Chapter 5: Resort's Final Brawl: Touma vs Jackal!
Island Resort's final brawl was between the bomb demon Jackal and the unlucky abnormal boy, Touma. Cure Summer was witness to his heroic act saving her and the others from being blown to bits and bypassing Jackal's curse twice.
The demon laid there, sprawled out on his back after Touma struck him again. This time he had a shocked expression on his face. 'What the hell? He predicted my curse power and blocked it instantly. Additionally, he punched me and I felt my power waning for a moment.
Jackal shook it off and slowly rose to his feet. 'Now is not the time for anger. It shouldn't be necessary for me to use my Etherious form to defeat this guy. I already took out those three. All that is left is him and the girl, and then I can deal with the rest of them no problem.'
Once he was back on his feet, the demon turned to Touma and Cure Summer with a sly grin on his face. "You really think you can defeat me? Humans ought to know that no matter how strong they are, they cannot compete with demons!"
"I don't give a damn about what you are!" Touma snapped. "I won't let you hurt anyone else on this island!"
"Well, let's see!" Jackal flicks his arm down vertically. Detonating a series of explosions towards Touma. After thrusting his right arm down, the explosion vanished when it came into contact.
"That's a pretty nifty ability you got there," Jackal mocked. "We'll see if it can keep up with my Bomb Curse."
Jackal swiping both arms in an X formation. Touma was able to see the invisible wave of air in the form of an X moving towards him. As before, he threw his right fist and managed to erase the wave before it detonate. Right after he cancels that, Jackal already sends another blast hitting the boy's chest, which causes him to be sent flying.
"Touma!" Summer and Index cried out. Touma tumbled across the ground, until he was on his stomach.
"AHAHAHAHA~!" Jackal laughed maniacally. "What was that about not wanting to hurt anyone? You may have bypassed my curse, but you are still a weak human!"
Cure Summer gritted her teeth annoyed by Jackal's taunts. She was just about to rush at him, but froze when she noticed Touma struggling to get on his feet. As his shirt tore, he was emitting smoke, barely breathing.
Immediately, the boy rushes towards Jackal. "GET AWAY FROM ME~!" Jackal threw multiple swipes of the air towards weak boy. He moved to the left of one explosion and rolled away from another.
"He's dodging the explosion?!" Summer said in awed. Touma rushed at Jackal while avoiding the explosions. Jackal was unable to react in time as the Level 0 smashed an uppercut into his chin, which knocked him back.
Jackal trembled in terror when he saw the boy. Astonishingly, the boy's gaze remained strong and determined even after being struck by the blast. 'H-how is he still alive?! That blast should've killed him!'
Seeing Touma's right hand twitching, Jackal shivered even more. 'What kind of power does he possess with that right hand of his? It's like he's a monster!"
Touma and the others watch as Jackal's body morphs into a large, tall monster. He let out a growl as he continued to swell in size and gait. 'Then again, SO AM I!'
"W-What?!" Cure Summer was lost in words by Jackal's sudden transformation.
"Ugh," Hibiki groaned as she slowly pushed herself up to a sitting position. "My head hurts…" Once she witnessed Jackal changing her eyes widen. "W-What the?!"
"Whoa, what happened to the dog guy?" Luffy asked after waking up as well. Before them stood a towering bipedal beast with yellow fur, and canine-like maws.
"ROAWRRR!" The demon roar echoed across the island resort. He then lunged at Touma. "I WON'T LET A PATHETIC HUMAN LIKE YOU LOOK DOWN ON ME!"
Due to his injuries, Touma had no time to react. Just before Jackal's claw aimed at him, Hibiki flew in front of him, and crossed her arm blocking the fist from aiming at the injured boy. Cure Summer quickly caught the injured boy and ran back to a safe place.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY HUMAN!" Jackal roared in rage.
"Don't take humans lightly!" Hibiki shouted. She was able to hold her ground by using her power jacks from her feet to connect on the ground, but was slowly pushed back.
"Gum Gum Stamp~!" Luffy jumped in the air and stretched his left leg, kicking Jackal in the face. The force caused the beast to stagger a bit.
While singing, Hibiki pulled back her right gauntlet and dashed forward when her shoulder rocket exploded. Before Jackal could recover, Hibiki slammed her fist into the beast's guts, her gauntlet released a massive explosion dealing extra damage to Jackal and slid him back.
"Damn you!" Jackal growled as he rushed toward Hibiki. Only for him to quickly bring his forearm to block a flaming kick from Natsu.
"It doesn't matter if you're a demon or not. No one messes with Fairy Tail and gets away with it!" Natsu declared with a devilish grin. He then puffed his cheeks "Fire Dragon Roar~!"
Jackal was consumed by a large funnel of flames unleashed from Natsu's mouth. The demon screamed in pain as he skidded back. Once the roar died down, Jackal was still on his feet, his body covered in burns and marks.
"I'm not done with you bastards yet," Jackal growled.
"Man this guy is tough," Natsu stated.
"He is," Hibiki said determinedly. "But I'm not giving up!"
"Yeah, I'm not going to die here," Luffy added.
"Now you can finish him off!" Laura called out to Cure Summer.
"W-wait I can?!" Summer asked, a bit startled.
"You idiot," Laura scolded annoyed. "Use that attack on him!"
"Oh~!" Summer said, just realizing what she meant. She summoned her Heart Rouge Rod.
"What are you going to do with that?" Index asked, gazing at the weapon.
"You'll find out!" Cure Summer answered with a grin. She dashed towards the battle and jumped high into the air. "It's over for you demon!"
Cure Summer twists the top of the Heart Rouge Rod revealing lipstick. She kissed it and created a pink heart that turns into a large orange sun.
Jackal looked up growl at Cure Summer, "D-Damn you humans!" He was about to fire an explosion, but the injuries he got from Luffy, Hibiki and Natsu had finally caught up with him.
"Pretty Cure! Sunny Summer Strike!" With her rod, Cure Summer sends the large sun flying downwards towards Jackal. The beast was trapped in a pair of lips upon impact. Summer then landed in front of him, and jumped in the air in a victory pose. "Victory~!"
Upon her final word, the pair of lips exploded, in bright sparks. Natsu, Luffy and Hibiki had to cover their eyes from the blinding sparkles. As the light faded, it revealed the demon returned back to normal, his eyes covering his hair. He stood for second before collapsing on his stomach in KO.
"We did it~!" Hibiki declared, smiling that the fight was over.
"Finally he's down!" Natsu declared as he collapsed on his knees. "That guy was tough I had to admit!"
"Did you see that she just fired a large sun at him!" Luffy comically said in amazement. "That was so amazing!"
"Hey, what about my roar attack?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah that was cool too, you remind me of my brother Ace!" Luffy said happily.
Index watched in the distance with the unconscious boy beside him. He still hasn't woken up after Summer brought him to a safe distance.
"You did it yet again Touma," Index softly said while wiping the tears in her eyes. "I just wish you didn't have to get injured every time."
"LUFFY~!"
"HIBIKI~!"
"SUMMER~!"
Their attention was immediately drawn to Usopp, Chopper, and Kirika who were running towards them. Not far behind them were Cure Princess, Lovely, Coral, and Chris.
"Usopp! Chopper!" Luffy called back.
"Chris~! Kirika~!" Hibiki answered back, glad that they were okay.
"Coral~!" Summer waved recognizing her friend.
Natsu, Luffy, and Hibiki suddenly had multiple symbols appear on their bodies, causing an explosion that caught Summer as well.
"AHH!" Usopp, Kirika Chopper, and Princess yelled.
"What the hell!?" Chris blurted out startled by the explosion.
"S-Summer!?" Coral cried out worried. Once the dust died down, the trio along with Summer were lying sprawled on their backs.
"SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR~!" Chopper panics comically.
"That's you~!" Usopp dope slapped the reindeer.
"Wait, you weren't joking about that?!" Kirika questioned.
While Chopper began treating Luffy's injuries, Coral knelt down towards Summer. "Summer are you okay?!"
"Yeah…I'm Tropical shine alright~!" Summer beamed despite being caught in the blast.
"What on earth happened to you!?" Kirika asked Hibiki.
"We just took down a demon…" Hibiki answered.
"Gehehe…"
The faint laughter got everyone tensed up. They slowly turn their eyes towards Jackal who slowly lifted his head with a devilish grin on his face.
"You have got to be kidding me," Natsu growled.
"No way, he shouldn't be able to survive your attack!" Laura exclaimed in shock.
"This is embarrassing," Jackal snickered weakly. "Sorry, Kyoya. I've lost...but at least...I can take these guys down with me."
As soon as he uttered those words, golden pillars of light began to erupt from every angle of the resort. Drumming suddenly blared in their ears, causing some of them to tremble in terror.
"Does he still have that much strength to pull it off?" Index declared in awed. She was unaware of the boy standing up and walking towards them.
"What the hell is going on?!" Chris asked, looking alarmed by the eerie sound.
"Don't tell me he's…" Hibiki said with a traumatized look on her face.
"He's attempting to blow himself and the island up?!" Summer finished with the same expression.
"WHAT!?" Usopp, Princess, Kirika and Chopper comically yelled.
"Like hell I'll let that happen!" Chris declared clenching her red crystal.
"Go ahead and kill me!" Jackal dared, his eyes glaring at Chris, causing her to freeze in fear. "It won't change your fate in hell!"
"AHH, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Chopper screamed. He and Cure Princess held onto each other frightened.
Usopp violently shook his captain. "Come on Luffy! You have to send this guy flying before he explodes!"
"Hurry Hibiki~! You need to get up!" Kirika called out.
"Please stop!" Cure Lovely pleaded to Jackal. "Why are you doing all of this?!"
"It's too late for you humans," The demon chuckled with a maniac grin, "YOU'LL ALL GONNA DIE WITH ME! I'M TAKING YOU ALL TO HELL!"
Except for Luffy and Natsu, the sound of Jackal's laughter scared the others. Cure Summer had no strength to stand up. The hope she had been holding onto was washed away by the despair she felt. She could only stare at the sky as the pillars of light surrounding her got brighter.
"Is this the end?" She asked herself as she slowly closed her eyes. Images of her family and her friends appeared in her mind, causing the blond Precure to sob quietly to herself with tears forming in her eyes.
After hearing slow footsteps, she opened her eyes. The same spiky hair boy from before caught her eye. As she slowly sat up, she saw him heading towards the one responsible for all this.
"Touma…?" Summer weakly replied in awed.
Jackal used a bit of his energy to lift his head, waiting to see the devastating looks on their faces. However, he instead detected the injured boy coming towards him, causing the demon's grin to disappear.
'Impossible...How is he still standing? Better yet, why isn't he afraid of me?' Jackal questioned in his head. 'He should know by now that it's pointless to stop me from blowing myself up!'
"It's over," Touma declared sternly. "You already lost. Why go this far to prove yourself?"
"Shut up!" Jackal snapped. "Humans will never catch up to us! I don't fear dying! I have the power to come back to life and annihilate all of you!
Touma stood silent as the humming sound blared over the panicking screams coming from the other. He clenched his fist. "Well, you better get used to living, pal; because no one's dying by your hands. Including you."
"Huh?" Jackal felt a mixture of confusion and fear. Touma got close enough to the demon, staring down at the him with a vicious glare.
"You better get used to living Jackal..." He warned as he raised his right fist. "I'm about to break this whole messed up illusion of yours here and now!"
Touma's fist struck the demon's face as the golden light engulfed the two. The force of the impact broke the demon's nose and caused his eyes to roll in the back of her head. The rumbling intensified as the golden light blinded the entire island, causing a massive explosion.
But it was not destructive.
In its place, a golden light engulfed the whole island, bursting into tiny sparkling specks of light.
Cure Summer, who witnessed the action, slowly stood up, admiring the golden sparkles in the sky. "So pretty,"
"W-wait! Hell isn't supposed to be pret-Eh?" Cure Princess who was clinging onto Usopp and Chopper, slowly let go as she noticed everything was back to normal. Getting the odd reaction, the rest of them looked up in awe at the remarkable sight. Some of them were confused by the sudden change, while others were too stunned to speak.
"What just happened?" Chris asked, breaking the silence.
"I think we all landed in heaven," Usopp calmly replied, but it didn't last long as Luffy smacked the back of his head. "What the hell was that for Luffy~?!"
"Cause I felt like it," Luffy answered with a deadpan look on his face.
"W-We're alive!" Kirika said, stunned.
"It was like everything that happened just now was a dream," Cure Lovely said in awed.
"Summer?" Cure Coral asked, noticing Summer glancing at Touma who was standing there breathing heavily. She realized how injured he was during the fight as he started wobbling a bit.
The girl quickly dashed towards the boy and caught him before he was able to hit the ground. "Touma? Touma, please wake up!"
The boy coughed some blood before turning to Cure Summer giving her a grin. "Yeah, I'm fine...Just a little tired."
"Thank goodness you're alright," She answered with relief. She quickly glanced at Jackal who laid KO'd with a fist print on his face. 'He did it again, he stopped this demon from harming anyone. He is so cool!'
"TOUMA~!"
Summer felt a very dangerous aura coming out of a certain nun's body. She bore her fang on her target who was resting in Summer's arms. The Precure realized what was going to happen and quickly went between Index and Touma.
CHOMP!
"IT HURT~!" Summer wailed comically. She ran frantically around trying to get Index off of her head.
"Hah?" Chris just stared at the scene with a dumbstruck look.
"Man~! Those two are so funny~!" Luffy laughed at the scene.
"Did you idiots forget that we were just seconds of dying?" Usopp sweatdropped.
"Hey, Luffy!" The Straw Hat captain turned to find two of his crewmates, Zoro and Sanji. Not too far behind them were Cure Honey, Wannai, Awatsuki, Maria, and Tsubasa.
"Zoro! Sanji!" Luffy called back.
"Tsubasa~! Maria~!" Hibiki also called out.
"Honey~!" Lovely and Princess ran up to Honey and hugged her.
"It's good to see you two~!" Honey answered cheerfully.
"Whoa," Sanji noticed the carnage on the beach. It was different compared to the android's destruction. "What happened here?"
"We just kicked a demon's ass," Luffy replied.
"A demon?" Wannai and Awatsuki asked, puzzled. The ones who haven't seen Jackal's transformation stared at Luffy with an odd look on their faces.
"Did you just say, demon?" Usopp asked.
"Yup," Hibiki, Luffy and Natsu responded with a deadpanned looks on their faces.
"After facing alchemists, giant gods, and monsters, we should expect demons," Chris mumbled under her breath.
"You all should've seen him~! He used some sort of bomb powers~!" Cure Summer said with hyperactive happiness. Despite Index gnawing on her head. "Then he grew into a large beast, and I purified it. But he was about to blow up the entire island," She pointed to Touma, "He stopped it with some unique power!"
"I…have no idea what she's talking about," Maria declared sweatdropped.
"…Is that a nun eating the girl's head?" Zoro questioned with a sweatdropped.
Chopper turned to Luffy while treating Touma. "Maybe he ate a devil fruit that turned him into a human bomb."
"We already came across a guy who has that ability," Usopp replied, remembering Mr.5 from Baroque Works.
"We have?" Luffy took about a minute to realize what he meant. "Oh, you mean that guy who shoots explosive boogers out of his nose?"
"E-Explosive boogers?!" Kirika, Wannai, Awatsuki, and Chris exclaimed comically in disgust.
"That sounds kind of cool," Natsu said, impressed. "I wonder if I could do that with my fire magic."
"STOP TIME OUT!" Cure Princess comically shouted, forming an X with her arms. Everyone stared at her startled by her outburst. "You guys are not making any sense right now!"
"Oi ~! Quit shouting in my ears~!" The blue Precure eyes widened comedically when she saw Accelerator right behind her.
Last Order glanced at Chopper causing her eyes to sparkle, "Look Accelerator, Misaka exclaimed pointing at the raccoon dog treating the savior!"
'What the hell kind of talking is that?' Chris questioned in her head. 'And why did he call this plain spikey boy a savior?'
When he noticed Touma's condition, he couldn't help but smirk. "So the fuck'n hero saved the day again."
"Again?" Summer asked, looking amazed. "So you know about his cool powers?!"
"NATSU~!" Lucy called out in the distance. She along with Levy were carrying the injured Erza, and not far off were Happy, Charla, Lily, Gajeel, Papaya, and Fortune.
"Happy! Lucy~!" Natsu replied back.
"What do you know, she was able to catch up," Accelerator acknowledged.
"Thanks to you jerk for leaving me behind~!" Lucy annoyingly called out to the albino haired.
"It's not fault that you were carrying dead weight," Accelerator retaliated.
"Papaya, Fortune~!" Summer announced. "Have you two seen Flamingo anywhere?"
"Those girls have some weird names," Chris, Kirika, Zoro and Usopp thought with a sweatdropped.
"No, we thought they were with you," Fortune said sadly.
"Wendy isn't here?" Charla looked around concerned.
"No," Natsu frowned while Lucy set Erza down beside Touma. "Damn, if they lay a finger on them, I'll pay those bastards back."
"You're already in bad shape as it is, moron," Gajeel mocked, grinning. "In the meantime, I took out a little runt without a scratch."
"I dare you to say that again~!" Natsu barked at the Iron Dragon Slayer.
"NATSU~!" Wendy cried out, waving one of her arms in one hand. Cynthia, Gray, Juvia, Cure Flamingo, Shirabe and the boy on her back were not far behind.
"Wendy Cynthia~!" Most of Fairy Tail minus Erza called out in relief.
"Flamingo~!" The Precure shouted in glee.
"Flamingo? Where?" Luffy asked, eagerly looking around.
"I think that's her name," Usopp corrected. "Which is probably the most weirdest one yet."
"Charla!" Wendy left as she immediately ran to her companion.
"Wendy!" The white cat flew towards her and gave Wendy a big hug. "I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried sick."
"More survivors~!" Sanji announced, eying the ladies with hearts for eyes.
"Oh great it's him," Chris glaring at Gray.
"SHIRABE~!" Kirika wasted no time as she rushed past the others and tackled Shirabe in a tight and loving hug, causing her to fall back. "I'm glad you're alright desu~! I was so worried when the hotel was destroyed~! I would've come earlier but those stupid crabs got in our way~!"
"Kirika!" Shirabe was relieved that Kirika and the other gears were okay. But at the same time, she realized something. "I'm glad you are alright as well. But would you mind not tackling me when I have an injured person?"
"Eh?" Kirika blinked a bit before noticing the poor boy under two girls. He coughed up a bit of blood. "D-DEATH~!"
"AHHH~! THE GRIM REAPER KILLED HIM~!" Usopp comically exclaimed.
"HOW DARE YOU CALL HER A GRIM REAPER~!" Sanji barked, kicking him.
"How is everyone so hyper after what happened?" Fortune asked with a sweatdropped. Kirika and Shirabe quickly got off while Chopper and Wendy placed the boy with Touma and Erza and the two started treating them.
"That kid," Gajeel mumbled, eying him.
"Yeah, no doubt about it. He's definitely one of us," Natsu agreed with Gajeel's suspicion.
"Eh? One of what?" Lovely asked, glancing at the two.
Kirika eyed Gray for a second before realizing. "Hey, Chris~! Isn't that the guy who you had sex with on the beach earlier~!?"
…
…
…
"WHAT~!?" Everyone minus Luffy, Summer, Papaya, Zoro, Natsu, Chopper, Usopp and Gajeel exclaimed comically. Juvia's entire body turned white in horror. But the remaining Symphogear girls minus Chris who turned tomatoes red were shocked.
"Y-You had sex on the beach!?" Maria spluttered blushing.
"Eh~? I never thought Chris would do something so kinky," Hibiki teased.
POW~!
"SHUT UP DUMBASS~!" Chris roared with shark teeth. Hibiki was on her back with a fist print on her face. She then turned to Kirika. "And don't say it like that! We didn't had sex~!"
"She's right," Usopp added. "We were there as well. From my point of view, the guy was all naked while she was clothed. I would call that sexual harassment!"
"How dare you! Gray would never sexually harass another woman~!" Juvia yelled at Usopp.
"I-I'm not afraid of you woman~!" Usopp declared while hiding behind Zoro. "Go get her Zoro~!"
"Leave me out of this," Zoro growled annoyed.
Natsu stared at Gray looking unimpressed. "Hump, I knew you would randomly strip naked, but assaulting someone like that? I've lost all respect for you, you perverted icic-!"
Gray kicked Natsu in the head with a quick motion, sending him tumbling into the water. The others minus, Luffy, Index, and the Fairy Tail guildmates were shocked by the ice mage's action.
"H-Hey!" Cure Princess glared at Gray. "Why did you do that!?"
"Because it's all his fault!" Gray clarified without staring at her. She was about to respond, but stopped when Natsu angrily went up to the ice mage and comically slamming his head into Gray's.
"I'm not the one with the ice magic, you stupid shaved stripper!" Natsu barked.
"Well if you didn't start climbing up the slide like a dumbass, then I wouldn't have to freeze it you pyromaniac~!" Gray shot back. The others minus Luffy who was laughing sweatdropped as Natsu and Gray engaged in a childish brawl.
"Does this happen a lot?" Maria asked, a bit dumbfounded.
"Pretty much everyday," Lucy sighed.
"Those two are so childish," Zoro scolded.
"Yeah, they let their emotions get the better of them," Sanji added.
"You two have no room to talk~!" Usopp comically barked.
"Should we stop them?" Wannai asked, looking worried.
"Don't worry, they'll stop fighting eventually," Cynthia answered, looking unsure of herself.
Fortunately for her, the two stopped fighting. However, some were forced to avert their eyes when they saw the ice mage without his trunks.
"Give that back Natsu~!" Gray ordered the Dragon Slayer who had his trunks twirling around on index finger with a smirk on his face.
"D-DEATH~!" Kirika quickly covered her eyes, blushing.
Papaya seemed unphased, "So this is what a man's private part looks like."
"Even in your Precure form, you still look unphased by anything," Princess sweatdropped.
"Don't just stand there, get your pants back~!" Flamingo shouted.
"What do you think I'm trying t-GAH!" Before Gray could finish, two pairs of feet planted into the back of his head. Everyone stared in shock as the naked mage fell to the ground. Before he could move, a bunch of needles appeared from above and landed all around his body.
"Whoa~! Didn't see that coming," Cynthia blurted out in awe. Kuroko appeared on top of Gray, twirling handcuffs.
"As a member of Judgement, you are under arrest for disrobing in public," Kuroko said. She grabbed the unconscious Gray's hands and latched the handcuffs on him.
"Kuroko!" Wannai and Awatsuki said in unison.
Natsu couldn't help but laugh cruelly at Gray's position. "I can't believe you let a little girl push you arou-."
"Move it!" Natsu was interrupted by Nami's fist slamming him into the ground.
"Oi..." Everyone besides Accelerator shivered by her incredible strength.
"Nami-Swan!" Sanji yelled with hearts for eyes when he spotted Nami and Misaka.
"Misaka~!" Wannai and Awatsuki called out.
"Thank goodness you guys are alright," Misaka said with relief. As she scouted the area, she spotted Index and a beaten-up Touma being treated by Chopper. Immediately she ran towards him. "What happened to him?"
"He got badly injured while fighting that guy," Index answered, gesturing to Jackal. "I wish Touma would stop getting into dangerous situations like this."
"You and I both," Misaka agreed. She stared at the unconscious Jackal, with a puzzled look. 'Why does that guy look like a dog?'
"Hey Nami, have you seen Robin?" Usopp asked.
"No, I bet she's probably back on the ship," Nami answered. "What a weird day this has been."
"Tell me about it," Zoro agreed. "One minute I'm asleep. The next, I woke up and found the resort was a mess."
"Okay, how does someone like you sleep when they were killer robots around the resort?" Flamingo turned to him dumbfounded.
"I found mosshead under a pile of androids for some reason," Sanji replied, lilting up a cigar.
"...So while we were running for our lives…you were sleeping?" Nami questioned as a red aura appeared around Nami as she marched towards him.
"Huh?" Zoro growled as a green aura surrounded him.
BANG~! BONK~! BING~!
Which didn't do any good as Zoro was knocked out with three lumps on his head.
'S-She's worse than Erza~!' Almost half of Fairy Tail muttered quietly in fear.
"Okay, now that's all over," Lucy cleared her throat. "Does anyone know what just happened?!"
"We have no clue," Fortune answered. "After the explosion, all the tourists started attacking us."
"It was the Hinora Clan," Shirabe announced, getting everyone's attention. "They were the ones responsible for the androids and the hotel bombing. I wouldn't have made it out of there alive, if it weren't for this boy."
"He save her?" Kirika muttered in awe, while glancing at the young boy.
Mitsune, limping and wounded, went to the rubble hotel and gaped at the sight of her friend Naru's corpse. "Oh, my gosh! N-Naru?!"
Mitsune ran toward her comrade, but stopped when she saw a small boat appear out of nowhere. Inside it was a small look male with a yellow, curly mustache, wearing a black ringmaster circus outfit. Behind him was Suu, who was in the pod but had swirls for eyes, and Sarah who was foaming at the mouth.
"My my my, what are misfits like you doing here?" The man mocked.
"T-That should be my question," Mitsune grinned weary. "Why is one of Mui's toys here?"
"Oh my Oh my OH my~! How cruel of you," He taunted, smirking. "I'm only here to escort you all back to HQ."
"What? You mean Sarah and Suu were also beaten?" Mistune asked, looking doubtful.
"Yup, Yup Yup~!" The man nodded happily. "You all underestimated these people and paid the price~!"
Both the guy and Mistune glanced at Naru's corpse, which revealed that no blood was forming. Rather, nuclear green goop formed from her upper body and attached her back to normal. Mistune was startled by this.
"I didn't know…she could do that," She could say in awed.
"She's known as the Ultimate Polluter for nothing! Her magic allows her to morph her body into nuclear energy," The man said. "Yup, Yup Yup, however she'll need about five tanks of nuclear energy to get her strength back."
"If that's the case, there's still a chance to kill the boy," Mistune replied. "I'll sneak past the others and end his li-GAH~!"
She collapsed to the ground as soon as the man swung his cane right at her head. "Now now now~! Who said your orders were to kill him? He's our precious source to the Delta Ruins and the key to eliminating the Grand Line."
His top hat opened and out floated a small purplish-black orb. "It's time for you to shine this place into the darkness, my little pet!"
The orb then quickly flew up in the air. He then tossed Mistune and Naru on the boat, and just as he got on, it vanished.
Upon sensing the orb, the boy's shot right up, which caught everyone's attention.
"Look who's finally up," Zoro said. Seeing their glaring eyes, the boy shuddered and quickly turned away.
"Now we can get some answers," Misaka said, sternly.
"It's best if you let me handle this," Kuroko suggested. "Knowing you, you might shock him into talking."
Misaka stared shocked at her, "What do you take me for! I wouldn't do something like that!"
"Also I don't think some who can just drop kick people for no reason should be talking to kids," Gray retorted, managing to free himself from the handcuffs.
"H-Hey how did you escape those handcuffs?" Kuroko asked, startled.
"I just broke them using my ice magic. No big deal," Gray answered.
"M-magic?" Kuroko repeated doubtfully, but she noticed the cuffs on the ground covered in ice. 'Impossible! There's no such thing as magic! He must be hiding his esper ability.'
"Hey," The boy flinched as Luffy magically came close to him. "My name's Luffy and I want you to join my crew!"
"Dumbass~!" Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Nami snapped at their captain.
Natsu pushed the Straw Hat captain out of the way. "Hey, you wanna join Fairy Tail? We could use a person like you on our team!"
Luffy angrily butted his head. "He's joining my crew!"
"No, he's joining Fairy Tail!" Natsu growled back. The two were glaring at each other but were immediately silenced when Maria grabbed both their ears tugging them up.
"We don't have time for this," Maria sternly said to the two before glancing at Shirabe. "I think it would be best if you talked to him."
"Me?" The Shul Shagana user asked, startled.
"I guess it's understandable," Tsubasa agreed. "According to your words, you were the first person to see him."
Before Shirabe could speak, the boy quickly got on his feet and stared overhead. The others followed suit, but could barely notice the orb because of it so far.
"What is he looking at?" Lucy asked, squinting her eyes.
Usopp used his goggles to get a closer look. "Something is floating in the sky. but I can't get a clear image of it."
Wendy's eyes widen in shock as the air current rushes rapidly toward the center of the resort.
"What's wrong Wendy?" Charla asked as she noticed her sudden reaction.
Before she could answer, the dark orb grew enough for the others to see it. Building debris floated towards it and instantly disintegrated into a dark substance, before being sucked in.
"W-what?!" Hibiki stared at the orb in shock.
"A b-black hole!?" Papaya blurted out finally out of character.
"I-Impossible..." Kuroko stuttered in disbelief. "H-How is this even happening?!"
"What did we do to deserve this?" Lucy softly asked herself.
"HELP ME~!" Happy found himself along with Lily getting pulled in by the gravity.
"Hang on!" Natsu reaches out his hand, snagging both the cats by their tails. "Gotcha!"
"Thanks, Natsu," Happy said, looking dizzy. Natsu suddenly felt himself getting lifted off the ground.
"Natsu!" Lucy ran towards him and leapt up, grabbing his leg. Unfortunately, this caused the blond wizard to be lifted on with them. "Wah!"
"This is bad," Happy cried out, "Even Lucy's weight is no match for the black hole!"
"Is this really the time to make fun of my weight!?" Lucy yelled. Soon everyone was being lifted off the ground by gravity coming from the black hole, which was growing larger as it absorbed pieces of the water slide.
"Don't worry Nami! I'll save you!" Sanji said as he tried to swim over to Nami. But was headbutted from the back by Index knocking him out. Some of the gear users suddenly found themselves deformed back to normal.
"Why is my gear not working!?" Kirika flailed.
"Mine either!" Chris cursed.
"Can't you use teleportation to get us out of here?!" Cynthia asked Kuroko.
"If I could, I would have done it by now!" Kuroko snapped back, ignoring the 'magic' part. "For some reason, the black hole's nullified by esper powers."
"Mine too," Cure Honey added, feeling hopeless.
"This is it!" Anime tears began to pour down Usopp's cheeks. "We're goners!"
The boy, however, was not surprised by the incident as others were. Instead, he turned his lower body into a transparent whirlwind and flew through the group until he reached the end. He was just a few inches towards the space where the objects dissolve into particles before getting sucked in the black hole.
'I have to time this just right,' He told himself as he noticed the others coming closer. 'I won't let any more people die because of me!' The boy took a deep breath sucking up a bit of air he can get. While others were busy trying to break free from the unknown force pulling them in, some caught witness to the boy's actions.
'What is he trying to do?' Shirabe asked, noticing the boy.
'Did he just turn himself into wind?!' Cynthia questioned.
"SO COOL~!" Luffy eyes sparkled loudly.
"Healing Roar...of the Delta Sky Dragon," The boy fired a huge funnel of green wind out of his mouth. In addition to forcing the group away from the black hole, it pushed them high in the air, off the island.
"W-What going on!?" Cure Princess shouted, flailing her arms wildly in the air. The pain she felt while fighting the androids suddenly disappeared from her body. "M-My body…is healed?!"
"What's going on here?" Gajeel questioned as his injuries from fighting Sarah were healing.
The same sensation has been connected to everyone after getting hit by the boy's roar, including Jackal. Unfortunately, Touma wasn't so lucky due to his right hand.
"Hey, guys look!" Usopp shouted to the other straw hats pirates but got everyone's attention as they noticed that they were heading towards the Going Merry.
"Cool a pirate ship!" Summer eyes glazed in excitement.
"A boat?!" Cynthia Gajeel and Natsu groaned, feeling their stomach's turning already.
Back on the island, the boy's leg transformed into dark green whirlwinds, launching himself off the ground before the ground underneath him was engulfed by the black hole. He flew off the island and noticed the group he blew out of the island, landing on the ship which comedically bounced in the center like rubber.
His breathing became heavy, indicating that he was consuming too much magic. So he used the last bit of energy to fly on top of the Going Merry's crows nest and collapsed into it. 'I did it…I was able to save everyone…'
Back on the ship, the others were slowly recovering from their unexpected flight out of black hole.
"Is everyone alright?!" Coral asked concern.
"Yeah...surprisingly," Kirika answered, rubbing the back of her head.
Cure Summer groaned as she slowly sat up on her knees, with her hands rubbing her forehead. She suddenly felt like two pairs of eyes glaring at her from behind. She cautiously turned around to find Index and Misaka with a dark aura surrounding their bodies.
"How long are you gonna stay in that disturbing position?" Index ordered.
"What are you talking abo-?" Summer immediately looked down to find that she was on top of Touma in an awkward position. His face was buried into the pretty cure's crotch area. When she finally gathers her thoughts together in her head, Summer's cheeks turn red.
"Ahh!" Summer comically shuffled back until her back hit the wall. "S-Sorry, Touma!"
"Even in an urgent situation, you end up adding more girls into your harem,"
The Straw Hat Pirates were startled to find a certain blond on the ship. While Robin came out of the kitchen.
"Hey, Robin, who's that guy?" Luffy asked.
"He's an interesting person I found snooping on the ship," Robin answered.
Right after the hotel exploded, Nico Robin went into the forest where their ship, the Going Merry, was docked. She used stealth and her surroundings to hide herself from a group of androids tourists scouting the area.
"So they're robots," Robin said calmly.
She continued until she noticed androids all froze into place before collapse. Then sudden glowing pillars of light appeared all over the forest, blinding her. She wasn't scared of the androids or the pillars of lights since it didn't last long, but she did wonder what was going on with her crewmates. Hopefully that they would return to the ship.
Once Robin got to Going Merry, she noticed the ladder hanging down on the side of the ship. "Strange, I thought I pulled the ladder up.''
Feeling cautious, she crossed her arms and closed her eyes. "Ojos Fleur!"
On the ship, her eye appeared on the side of the pole as she noticed a certain blond guy, wearing sunglasses sitting on her white lounge chair. He didn't notice the eyes staring at him as it disappeared.
"Man, I wonder what Kamiya's doing right now," Tsuchimikado asked himself, as he placed his drink on the table and leaned back in the chair. "If Aogami were here, he would've murdered him if he saw how many girls he'll be added to his harem."
Tsuchimikado took a deep breath and was about to take a quick nap until he felt something covering his mouth. Alarmed Tsuchimikado was about to grab the hand, but he felt his arms bound behind his back.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" Tsuchimikado turned to find Robin in front of him with her hands crossed. "You aren't supposed to be here young man."
'What kind of ability does she have?' Tsuchimikado asked himself, knowing that she's responsible for bounding him.
"I'm honestly impressed how you got on our ship," Robin said with a gentle yet dangerous looking smile. "The only way on it is if one person pulled down the ladder or if our Captain used his ability."
Tsuchimikado glared at the woman while Robin just giggled. "My, you look rather cute when you glare like that."
Hearing this caused a smirk to appear on his face. Despite being in a situation that might lead to his death, there is one bit of happiness inside this boy's mind. 'Ha! take that Kamiya! This is just the start of my Harem!'
"Mainly, I did interrogate him, but he proved to me that he's not responsible for the attack," Robin concluded.
"Really?" Usopp glared at Tsuchimikado. "Well, I hope you didn't damage anything or else you'll have to answer to the great captain Usopp!"
"I'll keep that in mind," Tsuchimikado grinned.
"GAH!" Juvia screamed when she found her beloved, naked prince, on top of Chris again. "T-This can't be...My beloved Gray...has…"
Juvia's mind
(Shows Chris lying on a red bed, facing Gray who was on top of her, naked.)
Chris: Please don't be too rough, this is my first time.
Gray: Don't worry, my sweet cheeks. I'll be gentle. (He slowly starts unbuttoning her shirt)
"GAH! GRAY-SAMA!" Juvia screeched as she started banging her head on the ship's mast. Usopp trying to calm her down before she dents the mast.
"What's wrong with her?" Papaya asked.
"She's having her Love Rival meltdowns," Lucy answered sweatdropped.
"Damn what's with all the-" Gray blinked as he realized what position he was in. 'Oh, crap~!'
Chris immediately woke up from Juvia's antics, and came face to face with Gray's bare abs, with the Fairy Tail mark on it. It took her a while to get to her senses as her cheek turned red.
"YOU SICK PERVERTED BASTARD~!" Chris roared delivering a massive uppercut to the ice mage, sending him comically flying off the ship and into the ocean.
"Pervert overboard~!" Happy chuckled.
"I-I didn't know Chris could punch like that~!" Kirika blurted out startled.
"Don't worry I'll rescue him!" Without thinking Chopper jumped into the ocean.
"Oi Chopper!" Zoro dived down after him.
"Ha...ha…ha! Gray looks pathetic...Urk!" Natsu mocked, but his face swelled up like he was about to vomit.
"That's the pot calling the kettle black," Misaka sweatdropped as she watched Natsu, Gajeel and Cynthia leaning over the edge.
"You don't understand what kind of pain we're dealing with!" Cynthia defended weakly.
"OI!" Accelerator called out to the group from the back of the ship with Last Order clinging onto his pants. "If you're all done acting like we've won this, then you might want to see this."
Everyone minus Gray, Zoro, Chopper, Jackal, and Touma, joined Accelerator at the back and noticed the black hole was engulfing the whole island.
"It's H-Huge!" Lucy yelled. She was worried that the black hole would suck the entire ocean from the way it was growing larger by the second. However, to her and the other's surprise, the black hole quickly contrasts back into its original state, annihilating the island resort before their eyes.
"W-what the hell just happened?" Cure Flamingo asked, breaking the silence.
"The whole island...gone…" Misaka was also at a loss for words.
"How the hell is this possible!?" Nami shouted. "How could the island just…"
As they stared at the empty area where the island stood, everyone was silent. There wasn't a single boat on the water beside the Going Merry, which floated away from the area. While everyone was focused on what had just happened, Shirabe was more concerned about the whereabouts of the boy.
'No...don't tell me he's...'
