CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE: WHITE LEGACY

"Who the hell is he?! My home! He destroyed my home!" Michello shouted.

"Grandpa!" Michelia exclaimed.

"He's Tartaros!" Happy said.

"He's the one who also attacked the current members?!" Carla added.

"He's after you! Let's get away!" Lucy suggested.

"You don't have to tell me that!" Michello said.

"It'll be okay if we just leave this to Natsu-san and Sebastian-san!" Wendy informed.

"Hey!" Natsu shouted.

Jackal starts to move his arms as the wind swept through everyone's hair and clothes. Multiple explosions went off in the town, taking the citizens by surprise.

"What the...?!"

"A sudden explosion!"

"The building exploded! We have to escape!"

"Why?! The town has nothing to do with this!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Bastard!" Natsu seethed.

"You're getting innocent people involved in this?" Sebastian questioned, also seething.

Natsu and Sebastian charged forward at Jackal. "Explode!" Jackal shouted, sending fireballs their way.

"Natsu! Sebastian!" Lucy called out.

"Direct hit!" Michello exclaimed.

"It's okay. Heat and explosive types of Magic don't work on Natsu!" Happy reminded.

"Nor Sebastian." Raden added.

Natsu and Sebastian were both eating the fireballs.

"What are they?! Eating my explosion..."

Natsu sent a flaming punch at Jackal's face while Sebastian sent one to his back, sending Jackal crashing to the ground as the two Dragon Slayers kept attacking Jackal, sending him into the air.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Natsu sent Jackal flying into a wall before Sebastian came in and sent a flaming kick to his stomach.

"Way to go, Natsu!" Happy cheered.

"And Sebastian!" Raden added.

"They're both strong!" Michelia exclaimed.

Michello's legs were trembling. "This is the first time I've seen a Fairy Tail and Black Sun wizard in battle up close, but they're both this powerful?!" He thinks to himself as Jackal skidded on the ground.

"You're amusing!" Jackal claimed. "But there's one thing I should tell you both..."

"Fire Dragon's..."

"Hellfire Dragon's..."

"...Iron Fist!"

"Wait!" Jackal shouted.

Jackal crashed on the ground. "We're not even close to bein' done!" Natsu stated.

"And you killed all of the current Council members? What a joke!" Sebastian added as him and Natsu punched Jackal repeatedly.

"Natsu-san! Sebastian-san!" Michelia said in shock.

"Amazing!" Michello commented.

"Natsu-san, I think that's..." Wendy started to say.

"He goes overboard." Lucy said.

"Sebastian does, too..." Raden sighed.

"And the guy was about to say something." Lucy added.

"Something just hit me. We should've asked where his hideout was." Sebastian told Natsu.

"Oh, that's right." Natsu agreed.

"That and his goal." Carla added.

"Whoops." Sebastian commented.

"If... If they're after Face, then we'll all in trouble! The white legacy that hardly anyone even on the Council knew about... How did they find out about Face?! No, more importantly, I need to go underground..." Michello thought. "I'll let you people take care of them!"

"Huh?" Lucy questioned.

"I... I-I'll see if the other former members are safe!" Michello stated.

"Grandpa?!" Michelia exclaimed.

"Michelia, you come, too! Right now!" Michello instructed.

"Why are you suddenly in a hurry?" Wendy asked.

"Have you remembered something?" Lucy questioned.

"No! No! I don't know anything!" Michello responded.

"If you know anything, tell us, Grandpa." Natsu ordered.

"Something tells me you're keeping something from us." Sebastian added as Michello flinched.

"I don't know anything!" Michello denied.

"Is that true?" Jackal asked as he sat up. "If you share something of worth, I may not kill you."

"Natsu and Sebastian's attacks weren't effective?!" Lucy questioned.

"How tough is he?!" Carla exclaimed.

"I don't know anything! Try somebody else!" Michello denied once again. "Honestly, I don't know anything!"

"Is that right? Then I'll kill you, after all." Jackal grinned.

"Hey! You people! He got up! Hurry up and beat him! Idiot!" Michello ordered.

"This guy..." Natsu spoke in irritation.

"And you two..." Jackal pointed his finger at Natsu and Sebastian. "You should listen when someone wants to tell you something."

"Huh?"

"Natsu! Sebastian! Your hands!" Lucy called out.

Both Natsu and Sebastian's hands and legs began to glow yellow. "What the...?!"

"My curse is the power to turn anything I touch into an explosive." Jackal explained. "How many times did you two touch me?"

"Natsu!" Happy shouted.

"Sebastian!" Raden yelled.

"Stay back!" Natsu instructed.

"Everyone move away from us now!" Sebastian ordered.

"But..."

"Natsu-san! Sebastian-san!"

"Hurry!" Natsu ordered as Lucy, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Raden moved away as both Natsu and Sebastian finally exploded.

"Natsu!" Happy shouted.

"Sebastian!" Raden called out.

"Wendy!" Lucy exclaimed, grabbing onto Wendy.

Jackal laughed hysterically. "Natsu-san! Sebastian-san!" Wendy called out.

"Oh, no..." Lucy muttered.

Natsu and Sebastian both collapsed to the ground, seemingly knocked out.

"What are you two doing?! You're all bark and no bite! It's pathetic!" Michello scolded.

"Grandpa!"

"What's this? Both of your body's are still intact. That's incredible!" Jackal commented. "You're not fireballs for nothing!"

"Natsu! Pull yourself together!" Happy said.

"They're both unconscious." Carla stated.

"Well, I'm sure neither of them won't be able to move for a while." Jackal claimed as Michello looked nervous.

"It's over... He's gonna kill me!" He sobbed out.

"Give me information and I'll only kill your granddaughter." Jackal said, walking forward. "I'm a nice guy, see."

"You're a monster!" Lucy exclaimed.

Michello quickly rushed off. "Michello-san!" Lucy called out.

"Grandpa!" Michelia shouted.

"You're not going anywhere!" Jackal exclaimed as he chased after Michello.

"Wendy!" Lucy yelled.

"Right!"

"Be careful not to touch him!" Happy reminded.

"I know!" Lucy replied.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"

Wendy's breath attack aimed at Jackal as he placed his hand down and yellow light appeared, followed by an explosion.

"He's using a blast to disperse my roar!" Wendy noticed.

"An attack like that doesn't do diddly!" Jackal claimed.

"Get away from him, Wendy! If he touches you, you'll explode!" Carla warned.

Wendy leaped back. "Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!" She shouted, crossing her arms and letting out streams of wind at Jackal.

"I told you it won't work!" Jackal exclaimed, using his explosion to counter it. "And now I'm going to blow you all away!"

Jackal laughed as Wendy and Lucy gritted their teeth.

Michello continued running. "This is bad! This is really bad! If they are after Face, the world... the world will..." His thoughts soon trailed off.

"Gate of the Scorpion, I open thee!" Lucy raised Scorpio's gate key in the air as a door chime was heard. She swiped the key down. "Scorpio!"

Scorpio soon appeared from the gate. "We are!"

"A Celestial Spirit... Girl, you've got an interesting talent there." Jackal complimented, actually impressed.

"Let's see how interesting you find it after getting walloped by a scorpion attack!" Scorpio claimed. "Sand Buster!"

Jackal created another explosion, causing Lucy and Scorpio to get thrown back.

"There's sand in my eyes!" Carla complained.

"The inside of my mouth is crunchy!" Wendy added.

"Then how about a volley of attacks?! Sand Buster!" Scorpio called out again, creating three sand tornadoes.

"It makes no difference!" Jackal claimed as the sand scattered.

"Then we won't be able to see anything!" Wendy informed.

"Scorpio, that's enough! You can go back for now!" Lucy instructed.

"We are!" Scorpio vanished back into the Celestial Spirit World.

"Now you understand that it doesn't matter what you do, yes?" Jackal questioned.

"He uses explosive blasts to guard against all forms of Magic!" Happy exclaimed.

"That's powerful Magic!" Raden said.

"Magic?" Jackal laughed. "That reminds me of one more thing I wanted to tell you. The members of Tartaros don't use Magic. We use Curses!"

"Curses?!" Lucy repeated.

"Power that's ranked above Magic! Mere wizards can't beat us!" Jackal claimed as he moved his arms around once more. "Explosive Helix!"

Another explosion occurred, causing Lucy and Wendy to crash to the ground as their clothes were tattered.

"Lucy!"

"Wendy!"

Happy and Carla called out their names in worry. "Well, bye-bye!" Jackal said as he went off to find Michello.

"Are you okay?" Michelia asked in worry. "This is my grandfather's fault..."

"No! We're fighting for the sake of pride! Wendy! Please help Natsu and Sebastian!" Lucy ordered as she stood up. "I'll go after him!"

Lucy chased after Jackal. "Right!" Wendy agreed.

"What was that explosion before?"

"I don't know. Seems like nobody know what caused it. There were casualties all over the place. Maybe we should go help them."

"He's gonna kill me! Somebody, help!" Michello shouted.

"What the...? I've never seen that old man before."

"'Help me...' Does he have something to do with that explosion?"

"Hey, you! Find me a place to hide!" Michello ordered.

"W-What's your problem...?"

"Somebody's trying to kill me!" Michello replied. "I'm a former member of the Magic Council! I've protected your lives all this time! Now it's your turn to protect me!"

"Found you, old man." Jackal said as Michello flinched.

"Don't! It has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything!" Michello claimed, jumping into a river. "I just want to live in peace with my granddaughter!"

"Who's the one that ran off for dear life, leaving his granddaughter behind?" Jackal asked while chuckling.

Lucy continued running as she pulled out a key.

"Gate..."

"Uh-oh. I wouldn't move if I were you." Jackal stated as a yellow circle was underneath Lucy's feet.

"What is this?!" Lucy questioned.

"The moment you step off of a cursed mine... Boom." Jackal responded as onlookers stared at them.

"What's all the fuss?"

"Wizards are fighting."

"It's dangerous here, everyone! Get away!" Lucy ordered.

"Huh? I've seen that girl before."

"You know... She did her best in a swimsuit during the Grand Magic Games."

"A lot of humans are here... I just thought of something amusing." Jackal said to himself.

Jackal captured Michello in a sphere of yellow light. "Don't! Leave me alone!" Michello shouted.

Jackal snapped his fingers again as another sphere of yellow light surrounded a woman.

"What is this?!"

"Two explosions!" Jackal announced as the woman clenched her stomach.

"Stop this!" Michello ordered as the citizens ran away in terror.

"Explosions?!"

"Let's get out of here!"

"They should stay to watch a fun show that displays human ugliness." Jackal stated. "I'm going to detonate only one. Choose which one. The other, I'll set free."

Lucy looked at him. "Which will be saved and which will die? I'm telling you to decide." Jackal elaborated as Lucy widened her eyes in horror.

"Natsu! Come on, wake up!" Happy tried to shake Natsu awake.

"Pull yourself together, Sebastian!" Raden said.

"They both really took a beating!" Carla claimed.

"I'll use Healing Magic!" Wendy stated, pushing her hands forward as a green glow appeared from them.

"Wendy, what do you think?" Happy asked.

"Don't overtax yourself. If you use too much power, you'll collapse, too." Carla reminded.

"I can't let that happen! Not when Lucy-san is fighting on her own!" Wendy claimed.

"Please, help me! I'm pregnant!" The woman pleaded.

"You came to protect me, remember?! Help me!" Michello shouted.

"S-Stop it!" Lucy begged. "What's the point of this?"

"There is no point. Humans are just toys." Jackal answered.

"Toys?!" Lucy quoted. "Face me, fair and square..."

"You have ten seconds. Hurry up and choose." Jackal interrupted.

"I can't!" Lucy exclaimed as tears fell down the woman's face.

"Why...? Why is this happening to me?"

"What is there to ponder over?! I'm a former member of the Council! My life is much more important!" Michello stated.

Lucy tried to move forward. "Uh-oh... If you move, you'll be the one who goes boom!" Jackal exclaimed. "And if that happens, both of them will detonate, too."

Jackal then laughed. "It's okay... It's okay. Mama is with you..." The woman spoke, holding her stomach as Lucy gritted her teeth.

"Save me! Me! Which one of us has done more good for this world?! There's nothing to even think about!" Michello exclaimed, making Lucy shut her eyes tightly.

"So... Which life do you choose, Fairy Tail?!" Jackal asked.

"Your..."

"...life!"

Natsu and Sebastian charged forward, punching Jackal in sync and causing him to go flying.

"Natsu! Sebastian!" Lucy shouted in relief.

"Are you all right, Lucy-san?!" Wendy questioned as her, Happy, Carla, and Raden joined her.

"Thank goodness we made it in time!" Carla said as both the woman and Michello were released, as well as Lucy.

"The explosive disappeared!" Lucy noticed.

"God..."

"You're okay now." Happy reassured.

"We'll carry you to a safe place." Raden told her.

"Y-You saved me! Well done! Nice work!" Michello commented.

Sebastian slammed his fist down on Michello's head, shocking everyone while Raden sighed. Michello fell to the ground.

"You pissed me off, so take a nap." Sebastian ordered.

Both Natsu and Sebastian walked towards Jackal. "I guess you both have trouble learning. You touched me again." Jackal said.

"Natsu, be careful!" Happy warned.

"You too, Sebastian!" Raden added.

"It seems he uses Curses, which are stronger than Magic!" Wendy informed.

"Curses?" Natsu repeated.

"I don't know the details, but it's different than Magic, apparently." Carla said.

"I'm glad you remembered. But it's too late." Jackal said as Natsu and Sebastian began to glow. "Curse, a power even stronger than Magic! This time, I'll teach both of your bodies just how formidable that is!"

"We've got the hang of it!" Natsu claimed.

"Hang of it?" Jackal quoted.

Natsu and Sebastian pressed their arms together.

"Natsu! Sebastian!"

"Natsu-san! Sebastian-san!"

An explosion went off as Natsu and Sebastian were both perfectly fine, shocking Jackal.

Natsu chuckled. "See?"

"Your measly explosions won't work on us anymore, bastard!" Sebastian claimed as him and Natsu had a stare off with Jackal.
