Hello :)
For those who had guessed it was Zeref then Congratulations! It was him.
You need to get all the action you can get (not that there's much anyway) cause the next chapter which probably be the last, might have none of it.
Thanks for those who had Reviewed, Favorited and Followed, You guys rock my world. \m/

Important person.
Chapter 18
With the Powerhouse team.
" Damn, this castle is too large! and you still haven't included the massive estate." Sting yelled
Yukino sighed " I don't understand the reason to infiltrate anymore. Especially, when you're that loud, Sting."
" Why do we need to infiltrate? We're going to go against the mass of dark creatures anyway." Natsu complained, saying it a little too loud.
The next thing they knew is the ground was shaking, cracks began to form. And they felt a large magic surge coming near them.
" I think that's the answer." Cheria pointed
" That's..." Lyon stared at the large familiar figure
" ...Deliora." Gray finished. " Everyone, Hurry up and leave. I'll defeat this thing once again. But if everything is not going well then I might seal it."
" Who said you can get all the glory?" Lyon stripped off his shirt " Everyone, Go now."
" Wait. Juvia will help Gray-sama!" Juvia willingly said
" Fine. Everyone let's go." Rogue directed them towards the Castle gates where their fight will start
" But...Gray-san, Juvia-san and Lyon-san..." Wendy reasoned
" Stripper, can do it Wendy." Natsu gave her a toothy grin " He WILL defeat it."
" Which stripper are you talking about?" Orga asked
" ...Now that I think about it." Sting looked at Orga's shirtless upper body
" Don't you count as a stripper, too?"
" Says the person who loves to show off his abs. I wonder what Lucy-chan's comments are? She must have burned with jealousy seeing the girls stare at you " Yukino commented
" It's LOVE!" Sherry and Cheria said in unison
"Blood ties...You just can't miss them." Luka sighed
The other people nodded in agreement " Let's leave those things for Later. For now, Let's beat the crap out of them"
They opened the large gates and they were met by a hundred or maybe thousands of mages/demons.
" We already expected this. That's why the Powerhouse team was assigned to eliminate the number of masses."
" I'm all fired up!"
They all took their fighting stances.
With the Brain team.
" Alright, Now that the camp is all set up, let's start gathering more info—" Levy's jaw dropped when he looked at the tri-mens " This is not helping at all!"
" I agree. Want me to electrocute all of them for you, I hit bull's-eye every time." Rufus said
" Do it." Charle answered
" Memory Make: A Night of Falling sta—"
" Wait! Wait! We're helping you know!" Eve stopped Rufus hexing in fear of feeling the pain he felt at the first day of the Grand Magic Games again
" Really? In what way?" Charle asked
" Uh...See We're asking this kind demon and dark (mage) ladies anything we need to know." Hibiki backed him up
" Eto...Aren't you just flirting?"
" Hm...That seems fun. Meeeeeen~ Let me join you" Ichiya ran up to the Trimens who were surrounded by tons of 'Kyaaaa' -ing ladies.
Unfortunately for him, Halfway his head was hit "gently" by Jura and Now Ichiya's face is buried through the hard ground.
" I think it was a nice thing that we asked—no, begged Jura-san to look after Ichiya-san and the trimens." Levy said
" Yes it, is."
" That's not good Ichiya. We are only here to protect the others and defeat other dark creatures. It also means no distractions." Jura's hour long lecture had started
" Meeeeeeen~ Save me." He cried
" Sensei..." They were about to save him when Jura gave them a long, meaningful stare " Uh...We're just going to do our duties here. Good luck in learning Sensei!" They quickly ran to camp in fear of being lectured by Jura
" Okay, Now. We'll go through the air and look for more info. Let's go." The exceeds used their Aera magic and flew up in the sky.
With the Duo
The whole place was collapsing. The two were tasked with assassinating all the larger threats. But it was never expected that they bring their rivalry in and fight against who killed more than the other.
Minerva made all the monsters that came near her explode or sometimes move them into another dimension. " Jeez! They keep on coming and coming. I've already killed a HUNDRED. Just how many more are there?"
Erza had just sent the final blow to the large demon. Requipping into her Purgatory Armor. " Heh. Too bad. I did a HUNDRED AND ONE. Although, I can't understand them. Why do they keep running away from either of us. We have to hunt them down, makes the job harder."
" Yeah" Minerva punched a demon in the face and sent it flying " Now, I have a HUNDRED AND TWO."
" You're not going to beat me." Erza transformed into her Heaven's wheel armor and lunged all her swords towards the demons. " Admit it. You're going to lose."
" I'm not." Minerva continued on attacking " I'm going to win."
" I'm not letting you" Erza kicked the demon asses.
What they didn't know is The reason the dark creatures were running away from them is because both of them are more terrifying than a real demon.
Back to Deliora vs Gray, Lyon and Juvia.
" Ice make: Ice Impact."
" Ice make: Snow Dragon."
" Water Slicer."
They attacked together but it had hardly damaged the humongous Deliora. And it was still on a rampage attacking them with large lime-colored beams going towards them at high-speed. Fortunately, they managed to dodge it.
" Annoying, Demon. Why don't you die once and for all?! Ice make: Floor!" Gray yelled
The unknowingly clumsy Demon slipped.
" Ahahaha...You're worse than Lyon!" Gray laughed earning a glare from Lyon.
Deliora stood up and pounded hard on the ice floor. Creating cracks through the whole ice.
" Remind me where we're standing again?" Lyon asked
" Uh...Juvia thinks we're on top of wateeeeeeeeer." Too late they already fell in the freezing water.
" Jeez. This is hard. No wonder Ul had to use Ice—" Lyon stopped as a plan formed into his head " Gray." Lyon looked at Gray, signaling him to do something.
Gray caught his message. " You sure? Lamia Scale would be sad.
Lyon looked at him " Fairy Tail would kick your ass for leaving them."
" Leave? No! Gray-sama, Lyon-sama...Juvia had only heard it from Love Rival but don't sacrifice yourselves." Juvia said
The two guys smiled at her " It's been nice working with you, Juvia."
" You will always be in my heart." Lyon confidently said as they positioned themselves. Both of them were standing back to back
" Unison Raid: Iced Shell "
Bright Light enveloped around Deliora, Gray and Lyon. When the light disappeared Gray and Lyon were nowhere to be found but Deliora was still standing, and continuously shooting large beams from his mouth.
" Gray-sama? Lyon-sama?" Juvia looked around. Tears began to fall from her eyes. Accompanied by a large incoming rainstorm due to her emotions.
Juvia glared at Deliora, eyes red in anger. " You will pay for what you have done to Juvia's Gray-sama! Water magic: Sierra Water Cyclone!" (AN: combined, btw.)
A large water cyclone appeared out of nowhere and in the middle of it was Juvia in a full-water body transformation which is boiling caused by her rage.
Her magic had hit Deliora directly, causing it to fall and was about to hit ground when...
" Ice make: Ice geyser."
A topless Lyon impaled Deliora, preventing it to move and suddenly Gray who was also topless jumped up from the ice
" Ice blade: Seven Slice Dance!
" Ice jutted out of his forearms and with his expert swordsmanship, plus dodging. He rendered Deliora's beams useless and at the same time, getting Deliora down for the count.
" Gray-sama!" Juvia turned back to her normal form and hugged him
" Gray, you bastard! Juvia is mine." Lyon snatched Juvia away from Gray " Let's go Juvia."
" Uh...Eto...G-Gray-sama?" Juvia asked for help
" I told you. Juvia belongs to Fairy Tail. Not yours." Gray pulled Juvia back
" Kyaaaaah! Gray-sama's jealous and wants Juvia for himself." Juvia begin to fantasized about her and Gray's love
" Huh?" Gray gaped at her " Do you even know the large difference between what we said?" But unfortunately for him. Juvia was already at the other world and was unable to be brought back unless her fantasy had finished.
With Powerhouse team.
" Just how many are there?" Natsu complained
" Thousands...maybe. We already fought about half, and add Jura-san and Ichiya-san's sudden appearance, plus the damage we and the others left are doing..." Sting calculated in his mind " I think my Cerebrum had just exploded. Ugh...I am NEVER going to try thinking again."
" Bwahaha...That's why we let Lucy do those things." Natsu said as he punched a monster who was attempting to creep behind him " And wait, You have a Cerebrum?"
Sting high-kicked Natsu's jaw, giving the reason " There was another monster behind you and thinking of a plan to hit him without hitting you is so troubling so I thought 'Hey. Why not hit Natsu-san with it. I'm sure he won't mind'"
Brighter and hotter flames surrounded Natsu " Oh, I don't mind. So don't mind when I kick your ass, bastard." He glared
" ...There they go again." Yukino said " Sting, take Wendy out of here quick!" She yelled, stopping the fight between the two.
" Eh? Why?" Wendy asked
" I'm going to summon Ophiuchus. He's going to be extremely destructive so you can't stay here. Plus, Porlyusica-san had also told you about Lucy-chan's wish. We'll hold them back. No matter how many they are... it's for Lucy. So grant Lucy's wish and save her. Sting, Wendy."
Both of them nodded. Sting carried Wendy in a piggy-back and quickly zoomed off.
'Sting?' A voice sounded in his head
'What? ' he thought back
'This is Hibiki. I'm talking to you in your mind with the help of the archive. I have located Lucy's whereabouts. She's in the throne room. 3rd room on the left, 10th floor.' The voice in his head was muffled a bit until another voice spoke up ' This is Levy McGarden, I'm Lu-chan's bestfriend. Please Save Lu-chan, Sting!' She pleaded
" Got it." He answered as he sped off to the 10th floor with Wendy on his back.
The 10th floor was unexpectedly peaceful— Forget about what I said. It was suddenly occupied by a vast number of Dark Mages who were probably there to protect their King.
They tried to force their way through but it was just deflected by the human barrier who was covering the way towards the door of the Throne room.
" Tch. I can't waste my time here when Lucy needs me." Sting muttered to himself " If We can't force our way through, Then we just have to make an aisle where we can pass."
" Sting-nii, let's do a unison raid." Wendy whispered
Sting nodded.
" Unison Raid: Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Shattering Light: Holy Sky Drill!"
Their magic fused and attacked on one direction: towards the Throne room door. The path towards it and the whole 10th floor was swept clean, removing the mages that were once standing there.
" Let's go Wendy." Sting was about to run with her when she pulled him back. Wendy collapsed on her knees " I'm sorry...I've used too much magic and I'm drained now. Please save Lucy-nee, Sting-nii. Don't worry about me, They will probably find me later." She said as she fell unconscious on the floor.
Sting whistled really loudly and a red cat with a blue vest came flying in from the window.
" Lector, carry her back to camp. She had already done enough."
Lector nodded but hesitated for a moment " What about you Sting-kun?" He asked
" I would defeat Zeref and get Lucy back. I swear it on my life." He answered " I'm going to be fine and after this we can all go back to normal with the Guild, the team and everyone. So wait for us, Lector."
Lector sobbed " I-I-If you don't bring back Lucy-chan, I-I-I will n-never f-f-forgive you."
Sting smiled and petted him " I know, I won't forgive myself either. I'm going to get her back so for now, Take care of Wendy."
Lector nodded again and flew away with Wendy.
Sting walked towards the Door towards the throne room which was surprisingly not destroyed by their attack. From his earlier smile, he grew serious.
He was going to get Lucy back. No matter what. It was after all, his duty as her mate.
So how was it? Tell me what you think.
And they're really, really back to the world of magic.
Btw, Thanks anime-addictive~san, I had thought of another plot for a StiCy fanfic. I am currently typing it and still ask for people's opinion about it before posting it.
So that's all... And Don't forget to R&R :)
