Absolution of She-Devil and Heavenly Hoteye
"So, we're really going at it." Shin said to Jellal.
"Yes, we must take the moment you have given us to strike while the enemies are confused from the sudden attack." Jellal nodded before turning to his comrades.
"Alright everyone, you all know your roles, what battles you must face, go give them your all and bring honor to the Earlshide Kingdom!" Jellal said, getting everyone to roar in cheer.
"Oh man, our first battle in a war. I'm getting really nervous…" Romeo gulped, clutching his fist hardened from the thought of going into battle for the first time that could very well be his last.
But the shaking soon stops when Sherria took his hand into hers calming it down though this does surprise him a little.
"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine. As long as we stick together and fight with our hearts out then I know we can win this battle!" Sherria believed strongly.
"(Sherria!)" Romeo thought was surprised to suddenly feel full of courage and confidence from just seeing that lovely face of hers and hearing those brave words.
"Alright! I'm going to do my very best!" Romeo shouted with determination.
"Wow, looks like someone is getting hype for the battle ahead." Tony commented.
"Erza, stay close to your group and don't let any enemy get through our line for it's the fate of our kingdom if they get through." Irene said to Erza as she gets herself ready with her fellow knight students.
"Yes, me and the knights will lay down our selves to protect the kingdom." Erza promised.
"You better not die out there." Shin said.
"Same to you." August nodded and they grab each other's hands in a tight grip for a second or two.
"Shin, please be careful." Sizilien said with worry and pleading eyes.
"Don't worry, this is Shin we're talking about. No fucking way he's going down." Maria believed strongly but couldn't stop feeling worried on the inside.
"Wanting to see you girls again gives me another reason to give this my all." Shin said, feeling that he doesn't want to worry his girlfriends in this battle.
However, Shin fully knows that people may get seriously hurt in a war and most likely get killed which is a scary thought to most though knew the risk as they would put their very life on the line to protect the people they care for and home they love as well.
Shin is going to get through this with everyone here and prepare to do what it takes in this war to win for the future of this kingdom.
And so, everyone moves out spreading across the battlefield to get ready for what's to come against the Blusfia army along with their own strong mages.
The scene shows Dimaria Yesta running through the fight of soldiers knocking each one away with her amazing speed and strength using only one strike or two on the Blusfia soldiers, and she is soon accompanying by Prince August who popped out a shadow and knocked away five knights.
"I see you've gotten better with your Shadow Devil Slayer magic, your highness." Dimaria complimented.
"Thank you, and I may I say, it feels great to fight by your side." August smiled.
"But I'm surprised that Brandish isn't with you right now. If memory serves me right, you two are always together most of the time." August recalled.
Then August looks over to his left to see more Blusfia knights and unleash a shadow wave to send them flying.
"It was weird, we were together but the next thing we knew, Brandish suddenly disappeared from the spot leaving me along out here." Dimaria explained.
"My best guess is that someone used magic to teleport her away and somewhere else on the battlefield." Dimaria guessed while slashing away twelve more Blusfia knights with her sword.
"I see, they must've heard about how well the two of you work together when going on missions and wanted to try taking out at least one of you." August believed that is what the enemy is trying to do.
"Well, they're going to have a hard time getting my face into the ground if they can't touch me." Dimaria smirked.
But something strange happens while Dimaria has defeated three more knights, the ground suddenly becomes soft upon contact with her foot and began sinking into it much to her confusion and now more of the ground around more is getting liquefying to sink her in even more.
"Shit, what the fuck is going on?" Dimaria tried to get out.
"Hang on, I'm coming!" August rushed to save her.
August sinks into the shadow moving fast and arrive just in time when her head was about to sink, he grabs her and pulls her body into the shadow moving away from the sinking ground spot and pop out with Dimaria.
"Thank you, Prince August. I'm not even sure if I could pull myself out with my magic." Dimaria thanked.
"Oh my, it would seem the very prince of our enemy is here out on the battlefield. Most unexpected, and yet exciting at the same time. Oh yeah!" A man commented.
"August von Earlshide, crown prince. It's an honor to meet you though under this tense circumstances." A young woman greeted politely.
August and Dimaria look over to see the two new faces have come their way even though they don't look like the other knights, they already know these two are from the Blusfia kingdom because of what they were told about from Princess Levy earlier.
"You two are members of the Blue Heart Trio." August said.
"That's right, I'm please that you know of us. My name is Mirajane Struss, the She-Devil." Mirajane introduced herself to them.
Mirajane is a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; her hairstyle's most distinctive trait is a short, upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair covering her forehead. She has large blue eyes and a curvy, voluptuous body, with large breasts. She wears a black dress that leaves her shoulders exposed, little white decorations, and a black ribbon tied around her neck. Breasts size: H-cup.
"Richard Buchanan's the name and being full of love is my game. Oh yeah! I also go by Hoteye that will find out very soon. Oh yeah!" Richard smiled.
Richard is a large and imposing man whose appearance is peculiar in the fact that he looks both quite feminine and, most curiously, has a body consisting of geometrical forms with sharp angles, not possessing rounded parts. He has long, wavy and thick flowing orange hair reaching down below his shoulders, bright blue eyes with long eyelashes, a prominent, flat nose and full, red feminine lips. His large forehead tops his eyes directly, due to the seeming lack of eyebrows. His massive torso and arms look even more massive if compared to his head, relatively small in comparison, and to his thin legs. He wears a loose black shirt, with light sleeves adorned by a series of dark merged rhombuses, a large, white collar closed on the front going down to cover his shoulders and a sash tied around his waist, visible under it, and simple light pants tucked inside light boots, with the parts circling his calves being reminiscent of leg warmers. Circling Richard's neck is a large necklace made of brown beads, which has a pendant hanging from it, this taking the shape of an eye flanked by two small, wing-like protrusions.
"(Damn, I knew we would be running into one of the three strongest mages of the Blusfia kingdom in this battle, but I didn't think we'd be facing two of them here.)" August thought cursed their luck.
"To be honest, I was supposed to go out on a camping trip with my younger siblings. It's something we do every year, started when our parents were still around and kept up the tradition since then. Except for this year…" Mirajane sighed.
"It happened when the king called me in, I had no choice but to answer his call since I'm one of his mages." Mirajane said though with sadness in that smile.
"Do not worry, Mirajane. Hold the love for your family and beat the enemies so that we can all go home, and you might be able to catch up to your younger siblings the quicker we end this. Oh yeah!" Richard encouraged Mirajane to fight.
August can definitely tell that this girl is telling the truth about her siblings and this camping trip they do together, and it sounds like she didn't want to come here in the first place either.
"Thank you for the kind words, Richard. I'll definitely do my best or else the king will have our heads." Mirajane patted her cheeks and get ready to fight.
(Music: Angel of Darkness, Alex C. Feat Yasmina K.)
"So, please forgive me for your death!" Mirajane charged at the two mages of the enemy kingdom.
"Shit!" August charged in as well despite Dimaria's protest for him to stay back.
Both August and Mirajane threw their punch at each other into a collusion of fists causing a burst of shockwave, but the clash wouldn't last long as August is being push back by Mirajane who is grinning and then send August flying then goes after him.
"(She's strong, really strong. And she's not even using her magic!)" August thought was shocked.
August quickly goes into the shadow just when Mirajane was about to punch him in the stomach and into the ground.
"Huh? Did he just… turn dark and go into the shadow?" Mirajane asked in surprise.
Behind her, August came out from the shadow while at the same time unleashes one of his attacks at her from behind.
"Shadow Devil's Spear Geyser!" August attacked with a sharp spear made of shadow to attack.
Mirajane reacted on instinct that her body moved out of the way for the shadowy spear to not pierce through her body, but it did manage to leave a cut on the back of her right shoulder.
"Oh no, Mirajane!" Richard gasped that his friend just got hurt.
"Pay attention to who you're fighting, tubby!" Dimaria said as she punched him in the side of his face.
Richard is sent flying to crash slide into the ground, but his eyes glow and the ground started to become liquid for him to have a softer landing and sinking inside the ground, vanishing without a trace.
"What the… So, that sinking thing was his magic." Dimaria figured out.
"That is correct!" Richard shouted as he pops out of the ground.
Richard's eyes glow again, and the ground started to move around like crazy in liquid form around Dimaria lifting her up and capturing her at the top, she struggles to break free from this as the liquid ground is charging her toward the ground head-first at an alarming speed.
"Oh, for fucking—" Dimaria was cut off when Richard's attack came down at the ground causing a big dust cloud explosion from the impact.
"That was from the strength of my own love. Oh yeah!" Richard smiled.
"Still, I hate how we have to spill blood on lives when we could've been allies instead." Richard said, looking sad.
"Maybe you should've thought of that more before coming here." Dimaria said.
"Huh?" Richard was shocked to hear that familiar voice, and got punch in the back being making him stumble forward several feet.
"No, it wouldn't be…!" Richard gasped.
He turns around and his eyes widen with shock to see the female enemy standing right before him and not a single scratch on her body, and somehow over here than at the spot where she is supposed from her attack slammed her down.
"But… how are you okay?" Richard asked in confusion.
"Sorry, but I don't have the "Time" to tell my enemies anything when I'm about to win." Dimaria smirked.
"(She might be overconfidence, but my guts are telling me that she is quite the powerful mage to become one of the five powerful guardians of her kingdom.)" Richard thought knew he has to be careful with this one.
"Liquid Ground: Nine-Tail Hunt!" Richard made the ground form up into nine wiggling things and latch them at Dimaria.
"You're gonna have to do better than that!" Dimaria said before running toward the attack.
Dimaria dodges the first two strikes and jumps over third running on top of it, she slices three more into pieces with her sword and smack away two more then use the last one to jump going for the caster of the Earth magic.
"Not so fast." Richard moved away to let her fall into the quicksand he just made using his magic.
"Like I'm gonna fucking fall for that." Dimaria said.
Dimaria twists her body to move herself in midair away from the quicksand spot and lands a few feet away from it, but Richard wouldn't give up that easily as he causes the ground beneath her to move around to form a round sphere to trap her inside and becomes harden like any stone.
"No, I must be sure. I shall use my Eye Magic to see for myself." Richard said.
"Heaven's Eye!" Richard activated the magic in his eyes, giving him the view right through the stone sphere, and saw that Dimaria is standing right behind it.
"You cannot escape from my sight!" Richard said as he commands the ground to strike at Dimaria who jumps out of the way in time and high into the air.
"Yep, magic eyes that can see long distances and see through things too. Just like how she told us." Dimaria smirked.
"Hmm, you were told about me?" Richard was surprised to hear that.
Meanwhile, back with the fight of August vs Mirajane.
August is really giving this fight his hardest with how strong Mirajane is though he starts to slowly gain the upper hand once increases his magic power and land some attacks on her.
"Shadow Devil's Hunting Claws!" August attacked her with a barrage of slashing shadow attacks of his fingers coated in shadow shape into long sharp claws.
Mirajane does her best to withstand the attack while trying to search for an opening, then she deflects one attack to got for a kick in the stomach only to faze through the prince and vanish.
"You fell for it." August appeared in front of her and very close.
"Shadow Devil's Black Uppercut!" August threw a shadowy uppercut that dealt some damage onto Mirajane sending her back.
"This magic power, it's nothing like I've ever seen. Don't tell, is that Lost Magic?" Mirajane gasped in realization.
"That's right, I'm a Shadow Devil Slayer. You could say it's like Dragon Slayer from the old stories." August grinned.
"Dragon Slayer Magic? I can't believe this is real, just like with Orga." Mirajane said.
"But no matter, I have to win this battle for my kingdom. So, I must unleash my magic power." Mirajane was determined to win.
"Take Over: Satan Soul!" Mirajane shouted, unleashing her magic and changing her appearance completely.
"So, this is the power of Satan Soul that Levy told us about." August whispered to himself, seeing Mirajane as completely different now.
Mira in her Satan Soul form has darker, and its eyelashes are larger, with a dark, thin marking in a light zigzag-style crossing the right eye vertically; similar markings are present above her right breast and on both of her bare thighs. Her hair is wilder, jutting upwards and getting curlier, with the front ponytail growing longer, and her ears enlarging, extending backwards, and gaining pointed edges, bearing resemblance to those of elves. The form also has sharp canine teeth, and the lips become covered in dark lipstick. The forearms and hands receive noticeable changes, becoming covered in scales and each sprouting a fin-like protrusion on its outer side. The form also grows a large, stocky tail seemingly made of metal plates or scales, getting smaller and smaller near its end. The clothing is a dark, skimpy one-piece suit, which reveals her arms and legs and is open on the front and the back, exposing most of her belly and wide cleavage. Such clothing has golden-colored edges taking on spiky shapes, and her similarly spiky collar is tied around the neck by a cravat tie. Her shoulders are tied in thin belts protruding from her one-piece suit, and her feet are covered by matching, high-heeled thigh-high boots, which are decorated by lighter motifs on her upper parts, taking on the shapes of jagged blades pointing downwards on the front of her legs, and on the lower parts, in correspondence to her ankles and feet. She also dons a pair of gauntlets covering the back parts of her transformed arms.
"I hope you're ready for Hell because that's exactly what I'm going to give you!" Mirajane glared with her voice sounding darker.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The first battle has begun with Prince August and Dimaria facing off against two of the Blusfia Empire strongest mage, Richard with his power of earth and Mirajane who has now revealed her magic to take the form of a She-Devil to put against the Shadow Devil Slayer.
