Chapter 24: Demon's Fun
Night Raid team's Mine, Leone, and Akame with Fairy Tail wizards Natsu, Wendy, Lucy, Happy, and Carla on their way to wipe out Wild Hunt.
Leone was cracking her knuckles. "Ha, I can't wait to break those bastards bones."
Natsu shared her feeling. "Yeah, I can't wait to take on those jerks."
Just then there was an explosion. "That must be Wild Hunt."
Natsu ran off quickly. "Let's kick some their asses!"
Lucy giggled with sweatdrop. "He hasn't changed."
Mine scoffed. "He's more of an idiot than Tatsumi."
Wendy did a sweatdrop. "I just realized somehow they're quite alike."
Carla sighed. "This is awkward."
As they arrived to see two of the Jaegers on the ground seriously injured.
"Are those the Jagger guys?" Natsu asked.
"Its Jaegers idiot." Mine muttered.
"Sounds like our targets Wild Hunt is also the target of the Jaegers." Carla guessed.
Leone observed the Jaegers conditions. "Sounds like blonde and the twerp isn't going to last much longer if Wild Hunt keeps this up."
Wendy and Natsu looked down gazing at Kurome and Run remembering what Gajeel, Levy, and Taran told them about Run including what their friends the Take Over Siblings told them about Kurome and Akame's story.
Flashback.
Team Natsu was talking with their Guildmates in the dining room.
"Run is planning to change this Empire within after his students will killed." Gajeel explained.
"Yes, Akame mentioned other people tried that before but only to get themselves killed." Levy added.
"Yes, but Run doesn't want to believe that." Taran said with sigh.
"Akame said "she left the Empire after seeing such deep darkness within." Elfman explained.
"Kurome stayed behind cause leaving the Empire would be betrayal to their falling comrades and current comrades would become enemies." Mirajane added.
"Kurome using her Imperial Arms to control people she killed including a man named Natala." Lisanna stated with concern. "In my opinion, she mustn't want to move forward."
Flashback ends
Wendy looked at Run who was laying down on the ground. "(Run must've suffered so much from his loose, hearing that Kurome and Akame are sisters but learning they want to kill each other, its horrible.)"
Leone found this interesting. "Ok, its likely one of the Jaegers won't last much, so Team Natsu all of you-" She stopped seeing the Natsu and his friends weren't besides them.
"Uh oh." Mine pointed towards the open area where the Jaegers were with Wild Hunt.
They saw Champ juggling six orbs. "You underestimated my toughness, now I shall kill-"
Something kicked him on the back of his head. "SKY DRAGON'S CLAW! The fat clown was rolling across the ground and was knocked out.
"What the?" Enshin wondered and looked to who kicked his comrade.
Cosmina looked too.
"You striking two injured ones." Carla inquired.
"YOU GUYS ARE STUPID JERKS!" Happy and Natsu shouted in unison.
Lucy was nervous but had to put on a brave front. "Such crazy people you are."
"You shall pay for you crimes!" Wendy proclaimed.
Enshin gritted his teeth. "Its those punks that made us retreat before!"
Cosmina was worried like before.
Enshin took two swords. "My Imperial Arms Moonlight Sword Dance: Shamshir!" He swung two swords in the air and created an aerial blades. "Take this!"
Wendy smiled and took a deep breath as the attack began was sucked into her mouth.
"No way!" Enshin exclaimed.
Kurome and Run seeing this, couldn't believe what they saw but wondered who were the strangers. "Who is this girl?"
"The others aren't familiar to me either." Run said with weak tone.
Carla transformed into a human girl.
"Whoa did you see that?" Cosmina pointed out.
"That cat transformed into a human girl." Enshin replied looking surprised.
"How can that be?" Kurome wondered.
Natsu approached while grinning and cracking his knuckles. "Now, let's finish what we started with you guys."
Just then an dark electric bolt came out of nowhere but Natsu heard it quickly and dodged it.
"What the hell?" He wondered.
"Mind if we cut in?" Saki appeared in the center.
"What does this woman mean we?" Carla asked.
Leon appeared beside Saki. "Our prey is here, so is Fairy Tail?"
"Who the devil are you freaks?" Cosmina wondered.
Enshin wondered that but had a guess. "Hey, are you the Demons of Tartaros?"
The Demons smirked.
Kurome gritted her teeth. "(Great, those Demons are here.)"
Run looked worried. "(This can't be good, Tartaros is here, now my plan for revenge has gotten difficult.)"
Leone was getting scared and sweated. "You guys, each of them has a strong aura, but the black haired demon's aura is more powerful." The blond woman remembered this feeling the same kind she felt while trailing Esdeath.
Akame took her sword. "Leone, we shall assist them, Mine stay here for a surprise attack, I'll have Fairy Tail give you a signal to fire."
Mine nodded as her friend went to assist the wizards. "I'll see to it those Demons, Wild Hunt, and Jaegers will get blasted."
"Careful." The pinkette girl glanced to see Fang standing close to her. "No...it can't..be..."
Fang laughed with his arms crossed. "Don't move a muscle, unless you want to get blown up."
Mine looked down and saw a curse symbol glowing under her. "What is this thing?"
"My Neo-Landmine curse, make one wrong move, then boom." Fang replied. "It gets worse, fire that gun of yours then the blast will transfer to anyone of your friends including one of the Fairy Tail brats."
Mine gasped in shock but seeing one of the defeated Demons alive was unbelievable. "(Damn it, my surprise attack is now useless, but this Demon was defeated by Gray, how did he return?)"
Saki glanced at Fairy Tail. "Well, its Salamander, Sky maiden, and the Celestial Wizard."
"How did you know what we are?" Natsu asked.
Saki and the others Demons showed their guildmarks which left Team Natsu in disbelief.
Leon snarled. "We came to have some fun, but running into Team Natsu wasn't expected."
"Damn, Tartaros is here, I thought we dealt with them?" Lucy wondered.
"Guess some were still around." Carla guessed.
Natsu growled smirked. "I hoped to kick some asses but finding Demons does make me fired up!"
Cosmina was scared but had to keep it together and took her Imperials Arms which was a microphone charging at the Demons. "Great Tremor: Heavy Pressure!" Her weapon unleashed a high sonic attack going straight to Leon.
"What kind of Imperial Arms is that?" Wendy wondered covering her eyes
"Its noisy that's for sure." Natsu answered covering his ears.
"Aye, wonder if Gajeel would like that weapon." Happy wondered but was covering his eyes too.
"Man, I don't want to picture that." Lucy muttered knowing the Iron Dragon Slayer's voice was off not mention it annoyed Natsu one time.
Suddenly Beni appeared in front of the attack.
"What the hell is that bird?" Leone wondered.
Akame noticed something strange about the clothes that bird woman was wearing.
"SONIC SCREECH!" Beni unleashed a sonic screech of a bird which went through Cosmina's own sonic attack. "No way!"
The glasses woman was engulfed in the screech and she covered her ears in pain.
Champ stood up and saw Wendy then gasped. "Ah, its you again, I shall play with you again!"
Just then a hole began to appear beneath him. "Ah!"
"Time for punishment, clown man." Virgo stated.
Beni flew towards Virgo and swiped the maid's arm. "TALON SLASH!" Seeing the danger Lucy took her maid's key. "Take a break for now, Virgo."
The pink girl maid smiled as she began to vanish. "Princess, good luck."
Lucy took out her whip and swung it that it wrapped around one of Champ's legs causing him to trip on his back. "Ah!"
"I shall take on the bird woman." Wendy stated.
"Not just you, but I will assist you child." Carla stated.
Beni smiled amusingly. "So be it!"
"That leaves me with me with Natsu against Champ." Lucy said stretching out her magic whip.
Leone began to crack her knuckles. "Guess that leaves me with that Panther Demon."
Leon grinned. "Heh, I shall see what you're made of."
The two felines charged at each other.
Run couldn't believe what he was seeing next. "(First three new wizards, two talking cats then one of them transformed into a human, and now a maiden that just dug from the ground and just vanished into thin air.)"
Kurome was having a hard time believe what she was seeing. "(This is gotten crazy.)"
Wendy held out her hand. "Time for my spells Power of the Stout arms that tears heavens, Arms!"
Natsu felt his power increase. "Thanks Wendy!"
Leone suddenly felt something inside her feel stronger. "(Whoa, this must be Wendy's doing.)"
Wendy glanced at Lucy. "Lucy, Armor shall be given..."
"Hold it." Wendy stopped her spell. "I can handle this without your spell at least for now, besides I have a new power I want to try out, the same one of Celestial friends gave me."
Wendy nodded in respond and had another idea. "Leone, I shall give you Armor."
Leone felt the power inside her. "I feel like I'm stronger."
Leon then lunged at her and pulled his fist back. "Drain Fist!" He landed his punched at the blond woman's chest.
Leone slid back on her feet. "Man, that felt painful, but lucky I wasn't hit that hard."
Natsu smelled something off the direction they came and looked to where Mine was and saw a figure standing next to her. "Happy check on Mine, and quickly!"
Happy was confused but did what he was told. "Aye sir!"
"Akane, please I would like you to assist Happy!" Natsu commanded.
"Its Akame." The Musasme user mumbled but she left to follow blue Exceed.
Champ was getting up on his feet and took one orb in his hand. "Ice Orb!" The orb he threw was covered in ice and even letting off cold air.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu punched the ice orb with a fiery fist that broke it into chunks of ice.
Champ gritted his teeth. "Ugh, this brat is stronger than I thought."
In the air where Wendy was being held by Carla in her human form with wings on her back, they started their fight against Beni.
"Fairy Tail is here." Beni said smiling wickedly. "I look forward tearing you runts to pieces."
Wendy glared at the bird woman. "Let's just see, SKY DRAGON WING ATTACK!" She swung her arms and strong wind was sent forward to the Harpy Demon.
Beni wasn't flinching and disappeared. "Where'd she did go?" Carla asked.
"RAZOR WIND!" She swung both her arms and created razor wind disks that were sent towards the two former Fairy Tail wizards.
Wendy inhaled the attack like she did with Enshin's attack. "Tastes good, I might get a fire in my belly." Carla giggled a bit. "(Great, she's using one of Natsu's catchphrases.)" Wendy narrowed her eyes at the bird demon. "Let's go, Carla!"
The white exceed flew her partner towards Beni. "Now, SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!" Beni put spread her arms out then wind was created in front of her. "AERIAL WIND BARRIER!"
Just as Wendy's breath attack landed its attack on the wind barrier and then created a hole. "Now our chance!" Wendy proclaimed as her white Exceed flew them both through the made hole. "SKY DRAGON WAVE WIND!"
Wendy's attack went straight where Beni was but she wasn't there. "Where'd that bird woman go?" Carla was wondering that too.
Beni appeared in behind the two girls. "WIND WHIRL!"
A strong whirlwind was blown towards Wendy and Carla. "That's one strong wind!"
Wendy had to admit that too not mention she wasn't able to get the chance to suck into her mouth. "( Her attacks are fast, but I won't lose this fight.)"
The battle between Saki and Enshin.
Enshin used his Imperial Arms Moonlight Swords to create a aerial wheel around him. "Its a full moon tonight with that I create my FULL MOON WHEEL!"
Saki didn't worry too much and was just smiling. "Such cocky behavior, some humans can be like that."
Enshin didn't like that comment. "How dare you mock me, I shall you kill and then I'll strip your body naked!"
The Thunder Demon just laughed amusingly. "Such talk from a human that's not only killer but a pervert." Her eyes changed and her body was consumed into dark electricity. "I shall show you no mercy!"
A large amount of electricity covered Saki's entire body. "THUNDER IMPACT!" She charged with her attack and tackled with a fullbody force.
Enshin's aerial wheel was shattered and sent him rolling the across the area. "Ugh, that really hurt, my defense is gone, but I'm still here."
Happy arrived to see the Demon Wolf and Mine was just laying on the ground. "Hey, are you alright?"
"She's fine as long as she doesn't move one inch." Fang replied.
Happy saw the curse symbol which rang bell to his mind.
Akame dashing fast at the Demon but Happy heard her. "You'd better stop!" The Musasume User stopped in her tracks as Happy flew in front of her. "If you try to get Mine she'll get killed!"
THe blue exceed turned to the Demon. "Listen, is that curse power what I think it is?"
Fang laughed. "Right, Its Jackal's Bomb Curse, however he was defeated during the mission of activating Face and the reviving E.N.D."
Hearing that made Happy more confused and led to another question. "Is that so, how did you get Jackal's curse power?"
Fang laughed a bit even more. "Sorry, but that's all I can share, but I'm having fun using your friend as a play thing."
Akame and Happy were about to make a move but Fang motioned his finger which stopped the two in their tracks again. "Ah, ah, ah, any sudden movements, and little pinky girl goes sky high."
Mine was feeling scared. "Damn, we're like sitting ducks out here."
"Now Explosion Orb!" Champ threw his most powerful orb at Lucy.
Natsu stepped in and began to eat the explosion attack.
"WHAT?!" Champ exclaimed.
"He's eating the explosion Orb!" Kurome yelled in surprise.
Champ was surprised. "How did you do that?"
Natsu wiped his mouth and grinned. "I can eat any elements to my Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, in short I can eat fire as long as its not my own."
The fat clown remembered his flame orb. "(Tch, this might be mean my Flame Orb is useless.)"
Run appeared in front of the pink haired man which got Champ to recognized him. "You the teacher, I remembered something that pissed me off."
Lucy was confused. "Wait, you two know each other?"
"Back then those little angels wouldn't stop crying!" Champ shouted angrily.
"Angels?" Natsu wondered in confusion.
Images of Run's crying students were going through Champ's mind. "They kept on screaming: "TEACHER, TEACHER HELP US!" He laughed nefariously. "It was such a turn off, it ruined the whole experience!"
Natsu growled at what he heard. "That means..."
"I shall kill you first while you're still injured, Flame Orb!" Champ threw his flame orb.
Natsu saw the danger but before he acted, Run's Imperial Arms: Mastama, his wings transformed and glowed brightly. "TRUMP CARD ACTIVATE: DIVINE WINGS!"
"NO WAY!" Natsu exclaimed in surprise.
The Flame Orb was reflected back to Champ which engulfed his whole body as his screamed in pain and engulfed into large flame. "NO WAY!
"(At last, I was able to take revenge for my students.)" Run thought clenching his hand.
Soon Champ was nothing a burning skeleton.
Natsu was feeling a little uneasy at the gruesome scene but had to accept it. "Thanks for your help."
"No, I simply repaid a debt for saving me and Kurome." Run replied despite not smiling.
"Look, whether you realize it or not, I'm still grateful." Natsu said smiling brightly.
Run was surprised. "(Hmm, even if he is right, we're still enemies.)"
Lucy sighed. "Man, taken out that clown was hard work."
Meanwhile
Leone and Leon were panting heavily.
The blonde cat woman grinned wickedly. "For a Panther, you're ain't no pushover."
Leon smirked. "I admit you're strong but only cause Wendy helped you with her Enchantments."
The two feline warriors charged at each other with their fists which collided.
Leon, and Saki continued their fight against Cosmina and Enshin.
Enshin created his Full Moon Wheel again. "I shall kill you now!" He charged with his sword blades which he threw towards the Demon.
Saki was covered in a dark electric surge then she put both her hands out and her fingers were sharp with electric surges coming out of each finger nails. "THUNDER CHARGE!"
Each of the Aerial blades was destroyed by Saki who's body was entirely covered in a dark electricity and glided towards Enshin. "I shall finish you off, THUNDER FIST!" She made a fist and ran towards
Enshin charged head on which sent him up in the air and then Demon delivered another Thunder fist attack making the man crash into a tree then some others tilt over crushing the man's entire body and underneath was his hands, and feet bleeding under which made Saki smile with satisfaction. "You're finished little pervert scum."
Cosmina was shaking what she just saw. "I want my mommy!" She ran away in crying fear and tears.
Saki found it cute that she was trying to escape. "(Trying to escape, like I would let you.)" She put her hands up. "THUNDER SKY STRIKE!" A enormous dark thunder attack appeared from the sky and struck Cosmina which left her whole body electrocuted and mader her drop the ground. "Cowardly little girl."
Kurome then got up on her feet and drew her sword.
"What's the big idea?" Lucy wondered.
"We shall continue our fight against you Fairess." The little young Jaeger answered.
"We just saved your lives you jerks!" Natsu shouted.
Run was quiet for sec before speaking. "No, we don't stand a chance, not in our conditions, besides my job is done, taken revenge on Champ was my goal, and wiping out any other Wild Hunt was the mission, we shall leave."
Saki noticed this then put two of her fingers on the side of her head. "(Come Fang, what's your situation?)"
The Demon Wolf put his fingers on the side of his head. "I was just having some fun with the two humans and the blue exceed.)"
"The two Jaeger humans are about to leave, I shall remain here for awhile with Leon while you and Beni return to the hideout."
Fang groaned in disappointment. "Ah I was having fun, no matter I shall let this go."
With that Fang snapped his fingers releasing Mine from the Neo-landmine curse.
"Where are you going?" Mine asked.
Fang ignored the question and was gone in the direction where the assassins came from.
"Forget him, we need to help out Natsu and the others!" Akame stated.
"Aye!" Happy saluted.
Carla and Wendy noticed the harpy woman was ignoring them. "Hey, are we still fighting or what?"
Beni just smiled and turned around as the two Fairy tail wizards looked to the direction the bird lady was looking. "We shall finish this fight another time."
Meanwhile Leon began to walk away which made Leone upset. "Hey punk, why are you leaving our fight?"
The tw Demons Saki and Leon narrowed their eyes on the wizards, Night Raid, and the Jaegers.
"Looks like the fight is still on." Natsu said with smirk. "Its perfect."
Lucy sighed. "Can you think about something else than fighting?"
Saki stepped forward. "Listen Fairy Tail, we shall fight again soon, this isn't the time or the place, but we shall meet again, then when the time comes we shall fight and defeat you all for killing the Nine Demon Gates, our King Mard Geer, and ruining our plans of reviving Master E.N.D!"
With that the Demons made their escape.
"Grr, I was hoping to kick their butts!" Natsu complained stomping his feet.
Run took hold of Kurome. "We shall meet again Night Raid, that includes you too wizards of Earthland!"
Leone gritted her teeth. "Looks like the two Jaegers got away."
Mine was sharing the same feeling then another thought came to her. "Maybe so, two wild hunt members are gone, but knowing Team Natsu helped our enemy the boss won't be happy."
"You mean, captain Najenda?" Natsu asked.
"We call her boss idiot." Mine muttered annoyingly.
Lucy was getting a bad feeling. "(Man, Najenda angry at us, this is feeling I'm having is like when Natsu, Gray, Happy, and I were going to get punished for taken an S-Class Quest.)"
Wendy felt nervous. "I have feeling we might get a lecture."
"Child, we did help enemies, so we'll have to see what will the boss say to us."
Happy felt a child run through his spine. "Aye, I just hope she won't make us miss dinner."
Akame cleared her throat. "I also have some bad news."
The others turned to her wanting to know what she had to inform. "However we must return to the base first so nobody from the city sees us!"
Leaving her friends in confusion but knew she had a point so all have left the area.
Meanwhile in Joyou town morning was arising.
Rachena, Poison Ivy, and Snapjaw were appearing from a dirt path not too far away.
"My, such humans in a filthy village keeping incidents doesn't deserve to live." The plant Demon giggled amusingly.
Snapjaw chattered his teeth with a sinister smile. "I shall tear those humans apart, but what does this have to do with us?"
Rachena smiled nefariously. "Cause Night Raid will get the blame no doubt, however if we shall look for someone whose in charge of this village I have feeling they have some documents on the incidents, that could be interesting to read."
The two other Demons smiled weren't following that part but seemingly liking the idea a little.
"NOW LET'S ATTACK!" Rachena proclaimed with wicked grin.
End of chapter.
