Ok everybody I'm back again with another chapter to request. Honestly this story is fun but I can't wait to write the revise to this story.
Better vocabulary, Plot, Character Devoloment, but most of all Fight Scene's. But it has come to my conclusion that eventually Kazuki actually HAS to be Etherious.
Thing is that's kinda impossible since he's human and I can't think of a actual way he can become one. The only thing I got is if he merges with Xenovik after those two get to that bff level.
But the problem with that is that... Fusion for lack of better term would have 2 personalities, 1 for Kazuki lazy, someone nice, and caring personality.
And Xenovik's Upbeat, Cruel, and hateful personality which frankly I don't want to deal with.
But luckily for you I have made a decision on how to turn him but won't be revealed till later this chapter.
But enough of my ranting, if you'd like to join me then message me either in a pm or review.
On the today's chapter,
Chapter 10: Coming to Terms; Part 2
(" " is regular talking)
(' ' is regular thinking or Xenovik thinking)
-Hall of Illusion-
Kazuki looks at the mysterious person with tears starting to form into his eyes. "How are you here? What's going on?"
The person who is confirmed to be a lady, walks up in front of him. "My my look how tall you've gotten! Seems as if your father would be jealous!" The lady says smiling.
"M-Mom..." Kazuki starts full on crying into the women's shoulder. "Oh come on, you know I hate to see you cry" Cynthia says hugging her son.
The emotion of sadness and despair are suddenly replaced by a sense of hate and rage,"Xenovik what's your game?!"
Xenovik sighs,'This place is called the hall of illusion for one reason if you can past its test then you'll be rewarded greatly.'
Cynthia growls,"That devil is still trying to pursade you or something?! Honestly just stay here with me!" She says smiling at the end.
Cynthia reaches out to grab his hand as once Kazuki feels the touch flinches. He takes a deep breath,"Is something wrong sweety?" Cynthia ask.
Kazuki shoves her hand away,"Your not real! Your an illusion and I'm not falling for your tricks!" He says backing up as his aura subconsciously appears with a faint green around it.
"As much as I love and miss everyone I hold dear to me, I have to accept they'll never be coming back! And as much as I wish that I can be everyone's savior and go back in time! I can't!" Kazuki shouts out.
Cynthia smiles,"Good job Kazuki Mizaki, you have passed the first test of Sorrow. By excepting reality you have gotten over your emotional flaw of pain. You may proceed"
As if one que the hallway vanishes revealing he was in an dark celar with the Kanji for Sorrow on the wall. In front of him are a set of stairs going upward.
'Good your no longer gonna let that stupid emotion hold you back. Now go to the next stage!' Xenovik almost demands. Kazuki sighs,"Who the fuck made you the boss of me..." He says walking up the stairs.
As he is walking up the stairs he stops and looks behind him to see "Cynthia" following him. "Is there some kind of reason your following me... Especially looking like my mother?"
Cynthia shakes her head,"Well since you've entered the Hall of Illusion, I'm your proctor". Kazuki sighs really wanting to understand how this will help him later on.
He's knocked out of his thoughts as he enters another hallway like he was previously in. This time he see's another face the he once holded very dear to him.
"Mirajane... What could be wrong with Mira?" Kazuki says outloud. 'It isn't what's wrong to her it's what she holds to you' Xenovik says.
Kazuki just stares at the Mirajane illusion trying to understand the point of this room. "I don't get it Mirajane has been nothing but kind, sweet, and loving towards everybody..."
Then it dawns upon him the problem and it makes him furious. "So you telling me in order to master my magic I have to give up all good emotions!" Cynthia nods,"Ruin Devils draw their power by hate and negative spectrum itself. There is no room for anything good."
Kazuki gets even more pissed just by her explaining that,"Well it's time to become a mindless devil because I'm not doing that!" Xenovik sighs,'We're not telling you to become this dark evil guy completely'
'But the longer you hold on to love and the effects that come with, the weaker you'll become. If you can control your emotions then maybe you'll have the chance to love but until then let go' Xenovik finishes.
"...Fine" Kazuki says as closes his eyes and let's all the images of Mirajane and Fairytail over the last few weeks means less to him. Mirajane sighs before fading away sadly.
"Good you've completed room number 2! On to the last and hardest room" Cynthia says happily dispelling the room looking at the stairs up.
Kazuki covers his face with his arm,"Yeah whatever" He says lowly before waking up the stairs. You can see little drops of water occasionally fall behind him.
Xenovik and Cynthia stay silent somewhat pitying the young man. Once the reach the final room Kazuki regains his composure waiting for his final trail to appear.
Suddenly a man appears in front of him that he doesn't recognize. He is tall, extremely muscular, has orange shoulder length hair, and a stubby beard.
Has one biconical arm and has one arm wrapped in bandages. His chest is also wrapped in bandages as he wears a long black cloak with a metallic belt around his waist and dark blue pants.
"Who the heck are you?" Kazuki ask coldly glaring at the man. "Names Gildarts Clive kid." Kazuki looks at the man,"Where have I heard that name before, oh yeah master mentioned you once."
Gildarts chuckles,"Figueres so. So I bet he told you how im the strongest in Fairytail!" He says placing his hands in front of him.
Kazuki glares at him before activating his ring changing into Crow. Gildarts looks at Crow with open eyes before regaining focus and taunting the fighter.
Crow launches himself at the man with his aura around him,"Hametsu Akuma: Hamā!" The punch is thrown aiming at his face as Gildarts stops it with his bandaged arm and kicks him back.
Crow slides back wiping the blood of his mouth,"For an illusion you sure to hit hard! Hametsu Akuma: Berō" Crow shoots the purple and black bean directly at him.
Gildarts smirks as he stretches out his left arm as a white net appears dispelling Crow's attack. Crow disappears into a flock of crows and half of them fly to the right of him while the others go left.
Each flock solidifies and takes the form of 2 Crows who start attacking Gildarts in close combat. "Hametsu Akuma: Suīpu" They both say kicking him into a wall.
"No more hold back!" Crow says as his eyes start to glow red. Crow takes a deep breath as a vortex of his aura appears around him.
"With the feeling of Despair in my right..." Crow starts as a Purple ball starts spinning and grows in his right hand. "And with the Feeling of Vengance in my left..." A ball similar to the right starts to form in his left hand in the color black.
"When combined... Hametsu Akuma: Eguzairu!(Ruin Devils Exile) Crow yells as the two balls merge with each other creating a gaint ball of death itself. Crow jumps in the air and throws the ball at Gildarts who smirks.
Gildarts simply deflects the attack to the left destroying the wall next to him. "What?! That's impossible!"
"Seeing as you said no holding back, I might as well do the same!" He says as a silver aura appears over him. The ground starts to tremble as the aura gets bigger and stronger over time.
Crow starts to sweat from the complete amount of power before pulling himself together. "Hamestu Akuma.." He starts but stops as the aura gets bigger and bigger and he starts to resemble a demon with glowing red eyes.
"Hamā!" He shouts as he rushes towards him. Gildarts eyes get bigger as he glares into Crows eyes. This makes him flinch and stops his attack completely falling to his knees by the immense magic power.
Suddenly a bright gold light appears around Crow as his armor disappears around him taking back his civilian outfit. "H-How are y-you this st-trong" Kazuki says shuddering completely scared shitless.
The magic sure disappears along with Gildarts who is smiling while he leaves. Kazuki slowly gets to his feet,"Huh?"
"That's all you've done what was needed. Fear, you had to get over your pride that would start to develop by your magic. Now you know what fear and don't ever forget that feeling" Cynthia says before dispelling the room and herself.
Kazuki notices the sweat on his face and wipes it off. "Is that it am I done?" Kazuki says surprised. Xenovik mentally nods. 'Yep, but check for yourself'
Kazuki nods as he summons his perfected aura and noticed the darker shade of purple and green in it. "Yep different alright, So are we done here?"
Xenovik mentally shakes his head,'Nope see that stairs in front of you' Kazuki looks at the stairs and nods. 'See how's it's leading you to go down, well I thinks it time to get what I was talking about.'
Kazuki nods and walks downstairs, he enters a room with green paint on the walls and torches keeping the room lit. He notices 5 podiums around a weird symbol almost like a upside down star.
"Is that a..." Kazuki says in shock. 'Yes it is but the choice is ultimately up to you... But like I said, I cannot promise your life' Xenovik says.
"So this is how you become an Etherious huh..." Kazuki says as he looks around the room. He looks on one of podiums and see's a both labeled Curses.
"Hey Xenovik, what is this?" Kazuki says. 'It's a book of Curses, they are basically the Etherious version of magic' Xenovik says.
Kazuki opens the book and starts flipping through out the pages,"Gravity manipulation so... Blood Mimicry... Celestial Summoning... Glyphs..." Kazuki starts to read out random Curses.
After a minute or so he finds 3 that catches his interest,"Hmmm Ash manipulation, Soul Caster, and finally Perspective Illusion" Kazuki says outloud.
'Hmmm Ash manipulation from my memory is in its name enough, Soul Caster uses the power of your soul to make a variety of things from weapons, to a sun if you wanted to.'
'The draw back to it is that if used to much your lifespan will drop insanely, which is why it's a top tier curse but extremely life sacrificial. And Perspective Illusion causes one to make illusion that are real.'
Kazuki thinks to himself,"Well then... I guess I'm going to have to go with..."
-Next Day, Fairytail-
Team Natsu have just gotten back from their mission to Galuna island. "You three are in some serious trouble once we get to the Guild" Erza reassures them.
Gray and Natsu flinch and walk behind Lucy who sighs,"Guys just because Luigi is fat doesn't make her that big!" Happy shouts at them.
"Oh I'll show you fat cat!" Lucy says sinisterly as she takes out her whip. Happy summons his wings and starts flying towards the Guild as Lucy chases after him.
Happy suddenly stops with his eyes wide open,"Guys..." Everyone looks at Happy strangely before looking in his direction. They all see the Guild completely destroyed with metal spikes.
"It can't be!" Erza says in shock. Lucy covers her mouth in sadness as Gray and Natsu both have pissed looks on their faces.
A/N: Sorry had to end it here, but hey I'm knocking to birds with one stone. Even though making him Etherious will be hard to explain it must be done now than later.
So what Curse will you think he'll end up with. Keep in mind it may not even be his top three picks. In my opinion it's pretty obvious if you ask me seeing as it's the coolest of them all from an experimental standpoint.
So yeah... Hope you enjoyed Rate and Review would gladly help boost my ego. And see ya guys next time.
