Here we go Chapter 2, and I guess Mira would like to do the honors for me. I mean it is fair since I let Erza do the first one.
Mirajane: Damn right! You hear that tin can?! Its my turn!
Erza: Just get it over with, Im not getting any screen time other than this anyway.
Mirajane: Author-Sama owns nothing from Fairy Tail. Although I wish he did so I could have a knight in shining armor.(Winks at Shio who scratches the back of his head sheepishly)
Author:...Okay lets go and those wondering Ryu and Shio are on Laxus level.
Chapter 2: The Healing Devil Slayer
"Elf-Nii? it's me Lisanna, let's go home to Fairy Tail together okay?" Elfman had been overtaken by the beast which had he had failed to completely take over. The Beast roared as Lisanna stood up with her arms wide.
"Lisanna! Don't do it! He doesn't remember you!" A sixteen year old Mirajane yelled as tears rolled down her eyes. Her right arm was injured and her left leg nearly broken. Furthermore she had no more magic power.
"RAWRRRRRRR!" The Beast brought its arms down in full swing. Lisanna closed her eyes and waited for the impact. Mirajane seeing this screamed out.
"NOOOOOO!" However The Beast swatted thin air, it looked around wondering where it's prey was. Mirajane heard a sonic boom and right next to her was a man who seemed about two years older than her. He had a blue cloak and his hair was tied into a small ponytail, she noticed that he also had a beautiful blue trident.
"Are you okay?" He asked as Mirajane nodded and looked down at an unconscious Lisanna. The mans hands began to glow white as he placed his hand on Lisanna's head.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm healing her, and I'll heal you next."
"Healing magic? A magic long lost, How can he have it?." He then turned to her with a toothy grin.
"Don't worry about 'The Beast', my Nii-San is taking care of it."
"What?! No, but that thing is dangerous and it's my brother he tried using take over on that thing!" She stopped talking as he put a hand on her head, and gave her his signature toothy grin. She began feeling a warm feeling as a silver light surrounded her body healing her leg and her arm. A light blush appeared on her face.
"What's your name? And why is a pretty girl like you and your siblings trying to take down the beast?" She blushed and began to sputter.
"My name is Mira and my sister Lisanna and brother Elfman were trying to subdue it. I'm and S-Class mage of Fairy Tail." Mira said.
"Really? Well I'm Shio, dont worry Mira-Chan we'll try our best to help your brother. After all you got the 'Devil Brothers' to help you!" Mirajane widened her eyes. The "Devil Brothers" were bounty hunters of the highest skill constantly hired by the Magic Council.
"Stay here and don't move. We'll be right back with your brother." Mirajane opened her mouth to say something but then she heard that sonic boom again. Suddenly the man just disappeared as she widened her eyes looking around.
"ROARRRR!" The beast roared from afar, but this time what she heard was a roar of pain.
(Earlier with Ryu)
"Breath of the Fire Demon!" Ryu let out a powerful stream of silver flames which slammed right into the Beast. However the Beast roared even louder and continued charging towards Ryu. He waited for it to raise it's fist to connect. Ryu needed to get some distance between the injured, so that Shio could heal them.
The Beast brought it's fist down onto Ryu who slipped out of the way. He jumped onto its arms and teleported the beast into the forest. You could only travel half the distance when you do this however that was enough as a sonic boom then resonated. "Devil Art: Sound Ceremony."
Ryu jumped above the beast and brought his leg down. "Fire Devils Axel Kick!" His leg slammed right in between the eyes of the Beast making it roar in pain. Ryu then brought his other foot and slammed it into it's nose to push himself off.
"Tch." Ryu frowned as the Beast roared even louder. He wanted to use his sword however something told him not to do it. A warriors intuition.
"Nii-San!" He heard a sonic boom as his younger brother appeared right next to him. "Apparently that is their younger brother and he tried a full body takeover on the Beast."
"Foolish." Ryu said as the beast charged them. "Refrain from hitting any vital spots if you draw your weapon."
"Alright! "Sea Devils Water Seal!" A large silver orb appeared in between his hands, he then launched the orb towards the Beast.
"ROARR!" When the orb collided with the Beast, it found itself stuck in a bubble of silver water. It began to thrash around and was about to break out. Ryu then charged forward about to draw his katana.
"Fire Devils Splitting Flame." A large silver flame began to surround Ryu as he charged. The fire slammed into the beast as it broke out of its watery prison. He suddenly appeared behind the Beast as it roared. Suddenly multiple cuts appeared all over it's body. One last attack was all they needed. Ryu sheathed his katana and looked over to Shio who nodded.
"BREATH OF THE FIRE DEVIL!"
"BREATH OF THE SEA DEVIL!"
The Beast roared in pain as a highly pressurized blast of water struck it's stomach. Then it felt another pain as it's backside was burning in pain. Shio saw as the beast rolled back its eyes and began shining white to show that it was forming back into Mira-Chans brother Elfman. A sonic boom resonated as Ryu appeared right next to Elfman followed by Shio.
"Can you heal him?"
"Are you kidding me? I can heal everyone and you know it!" Shio said loudly as Ryu sighed. His brother was so immature. Shio placed his hands over Elfman and a silver light soon began to heal all the cuts and bruises on him.
"Nii-San"
"What is it Otouto?"
"They are from Fairy Tail….it's Erza-Chans guild." Shio said as he looked up at Ryu who looked away. The wind began to pick up as their cloaks were rising with the wind.
"I…...I cannot face her yet."
"Nii-San! Aer-Chan would have wanted you to move on."
"Otouto." Ryu said in his most serious voice.
"I…..I'm sorry Nii-San." Ryu hefted Elfman onto his shoulder. Then sonic booms resonated and the three were gone.
(Mirajane)
Mirajane never expected the infamous "Devil Brothers" would be here and save them. She heard stories about them and when they wiped out a dark guild, they would present their corpses publicly.
She shuttered. "Could they really be the 'Devil Brothers'?Shio was so...cheerful and happy go lucky."
"Yo!" A sonic boom echoed as she saw Shio standing in front of her. Tears fell down her eyes as she saw that Elfman was just fine. She saw Shio's brother who looked exactly like him except that he had red eyes and short hair, she also noticed his red cloak floating in the wind.
"This is my Nii-San, Ryu." Shio jabbed a thumb back towards Ryu who nodded. "Let's get you guys out of here…..can you stand yet?"
"Yes, I can stand." Shio then walked over to the unconscious Lisanna and picked her up bridal style. Mirajane slowly stood up and began walking towards the village with Shio and Ryu. Ryu was walking ahead of Mirajane and Shio who were walking side by side, Mirajane would look over at Lisanna every few seconds, still afraid.
"I see that you truly love your siblings, I can understand that feeling." Shio said. Mirajane nodded.
"I...I couldn't do anything at all. I was so weak." Shio frowned as she said this.
"Hey! Don't put yourself down beauty. Sure its gonna be difficult, but you will get through it." Shio said as Mira smiled to herself, she also had a light blush going on.
(Village Hotel room)
Ryu placed Elfman down onto a bed next to his sister Lisanna. Mirajane looked at them in worry as Shio placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Elfman should be up in about an hour or two for sure." Shio said with a toothy grin. The sun rose as the light pierced through the window shining on the twins. Lisanna began to awake as well and saw her sister.
"Nee-Chan?" Lisanna saw her older sister.
"Oh my god, Lisanna! " Mirajane clasped her hands around Lisanna.
"Wh-what happened?"
"They showed up in the nick of time to help us." Mirajane said as she pointed over to the men. Well they seemed to be a little older than Mirajane. The one with blue eyes looked over at her and gave her a grin.
"Yo! Lisanna-Chan." He said with a wave. "I'm Shio, and over there is Ryu, he is my Nii-San and you guys sure were in trouble!"
"Oh, thank you for helping us Shio-san."
"Mah, mah, call me Shio-Kun, we are friends after all. you too Mira-Chan." Mirajane blushed and nodded as Lisanna's eyes darted back and forth between them and a sly smile. Lisanna looked over to Ryu who was leaning on his back on the wall. His red eyes gave her the chills, but she knew he had to be a good person if he had saved them. right?
"So, you guys came from Fairy Tail right?" Shio asked as Lisanna nodded with a smile on her face. "Sounds like a really nice place."
"It is! Everyone in Fairy Tail is family, we love another and care for one another!"
"Wow…..must be a nice place." Shio said as he tilted his head to the side. Lisanna began to giggle. "What's so funny?"
"You remind me of a friend back at Fairy Tail."
"Do I?" Interesting. Mirajane watched the conversation with a smile on her face. Shio was so warm hearted, it was hard to believe that he was one of the Devil Brothers. However Ryu on the other hand just emanated the word power however she could also feel sadness.
"Do you guys know someone named Erza?" Shio asked as he looked over to Ryu who frowned at him. He gave his brother a cheeky grin.
"Hell yea the tin can is my rival." Mirajane said she then looked over to the twins in confusion. "How do you two... know her?"
"I brought her to Fairy Tail." Ryu said before Shio could even talk. Ryu didn't need his Otouto to speak his history for him. The room fell silent for about ten seconds before Mirajane and Lisanna both got up and pointed their fingers at Ryu in a comical fashion.
"Y-y-y-y-you're" Lisanna began sputtering.
"You are the T-t-t-t-tin Can's!" Mira began to sputter as well.
"DREAM MAN!" They both yelled out at the same time.
"Huh….?" Shio wasn't quite getting what the girls were trying to tell Ryu.
"It makes so much sense! Erza is always saying "Ryu" when she is napping or in her sleep!" Lisanna said.
"She was always touchy on the subject, saying stuff like when are you gonna come back for me and shit." Mirajane then looked over at Ryu with a scowl on her face.
"What?"
"So, when are you gonna come back?" He didn't even hear her as a sonic boom resonated and he was gone. Shio sighed and looked over at Mirajane.
"Mira-Chan, I'm terribly sorry about Nii-San, but somethings have happened. I'd prefer if you not tell Erza you met us here." A sonic boom later and he was gone too, however Mirajane noticed a blue rose in her hair.
"You likkkke him." Lisanna said as Mirajane gave her a glare, they both then looked over at Elfman wondering what it would be like when he woke up.
(Outside the village)
Ryu held a letter in his hand, it seems like the Magic Council required them to do some more hunting. He heard a sonic boom as his brother appeared next to him as he opened the letter and read it's contents, When he was done he handed Shio the letter.
"They want us to take out a group of dark guilds, with an accomplice." Ryu said as Shio finished reading the letter.
"Who?"
"Zero the Sound Dragon Slayer." Ryu said as Shio grinned.
"Haha, I love that guy's random rambling." Shio replied with a cheeky laugh.
"Let's go we need to get to the rendevous point." Ryu said as two sonic booms resonated.
(In a forest somewhere)
"Ne, Zack, remember when we went fishing that one day? and there was that hot ass chick?" Said a teenager with a mask and a white scarf. He had a black mask covering the bottom half of his face and had a sword on his waist and his hair was spiked up red with a white tip sticking out in front of his forehead . This was Zeronos Draxel, student of the sound dragon Axel.
"Zero, you talk too much you know that?" A white cat with a similiar outfit said as Zero kept rambling. "I wish you would stop rambling, I mean you are 16 already."
"OH! We are gonna be working with the Devil Brothers again. Hehehe I'll show them how strong I got since last time! Can't wait to see Shio-san although his brother does scare me." Zero kept rambling.
"You shouldn't talk that way about Ryu-san." Zack said as two sonic booms resonated.
"Yo!" Shio said as Zero and him gave each others cheeky grins. Ryu merely nodded in affirmation to Zero's presence.
"So, what are we supposed to do?" Zero asked as Shio looked over to Ryu.
"We have to hunt down three dark guilds known as Laughing Coffin, Sleeping Knight, and Dark Abyss, also they seem to have a good number of mages and are the bigger guilds in the balam alliance." Ryu said as Zero began listening seriously, man this guy was weird. "Also there is a meeting going on and about 140 mages are gonna gather and we have to take them out."
"Any restrictions?" Zero said.
"No, the magic council doesn't care as long as we can get the job done, however they want two or three alive for interrogation."
"Well, that makes this so much easier, like that one tim-." Zero began to ramble on again as Zack merely floated on top of his friend shaking his head at his childish antics.
(20 minutes later in a creepy ass forest)
There were a large number of dark mages gathering around. Today was the day that two members of the lead branch were supposed to meet them and this branch was Grimore Heart.
"Man when are they gonna get here? Frigging Grimore Heart thinks they're so much better than us." A mage said.
"Oi, I don't think we should be saying that about the big dogs. You could just disappear for all we know!"
"Man, you gotta man up you can't just let people walk all ov-" Everyone stopped and screamed while clutching their ears. A high frequency was emitting throughout the area. When it stopped Zero appeared being carried by Zack who had earplugs, not just any earplugs MAGICAL ones, because fuck logic.
"Roar of the Sound Dragon!" A series of soundwaves came crashing down upon the ground creating vibrations and killing all who were hit. The others however began hurling spells of fire which much to their surprise was going somewhere else.
(Ryu)
Ryu began eating the fire magic that was being used to shoot down Zero. He looked over to Shio who nodded and jumped up into the air.
"Sea Devils Great Shockwave!" A blue magic circle appeared in front of his mouth as he released a torrent of silver water, the amount of water however was enough to create a large lake and flooded the area the mages were in.
"What the heck?!" The mages began to panic, not just from that but also because Ryu and Shio were running on water! Shio brought out his trident and stabbed it into the water splitting it and making a path for Ryu who ran towards the deeper part of the forest.
"Otouto, You and Zero take care of these trash!" Ryu yelled as Shio looked over to him and nodded. Shio turned and began to suck up all the water and the mages all glared at him. He heard a couple explosions not too far away and smirked to himself.
"Zero, seems to be having some fun. I might as well too then!" Shio jumped forward and thrusted his trident into the chest of the nearest enemy. He used his Sound Ceremony to move around the battlefield.
"It's just two men! Kill them!" The mages then shot a variety of elemental magic, which Shio had agilely evaded them all. When he got close enough to the first mage he lifted his palm up to the mages face.
"Sea Devils Piercing Palm" From his palm a torrent of water pierced through the mans head and doing the same to about five others behind him. He then spun his trident in a spinning motion sending waves of water that slashed right through the remaining mages cutting them in half as blood spilt all over.
"Yo, Shio-san!" He looked up as Zero waved at him with a grin which he returned. It felt good to let loose a bit. He quickly felt a twisted presence behind him and quickly turned to deflect the thrust of a spear with his trident.
"The blood...it looks so good." A man with blond hair tied into a long ponytail looked at Shio with a crazy grin. "Ne, let's play for a bit."
"What!the!fuck!?" Shio yelped. The man kicked him in the stomach sending him skidding back a couple of feet. Shio, who got a good view of the enemy, was wearing an all black outfit with a purple cape. What standed most however was his black Grimoire Heart symbol on his right hand. He was also holding his spear in his left hand.
"The name is Tai, fourth in command of Grimoire Heart, and I love the splattering of blood!" He dipped his spear in the blood that was on the ground and licked it off. "I really wanna know, WHAT YOUR'S TASTE LIKE!" Tai slammed his spear like a sword at the side of Shio who blocked it. Shio returned the favor from earlier and kicked him away to make some distance.
"BREATH OF THE SEA DEVIL!"
"So, this is why I was so interested in you!" Tai sucked in his breath. "BELLOW OF THE SEA GOD!"
"What?!" Shio watched as two highly pressurized beams of water one black and one silver slammed into each other. The fight would've continued however a beam of sound slammed right into Tai pushing him back.
"Shio-san!" Shio looked up and grinned at Zero. "I took out the other forces! I think Ryu took out the rest up ahead!"
"Awww, I wanted you all to myself, Devil Slayer!" Tai then began to turn into black water. "We'll meet again…..Devil Slayer….and I will have your blood."
"That was one creepy mofo." Shio said to himself, he then widened his eyes. He realized Ryu was by himself. "Zero! Let's go help Nii-San!"
(Ryu)
"Gack!" Ryu was currently holding a dark mage by his neck, he had crushed his windpipe killing him effectively. When he let go of the mage he noticed thirty or more had surrounded him.
"Go! Attack him!" They all charged Ryu as he sighed, he used his left hand to unsheathe his katana a little bit.
"Fire Devils Last Breath." He whispered as a silver flame emitted from his body, it ghastly approached and flowed through the mages and surroundings. When the flame subsided, all the mages were heavy cut by Ryu's attack, only a few were still left, barely alive.
"Interesting…." Ryu looked over with an emotionless face to the owner of the voice. It was a man with blond hair that was up in a mohawk. He had a long sword tied to his waist and a white outfit with a purple cape. Ryu noticed his Grimoire Heart symbol on his right hand.
"Man, little brothers are so weird sometimes aren't they? I've got one called Zancrow, annoying little guy, but he is blood." The man said as he made eye contact with Ryu. Crimson eyes met crimson. "The name is Zansai, 3rd in command of Grimoire Heart."
"What, is your purpose here?" Ryu said as he unsheathed his Katana. He pointed it in the direction of Zansai who smirked.
"Straight down to business eh? Well for one I'm here to measure your strength!" In a flash he appeared in front of Ryu, who was not fazed. A sonic boom resonated and he was behind Zansai, who quickly turned around to parry his blow. They held their swords for a while seeing who would push who back. To Zansai's surprise, he felt Ryu's immense strength rise as he was pushed back. Zansai jumped back avoiding a loss in a test strength. They both charged magical energy for the next attack.
"BREATH OF THE FIRE DEVIL!"
"BELLOW OF THE FIRE GOD!"
"BOOM!" A huge explosion erupted as Ryu covered his eyes with his arm. Suddenly a black fire shot towards him and in reaction Ryu bursted into silver flames and tackled it head on. The black and silver flames pushed against each other fighting for dominance. There was no victor, and both jumped back from the debris of the attack. All that was left was a huge crater where the forest once stood.
"That was pretty fun Ryu-kun." Zansai's head was formed out of the black flames. Ryu showed his face as well looking over at the dark mage. "I met you once you know…..It was on a mission in Bosco two years ago during the revolution. It was to hunt down a certain girl…."
"..." The silver flames intensified with silent anger as the ground began to melt.
"That's right! I killed Aer the Princess, daughter of the former king of Bosco!" He charged Zansai as they both materialized. Katana met longsword as Zansai gave a grin at the look of Ryu's angered face.
"Oh...you loved her didn't you? I was there when you promised her you would protect her at her little flower garden."
"I'll….I'll kill you." A cold and dark look emerged from Ryu's glowing red eyes.
"That would be great, however." Zansai looked up as a large aircraft sentdown a purple beam touching his body. "See you later...Devil Slayer!" He dematerialized into the ships beam.
Right as he was dematerializing. Ryu looked up at Zansai who looked down at him with a grin. He widened his eyes as Ryu disappeared and reappeared right next to him and kicked him out of the beam.
"Gack!" Zansai screamed as Ryu grabbed his face and smashed him into the ground, Ryu then dug his fingers into Zansai's neck and increases the pressure of his grip. Bright white flames bursted out from Zansai's neck. Zansai became engulfed in the flames and screamed out a surreal cry.
"GAHHHHHHH!" The intense flames seem to eat away at Zansai's flesh, as it corrupts and burns the scenery into black ash. Suddenly a torrent of black water covers the bright white flames. The water instantaneously turns into a shadowy mist.
"FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK!?" Tai realized his water is no match for Ryu's flames, and then charged to kick Ryu off his partner. Though it was a brief moment, the flames were enough to burn Tai's foot to the third degree. He quickly grabbed his partner for the retreat. Tai looked upon his partner a second time to insure it was him, then proceeded to leave.
Ryu who had still been seething with anger took a step forward to follow the two retreating mages. His flames still burning everything around him as the flames began to form a devil like creature.
"Nii-San!" Shio began to release water and used it to surround Ryu, he could feel that his emotions were in turmoil. Zero noticed the burning flames and punched the ground sending a vibration expelling the flames.
"Nii-San!" The water trapped Ryu as the Devil like creature surrounding him faded, he fell to one knee and faded into unconsciousness still on one knee.
"Let's just go and finish what we came here to do." Shio said as he walked away with Ryu on his shoulders and Zero following along.
