A/N: Welcome back. Hope you all are ready for a new chapter.
Romeo was back up in the land of the gods with Keres. Romeo had just returned from his fight with his old guildmates. Instead of being worried, Romeo was simply laughing.
"Okay weirdo, what's with all the laughing? You just fought your old guildmates." Keres asked.
"That's the thing, it's that they are here. I've been trying to avoid them all this time but I'm some twisted sense of fate, they are here to stop me." Romeo replied.
"How is this funny though? Weren't you worried that they'd learn your identity?" The god if death questioned.
"That doesn't worry me right now. Besides, they wouldn't recognize me anyway. It's been seven years since they've seen me. They could see my face and they wouldn't notice a thing. Even if they did, they buried my body. There isn't a reason they'd believe that I was alive." Romeo explained.
"Alright but I'm a bit worried. I think my magic is messing with your head." Keres stated.
"I'm perfectly sane for a dead man. What I need to do is find Howie." Romeo replied.
Romeo started to walk towards his room before Keres grabbed his arm.
"Romeo I'm worried about you, you can't just work like you are without any side effects. Even if you can come back after dying, you can still put a negative effect on your mental health." Keres warned.
"Trust me, I'm fine. I just need to get this mission done." Romeo replied.
"You've already died multiple times trying to do this. You can't just ignore that. You are becoming too noticeable. You can live for eternity but if you get too noticed now then-"
"Keres I'm fine, I know what I have to do and I'm going to do it. I'm not going to let anyone stop me. I didn't when I was alive and I'm not going to now that I'm dead."
Romeo stormed off leaving Keres alone. Keres walked over to a couch and sat down on it. "Was bringing him in really the best decision?"
The mages of Fairy Tail were all eating at a restaurant as they were deciding their next plan of action. As they were eating, an eccentric young man approached them.
"Oh my, you guys are Fairy Tail mages. I'm such a big fan. What are you doing here in Bosco?" the young man asked.
Erza took a closer look at this person noticing they looked around the age of a teen. He had short brown hair and green eyes. He wore a fedora and a long brown jacket over his white shirt and grey jeans.
"We are here on business." Erza simply replied.
"Are you here to investigate the bombing? The one people think that Muerto is behind. Hopefully you guys can beat him although I don't think that was him. He usually is more discreet in his attacks." The teen revealed.
"Why are you so sure about that, and you never mentioned your name." Cana inquired.
"That's right sorry. Everyone calls me Willy. And for the other question, Muerto never does anything big or flashy in his attacks. He is always discreet with his attacks. I don't see why he'd suddenly change tactics so quickly." Willy stated.
"So what are you doing here in Bosco?" Erza asked.
"I'm just here to meet up with an old friend." Willy answered. "He asked me to do something for him."
"And what is that?"
"To give him an opportunity."
At that moment, an explosion went off inside the restaurant. Before it could go too far, the explosion seemed to implode. The explosion disappeared revealing that Natsu had eaten it
"Is everyone okay?" Cana called out.
"Looks like you guys are quite durable." Willy told the Fairy Tail mages.
"You son of a bitch I'll-" Natsu started before he collapsed onto the ground.
"Maybe you should have let that explosion go off rather than eat it. Well never mind that. Now that's just one less opponent." Willy laughed.
"You son of a bitch!" Laxus roared as he knocked Willy through a nearby building with a lightning charged fist. "He said he was giving an opportunity, quickly go find Howie, he's in danger."
"As if I'd let you go so easily."
A chain of explosions went off collapsing the restaurant and nearby buildings. Screams could be heard from those caught in the explosion and those who witnessed the chaos.
Howie was standing outside a seemingly abandoned building when he heard explosions. He turned to see flames rising in a different part of the city.
"He always goes overboard, that's why I barely call him. And an abandoned building, isn't that a bit cliche?"
Howie turned and saw Muerto walking up to him. Howie tried to back up but realized that his back was against a wall. Fearing for his life, Howie pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot Muerto. The bullets simple passed through Muerto.
"Howie, for your crimes against the living, you have been judged by the God of Death. For incurring her wrath I have been sent to deliver her punishment." Muerto informed.
"What have I done? I have served the people, created jobs, fed the hungry-"
"You have enslaved those who are innocent, rewarded the guilty for serving you, sold humans to others because of your own greed, killer any who angered you, and more crimes I will not name. Now be judged. Death God's Hand."
Muerto's right hand turned into a black skeleton hand. Muerto walked up to Howie and put it through his chest. The hand easily passed through as if nothing was there to begin with. When the hand passed through, Howie's eyes slowly began to turn black. Howie screamed alerting nearby guards. The guards ran over to see what was occurring. By this point, Howie's eyes turned completely back and his body slowly turned into a black dust. Once Howie disappeared, Muerto turned to the guards.
"If any of you still wish to fight, I will gladly kill you."
Each of the guards ran off with a look of terror in their eyes. Muerto turned to the building and opened the door to enter. Inside there were dozens of young teens bound in cages. Muerto released each of them before guiding them outside.
"In the chaos, emergency personal won't hesitate to help you. Go and be free." Muerto told the teens.
Muerto pulled his phone out of his pocket as he walked away. After sending a quick text, Muerto disappeared in a column of black dust.
The city was becoming a mess. As the Fairy Tail mages tried to help with the chaos, they were seemingly helpless as more explosions went off. Willy was laughing in content until he received a text. After checking the text, he looked at the mages he had been fighting.
"Well it looks like it is my time to leave. With my departure I shall leave you a gift."
Willy clapped his hands and all the fires disappeared. All that was left was the damage that was created. A green pillar surrounded Willy as he disappeared from the scene.
"God damn it!" Laxus yelled as he punched the ground. "We couldn't do anything. He played us like fools."
In the realm of the Gods, Romeo sat in a meadow looking at the world below him. Romeo was a foreign city that was currently in celebration.
"What is with you, we won." Willy said as he sat next to Romeo.
"Thank you for your help, with everything." Romeo thanked his companion.
"You don't need to thank me, I'll always be there for my friend."
"You probably deserve a better friend then me, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do."
"Romeo listen to me, you are supposed to do whatever you want to do. You keep going on these 'missions' because that is what you want to do. This is what you've made your purpose. It is what you decided to do. You had more choice in this then I did. You were given the opportunity to stay dead but you chose to become Keres' disciple. I didn't get that choice. I was forced to become the God of Chaos. If I've learned one thing it is to never let others decide who you will be. Stay true to yourself in everything you do."
"Isn't that why you are an outcast in the God society."
"Hey us outcasts have got to stick together."
"So those were your old friends, they seemed great."
"They are, they care for life so much. If they ever see what I've become-"
"Don't put yourself down so much. You are something greater than they'll ever be. You were chosen because you are worthy. None of them are here. If they don't accept you then none of that matters. Remember all the people you helped today. They needed someone and you were there. You never gave up hope. You knew they needed you and you were there. You have become a savior to them. Even if everyone in the world believes you are a villain, you will always be their savior. Romeo Conbolt, don't let anyone put you down. You are one of the greatest people I've met. You don't let this power get to you. With everything you could easily do, you chose to do good. Remember that in all you do."
"Thank you."
"If anyone ever tries to harm you or make you think differently then I'll go beat the crap out of them for you."
"You aren't exactly fit for combat."
"I can still beat quite a few people up if I need to."
"Let's get back to Keres, she's been worried about you."
Back at the Fairy Tail guild hall, there was a solemn silence. No one had even made a sound once they heard of their companions defeat once they returned to Fiore. Natsu was being healed by Wendy when Laxus explained what happened.
"Master, what should we do next." Erza asked.
"This Muerto needs to be punished for his crimes. We won't go searching for him since it seems he can travel large distances quite easily. But the next opportunity we get, we won't let him escape. This Muerto will be punished for his crimes."
