Last time on a fairy tail re-told
Wendy: it's been a while since we teamed up
Gajeel: yeah, not too often we get to do that
Natsu: yeah, I think the last time we all had a group fight was in edolas
Meredy: you never explained that
Natsu: long story
Wendy: later
Mard Geer snapped his fingers as large thorns appeared as everyone jumped away Gajeel turned his body to iron as everyone jumped back "get ready, everyone, time to end this," Wendy shouted, "enhancing all elemental resistances {Deus Corona}, enhancing all physical abilities {Deus Eques}" Wendy screamed as her magic power started to increase "swift wind, stalwart might, and steel resolve of the heavens combine" Wendy called"{lle enchantment}" Wendy shouted.
"Thanks for the boost, kid," Natsu shouted, "{fire dragons: sword horn}," Natsu shouted as Mard Geer blocked the attack blowing him away.
"oh crap," Sting shouted as they arrived, having heard the explosions "Natsu, Gajeel," Sting called.
"Are you guys okay" Rogue shouted
"get back," Gajeel screamed at the pair as a flower appeared on his chest, blowing him and Wendy away.
"Take this," Meredy screamed "{snow dragons: wing strike}" she screamed
"not going to cut it," Mard Geer shouted
"{roar}" she screamed as she flew up
"Sting Rogue" Natsu shouted. "I need a unison raid."
"did Natsu just ask us for help" Sting smiled.
"That means they're in over their head," Rogue said "come on," he said
"right," Sting said as he and Rogue got ready to do their unison raid
"{Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang}"
"light and dark," Mard Geer smiled "what [perfect harmony" he smiled "well, it won't last {vanish}" he smiled as Natsu, and Wendy appeared
"you ready, kid," Natsu asked "{lighting flame dragon mode}
"hell yeah," Wendy shouted, "{white sky dragon mode}" Wendy shouted
"now may, the elements combine," Natsu and Wendy shouted, "dragon slayer secret art."
"what" Mard Geer shouted.
"{shattering flame lotus: holy lighting drill}." the attack was strong enough to send Mard Geer to the ground as he jumped away, a look of anger on his face.
"die" he screamed as he blasted both away as Natsu and Wendy landed on the ground, as Meredy landed next to them. Mard Geer landed on the ground "maybe I should skip to the horrors," Mard Geer smiled as he wiped away some blood from his mouth, "that my Etherious form will bring"
"you guys look ruff," Sting said
"let us help you," Rogue said
"Stay back," Natsu said, "then again."
"We could use the extra fist," Wendy muttered, "that spell takes it out of me."
"what the matter, dragons," Mard Geer asked
"Are you afraid of the netherworld"
Tartaros arc Part VI: Dragons and demons
"Is anyone out there" a voice called, "please, someone responds."
"Mavis is that you," Lucy said
"Lucy, good to hear your voice," Mavis said, "give me a status report."
"we've taken down most of the demon gates," Lucy said "we even found the demon with the bane particles," Lucy explained. "Cosmos and Levy are bringing it to Porlyusica."
"Alright, good," Mavis said, "anything else."
"Well," Lucy looked to the sky, where she could see the flashes of Igneel's battle with Acnologia. "Acnologia showed up, and another dragon came to fight him."
"what," Mavis asked, "where's Natsu."
"he's sorting through things with his father," Lucy informed her "the dragon that showed up was Igneel," Lucy said, "and let's just say he was hiding somewhere Natsu would have never guessed to look."
"Thanks for the update, Lucy," Mavis said "let Natsu Gajeel and Wendy deal with the dragons," Mavis said. "I'll try to get to Porlyusica. You all need to clear the battlefield, and I might have a way to stop Tartaros's plan to use FACE.
"that's great," Lucy said "what is it"
"I'm doing what Hades told me," Mavis said as she looked back at her body trapped in a crystal. "I'm going to unleash the light." she sighed "that should give as a slight chance at destroying FACE, and I can use it to help Natsu defeat E.N.D."
"that's awesome," Lucy said "okay" she then turned to the group she was with, all of which were giving her strange looks. "I just spoke with Mavis," Lucy said
"Really," Cana asked, "where is she"
"she's back in Magnolia," Lucy said "she has a secret weapon that we can use to destroy FACE" Lucy shook her head "we need to clear the battlefield," Lucy said, "leave dealing with Acnologia to Natsu and the other dragon slayers."
"what about Erza," Cana asked.
"I don't know where she is," Lucy said, "but I do know she can take care of herself" Lucy smiled at her. "I'm sure Mavis will give her. the same explanation."
"she's right," Laki said "come on," she said as they started to leave, "we should get moving, no telling how long walk it will be to get back to Magnolia."
"And what's left of the pub," Macao muttered.
"Well, let's get moving," Lucy said, taking charge "look, I know things seem grim, but we have to keep going."
"Alright," Wakaba said. "I just hope the others are okay."
"Me too," Lucy said, looking back, "me too" she turned back to Dornbolt and the members of the Oracion seis" Lucy smiled "you all should come to," she said, "trust me, you don't want to be on a battlefield when those four get started."
"Are you sure?" Cobra asked
"yes," Lucy said
"you going to tell us what this weapon is though" Angel asked
"Mavis didn't say anything about it," Lucy said, "but she sounded so serious," Lucy whispered. "I can tell that whatever it is, it's something she never wanted to use."
"Look there," Romeo shouted as Igneel and Acnologia flew away "he's leading them away."
"you will not escape me," Acnologia shouted as Igneel came to a stop
"I'm not fleeing," Igneel said "at this height, I don't have to hold back," Igneel told him, "now prepare to face judgment for your crimes."
"brave words, but empty, as they come from the mouth of someone that is about to be dead," Acnologia shouted.
"like hell were afraid of you," Meredy shouted "we're just getting started"
"yeah," Natsu said, "me and Wendy here have been hurt more by a Lucy kick" Natsu laughed.
"don't ever tell her that, though," Wendy muttered, "we won't hear the end of it."
"come on, we got a job to do," Gajeel smiled "bout time we got a real challenge with all this fighting."
"there so awesome," Sting whispered
"kiss up," Rogue sighed
'Kyoka, what's taking so long" Mard Geer asked, "detonate the FACES at once."
"let's go," Erza said as Kyoka dodged to the side. Kagura went up to her blocking the attack. She smiled and used her foot to kick her away as Erza appeared, the strikes causing shockwaves to fly through the area.
"I am now out of your league, human," Kyoka shouted "submit" she screamed.
"she's getting stronger," Erza asked. as she and Kagura slid back.
"yes," Kyoka smiled, "and I will grow stronger by the second," she laughed "this is the nature of my curse," she laughed as she slashed the ground "my power grows like a waxing moon," Kyoka laughed. as she attacked the pair again, "come at me with all your might," Kyoka said "nothing you do will help you win this fight," Kyoka shouted, "the only thing you can pray for is that your death will be quick" she laughed as she attacked both again the sounds of the blades clashing going through her ears "who am I kidding it will be slow and excruciating" she laughed.
"if that's the case," Minerva whispered, "she's been toying with us this entire time," Minerva whispered, "curses truly are superior to magic."
"FACE is going off," Kyoka said "there's nothing you can do," she laughed. "my life is forfeit either way," she laughed, "but this is the price I will pay," she said as she blocked both Erza and Kagura's attack "all so we may return to Zeref" she shouted as she pushed them away.
"she's strong," Kagura muttered as she jumped back.
"We need to beat her," Erza said "that's the only way to stop FACE," Erza said as she jumped away, changing into her heavens wheel armor "so what are you going to give your life," Erza said
"you would never understand," Kyoka shouted "our master made us with one purpose to be by his side when he brings in a new age of darkness" Kyoka laughed.
"How will you know if your dead" Erza shouted
"shut up," Kyoka shouted as she attacked as Erza and Kagura blocked her attack.
"your nothing but a coward," Kagura shouted "there's nothing you can gain by bringing your own death," she screamed as she pushed her away.
"what would you humans know" Kyoka shouted "your nothing but ants," she screamed "you should feel honored I am speaking to you," she screamed as she grabbed both with an attack
"What is she doing," Erza asked as she flung back. The attack was so powerful that it hit everyone in the control room. As she stopped, everyone was still screaming in pain.
Mard Geer chuckled as he stood up "well, it would seem that Kyoka has forgotten my voice," he said "it seems she is too preoccupied with trying to kill your comrade," he said, "oh well, I think she's earned this last bit of fun."
"tell me," Sting shouted, "why do you want to erase all magic."
"you don't know," Mard Geer asked, "that tome your friends here want to steal holds master E.N.D, " Mard Geer explained, "over four hundred years ago, the four dragons of Ishgar sealed him away because they feared his power" Mard Geer laughed.
"and you want to bust him out," Natsu growled.
"breaking a dragon seal isn't easy," Meredy said, "it took Ultear about thirteen years before she could confidently say she could break the seal on me."
"Despite what it looks like, I am not our leader," Mard Geer said "that title belongs to master E.N.D; he is the strongest of us; no one can match his power," he laughed "be them dragon demon or god." Mard Geer smiled "once we revive him; we will return to Zeref
"wait, why wait," Rogue asked, "if you want to see Zeref so bad, why not."
"come on, aren't you dragon slayers as well," Mard Geer said. "I guess I'll skip to the point. Have you ever wondered why we must return to Zeref? Each demon is hard-wired with this fact," Mard Geer explained "we must see Zeref; we must find him" Mard Geer smiled. "I alone have realized the reason for this instinct," he laughed "we are to give the one thing he has been deprived," Mard Geer said
"Death"
"what," Wendy asked
"that's messed up," Gajeel shouted
"you see, Zeref has grown to despise his immortality over the years." Mard Geer said, "but death would not come on its own, so he would make demons," Mard Geer said, "it would take him many years and many creations, but he would eventually create his masterpiece" Mard Geer smiled "master E.N.D" Mard stood up a dark grin growing on his face as he approached the dragon slayers, "but he was trapped inside his book before he could fulfill his purpose." Mard smiled as he glared at the group, "but a magic seal can't exist in a world without magic, so that's why when I learned about the FACES," Mard Geer smiled. "I knew what I had to do. Soon me and master E.N.D will slay Zeref side by side," he laughed.
"All of this just so you could kill Zeref," Gajeel asked
"couldn't you have left us out of it," Wendy asked
"When one is on their way to their destination, he doesn't avoid the weeds in his path," Mard Geer smiled "he tramples them," he shouted as vines appeared, slapping Sting and Rogue away "those flies are not necessary," Mard Geer said, "you four are the real prize."
"damn it," Meredy shouted "get down" she screamed. They were all attacked by vines.
"What is that" Wendy shouted as a large, monstrous flower with spikes and chains around its bulb, vines wrapping around the four of them as the plant started to growl closer to them "man, that is gross."
"This is a prison flower," Mard Geer said, "picked fresh from the underworld just for the four of you," Mard Geer said, "your mere existence is a threat to my master" he smiled, "one that I shall erase" he shouted.
"oh crap, come on, Rogue," Sting shouted as vines held them in place
"It won't budge," Rogue cried "you guys gotta move," he called again. "Natsu, use your fire."
"I'm stuck" Natsu shouted as the flower went down on them as. Natsu closed his eye; however, before the plant could reach them, a large wave of ice froze the plant solid as it started to fall apart.
"nice, Meredy," Wendy said
"That wasn't me," Meredy said
"then who" Natsu then felt something wrap around his neck as a finger poked his cheek. As he turned to see Kinana smiling at him
"look what I found" Kinana smiled.
"my scarf," Natsu said, with all the fighting going on, he had almost forgotten about it, "thought I lost this for good"
"then you should take better care of it," another voice said as they turned to see Gray walking from behind "if it means so much to you, try not to lose it."
"will do," Natsu said "thanks."
"was that Gray who froze the plant" Sting asked
"what power," Rogue muttered
"that's new," Meredy said, "did I miss something." as Mard Geer backed up, his arm frozen, "when did he do that" Meredy shouted.
[## Power of bonds ost##]
"This is going to be the last face you're ever going to see," Gray said, "Cause you're the thing I slay" he smiled.
"your both demons slayers," Mard Geer growled
"a what" Sting asked
"they slay demons," Wendy told him "come on, man, it's not that hard." she then turned to the pair, "and if I'm being honest, this is just the backup we needed."
"Sorry we're late," Kinana told Natsu "we've been killing nearly every demon we came across."
"I've come here on behalf of the fallen," Gray shouted as he froze Mard Geer.
"This magic," Mard Geer muttered "it's Silver's," he growled as he broke free "I had no doubt that he would betray us," Mard Geer smiled, "but not even I saw this coming," he smiled "what poetry" he laughed as he attacked Gray as Kinana rushed forward.
"{poison devils: wing strike}" she screamed as she cut down every throne. Mard Geer jumped out the way as he fired more thorns which Gray froze them as Kinana ran across them "{poison devils: blade}" she screamed as she hit him to the ground.
"they're having an easier time than we were," Meredy said
"Wendy," Natsu said, "when you get an opening, go for the book," Natsu said hearing this, Wendy nodded
"Leave it to me," she said, winking
"my old man sends his regards," Gray shouted as he got ready to attack "you screwed with the wrong family {ice devils: zero long swords}" he screamed as something broke free from the ice slamming Gray in the head as Kinana jumped back.
"what the hell is that," Kinana said "don't tell me we missed one" the demon then waved their hands, blasting the pair back as they landed on the ground
"Gray, Kinana," Natsu shouted "wait, this smell," Natsu said,
"the man who once stood at the helm of the strongest guild in this kingdom," he smiled, "now has shed his humanity" he smiled, "you knew him as Jiemma."
Jiemma stood tall, power radiating from his body. He now sports large elf-like ears, his hair and beard extremely jutting out, and a massive chest scar. He also dons a decorative tattoo-like design that is heavily concentrated on the left side of his torso and slightly spread throughout the rest of his body.
"It's really him," Gajeel asked.
"yeah," Natsu said, "never forget that smell," Natsu said, "they turned him into a demon."
"just like Minerva," Gray said, "suits him better if you ask me."
"of course, it does," Jiemma said "power always suited me," Jiemma said, "and look at me now, the mightiest demon that has ever existed."
"was it worth it," Rogue asked, "shedding your humanity"
"the man has lost his mind," Sting shouted
"my new servant is more powerful than any of the nine demon gates," Mard Geer explained, "but you already have been met before."
"I am the raging seas," Jiemma shouted. "I stun the heavens; therefore, I have no master because I have no equal," Jiemma shouted. "I'll squash these bugs first," Jiemma shouted "then I'm coming for you," he screamed as Mard Geer smirked.
"you're not getting anyone," Natsu shouted as Jiemma swatted him away
"I have no business with you," Jiemma called as he turned to Sting and Rogue, blasting them away. "Sting," he screamed, "you and I have unfinished business," he yelled
"fine then," Sting muttered as he stood up, "let's finish this."
"I've waited for this moment for so long now," Jiemma growled, "for the chance to end your life," he growled as he set off several explosions as Sting jumped forward, kicking him away.
"I'm not scared of you anymore," Sting shouted. "I've grown stronger than you ever will be," Sting called.
"there's a difference between bravery and arrogance, boy," Jiemma screamed
"Yeah, which one are you" Sting shouted as he attacked him
"Impressive, isn't he," Mard Geer asked, "but I need to do something about his arrogance."
"This is the end of the line," Gray said, "no one's lefts to protect you."
"no, you mistake me," Mard Geer said "the reason I summoned Jiemma was to reduce the clutter," he smiled, "but now I think I should take this fight more seriously," he laughed as power started to come from him.
[##absoulte demon ost##]
"E.N.D is about to rise from a slumber lasting four hundred years," Mard Geer said as he took his Etherious form. His body started to grow muscular, and his skin darkened and gained the irregular pattern of his cloak. He accumulates long, dark horns on his forehead and jagged teeth and retains his ponytail. Mard Geer's fingers are replaced with claws, and his ears become elongated and elf-like. He gains large, bat-like wings that are both light and dark in color. Feathers also sprout from his wrists and collar. "it is time I awaken as well."
"you feel that" Meredy whispered
"I taste that," Kinana whispered back
"get ready," Gray said, "he's getting serious."
"We can take him," Natsu shouted.
"Behold," Mard Geer started, "I am Mard Geer Tartaros, King of the underworld and the absolute demon," he said, "prepare for this battle."
"will be your last"
To be continued
