Chapter Seventeen: Magnolia battle Concludes
The now monstrous form of the leader of the attack then charges at Yuge and Irene. Yuge in his havoc demon form flies around him and proceeds to strike at the leader's back. Irene followed up by unleashes a bunch of small magical beams toward the front of the leader. He cried out in rage as he charged at Irene. The fel bat rider leader hits her with his giant fist, sending her flying into a building. Yuge then unleashed a dark green beam attack from his eyes, making the fel bat rider leader stumble into a building as well. With a howl of rage, the leader got back up and unleashes a giant roar of fel energy at Yuge, hitting him as he hits the ground. Yuge manages to get back up, and Irene recovers from being thrown into the building.
"This is getting nowhere." Yuge pointed out, "His body's too tough for simple attacks. If we don't find a way to take him down soon, we'll be too exhausted to do anything."
"But what else can we do?" Irene questioned him, as the red haired woman couldn't see a way that they could defeat him another way.
The leader of the fel bat riders were about to continue his attack once more, but then a flame attack hits him in the face. Before he could recover, explosions of bombs hit him in the back. The assault didn't stop as a light and shadow dragon roar hit the leader as well, causing him to fall down. He couldn't get back up as a blast of another unseen attack hit him once more, sending him crashing into another building.
Yuge and Irene looked to see the others have arrived except for Nagura and Makarov.
"You look like you need some help." Rebecca responded to the two injured mages.
"Where's Makarov and Nagura?" Yuge asked his siblings and the other mages.
"They are trying to clear out the rest of the invaders." Brandish answered the blue haired male.
Before anyone could say anything else, a roar was heard as the monstrous form of the fel bat rider leader got back up. He looked furious now.
"YOU… WILL… PAY!" He shouted as he was envelope in some sort of dark green aura.
"Oh, that doesn't look good." Angelica pointed out, getting the others to look at her with a "You think?" look.
The powered up monstrous form of the leader then charged once more toward the others. Rebecca entered her vengeance demon form, surprising the others that weren't her siblings, and charge head on toward the enemy. Rebecca then unleashed a fury of fel fire cover fist at the leader, making him yelled out in pain. Before he could react, Sting, Rogue, and Angelica unleash their dragon roars at the fel bat rider leader. Boom then threw a bunch on bombs at him, causing him to cry out in rage once more. Irene, Brandish, and Yuge then unleash a massive attack at him, sending him into more buildings.
"He's still getting back up!" Yukino warned them as the fel bat rider leader got back up, but it was clear he was injured. The leader then looks at them with a look of rage.
"IF I'M GOING TO DIE… I'M TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME!" The leader then all of a sudden began to glow as raw energy was forming around him.
"What is he doing?!" Sting shouted out as the light dragon slayer noticed the area around the leader of the attack was getting brighter and more unstable.
"He's going to take us and the city down with him!" Yuge managed to figure it out as the others widen their eyes. Was he basically going to blow himself up?
However, before anything else could happen…
*SLASH*
Nagura appeared and slashed her sword at the leader as she speed passed him. The unstable energy and his aura disappeared as his chest and back burst with dark red blood. He then fell to his knees.
"N-NO… I… FAILED…" He spoke his final words as his upper body then fell to the ground as his lower body fell backwards. The two halves of what was once the fel bat rider leader were now on the ground, gushing out blood.
Nagura simply then put her sword back on her waist, as she then made her way to the others.
"You guys alright?" The future daughter of Natsu and Kagura asked the others.
"…You just like to show off don't you?" Yuge asked her as he and Rebecca exited their demon forms.
"I wouldn't have been able to finish him if you all didn't weaken him." She admitted to them.
"Was that all of them?" Rebecca asked her sister.
"There's still a few left, but I think Makarov is taking care of them." Nagura answered.
Before they could say anything else, they heard an explosion near the guild hall. They all turned to see the giant fel bat the leader was on earlier carrying the now demonic Fairy Heart as a few other fel bats and their rider were around it as they opened a portal.
"Fairy Heart!" The future kids shouted out in worry.
"What is that?" Rogue questioned, as he, Sting, and Yukino never seen something like that before.
Irene didn't waste anytime as she flew and dashed herself toward the remains of the invaders to get Fairy Heart back. Before she could do anything else however, One of the fel bat riders unleash an explosion, causing her to shield her eyes from the sudden smoke and blast. When she saw the smoke cleared, the portal was closed. They got away with Fairy Heart.
"Dang it!" The red haired woman shouted in frustration as she landed back onto the ground. The others ran toward her.
"They got away." Nagura spoke with worry.
They heard a cough near then, as they turn to see Makarov getting up from some rubble.
"Makarov!" They shouted as they headed to him.
"Are you alright?" Sting asked the small guild master.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He then grew concern, "But they got away with Fairy Heart. How did they even know about it?" The guild master didn't know how this enemy found out about Fairy Tail's biggest secret.
"What is Fairy Heart?" Yukino asked him, before Makarov could answer though, Yuge spoke.
"Fairy Heart holds the body of our aunt, Mavis. The artifact itself is said to hold so much magic power, it's consider to be infinite. However, it isn't infinite as others believed it. That doesn't chance the fact that Fairy Heart could be used to do almost anything, and in the Legion's case, open a massive gateway for more of the Legion to come through." The future son of Natsu and Juvia explained to the others.
"What is this Legion you keep talking about?" Irene asked him.
"We will explain later," Nagura spoke, "Right now, we need to help the others find any survivors, and find our other brothers and sisters before it's too late."
"Right." Yuge, Angelica, and Rebecca agreed with their sister, as the other simply nodded.
They began to look for any other survivors in the damaged city of Magnolia.
'ELSEWHERE'
Sayla began to wake up, and she found herself in some sort of bed. She was confused at first, before the memories from before came back. Tartaros being destroyed, being chased by some of those weird demons, and being found by that one demon who claims to be her son.
"Oh, you're awake." Sayla heard a voice next to her, and saw Azazel next to her bed on a chair. "I was staring to get worried."
"…Where are we?" The female demon asked her future son.
"We're currently at a hospital in a town I managed to find." Azazel informed her, who looked a bit surprised.
"You brought me to a place of humans?" She asked him in disgust, though she flinches when Azazel glared at her.
"Listen mother, if it weren't for the humans here, you would have ended up in worse condition. So I suggested you be more grateful." The future son of Natsu and Sayla told her. He knew that his mother told him that she used to hate humans, but he hoped it wouldn't be this bad.
Sayla simply looked away, before looking back at him. "Those monsters… those things that destroyed my guild, who or what are they?" She asked him.
"Those were demons of a force called the Burning Legion. And believe me when I say this, that the ones who are here are simply a small group, nothing more." Azazel informed her.
"So there are more of them than what's here then?" Sayla wanted to make sure, as Azazel nodded. "But how is that possible, even before the rest of Tartaros fell, we managed to take down plenty of them. But you're saying that the numbers we killed didn't matter?" She asked him in a stressed voice.
"In a sense, any demon we kill here doesn't matter." Azazel told her, getting her to be surprise. "The demons of the Burning Legion come from something called the Twisting Nether, and every demon we kill simply reforms in there. The only thing we really can do is buy us time and hope to stop them from coming back to attack out world. Our research states that the only way to permanently kill a demon of the Legion is to strike it down in the Twisting Nether itself, or kill a demon in an area that is vastly saturated with demonic magic. Those are the only ways we know, but we believe there are other ways as well." Azazel told her.
"So the ones we kill will simply come back." Sayla figured out, as a wave of sadness filled her. How are they supposed to beat something like that?
"Don't worry." Azazel spoke again, getting her attention. "They can reform in the Nether, but we believe for some of the more powerful demons it takes longer to reform. Not to mention that they still need to find a way to get to our world as well. The only thing we can do is stop them from entering our world once more."
"…So what do you plan to do then?" Sayla asked him.
"Once you're better, we're going to find the rest of my brothers and sisters, and find a way to stop the Legion." He told her.
"We?" She once again asked him.
"Yes, we. You're my mother after all, and I know that you can change for the better. We're going to find my siblings, and were going to find a way to stop the Legion and find a way home." Azazel told her.
Sayla sighed, it's not like she has much of a choice now does she?
"Alright, fine." Sayla replied to him, getting him to smile.
"Good, now rest up. I'll be getting food." Azazel informed her as he went to leave the room, leaving Sayla in her thoughts.
Alright, there goes that chapter. I need to tell you all something though.
Starting next week, I won't be able to update as much as I used too. Due to my older brother coming back to live with us while he goes to college, and as sometime during or beginning of August or September, I will have to work on my school as well. However, don't think this means I will abandon anything. I refuse to give up on my stories, and I hope to finish and keep doing more.
So while it might be hard for me to update, I will still do my best to do so. I'm very happy that you all like my stories, and as cliché it is I never thought I would get this far. I hope you all still stick around, I won' be dead, but I don't think I will be able to update as much as usual, but I will still try. Once again, thank you all for liking my cringe worthy stuff, and I hope you all continue to enjoy.
See you all later, whenever that will be.
