Chapter 31: Longinus

Natsu hated rocks. As stupid as it sounds, he needed to bring his anger towards something and that was the rocks piled all around him. Sure, they were nice to walk on the floor, but not when they pile around him. Not to mention it was pitch black to see for Natsu, and he could only see the blonde locks of his mate Lucy and his the blue fur of his pal Happy. When Zero had blasted the top of the chamber, the Dragon Slayer reacted more on instinct pulling Happy and Lucy under him while shielding them from the falling rubble of the tower. It wasn't the first time a whole building fell on him, but it was still damn annoying feeling pointy rocks everywhere. Also, he may or may not have forgotten Gray in the whole fiasco of the tower dropping on him. Meh, the ice user's probably fine.

"Natsu..." Happy coughed, his voice meek. "It's so dark. I-I'm scared."

"Don't worry, Happy, I'm still here and I'll keep you both alive." Natsu promised, hugging his pal closer to his body and further away from the rubble that surrounded him.

"Fuck, he just had to drop an entire tower on us." Lucy groaned, trying to pick herself up.

Her strength unfortunately was not enough to free herself from the sheer amount of rubble above her. Unless Lucy wanted to unleash her magic, they were trapped in the rubble. Worse, it was getting hard to breath with the dwindling amount of air. There were already black spots at the corners of the fire-style slayers vision, and Happy eyes drooped as he was slipping closer to unconsciousness.

"Damn." Natsu cursed. "Hey Gray, you dead over there? If you are, just stay silent."

"Yeah, I'm alive you stupid pyro." Barked Gray, whose voice was heard thanks to Natsu's enhanced hearing.

"Can you blast your way out cause we are all kind of stuck here?" Natsu yelled back, his breathing becoming more haggard due to the dwindling amount of air available.

"I think so." Gray answered.

Even through the hills of rubble the mages were buried under, Natsu could feel the temperatures dropping to freezing. The next few seconds later, there was a bright flash coming through the small cracks between the pieces of rubble. Frost followed next before an explosion of cold from ice figures growing out of everywhere. The rubble was broken as a giant Ice Geyser erupted in its place with the mages above. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy breathed the open air greedily now that they were released from their tomb.

Only a second later did the three realize they were barreling towards the ground below. A smirk came to Natsu's lips as he held Happy and Lucy close to his body and from his back erupted his wings of fire yet again. Their descent soon slowed down to safe levels till they were levitating in midair. Once seeing they were no longer endanger, Happy took upon himself to go onto Lucy's back and provide her flight.

"Wow Natsu, you have new wings." Happy praised as he stared at the new fiery appendages. "Guess I don't have to carry your lazy butt in the air anymore."

"You just notice them now!?" Exclaimed Natsu. "How did you not see them?! These things are freaking awesome!"

"I was too busy carrying Lucy around." Happy excused. "She has to lose some weight since she's so heavy."

"I am not fat, you fucking cat!" Cursed Lucy, holding her breasts underneath to extenuate their size. "Besides, if I am heavy it's because of these big puppies. They are a sign of beauty blessed by the heavens, not because I am overweight."

"Well, I kinda have to agree with Lucy on that." Natsu said with a perverted leer as he eyed Lucy. "They are pretty heavy. I should know."

He wasn't about to tell Happy that the bra Lucy wore didn't do her bust justice at all. While they look to be a solid E-cup with the bra on, in private with their nightly 'tendencies' Lucy revealed a full FF-cup for him to play with much to her extreme pleasure. Yep, he was one lucky son of a bitch with a girl that had her own fire to compete with his own, among 'other' things.

"Lucy, what have you done!?" Exclaimed Happy in horror as he watched the looks passed between the Dragon Slayer and the Demon Slayer. "You've turned Natsu into a pervert!"

"Oi, I am not a pervert like ice prick down there." Natsu proclaimed, suddenly latching on Lucy and pressing against his body. "I just love what I see on my Lucy!"

"Fu-fu-fu." Lucy snickered, leaning towards Natsu's ear to whisper in a husky whisper. "I'll show you more later."

"I can't believe this is happening." Happy mumbled in morbid terror. "There's no use trying to help you, Natsu. You're too far gone. My only choice is to get myself away from you so I don't get infected."

Lucy and Natsu produced a sweatdrop at the Exceed overreacting. They put their antics aside for now, and focused their attention back to the ground. At the edge of the massive Ice Geyser of demon ice Gray summoned the ice wizard himself was walking away from the sight on the ground while carrying both Lyon and Jura over his back. It earned to Gray's own slayer constitution that he was only winded from carrying a load over three times his own weight and his walk didn't show he was haggard by it. Natsu and Lucy flew down back to the ground to help their fellow guildmate to at least protect him if Zero decided to make sure to finish the job.

"I was just wondering how you three were going to stay up there." Gray quipped, gently setting the unconscious Lyon and Jura down on the ground.

"We have a job to do first before anything else." Lucy clarified with an air of professionalism.

"Yeah, and someone has to make that Zero guy pay for attacking us like that." Natsu growled, punching his right fist into his left palm to produce a few embers of dragon fire.

"Glad we're on the same page at least." Gray said. "These two are fine, but I don't think they will be waking up for the rest of the fight."

"That still leaves us with enough people who are really good in a fight." Natsu said. "We got Erza, Adrian, Siri, and ourselves. We still got this."

"Yeah, but there's the problem of where is the master of the Oracion Seis?" Gray countered.

"He may be long gone but his foul smell is still around the place." Natsu answered. "All I have to do is sniff him out."

That made Gray shut up. There was simply no way to dissuade Natsu's means of finding out the person, and its not like the dark mage was going to randomly wash off his scent.

"There you guys are!"

Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Gray turned towards the voice to find Adrian, Wendy, Erza, Jellal, Hibiki, Sherry, and Siri running towards them. Their need to move swiftly was mostly in worry of their comrades being caught in the explosion. It filled Erza's heart with relief and made Wendy burst in joy seeing that none of them were fine, or at least not dead. There moment of relief was not to last when they felt the crawling city stop abruptly and their attention went to the front. It was to Wendy's horror that Nirvana had stopped right above her own magic guild, Cait Shelter, with the mouth primed to fire.

"No, he wouldn't!" Natsu cursed.

"But they haven't done anything." Cried Wendy.

"It's going to fire Nirvana on them!?" Cried Erza.

Dark light swirled around the 'mouth' of Nirvana as it gathered more magic from the environment to power itself. The light grew to a size that it seemed a white sun was eclipsing the entire front of the walking city. Below the city in one of the chambers housing the power cores, Zero cackled in excitement for the destruction that will unfold before his eyes. Most of the light mages could only watch in morbid shock except for Adrian who was gritting his teeth in rage at this callous brutality. More so that the sight alone of Cait Shelter on the verge of being destroyed was bringing tears to Wendy's face. That was unacceptable.

When it seemed that Nirvana was about to unleash merciless destruction, the city suddenly shook like an earthquake. While the slayers collapsed from their afflicted weaknesses to motion, the other light mages were able to glance to the source. Smoke and fire were rising from one of the back legs of Nirvana that was being pelted by the black aircraft piloted by Cynthia. The sheer amount of firepower of explosive rounds and missiles broke something in the robotic limb to make it collapse under the weight, thus causing Nirvana to miss Cait Shelter entirely.

"Why are you all standing around like a bunch of pinheads!?" Cynthia's voice bellowed through the speakers of her high-speed craft as it continued to barrage the legs. "This is your chance to finish it once and for all! That machine is not going to smash itself! Besides, that's what we Fairy Tail wizards are good at!"

"Of course it's Cynthia..." Lucy muttered with mirth in her voice.

"Is there a way to stop it?" Adrian questioned hurriedly to Hibiki already searching with his Archive Magic.

"There is." Hibiki confirmed. "Those six legs Nirvana walks with? They are actually suckers that absorb magic from the earth. At each of their base is a lacrima that manages the magic flow. Our only chance at shutting down Nirvana is to simultaneously destroy all six of the lacrima cores at once. I am uploading the timer to your heads."

"Twenty minutes!?" Exclaimed Lucy as soon as she received the information.

"It's useless." Spoke the voice of Zero in the light mages' heads, causing a round of shocked gasps. "I am Zero. Master of the Oracion Seis. Just now you mentioned destroying the six lacrimas all at once. However, I am standing in front of one as of this very moment, and I have no intention to going anywhere else. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

A surge of magic was sent through the link that forced Hibiki out of his Archive Magic.

"If there are six lacrimas to destroy, then we have to split up into different groups to reach them at the same time." Jellal said. "Only a few of us are able to battle, excluding Jura and Lyon who are unconscious. That also means at least one person is left to fight Zero."

"That doesn't sound so bad to me." Natsu said, punching his fists together. "I'll go find the bastard myself and give him a spicy knuckle sandwich."

"You're going to track him down with his scent, aren't you?" Lucy accused Natsu with a sharp tone in her voice.

"Ehm... maybe?" Natsu answered in a nervous sweat.

Lucy sighed in defeat. "I can't stop you, but please be careful."

"I will." Natsu promised, pecking his lips on Lucy's forehead until she pulled him closer to whisper.

"You owe me a really hard night." Lucy said, her voice practically dripping with sexuality.

"What are we standing around here for!?" Roared Natsu, red flames dancing on his knuckles. "Let's bring this giant monstrosity down. I'll take 1."

"I'll join you." Adrian said, brandishing his Ten Commandments.

"I'll go to 2." Gray contributed.

"3!" Lucy called out.

"4!" Siri said.

"5!" Answered Erza.

"Then I will go to 6." Wendy answered, determination burning in her eyes.

The roar of Cynthia's fighter jet soaring over their heads served as the cue for the light mages to set out in their objectives. Below in room 1 however, the master of the Oracion Seis smiled cruelly as he waited for his prey to meet him.


(Natsu and Adrian)

In the tunnels leading to lacrima 1 was Natsu with Adrian trailing silently behind the Dragon Slayer. The more they ran down the tunnel, the more the Inquisitor of the Magic Council could feel the dread in the air. Natsu was more or less immune to it due to his tenacity to beat the master of Oracion Seis. He knew that at the end of the tunnel to the chamber of the lacrima was Zero himself. It was the same reason he called for the first lacrima because that's where Natsu followed Zero's scent to.

He was not disappointed once Natsu reached the literal end of the tunnel to the chamber holding the giant orb of ancient lacrima. Standing on the floor below the entrance was Zero himself with a smug smile and his bloodshot eyes staring into Natsu's soul. It was the kind of look that told that he could barely wait to rip his heart out and laugh at his corpse.

"Still alive, aren't you?" Said Zero. "Why are you here, brat?"

Natsu smiled and began to chuckle. "Because I wonder who gonna get destroyed? Me or-"

The rest of Natsu's words were cut off when he felt something chop at his neck and the whole world went silent. Zero quirked a brow as he watched Adrian deliver a hand chop to Natsu's neck to knock him out and settling the Dragon Slayer a decent distance from the entrance.

'Sorry Natsu.' Thought Adrian, his eyes facing down the monster waiting patiently in the chamber. 'But you've already expended too much magic to effectively defeat him in time. Besides, this is my job.'

Adrian's face was entirely blank so as to not betray any emotion. Zero contended himself to look at the boy until the Inquisitor hopped onto the ground floor. He had effectively sentenced himself to the fight Zero completely and there was no retreating.

"How curious." Zero said. "You struck down your own ally, and for what? So you can face me yourself?"

"A bit." Adrian said, drawing forth the Ten Commandments with one arm. "Natsu had used too much magic power before, and I was not sure the both of us could have worked. It was the best course of action at this time."

"Some would call it fool's errand, but to me it matters little to who or what comes to me as long as they are destroyed!" Zero cackled, dark magics bubbling around him as he pointed two fingers at the Adrian. "Dark Capricio."

Out of Zero's two fingers fired a green beam swirling with red fire. Adrian grit his teeth as he used the width of the Ten Commandments. The anti-magic properties of the first form blade provided the ultimate defense against whatever offensive magic came at him, and even the Dark Capricio of Zero could only disperse when in contact with the steel and instead piercing into the floor around Adrian. Yet Adrian had to grit his teeth from the force of the impact of the spell that was pushing back his footing. Zero only grew his smirk at Adrian's resistance.

"Do not mistake me for that weakling other." Zero cackled, flipping his two fingers in a certain pattern. "Unlike him, I have no wish to show mercy."

Sprouting out of the ground were the split beams of the original Dark Capricio that had been previously been drilling in the ground. Adrian held the Ten Commandments behind his back where most of the deadly beams were aiming for, but some simultaneously snaked their way passed his open guard. Tried as he might to avoid, but Adrian could not avoid the beams aimed at his side that tore through his grey shirt and left burning gashes on his flesh.

"Is that all you have, boy!?" Cried Zero, manipulating the Dark Capricio to take the form of a whip from his fingers.

"Not even close!" Adrian shouted back, blacking out whatever pain his body was inflicted with.

The Ten Commandments glowed in a spectrum of colors as the shape changed into Form 2: Explosion. The blade of explosive magic brimmed in a red haze, and Adrian took his chance to charge on the offensive. In an instant, Adrian was upon Zero in the middle of downward swing. Zero quickly countered raising his hand to summon a green shield of magic and on contact the edge of the blade sent off an explosion. Neither Adrian nor unfortunately Zero were unmoved by the concussive and heat of the explosive blade.

Adrian did not stop in his offense and poured more magic into Form 2 to make the blade glow a sinister red. When he slashed again, a line of red burned in the air. The young boy swung the sword in a stormy blur, making the air between him and Zero an ember red. He finished in a stance holding the large blade parallel to the ground.

"Omnislash." Adrian shouted as he thrusted the blade forward.

Zero widened when once the blade of Form 2 made contact with his shield it shattered from the combined explosive power the Inquisitor had set up. His feet had left the floor from the force and Adrian was on the chase. Adrian made a slash from the side, but in a surprising motion Zero caught the blade in his hands, which were drenched in dark magic to suppress the explosive power.

"It would seem that you are slightly more than the common trash." Zero said, delivering a bone-crunching punch to Adrian's jaw and sending him crashing back to the ground. "But that doesn't change the fact that you are beneath me."

Zero lashed out the Dark Capricio like a whip, striking Adrian across his left cheek with the force of a falling building. His face planted into a wall hard enough to shatter the stone. The beam of magic straightened itself blasting into the ground shortly before blasting back out to strike Adrian's back. He could not help the anguished cry that escaped his lips as he was sent into the air, and Zero came back down to drive his fist into Adrian's gut and return to the ground. The master of the Oracion Seis would have followed up with a point-blank blast, but Adrian had already moved to other ideas instead of the pain.

"Form 4: Hunter."

The Ten Commandments changed again into a massive cleaver with a barrel gun along the blunt end. That same barrel unleashed a volley of artillery shells powerful enough to go through the trunks of trees onto Zero. His green coat was turned into tatters, but his skin was only burned and his smile grew across his face. The whole attack had also created a cloud of smoke that Adrian used to backflip to a neutral distance.

"Do you feel this power, boy!?" Zero exclaimed, lifting up a hand that was surging dark magic in amounts that cracked the stone around him. "This is the darkness that annihilates even your ashes! What is your duty, your power compared to me!? Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

All that magic that shook the chamber condensed into a fist that Zero launched forward to obliterate Adrian. It was only a last minute change into Form 1 that saved Adrian from the blow. The fist of condensed dark magic impacted the buster sword with a bang. The oppressive power of Zero waved around him like corrosive air. He felt his entire body screaming in burning pain and his heels were digging into the stone.

"Is that all the 'Pride of Ishgar' can do!?" Zero mocked, dark green wisps surging into a storm on his punching arm. "I had hoped to see what sort of power that you are so famed for having, but all I feel is disappointment. Perhaps I'll look to that Sky Maiden then for new recruitment. From what Brain, there's a well of destruction waiting to be unleashed. I will mold her into a force of utter devastation!"

Adrian lost whatever footing he had as Zero pushed more strength into the blow. His heels scrapped through the stone like melted butter, and the opposing wall was approaching dangerously by the second. He couldn't find the strength within himself to somehow break out of the hold Zero had on him. There was no sight of victory as it seemed. But it was in such a moment of doubt that a voice Adrian can only dreamed of came to mind.

'When you think you can't go on, remember...'

'Father!?' Adrian thought in shock and suddenly newfound strength suffused in his body to combat Zero.

"I'll beat you not because it's my duty... it's is so I can keep my loved ones safe." Adrian barely let out as he slowly pushed back against Zero till the point the collision between was a stalemate. "Nor will you ever go near Wendy... I'll train her myself if I have to... until she's ready."

"It's embarrassing how much you are resisting." Zero spat.

"I won't." Adrian exclaimed, suddenly abandoning his sword and lunging forth with his left hand clenched in a fist glowing a dark light. "I REFUSE TO DIE HERE!"

Completely caught off guard, Zero had no chance to evade the blow that connected to his left cheek. His whole face rippled from the punch of magic so potent the shockwave proceeded outward to shatter rock. Zero himself could not believe of this well of power that the child was summoning that was dwarfing whatever he had shown previously and dare he say getting closer to his own level. His eyes strained to look at the limb that had punched him only to widen at the glow of black light emanating from Adrian's fist. It was unlike the light of Nirvana that was chaotic; instead this light seemed much more than what Nirvana could achieve.

'This boy - is a God Slayer!' Zero thought.

"A clever trick." Zero said as he righted himself and prepared a blow with his left arm, the upsurge of magic creating a whirlwind in the chamber. "But the darkness shall still claim you in the void!"

"Then my light shall burn brighter to chase it away!" Adrian shouted as he raised his right arm.

'This is a power no other before you has been blessed with.'The voice of Ea spoke in Adrian's head, and he could physically feel his hand resting on his shoulder as any father would. 'It is the kind of power that answers to the hope of the people. I trust it to you for good reason. Do your best, my son.'

Adrian felt as though something was given into his right hand and he gripped onto it as though to shatter whatever it was. As his fist clenched, the whole room was bathed in the light of stars. It was the brilliant divine light of the gods themselves whose blood flowed in Adrian's veins. Zero let out a gasp as his own magic disintegrated from the divine light while Adrian's increased at tremendous levels. The demigod in question let out a bellow worthy of the divine blood within him as he closed in for the finisher.

'Goodby, Zero!' Thought Adrian, his fist colliding with Zero's jaw in sounds of bone crunching and flesh being torn apart.

"Light God's Secret Art: Rupturing Star: Longinus Smasher!"

Adrian drove Zero face first into the ground, and instantly the whole chamber was filled with bright light. All in the meantime, the other light mages were simultaneously launching their magics at the orbs of lacrima. There was deadly pause of silence that settled on the world before one sixth of Nirvana exploded in brilliant black light and the city was forced to earth.

"Wh-What the hell was that explosion!?" Lucy panicked as the whole place around her was crumbling apart.

In the room with lacrima 6, Wendy was staring in awe at the sky that featured a pillar of black light that was Adrian's magic unleashed. Unlike the others, she was relatively safe being on the other side of city and the only damage being the ceiling. She knew this magic as well to be Adrian's and every time she saw it she couldn't help but look up at her crush with more praise. The reason as to why Adrian rarely used his God Slayer magic was because simply it was so destructive that he could endanger entire mountain ranges if he is careless in its use. To Wendy, it only served to make her idolize Adrian more and make her feel an odd sense that she can only describe as really happy.

She'll understand when she's older.


I know it may seem stupid to knock out Natsu, but I wanted to have Adrian shine in this chapter. And if nobody has realized, I am trying to make characters like Wendy more prominent in the story and I will definitely put in plot to make her stronger. She's always been one of my favorite characters alongside Natsu, Erza, and Gajeel. An abrupt end I know it seems but it'll flow more in the future.

Up next is Chapter 32.
