Kyouka and Mercedes were walking side by side through one of the large halls that collected the guild through its labyrinth like design, Kyouka was making conversation with the small child.
"Now Mercedes, you are going to be turned into a demon soon and join our family, but before that happens you have to go on a mission for me."
Mercedes, still under the control of Sayla's macro, stared blankly ahead and answered "Yes Kyouka-sama, I will do anything you want me to do."
Kyouka smiled at Mercedes and placed a clawed hand on the little girl's head, being careful not to cut her.
"Good, I want you to go with Sayla on her next mission and kill the former member of the Magic Council. If anyone dares to interfere in our business, then you have to kill them. No matter who it is. Understood?"
"Yes, Kyouka-sama." Mercedes replied wanting nothing more than to please, Kyouka.
Kyouka drew her clawed hand back and her grin widened at Mercedes' answer. She was glad that the Macro was working so well. Sometimes they try to fight it and end up harming themselves.
"That's a good girl, now go back to Sayla." She said as she gave her a little push with the back of her hand on the young girl's shoulder blades.
Mercedes, needing no further encouragement, went back to where Sayla was. The Demon was well aware of what Kyouka had told Mercedes to do, so when the child entered her room, she stood.
"Let us go, Mercedes." Sayla told her, putting her book down.
Mercedes looked at her. "Yes Onee-san."
They both left out of the Tartarus guild and using the quick teleportation that the Hell's Core provided, left to go to the city where the last Counsel member lived.
In Hell's Core
Lamy was skipping happily in the lab and then she stopped and looked in the tank that held Minerva still passed out within. She giggled fro thoughts in her mind as she looked at woman in the tank.
"How does it feel to have demon blood to be pumped into that body of yours? At this rate you and your little sister will be known as the Demon Sisters of Tartarus. I keep stressing myself so much thinking how that's going to go." Lamy giggle escalated to laugh as she kept thinking about how Minerva and Mercedes were sisters and they were going to be demons.
"For your sake, and the sake of your sister, I won't mess you up too much. After all you and your sister look just the same. I will for sure give you both claws and horns, but I wonder what else I should give you... I bet you'll be even stronger than those annoying fairies that beat up Tempesta and Jackal-kun."
(Minerva's Mind)
Minerva could hear Lamy talking to her about what she was going to do to her, but something felt off about it. At first Minerva was calm but then the moment she heard Lamy mention her and Mercedes being turned into a Demon as well, she reacted by moving her body just like she could as if trying to tear the bonds holding her down, it was the same before when Mercedes was in the lab but once again her struggling was in vain.
'Just let me out! I have to get her out of here!' She thought, her sister did not deserve to be tainted as she was.
When Minerva heard Lamy mention Fairy Tail her struggling changed to one of outrage.
'Fairy Tail?! Those bastards! First they took my sister from me then they let her be taken by these demons?! I will kill them myself when I get out of here! Starting with Erza Scarlet!'
(Real World)
When Lamy saw Minerva reacting to what she had said before she smiled a wickedly.
"You must really care for your little sister, but judging by your reactions something tells me that, that guild gave your sister to us. After all how easily did Kyouka get her back here?"
Lamy giggled a little more then turned to leave the tank alone.
(Some random city)
Lisanna and her big brother Elfman were both with a former member of the Magic Council named Yuri. He was dead as they were too late to save him and Lisanna looked behind her to see someone coming to them. When she saw that it was Mercedes she smiled in relief as she ran over to her and brought the young mage into her arms.
"Oh Mercedes, you're alright! We were worried about you." She said tears in her eyes as she knew Erza would be happy.
Mercedes didn't say anything, in fact she made no reaction at all, Lisanna brought out her communicating lacrima from her bag, but before she could do anything with it Mercedes grabbed it and threw it to the floor. It didn't shatter as it hit the hard tiles but a sizable crack appeared and as Elfman went to pick it up the dead body of the Council member suddenly came alive and using his magic, shattered the lacrima before returning dead again. Lisanna and Elfman both looked at her in shock then Lisanna grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Mercedes what are you doing?!" The larger mage nearly yelled at her.
A mono-toned voice spoke from behind them. "Well done, Mercedes. Hmm I guess you can't expect a corpse Macro to function particularly well."
Lisanna and Elfman looked behind them to see Sayla sitting on a chair, legs crossed over the knee, reading a book. Elfman frowned as he looked at the horned demon there.
"Who are you!?" Elfman yelled.
"What have you don't to Mercedes and Yuri-Roshi!" Lisanna screamed standing next to her brother.
"I helped him reach the gates of hell." She said as if it was a normal everyday thing.
"So you're with Tartarus…" Elfman growled.
Sayla sighed finishing the book she closed the book and put it down on the table next to her, standing up from where she was sitting.
"Books of the humans are so boring, I shall write my own story. A story for the demons to read." She said without looking at them, still completely at ease.
"Get ready Lisanna!" Elfman cried. In a heartbeat he grabbed Lisanna by her neck, tightening his grip strangling her.
"What is this? My body's moving on its own!" He began to panic.
"Elf-nii... it hurts…"Lisanna said slightly short of breath.
"What'd you do?! Stop it right now!" He shouted at Sayla.
"In a Demon's story, there is no such thing as mercy." Sayla replied, showing no remorse at having Elfman slowly strangle his sister to death.
Mercedes smirked darkly at them. "My Onee-san can use macro. No one can refuse what she orders them to do."
Elfman just stared at her and Lisanna struggled to break free.
"Mercedes...what do you mean by 'Onee-san'? Your sisters are Minerva and Erza!" She asked, wondering why she was siding with this Dark Guild.
Mercedes smiled at them. "I have a new family now. A family, that won't leave me."
Elfman looked at her. "What are you saying, Fairy Tail and Sabertooth are your family!"
Mercedes kept her smirk on her face. "What nonsense are you saying? I have no ties to either of you."
After a while Lisanna passed out from the lack of air and Elfman had tears streaming down his face as he looked at the demon before him. "Damn it! Lisanna, hang in there!"
Sayla closed her eyes and frowned at Elfman.
Finally he could take no more "I beg you! Please, Stop This!"
Sayla opened her eyes and Mercedes smiled darkly at the whole situation.
"Beg?" She questioned, "When a human asks a favour of a demon, that's when he must offer his soul to them." She leaned closer. "Are you prepared to give your soul to me?"
Mercedes closed her eyes, still smiling, proud of her Onee-san. "You may as well if you want your sister to live. Sayla-nee is giving you an offer right now instead of just killing you both."
Elfman then lowered his head in defeat. "Yes, I give my soul up."
Sayla allowed him to release Lisanna who fell then in her arms.
"In exchange for your sister's life you have to destroy the guild of Fairy Tail. Make sure everyone in the guild is dead." She gave him a new lacrima and he left out of there.
Later at the Tartarus guild
Sayla gave her report to Kyouka who was pleased.
"Have you found the identity of the three who activated the seal?" Sayla asked, standing in front of Kyouka who was leaning back on a couch.
"Yes" the elder Bird like Demon replied "I must admit that the Ex-Chairman's 'Super Archive' is quite magical."
"Then I take it, there will be no further need for useless killings?" It was difficult to tell if she was happy or sad at this.
"Yes, two of the sealers were among the Council Member's we targeted already" Kyouka continued "The only remaining one is Jellal, once we find and kill him, FACE will activate."
"Will you find Jellal soon?" Sayla questioned.
Her companion grinned "Erza will spit it out soon enough."
"I see. Kyouka-sama is quite good at getting people's mouths to open after all."
"Your 'Macro' could do the same, but there's no fun in that. More importantly, I do not want Fairy Tail to interfere in our plans further." Kyouka was partly questioning, knowing that Sayla would have something planned
"I shall see to that. I am preparing a story befitting of the Fairies Last Day's"
Both demon women looked at Mercedes who was sleeping peacefully on the large bed and Sayla went to her and placed a hand on Mercedes head. "This child will make a perfect demon tale."
Kyouka smiled at Mercedes. "Yes she will. When she wakes up, have her to come to me. When I am finished with my plan we will have her to be reborn into a demon."
Sayla nodded. "Yes Kyouka-sama, I will see to it."
Kyouka stood, and left the room, confident that she would carry out her orders. As soon as she was alone in the room Sayla climbed into the bed and held Mercedes close to her. The child's natural reaction was to snuggle up to the new body close to her, so she wrapped her hands around Sayla's arms and waist and tucked her head under the demon's chin. She smiled at the idea of this innocent child becoming corrupted and how Mercedes was going to make a perfect demon in her story.
"You're going to be a new chapter of my story. It will be all about you, child."
Her smiled widened as she gazed down at the sleeping girl in her arms then kissed her forehead and slowly drifted off to sleep.
