Chapter 25: Joyou's Fate
Screams of citizens were heard in the town of Joyou.
A woman with a hair ribbon (who was the Governor, Run seduced)with terror on her face, Carly(I gave her a name): Governor of Joyou
A man with a white beard that was went to his sideburns then around his mouth to his chin was in complete terror. "What the hell are these damn monsters?!"
A Official member Joyou: Gordon.
Meanwhile in center part of Joyou was the Great Hall.
Poison Ivy arrived at the building. "Hmm, now let's see if what incidents are the officials hiding." She busted the door down with her foot and then other official members were screaming in horror.
The plant Demon smiled and put out her hands forward. "Black Spore Stun!"
Dark orange spores were released in the air and the official members fell to the ground in a paralyze state.
Snapjaw was attacking several villagers while some were already laying on the ground dead with severely mauled injuries on their bodies and throats. "Such pathetic humans."
Just then another official Governor member who had silver spike hair and wearing a official Joyou uniform with glasses and was approaching him with sneer look. "What the hell are you going causing such havoc on this peaceful village?!"
Snapjaw chuckled in amusement at the man's attitude. "Heh, heh, peaceful, hiding such incidents like deaths of children is such inhumane but that's how humans can be...disgusting creatures but also lowly."
The glasses wearing man gasped in shock. "What, how did you know that?"
"Time me to end your life, Toxic Water Jet!" He was engulfed in a water and fired himself directly at the silver spike haired man who was left in terror.
Rachena was approaching them Gordon and Carly. "Such a peaceful village yet, the officials hid incidents just to save their village's reputation."
Hearing that caught the two adult's attention. "How did the hell you find that info?!" Gordon asked anxiously.
Poison Ivy quickly ran out of the Great Hall with papers in her hands. "This papers info on incidents besides Run's students deaths are quite interesting, to think some humans are able to hide such dirty secrets."
Rachena was then began to laugh manically. "Humans keeping such secrets is quite like them, but such secrets can come crashing down on them, now to end your pathetic lives." She put her right hand out and put her arms apart out. "INFESTATION!"
Several demon like insects resembling two giant mantis but had human body and legs expect its feet was insect like and it had its usually mantis arms and tworazor sharp scythes, a Fly standing on two legs and wielding swords that had blades that curled backwards, a red humanoid ant with demonic eyes, human like body with muscles, and humanoid moth creature with massive muscles and red eyes was coming from behind as Rachena charged in too.
Gordon took out a sword and tried to swipe at the large insects but then the demoic Mantis jumped on the old man and stabbed him in the head with his left scythe.
Just then other five guards came and charged while screaming out battle cries but the rest of the demonic insects brutally attacked the guards, two had their bodies and heads were crushed, two others had their throats mauled, and the last guard got his chest slashed by the moth creature's sharp claws.
Rachena found the surviving soldier's retreat amusing, then she took her eyes on Carly was now on her knees is disbelief. "Please, have mercy on my people, I only just wanted to keep our village peaceful!"
The spider queen just scoffed. "YOUR EXCUSES ARE SO SUCH A BORE, and too bad, you should've known this day of your village's dirty secrets would come to a tragic end."
Snapjaw was killing more villagers and filled the ground with dead bodies of adults and other guards. "Time to meet up with the others."
Poison Ivy approached the Spider Demon and handed over the papers. "Queen Rachena, I got the papers."
Carly looked up in terror. "No, I won't let you take those documents!"
Rachena quickly reacted. "Web Impact!" A dark web was shot out of the Spider's demon's palm and the lady governor was ensnared in the web.
Poison Ivy turned around. "Toxic Spikes!" She powered up a large purple sphere in her hands and fired the attack in the air and it broken into several purple spikes.
Carly wondered what that attack was but her answer was feeling poison in her body and was covered in a purple glow.
Rachena was smiled wickedly. "You shall live until the poison ends your life."
With that the Demons left the village leaving the governor lady to drop to the ground panting heavily. "Looks like my day as governor lady is over, I shall die." She fell slowly until she laid motionless on the ground with her eyes closed and smiling.
Meanwhile at Night Raid base.
Team Natsu was getting a scolding in dining room.
The others were in the meeting room.
Chelsea sighed at this. "I know Team Natsu had reasons of saving Kurome and Run, but if they keep being so nice then that could get them killed just like Bulat and Sheele."
Lubbock groaned. "Come on, they just wanted to help even though their actions were reasonable, right?"
Su decided to speak. "Right, but saving an enemy from the Empire is going to cause more problems."
Erza had to admit that part of true but didn't seemed to accept that much. "I hate to say but he's right, I mean this world isn't ours like where we can get along."
Elfman who was sitting on a chair. "Man, this world gets more crazy to understand."
"Big brother, Erza and Su are right, even though it seems unfair, there are some things we have to accept." Lisanna said calmly.
Mirajane was feeling the same. "(She maybe right, but accepting Akame and Kurome going to kill each other is sad.)"
Tatsumi didn't like this either. "Man, it shows that this world is messed up even more, I mean the Empire causes things to accept."
Gray had admit that was true. "Maybe so, even so we'll have to accept some things even though we don't like it."
Akame was surprised a bit. "(It seems Gray is growing up a bit then I thought, maybe.)"
Juvia had the same thoughts. "(Gray my darling, you're growing up, its so hot.)"
Taran had other thoughts. "(This is world is just as messed up as we can realize, but there are somethings we have to accept.)"
Lily who had hsi arms crossed and his eyes closed. "Hmm, there might be somethings we can't accept but can accept, which that we can't let any weak or poor people suffer or starve to death."
Gajeel agreed to that statement. "He's right, besides now that I think about the ones that are truly weak is ones that abandon comrades or friends when they need you the most."
Levy giggled a bit. "Such a kind statement from you, Gajeel."
Gray had to agree the Iron Dragon Slayer. "(He's actually right, I recall the former Sabortooth Guildmaster and Minerva's father kicking out any wizards such as Yukino whenever they fail to win a fight or rather to any members that were weak to them, but they changed their ways.)"
Night Raid was surprised to hear the statement and to agree on it.
Su had something to say. "Even if Natsu and his team had good intentions, they still need to accept what is wrong and what is right even if those people are kind and good."
Erza sighed. "Perhaps, there's one thing that Night Raid must keep in mind." All night Raid assassins looked at her including the wizards. "Though this world is like ours, we wizards of Fairy Tail won't change what we are or what we believe, its would be betraying ourselves."
Night Raid was silent for a moment until Chelsea sighed. "I suppose that we can accept, but just don't do anything crazy or rash cause if you let your guard then the enemy will see that and it'll get you killed."
Akame decided to speak. "We know the fact that killing isn't your way of work, but there are things you need to accept one and while despite that you don't like it."
"You're right." Everyone looked at Mirajane. "We can tell you don't like this killing either, but the Empire is doing so much terrible things to the people, in other words we can agree that seeing people suffer so horribly isn't something we can ignore."
Night Raid smiled at the Demon girl's statement and had to agree on that.
"That's so manly to say!" Elfman stated.
"You realize that your sister isn't man, right?" Mine muttered with sweatdrop.
Team Natsu eventually were walking to the hallway looking a little shaking.
"Don't worry." Everyone looked at Natsu. "We'll be fine, we're going to rest for a bit."
Wendy and Carla were speechless walking like a zombie.
Lucy was lowering her head seemingly letting out tears.
Najenda was walking behind them. "I was hard on them, but this is a way from what they learn what our world is like."
Somewhere outside the Capital was a campground.
Esdeath and her army were camping out, some were having soup around a fire then a flying Danger Beast with a soldier came towards them.
"There's an message from the Capital!" The soldier was a bearded man and jumped off the flying Beast. "Is General Esdeath here?!"
One man with head band put his fingers under his chin. "Um, where the general?"
"Oh, I believe she's with the Jasches squad." A Soldier answered.
The bearded man was escorted to a tent where Esdeath was having dinner with some of Jaches squad men laughing.
A short time later dinner was over.
The bearded man kneeled down giving Esdeath a piece of paper. "So, its time for another rebellion and two of Wild Hunt members were killed by a Demon."
"Yes, however there's more that your team reported, Wild Hunt was also pursued by strange people with powers." The bearded man explained.
Hearing that intrigued the great general. "I see, no matter we'll defeat them all, also let the Empire know, we need to take extreme cautiousness when we face the Demons of Tartaros."
"Right General Esdeath."
Meanwhile at Wild Hunt headquarters.
Syura was in a lab with Dorothea and inside a huge tanker was Cosmina.
"How is Cosmina?" The Minister's son asked. "
The Alchemy scoffed. "No matter what I look at her, that chest of hers is great."
Syura growled in annoying tone. "I mean, is she still alive?" Dorothea's face changed with a grin. "Yes, she was so close to death but with my help she'll live, also you probably heard that years ago she was kicked out of her town due to the power of her voice which mapulilated people, causing those around to fear her, that being said she survived a fire that occured in her house, after her family was killed she went totally insane."
Syura smirked. "Yes, though hearing about those wizards I was informed is quite intriguing."
"Yes, one of them would be perfect for my work." Dorothea said but had a question. "What about Enshin and Champ, what shall we do about them despite they're already much dead."
Syura scoffed with a chuckle. "I don't need any who is useless, anyway I must be going the Capital, report anything to pops if any other info about Cosmina or anything else."
Dorothea nodded. "Yes, besides I don't want my workshop to go to waste."
Meanwhile at the Revolutionary camp.
Bols was with his family having dinner.
"Its ready!" The unmasked man proclaimed.
The dinner for them was turkey, green salad, cold water and sides of rice cakes.
As the family ate their meals, Bols' wife had a something to inform.
"My dear, I overheard that Wild Hunt has be sighted in the Capital." Bols stopped eating as he looked a little worried. "I see, what happened lately."
The mother hands was trembling and she lowered her head.
The Daughter put her hand on her mothers' hand. "Mommy, why are you crying?"
"Our friends Carl and his daughter Melody were killed." Bols gasped quietly. "Wild Hunt found them at our other house and then later the Imperial Guards found their bodies and it was horrible."
Bols felt really awful knowing two friends other than the Jaegers were killed. "Carl, Melody, you guys were killed, we should've invited you guys to leave with us."
His wife and daughter noticed Bols' silenceness. "Is something wrong."
Bols got up from his seat. "I have to get something from the bathroom, I'll be alright." He was out of the dining room and went down the hallway to the bathroom leaning his hands on the sink counter, his hands began to shake and tears came down from his eyes. "Carl, Melody, I'm sorry if I took you guys with my family, you'd still be alive, I'm so stupid."
At the Capital.
Syura was at a dining room talking with his father.
"Son, the fact I know that more of your group was killed, Night raid will be prove to more just as their wizard allies." Minister stated.
"Don't worry, as long as I still have Izou, I don't care about the losers." Syura replied cruelly.
Just then a woman came inside and it was Suzuka. "I present to you, Suzuka one of the Rakshara Demons."
"Like I would want of the Rakshara Demons, her other teammates will killed while she returns in humiliation." Syura commented coldly. "I say we should kill her."
Minister Honest begged to differ. "Taking her the torture chamber we did, but it only made her happier." Remembering the moans of pleasure she let out while being tortured. "Anyway, she has some information for us."
Suzuka took out a four pictures in her left hand. "I have photos I'd like to show you."
She put the first one on the table. "First one is, this one Gray Fullbuster, he did a number on me, but he's cold as ice and not to mention quite hot."
Syura just scoffed. "Is that all?"
Suzuka put the 2nd picture on the table. "Here's a boy that used Incursio, from what I heard about this Imperial Arms, its has a stealth ability."
Minster Honest looked intrigued. "Yes, that maybe so, its possible he'd use to sneak in."
"As for the 3rd photo." Suzuka took her third picture. "This red head woman, I didn't quite get her name, but she used quite a usual power, she use different type of Armor, that was more powerful than Incursio or Grand Chariot."
Syura was getting a little interested.
Suzuka took out another photo. "This is Gray, I believe he's the man that Esdeath fell for, anyway I admit he's quite the hunk and not to mention very strong."
Minister Honest observed the photo. "Hmm, yes, the Jaegers told me he had powers similar to Esdeath, anyway just make sure to be cautious."
Suzuka nodded and walked out of the room.
At Tartaros new lab.
Saki reported to her demons allies about what happened.
"It would seem that the fatass clown was killed by that pretty boy." Saki stated.
Kay had other thoughts. "Yeah, but in the end those two Wild Hunt freaks had their human tales reach to its conclusion."
Fang was grumbling. "Yeah, I was having fun playing with that brat pinkette girl, I would've killed her if someone didn't interrupt me."
Leon had other thoughts. "However we did manage to do some damage on Night Raid, that blonde chick was tough, but I can tell she was getting her ass kicked by me."
"Now that Salamander and his team are here as well." Beni stated.
Rachena then arrived in the room with Poison Ivy and Snapjaw at her side.
"Hello, the destruction of Joyou was a success, no survivors." Rachena saluted bowing her human down slightly foward.
Snapjaw bowed down with darkened face. "Yes, those humans got what they deserved."
Poison Ivy handed out a few papers. "We also recovered the papers of the incidents, I read a few, some of the incidents were ordered by the Capital to keep other incidents hush-hush, such as some other bandits in the village abducting other kids and taken away to be tortured to death, but the officials just overlooked and didn't help the children, and also there were other people that tried to change the Empire within but were discovered then sentenced to death."
"I see, anyway we just found out that Team Natsu is in this world too." Saki stated.
"Yes, that fireball and his friends will pay for what they did to Jackal." Fang growled.
"I will avenge Master Keyes." Kay said raising his Khakkara up.
"I shall drown those brats and anyone with my Toxic Water." Snapjaw said with a low growl.
"I shall drink their blood and make sure they're nothing but dried bodies." Rachena hissed.
"LET'S AVENGE OUR MASTER E.N.D, MARD GEER AND THE NINE DEMON GATES!" Saki proclaimed.
"YEAH!" The demons yelled in unison raising their arms.
