Hello again everyone. I have return with another chapter for you all to hate. Hopefully this one will be more cheerful than the last chapter.
In this one, we get to see how Azazel, Urial, Arial, Gildarts, and Sayla are doing, since I figure we haven't shown much of them that much.
Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Forty Eight: Divided over pineapple
"I'm hungry." Both of the dark purple haired twins spoke at the same time as the group had arrived in another town.
After they managed to get away from the angry mob from the last town due to the battle with the Fel Reaver, the group of five continued their way through Fiore to get to Magnolia. However, according to Gildarts, it would take about another day to arrive at the city.
And right now, the two future twins of Natsu and Kinana were now starving. However they weren't the only ones.
"I'm a bit hungry as well." Gildarts admitted as well. It has been a while since they last ate.
"I guess we can find a place to get some food at then." Azazel saw no problem with getting something to eat.
"Must we stop again?" Sayla questioned. If you ask her, she saw it rather pointless to continue to take a break from getting to their destination. To the Etherious female, they should keep moving forward to find the three's other siblings. Constantly stopping isn't going to get them anywhere.
"Yes mother, we can't keep going on an empty stomach after all." Her future son answered her, "And besides, I'm sure you need some food as well."
"I don't need any food." Sayla responded with her normal bored face.
However her stomach decided this was the perfect chance to prove her wrong and let out a small growl. Sayla's eyes widened as the others merely look at her with a deadpanned stare. She couldn't help but blush a little from embarrassment.
"Looks like someone's lying." Gildarts pointed out with a sing along voice, as the orange haired man couldn't help but grinned like an idiot from that. Sayla only glared at the man, which got the father of Cana to nervously sweat from her gaze, "…I'll be quiet." He simply said. Why do women tend to have scary glares?
"Can we get pizza?" Arial requested of the others. The dark purple haired female could go for some of that right now.
"Oh I agree! We should get pizza!" Uriel agreed with his twin sister.
"Is there even a place here that has that?" Gildarts questioned, since they didn't know what this town had to offer.
"It doesn't hurt to look around to see." Azazel replied with a shrug. The future son of Natsu and Sayla didn't see a problem with looking around the town. If there's nowhere with pizza, then they'll just get something.
"I'm confused," Sayla started to speak, getting the four to look at the Etherious woman, "What's this pizza stuff you're talking?" To her, it sounded like some kind of food that humans make.
"Uh, only one of the best foods in the whole world!" Uriel stated with stars in his eyes, "Pizza is literally a gift of the Gods themselves bestow to us! Once you get a taste of it you'll love it!" The male twin exclaimed. This got Azazel to sweat drop, as he thought Uriel sounded like Garad when it comes to alcohol.
"I don't know about that." Azazel responded, which got both Uriel and Arial to gasp in horror by their brother's words. This only got him to sweat drop at their exaggeration.
"You're weird," Arial simply replied before her face light up again, "I already know what I'm going to get though. I'm going to get one with pepperoni, and one with sausage, and one with ham!"
"Me too!" Uriel agreed with his twin sister.
"…So a Meat Lovers?" Gildarts asked them. To him, that's what it sounded like to the older orange haired man.
"Nah, we actually like to keep the meat separate," Uriel explained to him, "Arial and I always like to savor each animal." Both him and Arial couldn't help but get excited, they always enjoyed eating pizza; it was one of their favorites.
"Wait, don't they all have pig-?" Gildarts was interrupted as Ariel spoke up once more.
"Actually, now that I think about it, for the one with the ham, I'll make it Hawaiian!" She told them with a large smile.
"Oh good thinking Arial! I'll do the same!" Uriel agreed wit his sister.
Sayla only remained silent, as she didn't understand what any of them were talking about. The female demon only knew of the simple foods that humans eat like fruit and simple meat, not all of this combination stuff like pizza. Azazel looked confused though by his brother and sister's choices.
"Hawaiian?" The black haired demon spoke with curiosity, getting the twins attention, "What kind of pizza is that?" He questioned, as he never heard of that kind before.
"You never heard of Hawaiian pizza?" Uriel questioned his brother in shock, who only shook his head.
"Azazel, it's super good! It has both ham and pineapple." Arial explained, as both her and Uriel mouths began to water at the thought.
However, they snapped out of this as they noticed Azazel looking at them as if they had lost there minds.
"…Excuse you?" The future son of Natsu and Sayla questioned, hoping that he heard them wrong.
"Ham and pineapple." Uriel told him, thinking that he just didn't hear them.
"That is disgusting!" Azazel stated with a look of disgust, "Why would you ruin perfectly good pizza with pineapple?" He questioned the dark purple haired twins.
"What? No it's the best!" Uriel responded to the fully demon brother in defense.
"Yeah Azazel!" Arial also came to the defense of their choice, "It just tastes to well with the ham and-."
"It's an abomination and I now believe Uncle Zeref did nothing wrong!" Azazael simply countered with a glare at his brother and sister.
"Wait did you say Uncle Zeref?" Gildarst questioned with widen eyes. Did he mean as the dark wizard Zeref? He knew that Natsu was created by him, but why did Azazel call him Uncle?
Unfortunately for him they didn't seem to be listening as they were still arguing about pizza and pineapple.
"Why would you put a sweet and juicy fruit, on top of a salty, delicious pizza?" The black haired male asked the twins.
"I don't see the big deal," Sayla spoke up, getting them to look at the female demon, "Don't humans mix things together all the time?" She didn't understand why her future son was against the idea of a fruit being added. Did it just not taste good?
"Mother, please don't play Devil's advocate here, less you suggest we fill calzones with raspberry jam." Azazel told the woman who will one day give birth to him.
"I don't know what any of those are." Sayla simply replied.
"…That sounds delicious." Arial admitted. She wouldn't mind trying something like that.
The next thing the dark purple haired woman knew Azazel grabbed her by the face with his hand.
"Of course you say that!" Azazel exclaimed with annoyance as he glared at his sister, who was trying to get out of his grip, "I'm an epicurean! You wolf down big macs like tic tacs!" He stated while looking annoyed still.
"Oh I want a burger now." Arial simply replied, "Can we just get burgers instead?" She requested.
"Hm…," Azazel began to think as he let go of his sister's face and got into a thinking position, "Now that you mention it, I could kill a Fel demon for a good burger." He admitted.
"…So are we getting burgers then?" Gildarts spoke up trying to keep up with it all, getting their attention. It was weird for them to wanting pizza to burgers. But hey, if it gets them to calm down then that's alright.
"Yes, and I already know what I'm going to get." Azazerl stated, which got Sayla to be interested.
"And what would that be?" The Etherious female asked her future son.
"I'm going to get a double bacon cheeseburger, caramelized onions, lettuce, chipotle mayo, and ketchup. Oh, and no pickles." Azazael informed her. It was clear he have had this kind of burger before to memorize all of that.
"I'll guess we'll take the same…" Uriel started to say.
"But with grilled pineapple!" Arial finished with a happy tone and large smile.
Everyone in the town was confused when they suddenly heard someone *Cough* Azazel *Cough* screaming in annoyance and anger.
'IN ERA'
"How are you feeling?" Ruby asked her mother Meredy as they were all currently in one of the buildings in the city that haven't been devastated by the fighting. The mother and daughter duo were sitting at one of the tables in the main room of the building.
Everyone from the cavern managed to head back up to the surface in the remains of Era. Since the Legion forces were defeated, those who fled the city met back up in the damaged city. Currently, our heroes were in a large infirmary building that luckily wasn't too damaged, thus allowed them and some of the citizens to have shelter. Hisui was with the soldiers of the town that were still alive, and was discussing to them about sending a message to her father back in Crocus to send aid to Era. The others were either helping out with making sure everyone was safe and taken care of, or were simply resting. A few like Mira, Kinana, Cosmos, Garad, Yuge, Layla, Angelica, and Rose were making food to help feed everyone, since no doubt the fighting got them to be starving. That and everyone needed the energy.
"I'm alright," Meredy assured her future daughter, though her eyes were still puffy and red from crying, "I-It just hurts you know? I've already lost Ultear, and n-now Jellal too…" She tried to wipe away any new tears that threatened to form and spill. Seeing her mother in his state hurt Ruby. She didn't want her mother to be sad anymore, but what can she do? She wasn't exactly the best when it comes to comforting someone.
"It will be okay mother," Ruby started to say, as she put her hand over Meredy's getting her to look at her future daughter, "It's hard to loose someone we care about, but we can't let them to die in vain. I'm sure Uncle Jellal wouldn't want you to be sad. The only thing we can do is to move forward to tomorrow. We'll make sure the Legion pays for what they've done. For Uncle Jellal, for everyone." The pink haired woman told Meredy with a soft smile. She hoped that cheered her up somewhat. Like she knew, she wasn't good at the whole comforting thing.
Meredy, even thought she was still feeling awful, couldn't help but smile at her future daughter's attempted to help her. She pulled Ruby into a hug, getting the future daughter of Natsu and Meredy off guard by the sudden.
"Thank you Ruby." Meredy whispered to her, with a smile still present on her face. Seeing her mother feeling better, even only a little got Ruby to smile herself as he returned the gesture.
At another table in the room sat Brandish, a frown still on her face. It was clear that Aquarius's demise still affected her. Rebecca wanted to comfort her mother, but she was just awful at giving words of comfort, especially when it comes to a member of her family. So the future daughter of Natsu and Brandish decided to give her mother some space. The light green haired woman was now helping Rose handing out drinks and dishes for everyone in the building.
Lucy saw the green haired Spriggan sitting alone. While the blonde was still trying to get over the Water Spirit's death, she knew she had to help the others who may be feeling down. So the Celestial Wizard of Fairy Tail figured she would go try to help Brandish.
The green haired woman was lost in her thoughts to noticed Lucy approaching her. Only when Lucy pulled a chair out for her to sit in did Brandish saw the blonde sitting down near her.
"Hey Brandish." Lucy started to speak in a soft tone, as the green haired woman only looked at the blonde.
"What do you want?" She responded back a rather bit rude. However Lucy wasn't bothered, since everyone wasn't exactly the happiest at the moment.
"I just came to see how you're feeling." Lucy told her, hoping to help cheer her up as well as herself. Brandish though got a bit angry.
"I just lost Aquarius to those demons! How do you think I'm feeling?!" The green haired woman exclaimed in anger at the blonde, getting her to flinch from her tone. Brandish saw how she reacted before she simply frowned again, "Sorry." She told Lucy.
"It's alright," Lucy assured Brandish, though that did nothing to lift her frown or her mood. Since she was here, Lucy figured she asked the green haired woman something, "Brandish, how do you know Aquarius exactly? It sounds like you've known her before." Lucy asked, since she didn't know why Brandish was acting this way about Aquarius's death.
"Because I did." Brandish answered the blonde, getting Lucy to be surprised.
Seeing her surprised, the green haired woman then figured she would tell the blonde about her relationship with the Spirit.
Okay, there you all go. So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Want me to kill myself? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
