Episode 10
When they get there, it's eerily quiet. "I don't like this" says Alyn. "Why not, it's just a little quiet, no big deal" says Raid. A group of cloaked mages appear behind the group. "Stop right there. The mayor will not permit further entry" says one of the mages. "You go on. I'll deal with these mages" says Red. "There's too many, I can't let you-" starts Raid. "She's an S class wizard Raid, these guys aren't nearly on her level" says Winter. Raid reluctantly nods and everyone but Red runs inside the estate. Red's hands flame. "Not a single one of you will get past this point, I do this for my darling" says Red. The group get in, and it looks like a maze. "There are so many directions to go" says Elora. "Then we split up. We can cover more ground that way" says Alyn. Raid sighs. "Hopefully they all lead to the same place. I guarantee they're guarded" says Raid. "There is a problem. 7 paths, 6 of us" says Elora. "Red can get the path we missed" says Winter as she puts her hand on the floor, and an icy arrow points to path on the far right. Everyone nods, and rushes down their separate paths. Raid comes to a big room, and is taken aback by what he sees. Anack stands there and grins. "You know, I was about to come see you "spirit", but you've done me the favor of coming straight to me. Must be my lucky day" says Anack. "Well, this confirms the mayor's involvement" says Raid. "Yeah, the mayor hired me, my guild was happy to comply" says Anack. Raids eyes narrow. "Your part of the dark guild" says Raid. "Yeah, so isn't the mayor. It doesn't matter. You're going to be a member soon enough" says Anack. Raid draws his dark blasters. "I can't lose this time. I know what I'm fighting for" says Raid. Anack pulls out his axe. "I'd like to say you would have saved yourself a lot of pain if you came quietly, but the truth is I would have still beat the shit out of you" says Anack. Crush gets down the hallway and gets slammed into the wall with a mighty punch. Crush looks over to see Monark standing there. "Me smash! You die" yells Monark. Crush stands up from the wall and Cracks his knuckles. Alyn gets a good bit down the hallway, when he runs into Riya. "Are you a member of this dark guild who have been terrorizing these town people" asks Alyn. Riya is looking in a bottle, but glances up at Alyn. "And what if I am" she asks. Alyn's eyes narrow. "Don't try to fool me, I know you aren't. Your emblem suggest you are not" says Alyn. Riya looks down at her hand. "Yeah, I'm not. I'm a member of Mermaid Heel, you know the all girls guild" says Riya looking back to her bottle. "Then why ally yourself with such deplorable people" asks Alyn. Riya gently sets the bottle on the ground. "Most of the big fighters aren't from a dark guild, I'm from Mermaid Heel, Heller is from the Scarlet Swallows, and several others aren't guild affiliated" says Riya. "That doesn't answer my question" says Alyn. Riya smiles. "We have a purpose" says Riya. Alyn nods. "As do we. I hope you don't judge us for doing what me must" says Alyn. Riya puts on a pouty face. "Look, I'm not really in the mood for a fight (grabs the bottle) care for a drink" asks Riya. "I can't, I-" starts Alyn. "Look, how about this, we'll have a drinking contest. You win, you get to go on unharmed, and I get drunk enough to forget my sorrows. I win, and I still get drunk, and I'll draw on your face with a marker" says Riya. Alyn shakes his head. "Aren't you a little too old for such antics" asks Alyn. "Hey, 27 isn't old, besides I need some sort of prize for winning" says Riya. "Fine, but you won't need that marker. I shall be the one to take victory" says Alyn. Riya smiles. "Sounds like my kind of drinking buddy. Too the booze" says Riya. Winter arrives in a room with Shield and Spear. "I don't want to fight you" says Winter. "No, you just want to hurt our master" says Shield. "No, I only want to rescue Yu" says Winter. "That information is not compatible. Information says that you are the ones who hurt the girl, furthermore you have captured and mind controlled 3 celestial spirits. Mission objective, eliminate intruders, and capture the spirits known as Shadow, Blackwing, and Protection, also known under their human aliases, Raid, Crush, and Alyn" says Spear. "Don't you see what you're doing is wrong? You're hurting people! You're master is using you to hurt people who are just trying to live normal lives" says Winter. Spear hesitates. "Assessment accurate...Multiple subjects were attempting to live normal lives" says Spear. "Yes! Don't you see, we're trying to help those people" says Winter. "Don't listen to her lies Spear, master wants to help people, she's just using convenient excuses" says Shield. Spear nods. "Affirmative. Doubts erased, battle mode engaged" says Spear. Winter gets some ice shards ready. "I didn't want to do this, but I won't let you stop me. Time for you to meet the ice princess" says Winter. Lily gets to the end of her hallway, and gets slammed into a wall. "My apologies my dear, we must stop meeting like this, though I do wish you would leave. I don't wish to cause you harm" says Heller. "I don't want to hurt anyone either, but you guys are hurting people, and I can't stand to see that. It's not nice to hurt people" says Lily. "You must see the bigger picture my dear, we have a grand and Noble purpose you know" says Heller. "Nothing justifies hurting people" says Lily. Heller sighs. "I knew you wouldn't understand. I'm afraid the only way either one of us is going to get anywhere is with violence" says Heller. Lily looks down in disappointment. "I suppose so" says Lily. Elora reaches the end of her hallway and sees Kilim. "Oh my, how bothersome. I was hoping for some man candy, instead I get a girl with an angry scowl. Still, you do have a hint of beauty to you, so I shall allow you to do battle with me" says Kilim. Elora draws her sword. "I'm ready when you are, but be warned, I won't hold back" says Elora. Meanwhile, Red stands there unscratched surrounded by a bunch of unconcious and burned cloaked guys. She runs inside, and sees the arrow. She nods and runs down that hallway. When she reaches the end, she sees Icuris standing there. "Well that's unfortunate, still I'm obligated to stop you, for the sake of the world" says Icuris. "I don't care what your motives, you harmed a little girl, someone who can't defend herself (has a quick flashback of her in chains), you harmed my precious darling (has a quick flashback of Raid unconcious in the bed and badly injured), and kidnapped innocent mages, almost including me (has a quick flashback of her and Elora in the cage). You can't be forgiven, I will beat you" says Red as her body starts to flames up. "Yeah, we've done some pretty terrible things, the guilt will follow me for the rest of my life, but it's what it takes to accomplish our goal, I'll take on all the guilt and nightmares the world can throw at me" says Icuris as readies a black flame in his hand. Meanwhile, Raid is getting beat up pretty bad. He's already worn out and bruised up. "Damn, I still don't know what to do. Come on, think" Raid says to himself. "It's hopeless. Your finished runt" says Anack as he swings his axe again. The impact sends Raid flying into a wall, and his sunglasses fall down on his eyes. "What? Why did it get dark all of a sudden? Has the sun gone down" asks Raid. "No, your wearing sunglasses idiot" says Anack. Raid then disappears and reappears somewhere else. "Wow! This is amazing. I can teleport anywhere now, without using the dark" says Raid. "So what its not enough to win" says Anack as he swings again. This time, Raid disappears and appears on the other side of the room, where he shoots Anack from behind. Anack grunts and turns to Raid. Your asking for it punk" says Anack. Raid starts randomly appearing and disappearing in random places. "Wh-where the hell are you" asks Anack. Raid starts firing at random spots at random times. Anack takes more and more damage. "ENOUGH" yells Anack. He holds out his arms, and a huge magical blast happens, sending Raid flying across the room. "I didn't want to have to use this, but you give me no choice" says Anack. He pulls out a black key. Raid's eyes widen. "No! You don't know what those can do" says Raid. "I know they can make me powerful" says Anack as he cuts his finger with his axe. He dips the key in the blood, and his whole body gets surrounded by darkness. When it fades, he looks completely different, he looks like the guy he faced before. "How" asks Raid. "Let me let you in on a little secret, I'm not one person, I'm serveal spirits rolled into one. My spirit name...is Legion" says the guy. Raid narrows his gaze. "Legion, one of the seven keys never recovered" says Raid. "That's correct. I can make several copies of my key with my thoughts all rolled into 1, the main body" says Legion. "Then, you use a host body. When a person, mage or not gets blood on your key, you use their body to take a physical form in this world, until your copy key is taken of the body of the person your controling" says Raid. Legion claps. "You've done your homework, but you forgot something. I take the power of a mage and amplify it. However when it's a non mage my power drastically decreases, as does my intelligence. This fight won't be as easy this time, especially since I'm using an S class wizard as my host" says Legion. "Bring it" says Raid. Legion snaps his fingers, and a bunch of axes appear and start swirling around Legion, creating a ball of spinning axes. "Now you can't attack me at range, and any close range attack is completely useless" says Legion. Raid tries firing some shots, but the axes easily stop them. Then Legion holds up his hand, and a bunch of axes appear and start flying at Raid. Raid dodges axe after axe using his teleportation, but he doesn't have much time to rest between axes. Crush and Monark trade blows back and forth, neither one seeming to give up ground. Crush thinks about his emblem, and Raid, then delivers more harder blows, sending Monark sliding back. Both pant from exhaustion, but stand their ground. Alyn and Riya sit around several empty bottles, with a few unopened ones. "You know, you're alright spirit. You've got...spirit" says Riya. "You sound drunk" says Alyn. "Nah, this contest ain't over until I draw whiskers on your face" says Riya grabbing another bottle. Alyn grabs another as well, and the two take big swigs of their respective bottles. Winter dodges continuous attacks from Spear, but everytime she attack, Shield puts up a barrier. (Winter's inner monologue) "I don't think I can take them alone. Their coordination and teamwork is flawless. It's hard to believe 2 simple spells could be so difficult to overcome, still, everyone is probably fighting way tougher opponents, so I can't give up". Lily keeps throwing simple lightning bolts, but Heller simply redirects them away. "My dear, we my both be S class wizards, but you are to simple minded. That's why we are totally separate classes. Still, I must applaud your resistance. It appears to be difficult for you to control the amps of your magic" says Heller. "How do you know" asks Lily. "My dear, with a magic like mine, control is very much key, and I'm happy to inform you that running away is still an option. We were told to do whatever you wish to the intruders. I shall give you the chance to flee" says Heller. " I can't. I'm a member of Fairy Tail, and I will never give up. We fight back against the odds and destroy destiny if we have too" says Lily. Heller sighs. "Ah, foolhardy girl. Perhaps more redirection will help you change your mind" says Heller. Elora continuously slashes at Kilim with her sword, but Kilims sword like fingers easily protect him. Kilim yawns. "This is pointless. Your skills are obviously inferior to my abilities. Surrender now" says Kilim. "Never" says Elora. Kilim smirks and shatters Elora's sword blade. "If you continue this futile resistance, I'll be forced to end your life, and I'd rather not stain my beautiful blades" says Kilim. Elora scowls at Kilim. Red dodges some black fireballs from Icuris. "Why are you even here? This is private property" asks Icuris."I'm here to put a stop to this whole operation" says Red. "Why do you care" asks Icuris. "I'm not here to answer questions" says Red. Icuris sighs. "Fine, let's just get this over with" says Icuris. Meanwhile, Raid continuously dodges axes from Legion's onslaught, until an axe handle slams him in the gut and sends him flying. "Even with your teleportation you can't stand against me" says Legion. Raid clenches his fist. A flashback of everyone he's fighting for flies through his mind, then he feels Winter's spirit. He looks over to see his arm being iced over with an obsidian black ice. "What's happening" asks Raid. The ice stops after it consumes Raid's left side, with his right side still normal. "Die" yells Legion as an axe flies at Raid. Raid holds up his hand, and a pillar of black ice shoots from the ground protecting him. Raid looks down at his hand and smiles. "I don't know what this is, and I don't really need too. I just need it to work" says Raid. "What the hell? How did you do that" asks Legion. "I'm not sure myself" says Raid.
"Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. Ice can be shattered" says Legion. More axes fly at Raid, but he swings his ice arm, and a bunch of ice shards fly and hit the axes, knocking them down. Another axe flies at Raid and shatters his ice arm. "Ha, let's see you-" starts Legion. The ice arm grows right back. "I didn't even feel it" says Raid looking at his ice arm. Legion looks mad. "Fine! I'll just hit you with everything I have" says Legion. A bunch of axes appears everywhere around him, then fly towards Raid. Raid slams his ice hand down on the ground, and a huge wave of ice flies from the ground, pinning Legion, and destroying the axes. "You'll...pay for this...shadow" says Legion. Legion disappears and Anack turns back to normal. The ice retracts, turning Raid back to normal. He looks down at his arm in suprisment, it's completely unharmed. Crush and Monark both look tired, but Crush rushes up and unleashes a flurry of dash punches straight into Monarks gut, then jumps and does a spinning kick to Monarks face, knocking him out cold. Crush lands on the ground and smirks, then proceedes down the hallway. Alyn and Riya both have one bottle left. "Give up, Y-You can't beat...m-(hick) me" says Alyn. He looks over to see Riya has fallen asleep. "I win, now I must (hick) take a nap" he says as he passes out next to her. Riya opens her eyes and smiles. "Damn, looks like I lost. I'm sure the others have this. I better make this guy a hangover drink. He's definitely going to need it" says Riya. Winter stands there battered and bruised. "I-I can't…they're too strong. Their teamwork is flawless" says Winter. All of a sudden, a flurry of bullets fly past Winter and hit Shields barrier. Then, Winters wounds start healing. She turns to see, Cotton standing there with Loyd, the doctor, and Regnis. "What are-" starts Winter. "I brought reinforcements" says Cotton. "What can I say, that guy touched my heart by saving the strays of the town, so I'll help" says the doctor. "I'm with y'all. I ain't going down again I ain't" says Loyd. "Ah, the battlefield. It makes me feel 20 years younger, which is still quite old mind you" says Regnis. "You really think this rag tag team can take us" asks Shield. "We fight for what's right, so we won't lose! We're going to save the townspeople" says Cotton. "The townspeople are in danger" asks Spear. "Of course not, our master wouldn't dare" says Shield ."Oh yeah, I have proof" says Kitsui as she walks in and tosses down a folder. Spear turns to Shield. "I believe them Shield. Why would the townspeople attack us if we're helping them" asks Spear. "No no no no! I can't accept-" starts Shield. Spear gives her a hard punch to the stomach, which knocks Shield out. "Apologies, but I must do what's right. Sleep well sister" says Spear as she gently sets Spear down on the ground. "Let's continue" says Winter. The group nod and run down the hallway. Lily lays on the ground. "Your magic is no use. No single attack can take me. It's useless" says Heller Lily looks upset. "Now I must go deal with your friends" says Heller. Lily's eyes widen. "Don't hurt my friends" yells Lily. "I'd rather not, but if they insist, I shall have no choice in the matter" says Heller. Lily stands up and looks serious. "I won't let you lay a finger on my friends" says Lily. "And what are you going to do" asks Heller. Lily's body starts sparkling. "Please, I can redirect magic, it's hopeless" says Heller. "LIGHTNING GOD, ULTIMATE DISCHARGE" yells Lily. The whole rooms gets hit with several lightning bolts. Heller is unable to redirect them all and continuously gets zapped, the more lightning that his Lily, the stronger her attacks get. Eventually Heller lays on the ground, completely numb from all the lightning attacks. Lily falls down on the ground. "I'm sorry guys. I can't go on, I'm out of magic" says Lily. Kilim grins at Elora. "Ready to throw in the bucket? Your terribly outmatched, even if you magicly requip another sword, your doomed" says Kilim. Elora looks mad. "I didn't want to have to use this, but as the daughter of Erza Scarlett, I'll show you my mother's power" says Elora. Kilim yawns. "REQUIP" yells Elora. A suit of black and red armor appears, with a huge black and red sword. "Oh please, that armor makes you look desperate honey. Wear something that covers more than your chest and naughty bits next time" says Kilim. Elora propells with extreme speed, and with a mighty swing of her sword, shatters Kilims nails. "My beautiful nails! You've ruined them" says Kilim. Elora narrows her gaze. Kilim stands up, and his fist turn into the same material that his nails were. "So that's how your magic works" says Elora. "Oh, were you curious? All you needed to do was ask" says Kilim. "It doesn't matter now. I'll end you! REQUIP" says Elora. Her armor transforms into a golden plate, in on of her hands is a shield, and in the other is a mace. "What do you plan to do with that" asks Kilim. "This" says Elora as she throws the mace with extreme strength and it bashes Kilims nose, knocking him out cold. Elora's armor disappears and she looks down in defeat. "You so owe me big time for this Raid" says Elora as she rushes down the hallway. Red and Icuris are in a flame deadlock. "Damn, what is this magic? It's incredible" says Icuris. "That's not magic, that's my feelings" says Red. The two break the deadlock. "What's that supposed to mean" asks Icuris. "I'm doing this for my darling, so I'm pouring my emotions into my flames. You don't even know what you're fighting for do you" asks Red. "I-" starts Icuris. "If you don't believe what your fighting for, allow me to show you why that is. If you don't believe me, or it's not enough we can still fight. I'll have no problem taking you on" says Red. Icuris puts down his hands. "Fine, those sound like reasonable terms" says Icuris. Red and Icuris make their way down the hallway.
Episode 11
Raid makes it down the hallway, and into a big chamber. He looks over to see the passages all lead here. "Good. The others should be here soon" says Raid. Crush comes running out of the next hallway. The two high-five. "That's far enough. You shan't go further" says a voice from the other side of the room. Raid and Crush look over to see the man from the restaurant standing there. "What are you doing here" asks Raid. "I should be asking you that. This is my home" says the man. "So you're-" starts Raid. "Yes, I'm the mayor. It's good to see you again young man" says the mayor. Raid drops his shadow blasters in surprisment. "What is it that you are doing here" asks the mayor. Raid shakes his head, grabs his blasters, and points them at the mayor. "Where is Yu" asks Raid. "I'm afraid I don't know who you mean" says the mayor. "The little girl I told you about! Your lackys took her" says Raid. "I see. That's unfortunate. I'm afraid I can't give her back then" says the mayor. "Why not" asks Raid. "She is needed to save the world" says the mayor. "What's that supposed to mean" asks Raid. Crush cracks his knuckles, but Raid holds out his arm to stand down. "I was fortold about an incoming invasion. Several thousand beings of complete darkness are coming to this world. Of they come, humanity stands no chance in their current state. They need to be strengthened, both mentally and physically. I've been producing these (pulls out a black key, and Raid's eyes widen). These enhance a wizards abilities by a vast amount,if everyone get one, then there is no way even a single human life will be lost" says the mayor. "Do you even realize what those are?! Those contain the very things you plan to destroy! How did you even get one, let alone all those? The black keys haven't been in the human world for a very long time" says Raid. "My associate gave them to me. I'm aware that what you say is true, but they obey my associate, so we'll fight fire with fire, only better" says the mayor. "Is that why you're kidnapping people alongside a dark guild" asks Raid. The mayor looks concerned, but shakes his head. "It's for the good of the people. I shall pay for whatever has been done in my name, but I must save humanity first" says the mayor. "Hurting people to save humanity makes no sense! You just become the new threat" says Raid. The mayor draws his sword. "Then let us see who's will is stronger young man. Remember what I told you? It's time to put it into practice" says the mayor. Raid puts on his sunglasses and disappears. He reappears and disappears around the mayor several times, but the mayor never once flinches. Raid stops and fires a hail of bullets at the mayor, but the mayor swings his sword and they all disappear. "That's pretty good, but not good enough. I have no magic, so all my skill has gone into the sword. See the resolve of my will" says the mayor. He goes to slash Raid, but Crush slams into the mayor, sending him flying. The mayor looks at Crush's eyes and nods. "I see the desire in your eyes to protect your friend, and felt it on my side. Very well, I shall fight both of you at once" says the mayor. Raid and Crush both smile and fist bump each other. "Wrong choice. Me and Crush are an unstoppable team together" says Raid. They both smile. Raid smiles, and Crush dashes forward, throwing several attacks together. The mayor dodges them all, and tries to return attacks, but Crush catches the sword between his thumb and index finger, and punches the mayor with his other hand, then while the mayor is stunned Raid appears behind him and unleashes another hail of shots. The mayor dodges, hoping the shots would hit Crush, but the two smile, and a Blackwing comes out of Crush's back, and swings. The shots then get redirected to the mayor. (The mayor's inner monologue) "Their teamwork is outstanding. It's as though they have complete faith in one another". Raid disappears again, but this time Crush stands still. The mayor looks around for Raid. For a moment nothing, then a shot comes from over Crush's shoulder. The mayor looks over to see Raid on the other side of the room, the shot flew right past, near milometers away from Crush's face, and he didn't even flinch. "Obviously the small on is the tank of the team" says the mayor as he charges at Crush with lightning speed. He goes to slam the sword down on Crush, but Raid appears in front of Crush and crosses her duel blasters together and using them to shield them both. Then Crush flicks the sword, and the blade flies off. "In all my time, I've never seen such teamwork and dedication. You two are a force to be reckoned with, but sadly (pulls out a knife and goes to stab Raid, but Crush realizes and pushes Raid out of the way, taking the hit instead) it must come to an end" says the mayor. "Crush! Crush! Don't die on me man" yells Raid as he tears up and catches Crush as he falls. Crush looks Raid in the eyes. "Yeah no dip ow! You just got stabbed" says Raid. Crush holds up an okay sign with his hand. "Man, I don't know what you Blackwings are made of, but I'm glad. I can't lose you now pal" says Raid hugging Crush. Crush roles his eyes. "I-I am not overly emotional, and why did you call me your mother" asks Raid. Crush smiles. "Don't clan up on me now" yells Raid. The mayor just stares at the two. "I seem to have lost myself. This kind of friendship is what I was fighting to protect" says the mayor. "Then-" starts Raid. "I surrender" says the mayor tossing away the knife. "Oh I'm glad. All this fighting has given me a headache...or maybe it's just a hangover" says a voice. The group turn to see Riya standing there. "So...everything I did...it was for nothing" says another voice. The group turn to see Icuris and Red standing there. "Not for nothing. You fought for what you believed, I'm just sorry to have failed you all. I was too blinded by my own desires" says the mayor. "No, I still believe in our cause. We just need to do it a new way, a better way" says Icuris. "Ah, so we missed all the action" says another voice. The group turns to see Winter's group. "Wh-What are you guys doing here" asks Raid. "Answer, master ordered me to guard the mayor's mansion-" started Spear. "Uh, pretty sure he was talking to us" says the doctor. Spear nods. "Affirmative" she says. "Ah, I could of taken him. I've never met a youngster who could best old Regnis" says Regnis. "I have made it" says another voice. The group turns to see Elora. "So, I've got a question. Why did you put Legions key in that old box" asks Raid. "Who's Legion? And what box" asks the mayor. Raids eyes widen. "You mean that wasn't you" asks Raid. "No" says the mayor. "Crap, and he said he didn't have Yu either. That means...this fight isn't over yet" Raid says to himself. "Where is everyone else" asks Cotton. "I defeated Kilim" says Elora. "The bearded man is sleeping off our drinking competition" says Riya. "Anack and Legion are both down on my end" says Raid. Crush looks at Raid. "Oh, Crush says Monark is down" says Raid. "Then Lily and Heller are still missing" says Winter. "I shall go look for them" says Elora. (Raid's inner monologue) "Damn, why do I feel like something really bad is about to happen".
Episode 12
Soon after, the doctor heals everyone, then everyone gets brain blasted. "Awe that'idn't feel good i'didn't" says Loyd. "Echo! What the hell" yells Icuris. "Yeah, my head's already killing me, what gives" says Riya grabbing her head. Echo walks in followed by Appa. "It's okay Appa, we've surrendered. It's over" says Icuris. "Yes master, I believe we have done wrong and as such-" starts Spear. "Silence! Nothing is over! Looks like my plan failed, but I shall set it back on track" says Appa. "No, I appreciate the warning about the invasion, but this has gone too far" says the mayor. Appa laughs. "Did you honestly think I wanted to save the humans? (Raids eyes widen) I'm a celestial spirit" says Appa. Raid clenches his fist. "I see we're missing the diamond key spirit, still I have 2 black keys, now my brothers, help me get rid of this evidence" says Appa. "I'm no brother of yours, I'm going to stop you" says Raid. Crush nods. "Ah, the gate of shadows, key number 17. This should be interesting. Why fight me? You wear human flesh, but deep down, you're pure darkness" says Appa. "That's not true! Darling is a good man" says Red. "Is he now? Is that why he has been lying to you all" asks Appa. "No, he told us he was a spirit, so you're wrong" says Winter. "And did he tell you about Anya" asks Appa. Raid clenches his fist. Everyone looks at Raid but says nothing. "You leave her out of this you jackass" yells Raid as he fired several shots at Appa. Appa stands there unscratched. "It doesn't really matter. If you wish to fight me, then you can die as the human you pretend to be" says Appa. "Where's Yu? What's your goal? How did you even get to this world" asks Raid. Appa smiles. "My goal? It's to help the black key army take over this pathetic world! But in order to explain further, you must know my true name (pulls out a black key)". "That's Legion's key! How did-" starts Raid. "We are many. I am the true celestial spirit Legion, as you've seen, I can make many copies of my key. I'm one of the black 7" says Appa. "What's...the black 7" asks Winter. "They are the 7 black keyed spirits that the diamond keys never took back to the celestial world. My plan was to hand my keys out to everyone, using the assistance of the mayor, a man known for his honor and wisdom. They would allow me to control several humans at will, I took the liberty of taking control of poor Echo here first. I hired a dark guild with powerful wizards, and a common street gang to kidnap townspeople, then using Echos power, combined with my abilities, I can gain complete control of them, I was going to use them as cannon fodder for the front lines in the war. However, some people just couldn't be controlled. Now, I've explained my plan, and you are going to die" says Appa. Keller, Monark, Kilim, and Anack walk in with their eyes glowing green. "Meet my newest slaves, but they aren't alone (holds his hand to the ground, and several Legions pop up from the ground) they've got reinforcements" says Appa. "I don't think so, black windstorm" says Riya holding out her arm. A bunch of black leaves and petals slash a bunch of Legions, but they seem overall unslowed. "Demonic flame chaos blast" says Icuris. The black flame shoots from his hand and hits the Legions, but they just spawn more. Regnis draws his sword, and everyone but Raid and Crush fight the mind controlled people and Legions. Crush propels himself forward and delivers several mighty blows to Appa, but Appa flicks Crush away. Raid continuously fires at him, but gets nowhere. Then Appa puts the key on his chest, which sinks in and disappears. "The more you fight, the more I learn, the more I learn, the better we fight! We are Legion! We are unstoppable" says Appa. "I've...got a crazy idea" says Raid. Crush looks at Raid. "Just go with it pal. I need you to distract him" says Raid. Crush nods and with no hesitation, blast himself forward, and rapidly unleashes a flurry of relentless attacks, which don't phase Appa at all. Appa punches Crush, which send him flying back into the wall, but Raid appears where Crush was in front of Appa, and touches the spot the key was. Raid then disappears, and reappears in an all dark place. "What...is this place? Did it work" asks Raid. "So, you teleported into my key. What's your plan from here" says Legion materializing himself. "I beat you" says Raid. "You and what army" asks Legion. Raid slaps his forehead. "Don't make puns about yourself in a serious battle" says Raid. Legion laughs and summons an army. "Glad you caught the pun. I'll make sure to kill you nice and slow" says Legion. "I don't think so, in here I have an advantage you don't" says Raid. "Oh? And what might that be" ask Legion in unison. "The darkness" says Raid as he disappears. He reappears and holds out his hand. "Dark bullet" says Raid as several shots of darkness shoot from his hand and hit Legion. The Legion it hit disappears. "And here thought thought you couldn't surprise me anymore, the teleportation, the ice, now you have actual magic" says Legion. "Yeah, but I can only use dark bullet in pure darkness, and that's right now" says Raid as he holds out his hand again. "Dark bullet hailstorm" says Raid. Several dark bullets rain down from every which way taking out several Legions left and right. Meanwhile in the outer world. "Aye, lookie'are. What's happening to'em" asks Loyd. Appa is sweating and looks like he's hurting. "I don't know, but whatever it is, it's weakening them. Now's our chance to strike back" says Icuris. An attack flies at Spear, but is stopped by a barrier. Spear looks back to see Shield standing there. They smile at each other. "Oh dang, all this fightings gonna throw my back out. Martha's gonna be pissed" says Regnis. Raid is in the key, continuously wiping out several Legions at once, when he finally hits the last one. "(Pant) I think...I got him" says Raid. Appa appears in the key world. "Fine, I shall fight you in my true form. No more messing around. Can't beat me here, this is my world" says Appa. A darkness explosion send Raid flying back, Appa then claps his hands together, and a huge wave impacts Raid and sends him flying further back. As Appa goes to land a finisher, he gets and impact from outside, making him wince in pain (shows Crush throwing everything he has into clobbering Appa from the outside). Raid smiles and puts his hand directly into Appa's face. "Dark bullet, ultimate move. Death shot" says Raid. A single small shot shoots from Raid's hand and rips through Appa's head. Then Raid suddenly appears in the real world, and Appa lays there holding his chest. The key falls out, and snaps in two. "That's impossible! I am Legion! I am-" starts Appa. Hey suddenly fades away. "And back to the celestial world you go" says Raid. Echo falls to the ground. "ECHO" yells Icuris as he runs up and grabs her. "Its finally over" says Raid with a sigh. "Not entirely, there's something we still have to do" says Winter. Raid nods. Soon after, they find a room, and open it up to see a bunch of people in cages. "Now that Legion is gone, they shouldn't be mind controlled anymore" says Regnis. Raid opens the cage, and people run out, then Yu runs up and grabs Raid's leg. "I'm sorry Yu, but your safe now" says Raid. Yu holds up her arms, and Raid puts her on her shoulders. Crush smiles at Raid. "Yeah, I guess I do kinda owe you one don't I" asks Raid. After a bit, the group meet outside, with a newly revived Lily, and a now awoken Alyn. "It's been fun, stop by anytime" says the doctor as he walks away. "I'll see you youngsters some other time. Let me know when you need a good old person story, I think my combat days are behind me after today" says Regnis as he walks away. "I'm going back to the guild now, I'll catch you later handsome" says Kitsui as she rubs Raids face and walks away. "I've got something t'do" says Loyd as he walks away. "What will you guys do" asks Alyn looking at the former bad guys. "Return to our respective guilds. It's been real though, Fairy Tail definitely has an okay in my book now" says Icuris. "I shall retire from being mayor. I plan to live out my life helping those I've harmed with my actions" says the mayor. Raid puts his hand on the mayor's shoulder. "The best thing you can do is stay mayor. Do what you can to help people with the power you have" says Raid. The mayor chuckles. "And to think, I was the one giving YOU advice before. Thank you my friend. Your guild will always be welcome in this town" says the mayor. The former badies and the mayor walk away, leaving only Raid, Crush, Winter, Red, Elora, Alyn, Lily, Cotton, and Yu. "So, about what Appa said...about Anya" says Red with a hint of jeliousy. Raid looks troubled by it. "I do not believe he is ready to share that information" says Alyn. Raid sadly nods. "That's okay, you'll tell us when you're ready" says Lily. Everyone nods. "Thanks guys" says Raid. "I'm hungry Raid, I never got to eat your food" says Yu. "Let's go out for pancakes" says Elora. "Pancakes? It's past lunch time" says Cotton. "Raid, I want pancakes" says Yu. Crush nods. Raid sighs. "Guess we're going out for pancakes" says Raid. The group start walking off. (Raids inner monologue) "And that's the story of how I joined the guild that changed my life forever, but I had no idea the adventures that awaited me".
