The Power of Greed

"Fairy Tail let go of your rage," Layla said.

"What?!" Natsu questioned. The others looked at Layla just as insulted.

"Fairy Tail let go of your rage?" Rebecca repeated. She threw her head back, laughing as she covered her mouth. She brought her head back forward after a moment, lowering her head. A sinster look filled her face. "Don't make me laugh. Fairy Tail is an embodiment of rage and emotions. You expect them to just let go?"

"She's right, we can't allow her to just get away with all her crap," Natsu yelled.

"Rebecca, I know you're abilities. Warth only gains power from the anger of your enemies," Layla explained. "If we fight without anger Warth will lose his powers." All the members of Fairy Tail opened their eyes with awe. "I know its hard, but its the only way to beat her."

"I see," Erza spoke. She shut her eyes tight as she worked to calm her emotions.

Laxus shut his eyes, slowly returning to his normal cool demeanor. The rest of Fairy Tail followed their lead, working to control their emotions. The blazing flames of Warth began to dim.

Rebecca opened her eyes wide in shock. "This can't be, Wrath!" The dark wizard bit down on her teeth in furstation. Her normal beautiful features became ugly with rage. A groan sweeped out of her throat. "You can't do this! Have you forgotten what our guild has done to you? Destoryed your hall, harmed your friends, Laxus we even came close to killing your wife and kids. Doesn't any of that matter to you!?"

The woman's words instantly got to each of the past Fairy Tail members. They flashed back to the many battles they had with Crime Spree. How their guild was blown up, their friends beaten and brought to their knees by future magical spells. Laxus remembered how they went after Lucy and almost killed Bolt and Layla.

They bit down on their teeth at the thoughts. Anger quickly sweeped out of them as they relived the sights of their friends badly injuried and the fear the dark guild caused. How they didn't only hurt their friends in Fairy Tail, but also their friends in the other guilds of Fiore.

Wrath's flames raged and his grip grew tighter on the faires he held. All four of them screamed out in agony.

Layla lowered her hand down. She made her hand flat like a board. Blue and black glowing flames errupted off of her fingertips that spread up around her arm like a blade. "Let them go." Her eyes harden and focused. She pulled her arm back as she pointed her hand at the monster.

"Is that anger I sense?" Rebecca said.

"No, its determination." Layla shot her body forward like a bullet. Her hand thrust forward with the flames spiralling around her body in a fiery drill. Wrath opened his jaws and fired its flames at Layla that were cut away by Suzuka's flames. The blue and black flames stabbed into the monster's chest and came out of the other end.

Wrath slid back a few feet. His hands were forced off of the four wizards, having Laxus and Erza slam to the ground. The monster's head flew back.

The blue and black flames vainished from around Layla. The king summoning wizard pulled her hand out of the monster. She twisted around into a flip that went over Wrath to come down toward his master. Layla grabbed her right wrist and fired off a burning blast toward the other summoner.

"Wrath!" Rebecca shouted. The demon Wrath shot one of his hands back, blocking the blow with his hand.

Layla landed on the ground and flipped back, slamming her feet into the arm that sent it flying upward. The blonde dropped into a crouch. "Fight your rage, Fairy Tail. She can only win as long as she uses your rage against you."

The others started to get up. Laxus' eyes were closed as he clenched his teeth. He got up on his knees and forearms. He opened his eyes and shifted them over to the monster made of fire. If he didn't cool his anger he would be killing his own daughter. He needed to calm himself.

Erza picked herself up on all fours and looked at the monster. She could see her own anger inside of the beast. How it fed off her and how Layla fought against it with great determination. Layla fought the anger of her whole guild in order to protect them from it.

"So this is the destructive nature of our anger," Erza said to herself. "Its so different looking at it from the outside." Erza's body trembled as she watched Wrath summon a sword in each of his hands. He swung them around at Layla who avoided them through jumps and flips.

A sword crashed down to the ground that shattered it. Layla flew back with a scream.

Laxus stretched his head out. "LAYLA!"

Layla opened her eyes. She caught herself in mid-air, flipping back. Flames shot out of her heels that prepelled her forward. She swung her leg out, kicking Wrath across the face. Wrath's arm slammed her down to the ground, but she easily got up. The king summoner refused to fall so easily.

Erza looked aound at her fellow Fairy Tail members. "Everyone, we must fight our anger. Do as Layla told us!" Once again the members of Fairy Tail worked to calm themselves for the very sake of their friend.

The flaming swords of wrath sliced through the air toward Layla. Layla leaped up and kneed the monster in its chest. She flipped on top of him, placing her hands on his shoulders as she spun around. "Phoenix Driver!" Her knee went ablaze as she slammed it down directly on the monster's neck.

The monster crashed into the ground, fading into dust that floated away. Layla landed down on one knee. She glaced back at the other summoner who was utterly shock at the sight.

Rebecca's eyes trembled. "Impossible...how could Fairy Tail hold back all of their anger like that? It's not..." Rebecca bit down on her teeth for a moment. A dark smile appeared on her lips with her eyes growing curel. "I'll just summon something you can't repress."

The S-Class wizard stretched out her hands. "Open the gate that captures all things, Greed!" A black magic circle appeared in front of her. A cruel red light burst forward to reveal a large hungry hound with chains growing out of various parts of his body.

Layla stood up to face it. "That's Greed?"

"Exactly and unlike Wrath he doesn't need you to be currently greedy to feed off your greedy nature," Rebecca explained.

"Fairy Tail isn't greedy," Layla spoke.

Rebecca narrowed her eyes. "Everyone is greedy. I want to be the strongest, I want to be stronger than him or her, I want money to buy this or that..."

Layla opened her eyes in shock.

"That's right, you've all had self interest and now you'll pay for it. Get her, Greed!" Rebecca pointed at the other summoner.

A chain shoot out of Greed's body, wrapping around Layla, pulling her up into the air. The cold iron squeezed her body, forcing the young girl to scream.

"LAYLA!" Laxus shouted. A chain broke out of the ground, slicing through the side of the lightning wizard's leg. Laxus shut one eye and clenched his teeth. The chain spun around which captured the man in an instant.

Rebecca raised her hand into the air. "Don't be shy. Capture as many faires as you like." She broke out into a laugh.

Greed lifted his head and howled. Chains shot out from every part of his body, striking the members of Fairy Tail before capturing them. One chain came out of the ground and wrapped around Gajeel's wrist.

"I don't think so." Gajeel bit on the chain only to spit it out immedately. "Urgh, this taste disgusting." Another chain wrapped around his other wrist from the opposite side. Finally a third chain captured his waist.

"Regulus Impact!" A lion's head flew striaght into Greed's face that made it stumble back. The smoke cleared to reveal a small mark on the demon's face. The dog bared his fangs to look at his opponent.

Layla looked back to see who it was. "Loke?"

Laxus looked back as well. "What are you doing out here? You should be inside!"

Behind Loke stood Lucy with the lion's key.

"Foolish as the rest I see." Rebecca's eyes were hidden by the shadows of her hair as her head was titled down. "That's good. Now I can keep my promise to Laxus." A dark aura surrounded the wizard.

A large tombstone rose up behind Lucy as she turned back to see it block the way back into the guild. Her eyes opened wide when she read the writing. "Rest in pieces, Lucy, Layla and Bolt Dreyer. You won't be miss."

Loke looked at the tombstone as well in just as much terror.

"I did promise you, Laxus..." A dark smile spread across Rebecca's face. "I would cave in Layla's skull, rip out your babies from Lucy and slaughter her too! So prepare yourself for the show!"

Bolt's legs dragged him forward through the remainder of the mountains. His glazed over eyes barely made out the city in front of him. "Crocus." He stabbed his star sword into the ground. The dragon armor that he wore had basically been torn apart with blood running like streams from the dozen cuts all over his body.

The young Dreyer collapsed to his knees. His breathing was unsteady with his hands barely holding onto the hilt of his sword. The blade dimmed and vainished that removed the young wizard's last line of support. He dropped to the ground, unconcious while his sword hilt spun away from him.
