Hi guys Azza here!

So before I get to the reviews just letting you guys know translations for the new attacks both Enel and Netero use are after the Tales From The Tale Verse stuff if you guys are interested to know what they are.

Anyway onto the reviews!

DarkFireCat – I can do that but it's going to be massively altered from the one in RWBY to fit with the verse I've built. It'll also be after the current side story I'm doing now but I can do that.

Baranx – I won't deny my story has flaws but I'll agree it probably is still way better than OG Fairy Tail haha thanks for the support!

Anyway on with the story!

I do not own Fairy Tail, One Piece or the Nasuverse.

Defying God

/Netero's POV/

"God's Aura: Goro Goro – 40 Million Volt Bari!"

"God's Aura: 21 Type – Bosatsu Bachupamu!"

Enel's attack smashed against the extended right palm of Netero's that was backed by the construct behind him that clung to his form like a second skin. Flicking his wrist Enel's attack was redirected toward Enel's temple, destroying it in the process.

"You are starting to really annoy me Netero," Enel growled as his form continued to release a sea of sparks across the area. "You've already made it so that I must hunt down the mortal rats that escaped, make my job a little easier and die where you stand!"

Vanishing from where he stood Enel was above Netero with his hand morphed into pure lightning as he unleashed a veritable flood of it onto him, a loud thunder crack sounding as it struck the ground.

"God's Aura: Goro Goro – Sango!"

As the sea of lightning flooded the area Enel found himself spinning around and blocking a punch from Netero which sent him flying down into his own attack.

"YA HAHAHA," was Enel's only response as he merged with his own attack which began to rise up like a sea. "God's Aura: Goro Goro – 40 Million Volt Hibana!"

Bringing both of his hands together with the construct imitating his motion a golden light began to surround Netero as the tidal wave of lightning smashed against his form only to be redirected around him as it flooded off of the cloud platform.

"God's Aura: 21 Type – Bosatsu Enraitendosenta!"

Enel emerged from the ground no worse for wear as the golden bubble around Netero faded away, neither combatant yet injured despite the powerful attacks thrown about.

"I'll give credit where it's due I honestly didn't expect you to counter that last attack," Enel said before suddenly letting his power skyrocket. "However from this point I shall no longer hold back knowing you can deflect an attack as strong and widespread as my Hibana."

Bringing both of his hands together Enel began to levitate in the air as sparks began to materialize and vanish all across the cloud platform putting Netero immediately on guard, even more so as the wind began to pick up signalling the beginning of a new attack.

"God's Aura: Goro Goro – 50 Million Volt Raiu!"

From behind Enel the entire sky seemed to be full of hundreds of small birds made of pure lightning that all seemed intent on dive-bombing Netero. Taking an offensive stance Netero's arms moved so fast they began creating several afterimages with the deities own moving in sync creating quite the impressive display.

"God's Aura: 21 Type – Bosatsu Tawami Pamu!"

Enel was stunned beyond belief as he watched Netero bat away his attacks without sustaining even the slightest bit of damage from his lightning no doubt owed to the construct aiding in his attacks.

"Is this all you can do Enel," Netero asked as he batted away the last bird sending it hurling into the ground before landing gracefully at his starting position.

"Smart comments won't get you anywhere Netero," Enel replied with a frown. "If you want to keep refusing God's will then I have no choice but to thrust upon you my Divine judgement."

Netero waited to see what Enel would do and was shocked when his Aura enhanced senses picked up Enel being behind him already holding a fully charged attack in his left hand.

"The games end here Servant, God's Aura: Goro Goro – El Thor!"

Netero didn't even have the time to raise his guard as he found himself engulfed by a blast so large it easily eclipsed the size of the cloud platform they were fighting on in width. Enel began to laugh as Netero felt millions of volts course through his body until finally the God let up on the attack.

"YA HAHAHAHA! Yes I think that look suits you much more Caster Netero," Enel taunted as Netero collapsed to his knees, his form charred black from the attack as paralysis began to set in. "Did you honestly think a Servant could compete with a God Netero, you who are bound to the power of a Master? Even if you were stronger than me in life you never could have hoped to gain such power by taking that old fool Gan Fall as your Master!"

Enel's smirk began to slowly morph into a frown as the sound of chuckling met his ears. Looking at Netero he could see the amusement in the Caster's eyes and couldn't help but be confused by it.

"Why do you laugh, you've all but lost now that you cannot even move more than an inch!"

"Many years ago at the time of my death I fought a foe who was strikingly similar to you however he saw himself as the King of all rather than God of all. Like you Enel he too made the same speech to me about having lost once I was rendered immobile."

"And what is your point?"

"Like you he never expected me to continue to fight down to my last breath in order to ensure the survival of humanity. Gan Fall has entrusted me with the future of his people, a burden I once bore in my time and so I shall fight using all I have to ensure that his wish be fulfilled."

Enel barely had the time to register it as the construct behind Netero which had clung to his form for so long began to peel itself off like a second skin, its form now hovering above him as it looked right at him.

It was then Enel felt the power spike from the construct and realized what was about to happen, what he couldn't hope to stop in time as the construct suddenly appeared before him.

"I may not be able to move more than a few fingers right now Enel but for this technique I don't need to."

The construct placed both its hands on either side of Enel's face as its face began to open up revealing a veritable void like space brimming with power, his body refusing to move so much as an inch to try and avoid what he already saw coming.

"God's Aura: Noble Phantasm Release – 21 Type Tara Bosatsu – Tara Dh No Joka No Nami!"

The construct fired a massive blast of pure energy from its mouth eclipsing both Enel and everything behind him. Once Netero ran out of power his body fell over, his construct fading away leaving him virtually powerless as the smoke began to clear.

Nothing was left from beyond the point the construct had sat, the cloud platform having been obliterated along with each subsequent one leaving Skypeia looking rather battered. Unfortunately for Netero history would repeat itself yet again however this time in a much more sinister form as lightning began to rain down from above.

"FOOL! YOU CANNOT PERFORM EVEN THE MOST BASIC OF TASKS CORRECTLY CAN YOU," the same voice from earlier boomed as Enel's body reappeared looking battered but otherwise alive. "If you cannot even complete this basic task then it seems I must see to dealing with the trash myself."

"N-no that isn't necessary! The Ark is almost in position and your freedom is but moments away!"

"All the more reason to ensure things go according to plan personally …"

Enel's body suddenly went rigid and the moment it did Netero sensed something far more powerful, something far greater and much more sinister than the self proclaimed God ever was.

"Assuming direct control," the voice said beginning all around him before suddenly finishing out of Enel's mouth as he slowly rose to his feet. "Now to ensure that things go according to plan …"

Netero didn't even have the time to blink before finding a solid piece of lightning piercing his heart originating from one of Enel's fingers. The blade vanished as whatever had possessed his body walked over and knelt down beside him.

"You have failed in your duty little slave, return to your gilded Throne of Heroes and reflect on it just like your last one."

"I don't know what you are," Netero said as his body began to fade into golden particles. "But I know Natsu Dragneel will stop you, I leave the rest up to him."

"Such faith in one who doesn't even yet know you, how pathetic," the being sniffed as Netero faded away. "However it appears he wasn't incorrect about you coming to try and stop me though, was he?"

/Natsu's POV/

"Do you really think I'm going to let you just complete whatever plan it is that you've got cooked up?"

"Oh you will," the being replied with a smirk. "I've ensured that all of Skypeia is covered in slightly smaller versions of Enel's Raigo and should my form be destroyed that they will detonate, killing every last being here including your friends. Oh I know you yourself would survive the blast but you aren't the primary target, merely bringing you to a stalemate is all I needed."

"Who are you," Natsu asked as he activated his Hybrid's Aura with a sneer.

"Oh you'll find out in about five minutes Natsu however before that I believe the two of us shall have a little bit of entertainment first won't we? This fool Enel, the descendant of an actual God versus that boy who is the leader of those mortals you came here with, an amusing yet momentary distraction that will soon herald my return."

"Luffy won't stand a chance against Enel, momentary is correct," Natsu hissed in response as the being began to laugh.

"Clearly there is still much you have yet to understand about this world Natsu but you'll learn soon enough," the being said as Enel's body began to shake before collapsing into a heap on the ground.

"Enel, destroy Straw Hat Luffy or you'll be the first to go once I have been reborn!"

Enel shakily rose to his feet whilst clutching his head clearly in pain nodded before vanishing in a bolt of lightning no doubt moving further down the cloud platforms to where Luffy was as Natsu moved to follow.

"Ah ah ah, not another step from you Natsu! One wrong move and all of Skypeia will be no more!"

"How do I know you aren't simply bluffing," Natsu shot back as the voice laughed darkly.

"You don't of course but are you willing to take the risk to find out?"

Natsu grit his teeth in frustration, closing his eyes and taking several deep breaths to calm himself down as he felt his anger steadily rising.

"Don't go acting rashly now Natsu, the situation was already delicate enough with a God running around but now we have whatever this thing is to contend with. A level head is what will allow us to prevail here."

"I'm well aware of that Ahnkseram but this isn't a situation I like being in, forced to concede to the will of another upon the threat of execution for thousands of innocent beings. The fact that I can't prove if it's a legitimate threat or not irks me in of itself but to actually be forced to concede … it's unacceptable!"

"Then save that anger for whatever this thing is when it emerges, I too don't exactly find myself pleased we're being forcibly held here by nothing more than mere words. For beings as powerful us we are this is rather disgraceful."

Natsu hummed in agreement as he turned his gaze toward Luffy and prayed that he was born under some kind of lucky star otherwise the kid he'd already come to find amusement from would be obliterated before he even had a chance to get anywhere in his life.

/Luffy's POV/

"Damn it, where the hell is this Enel guy," Luffy groaned as he pulled himself up onto another cloud platform. "I've been jumping up these damn things for ages!"

"You want to fight Enel do you boy?"

"What the-!"

"Don't bother looking for me boy because you won't find me but I can certainly send Enel to you if you want to fight him that badly, the fool has annoyed me quite a bit as of late."

"And just who the hell are you," Luffy snapped only for the voice to chuckle in response.

"I am one of your betters' boy and that tone of yours would have led to your execution back in my time however considering the current situation I suppose I can let it slide for the moment. For now however you can provide me both a source of entertainment and a useful distraction …"

"How about you come out and fight me yourself instead of hiding!"

"Foolish boy, a mere mortal like you would be erased from existence with the flick of my wrist! No, Dragneel is my quarry which means you get to deal with my underling."

The sound of lightning striking the ground behind him drew Luffy's attention to Enel who had appeared just as the voice said it would. Before he could speak to the voice again however Enel already moved to attack prompting Luffy to dodge a blast of lightning directed at him.

"So you are the fool I'm supposed to fight, not much to look at are you?"

"Are you Enel?"

"That's GOD Enel to you mortal!"

"Who cares," Luffy snapped back as he clenched his fists entering an offensive stance. "I'm gonna kick your ass for taking my friends!"

"A pathetic mortal barbarian like you stands no chance against me; you'll fall just like the rest of the Skypeian trash!"

"Oh yeah well we'll just see about that now won't we," Luffy snapped as he rushed toward Enel. "Gum Gum: Gatling!"

Foolish mortal," Enel said shaking his head. "A human like you stands no chance of even landing the slightest-!"

Enel didn't get to finish his statement as Luffy's attacks actually managed to land on his form with Enel himself being assaulted by a barrage of fists that sent him flying off of the sky platform where he vanished and reappeared on a nearby one gasping in shock.

"Y-you actually hit me!"

"Yeah and there's plenty more where that came from!"

"It was just a fluke," Enel said more to himself than to Luffy as he shook his head. "Yes that's all it was, a mere fluke brought about by my overconfidence."

Vanishing and reappearing behind Luffy Enel's right hand morphed into pure lightning which was promptly fired directly at the Straw Hat Captain who naturally couldn't react fast enough to its approach.

"Goro Goro: 30 Million Volt Bari!"

The attack was fatal to mortals; Enel had used it on countless Skypeians in the past and knew of its potency. Of course thirty million was way above what was necessary however this mortal filth actually managed to draw blood on him and as such this was his Divine punishment.

Or so Enel thought.

"Gum Gum: Rifle!"

A fierce blow to the gut snapped Enel out of his musings as Luffy emerged from the lightning blast unfazed aside from his clothing being torn in places. As Enel keeled over he could see Luffy pulling himself high into the air using his free arm before tucking his legs back into his chest.

"Gum Gum: Stamp!"

Rolling out of the way Enel avoided the attack that blew a hole into the cloud platform before flipping to his feet with a furious expression.

"How are you unscathed, that attack has killed greater foes than you!"

"Maybe you're just weaker than you thought," Luffy shot back as he landed on the ground in front of Enel. "Now you're gonna pay for taking my friends, Gum Gum: Gatling!"

"Mantra!"

Luffy's eyes widened as his attacks simply began phasing through Enel and realized that he was using the same technique Shura and Natsu had and unfortunately for him unlike when he fought Shura Enel was actually skilled in its use.

Vanishing from sight Enel appeared above him and released a flood of lightning on top of Luffy before vanishing again as the barrage of punches changed direction, narrowly avoiding being struck yet again as he reappeared several metres away.

"How is this possible," Enel growled. "No one can hit me, NO ONE, my body is intangible!"

"So you're like Crocodile huh," Luffy said as he ceased his attack. "So I'm guessing that your body is made entirely out of lightning then?"

"Of course it is!"

"Then that's all the proof I need to know you aren't any kind of God Enel," Luffy said as Enel's grip on his staff tightened. "All you've done is eat a Logia Devil Fruit, sure you get stronger and an intangible body but if someone finds your weakness then you're just as vulnerable as anyone else."

"What is this nonsense, I am God! No mortal could ever hope to wield the power I command at my fingertips, the ability to destroy entire islands with but the wave of my hand!"

"You've probably never had to go up against someone who can actually fight back before so this might come as a bit of a surprise but you aren't gonna be the strongest out there," Luffy said bluntly as he cracked his knuckles. "You might be able to push around these weak Skypeians but I'm not like them, neither are the rest of my crew."

"You're nothing more than Blue Sea Dwellers," Enel spat as he began to release his God's Aura. "Compared to me you are nothing more than an ant, God's Aura: Goro Goro – 60 Million Volt Bari!"

Enel's attack quickly engulfed Luffy however this time it actually did damage as Luffy cried out more in surprise than pain as he was blown back into one of the cloud platforms nearby.

"So it seems I can harm you when I use my Aura," Enel mused as Luffy quickly jumped back onto his feet. "This shouldn't take too long then …"

Vanishing in a bolt of lightning Enel appeared behind Luffy and landed a powerful punch to the back of his head, knocking his head back several metres as Enel watched in shock and confusion.

"Wait … oh now I see, you've eaten one of the fruits as well! So it seems your ability to stand against me has some logical explanation behind it after all!"

Spinning his staff around he blocked a powerful head butt attack which still sent him flying backward as Luffy charged forward already preparing another Gum Gum Rifle attack.

"Ya hahaha! Now that I know what you are things won't be so easy mortal trash," Enel jeered as he vanished from sight and appeared behind Luffy once again, kicking him on the top of his head knocking him through the cloud platform and onto a lower one.

"Damn," Luffy grunted as he rolled out of the way of a small burst of lightning before flipping onto his feet. "This guy's getting damn annoying!"

"God's Aura: Goro Goro – 70 Million Volt Sandaransu!"

Looking up above Luffy just barely managed to sidestep a focused lightning bolt in the shape of a lance that pierced right through the spot he had been standing just moments ago with it then firing out a secondary blast of lightning that blew holes through several subsequent cloud platforms.

"I'm surprised you managed to dodge that one, perhaps you aren't as inept at combat as I thought?"

"You bastard," Luffy growled as Enel appeared before him with a cheeky grin.

"I've never come across a being who is completely immune to the power of lightning before, an element said to be one of the strongest in all worlds due to its speed and lethality, however you do still have a weakness."

The Galaxy Blue glow in Enel's eyes flashed brighter momentarily as he held up his right hand summoning a sphere of pure God's Aura into his palm.

"The raw power of the Gods, a power mortal trash like you couldn't even begin to possibly fathom can bypass the natural immunity your Devil Fruit grants you, even if only slightly when combined with my lightning! It may take a lot more effort but my lightning will eventually strike you down brat as it does all other living things!"

'He's not wrong,' Luffy thought as Enel dismissed the sphere in his hand. 'I've never been hurt by lightning before, in Loguetown when the lightning struck the execution platform I didn't even feel it and even before when he hit me with his attack I felt nothing. But when he started using that blue stuff, the God's Aura, I felt a sharp pain run through my body …'

"So you see now mortal just how outclassed you are? Sure you can hit me but my Mantra can see your attacks coming before you even throw them, my God's Aura surpasses what would have been your only advantage against me so how do you possibly stand before me with even a shred of hope for victory!?"

Luffy reached up and placed a hand atop his straw hat, taking it off momentarily and brought it down in front of him, looking at it with a fierce look of determination.

Once you've become a great Pirate I'll be waiting in the New World, this hat is our promise to meet again so look after it for me …

"You wanna know how I can still stand here thinking I can win huh," Luffy asked as he put the hat back on his head before giving Enel a stern glare that made his eyes widen slightly in surprise as the determination behind them. "I made a promise to someone important to me to return this hat; being taken out by you here would break that promise."

"You would stand up to a God over a mere promise?"

"Shanks entrusted this to me, put his faith in me and my dream when everyone else laughed and called me a fool. This hat symbolizes more than just a promise; it's the benchmark that will one day prove I've surpassed him so until I give it back I can't die against you or anyone else!"

"Tch, such stubbornness will only get you killed brat," Enel scoffed. "This world is full of monsters greater than you, ones that would even make me think twice. Do you honestly think you have what it takes to stand against the raging tide of this world?"

"It's not about if I can," Luffy said as he cracked his knuckles. "I have to, no two ways about it I have to overcome everything if I want to achieve my dream."

"Of returning a shitty hat?"

"Returning that hat is the symbol but not the dream itself," Luffy said as he charged toward Enel who adjusted his stance whilst spinning his golden staff around in preparation to block Luffy's attack. "I'm gonna be the next King of the Pirates!"

Blocking Luffy's punch Enel was surprised to find his fist left an indent in the gold itself as Luffy drew it back and threw another punch. This punch however when it hit the staff bounced off and smacked Enel in the jaw knocking him upward in shock.

"Impossible," Enel gasped as he found himself dodging a series of punches from another Gum Gum Gatling. "How did you bypass my Mantra!"

Luffy didn't respond as Enel vanished and reappeared only to be hit from behind by Luffy's fists which had rebounded off of the nearby trees and the ground itself. Eventually after receiving several blows Enel vanished and appeared several metres away to clear some distance clearly feeling the damage from the attacks.

"I don't understand … my Mantra should be able to see all of your attacks, you cannot hide your intent no matter who you are!"

'So he can track my attacks based on my intent can he? Guess that means I was right, unlike that dumb guy I beat up earlier this guy's weakness is attacks he can't predict so as long as my attacks are rebounding off of stuff he's got no clue! Even still he's not gonna be easy to beat and he'll probably catch on pretty quick to what I'm doing so I've gotta try and finish things fast!'

"I don't know how you've done this brat, hiding your intent shouldn't be possible and yet you've somehow managed it. No matter, from here I shall show you the full power of God! God's Aura: Goro Goro – 100 Million Volt Sandakurappu!"

Bringing both hands together Enel send out a wave of lightning in all directions. Its speed wasn't that impressive however Luffy was stunned because at the moment of the clap itself a loud bang went off loud enough to stun him momentarily which allowed the attack to reach him as the Aura enhanced lightning tore through his body.

"My head," Luffy groaned as his vision began to return. "I feel like gramps hit me again …"

"Ya hahahaha! Feeling a little bit shell shocked are we? That attack makes use of the thunder that accompanies lightning as it strikes, enhanced to the point that it disorients its target leaving them vulnerable for the impending wave!"

"Damn," Luffy said through grit teeth as he rolled onto his back. "That really hurt, can't let him do that again!"

"God's Aura: Goro Goro – 100 Million Volt Sandafisuto No Danmaku!"

Without even any time to react Luffy found himself being struck repeatedly with blows to the body that each sent shocks throughout his body. Unfortunately however each punch had the same stunning effect as Enel's Sandakurappu attack as he found himself repeatedly disoriented with each blow until he scarcely had any clue where he was.

Landing the final punch to the side of his face Enel sent Luffy crashing into another cloud platform before laughing once more.

"You certainly do like dishing out barrage based attacks however it seems you cannot take them in turn, not that I expected anything less from a mortal though. Though you were certainly able to land some they didn't feel like much at all-."

Enel suddenly lurched forward as a fist impacted his gut forcing him to cough up a large amount of blood before being send flying off into the distance as a still heavily disoriented Luffy appeared stumbling forward from the smoke on the other cloud platform.

Panting heavily he wiped some blood from his face before dropping to one knee as he tried to pull himself together, all the attacks he'd received before prompting his body to shake violently due to the sheer force of the shockwaves behind Enel's earlier blows.

"Did you feel that … bastard …"

/Natsu's POV/

"This isn't even a fair fight," Natsu growled inwardly. "If Luffy wasn't made of rubber he'd have died ages ago! Sure even with his God's Aura Enel's lightning still does minimal damage but he's just a fucking kid up against a God!"

"If we move we risk all of Skypeia Natsu," Ahnkseram sighed. "All we can do is have faith."

It was then that Natsu felt it, a shift in the energy of the surrounding area as the being from earlier began to laugh.

"And that was five minutes, thank you so much for waiting Dragneel!"

"Not like I had a choice," Natsu snapped back prompting the voice to laugh.

"Either way the time has come, all the steps have been put into place and we can now truly begin the final phase of my ultimate goal!"

"Natsu up above!"

Looking upward Natsu noticed there was an ark of sorts completely made out of gold surrounded by lightning, the gold serving as some sort of conductor. It was then he realized that was the gold Cricket had spoken about, the gold his ancestor had claimed existed on the mythical island of Skypeia.

Unfortunately for Cricket it had been repurposed for whatever nefarious task this being and Enel had in mind as lightning flooded the ark, a sinister power growing exponentially by the second.

"Sealed away for countless millennia like my fellow brethren I can finally free myself from endless torture," the voice boomed as the clouds above the ark began to part revealing a sphere larger than Enel's Raigo floating above.

"I think I just figured out what this thing is Ahnkseram …"

"So did I."

The sphere exploded as a pillar of pure lightning engulfed the ark, a loud cracking noise signifying the freedom of whatever creature had been trapped within the tablet on board the ark as the lightning began to swirl around like a tornado.

Two bright red eyes were the first thing Natsu noticed followed by hands, each as large as an island that quickly began to extend upward. A deep booming laugh shook all of Skypeia as the massive entity suddenly vanished in a deafening crack with a singular bolt of lightning striking the ground ten metres away from Natsu's own position.

In that spot stood a man, his long wild looking hair made of pure white lightning that was surprisingly flexible despite it being the raw element itself. All too familiar marking lined his humanoid form as parts of his body morphed from being solid to pure lightning like a glitch in his very being.

"How long has it been since I last stood on solid ground …"

"So this is what you were," Natsu said as the being looked at him barring his teeth in an almost madness induced grin displaying sharp, jagged teeth made of pure lightning that sent small sparks from his mouth.

"Oh yes Hybrid I naturally desired freedom from that prison your kind put me in so long ago just like all of my Brothers and Sisters have," the being replied smirking at Natsu's raised eyebrow. "Oh yes I can smell their blood on you Hybrid but it seems you have only killed one …"

As if on cue the blade in question appeared at Natsu's hip, its shape having changed to appear like a katana now rather than a standard looking straight sword for reasons he wasn't quite sure of.

"Yes there it is, right on cue. How goes the struggle of death for you little Brother," the being cooed before bursting into laughter once more. "Do not worry little Brother for I shall slay this upstart abomination before setting about tackling the Gods and Devils as you desired so very long ago …"

"So you are one of them," Natsu sighed as the skies darkened to the point that one couldn't see more than over a dozen metres in front of them. "So it seems that I am destined to fight yet another of your kind, Titan."

Fatal Battle

Thunder Titan

Rai-Jin

"It took so very long for the right circumstances to present themselves but thanks to the foolish fledgling God I was finally able to gain my freedom!"

"So you used Enel, how did you convince him to work for you?"

"The fledgling God was easy to convince, I simply granted him power," Rai-Jin replied with a grin. "I simply granted upon him the power of the Rumble Rumble Fruit; the Devil Fruit created after my element and taught him how to harness his God's Aura in exchange for freeing me."

"A short lived freedom," Natsu said as he began to release his Hybrid's Aura in full. "I can't have you running around this world causing trouble; the time of the Titans has passed!"

"You won't have an easy time subduing me abomination," Rai-Jin snarled as he entered a combat stance. "After all the work I put in to get free I plan on enjoying it!"

"You can enjoy your newfound freedom where I sent the rest of your siblings," Natsu shot back as he charged toward Rai-Jin, fist ignited in flame.

"Let us see if you truly are strong enough to back up your claim abomination," Rai-Jin," shouted back as his fist burst into white lightning as he charged toward Natsu.

The two clashed sending crimson flames and white lightning out in all directions, the cloud platform they were on being blown apart from the force behind the blows as Hybrid and Titan began their fateful clash.

Tales From The Tale Verse

Aizen And Salem's Great Media Empire Expansion II

You What?

/Aizen's POV/

After a long day one often pines for what grants them the most comfort. For some it is food, others like to nap however for some lucky individuals they find comfort in the presence of another.

Unfortunately for Sosuke Aizen the one he secretly found comfort in wasn't having a bar of his crap today.

"Look what else was I supposed to do," Aizen groaned as he downed another glass of aged whiskey.

"Oh I don't know Mr Shinigami what else could you have done, killed her perhaps!"

"Salem you know we can't kill other Devils," Aizen sighed. "It's against the rules-."

"Screw the rules," Salem snapped as she resisted the urge to throw her own glass at the tired Shinigami. "Why didn't you just kill her when she tried to blackmail you!"

"Things aren't like that anymore Salem, those days are long gone."

"For the worse," Salem muttered as she downed what was left in her glass. "At least we have ourselves a little servant now, one thing you've done right today."

"So what do you think of my idea?"

"I still don't understand why you want to go so far when we already hold the only news source in our hands?"

"Well it honestly is just natural progression; visual broadcasting overtakes the older form of print just like in every main world we've come across. Besides don't you think it would be interesting to cover events live rather than writing about them?"

"Can't you just once support me in what I feel like doing Salem, I convinced the Council to let you do what you wanted so why can't you back me up?"

"But you don't need my backing the Council will let you do basically whatever you want short of killing off that annoyance!"

"That's not the point …"

"Then please enlighten me to it Aizen because I fail to see why you need me at all, you never have before?"

"Salem are you really going to make me come out and say it?"

"Say what?"

"Why I want you behind me on this?"

"Well I just don't understand why," Salem snapped back. "You've always been a lone wolf Aizen, never once have you needed me or my aid yet now you seem to desire it for reasons I cannot even begin to comprehend!"

"I want your backing because you're-!"

"Because I'm what," Salem asked clearly confused at Aizen's reluctance to speak. "Why can't you just tell me instead of going through all these theatrics?"

Sighing Aizen massaged his temples and took a deep breath. He never in a million years thought he'd find himself saying anything like what he was about to say let alone to Salem and yet here he was.

"Salem, I need your backing on this because I've come to find you as an important part of my life," Aizen said as Salem dropped the glass she was holding in her hand as it shattered on the floor.

"Wh-what did you just say …"

"I don't just want to do this by myself Salem nor do I want to do this to propel myself to new heights. I want us to do this together Salem because I feel that the two of us together make for an unstoppable team."

"Y-you're joking aren't you Aizen," Salem stuttered with a fierce blush emerging on her pale skin. "Why would you say such embarrassing things!"

"I'm not very good at being so … open and honest, neither of us are for that matter," Aizen sighed as he rose from his seat and walked around the desk to stand in front of the flustered Salem. "I want the two of us to do this together Salem; will you help me create this Media Empire Salem?"

"Honestly," Salem sighed as she slowly rose from her seat and walked over to the nearby window. "I never expected you to show such passion or emotion for something, let alone for me …"

"I'm about to sound like a kid with what I'm about to say so hear me out alright Salem," Aizen sighed as he ran his hands over his face. "When we first started dating why was it?"

"You expect me to say such a reason so causally!"

"We hated each other yet we couldn't keep our hands off of each other-."

"Sh-shut up Aizen-!"

"So we gave in to our baser desires, fucking each other out of our need to dominate the other."

"AIZEN SHUT UP!"

"Yet neither of us could outdo the other and from that we found common ground," Aizen said ignoring the furiously blushing Salem who was covering her face with her hands in sheer embarrassment. "From there we actually realized we had quite a lot of chemistry and over time we became good friends with benefits."

"This is actually so embarrassing," Salem groaned. "How can you say all this so casually!?"

"With great embarrassment," Aizen laughed back as he ran a hand through his hair. "We're secretly dating now Salem but really we never truly acknowledged what was growing between us even then, using the term 'dating' as an excuse to hide the truth."

"D-don't say it you idiot," Salem said as she hit Aizen in the chest though there was no force whatsoever behind the punch.

"Salem we've known each other for a long time, over three centuries in fact, so I think it's high time one of us grew up and just admitted the obvious."

"I swear if you plan on saying what I think you are going to say so help me Sosuke Aizen I will slap you silly!"

"I love you Salem, somehow despite how annoying you are I find myself loving you and I'm tired of acting like I don't."

"Why did you have to go and say that …"

"Because look at us, look at this whole scenario," Aizen sighed. "We sound like a bunch of pre teens yet we're each thousands of years old so I'm just gonna get it out there so we can move forward."

"I still can't believe you actually said that we fucked out of hate for each other out loud," Salem said stifling a giggle as she pressed her head to his chest. "We're stupid aren't we?"

"Considering the way this conversation went I'd say so," Aizen replied with a slight chuckle. "Ichigo wouldn't ever let me live it down if he ever heard this conversation, the whole thing sounds so cringe worthy and yet-."

"Yet it suits us perfectly," Salem finished for him as the pair looked into each other's eyes. "For the record I love you to Sosuke Aizen even if you are a stuck up bastard."

"So does this mean you've got my back now?"

"After what just happened and you can swing this conversation back to that … obviously I'll be there at your side the whole way you idiot!"

"So you'll be my co host?"

"Well we do make quite the pair don't we and the viewers would eat it up if they knew we were together."

A clicking sound alerted the pair to the fact that they were not alone, two sets of Devil's Aura bursting to life quickly finding the one who had overseen such a delicate and embarrassing moment between the pair.

"Oh shit-!"

"Perhaps the Council will forgive one murder," Aizen said as he summoned his Zankupato to his side.

"Indeed," Salem said as she pointed at the door to Aizen's office, shattering it to reveal a terrified Rory Mercury.

"Do you think we would get away with reducing her brain to a vegetative state but leaving her alive," Aizen asked as they began to slowly advance toward her.

"What a wonderful idea Aizen, such a wonderful activity to mark the day we confessed our true feelings to one another. A celebratory game one might say."

"M-mercy," Rory squeaked as Equilibrius heard the sound of horrified screeching for the next several hours, screeches that went largely ignored once their source was discovered.
