Recap: "Midnight? If you would?" Yamibri gestured. The lion grinned evilly before kicking the doors open and off their hinges.
"You have some friends of ours. And we want them back." Midnight growled with red eyes. The Flare Edge mages were frozen in shock. Some started trembling when they noticed that most of the group had the Fairy Tail guild mark on them, obviously recognizing it.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Natsu, Gajeel, Midnight, Wendy, downstairs. Get them out of there." Yamibri ordered. The foursome nodded and headed over to a hidden door. The four of them leaped out of the way a wave of water.
"Yami-nee!" Vixenique urged. The silverette nodded with a smirk. The girl let out an insane chuckle before leaping into the throng of mages. Erza and Yamibri quickly joined her while Lucy summoned Taurus.
The three males and the youngest mage quickly headed down the stairs. They found the cages and growled at the sight they found. The two submissives were unconscious, bound, and half-naked.
"They. Are. Going. To. Pay." Midnight hissed as the group went to work on freeing the two without using magic. Once the two had been freed and covered, they headed back upstairs.
There they found Vixenique in fox form, accept much larger, coming to about eight feet. She was currently gnawing on a chair in boredom. Her tails flicked and curled around her. All of the Flare Edge mages were tied together and Cage was being interrogated by Erza. Yamibri leaned against the wall, staring out the window. Lucy was sitting in a chair while staring at the ground.
"What's wrong?" Midnight questioned as he shifted his mate in his arms. The younger of the Platinum Wolves shifted and stirred, but the drug kept him asleep.
"We have an issue." Lucy said with a sigh.
"Don't we always." Gajeel sighed as everyone took a seat. The two submissives were placed against Vixenique's side. The two were covered by her fluffy tails. The giant fox yawned before settling down for a nap, a multitude of felines claiming spots on her to relax.
"These guys are nothing but lackeys?" Natsu asked. Yamibri nodded with a scowl.
"So what do we do?" Wendy asked.
"We stop them of course." Erza answered as though the answer was obvious.
"And how, pray tell, do we do that hmm? I refuse to allow my younger brother and cousin to be sold on the black market as sex slaves." Yamibri growled, glaring at the redhead. Erza backed down when she realized she didn't have a comeback to that.
"I may have an idea." Lucy said. Everyone turned to the blonde and shivered.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"What could be so important that I have to be here Cage?" an older man asked as he entered the guild. He appeared to be about fifty with salt-and-pepper hair that was swept to the side. He was about 5'7 and wore a black tailored suit. He also had a cane. He blinked when he realized that most of the guild members were covered in bandages.
"Ah, Terry-sama! I thought you would be interested in finding a new pet. We caught some powerful new finds." Cage answered as he hobbled over to the man. His right arm and left leg were in casts, his neck was in a brace, and there were some bandages all over his body.
"What happened to you?" Terry asked.
"Our newest finds. They didn't want to give in, but we came out on top." Cage answered. Terry nodded as he followed Cage.
"I'm sure that they weren't a problem for Flare Edge's strongest mage." Terry commented as the two headed downstairs. There they visited both cages. Each one of them held two people, a boy and a girl each.
The first cage contained two teens, a boy and a girl, who were obviously twins. Both had dark hair, with the girl having purple streaks running through the length.
The second cage also held a girl and a boy. The boy had white hair with silver streaks while the girl's hair was completely blonde.
Terry grinned at the scrapes and bruises that littered the four teens. His grin was met by four glares, one being midnight, another sapphire, the next gold, and the last brown.
"Very nice Cage. Very nice indeed." Terry praised. Cage grinned happily.
"Such a hard choice." Terry mused as he held the dark-haired boy's chin in his hand. He leaned back as the boy snapped his fangs at him. The teen yelped as Terry slapped him. Midnight colored eyes teared up before they closed in pain. The girl at his side hissed in anger at him.
"I'll take the boys." Terry said as the two re-entered the guild proper.
"I'm glad to hear it." a voice said as the door behind them slammed closed. Terry jumped and spun around.
"Hello Terry Shiroyama." The silverette leaning against the wall said. Yamibri pushed off the wall with a dark smirk.
"Y-you! The Devil Wolf!" Terry yelled as he backed away.
"Nice to see that my reputation precedes me." Yamibri cooed. "Now I have to kill you."
"Why?!" Terry yelled.
"See, those pretty little submissives that you just 'claimed'," here the silverette used air quotes. "Are related to me. My younger brother and cousin." Yamibri said in a deadpan voice. Terry flinched violently, which caused Inner Yami to cheer happily and burst into evil giggles. Inner Yami was a chibi version of Yamibri that lived in her head and expressed her true emotions. Yamibri stayed silent with a blank expression on her face.
"You! You knew!" Terry accused as he turned to Cage. The man shrugged with a dark grin as he engulfed in a deep blue light. When it died down, one viciously grinning Midnight was left in his place.
"You went after my mate. I will make you pay." the lion demon chuckled in sadistic glee. Terry quickly turned away, only to freeze when he saw Erza, a hand on her sword, standing by the door. He glanced at the window only to whimper when he saw Natsu and Gajeel perched on them. The door that led downstairs suddenly opened, admitting Gray, Kean, Lucy, Vixenique, and Wendy. They all glared at the man, Gray especially. Everyone who had been upstairs eyes widened as they noticed the bruise forming on Gray's cheek.
"What? Happened?" Natsu growled as he turned to glare at Terry.
"He wasn't happy that nii-chan wasn't afraid of him." Vixenique hissed.
"Just something that'll be added to his growing list of transgressions." Yamibri growled out.
"Never! I'll never give in!" Terry shouted as he pulled up his sleeve, showing off a magic circle on his arm. It started glowing green. The ground started rumbling and shaking as large vines shot out of the ground. Everyone quickly ran out of the building as the roof started to come down on top of them.
"What is that?!" Wendy shrieked. The large vines continued to grow at a rapid pace, eventually growing larger than the forest that hid the Flare Edge guild.
"Oh hell! Where's the castor?!" Kean questioned franticly. Everyone screamed as they dodged the large vines that threatened to crush them.
"He never left!" Vixenique screeched as she grabbed Wendy and did a back flip to avoid the two of them being crushed.
"Thank you Vixenique-chan." Wendy grinned before the two of them separated to dodge.
"Then it's out of control since he's probably dead." Midnight sighed as the group took cover, Kira and Shiki ran over to them and mewed.
"Ahhh!" four screamed as vines grabbed them and hauled them up into the air. The four were Gray, Kean, Lucy, and Vixenique. The four mages struggled but that stopped when they were squeezed.
"Dammit! I can't get free!" Gray shouted before wincing as the vines tightened.
"N-nani?!" Vixenique screeched as the vines started to slip underneath their clothes.
"No!" Lucy yelled as she fought against the vines. Kean growled and struggled before mewling as the vines brushed against a sensitive spot.
"Ah...no." Gray mewled with a flush. He yelped as the vines suddenly released him. He looked up at Natsu when the pinkette caught him. He looked around to see that Midnight had Kean, Lucy had been freed by Yamibri, and Erza had caught Vixenique. Wendy and Gajeel were taking care of the vines that neared them.
"Screw this. Wendy, Gajeel." Natsu said as he sat Gray down. The two nodded.
"Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu roared as he spat out a fireball.
"Iron Dragon Roar!" Gajeel roared as he blew out a tornado with sharp metal shards inside it.
"Sky Dragon Roar!" Wendy roared as she blew out a tornado of air. The three attacks hit the vines head on and resulted in vines withering slightly. Everyone else noticed that the three attacks weren't doing much to the plant.
"I-it's absorbing the attacks?" Lucy stated with wide-eyes as the three stopped their attacks.
"What?!" Wendy shrieked.
"Oh calm on!" Gajeel groaned.
"It's not absorbing the attacks, its absorbing the magic in the attacks. That's why some of them are affected." Yamibri explained. She nodded at the twins, who nodded in agreement.
"Ice Make: Heaven's Domain!" Gray called as he pressed his hands into the ground. A large amount of ice quickly formed and rapidly spread towards and onto the vines. The vines were quickly engulfed in ice. There was some trembling in the ice as the plant started to absorb the magic in it as well, though at a much slower rate.
"Vixi?" Gray questioned with a grin as he turned to his sister. The female twin nodded with a grin as she leaped onto the vines and used them as springboards. She leaped high into the air while curling up into a ball. When she reached the apex of her jump, she uncurled. She got into the position to kick as gravity started to work its magic.
"Flare Strike!" the fox princess cried as purple flames surrounded her foot. The kick made the ice engulfed plant explode as the girl landed next to her twin.
"Oh!" Everyone cooed as sparkles from the shattered ice and the remnants of Vixen's flames rained down on them.
"Nice!" Midnight said with a thumbs-up.
"Style points for that." Kean answered. Yamibri nodded, though she did so grudgingly.
"Not that this wasn't fun and everything, but can we go back to Hell Manor? I'm tired." Gray yawned as he rubbed at one midnight colored eye. Yamibri snorted, but agreed, nodding and turning away. Everyone decided to trust the platinum she-wolf and quickly followed her lead.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"Bye Yami-chan! Bye Ke-chan! Bye Mid-chan!" Vixenique shouted the next morning as she leaned out of the train window, waving to the trio like a madman.
"Sayonara Yami-nee, Ke-kun, Mid-kun." Gray called as he pulled his sister back from falling out the window as the train started moving. The two males waved while Yamibri nodded before turning away to return to Hell Manor. Gray pulled Vixenique inside and closed the window before taking a seat.
Gray squeaked as both Natsu and Gajeel claimed a shoulder as pillows. He flushed as pink as Natsu's hair before raising a brow.
"You cure motion sickness remember?" Vixenique smirked as she leaned back into her seat.
"Oh shut it!" Gray growled with a glare, though the fact that it looked more like a pout got rid of any of the threat it held. Vixenique threw her head back with a cackle.
-Twins of Fire and Ice-
"We had more action on our little side adventure than on the real mission." Natsu grumbled as the group headed back to the guild hall three days later.
"It's not fair." Vixenique whined with a pout.
"Life isn't fair." Erza stated.
"Mou! But Za-chan!" Vixenique pouted as she turned to the redhead. The dual-tone-haired girl blinked as she looked around. "Hey? Where's nii-chan?" Erza just stood frozen blankly repeating her new nickname.
At that precise moment, Gray exited a shop nearby. He had a bag in one hand and a cinnamon bun in the other. A moan escaped him as he made his way back over to the group after taking a bite.
"Nii-chan! Smells good." Vixenique purred as her eyes slid closed. Gray tilted his head as he took another bite. He shifted his bag to his arm and tore off a piece of the cinnamon bun.
Vixen's eyes snapped open when her twin shoved a piece of the snack into her mouth. Her eyes slid closed with a low moan as she chewed. Gray grinned as he opened the bag to reveal more cinnamon buns, which he offered to the rest of the group. All of them made sounds of pleasure and contentment as they continued on their way to the guild building.
"I know where I'm getting my snacks from now on." Lucy said they entered the guild. The twins, who had been leading the group, froze. This caused the others to run into their backs.
"EH?!" the returning mages all cried out in shock. The rest of the guild turned to stare at them. That included the three people sitting at the bar.
"Miss us?" Yamibri asked with a smirk. Midnight and Kean had matching smirks on their faces. The twins glanced at each other before their eyes rolled to the back of their heads as everything went black.
