Chapter 29: Demon's Revenge Part 2

At the top of the cliff.

Zeref saw the reactions from the undead Tartaros demons. "I take that another demon has lost, right?"

Saki turned to her creator. "Y-yes, lord Zeref. First Lamy and now Rachena's curse power is no more."

Fang gritted his teeth. "We're wasting time here, let's fight Fairy Tail now!"

"Not yet," Saki spoke again. "Those pests are still fighting, once they're worn out, we'll make our move." She suddenly felt a threatening sensation from behind her.

Esdeath was glaring at the thunder demon. "If you plan to kill other Fairy Tail wizards that's fine with me, but, I want to go after two Fairy Tail wizards."

Poison Ivy had a good idea of what she was referring to. "If one of these wizards is Gray, then, that's fine with us."

Saki reluctantly agreed. "Agreed, but, we still have a score to settle with you too, so, don't get killed." Esdeath chuckled lightly taking the challenge. "Very well."

Bloodman was observing the battle. "These guys will fill the battlefield with blood and corpses."

Erza, Juvia, and Gray facing against Goliath and Shino.

"Ice-Make: Bazooka!" Gray fired an ice cannon at Shino.

"Creation Curse: Slim Wall!"

Gray smirked. "I knew she was going to do that..." He quickly used the shave technique and vanished. He then reappeared behind Shino. "Ice-Make Sword!" He took swung with his ice-like sword but the moment he swung where the demon was, she was gone.

"What the hell?" Gray asked confusingly.

Shino reappeared behind the ice mage with a darkened expression on her face. "Did you think I'd fall for that trick?" She was holding a red trident and tried to impale it in the ice wizard's back.

Gray quickly turned using his ice sword to block the trident. "That was close." He thought. "It seems my Observation Haki saved me at the right moment."

Erza stared at the demon gargoyle. "It seems he's just as formidable as when Dr. Stylish was in control." She thought. "Damn, I've used so much of my magic, I need to end this quickly."

Juvia saw the red-haired woman's condition. "Erza, are you alright?"

Erza glanced at her guildmate. "Y-yeah, I'm fine, just a little nippy." Regardless, Juvia knew that she and others were using their magic to fight off the demons and even if they managed to defeat them all they'd still have to deal with Alvarez's army.

Goliath noticed the somewhat weakened state that the scarlet warrior was showing. "Gee, feeling a little out of gas."

Erza's face went red at that question and the gargoyle just laughed at the woman's reaction. "Stupid human, I don't mean that gas that comes within your body, I mean your injuries and exhaustion are starting to catch up to you and making you look winded."

Erza hated to admit it, but, due to the injuries she got from Neinhart and despite that Leone helped loosen her muscles, she still pushed herself too hard. "Even so, my weak state is nothing, I dealt with worse injuries than this." She glared at the demon. "Right now, I need to finish you off quickly...Requip!"

Erza's body began to glow in a bright shining light. "Black Wing Armor!" She wore black armor with two wings and held a single sword with an intricate design with a multicolored purple and silver blade accompanied by two red diamond-shaped gems, equally spread apart on the sword's blade. She then flew toward the demon gargoyle.

"Two can play that game!" Goliath declared as his left arm gathered stone in his hand and took the shape of a big large mace with spikes. "Stone Curse: Spiky Club!"

They both swung their weapons at each other and both collided their weapons creating a strong energy force that blew wind around the area.

"Is that all you got?" Goliath mocked amusingly.

"Not at all!" Erza removed her right hand from her sword's handle and summoned an ax. Goliath saw this and pulled away just as the ax neared his torso.

Erza flew back and landed. "Almost got him."

Goliath smirked. "Looks your reflexes are getting a little rusty...such a" Suddenly he felt a slight pain in his chest and placed his right hand on his chest.

Erza saw her enemy in pain. "You were saying?" She asked almost in a teasing tone.

Goliath chuckled lightly despite the pain. "Well, looks like you're stronger than my kind mentioned." He began to stretch out his arms. "This means I can't hold back this time." Dark energy began to emit from the demon's body and a purple glow began to shine from his eyes. He began to enlarge as his legs began to merge with the ground. "Stone Curse: Stone Lancer!"

Erza wasn't phased at the changing form and just smiled slightly. "Agreed! Requip" She began to requip into another armor. "Piercing Armor!"

She wore a set of armor consisting of a breastplate, waist guard, gauntlets, and leg plates, which were all predominantly silver and olive green. She was wielding a large silver jousting lance that featured well-decorated designs over its vamplate. The pole is also of a decent length, which is almost as long as the lance itself, and features a heavy-set pommel. "Let's do this!" Quickly she pointed her own lancer and charged toward the demon. Goliath jumped into the air and gliding through the air until he started to spiral around with his lancer pointing downward.

Erza quickly reacted and jumped into the air in nick of time as she and the demon gargoyle swiftly past each other before landing on the ground. One minute passes until Goliath felt a sharp pain on his side seeing a slight gash. Erza felt her side has taking damage.

"Looks like we're even." Erza commented despite her side feeling hurt.

Goliath couldn't help but chuckle at the woman's comment as he tossed his lancer away and replaced it with a large hammer. "Perhaps, but, don't forget that you were already battling the previous day, even if you got some rest, you'll still reach your limit sooner." Even if that was to the truth, Erza wasn't going to give up. "That maybe true, but, I won't give up.

Gray put his hand in his other hand's palm. "Ice-Make-" Mulitple ice lancer appeared from his head that went straight at Shino. "Lance!"

Shino created another trident and slash the ice lancers down. "You'll have to do better than that!" Juvia then appeared out of nowhere and put out her right hand. "Water Ray!" A ray of water was released from her hand which send Shino flying away.

Shino then flipped over and landed on the ground. "Not bad, you came at me at close-range knowing I wouldn't be able to counter in time." She brushed off the water off her clothes. "Though, it'll take more than to defeat me."

Juvia narrowed her eyes while Gray stood by her. "Don't worry, Juvia, we'll take her down."

Natsu continued his fight against Jackal.

Jackal was standing tall despite his injuries. "Pant...pant...if that's all you got, then you're just as pathetic as you were last time we fought."

Natsu grinned. "Yeah, well, I ain't no pushover like I was last time, and yet I still kicked your butt and I'm going to do it again!" His body was soon covered in intense flames. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu released a large quantity of flames from his mouth.

Jackal smirked. "Predictable." He swung both of his arms creating a powerful wall of explosions.

The flaming roar was seemingly blocked by the wall of explosions, Natsu wasn't giving up as he continued his breath attack which began to blow even faster and stronger.

The breath attack was able to break through the wall of explosions. "Alright, Natsu!" Happy cheered.

The cheering was broken after Natsu realized the demon jackal wasn't where he was just now. "Where'd that jerk go?"

"Right here..." Out of nowhere Jackal was somehow behind Natsu and tackled him hard knocking him down hard to the ground.

"Natsu!" Happy yelled.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure quickly appeared behind Happy and was snatched. "Natsu!"

Natsu quickly lifted himself from the ground and saw that his friend had been captured by the demon Aquaius. "Looks like I got the catch of my day." She spoke in a darkened tone.

"Happy!" He yelled as he began to run to rescue his friend.

"Shouldn't have turned your back..." Jackal gathered energy in his hands and tossed several bomb-like spears at Natsu which exploded on his back dealing massive damage.

"Natsu!" Happy yelled struggling to get free from the demon siren's grip. "Let me go!"

Natsu fell on his stomach in pain as severe burns were on his back. "Argh...argh..." He groaned in pain struggling to get him. "Damn..."

Jackal cackled manically. "Looks like the fight is mine fireball."

Aquaius cupped her left hand's fingers under Happy's chin tightly. "Look at this kitty, your friend is about to fall to the demons of the famous fire dragon slayer Natsu Dragneel...or should I say-"

"Shut up!" Happy barked loudly. "Natsu isn't a demon, he's a human being!"

Jackal scoffed. "Geez, stop with your bambling, it's just as annoying as Lamy." He then approached the pinkette boy. "To think this human is supposed to be our master E.N.D."

Happy growled. "Natsu isn't..." He stopped as he remembered Zeref's words again. "You're a demon from the Book of Zeref...once I die, you'll die too..." The blue Exceed wasn't able to speak any further.

"What's the matter furball, can't trash talk me anymore?" Jackal cruelly mocked. "Anyway, I'll enjoy torturing your friend and once he dies, you're next."

"I ain't going to let that happen..." Jackal looked down as Natsu lifted his head with a fierce look in his eyes. "I don't give a damn about what Zeref told me, I'm Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail and nobody is going to tell me otherwise!"

Suddenly a figure was soaring through the sky with incredible speed and threw a potion bottle right in Aquaius' face which broke the moment it made contact, the demon siren barely felt the impact though she slightly loosened her grip, and once Happy felt that, he quickly flew out of harms way.

The Blue Exceed glanced and saw a lightning bolt appear above Aquaius. "Potion Magic: Lighting Bolt!"

A lighting bolt appeared out of the shattered bottle and struck Aquaius with strong intense electricity.

Natsu was stunned by what just happened. "What the hell was that?" He felt a strange magic power. "What kind of magic was that...wait..." He felt a familiar power one that was similar to the one of the Grimore Hearts.

He turned to see a figure flying toward him. "Natsu!" Fujika was flying in the air. "Fujika, when did you get here, and how the hell are you flying-" He abruptly stopped as he saw Fujika's dragon wings and tail.

Fujiko giggled. "What you're seeing is one of my magic powers. The first one is my Potion Magic and as you know, I make different kinds of potions for healing and medicine. Later, I came with potions that'll be used for fighting like the one you just saw, though, my Potion Magic is only a backup."

Natsu understood a little but one thing still puzzled him. "Okay, but, what about your wings and tail."

Fujika was happy to explain that. "This second magic power of mine is Arc of Creation, I believe one of the Grimoire Heart wizards used a magic power that used magic that was based on imaginary things that could become real. To it simply, I created my style that gives me the power of animals and creatures like dragons for example, all I have to do is create my forms with my mind carefully and once it becomes complete, I can gain that appearance like what you see now."

Natsu laughed in amazement. "I don't know what you said, but it's awesome!"

Happy shrugged not surprised by Natsu's response. "That's Natsu for ya."

Natsu then smiled brightly at the former Amazon. "Anyway, thank you for saving Happy."

Fujika blushed slightly as she turned away slightly but soon she sensed incoming danger. "Look out" Natsu quickly turned and then caught an enemy's wrist which belonged to Jackal, who was attempting to place his hand on Natsu to blow him up.

"Heh...heh..." Natsu chuckled with a darkened look. "I'll make you pay for trying to hurt my friends back at Hargeon!" Flames soon covered Natsu's body and also burnt Jackal's wrist. "Damn it..." He struggled to remove his hand from the fire dragon slayer's hand.

"If you continue to hold my wrist, you'll be blown away again!" Jackal reminded with a hint of panic in his voice knowing he would meet his fate maybe.

"I'll shall make this human pay!" Aquaius summoned out walls made of water between her and she placed both her hands in the water. "Aqua Mermaid Heart!" She gathered the water and took the shape of an evil mermaids with shark-like teeth and glowing red eyes.

"Die!" The water-shaped mermaids were sent directly to Natsu.

"Natsu look out!" Happy and Fujika yelled with worried expressions.

Natsu's flames continued to intensify and get hotter by the minute. "I will not die here!" He roared with sheer determination as electric surges were sparking over his flames. "Lightning Fire Dragon's Mode!"

Jackal felt the intensity of the flames, which was what he felt the first time he and Natsu fought. "Damn it..." He cursed feeling the heat getting hotter and hotter.

Natsu then threw the demon jackal roughly in Aquaius' direction which he went flying through some of the water-like mermaids.

Fujika summoned a magic potion and threw it in Natsu's direction. "Natsu, drink this, it'll give you a power boost for 3 minutes!"

Natsu caught the potion bottle and drank it. "Gulp...gulp...gulp." After drinking the last drop, he felt his magic feel more stronger. "Now Natsu, give them hell!"

Natsu smirked. "I'm on it!" He gathered magic into his hands as the flames and electric sparks started to intensify even more. "Lightning Fire Dragon's: Salamander Dragon Heads!" He thrust his hands forward and the dragon-like heads went toward the two demons.

Aquaius and Jackal looked at their enemy and saw something appearing on the left side of Natsu's face which looked like scales. "So, it's true..."

"He's really..."

They couldn't get another word in as Natsu's attack soon swallowed them burning and electrocuting them at the same time creating a powerful explosion.

B

Saki, Fang, Leon, Poison Ivy, and Snapjaw turned in the direction where they felt the faint curse power disappear.

"Jackal..."

"Aquaius..."

"Their Curse power is no power..."

"So, master Jackal has fallen again..."

"Our deary departed Aquaius has perished..."

Zeref glanced at his demons seeing their reactions. "Looks like more demons have met their end. What a shame that is."

Mard Geer's eyes were hidden by his hair. "It seems Aquaius and Jackal have been defeated..."

Syka gritted her teeth. "Damn those Fairy Tail bastards..."

Goliath grunted lightly. "Hmph...Jackal and Aquaius are no more."

Shino bit her lower lip in anger. "They're gone...damn it..." Erza narrowed her eyes in confusion. "What is they whispering about?"

Gray was wondering the same thing. "This sounds familiar."

Juvia had similar thoughts. "After that explosion, no doubt, that our friends took down more demons."

Slither hissed in anger. "Damn it...Jackal and Aquaius are gone." Pango and Tigress saw the strange behavior. "What is he talking about?"

"Seems like he's mumbling to himself and it mustn't be good at least for him."

Goliath let out a thunderous roar while the ground shook violently. "AAARRGGHHH!" His eyes glowed red with anger and rage. "It's time to end this!" He began to grow into a giant size Goliath as his skin became solid rock. "Etherious Form: Giant Stone Mode!"

Shino gritted her teeth. "ARGH!" A strong dark force blew from her body as the bottom of her hair blew along. Her skin became as dark as the night. Her face became demonic and look of insanity, her eyes glowed dark red and her nose was crooked with small fangs and sharp claws. Her feet were exposed and each of her toes had sharp nails. "Etherious Form: Scientist Diva!"

Slither wasn't going to hold back any longer. "It's time for you Fairy Tail bastards to pay!" His body began to change. His skin changed into metallic-looking scales and a mask-like feature with a horizontal line from one side of the mask to the other. "Etherious Form Complete!" He spoke in a metallic voice.

Pango could sense a strong power coming from the demon. "Uh oh...looks like the demon just got stronger."

Tigress narrowed her eyes in slight concern. "Yes, not only that, his body is covered in metallic scales, but either way, we can't let our fear overcome us." She pumped up her arms. "Time for my Earth Magic."

She slammed her fist into the ground. "Earth Magic: Fissure Fist!" A fissure-like crack appeared and went straight toward the demon-like lizard.

Just then venom pillar shot out of the ground thus stopping Tigress' magic attack. "Where'd that venom come from?"

As soon as the venom pillar vaporized into a puddle of venominess liquid. "Looks like Fairy Tail's new friends decided to stand in our way."

Syka appeared. "About time I stepped."

Slither didn't buy it. "What do you mean 'about time?' you were with us when we arrived!"

Syka just shrugged. "The others could handle themselves and I was looking for some worthy foes." She hissed as venom dripped from her lips. "I think these guys will be the main course...YOU TALKING BEASTS ARE FRIENDS WITH FAIRY TAIL AND ANYONE IS FRIENDS WITH THEM IS MY ENEMY!" As she declared that she began to change into her true demon form. "Etherious Form! Demon Scorpion!"

Tigress saw the situation get even worse. "Damn it. Now we have another demon that can transform into something else. If we're not careful we could die."

She heard a soft chuckle from Pango. "What's so funny?" She saw a huge grin on the panda bear mink's face. "C'mon Tigress, we can't let these jerks scare us, we met a lot of scary monsters but we didn't run away." Pango did a thumbs-up pose. "That, if Natsu were here, he wouldn't be scared so easily."

Tigress sighed but couldn't deny Pango's words as a small chuckle. "I suppose you're right." She had a serious look on her face. "Besides, Usagi is also counting on us to assist our new family and we can't let him down."

Pango was glad to hear that and looked back at the two demons. "Good, let's finish this jerk!" He and Tigress charged toward Slither.


Lamy, Rachena, Jackal, and Aquaius have fallen in battle. Goliath, Shino, and Syka remain left besides Mard Geer and Kay(Who haven't arrived yet, but, they'll appear, haven't decided what chapter though, but I will). Those that wonder where Kay and Mard Geer are, can't say for now. They'll show up but not in the battle, not yet anyway.

End of chapter.
