Storming the Sabretooth with Rage
Erza is seen walking through the street of the city after having her talk with Millianna though that has her concern about her talk with Jellal and the talk she just had with Millianna earlier too.
(Flashback)
"Try not to draw any attention to yourself if you're going there." Erza advised.
"I'll try my best. Goodnight Erza, and Shadow. Please keep Erza safe in case something happens and the others." Jellal said as he puts on his mask.
"You can count on me." Shadow nodded as Jellal disappeared from their sight.
Jellal stops and turns around to see Erza one last time.
(Flashback End)
Erza walked over to a place with a high point of part of the city seeing some nice houses around below her, but her mind is more focus on what is concerning her right now and fear that it could become trouble in the near future.
"(Once again, fate has a sick sense of humor. Jellal's feelings are a mystery to me. Even now, they always have been and telling Shadow that he trusts him with my life, it's almost like he was telling Shadow that I'm a good bride for him.)" Erza thought suddenly blushed from that.
"No, no, no need to think about that. Shadow has Rouge, but I did see him get cozy with Cana and Mirajane back at there." Erza said, but quickly pushes those thoughts away.
"What I'm more worried about is Millianna." Erza remembered the words that cat woman said to her about Jellal.
"I have never stopped hating Jellal."
"And what's worse, there's Kagura." Erza said, remembering what Millianna told her about what Kagura plans to do with her sword.
"She'll draw her sword to kill Jellal."
"It may not be long before she draws it." Erza worried, fearing that Kagura ends up crossing paths with Jellal soon within the days of the Grand Magic Games.
This is going to be very difficult for Erza when that moment comes and she fears that she may not be able to stop Kagura from unleashing her hate upon Jellal, but she has to at least try in order to protect her dear friend and hopefully save a potential new friend from the hate in her heart.
"Hey, Erza. What's up? Something the matter?" Gray asked, walking up to her a little.
"Hello, Gray. I'm fine. Don't worry." Erza proclaimed as she looks towards the horizon again.
"So, what brings you out here all alone?" Erza asked.
"After dealing with Juvia and Lyon's nonsense all night, I figured I could use a little fresh air to clear my head." Gray explained, having to deal with Lyon and Juvia talking about some love stuff which was making him uncomfortable.
"You think it's "nonsense" huh? Come on. I mean, I wasn't even there, and I bet I could tell you exactly what they wanted to talk with you about." Erza stated, making Gray flinch and sweat a little.
"You know how she feels about you. It's not like she hides it." Erza pointed out Juvia's big love for Gray who blushes a bit.
"She deserves a straight answer. But then again, it's none of my business. Trust me, I'm I no position to lecture others on the matter of the hearts." Erza said, feeling like she doesn't do well with romantic feelings herself.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Gray asked again, wondering what got Erza to talk like that.
"Yes." Erza said.
"To be honest, I don't think I'm the right guy for Juvia to love. Not that there's anything wrong with her, but I just don't see her like that. But maybe I do know one guy who could gladly accepts her." Gray looked up at the slightly full moon.
"Oh, and who would that be." Erza asked curiously.
"Shadow." Gray answered. This shocks Erza as she didn't expect to hear that Shadow would be the better match for Juvia.
"Okay, well… It's getting late. We should get back to the inn." Erza said, feeling like there is something she needs to talk with Shadow about.
(Dark Room within the Royal Palace)
The scene shows of a dark room with only a single lit candle for one man who is going over some research papers and thinking about two certain wizards he saw during the Grand Magic Games.
"One wizard with ten of the keys, and another with two of them. I couldn't ask for a better situation!" Arcadios smirked a little creepy.
"With all twelve, the Eclipse Gate will work just as I'd imagined! It will be soon, Zeref! Very soon!" Arcadios laughed loudly as his laugh echoes throughout the inner basement of the royal palace.
Whatever this man is planning with the Eclipse Gate, it's not gonna be pretty for anyone within the capital.
(Crocus Gardens)
The big inn where the Sabretooth Guild is staying is looking peaceful as nothing seems to be out of order and no disturbance.
Until an explosion erupted from inside the building from one floor along with another explosion from the floor above.
"What the Hell was that?" Sting asked as the explosion woke him up from his sleep.
"STING?!" A shout was heard from outside his window.
"Lector?" Sting surprised to hear his little buddy and open the window to see Lector flying outside and panicking.
"This is bad! This is really bad!" Lector entered the room.
"Easy Lector, what are you talking about?" Sting asked, just then, Rogue came in with Frosch.
"We got an intruder, Sting." He reported.
"Everything's going boom boom!" Frosch added.
"What? An intruder?" Sting shocked to hear this.
"I can't those two! They would go through all that trouble because of what happened with Yukino!" Lector panicked some more.
"Lector! Calm down, who are these two you keep yelling about?" Sting asked.
"It's Natsu and Shadow?!" Lector revealed the names loudly and panicking.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Sting freaked out while posing the Polnareff pose (A/N: The one he did when he told his friends about his past)
Sting and Rogue quickly ran to where the commotion was coming from the most with their Exceed friends right behind them.
The scene changes to the lobby room of the inn where a bunch of Sabretooth guild members were there ready to take on the intruder, but flaming explosion burst through the door and blew those men away like they were ragdolls.
"Now, we're only going to say this once…" Shadow said.
"Tell us…" Natsu clutched his fist.
"Where is your master!" Shadow and Natsu demanded as they both went in attacking a few more Sabretooth wizards each in one attack.
Sting and Rogue are freaking out by the fact that Natsu and Shadow are here fighting against their own guild, which is probably gonna fucked up their guild, but Sting already got the idea of why they're here from what Lector was telling him back at his room.
"If you have something to day to me… you should say it." Jiemma walked into the scene.
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Shadow glared at the tall old man.
"So, it's "one loses and you're out on the street", huh? Ha! Those are some hardcore rules, pal." Natsu commented angrily.
"You just proven yourself to be the worse human being on the planet, and that's making one man I know look like an innocent child when he was trying to take over the world a bunch of times." Shadow stepped forward two feet.
"And now, I'm going to mess you up so much that you'll be having back problems until your death." Shadow threatened with his dark red aura emitting from his body.
"That's why we're gonna make you swallow up your own damn rule. When you lose to us, you will have to quiet the guild!" Natsu declared with a flaming fist.
Every one of the Sabretooth guild members are shocked to hear that both Shadow and Natsu from the Fairy Tail guild have come here to challenge their master in a fight. Those guys must have a death wish to do that crazy shit.
"They're from Fairy Tail!" Rufus recognized those two.
"(Damn it, why did they have to come here?!)" Sting thought feared things may not go their way.
"You really don't wanna tangle with our master, you runts." Orga warned.
"That guy's gonna get murdered." Lector feared.
"Yeah, I don't wanna watch this." Frosch shook in fear.
But Jiemma isn't faze by the boys' threats because in his eyes, they are just a bunch of idiot brats from a weak guild that holds the stupid idea of love and friendship which is all nonsense to him. Strength and power are everything, the only thing that matters in this world and he is going to teach them this painful lesson.
"Did you truly come here to challenge me? Very foolish." Jiemma mocked.
"Then that makes you the foolish of them all." Shadow mocked back.
"We came here to teach you not to turn your back on people you're supposed to care for. So, you'd better listen." Natsu gritted his teeth.
"(Is he talking about Yukino?)" Rogue thought wondered.
"(Don't they know they're gonna get their guild in trouble if they fight us that is not a magic match?)" Sting thought concerned a little.
"I don't know what you're talking about. But it sounds to me like you think everyone else should behave by your personal moral code." Jiemma said.
"How the Hell do you not know what we're talking about?" Natsu asked angrily.
"It's simple, this old man is too blinded by his own dark pride that he could care less about everyone in this entire guild if they all lost a match. He would just get ride of them like trash, just like how he did Yukino." Shadow stated.
"Yukino?" Rufus surprised to hear the reason that these two from Fairy Tail have come to avenge Yukino's honor.
"Hey Dobengal, deal with these intruders." Jiemma ordered.
"Yes, sir." Dobengal entered the scene in a flash.
Dobengal is a lean young man with medium length spiky hair and is easily distinguished from the other members of his guild by the mask he wears, which obscures the lower half of his face. In the manga, the mask appears to be tied with two long laces, while in the anime, the laces are absent. His dress sense is similar to that of a ninja, consisting of a mostly black attire with mesh armor underneath it. He has Roman numerals tattooed on his fingers, ordered starting from I on his right little finger and X ending on his left little finger.
"What, are you scared?" Natsu asked.
"I don't feel like wasting my time disposing of two insects like you. I am the master of this guild, so if you wish to challenge me, you must prove yourself to be a worthy adversary." Jiemma stated.
"Well, if that's the kind of game you wanna play." Shadow huffed.
"Natsu, you take on the ninja man and make it really hurt. I'll fight the master next." Shadow suggested.
(Music: Black Sheep, Sonata Arctica)
"Alright, but you better make it hurt on him too." Natsu said before charging.
"You're quite the coward for a guild master, hiding behind your flunkies!" Natsu insulted.
"I won't let either of you near our master!" Dobengal jumped and fired his Rainbow Beam at Natsu which he quickly dodges it.
Natsu stares down at Dobengal with anger, not wanting to waste more time on this guy.
"Although I may not be participating in the Grand Magic Games this year…" Dobengal teleported from that one spot and appearing several feet behind Natsu with his Teleportation Magic. "I am just as skilled in battle as those who represent our guild."
Dobengal teleported again into the air.
"Now you will taste the true power of Sabretooth!" Dobengal said as he threw down three smoke bombs around Natsu, surrounding him in smoke.
"You're hiding too?" Natsu felt unimpressed with this guy.
Dobengal threw down kunai knives made of magic at Natsu as he jumps back and the ninja wizard teleports again behind Natsu.
"I suggest you leave at once or face the consequences! Now!" Dobengal demanded with his right hand covered in his Rainbow Magic into a blade to stab through the shoulder.
But Natsu knew he would be coming with his scent of smell, he ducks under the attack with his fist bursting into flames.
"Outta my way! I ain't got business with you, pal!" Natsu backhanded the ninja away to crash at the door and fell to the floor unconscious.
This shocked the other members of the guild that Natsu just defeated Dobengal in one hit.
"He just took out one of the toughest guys in our guild like he was nothin'!" Lector shocked and Frosch looking scared of Natsu.
This angers Jiemma that one of his best was defeated by this stupid boy from a stupid guild like Fairy Tail.
"Nice job." Shadow said, now stepping into the fray.
"Thanks, now you teach that old bastard a lesson." Natsu said.
"I intend to." Shadow glared at Jiemma.
"Interesting, you both have spirit, strong ones unlike those within my guild." Jiemma commented.
Shadow didn't care about what this old bastard was saying with that damn mouth of his, he just wants to give this guy a fucking beating for what he did to Yukino and to put the old man in his place, under his foot.
"But you should know spirit alone isn't gonna cut it." Jiemma stated.
"You'll be surprised of how strong one's spirit can push you." Shadow said, remembering Sonic and the others back in his old world.
Instantly after saying those words, Jiemma suddenly felt something is jammed right into his gut and it was done by Shadow with his fist that has sunk into the stomach and the powerful blow causes the guild master of Sabretooth to cough up blood from his mouth.
"But right now, all you'll be feeling is my rage!" Shadow shouted angrily.
Then he sent Jiemma flying high and toward the large purple decorated structure but never made contact because Shadow blitzes behind him with his superspeed and punched him in the back sending him flying away and then appears behind with a kick to the head sending him down and punched away to the side. Repeating this while preventing Jiemma from touching the floor for a while.
Each strike from Shadow causes great pain to Jiemma that he could feel his bones cracking from those hits and doing them all so fast like this guy is moving faster than the speed of light that his attacks are happening almost at the same time.
Everyone else who is watching this is stun in utter shock to see that their guild master is getting his ass beaten by this guy from a weak guild of all things.
Shadow even went as far as forcing one leg to bend backward painfully and a punch to the face causing his skull to crack.
"Shadow Devil's Downfall Fist!" Shadow threw down his fist covered in darkness with dark red aura around it right into Jiemma's stomach and sending him crashing down to the floor creating a big crater upon impact.
"Shadow Devil's Mountain Crash!" Shadwo launched himself down at Jiemma slamming his feet on his chest and his face at the same time. Causing the tall old man's limbs to fall and unconscious.
(Music End)
"NO FUCKING WAY! HE JUST DEFEATED OUT GUILD MASTER?!" Everyone of Sabretooth shouted in shock.
"Nice one!" Natsu smiled.
"No way… Did that really happen?" Orga asked, suddenly feeling frozen in fear.
"I just gained a new member of Shadow's strength." Rufus said, and his legs are also shaking like crazy.
Rogue and Sting were very shocked to see that this Shadow guy who they heard was a recent new member of Fairy Tail has just defeated their Guild Master like he was nothing to him.
"My, my, I never expected anyone to give my father such a beating like that." A woman's voice said, echoing throughout the room a little.
"Hold on, that voice!" Sting shocked upon hearing that voice.
"Is it you, Lady Minerva?" Rogue asked.
"Minerva?" Shadow wondered if this is another member of Sabretooth.
"It would seem you have now piqued my interest in you more, Shadow." Minerva revealed herself in front of Shadow.
Minerva is a slim young woman of average height distinguished by her Eastern look: her long, straight and black hair, reaching down to her lower back, while mostly left loose, being parted in the middle of her forehead and sporting two bangs framing her face and going down below her shoulders, her hair is also tied into a pair of bun-shaped Dango loops at both sides of her head, and a braid is present some inches below each of such loops. Her facial make up is reminiscent of that worn by a Japanese "Geisha", with her lips being covered in glossy dark lipstick, and her slanted dark eyes, possessing long eyelashes, being topped by a pair of elongated, diagonal dark spots, seemingly acting as or covering her eyebrows. Her pale figure is considerably curvaceous. She wears an Eastern looking, with the woman wearing a strapless dress highly reminiscent of a "Cheongsam". This is shown to possess a large slit in correspondence to Minerva's left leg, exposing her thigh, and comes secured to her body by a number of dark laces on the back and to her right side, exposing a part of her right breast's back side, and by a line of metal fasteners taking the shape of two horizontally-placed triangles with their bases linked together on her front left side. Such garment is dark in its back part where the laces are, and light-colored on the front, where a large decorative motif representing a "Saber-toothed cat" menacingly lurking in the grass is present, in reference to Minerva's guild. Her outfit is completed by a pair of shoulder-length ornamental gloves again bearing dual colors, dark on the arm and hand's lower part and light on the upper one, and dark boots reaching up to her middle calves. Breasts size: HH-cup.
"A pleasure to meet you." Minerva smirked.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Natsu and Shadow certainly showed those punks in Sabretooth what power really is when it comes to feelings and spirits, and Shadow definitely gave Jiemma a fucking beating that he will never forget, but now he is meeting Minerva who just showed up at the end of the fight.
Oh, and I decided that Shadow's magic will be Shadow Devil Slayer magic. That will be explained in the next chapter.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
