Hi guys Azza here!
So just a heads up this chapter is basically just Natsu and Seilah flexing though there is still story stuff its just very action oriented.
Anyway I just wanted to address a bunch of people's questions regarding some Servants being introduced into the story, namely why haven't I really inserted any of the Eastern Servants aside from the occasional one like Oda Nobunaga.
My simple answer to that is that the majority of them are going to be in the Wano Kuni Arc. Yes I realize that raises the stakes a thousandfold but they aren't all going to be allied.
To throw you guys a bone since its still ages away I'll tell you the Servants whose roles in the arc I have already written down and are more or less solid aside from slight editing to keep in line with the narrative.
Okita Souji
Shuten Doji
Ibaraki Douji
Tomoe Gozen
Hijikata Toshizo
Minamoto No Raikou
Ushiwakamaru
Benkei
Yagyuu Tajima-no-Kami Munenori
Sakata Kintoki
Lu Bu
Miyamoto Musashi
Shirou Kotomine
Kato Danzo
Fuuma Kotaro
Tamamo no Mae (This particular one isn't wholly exclusive but you'll find out as the story goes along)
Ryougi Shiki
Sakamoto Ryoma
And those are not all the Servants that are going to be in the Wano Arc merely the ones I have definitive roles for. Expect quite a few more to make the list as well I have a few non Fate Eastern Servants I want to include in this too but I won't spoil them.
Also have fine trying to guess which ones out of that lot are on the good side and which ones are evil because when we get there I guarantee you'll be quite surprised.
Anyway before I let you guys get to the story just want to let you guys know I'm working on a Christmas themed Volume One Shot involving Natsu helping Santa who lost his powers deliver presents to people he knows whilst trying to uncover the plot to destroy Christmas forever ... or at least that is the current rough draft I have.
I'm hoping to get it done before Christmas day so I can upload it then, I wanted to do it last year but things didn't line up. Anyway enough out of me hope you all enjoy!
I do not own Fairy Tail, One Piece or the Natsuverse.
Natsu's Mask Unveiled
/Entrance To The Gate Of Justice/
"Come on then just try and take me out," Spandam cackled with glee as he fired a clylindrical surge of lightning down upon Mordred and Seilah from the Servitor's eye. "You're nothing but insects to me now!"
"Oi Seilah, toss me above the Servitor!"
"Right!"
Grabbing onto the back of Mordred's clothes Seilah threw her high into the air, cracking the ground beneath her from the force behind her throw as Mordred spun Clarent around several times once she was high enough to slow her ascent.
"Oi Spandam, eat this!"
The Servitor spun around and looked up to see Mordred holding Clarent with both hands, lining up a direct shot at its eye. Spandam began to laugh as the Servitor moved out of her line of sight.
"You're an absolute idiot! From that height there's no way I can't dodge that pathetic attack!"
"Devil's Aura: Shadow Tempest Crashing Impact Fist!"
Spandam was shocked when the Servitor was suddenly blown back to its previous position by Seilah, a look of panic overcoming his features as he saw the now massive flaming sword easily ten times bigger than Mordred herself bearing down upon him.
"I've been waiting for an opportunity to test this attack out and a piece of shit like you is more than worthy to take it! Get a load of this, Clarent – Camlann Memoria!"
Swinging the massive blade Spandam had no choice but to take the hit as a sea of flame smashed against the Servitor, shattering what remained of its external shields and blowing it down into the water.
Landing next to Seilah Mordred dropped to one knee panting heavily at the amount of power she'd used in the attack. A gentle hand placed on the top of her head gifted her some extra reserves as she sent Seilah a thankful smile.
"I'm impressed Mordred, that has to have been your strongest attack yet."
"Nah," Mordred replied with a grin. "The one I used against Archer was actually stronger."
"Oh ... well then you've definitely improved overall if you can't call that your most powerful attack."
"If that were a powerful attack I'd be dead by now, unfortunately for you two I'm not!"
"And here he comes again," Seilah sighed as the Servitor rose from the water once more this time looking over in Natsu's direction.
"I won't let you save Nico Robin Dragneel, I'll destroy you!"
Firing a larger discharge of condensed lightning at Natsu's position he was shocked when a blast of pitch black light smashed into it, cancelling it out.
"Stop interfering where you aren't needed nor wanted!"
"Your fight is with us," Seilah snapped as she began to release a flood of Etherious energy putting all the humans on full alert. "How dare you attack as his back is turned, coward!"
"The only cowards here are you Pirates, Justice and cowardice can't even coexist in the same sentence!"
"Oi Seilah."
"What is it?"
"That thing is made from the same Ebony stuff Natsu makes his weapons from right?"
"Yes however its strength is solely reliant on who created it," Seilah replied as she pointed up to the massive Servitor. "That attack of yours was powerful yet it couldn't so much as scratch the surface of Spandam's Servitor meaning whoever created it is a powerful God or Devil indeed."
"So if our individual attacks aren't gonna have any effect then how about we combine them, form one so powerful it pierces that thing through its big eye?"
"I know I just gave you some power back but can you form an attack strong enough to match mine Mordred?"
"Well considering that Master is busy trying to save Robin we don't have much other choice," was Mordred's instant reply before the pair were forced to split up as Spandam released another bout of lightning discharge upon them.
"Fine then Mordred we'll do it, you take some time to power up whilst I hold the Servitor at bay!"
"Got it!"
"Taking me on alone," Spandam asked mockingly as Seilah took to the skies, hovering before Spandam as the eye began to charge up its next attack. "You're incredibly stupid you know, this Servitor was field tested against Servants and none of them could even scratch it let alone destroy it!"
"Fortunate for me then that I'm no Servant," Seilah replied as she cocked her right hand backward as a pitch black sphere began to form. "Devil's Aura: Darkness Sonar!"
Firing the sphere of darkness it crashed into the Servitor's attack setting off a large explosion obscuring Seilah from Spandam's view.
"Trying to use the smoke to your advantage are you, well it won't work!"
"Devil's Aura: Shadow Gale!"
From the smoke emerged what looked like a blanket of pitch black void that slammed into the front of the Servitor, wrapping itself around its front as it spun around rapidly trying to get it off.
"What is this, what have you done! Why can't I see anything!"
"I have coated the front of the Servitor in a veil of dark rendering all light null and void. So long as it remains you will be unable to see anything beyond that cockpit of yours."
"RARGH! DAMN YOU, TAKE IT OFF RIGHT NOW!"
"Oh yes of course I will just because you asked," Seilah snorted as she vanished and appeared behind the Servitor. "Ever since we came to this world and Master assigned me tasks to do I've had time to work on a few new tricks, the Shadow Gale being one of them. This however is one that has yet to be applied against an opponent ..."
"Devil's Aura: Black Arts – Sworra Hctip Dne S'dlrow!"
Raising her right hand upward Seilah fired hundreds of small thin strips of pitch black into the sky that quickly returned to the earth and began slamming into Spandam and his Servitor slowly knocking it back down into the water below.
"Are you ready yet Mordred," Seilah called out over the sounds of combat around her as she looked toward Mordred's glowing form.
"Almost done ..."
Nodding as she summoned more pitch black energy into both hands Seilah unleashed a barrage of pure energy blasts down upon the Servitor keeping it pinned down until she suddenly felt a spike in Mordred's power.
"I'm good to go Seilah, let's do this!"
"Right!"
Ceasing her attack Seilah landed next to Mordred who was holding Clarent above her head, its form completely shrouded in Crimson Red Aura as Seilah took a deep breath, her mouth becoming coated in the same pitch black energy.
"Devil's Aura: Black Arts – Nonnac Laireht Dne S'dlrow!"
"Noble Phantasm Release: Clarent!"
The shroud that covered the Servitor vanished as Spandam quickly raised the Servitor so that he could see where his opponents went only to find the two massive attacks right before him as they began swirling around one another until finally merging to form a singular attack.
"Devil's Aura: Unison Raid: Clarent Void Diviner!"
"WHAT THE HELL" Spandam screeched as the massive attack smashed right into the central eye of the Servitor with it being blown right back into the left half of the Gate Of Justice setting off a massive explosion that left a pitch black dome where the Servitor had struck.
Mordred grunted as she collapsed to the ground unconscious having used up every last drop of power she could muster without killing herself. Seilah snapped her fingers and allowed her to sink back into her darkness before turning back to face Spandam's current location.
"Master Mordred and I have all but neutralized Spandam and the Servitor he arrived in."
"I noticed, that was one of the best Unison Raid's I've seen in quite awhile. You know what I want done Seilah, don't you?"
"Once I move in for Spandam Hessian Lobo will be freed from my dark bonds Master, are you able to combat him?"
"I'm just about finished so start making your way to that little shit and bring back what I asked for."
"Understood," Seilah said aloud as she shot off toward the still ongoing attack, charging yet another attack with her right hand as the Marines below watched in shock and apprehension at what she was about to do.
"Devil's Aura: Black Arts – Walc Eltneg Dne S'dlrow!"
Vanishing into her own attack the spherical shroud began to rapidly expand before it suddenly detonated as a large hole was blown into the left half of the Gate Of Justice.
The Marines barely had time to comprehend what was going on as shrapnel from the Servitor began to rain down upon them killing many in the process as Seilah found herself back with the others, dusting down her clothes as she gazed upon the enemy with a chilling gaze befitting her former epithet.
"Be grateful it was I who struck first Marines, had it been my Master you would all have been long dead!"
/Natsu's POV/
"It's not enough, Ahnk help me here what am I doing wrong!?"
"Well first off you need to calm down when dealing with the Black Arts," was the near instantaneous reply. "Did you really think Zeref achieved mastery over the skill in one lousy day?"
"Ahnk she's dying I don't have time for this shit right now," Natsu hissed in response as he began channelling even more Black Magic into Robin's still form. "I won't lose another because of my idiocy Ahnk, I won't!"
"And how exactly was this your fault in any way? She chose to leave with them remember, chose to walk away from all of us in an attempt to spare our lives."
"Her vitals are fading we don't have time for this!"
"Fine then if you want to learn the hard way then prepare yourself but don't say I didn't try to take it easy on you!"
Natsu winced as foreign memories smashed into the forefront of his mind showing several instances of his Brother Zeref changing people into Etherious Demons including Dimaria, one of his own Spriggan.
However with the pain came the experience as he recalled Zeref's hands moving as if they were his own, his mouth chanting an incantation in the Black Arts he'd yet to recite himself. It was going to leave him with a headache for a few days but with this he might have a shot at getting Robin to pull through.
"Gently now Natsu, rewriting genetic code cannot be rushed. If even so much as a sliver of Etherious goes the wrong way she'll become something unsaveable."
"This wound on her brain, a tiny piece of her skull has pierced her frontal lobe; it won't let me reformat it ..."
"Then use it to your advantage."
"What?"
"Take the blood and bone, merge it back into the brain itself then reconstruct the outer shell."
"But that's ... wait a moment, I think I know how to spin this!"
Robin's body completely faded away leaving nothing but a swirling mass of void black in its wake as Natsu tore her body down and rebuilt it better than it had ever been before. Had she not eaten a Devil Fruit the process wouldn't have taken anywhere near as long however certain precautions and exceptions had to be made to compromise with the curse granted by the fruit's effects.
Slowly Robin's form began to emerge once more as the black stripped itself from her skin like a second skin, revealing her to appear almost no different than before aside from three key differences.
Firstly her hair had grown longer and now went down to her waist with it possessing an almost lifelike feel to it as it swayed back and forth of its own volition.
Her skin tan had lightened slightly though it wasn't noticeable unless one knew what it looked like before.
The symbol of the Hybrid was etched into her very skin, just as Seilah too bore upon her own brow, signifying their Master. The symbol for Robin however was etched onto the front of her neck across her jugular with the veins seemingly linked to it in a rather unusual way.
And finally her teeth were more elongated as two tiny fangs protruded from her currently closed mouth, again barely noticeable however it prompted Natsu to grin as he gently ran a finger across them.
"I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I think it was a success!"
"Well there's only one way to find out now isn't there," Ahnkseram replied in an amused tone as Natsu held out his right hand as a book appeared in it instantly.
The Book Of Nico Robin
Demon Of The Bloodmoon Hunt
Assassin Of The Pirate King
"Demon Of The Bloodmoon Hunt eh?"
"Remember Natsu we changed her but we still played to her greatest strengths those being assassination, infiltration and espionage. Exactly what her powers are remain to be seen but I do wonder how this will affect her Devil Fruit ability?"
Natsu was about to respond but froze as he heard Robin groan as if she were in pain. Immediately at her side he watched as she slowly opened her eyes, gasping as she revealed momentary Crimson Red ones before they faded back to their usual colouration albeit with the iris ever so slightly slitted.
"Robin," Natsu said softly as the person in question looked up at him seemingly in a daze.
"N-Natsu?"
"Yeah it's me."
"You managed it then, to change me I mean?"
"Yeah," Natsu sighed as he helped her rise into a sitting position. "It was a bit touch and go for a moment but we pulled through in the end."
"I feel ... odd."
"How so?"
"I feel like I have the strength to snap bone without any effort, there are smells I cannot even begin to describe and I can see colours that I'd never even considered possible."
"Can you see whurple?"
"Whurple?"
"It's a weird fusion of white and purple that makes the weird swirly things, do you see that?"
"Yes actually ... there's one on your coat."
"Finally someone else other than Seilah can see it!"
"Y-you'll help me adjust to all this won't you," Robin asked quietly as Natsu refocused his attention solely on her.
"Of course, I swear you'll be back to normal in no time!"
"Good ... and thank you, Natsu."
"I'll accept your thanks on one condition."
"Name it."
"Never. Run. Away. Ever. Again."
Robin smiled and nodded her head swiftly, sniffing slightly as Natsu brought her in for a hug.
"Yes I think I can agree with that."
Smiling Natsu rose to his feet, helping Robin up slowly as she adjusted to her newfound speed.
"We'll work on it," Natsu chuckled as she slammed into his chest from trying to get up like she normally would. "Should've seen me after I got my Devil's Aura I ended up with my head through the roof of the Tartaros Council Chambers."
Robin giggled as she placed a hand on his shoulder for support, her legs still shaking from having been completely rebuilt. Honestly Natsu thought it was adorable since it reminded him of a newborn trying to get used to its new body.
The moment he dropped his Crash Barrier Seilah had warped to his side in a kneeling position, a loud squelching sound accompanying her as she dropped a severed arm before him.
"It is done Master."
"Indeed it is, great job Seilah," Natsu replied with a smile as he picked up the severed arm by the hand using the one that held his Command Seals. "Now then I'll just be taking these ..."
From the severed hand Natsu stole all the Command Seals as his own expanded to twice as many forming a marking that stretched just past his wrist. Tossing the arm away it fell over the side of the ruined bridge.
"Good riddance."
A sneer had worked its way onto his face as he thought of the trash that once held the Command Seals however a whine immediately snapped him back to reality as Avenger stood several metres away, its tail between its legs, head lowered and even the headless rider upon its back having its arms drooped.
"Hessian Lobo." Natsu said as he gently passed Robin over to Seilah before slowly walking to stand before the Avenger, his eyes barely an inch away from the wolf's own. "You are now a free Servant Avenger, as promised I've freed you from Spandam's will. Rest assured that I will not blame you for his actions, you had no choice in the matter."
The wolf seemed shocked however its ears perked up, tail wagging wildly behind it as Natsu gently placed a hand atop his snout and pressed his forehead to the wolf's own.
"I can sense you still feel guilty despite my words so if it would please you to repay me for your actions then help my friends and I in our escape. I know this likely isn't how you pictured I'd meet you but I'd still like to be friends, if you're willing that is?"
A slobbering lick to the face was all that needed to be said as Natsu chuckled as the now grinning wolf who was prancing up and down on the spot looking delighted at the idea.
"Heh, I'll take that as an affirmative yes then eh?"
Avenger barked in the affirmative before gently nuzzling Natsu's head as he gave the wolf a quick scratch behind the ears.
"Right then Hessian I have a job for you, round up everyone who came here with us and make sure they are here in preparation to escape."
The wolf barked in confirmation as it shot off back toward the ruined Tower Of Justice prompting Natsu to chuckle in response.
"Such a good boy that Hessian ..."
Turning back around his grin vanished as he gazed out upon the still approaching Marines as more and more ships slowly passed through the gates, the Buster Call now in full swing as the ships rained down cannon fire upon Enies Lobby itself.
"Alright all of you listen up," Natsu called out as the Straw Hats and Seilah focused their ears in his direction. "Be ready to jump over the side at my signal!"
"Jump over the side are you crazy," Sanji called out as he kicked a Marine in the neck breaking his collarbone.
"Some of our crew including Luffy are Devil Fruit eaters they won't be able to swim," Zoro added as he sliced a Marine in half. "And even if they could we're not outswimming an entire fleet!"
"Dont worry about that just leave the fleet to me, just be ready to jump! Seilah you get ready too!"
"Are you going to be doing that Master?"
"Yes."
"I see, I shall begin charging power immediately," Seilah replied before placing a hand on his shoulder. "Is it wise to reveal ourselves to the World Government like this though, some of them are actually quite formidable?"
"A message needs to be sent Seilah and Enies Lobby is the perfect letter to do it," Natsu replied as he placed a hand on her own. "No one messes with those I care about Seilah, the World Government will learn this the hard way."
"Understood," was all Seilah said as she took a step back and wrapped Robin's arm around her own shoulder. "Watch Sister as our Master bares his fangs toward this corrupt world in defiance."
Letting the Sister comment slide for the moment Robin watched Natsu walk toward the edge of the severed bridge with a sense of giddiness bubbling up inside of her. What would he do, what kind of message was this going to be and how bloody would it be once the dust settled?
"CEASE ALL HOSTILITIES AT ONCE," Momonga's voice roared over the countless Transponder Snail's throughout the area prompting Natsu to clear his throat before speaking with an amplified voice shocking everyone present save for Seilah who was already aware of the skill.
"DOGS OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS; HEAR MY VOICE AND TAKE HEED OF ITS WARNING! YOU HAVE ATTEMPTED TO KILL SOMEONE IMPORTANT TO ME AND IN THE PROCESS HAVE PUT ALL MY OTHER FRIENDS AT RISK; THIS SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED!"
"DON'T TRY AND INTIMIDATE US DRAGNEEL IT WON'T WORK!"
"A KING DOES NOT RESORT TO MERE INTIMIDATION TO GET WHAT HE WANTS MOMONGA," Natsu's voice boomed as several people froze at his words with many of the Marines recognizing them from an enemy they'd faced not too long ago. "A KING ACTS MOMONGA, YOU AND CIPHER POL HAVE SEEN TO THAT!"
"Seilah what does he mean by that," Robin asked confused as a smirk etched its way onto the usually indifferent Seilah's face.
"Master is the King Of Balance, hero of Earthland, Edolas, and the Elemental Nations. He will not be forced to submit, his power and pride refuse such a request outright. He is a King, a budding King true however he understands that he represents the balance and as such must act when necessary to ensure his word is taken seriously."
"Is that really necessary?"
"In order for Master to enter Eden it is," Seilah replied prompting Robin's eyes to widen considerably at the mention of the Servant State.
"STAND DOWN DRAGNEEL OR BE DESTROYED!"
"I BOW TO NO ONE MOMONGA," Natsu shouted back as a sudden pressure hit everyone on the bridge with the Marines immediately dropping to the ground unconscious. "I AM NATSU DRAGNEEL, SON OF IGNEEL THE FIRE DRAGON KING, HIGH ARCHON OF THE COUNCIL OF TWENTY FOUR, SUCCESSOR OF AHNKSERAM THE FIRST TRUE HYBRID, SLAYER OF ACHNOLOGIA AND KING OF TRUE BALANCE!"
"What is this pressure, this power," Robin shivered as she noticed the rest of the Straw Hats having been brought to their knees or in Sogeking and Nami's case having been knocked out entirely.
"LOOK UPON MY FORM MARINES AND KNOW TRUE TERROR!"
Natsu grit his teeth as a second person began to appear behind him seemingly attached to him by a thin rope like tether wrapped around both their waists. The second figure once his face was formed immediately began grinning as he reached over Natsu a gripped the sword at his side, eyes beginning to glow Crimson Red and Galaxy Blue.
"Can I do it Natsu, it has been so long since I've used a real weapon?"
"Be my guest," Natsu smirked prompting the figure to grin as he looked over at one of the Man O Wars that had drifted away from the rest of the ships slightly.
"Now there is some good target practice ..."
Unsheathing the blade with speeds none save for Natsu and Seilah could detect the figure sent off a massive aerial slash attack that parted the sea in-between the figure and his target, The moment the attack struck the ship was cleaved in two, the sword returning to the sheath faster than any could have predicted.
"So how long do we stall them for Natsu, until Hessian returns?"
"Yeah that was the plan-."
"ALL SHIPS FIRE ON DRAGNEEL!"
"Or not," Natsu sighed as Momonga ordered every ship to focus their fire upon him.
Looking at the distance between himself and the ships Natsu simply shook his head prompting the figure to chuckle in response as both he and Natsu raised their right hands in unison, freezing hundreds of cannonballs in midair.
"They make this far too easy!"
"AWAY," Natsu snapped as all the cannonballs were sent toward a single Man O War that quickly found itself blown to smithereens as a second volley of shots came down upon them.
"Allow me Natsu ..."
Again the cannonballs froze in midair as the figure raised both hands however this time they slowly began to move closer together as a black coloured void burst into creation before their very eyes.
"Hybrid's Aura: Black Arts – Lavinrac Noisrevnoc Rettam!"
The void opened up suddenly and from its depths emerged a singular cannonball easily the size of a small island as the figure began to laugh in an almost chaotic manner.
"Oh I'd forgotten how fun toying with opponents could be," the figure cackled. "One might even say that this is a ... blast!"
The massive cannonball dropped right in the centre of the gathered ships setting off a blinding explosion with the last thing Robin saw before the white light was Natsu's unyielding form, his coat flapping away wildly to reveal his crossed arms as he seemingly surveyed the battle like a commander would.
As the blinding light died down to reveal a large plume of smoke where once over thirty ships had been the Straw Hats breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm gonna dismiss you, you're draining a lot since this isn't perfected yet," Natsu said prompting the figure to nod in understanding.
"Thanks for finding a way to let me play once in awhile Natsu, glad to see that all those hours of study were worth it."
Vanishing with a pop Natsu turned his attention back onto the battle before him until he sensed a sniper round sailing toward him and smirked.
'Perfect ...'
Allowing himself to be hit by the round he fell off of the bridge and into the watery depths below as the Marines began to cheer wildly. The Straw Hats and Seilah weren't buying it for a second though, he literally created an island sized cannonball from a bunch of tiny ones so how would a sniper round kill him?
"We've done it!"
"We took out Dragneel!"
The cheering was in full swing as the Straw Hats looked over the side of the bridge to see if Natsu was alright.
"All of you get away from the edge, you'll likely fall and die once the tremors start."
"Tremors," Zoro asked before both he and Sanji fell backward as the entire area began to shake. A side product of the tremors was that Sogeking and Nami woke from their forced unconsciousness only to believe their end had finally come.
"What the hell is going on," Sanji snapped as he struggled to stay on his feet. "Is Natsu doing this!?"
"All of you be ready, you've experienced the pressure but have yet to witness his majestic form."
"Majestic form-?"
Zoro was cut off as the water beneath them suddenly began to violently surge, a massive shadow becoming visible as the Marines cheers died in their throats. Momonga was even speechless as the first sign of whatever it was below the depths finally pierced through the blue shroud.
Two massive wings were the first to emerge followed swiftly by a black shadowy mass which shot up out of the water and landed on the other side of the severed bridge that housed the Marines who had been shooting at them.
"N-no way ..."
"The stories he told us ... I just never thought that-!"
"ARGH! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE," Sogeking cried as both he and Nami hugged the life out of one another.
A loud rumbling sound froze everyone in place as the entity before them slowly began to raise its head, its wings unfurling revealing them to be almost as long as half of the bridge itself. Looking up at the sky the beast roared as everyone covered their ears in response.
After roaring the beast looked down upon the Marines before him and narrowed its eyes, letting loose an exhale powerful enough to send the gathered group flying away before setting its sights on Momonga.
"I repeat to all of you Marines, gaze upon my form and know true terror!"
Sensing her cue she unfurled herself from Robin, gently handing her over to the stunned Nami who seemed confused as to what exactly she would be doing in the current situation.
"Making a statement Nami, that is all."
Turning back toward Natsu she took several steps forward before her form seemingly fell away to reveal her Etherious Form, bright yellow eyes piercing through any Marine that dared look in her direction as she jumped onto Natsu's head.
"I'm ready Master, shall we commence?"
"Is Mordred alright?"
"Complete Magical Exhaustion even despite the extra reserves I gave her," Seilah replied receiving a rumbling noise in understanding.
"She fought well today; Mordred will be well rewarded once we have left this mess behind."
It was that statement that had the Marines blood running cold. The person, no the thing before them didn't even consider them as people but merely a mess that needed to be tidied up. Normally such a statement wouldn't garner much fear however there was one another being in the world who referred to Humanity and Life as a whole in a similar manner and both were equally as terrifying.
Momonga seemed to snap out of his shocked stupor and began ordering all ships to target Natsu once more however for the most part his orders were going unheeded. The majority of the assembled Vice Admirals knew they stood little chance against Natsu and were attempting to make a hasty retreat back behind the Gates Of Justice however this only seemed to amuse Natsu who made said amusement quite vocal as a low rumbling chuckle shook the area.
"You all think you can escape," Natsu asked as his eyes shifted to a deep Purple colour effectively freezing all the ships in place. "You all started this fight so how about sticking around to experience its conclusion."
One by one the ships were plucked from the ocean and slowly began to rise into the air as their horrified occupants scrambled to jump into the sea before the fall distance would kill them. To Natsu the ants were inconsequential however the fleet itself would sent a big enough message along with his other little idea.
"Seilah!"
"By your command Master," Seilah replied as she opened her arms as a pitch black void seemed to begin seeping out from her very being causing her body to quickly vanish.
It was obvious of course where she had gone as around Natsu's neck and jaw region the voidlike shadows began to manifest with even his teeth quickly becoming enveloped into the fearsome mass.
"Unsion Raid: Hybrid's Aura – Apocalypse Shadow Dragon Monarch's Ruin Salvo!"
Before his outstretched maw several intertwined Magic Circles appeared seemingly orbiting one another with a pitch black sphere quickly forming at its centre. After several moments he fired the attack, still contained within the Magic Circles as they destroyed the lined up ships leaving nothing but bits of charred wood.
"And burst!"
The attack smashed against the right Gate Of Justice blowing the entire thing off of its ancient hinges as it slowly fell down upon the few ships and the other half of the bridge that lead toward the Marine base on the other side.
Once his attack was done Seilah reappeared atop his head with a blank look on her face even as a lone Human was lowered down past her toward Natsu's right eye.
"Do you see what your foolishness has wrought upon you Government dog? Do you see what could have been avoided had you simply left my friends and Robin alone?"
"B-but she's-!"
"SHE'S MINE," Natsu roared prompting Momonga to turn white as a sheet. "NICO ROBIN IS MINE AND MINE ALONE, YOU DOGS WILL NOT HAVE HER!"
"Y-you did all this ... for her!?"
"No one messes with my friends," Natsu snarled as he placed Momonga on a tiny rock nearby. "I let you live so that you may return to your superiors; tell them Nico Robin is no longer a viable target for them."
Turning around by jumping he faced the stunned Straw Hats and was pleased none of them were outright fearful of him despite all that he just did. He also saw Hessian wagging his tail seemingly unfazed by the whole display with the entirety of the Franky Family behind him.
Jumping back into the water Seilah told them all to hop on and after some reluctance they finally complied as over thirty people hopped onto his back. Once everyone was on Seilah strapped them in with darkness tendrils protruding from Natsu's scales as he flapped his wings several times to free himself of the water's grasp.
"All of you hang on tight because Water Seven will be here before you know it!"
No one spoke; no one could even form a single sound as Natsu took off into the sky leaving behind destruction and chaos in his wake as per usual.
Of course that fact didn't even phase him. He rescued Robin and got all his friends out alive so for today at least everyone actually lived. Yes today was a good day he thought as he flew off into the sunset.
Tales From The Tale Verse
Alucard's Worldwide Tour Now With 80% More Vampire Nazis X
The Wolf That Really Couldn't
"Looks like he knows we're on our way," Alucard sighed softly to Seras as they stood on a rooftop overlooking the Reichstag. "Once the seat of power for little Adolf now reduced to nothing more than the lair of an arrogant upstart who believed himself capable of destroying the world."
"So nothing out of the ordinary for this place then?"
"I suppose not, no," Alucard replied with a slight grin as he took the safeties off both his handguns. "Can you handle the mess out here Seras?"
"Under the cover of darkness where the cops will take at least thirty minutes ... give me five and I'll be in to join you."
"I wouldn't expect anything less of you," Alucard replied with clear pride in his voice. "We'll get him back and work through this."
"I know," Seras whispered as Alucard vanished leaving her alone on the rooftop.
In the brief moment of silence Seras thought back over the last couple of decades and the seemingly never-ending saga the pair had with The Major and his followers. Where he kept digging them up she honestly couldn't care.
Faster than any human eye could track Seras had summoned a fifty calibre sniper rifle to her side and shot one of the patrolling Vampires through the temple, ripping it apart and putting the rest of high alert.
With practiced ease she ejected the shell and fired another at a Vampire who had almost spotted her before vanishing into the ground and appearing atop another roof nearby before repeating the process.
The shade of Crimson Red in her eyes had never been darker than it had been this day as she ruthlessly picked off the now panicking Vampire guards. Her cold fury was seemingly projected down to her last shot with it killing two for one as their bodies hit the floor leaving a large blood stain across the nearby wall.
"Right then," Seras growled as her arm made from pure Devil's Aura morphed into a wing shaped sword. "Time to finish clearing up the trash!"
Vanishing once again she appeared right in front of a group of Vampires and beheaded the leader faster than they could react. Another two fell before they even realized what was going on as they opened fire upon her swiftly moving form, her arm expanding to block the bullets as she began to hover off of the ground.
"Die."
"What the-!"
The guards screamed as the tip of Seras' arm tapped the ground and quickly expanded itself beneath them before impaling them on sharp spikes. The blood from their bodies was naturally drawn toward her as she grew in strength and knowledge, or what little of it there was to be found.
"Big mistake coming here Draculina!"
Seras instinctively raised her arm and blocked a powerful punch but was still launched through several walls as she stabbed her arm into the road ripping up the tar as random civilians began to flee the scene.
Looking up at her attacker her eyebrows actually rose in surprise as the current Alpha Male of the European Werewolf Packs strolled out of the destroyed shopfront, teeth barred in a feral grin.
"Viktor Tsvarev, decided to come crawling out of that hole in Siberia have we?"
"But of course," Viktor replied as his form began to shift ever so slightly. "How could I miss an opportunity to see the legendary No Life King fight against The Major? The power both wield will surely lead to a battle that will go down in legend!"
"Oh it'll go down in legend alright," Seras replied with a smirk as she shot the wolf in the chest with a pistol that was still emerging from her arm eliciting only a smirk in reply. "As Alucard finally fucking ends that fat Nazi piece of trash!"
"I think you'll find that won't be as easier task as you believe it to be, Seras Dracula."
"My Husband will wring the life and lard from that oaf, a shame you won't be around to see it though. Integra's been after your hide for years now, time to put you down you mangy mutt!"
Viktor growled as he charged forward on all fours, his clothes shredding to pieces as his body doubled in size as the man entered a full Werewolf transformation.
"It is you who shall die here Draculina," Viktor howled as he took several swipes at her which were easily avoided however the attacks ripped apart the buildings behind her causing one to collapse in on itself.
"Well guess if Integra is gonna yell at us anyway might as well go all the way," Seras sighed as she slid a second handgun down to her free hand from her sleeve and opened fire on Viktor who simply used his right arm to block the bullets whilst advancing toward her prompting the pair to begin sprinting down a rather crowded highway.
"Get back here," Viktor growled as he picked up a car and crushed it into a ball shape before lobbing it down the road in her general direction forcing her to put away the gun in her artificial hand as she used it to grab onto the massive ball of steel and halted it in place.
Moments after however Viktor punched through the metal and struck Seras in the face prompting her to respond in kind as she punched Viktor in the face sending him crashing into a streetlight.
"Grr ... little bitch!"
Snarling in Seras' direction Viktor ripped out the streetlight and charged toward Seras once more raising it high above his head as he tried to bring it down to crush her only for her arm to block it, snapping it clean in two as she used the opportunity to jump into the air and kick him in the face sending him stumbling backward slightly.
"Your hits might have gotten stronger Draculina but they won't be enough to beat me!"
"Maybe not," Seras replied as she charged toward him, dodging both swipes before tackling him through another shop window. "But you've forgotten one important thing!"
"Oh yeah and what's that!?"
"Qu'un Francais fringant est a son entire disposition you flea ridden Fils de pute!"
Viktor cried out in shock as his entire midsection was blown apart by a hail of gunfire, his body dropping to the ground lifeless as Seras walked over and spat on it.
"Were you really so stupid as to think I wouldn't be ready for your kind after what happened several decades ago? And you, what the hell took you so long!?"
"What can I say Seras, l'installation est une chienne even for a guy like me," the figure clad in her Devil's Aura grinned. "As always we make a pretty good team eh?"
"Yeah," Seras replied with a sad smile as the figure vanished. "We always do Pip."
Hearing the sounds of sirens in the distance Seras waved her hand and set Viktor's body alight before fleeing the scene and making her way back to the Reichstag. Once the cleanup was done she could join Alucard in shitting on The Major and it would be glorious.
Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
