Chapter 15: Luck of the Devil
The Clover Kingdom was recovering, slowly but recovering. A misguided Elf had nearly killed everyone, possessed the wizards of the Kingdom with the spirits of fallen elves, lead and attack, got corrupted, turned into a demon, released a demon, and well it had been a couple of complicated days.
The Black Bulls were doing their best to repair their base.
To complicate matters their base had been used by their member Henry as a giant mech and had been teleported across the country to do battle and also got turn apart.
It took a lot of effort to gather as much of it as they could and put it back together.
Henry once inside, and once he recovered a bit of own power helped, but there was only so much that he could do.
The rest of the Black Bulls kept a safe distance from Henry as being too close to him drain his energy. Well, Except Asta who had no magic of his own helped him inside. Charmy whose own magic could help replenish people's magic if they ate some of her food helped and made lots of food.
Honestly, they assumed she was making the food so she could chow down while they worked.
Yami, the leader of this group, took a long drag of his cigarette as he watched the others work. He shook his head; work was being generous. Luck was trying to get Manga to fight him. Vanessa was more interested in drinking, Noelle was not doing much saying as a royal; this was not for her, Finral was still recovering from his injuries so not much there.
Grey, Gauche, Gordon, Asta, Henry, and Zora were trying to work.
Nero, who had up until recently being a small bird but now was a petite woman, stood next to Yami.
"I have to say," Nero started.
"Yeah, go ahead and say it." Yami had heard her tone before,
"I've been watching this group for a long time and-"
"They're knuckleheads who'd likely get themselves killed as they would save someone."
"Well, yes, I was going to say unorthodox, but yes, but they are capable and have done much despite no one believing in them. You must be proud of them."
Yami smiled, "I never said I wasn't proud of them. I wouldn't have brought them in if I didn't think they were worth the trouble."
A small red velvet cat sat next to Vanessa, that was Rogue a spell of hers that turned into a cat that could alter fate. It was a playful creature that would change fate to keep this odd group safe.
The little cat screeched as it scurried around in terror.
Vanessa put down her drink and said, "Hey, what's got you worked up?"
There aren't many unifying factors in this world; status and power issues are worse when magic is involved. Those with a lot of magic rule over those with little and often make a point of it.
Today magic allowed to feel the same thing at once.
Terror.
Every person on the world sensed something, something that made the very mana of this world shudder. Even someone like who lacked the faintest bit of magic felt the Ki shift and if dimming.
"What's happening?" Nero was the first to speak as ash started to consume her body.
"What the hell?" Gauche screamed as his body began to turn.
"Hey! Hey!" Grey yelled for once, "It's happening to Gordon too!"
"What's this?" Zora called out, "Is this an attack?"
Manga grabbed the dissolving Luck, "Come on Luck, don't let something as cheap as this get you!"
Luck let out a strange whimper, "I- I- I can't feel anything. My body! It's just going!"
The doors burst open as Asta rushed out with his sword in hand, "Something happened to Henry! He just started to turn to dust. I tried to use my sword; it didn't stop it!"
"A-Asta…" Noelle let out as parts of Asta began to dissolve.
Magna felt as Luck literally slipped through his fingers.
Gauche looked around feeling his body fade away, he thought of his sister and hoped she would be fine, "Marie" he wished he could see her once more but if he had to leave maybe being around these guys wasn't so bad. He was sure they'd at least look after Marie for him. As he dissolved, he was at peace.
Gordon vanished without making much noise, his final words being. "I'm glad I had all of you as my friends."
No one heard his words.
Nero fell to the ground trembling; she grabbed onto Yami, "This- whatever this is- its' not magic."
Yami turned to Asta; he had drawn his magic negating sword and was smacking himself with it to negate it. "Work, dammit!"
"Asta calm down!" Noelle grabbed Asta, "We will figure this out just hold on!"
"Noelle! Guys, I feel everything just going away." Asta mumbled as his journey came to an end right there.
Yami was silent as there was nothing he could do. Nero's message came through clearly, whatever this was wasn't magic if Asta's sword couldn't do anything against it.
That only left the question of what it was and how they were going to stop it?

The Kingdom was going insane; people were running in the streets in a panic as people just randomly turned into a pile of ash.
Yuno watched stunned as the fairy-like wind spirit clung to him. The spirit, for once didn't adhere to him because of her affections but just out of fear. Klaus was dissolving while Mimosa was desperate to try and save everyone around her with her healing spells. They weren't doing much, but she was trying.
Yuno looked on trying to find a trace of where this was coming from, only to find nothing.

Mereoleona Vermillion grit her teeth anger boiling inside of her. Her squad had been decimated and to her grief both her brothers had just been taken. Fuegoleon had barely woken up from his coma, and something turned him into ash.
She felt a shiver go down her spine the flame spirit Salamander appeared on her shoulder, choosing her for its next partner.
"We are going to find who did this and make them pay."

The Witch Queen was on the floor in pain, she received a terrible vision, and as she forced herself awake, he found ash swirling around her. She couldn't help but hear the screams of her witches coming from outside her castle.

The Wizard King Julius looked out the window, he didn't see it coming until the very last second.
He barely escaped death, and now it looks like the nature of the world was coming to reclaim him. His body slowly turned to dust as he watched the Kingdom he swore to protect break out into chaos.
Author's Notes: Sup.
I'm sleepy.
Well, I'm going to try and do a bunch of a short of these fics. There are a bunch of worlds I want to, so I'm going to try and shot them off and get through this writer's block. I might do a bunch in one chapter, but for now heres the chapter. Anyway leave a review telling me what you guys think or how many of these worlds do you recognize.
