'Demon thoughts'
Few days later
The night sky starts to form as the sun sets to the west, Natsu stands on a beach coast looking at the sun as its sets with a blank expression on his face then he hears a buzzing noise coming from his pocket he takes out what was causing the noise, it's a communication lacrima. He pushes a button on the left side and puts it on his ear.
"Hello? Natsu are you there?" A voice came out of the lacrima.
"Yah it's me old man. I'm by the shore from the island." Answered Natsu to Makarov who was on the other line.
"Alright thats good. Now you know the plan get rid of whatever foot soldiers that get in your way and try to get any info from them any will be good. But please help the slaves to escape they take priority even if the cultists escape you must free the slaves. Contact when it's done good luck." Said Makarov as he hang up. Natsu puts the lacrima in his pockets and continues to stare at the sun for a few more minutes.
"Fucken old man first he wants me to kill cultists then he wants me to help free the slaves even if that means letting these cultists escape. I don't understand this fossil." Said Natsu scratching his head in confusion. He opens his pocket dimension and pulls out a portal lacrima and buries it in the sand.
"I bury it then when I turn on this one in the island the one I buried would open that's how the slaves would get to shore. This situation may be a pain in the ass but at least I get to kill some humans." The demon stated as the sun completely set he then let's out a roar of excitement, the demon leaps of the sandy shore and starts to fly to his location.
30 minutes later
Some island of the west coast of Fiore a structure about ten stories tall is can be seen from a mile away, it looks like something taller was there but something hit it and this is what was of the structure. This is the R system.
Whip. Crack. Men yelling are what can be heard from this island. The visual matches the noises as the men yelling can be seen whipping and hitting people who are many children as they are in chains bound to each other as they are forced to work as slaves to build what these men are calling their staircase to heaven. They have a belief that if they do this the black wizard Zeref would take them to heaven. This is the belief of the cult of Zeref.
"WORK WORK HURRY UP!"
"FASTER FASTER YOU SCUM GOD IS WAITING FOR US!"
"BUILT GOD WONT BE HAPPY WITH THE RATE YOU PIECES OF CRAP ARE GOING!"
The cultists continued to beat these people to go build faster, one of the men stops.
"Hey I'm going out for a smoke I'll be back in 5." Said one of the cultists said to his fellow cultists.
"Ok hurry so I can take a break to." Answered the man.
"Ok ok I got jeez you don't have to get your panties in a bunch." The man said as walks to a balcony to smoke a cigarette while looking at the night sky.
"*blows smoke* ever job is tiring even mines." The man jokes to himself as he smokes his cigarette, as he looks at the sky enjoying the night sky full of stars, he starts to daydream but then he snaps out of it as a lacrima in his pocket starts to glow, this lacrima only starts to glow when a someone is approaching the island.
"What the hell someone is coming and don't see anything." The man says as he looks at the open sea from the view he has on the balcony trying to catch what's coming.
"I don't anything from the water maybe-" he stops as he sees a fireball approaching towards in rapid speed, his cigarette drops to the the ground as he closes his eyes.
"Oh I'm dead" the man says as the fireball crashes on the balcony leaving the man a burnt corpse and smoke to surround the area. A group of cultists run to the balcony to see what happen before they can even take a good look at balcony a scaly tail and horns can be seen from the smoke as it starts to clear. The men just stood there with confusion with the same question in mind. What is it?
"Hehehe my first kill of the day. Can't wait to see how many more." Said Natsu as he steps out of the smoke with a giant grin on his face.
"Oh I got a welcome committee. I guess I should give you a present then. Hellfire devil: blaze cannon!" the demon shot a giant ball of hellfire that instantly engulfed the group of cultists burning them alive. Many of the slaves around the area look at whats happening to the cultists then they look at Natsu. They cant believe what they have just seen. Natsu sees the slaves and works towards them, the slaves that Natsu was walking towards immediately froze in fear not knowing what going to happen next is this demon going to kill them? They closes their eyes but their fears got put to rest as they open their eyes to see their chains on the floor and a portal open next to Natsu.
"Listen you humans this portal is your ticket out of here. I suggest you go through it now." Said Natsu to the group of slaves he unchained. They looked at each other for a second then they start running towards to portal not caring where it may take them anything is then this hell hole.
Natsu sees the first slaves go through the portal and then continues on this floor. He starts to free every slave and kill any cultists that are in his way. He informs the free slaves to go through the portal needless to say they follow his order. He repeats this process for every floor taking out cultists and freeing slaves. Surprisingly not one slave has been killed yet. Natsu makes it to the top floor and is greeted by the last of the cultists that have the rest of the slaves on there knees as he they are ready to execute them.
"Y-you demon I don't know who or what are you but stop right there. Or not I will kill this slave." Said one of the cultists as puts a knife on the throat of a little boy. Natsu sees this and smiles this confuses the cultists, he then put both hands on the floor.
"Fine I'll stop right here. Chaotic Devil: one world." Says the pinked haired demon as chaos magic devil slaying magic covers both his hands and starts to spread all over the floor surrounding the both cultists and slaves. The purple colored magic started to attach itself to the feet of the cultists but the same can't be said for slaves instead of the chaos magic attaching itself to them, it attaches to their chains, then a second later the feet that are touching the chaos magic on the floor starts to go numb and the cultists all start to fall down as a result of the numbness and the chains snap off the rest of the slaves.
"W-what d-did you d-do? H-how come I can't move?" Asked the cultists that spoke to Natsu. He just looked at them and turn to the slaves.
"Humans get to the first floor there's a portal there. That's your freedom." Said Natsu with a blank expression. Needless to say they started to make their way down to the first floor.
"The slaves are escaping stop them you fools!" Yelled the man who is most likely the leader of the rest cultists for this R System.
"W-we can't sir. Are legs aren't responding, we can't move." Said one the cultists. Natsu walks up to that cultists and starts to drag him by his collar to that floors balcony.
"W-what a-are you doin-" the man stops talking as Natsu wraps the chain that is connected to his Onslaught around the man's neck cutting of his ability to speak. Natsu then kicks him out of the balcony hanging him, 30 seconds later Natsu bring the man back up but it was too late the man die as a result of the getting literally hanged by Natsu. His fellow cultists could only look on with disbelief and fear. Natsu unwraps the chain from the dead man's neck and throws the man's corpse to his comrades, the cultists stare at his body and become more frighten they tried to move but their legs still couldn't move as a result of the chaos magic that Natsu did earlier. The leader of them spoke.
"W-what do you want?"
"Who is the real leader of your cult?" Asked Natsu.
"H-he's-"
"Stop up you fool. I'm the leader." Interrupted the leader of them.
Natsu look at him then walks to the cultists that was about to talk and put his left hand on his forehead.
"Tremor magic." Said Natsu as a white air bubble appears and covers the man's whole head like a helmet.
"W-what a-are y-you goin-ehhhhhh *slpat*" the man's head crack open like a egg with blood and brain matter splattering all over the rest of the cultists. Needless to say they all start to freak out more.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" Yelled the leader of their group.
"I'll ask again who is the real leader of your cult?" Asked Natsu again. None of them wanted to answer rather because of not knowing the answer or of loyalty to their cause and belief but definitely it had to due with fear.
"Ok." Said Natsu as he walks up to another cultists with a hellfire magic covered arm and impales him instantly burning he's organs to a crisp and leaving the man dead. And as like before the surviving cultists start to freak out even more.
"P-please stop we beg you we see the error of are ways please spare us." Cried the one cultists.
"I'll ask again who is the real leader of your cult?" Asked Natsu again calmly and with perfect sync they answer.
"ARLOCK THE PRIEST OF AVATAR!" yelled all of them. Natsu smiles with this answer.
'I guess the info the old man got was right then.' Thought Natsu.
"Ok then see wasn't that easy." Said Natsu as he starts to walking away from to the rest of the cultists as he dispels his chaos magic that was causing their numbness on their legs. The cultists get the feeling coming back to their legs and all decide to attack him while his back is turned.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"YOU KILLED MY FRIEND!"
"YOUR GOING TO DIE!"
Yelled the men as they try to attack Natsu only for the pink haired demon to unhook his Onslaught and covered it with darkness magic.
"Dark dragon caliber." Natsu slashes them his dark dragon slaying magic. Not killing them but seriously injuring them.
Natsu takes out the communication lacrima and dials Makarov.
"Hello? Natsu?" Makarov says through the lacrima.
"There leader name is Arlock that part of the information is valid." Said Natsu who going to down to the first floor.
"I see do you free all the slaves?"
"Yes there went into the portal."
"Good now you know what to do the R system."
"Yah I know."
"Call me when it's done." Finished Makarov by hanging up. Natsu puts the lacrima back into his pocket. He making it to the first level where the portal lacrima he place for the slaves to escape is at, before he goes in he looks up at the roof of the first floor.
"Tremor Dragon roar!" Yells Natsu as a giant air bubble with cracks in them come out of his mouth and hits the inner walls of the R System resulting in the structure to start to crumble and crack from the attack causing in to collapse on itself. Natsu wipes his mouth and walks in the portal just as R System starts fall to the ground.
At the beach
Natsu walks out of the portal and destroys the portal lacrima right away as instructed Makarov. As soon as destroyed it he turns to see the slaves he freed as well as a group of people who looked like the cultists only wearing white clothes and a different symbol on their outfits.
'Who the hell are them? They must be...' Thought Natsu, the slaves and group of the men notice Natsu and the slaves all smile as they see their liberator but before they can say any thing one of the white clothed men walked up to Natsu.
"Identify yourself." Asked the man bluntly to Natsu who didn't like the attitude he was giving him.
"Ain't none of your fucken business." Said Natsu as he starts to walk away.
"Hold. More one step and we will fire. Identify yourself." Demand the man as the rest of the men aimed their weapons to Natsu. Natsu with his back to them just smiled as he turns on his darkness magic giving him a aura of darkness surrounding him.
'I guess I have to kill them too.' Thought Natsu but just as he was about to turn around and face them the freed slaves speak up.
"Wait he the one that saved us."
"Yeah he freed us."
Many slaves protested to the men as a result the men lowered to their weapons and Natsu turn off his magic.
"I see your the wizard that master Makarov send. He did mention that you would have a odd appears. We are the rune knights part of the magic council I am Lahar the captain in charge of these group." Said the man identified as Lahar. Natsu looked at him for a second and decided to leave.
"Wait. Did you get any information when you where there?" Asked Lahar. Natsu just kept walking ignore him.
"Hey wait!" Shouted a rune knight only for Lahar to grab his shoulder.
"Stop let him. I doubt he'll talk to us and we can't risk the safety of these people if we were to fight him." Said Lahar, he then signals to his men to tend to the freed slaves. Lahar turns to see the direction Natsu was walking but he was gone.
'Huh he's gone that boy is quick. So he's Natsu Dragnologia the wizard master Makarov says he's a takeover wizard but something tells me that he's not.' Thought Lahar as he went to help the people.
With Natsu
The 7 year old pink haired demon is currently making his way on top of a mountain rear the beach shore where the former slaves where and he had his encounter with the rune knights of the magic council. He dials the communication lacrima.
"Old man everything is done." Natsu said into the lacrima.
"Did you destroy the place?" Asked the old man.
"Yes. And I had run in with those guys from the magic council you spoke of." Said Natsu.
"I see. Those buzz kills are probably covering up any evidence that can tie you or Fairytail involvement so they can take the credit." Said the old man.
"Well isn't the point." Said Natsu.
"You're right. Anyways good work you got 19 more to go." Said Makarov
"Alright."
"Good I'll contact you as soon as you make it to your next location." With that Makarov hangs up. Natsu decides to rest at the mountain top for the night.
"I'm getting stronger with every passing day. Ill get even with everyone soon." Whisper Natsu as he closes his eyes to sleep.
