CH6: Purpose

About two months have passed since Grimoire Heart's assault on Tenrou Island. During that time, Macao had been appointed master of Fairy Tail due to Makarov's extended absence. This of course led to the initiation of Zancrow into the Guild. He wasn't too happy of joining the ones responsible for wiping out his old family, but he figured he might as well stick around to see whether the rest of the wizards had survived Acnologia's dragon roar.

With about half their members missing, Fairy Tail became the target of many other guilds. One tormentor in particular was called Twilight Ogre, home to many barbarians. Both Zancrow and Laki had a run in with them when they first met but they were no match for the God Slayer. Since then however, word got back to Twilight Ogre, and they made it their priority to harass Fairy Tail whenever possible.

It did not take long for Zancrow and Laki's relationship to become plutonic with an occasional fling here and there. However once Zancrow knew more about job offers and their rewards, he would take the ones that offered the most money and take off days at a time leaving no room for mingling. Now that he had experience with these jobs, he could do anything solo. He was a God Slayer after all.

The first time the God Slayer was out doing a long solo mission, the rival guild Twilight Ogre paid a visit to Fairy Tail. They destroyed the inside of their guildhall and although no heinous crimes were committed, the weaker wizards were becoming more discouraged.

After a long trip back home to Magnolia, Zancrow was expecting a feast. He had just completed a one week job where he had to protect royal cargo from looters and thieves. Upon returning home, Zancrow was surprised, and extremely pissed. He was tired, hungry, and in desperate need of a bath, but nothing made the God Slayer angrier than arriving from a hard, exhausting job, only to find the inside of his guildhall turned upside down. Barstools somehow ended up in the sleeping accommodations area, drinks were spilled all over the floor, and his favorite chair was smashed. Zancrow was on fire, he was so angry.

Macao explained how a rival guild came while he was out on the job and roughed them up a bit. The actual attack happened just a few days before Zancrow's arrival. But the damage to their guildhall was so extensive that even after non-stop cleaning, the guild was still less than presentable.

"Who the hell did this?" Zancrow asked as his black flames enveloped him.

"Twilight Ogre," Laki stated plainly as she was sweeping up the broken glass from all their fine wines that were knocked over during the ruckus.

Zancrow's flames diminished, and he calmly walked out starting to work his way up the street towards the rival guildhall.

…

(Knock Knock)

(Knock knock knock)

(KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK)

"Who the hell is it!"

Zancrow was at the foot of the Twilight Ogre guildhall knocking when he heard this distasteful voice from inside. How dare he question him? But Zancrow wanted to enjoy this moment as much as possible. "It's the pizza man!" he responded while trying to refrain his laughter.

"I didn't order no stupid pizza." The voice said from inside. The view slider in the door slid open and the man's eyes on the other side became the size of oranges. He gawked as he saw the God Slayer at his doorstep enveloped completely in black flames. "You! I remember you!"

"Knock knock motherfuckers!" Zancrow retorted.

(BOOM)

The door exploded and flew back towards the inner lobby of the guildhall taking the unlucky Twilight Ogre guildmate with it.

Everyone inside was on alert now. The ones who were eating, sparring, making out, Zancrow had all their attention. He calmly walked in and started to look around the hall. "Nice place you got here," he stated with an evil grin. "It would be a shame if someone burned it to the ground."

Almost immediately, every available member of Twilight Ogre charged at the God Slayer. Wizards with fire, water, wind, and other types of magic started charging up their attacks, but it didn't matter. Zancrow was about to mop the floor with these third rate wizards. He took his signature battle stance and began to power up. "This is what happens when you mess with Fairy Tail. The next time you decide to trash our guild hall, remember this day, when I kicked all of your asses… Flame God … Explosive Flame."

Zancrow let his attack loose within the hall. After an earthshattering (Kaboom), he found himself standing in rubble, as a little more than half the guildhall was left standing. All of the Twilight Ogre guild members were either knocked out cold, blown out of the building, or running around trying to put the fire on their clothing out. They were roughed up and alive. 'That's what I get for holding back.' The God Slayer thought. "HAHAHAHAHA." Zancrow merely enjoyed the view for a couple minutes before heading back to Fairy Tail. He still hadn't had anything to eat and his stomach was not going to wait any longer. "I'll have Kinana make me a steak, no wait, maybe some ribs, aww hell why not both?" The God Slayer decided to protect Fairy Tail as long as it suits him, after all, he still had a score to settle with the Tenrou Island Surivors.
