Hello again everyone, it is I once more. Coming at you with another chapter for you all to either like or despise with all of your hatred and fury.
So yeah.
Hey, remember way back in chapter six, where Daron and Natsu had their talk? You know where Daron told Natsu how he died saving him and was brought back to be their warrior of undeath, but managed to break free from their control immediately afterwards?
Yeah… miiiiiiiight have twisted the truth a bit there.
You'll see what I mean.
By the way, someone pointed out to me that this story should be rated M due to all of the death and blood that's in this story. Should I make this M rated to be safe, or is it fine to just leave it at T? Let me know in the reviews.
Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions. Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Fifty Eight: The Lie he Believed
In another area of the ruined town, Natsu battled the Eredar named Osmoas, the demon who was leading the attack on this town. The pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer continued to launch flame covered fists at the demon before him. Unfortunately, the Eredar continued to either block or dodge any punch that was thrown toward him.
"Come on E.N.D! Surely you can do better than that!" Osmoas mocked the Fairy Tail Mage with a grin, which only got on Natsu's nerves.
"Shut up! And my name is Natsu!" Natsu replied back with a look of anger as he proceeded to swing a fist toward the Eredar's face.
Osmoas though, managed to move his head out of the way before slamming his own Fel-empowered fist right into the pink haired male's stomach, getting Natsu to cough up some blood from the impact. The Ererdar followed up with a swift kick as well right into the pink haired demon's head, getting him to crash into the ground a few yards away from the Eredar.
Natsu managed to get back up on his feet again quickly after that. He glared at the Eredar as he wiped the blood that came out of his mouth due to the demon's attack. Osmoas merely laugh at the pink haired male's stubbornness.
"What are you waiting for E.N.D? Transform into your real form, not this pathetic shell of a mortal body!" Osmoas taunted him, wanting at least a challenge before he killed his enemy before him.
"I don't need that form to take care of a stupid demon like you!" Natsu shouted back at Osmoas, who only laughed in response, getting on the Fire Dragon Slayer's nerves, "I'm going to make you pay for everything that you demons have done to my home!"
"HAH! You're "home"? Don't make me laugh boy! You know well enough that you are hated by even your own guild! Surely you haven't forgotten what they thought about you back in Crocus?" Osmoas spoke to him. This merely got Natsu to widen his eyes from that, before he went back to glaring. He wasn't going to give in to what this demon was doing. This is exactly what that Dreadlord who took Alzack's and Bisca's lives tried to do.
"I'm not going to be swayed that easily!" Natsu yelled back as he charged once more at the Eredar with his fists covered in flames once more. The demon however merely continued to dodge every attack Natsu launched at him.
"Why do you try so hard E.N.D?" Osmoas continued to speak while grabbing onto both of Natsu's arms with his hands, surprising the pink haired male by the action, "Why do you fight for a world that has no want for a demon like yourself?" The Eredar went on as he pulled Natsu forward only for the Legion demon to slam his knee right into Natsu's head, getting Natsu to shout from the act.
Osmoas then grabbed Natsu by the head before chucking him right into a nearby building, getting it to collapse onto the Fire Dragon Slayer. However, a few moments later, the pink haired demon managed to get out from the rubble as he got ready to charge into battle once again.
"I will never understand why you would want to defend this pitiful rock even after you've been rejected by it again and again. You allow yourself to be in pain and defend the very mortals that have wounded you so. I wonder if those women and those brats of yours from the other timeline have anything to do with it." Osmoas pondered with a grin at very end, getting Natsu more furious by his words.
"You won't do anything to them as long as I live!" Natsu shouted as he fired off a Fire Dragon Roar toward the Eredar, who merely managed to deflect the attack into another building with his sword, getting Natsu to widen his eyes from how his attack was easily deflected like that.
"What can you hope to do? We will succeed in the end, no matter what you do. Maybe once we wiped out those brats of yours, maybe we will have use of their souls to power our arsenal. Or maybe we will do what we did to the undead child, and make them eternal slaves of undeath under our complete control?" Osmoas wondered, all while ignoring the heated glare he was receiving from the pink haired male before him.
However, despite his glare, Natsu couldn't help but chuckle a little by the demon's words, getting Osmoas to raise an eyebrow from that.
"Yeah right. You tried to do that to Daron, and looked how that turned out," Natsu spoke to Osmoas, as Natsu got ready to fight once more, "You tried to make him some sort of revived slave, but he was too strong to obey the likes of you!" He finished saying that with a large grin plastered on his face.
Osmoas looked at Natsu for a silent moment… before the demon burst out laughing.
This merely got Natsu to be confused, as well as angered the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer. How did this stupid Eredar find that funny? The demon was laughing as if he just heard the most hilarious joke in the multiverse.
"What's so funny?!" Natsu yelled at the demon, getting Osmoas to cease his laughter as he large smirk appeared on the demon's face.
"That boy didn't tell you… he didn't tell you the whole truth, did he?" Osmoas asked the Fairy Tail Mage before him, getting Natsu even more confused.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" The pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer questioned all while remaining cautious in case this was a trap or a lie.
Osmoas chuckled as a rather evil grin, or at least an even more evil grin, appeared on his face as he begun to speak.
"He lied to you. You think someone like him could break out of our control like that? Daron would have never regained his free will if it weren't for you and the rest of your family. Before that though… well… we made sure to put him to good use." Omoas informed the pink haired male in front of him.
A rather sinking feeling suddenly appeared in Natsu's stomach as the words processed in his mind.
"What do you mean?" Natsu asked, one part of him wanted to believe what the Eredar was saying was just a lie, yet for some reason another part of him wanted to know what the demon was going to say, and for some reason that part of him was falling for it.
"It was a few years after our second invasion of this pitiful planet. Luckily some of us still remained on this rock in order to find a way to bring a full force to wipe this world clean once more. After a failed attempt to kill you, with that brat taking the death blow himself, we took his corpse and revived him into one our own knights of darkness, also known as a Death Knight as I'm sure he told you. From what I've understand from what you think is true, after that he managed to take off and rejoin his family shortly afterwards," Osmoas couldn't help but laugh from that before he went on, "In truth though, he remained our servant for quiet a while. You be surprised how many lives he managed to take away from the inhabitants of this world. From men, woman, and children alike, he followed our orders with complete obedience. His will was no longer his, and was under our control. Like I stated earlier, if it weren't for you and the rest of your family breaking our will over his, he would have never regain his own being." Osmoas finished explaining with an evil grin.
Silence plagued the area after the demon's words were spoken. Natsu himself was shocked by what he heard. That couldn't be right… Daron couldn't have been under their control for that long. He couldn't have done all of that! This demon had to be lying!
Osmoas merely laughed as he saw the shock in Natsu's eyes. The demon couldn't help but find Natsu being this surprised so hilarious.
The Eredar's laughter got Natsu to snap out of his thoughts. Quickly though, the surprise from this new knowledge gave way to anger. If what this demon said was true, then Daron was forced to do all of those horrible things. Natsu gritted his teeth as the realization that Daron was forced to endure something like that for who knows how long brought his anger levels through the roof.
Osmoas continued to laugh, finding it all hilarious… before a sudden flash of Fel Fire got his attention.
Bringing his full attention back to Natsu, he saw the Fel Fire that once engulfed the pink haired male fade away only to reveal the Fire Dragon Slayer in his E.N.D form. The Eredar could see the look of pure fury on the other demon's face.
"Alright…," Natsu started to say as he got ready to charge right at the demon, "Now you've made me angry!"
Osmoas simply grinned as both he and Natsu charged toward each other once more to continue their battle once more.
'BACK WITH THE OTHERS'
Gorarg roared out once more as the giant demon swung his sword down upon the nearest target, which happened to be Meredy. Luckily, the pink haired woman managed to jump out of the way. Before the giant demon could make another action, both Ruby and Angelica, who was still in her Havoc Demon Form, fired off their own Fire Dragon Roar at the Mo'arg Brute, who took the hit directly as it stumbled backwards slightly. Taking this chance, Millianna used her Nekosoku Tube to wrap around the demon's legs, thus making the giant demon fall onto its back.
Both Tiron and Daron dashed forward as they attempted to cleave their swords into the demon in hopes to finish the Mo'arg Brute off. However the giant demon managed to get back up before it swung its sword at the two, getting them to jump away from the Mo'arg Brute. Erza, in her Black Wing Armor, launched herself at the demon in attempt to get a strike in on the giant creature. She managed to get a good slash on the demon's side, getting it to roar in anger from the attack. Following up, Mira, who was in her Take Over: Satan Soul flew up into the air and fired off a Demon Blast right above the giant, who took the attack right into the head, causing smoke to form from the attack. Both Cana and Kamika fired off their respective Card Volley and Paper Blizzard: Red Dance Scatter attacks at Gorarg, who roared in fury at being hit once again. Both Kagura and Nagura then charged at the giant demon as they slashed past the demon, getting their blades to slash on the demon's skin's getting it to bleed from the wounds.
However, despite all of this, the demon continued to get back up and kept on fighting.
"This is getting nowhere!" Marcel shouted in annoyance, as he saw the giant demonic thing engaging against Brandish and Sans.
"You're right! We need to not waste anymore time!" Angelica, still angered by Osmoas words from earlier, shouted in agreement.
And with that, the short silver haired woman grabbed one of her golden keys before summoning Asmer, who shouted in excitement after being called out once more!
"You called Angelica!? Anyone that needs to be shown my aweso- ?!" The spirit of the Astral Hammer started to shout before seeing the giant demon in front of them all, as well as the destroyed area around them, "Oh. Have no fear! It shall feel the wrath of the Astral Hammer!"
And with that, the Celestial Spirit charged into battle to aid in the fight against Gorarg. Angelica, knowing that they need more help to end this battle, began to enveloped her hands with both Fel and Shadow magic, as she called forth a rather large Infernal.
"Let's go!" She called out as she and her summoned demon went back into the fray once more.
"Yeah! I'm tired of holding back!" Marcel yelled out as he enveloped himself in his Lighting-Fire Dragon Mode, letting off some shock waves before he himself charged into the battle to end this.
Tom looked to see both Angelica and Marcel not even attempting to hold back anymore, not caring about any more collateral damaged they may cause since any innocent people were out of the way.
"I guess I should go all out as well!" Tom spoke to himself with a grin.
And with that, the future son of Natsu and Millianna entered into his own Havoc Demon Form, and charged right at the giant demon as well.
Yuge was about to dive right into the battle once more, before he noticed a large explosion being heard from the distance. Turning his attention, he sensed the clashing of two Demonic energies coming from the same direction. It didn't take long for the future son of Natsu and Juvia to realize that it was his dad facing off against the Eredar.
"Man… I can feel them clashing from here." Yuge muttered to himself, however Juvia, who was just pushed back by the giant demon, overheard what her future kid said to himself.
"What do you mean?" Juvia questioned him, getting him to notice the blue haired woman's presence.
Before he could answer the Rain Woman, another large explosion of Fel Energy was heard and felt by the two Water Mages. This also got Juvia to be a bit concern.
"Was that Natsu?" Juvia asked Yuge, who nodded to her question. The Rain Woman of Fairy Tail couldn't help but feel worried. That was a lot of energy being thrown around like that. Yuge couldn't help but see his mother worried.
"Go aid him." Yuge's voice broke Juvia from her trance, getting her to be surprised by his suggestion.
"But-!" She tried to respond, but was interrupted as her future son spoke once more.
"We'll be more than enough for this demon right here! Go help dad!" He told her as he powered up more of his Water Magic.
And with that, Yuge dashed back into the battle with the Mo'arg Brute. Juvia, at first hesitating to listen, gave in as she then started to run toward where Natsu was battling Osmoas at.
There we go! How was that? Good? Bad? Let me know.
