besides." The rabbit waved me over to another tank "Even if you left, you wouldn't leave her behind would you?"
I looked at one of these tanks, inside…was a small child, an infant that couldn't possible survive outside the womb.
"No…it can't be…" I felt my stomach and saw a scar.
"Yup." Torafuzar started to walk away "They cut it out of you before you got in the tank…she's yours, she doesn't have a name yet for now they've just been calling her Gate number four. Even if you took her with you, the powers in her body would run rampant and she'd die, she has to stay here till she can manage her own power."
"You were chosen for a reason Kyouka." Torafuzar said "You are the third Demon gate; you were selected for the infusion because you are a premier researcher in evolution."
I started sobbing and the other demon left me there. I put my hand on the tank.
There was no doubt…this small child, was my daughter. I just…I just knew.
"You need a name." I smiled "Harver and I…we…we always picked out a name for our first daughter, we had a friend who got sick growing up, and she didn't make it so we wanted to name our first after her…"
"Your name is Seilah."
Harver's POV
Two years later.
"Hey look it's the drunk again."
I lifted my head off the bar and threw a shot glass at someone.
"Fuck you." I spat.
I got pushed off the bar and started getting beat up by the punks loitering around. I didn't bother to fight back, what as the point…I'm a loser who lost his wife in one day of marriage, I just wanted to die.
One of the guys got ready to punch me, and then his chest, and the men next to him, ripped open with a long white magic chain.
"AGGGHHAAA!"
The men ran out, I was stunned they weren't dead.
"You are Harver Quatro correct?"
I looked up and saw a man, he was old, long white beard, eyepatch, his magic felt off that charts. He was accompanied by a woman, somewhere close to my age with long black hair.
"What'd you care?" I grumbled.
"I have a job to offer you, a position within my guild."
"I ain't working." I said turning away to leave
"I know where Kyouka Yamizuchi is."
I grabbed the man by the shirt.
"Tell me now!"
The woman with him grabbed my hand "Calm down please it is more complicated than you think."
"You better start talking old man."
This man went by Hades, the woman was Ultear. Hades told me that Kyouka was alive; she was a prisoner of a dark guild called Tartarus, a guild of demons.
Kyouka is trapped with demons
"I can offer you a way to save her." Hades said "The One Magic, Zeref created the demons and he can tell you how to cure her, the job is simple, help us find him."
"I'll do it…" I said standing up.
I'll do whatever it takes.
"Very well, Ultear give our new friend the book."
"Yes Master."
I looked at it.
"The Arc of the Sky: Bird Summoning Magic"
A year later.
"Old man this better be good." I growled tapping my foot angrily.
"This alliance is key to our future Harver." Ultear smirked.
"I ask that you just remain calm." Master Hades said "I know you want to see her again, but at this stage there is nothing you can do, do not make a scene."
"Whatever."
"Are you sure you want to be here?" Ultear asked "If she does come…"
"What." I glared.
"Are you sure you can handle seeing what she has become?" she asked me, her voice was sincere and filled with concern.
I didn't answer.
We were at a safe house, meeting with two other dark guilds, Tartarus and the Oracion Sies; we were supposed to form an alliance, to deter the light guilds from picking fights.
The door opened and a man walked in, he was covered in tattoos, and carried a walking staff, with him were two kids, barely teenagers, a boy who looked half asleep, and a kid with reddish hair and a bad attitude.
"Brain."
"Hades…"
Master and this other guy threw a few insults mostly about babysitting.
"Are the humans bickering already?" the door opened again and in walked a man with black hair, just being around him made me feel sick.
He was accompanied by two people as well, a bulky man with scales…and a woman, who looked to be half bird.
I didn't say anything during the whole meeting, I just stared, totally stunned. Kyouka, she wouldn't even look at me.
I have to save her…
Kyouka's POV
I could feel Harver boring a hole in me with his eyes. I couldn't bring myself to break his heart and smile back. I had heard he was working with Grimoire Heart, but I didn't want to believe it.
I knew he loved birds, but the way he stared.
He must think I'm a freak and how could he ever love a freak I can't even bring myself to tell him about Seilah, I can't destroy his heart like that…
Torafuzar said that once we kill Zeref, we'll be cleansed and I can return to normal…
Back in the Present
No one's POV
"Because I love her."
"Because I love him."
"I can't bring myself to see her suffer as that."
"I can't bring myself to see him suffering with me like this."
"On that day I made my promise."
"On that day I made my promise."
"For her sake…"
"For his sake…"
"I'd rather her have to die than live like that."
"I'd rather him die than suffer like that."
"So until I find Zeref…"
"So until I kill Zeref…"
"I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!"
And so, two people, who loved each other more than anything else, were willing to kill the person they loved, just to keep them from suffering.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
