The scene opens to Hexside academy, students walking around and talking with each other, enjoying another school day. Walking out of one of the classrooms was a familiar black haired boy; Luke Martins. Luke lets out a yawn as he stretches his body, cracking a few bones in the process. He just finished sitting through potion class and he was about to head over to his locker to get his stuff but stopped when he noticed Willow with a sad expression.
Luke: *waves his hand* Hey Willow.
Willow: *jolts when she hears his voice* O-Oh hey Luke.
Luke: Something wrong?
Willow: *waves her head* O-Oh it's nothing!
Luke could tell she was lying. So he just narrowed his eyes as she started to sweat a little from his gaze. Eventually she sighed knowing that lying to Luke wasn't going to work.
Willow: Ok you got me. The teacher assigned everyone to bring back a new plant species to class.
Luke: A new plant species?
Willow: Yes! *groans* I've been trying to figure out what to come up with!
Luke: (How would you come up with anything?)
While Luke was thinking about that, he noticed Willow's said expression. Seeing her down, he couldn't help but feel a little bad for her.
Luke: Want me to help?
Willow: *looks at Luke* Huh?
Luke: I can help you out if you want to/
This caused Willow to slightly blush.
Willow: Y-Yea. I would appreciate it. Do you have any ideas?
Luke: *puts his thumb and index finger under his chin* Hmmm. First we need to get you some inspiration. Just need to find a great place.
Suddenly Luke felt someone put their arm around his shoulder.
Gajeel: Whatsapp Martins?
Luke: Oh Titan damn it.
Yep it was black steel Gajeel. Though this isn't the first time he has been friendly with Luke. Ever since the cave quest, Gajeel has been a lot more friendly towards Luke.
Gajeel: *notices Willow and looks at Luke* Was I interrupting something?
Willow: *blushes and waves her hands* N-No! L-Luke was just trying to help!
Gajeel: He was huh? *looks at Luke* And help with what, if you don't mind me asking?
Luke: Whatever is going through your dirty mind, no that was not it.
Demon: Because if it was, we would be doing "bow chicka wow wow chicka wow wow"
Luke lets out another long sigh. See Gajeel hasn't been his only problem. The little demon inside of his head has been making... Well unnecessary comments.
Flashback
Luke was walking around Hexside when out of nowhere a student came crashing into the lockers. He stared at the unconscious student trying to figure out what happened.
Luke: Uhhhh
"I got rejected."
Luke: Oh.
Demon: Ha! This puts the "Worst she can say is no" scenario in a different meaning. Am I right?
Scene changes
Demon: Knock knock?
Luke: *sighs* Really?
Demon: Knock Knock?
Luke:... Who's there?
Demon: Death.
Luke: Death who?
Silents. Luke looked at the demon with a raised eyebrow.
Demon: Get it? Cause when you die, death never answers! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Luke: That doesn't make any sense.
Demon: *sighs in relief* You don't get good humor. Eye on the other hand.
Luke raised his eyebrow again when he noticed the demon looking at his other head. He was holding a teacup.
Demon: Oh you at least get that one right.
End of Flashback
Luke: If you must know, I was trying to help Willow come up with a plant for her class. Got any ideas?
Gajeel: *thinks for a second* Nope.
The two give Gajeel a deadpan look.
Gajeel: What? You know I don't know anything about plants.
Willow lets out a sad sigh. Gajeel notices it and decides to cheer her up.
Gajeel: Buuut I do know someone that can help.
Music starts playing
The scene starts to open up at the abandoned house in the human world. It starts to zoom in to the portal door that leads to the Boiling Isles
OH~
It now flies over inside showing the bright sky and sunlight of the land. It then crosses over to the Isles itself showing the dead Titan. Suddenly the title screen started to show.
Dragon Slayer of the Boiling Isles
I caught a glimpse of light (when I was empty inside) and through the nothingness (I found this world)
The scene shows the three friends walking through the city of Boonsboro. They passed by many townspeople eventually making it to the owl house where Eda, King, Baby dragon, Nights, and Hooty waiting for them with smiles on their faces
I'll wander calling your name. Until the end of my days! 'Til I find the answer!
The three friends ran up to their friends. Both Luz and Y/N gave Eda a big hug with smiles on their faces. Eda had an uncomfortable look at first, but then eased into the hug. King, and Baby dragon, join the hug, while Luke looks at the scene with a small smile. Nights rubs on Luke's leg as Luke just pets the nightfurry.
Right through my fingers I'm losing the light!
The scene changes with the eye of the Portal door. The eye open and ignite on fire. Luz jumps in front of it, with her cap on her, as she pulls out some glyphs in her pocket. She slams them together creating multiple light orbs around her.
Why can't I ever do anything right!?
Eda appears in front of her holding Owlbert in her hand. She spins her staff with a smirk on her face and was about to cast a spell but King jumps out from her hair, raising his hands up with a big smile on her face. Eda had a look of annoyance from King interrupting her.
This is the time!
Y/N jumps down in front of Eda with Zack's sword strapped on his back. He then summons fire in his right hand and lighting his his left. He smirks at the camera as his right eye glowed red and his left eye glowed a shooking blue. Baby dragon was on his head barking at the camera.
Throw it aside!
Luke appears from below in front of Y/N, with a serious expression on his face. He holds his blade in his right hand and has a demon claw in his left. His sword had black blood on it causing it to glow as he lift it over his head.
Take all your scars and just leave them behind (Oh)
Willow appears from below Luke and in front of him. She jumps up with both her arms out. Her eyes start to glow green as she lifts her arms up in the air. Giant vines start to appear behind her growing all the way to the top.
I'm going to get there dead or alive!
Gus comes from the left scattering in front of Willow. He was holding a book under his left armpit. He pulls the book out and opens it up to a random page. He slams his left hand on the book and then lifts it up. Suddenly two clones of him appear beside him as they all smile at the camera.
But on my own I cannot survive!
Amity does a spin in front of Gus. She then stops in front of the camera as she holds her hands over her head. She then brings them down, with them being on both sides of her. Her hands start to glow as she looks at the camera with a smirk. Suddenly abomination goo starts to cover the camera.
I don't want to lie to myself!
The scene opens up with a three frame slot showing Lilith, The golden guard, and the dragon guard. Lilith had an angry expression with her left arm out about to claw the camera, the golden guard had his staff out as his cap looked like it was flowing in the wind, and the dragon guard had his weapon in front of him. The frames then flip over showing: a Depressed Lilith that had a look of regret and shame, the golden guard who was holding his mask but showing his right red eye and some of his golden hair, and the dragon guard that was holding his mask in one hand, showing of his dark red glowing eyes that had a scare coming down from it, some red hair, and he was holding his weapon in his other hand.
Keep on the fight, that's right! (I'll never lose and cry)
The scene opens with Luke staring into the darkvoid. He was holding Sally's necklace in his right hand and his sword in his left. He looked down the whole time contemplating. Suddenly Sally appeared on his left side with a sweet smile and the little demon appeared on his right with a sinister smile.
Keep running day and night! (It's time to rewrite)
Y/N was surrounded by fire as he had fire in his right hand and lighting is his left. He looked at the fire with determination on his face. Suddenly his mother and Zack appeared behind him on his left, Igneel and a fire dragon appeared behind on his right.
No matter what anyone says I'll find my way
Luz is seen practicing her glyph magic. She then looks up at the sky as she is thinking about all the events that played out. She then sees a picture of her , her friends and her mother. They were all smiling and hugging each other close. She holds the picture in her hand and smiles brightly at the picture, and goes back to looking at the sky.
Yea~ never go away~ (Never go away now!)
A hand suddenly comes and smashes the screen to bits. Belos squeezes his hand as the camera shows his bright blue eyes behind his mask. The camera then distances itself from the Emperor and shows him on top of his castle as he orders his supportents. Below him were coven scouts and the 4 shadow figures. They all looked like they were ready to battle. The camera then shows The owl house crew looking at the army as they were ready for a fight.
Nobody can stop me no way!
The scene shows Gajeel blitzing through multiple coven guards and charges an iron roar at them. Levy was at his side creating multiple script magic blasting through the guards. Lily was in his buff form using his red blade striking through all the guards. Suddenly a figure rushed at Gajeel cliding his fist with his. Gajeel smirked at the figure as he saw the figure smirking back at him.
That promise is engraved in my memory!
Luke, Willow, Gus, Amity, and Nights were all battling covent scouts. Luke using his blade and shadows, Willow tangled them up in plants, Gus using his clones to prank or knock them out, Amity summoning giant Abominations slamming them away, and Nights blasting them away with a blast from his mouth. A cloaked figure summoning a dark magic spell in his fingertips headed straight for Luke. Luke eyes widen as he quickly counter with his sword. He was glaring at the figure as the left side of his face started to turn demonic, while the figure looked at him with a smirk of interest.
We'll take it back, you just watch!
Eda, Lilith, Wendy, Carla, and baby dragon were all battling more scouts. Eda and Lilith would use combination glyph magic, Carla would power glyph magic, baby dragon would blow fire at them burning the scouts, Wendy would blast a dragon roar from her mouth blasting them all away. The dust would settle and a figure ran at Wendy. Wendy quickly grabs the figures hands as they both start to squeeze as they look at each other. The figure would smile at Wendy mocking her and Wendy would struggle at first but slowly her eyes would start to glow a bright blue
Everything that we lost, raise up in this world~
Luz was running at the guards striking them with multiple glyphs. She then runs at the castle and throws multiple ice glyphs on the ground. Ice pillars started to appear as Luz ran and jumped on each one of them. Once she reaches the top she jumps in the air above Belos. Belos looks up in the air and sees the human girl with a fire glyph in her right hand. She brings her right arm back and quickly brings it back forward trying to strike the emperor. Belos summons his staff and counters with his own magic. The two clash in the middle resulting in a bright explosion.
The end of our journey is on repeat
Y/N and the dragon guard were battling at an abandoned lake. The two would clash their weapons over and over again, dodging and countering each other. They would clash in the middle and glare at one another.
But I won't let it stand between you and me
Y/N was down on his knees panting heavily. He held his left shoulder with his right arm as he looked up at his opponent. He couldn't see their face since the shadows were blocking it but he could tell they were smiling sinisterly at him. He then looks down at Slayer in front of him and saw the demon smiling sinisterly at him
What are you fighting for!?
The scene shows Y/N's mother in a white void staring at a hooded figure. The figure had their back to her as he looked down. Y/N's mother had a look of sadness as she had her arms close to her chest as tears fell from her eyes. She yells the same words as the lyrics at the figure, causing the figure to flinch as a tear falls from his eye. For a split second it showed a teenage boy with red hair beside an orange hair girl and a black hair boy as they all smiled brightly.
Cause it's not over!
Y/N gets up from his knees and glares at the camera. Suddenly his right eye starts to go full red and the right side of his body slowly starts to change.
Rise up in this world!
Y/N picks up his blade and dashes at the camera. He lets out a battle roar and slash's the camera making everything go white
OH~
The scene opens up with Y/N looking at the sunset with a sad look on his face. Suddenly Luz came beside him and intertwin her hand with his. This caught his attention as he turned to the smiling human girl. He then felt someone rest on his shoulder. He turns and sees Luke just smirking at him. This made him start to smile. Just then all of his friends walked up and looked at the young dragon slayer with smiles on their faces. Y/N smiled at them then turned his face back at the camera and gave a smirk as his eyes started to glow red.
Hexside Library
Levy: *puts a book down* So you guys need help coming up with a plant huh? *rubs her nose with a confident smile* You come to the right place.
The three were standing in front of a confident Levy. Since Gajeel didn't know anything about plant magic he decided to send the two to the person that knows a lot, Levy.
Luke: Seriously Black steel.
Gajeel: What? You two needed help with plants, I figured Levy would be the best choice.
Demon: I mean he's not wrong. People who tend to do nothing but read books a lot are the most knowledgeable ones.
Levy: *appears in front of them* Found it!
This made the others jolt from Levy's sudden appearance. In her hands she was holding an old book.
Levy: *flips through the pages* Ah! Here it is!
Levy showed them the page. The three looked at it and saw an old looking forest.
Luke: "Forest of white Dreams?"
Levy: *looks at the book* It is said that in the forest are lots of different types of plants and creatures. *looks at Willow* Maybe that could give you some inspiration.
Willow: *thinks for a bit* I guess it's worth a try. *looks at Luke* What do you say Luke?
Luke: *shrugs his shoulder* As long as it helps you, I'm fine with it.
Willow could help but blush a little.
Luke: *starts to walk away* Besides, *stretches* I'm tired of caves.
Demon: Awwww. But I love caves. They're so dark and spooky and a great place for murder to happen.
The two walked away leaving Levy and Gajeel by themselves.
Levy: That was really nice of you Gajeel.
Gajeel: *puts his hands behind his back* I don't know what you're talking about.
Levy couldn't help but giggle at Gajeel's response.
Emperor's Castle
We cut over to the Emperor's throne room. Beside him were all the abominations that they bought from the Blight family. The doors open revealing the Golden guard.
Golden Guard: *walks up and knees in front of the emperor* You wish to speak with me?
Belos: Yes. I want you to go to the Forest of dreams, and see if the rumor that has been going around is true.
Golden guard: *stands up and bows* As you wish.
The Golden guard leaves the room, leaving Belos alone with the abominations.
?: *offscreen* Sending him on a wild goose chase.
Well almost alone. The emperor looks over and sees the black wizard himself, Zeref, leaning on the wall. The abominations notice him and were about to attack, but the emperor lifts up his hand telling them to stand down. The abominations obeyed and put down their arms.
Zeref: *walks over to the emperor* Is there a particular reason why you sent him away?
Belos: I just wanted to see if that rumor is true.
Zeref: Ah yes the rumor of a crazy old man. Are you sure that you're not overthinking this?
Belos: *stands up* A rumor is only uncertain unless proven. I want to make sure it is just a rumor.
Zeref: Heh. If you say so.
As the black wizard begins to walk out he was stopped.
Belos: Unless you know something about it?
It was silent for a bit.
Zeref: *turns his head* Maybe I do, maybe I don't. *leaves the room* Who knows?
Belos was about to speak until his body started to hurt. He clenches his chest in pain as he started to breathe heavily.
Zeref: Make sure you take your daily dose of pailsman. We wouldn't want a repeat of last time.
The black wizard leaves as Belos continues to breathe heavily. One of the abominations brought him a pailasman. The emperor snatches it and breaks it, making green magic enter into his mask. The emperor breathes the life force in and lets out a sigh as the pain slowly starts to fade away.
Belos: *eyes glow blue* Black wizard... What are you hiding?
Cuts back to Willow and Luke
Luke and Willow were walking through the streets of Boonsboro. They both were heading towards Willow's house, so the plant girl can go and change. Willow used her key and opened the door to her house.
Willow: I'm home!
Harvey: *walks to the front door* Welcome home sweet pea. *notices Luke* Oh Luke! So glad to see you again.
Luke: It's a pleasure to see you again Mr.- *gets cut off from Harvey's glare* Harvey.
Harvey: *smiles* So what brings you here?
Willow: Lukes going to help me with a class assignment.
Harvey: Awww~ My little Willow is going help from her future husband.
This caused Willow to blush full red and Luke to lightly blush.
Willow: DAD!
Demon: *taps his chin* I wonder what he would say if he found out you had other girls.
Luke: *glares at the demon* (Seriously.)
Harvey: Well as you go up and change maybe Luke and I can look at more of your baby pictures.
Luke was about to respond but Willow grabbed his arm and forced him up stairs.
Willow: No he's not!
Willow starts pushing Luke up the stairs while Harvey just chuckles from her daughter's reaction.
Willow: *opens the door to her room* Sorry about my dad. He can be a little- you know.
Demon: Sadly we don't. Mines dead.
Luke: I guess.
Luke looked around Willow's room and noticed a lot of places in the place. He saw a small bed and near it was a desk, with a lot of books.
Luke: Nice place.
Willow: *blushes* T-Thanks! I'm going to change. *looks at Luke* Don't go peeking on me~
Luke:... Don't need to worry about that.
Willow lets out a giggle as she goes to the bathroom to go change. Meanwhile Luke was trying to clear the light blush on his face.
Demon: 🎵I can get your heartbeat beat beat beating like I can get your heartbeat beating like that You know you got my heartbeat beat beat beating like eh eh eh eh Eh🎵
Luke: *whispers yells* Would you please!?
Demon: What? Don't like the song?
Luke: Seriously what has gotten into you? Aren't you usually quiet?
Demon: Well I am the opposite of you. *points to Luke* You with your moody and edginess. *gestures to himself* I'm more upbeat and happy. *raises his finger* With a pinch of craving blood and internal organs.
A moment of silence.
Demon: Thaaaat... And I'm still recovering from the battle with black steel Gajeel. *pats his head* I think I might have gotten a concussion. *waves his hand* Eh but don't worry I should be back to my normal, brooding, coffee drinking self... But the murder won't go away though.
Luke lets out a sigh. He heard the door open and saw Willow walking out. She was wearing her usual attire.
Demon: Ehhh kinda disappointed. Wishing she would spice it up with something more. *shrugs his shoulder* But hey, we pretty much wear the same clothes everyday anyway.
Luke just sighs.
Willow: You ok Luke?
Luke: Yea just thinking.
Willow gives him a worried look.
Luke: Let's go.
Willow: O-Ok.
The two head outside of Willows house.
Willow: So are we going to walk there?
Luke: I got a better idea. Night!
Slowly something came out of Luke's shadow and it was Nights. Though the young nightfurry was a lot bigger than usual. The nightfurry noticed Willow and started to bark happily. It walked up to her and rubbed on her leg.
Willow: *giggles* It's good to see you too, Nights. Also have you gotten bigger?
Luke: He hit his growth spurt. He's more of a pain to deal with now.
Nights whacked Luke with his tail.
Luke: Ow!
Luke rubbed his head and glared at the Nightfurry. While Willow patted his head.
Luke: Anyway, can you give us a ride Nights?
Demon: Might want to reword that phrasing.
Luke just groans annoyed from the demon's comment. Nights looked at the two for a bit and then looked at Luke. The look he gave Luke made the half demon even more irritated. He was moving his eyebrows up and down staring at Luke.
Demon: See, even the Nightfurry gets it.
Luke: *groans* Can you please help us Nights?
The nightfury got down on its legs, letting the two know to get on. Luke just sighs and climbs on top of Nights.
Luke: *holds his hand out* Ready?
Willow looked at Luke and smiled. She grabbed his hand and hopped on behind him.
Luke: Hold on tight. Nights tend to fly really fast.
Willow grabbed Lukes waist and held on tight, while Luke felt something touching his back making him blush slightly.
Demon: *deep inhale*...
Luke: *mutters* Shut. It.
Demon: *exhales*... *whispers* I'll hum it then.
The demon started to hum the heart beating song from before making Luke groan. Nights immediately took off into the sky and started flying.
Right arm pit of the titan
Deep inside the titans armpit is a forest. But inside of it looking red it was green with grassy fields. Suddenly a red lightning wave landed inside the first, revealing the golden guard holding his staff. As he landed, ashes started to fall around him.
Golden guard: Alright. Time to get started. *starts to walk around* I wonder why uncle wanted me to look into the rumor. Heh. Probably because he trusts me.
As the guard continued to talk to himself he started to hear something flapping in the air. He looked up and saw something landing into the forest.
Golden guard: Is that-
He hid behind some trees and looked at the scene. He saw Nights landing on the ground and Willow and Luke getting off of him.
Golden guard: (A Nightfury! I read books about those! Never thought I would get to see one with my own eyes.) *looks closer* (And what do we have here? The half demon boy and... A student from hexside? Didn't take the half demon for a ladies man.)
Luke: Thanks for the ride Nights.
The nightfury lets out a bark as it disappears into Luke's shadow.
Demon: Still surprised he can survive in there. I keep a lot of personal things in there. *coughs* monster *cough*.
Luke was about to respond until he heard Willow giggle.
Luke: What?
Willow: Nothing. It's just, you got a little nicer Luke.
Luke: *raises his eyebrow* Was I mean before?
Demon: I meaaaaan... Yes.
Willow" *waves her hands around* O-Oh no! I-It's uhh..
Luke: I'm kidding. Anyway, let's start searching for some inspiration.
Willow: *nods her head* Yea.
The two began their journey into the forest, unknown to them a certain guard was watching.
Golden Guard: I got time to kill. I'll follow these guys for a bit and then I'll follow these guys for a bit and then arrest the moody guy.
The golden guard jumped into the forest trees and decided to hide there. Meanwhile, Luke and Willow were walking around the forest. They saw a lot of different plants and creatures: Birds, flowers, and a very disturbing combination of both.
Luke: Any of these plants giving you inspiration?
Willow: *sighs* No. Not really. Not even the corn plant gave me anything.
The two looked over and saw a little corn, planted in the ground.
"Hey kid, don't look so down. At least you're not "rooted" to the ground."
Demon: HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH! Get it! Cause he's rooted to the ground! HAHAHAHAHA! *wipes a tear* Oh that's comedy.
Luke: *facepalms* (If you have to explain a joke it's not funny.)
Demon: That I will argue. Cause if you tell someone a joke and they don't get it, if you explain to them what it meant, they'll get it and then they'll laugh.
Luke: Why?
Willow: *sighs sadly* It's hopeless.
Luke: *puts his hand on her shoulder* Hey, come on. We still have time. Lets just look around.
This made Willow look up at Luke and blushed a little.
"He's right, you know. You should look on the brightside at least you won't mist anything."
The two give the demon a deadpan look.
Demon: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!
Luke: That one doesn't even make any sense.
Demon: I know. I'm just laughing at the bright side part.
The two just walked away from the corn plant. Meanwhile the guard watching above was curious about the corn plant's so-called joke.
Golden Guard: What did he mean by mist anything?
Both Willow and Luke continue to walk deeper into the forest but notice something strange. Something was covering their vision.
Willow: Uhh what's going on?
Luke: I don't know. Some kind of-
Luke's eyes widened when he realized what the corn joke meant.
Demon: Ooooooh mist, miss. I get it! He was warning us about a mist! Oh that is comedy gold baby!
Ignoring the demon's comment, Luke turned around and noticed they were in a thick fog of mist. They couldn't see the ground or even the trees anymore.
Willow: Where did this mist come from?
Luke: I don't know. But we should stay close.
Following Luke's words Willow wrapped her arm around Luke's arm and stayed close. The two started walking through the mist trying to get out.
Golden guard: Agh. All this mist is in my way. I can't risk jumping from tree to tree like this. Guess I should continue following them on foot.
The guard jumped down and started following the two on the ground. Luke and Willow continue walking through the mist trying to get out. But Luke noticed something off about the mist.
Luke: (Damn it. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to sense any magic in this mist. Not only that.) *looks to the side* (I can't shake this feeling we're being watched.)
As the two continue walking, Luke ends up hitting his head on something. This caused him to groan as he held his head in pain.
Willow: Luke! Are you ok?
Luke: *rubs his head* Yea. Just bumped into someth-
Before Luke could say anything else, he looked up at what he ran into. It was a giant gate, and what's strange about this gate was that there was nothing around it. No pillars to support it, no weird writing, just a random gate that stretched for miles.
Luke: Uhhhh...
Willow: What's this gate doing here?
Luke: No clue. But we should go.
Demon: What!? A random gate appears out of nowhere and you just leave! Where's your sense of adventure!?
Luke: Aren't you the one that usually tries to talk me out of it?
Demon: Yes, buuuuut this is a undiscovered land, whose peoples blood is waiting to be splattered around the wall.
A moment of silence.
Demon: I told you I still have the craving of blood and violence.
As Luke was busying arguing with his inner demon, Willow went up to the gate and inspected it. As she did, a sudden voice appeared.
"Open it."
Willow was hesitant at first but slowly started to push the gate open. Just then the golden guard appeared and saw the gate.
Golden guard: *eyes widen* (Is that!?)
Luke: We are not going to open some random- *hears the door open* She opened the gate didn't she?
Demon: Uh.. *nods his head* Yes, sir. Yes she did.
Luke: *looks over at Willow* Willow!
Willow: Eep! I-I didn't mean-
Golden guard: *offscreen* Hold it right there!
The two looked over and saw the golden guard charging right at them.
Luke: *gets into a battle stance* You!
Before anything else could happen a bright light covers all three of them, making them cover their eyes.
Demon: AHHHHHH! THE LIGHT! IT BURNS!
The light covers the whole scene and then... Gone. All three of them, even the gate was gone, leaving us in an empty mist.
Gajeel and Levy
Back at the Library, Gajeel was glaring at Levy as she nervously rubbed the back of her head.
Gajeel: *pinches his eyebrow* You forgot to mention to them that that part of the forest gets randomly covered by a thick mist. Which many people are never heard from.
Levy: *pokes her fingers together* P-Probably should have finished that book before bringing up that idea to them.
Gajeel just sighed from Levy's foolishness. He looked outside and realized he couldn't smell nor sense Luke or Willows magic.
Levy: Think they'll be ok?
Gajeel:... Knowing Martins, No. But the plant girl can keep him safe. But just in case. *walks away* I better go after them.
Before Gajeel could take any more steps, he bumped into the principle.
Bump: Aye Mr. Redfox. I've been looking for you.
Gajeel: *raises his eyebrow* Uhhh why? And if it's because of that one kid I punched into a locker, I regret nothing.
Bump: No, that is a different matter. I heard you acquired a new form/
Gajeel: Yeeaa?
Bump: Perfect! *grabs his arm* Let's see if we can get you into better control!
Gajeel: Wait what!? I didn't agree to this!
Bump: A form in your hands is dangerous. But guided by a good tutor it could help you in the future.
Gajeel: *gets dragged and looks at Levy* LEVY! HELP!
Levy: *waves and smiles* Good luck Gajeel.
Gajeel: TRAITOR!
Both Gajeel and Bump left, leaving Levy alone in the room. She looks outside and sighs a little.
Levy: I hope you two will be ok.
Back with Luke
?: Luke?
Silence.
?: Luke~?
Silence.
?: Luk- Oh for the love of, WAKE UP LUKE!
Luke shot his eyes open and was met with the bright sunlight. Luke raises his hand to block out the sun as he slowly sits up with a groan.
Luke: Ugh. What happened?
Demon: Well to answer that question: Do you want the good news or bad news?
Luke: *sighs* Good news first.
Demon: Welp good news we are in new uncharted territory. *points* Look.
Luke looked over and was amazed at what he was looking at. He saw a giant beautiful forest, in that forest were human size fairies. Their homes were built inside the trees and they would travel around with their wings. What was very noticeable about the forest they were living in was the giant pink tree in the center of the forest.
Luke: Wow. Wait, what's the bad news?
Demon: Oh right, bad news is we have no idea where the little flower is annnd you might want to duck.
Luke was going to question him, but sensed something to the right of him. Quick on his feet, Luke lended back avoiding a blast attack. He flipped himself off the ground and scatted on it and looked up at his attacker. He saw the golden guard, with his staff stretched forward, looking to where he shot his attack.
Golden guard: I was going to do the whole, stay here with the dramatic pose cliche, but you were talking to yourself for so long I started to get bored.
Luke: *summons his sword* Do you ever stop being annoying?
Demon: Oh got'em. Also I sense a fight. *gets into the middle between the two* Alright boys I want a really bloody fight. Teeth missing and blood everywhere. *clears his throat* Ladies and Gentlemen *gestures to Luke* In this corner, we have the moody and grumpy, half demon, Luke Martins! And in this corner *gestures to the golden guard* We have the annoying, serious, and a guy who takes life way too seriously... Uhhh sh*t what's his name? Uhh something gold. Oh right! Golden guard! Who would win!? Let's find out! AND BEGIN!
The two rushed at each other, weapons in hand and a giant clash echoed.
With Willow
"What is that?"
"It could be a witch."
"But how did she get here?"
Slowly our little plant girl slowly started to open her eyes. At first her vision was blurry but as it started to fix she started to see fairies the same size as her. She blinked a few times trying to make sure she was seeing clearly. When she realized she did she quickly sat up as the fairies started to fly away from her a few feet.
Willow: W-Where am I!? What is this place!? And are you all fair-
?: *offscreen* Enough!
Willow flinched from the sound of the voice. She turned and saw a bunch of fairy guards. In front of those guards was a female, she was wearing a long yellow dress that covered the stumps of her legs lost at the knees and a green hat adorned with a flower that covered her right eye socket. She also wears earrings that match her pointy ears and wings, and a fruit wand. The fairy girl approaches Willow and points her wand at the plant girl.
Fairy guard: How did you get here witch?
Willow was hesitant to answer. She had so many questions in her mind, but the main question was: Where is Luke?
BOOM!
A giant explosion happened in the forest, making some of the fairy to scream. All the guards and Willow turned and saw a small fairy boy flying up to the guard.
"MS. GERHEADE!"
Gerheade: What's going on!?
"Two outsides! They are over in the west forest destroying the land!"
Willow: *thinks and realizes* Luke!
Willow was going to go in the direction but was stopped by the guards pointing their weapons at her.
Gerheade: You will stay put! I'll deal with these intruders! *looks at the guards* Keep an eye on the prisoner.
"Yes ma'am!"
Gerheade flys over to the west side of the forest to deal with the intruders.
Back with Luke and the golden guard
CLASH! BANG! BOOM!
Luke was seen crashing into one of the fairy houses. He slowly starts to get up, irritated, and notices a child with his parents. They all looked shocked and scared.
Luke: *looks around* Nice place.
Luke jumps down to the ground and looks ahead. He sees the golden guard landed on the ground twirling his staff.
Golden guard: Not bad *grabs his staff and points it to Luke* Looks like you can take it hit.
Luke: Yea, I've been working out.
Golden guard: Oh? What kind of workout?
Demon: Pushes up, sit ups, and plenty of juice. Or whatever that green liquid that comes out of plants that grows here.
Luke: *smirks* Sorry *takes a battle stance* That's none of your concern.
Golden guard: *shrugs his shoulder* Oh well then. *takes a stance* Guess I can beat it out of you.
Luke: Come and try.
The two rushed at each other. Luke swings his sword down but the guard vanishes, leaving a trail of red magic. He appears behind Luke and tries to whack him with his staff, but Luke counters it by blocking it with his sword. Luke goes for a kick to the Guards gut, but the golden guard teleports again, dodging Luke's kick. The guard starts to teleport around Luke all over the place. Luke tried to follow him with his eyes, but couldn't keep up with his speed.
Luke: (Damn it. He's too fast. And I can't sense his magic.)
Demon: *sitting criss cross* To defeat an enemy you can't see or sense, you must predict his next line of attack.
Luke: (Seriously how is that-)
Before Luke could finish the guard appeared behind him, pointed his staff, and shot out chains from the tip of the staff. Luke quickly turns around, holds his blade like a dagger, and slashes it up making a shadow slash come out destroying the chains and the ground below. The shadow attack heads for the guard, but he teleports away and charges at Luke. He appeared before Luke could react and pointed his staff at Luke's shoulder, causing a shock attack on the half blood demon. Luke grunts in pain and quickly jumps back as some of his blood drops on the ground. Luke scats on the ground holding his shoulder as a few drops of blood drips down on the ground.
Golden guard: Esh, and here I thought you got stronger. Guess this will be easier than I thought.
Luke:...*slowly starts to smirk* I wouldn't be so sure of that.
The golden guard was confused until he heard a sound. He looks down and sees Luke's blood starting to bubble.
Luke: *raises his hand* Bloody Needle!
Needles shot out towards the guard. Quickly the guard teleports in the air to avoid the attack, but Luke predicted he would do that and appeared above the guard. Luke spins his body and kicks the guard in the back dropping him down, with him, towards the ground.
The guard hits the ground hard as Luke jumps back and lands on top of one of the houses. Luke sees the guard groan in pain as he uses his staff for support.
Luke: What happened to that cocky attitude of yours?
The golden guard glared at Luke. He spins his staff and starts teleporting around Luke again. Luke slowly brought his sword in front of him and closed his eyes.
Luke: (concentrate. Predict his next attack.)
Everything started to go silent. The only thing Luke could hear is the sound of the guard teleporting all over the place. As Luke continued to concentrate he heard the flapping sound of the guards cap. The half demon opens his eyes and swings his sword behind him, seeing the golden guard. Shocked, the guard quickly parry's with his staff, but ends up getting sent flying. He flips and lands on top of one of the houses as Luke smirks.
Golden guard: How did you-
Luke: Seems you're not all that powerful annoying guard.
The guard glares at Luke and is about to charge at him, while Luke is doing the same. The two dashed at each other and were about to clash... Until.
?: ENOUGH!
A plant circle appeared below the two, shocking them. Before they could react, vines appeared, trapping the two, and causing them to lose their weapons. The vines slammed the two on the ground as they both groaned in pain. The two weakly looked up and saw weapons pointing at their faces. They also saw the same guard that appeared before Willow, looking down at the two.
Gerheade: You two have caused enough destruction.
The two realized their battle was the last of their worries. Right now they were in front of an angry fairy.
Chibi Timeskip: Chibi Luke and Golden guard in a plant prison cell
Walking through the fairy forest, both Luke and the Golden guard were trapped in a branch catch, with their arms tied up and weapons stolen, held by Gerheades magic. Willow was walking beside the cage with the guards watching her.
Golden Guard: This is a violation to the Emperor's rules! Release me at once!
Luke: *annoyed* Dude will you shut up already!? You've been saying that for the past 10 minutes!
Golden Guard: Not until these guys release me!
Luke: And you think saying the same thing over and over again is going to do anything!?
Golden Guard: Oh sorry moody, I'm not a low life criminal like you!
Demon: Damn!
Luke: I rather be a low life criminal then some stuck up annoying brat!
Demon: DAMN!
Golden Guard: Whatchu call me!?
Suddenly the cage started to shock the two of them.
Gerheade: *lifts her staff* Enough!
Willow looked at them in shock and worried. Soon the electricity stopped and the two fell on the ground with smoke coming off them.
Luke: *groans* Since when do plants conduct electricity?
Demon: Welcome to the Boiling Isles, where things that make sense in your world doesn't make sense in this one.
Gerheade: If you two don't want that to happen again, I suggest you stay quiet.
The two sat up in pain knowing what she said wasn't a threat but a promise.
Demon: Ehh I say the shock was to light. Waiter, another 500 bolts!
Luke just sighed angrily as he looked around the forest. He saw fairies flying around doing their own thing: Shopping, watering plants, and spending time with family.
Luke: *smiles* It is a nice place.
Demon: It's sickening to me! Love, sunlight, watering plants! Disgusting! Where is the blood! The carnage! *starts falling dramatically* Help! I need death stat!
Luke: *rolls his eyes* (Ok drama queen.)
Golden guard: I can't believe the rumors were true after all.
Luke: *overhears this* Rumors?
Golden Guard: *looks at Luke* Don't tell me you didn't know?
Luke: Wouldn't be asking you if I did.
Golden Guard: *rolls his eyes* Typical. I thought you would be the smart person in your group.
Luke growled at the guard for that comment.
Demon: Easy their Mr. guard. Luke might appear harmless and moody, but if you keep pushing his buttons you will trigger his killer bloodless... Wait nevermind keep going.
Golden Guard: Well if you must know, rumors say deep in the forest of dreams, they claim to be a certain forest where fairies live. Not just little fairies, fairies that are the size of witches themselves. They are said to have very powerful magic powers.
Luke: Stronger than Belos?
Golden Guard: Psh! Yea right! Lord Belos is the strongest witch of them all.
Demon: *tries to hold in a chuckle* Pft! He didn't seem that strong when he battled the dragon slayer.
Luke: Last I checked, didn't get his ass kicked by Y/N?
Golden Guard: *offended* That dragon slayer only got lucky! Lord Belos would have easily won!
Demon: Pft! Still got laid out though! Also found his trigger.
Luke: Does Not change the fact that the mighty Emperor still lost.
Golden Guard: *gets in Luke's face* Are you trying to pick a fight!?
Luke: *slams his head on his mask* I'm trying to finish what we started!
Demon: *chants* Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Before anything else was said the cage shocked again making the two fall down unconscious.
Gerheade: I tried to warn them.
As they continued walking Willow looked around and saw a lot of fairies staring at them. She couldn't make out what they were whispering about but she did hear them say "what are outsiders doing here". To try to calm her nerves she looked over at Gerheade.
Willow: Sooo... This is a nice forest.
Gerheade: *ignores her*...
Willow: I uhh like your outfit.
Gerheade:...
Willow let out a sigh. She felt one of the guards pat her shoulder.
"Don't take it personally. She's like this to everyone."
Willow: Oh I see. A-Also is there a reason I'm not in the cage?
"Well your magic is more pure in a way. It's almost similar to us fairies."
Willow: O-Oh really?
*nods his head* "Yep." *looks at Luke and Golden Guard* Those two on the other hand; *points to Luke* His magic is a lot sinister *points to the Golden Guard* And his is kinda strange."
Willow: Strange?
Gerheade: Gordon...
Gordon: *flinches* Y-Yes Ms. Gerheade!?
Gerheade: If you continue to associate with the outsiders, I will throw you in that cage.
Gordon: Y-Yes ma'am. *whispers to Willow* Sorry..
Willow just nods her head and continues to walk. Soon they made it to the center of the forest where the big tree was. As they were about to walk up to it a voice stopped them.
?: *offscreen* Ah your back!
Everyone looked up and saw a fairy boy flying down to them. He had a smaller body with a pair of wings. He has a youthful appearance with what seems to be eyeliner liner periorbital his eyes. He wears a long sleeved shirt accessorized with a sunflower-like collar, black, tight-like pants with black, pointy-toed shoes.
Gerheade: Helbram. Did you abandon your post again?
Helbram: Pst. No, of course not.
Demon: *press on his hand* Pressing X to doubt.
Helbram: *puts his hands behind his head* What makes you think that?
Gerheade didn't say anything. She walked up to him and pulled down on his collar. On his neck was a bunch of kiss marks.
Demon: Damn! Bro was busy!
Gerheade: Just a hunch.
Helbram: *pulls back and fixes his collar with a blush on his face* Hey! That was highly unnecessary.
Gerheade: *sighs deeply* Do I have to remind you that you are supposed to guard the fairy queen's entrance?
Helbram: From what? If you haven't guessed, nobody has tried anything for over 1000 years! And besides, the queen has locked herself in there for awhile!
Willow: She has?
Helbram: *notices Willow* Oh hello~ *walks up to her with a smirk* And who might you be my lovely flower~
Demon: Oooooh sh*t. Luke, someone is making moves on your girl.
Willow: *lightly blushes* O-Oh I'm-
Before Willow could finish, Helbram was smacked in the back of the head by Gerheade.
Helbram: *holds his head in pain* OW! *looks at Gerheade* What the heck!?
Gerheade: If you have time to flirt then focus on your job.
The group started to walk past Helbram, as the young fairy rubbed his head. He looked over at Willow and did a "call me" gesture with his hand. Willow slightly blushed as Luke just glared at him.
Demon: *smug face* Jealous~
Luke: *mutters* Shut up.
The group stopped at the entrance at the large tree. Gerheade traced a green circle as the bark of the tree slowly started to open. Once it was fully open the group started to enter. They slowly started to walk down the hallway. Soon the group made it to a giant chamber, inside were giant barks for pillars, paintings, and vines around the wall and ceiling. There were guards around the place. The group walked to the center of the room. Using her magic, Gerheade made the cage Luke and the golden guard were in disappear, but still had vines around the arms forcing them to grunt and kneel.
Gerheade: Kneel before her majesty!
The guards slowly kneel down on one leg and carry their weapons in one hand. Willow notices this and kneels down as well. Slowly a giant pink petal appeared below ground with roots connected to it. Slowly the peedles started to open revealing a young fairy girl; a slender pale-skinned female with a very petite frame. She has neck-length blonde hair, big golden eyes and long, thin eyelashes. She wore a single white one-piece strapless dress tied together with a butterfly knot at the back. It also had long detached sleeves.
Gerheade: *raises her head* Princess Elaine.
Luke: (Princess?)
Demon: *taps his fingers on his chin* You know when people do those entrances, do they just sit there for a long time waiting for this to happen, or was this just very convenient?
Elaine: *slowly starts to float to Gerheade* Gerheade.
Gerheade: *slowly floats* Yes, my queen?
Elaine: *looks at the three behind her* Who are these individuals?
Gerheade: *turns to them* My lady, we found these intruders disturbing the peace of the fairy kingdom.
Demon: Objection your honor! *cross his arms* We were simply defending ourselves from that crazy maniac! It's not our fault a few people and buildings got caught in the crossfire! *points to the golden guard* I say he is guilty and should be sentenced to death!
Luke: *heavy sigh* (What is wrong with you?)
Elaine slowly starts to float to the trio. She first floats to Willow and looks at the plant girl.
Willow: *nervous* O-Oh um.. I-Its very nice to meet you your-
Elaine: *looks into her eyes* Your magic is pure.
Willow: *surprise* ...!
Elaine: It's almost like that of a child, but beneath that lies a strong and powerful witch. Almost like an oak tree. But it hides behind self doubt.
Elaine hovers away from Willow, leaving the girl a little sad.
Demon: Esh. Tell us how you really feel.
Next she makes it to the golden guard.
Elaine: Why is this one's helmet still on?
"O-Oh umm well we tried to take it off but he would always fight back. Gerheade was going to take it off but we feared that she was going to kill him."
Gerheade didn't say anything, just crossed her arms. Elaine turned her attention towards the golden guard and looked into his eyeholes.
Golden guard: Uhhh..
Elaine: Strange. I don't sense any magic energy coming from you.
This caused the Golden guard to glare at the elf queen.
Demon: *writing on a notepad* "Doesn't like when you comment on his lack of magic power" *finishes writing* Ok Luke, once we get out of here, I have a list of things we could use to piss him off. Although if he dies we'll do it at his grave.
Elaine: Yet your soul... It cries for being needed.
Golden guard: *breath caught but glares at Elaine*... You don't know what your talking abo-
Before he could finish vines wrapped around the Golden guards throat. The guard was getting choked out by Gerheade's spell and was close to passing out until Elaine raised her hand. Glaring at the Golden guard the young fairy girl did as she was instructed and released her spell. The vines around the guard vanished as he was panting heavily. Elaine flew over to the final person, Luke.
Demon: Oh boy our turn! I wonder what she is going to see?
Elaine looks Luke in the eyes. But she noticed something off about Luke.
Elaine: Your magic is... Interesting.
Luke: Uhh..
Elaine: Tell me: What are you doing in the forest?
Demon: *rubs his chin* Hmmmmm *raises his hand* On the one hand, if we tell the truth we could, and I mean "could", get out of here scotch free *raises his other hand* But on the other hand, if we lie, we could be put into prison, forced to break out, and battle a lot of fairy knights... LUKE LIE PLEASE!
Luke: *sighs* My friend and I came here accidentally. We were trying to look for some inspiration for her to grow her own plant. *nudges to Golden Guard* That annoying guy.
Golden Guard: Hey!
Luke: Just came along.
Demon:... One thing. I asked for one thing Luke.
Eliane didn't say anything at first. Instead her eyes started to glow, getting Luke and the demon's attention.
Luke/Demon: Uhh/Uh-oh.
Suddenly everything started to go dark. Slowly Eliane opened her eyes and noticed she was in an empty void. She looked around confused on what was going on until she heard music starting to play.
(Song used: Soul Eater-Demon jazz)
Eliane looked over and saw a red open door. She tried to float but noticed she couldn't. So instead she slowly started to walk over to the door. Once she made it she looked inside and saw the black room. Curious, she tried to enter but felt something that started to surround her hand. Quickly she pulled back and looked at her hand and noticed nothing had changed. She looked back inside the room and saw it was still the same. She started to question if she should enter the room or not. But she had a feeling she couldn't leave if she didn't. Gaining her courage she walked through the door, and felt the same sensation as before. Once she made it all the way inside, she almost lost her balance but was able to stop herself from falling. By doing that she heard a noise.
Click
She looked around to find the sound, but didn't see anything or anyone. Once she took a step the sound happened again.
Click
She looked down and saw here whole outfit had changed. She wore a fancier revealing black gown along with red shoes out of red leaves.
Eliane: How did-
?: *offscreen* Hey.
Eliane's eyes widened as she turned and saw Luke leaning on the wall.
Luke: What are you doing in my mind?
Eliane: Y-Your mind?
Luke: Mind, soul. Whatever you want to call it. I want to know what you-
Demon: *slams one of the doors open* LUKE!
Luke: *covers his eyes* Oh Titan damn it.
Demon: You didn't tell me we were having company!
Luke: *glares at the demon* You knew she was coming before I did!
Demon: That doesn't mean I knew she was coming into this room!
Luke: What the- That doesn't make any sense!
Demon: Again, Boiling Isles. Remember?
Eliane started at the two.
Eliane: Fascinating.
Luke/Demon: Hm?
Eliane: Your soul. It has two different personalities; *looks at Luke* One that is moody
Luke: *offended* OH COME ON!
Demon: HAHAHAHAHAHA! I really need to start keeping track of all the people that call you moody now!
Eliane: *looks at the demon* And one that is-
Demon: Chaotic *slowly walks over to Eliane* Crazy *gets in her face* Bloodthirsty *eyes starts to spiral with flames* One that would carve out my enemies' remains and feast on their rooting carcasses.
It was a moment of silence with a frightened Eliane and facepalming Luke.
Demon... *slowly brings up a tea cup* excellent coffee maker?
The three were now sitting down, Eliane sitting on the couch and Luke and the demon were sitting in chairs. The black demon poured coffee into the teacups and relaxed.
Demon: So great fairy queen, why have you infiltrated our mind without our knowledge or consent?
The demon says all this with a smile, a little too big of a smile. This smile made Elianes whole body shiver, knowing the wrong answer would very much be the end of her.
Eliane: I-I was only trying to make sure that *looks at Luke* He was telling the truth. I had no idea I would enter your mind. I-I'm sorry.
Demon: Oh great, that makes it better.
Luke: Anyway, if I had to guess people don't come to this place very much.
Eliane: *nods her head* Yes, not ever since the dragon war.
Demon: I sense a story is coming!
Eliane: Long ago, the fairy forest was once welcome to all races; Witches, Demons, even dragons. Although there was a lot of distrust in the dragons, they were still welcome... But then everything changed.
Demon: If I had to guess, dragons.
Eliane: *nods* Yes
The scene changes to a destroyed fairy forest. The trees and plants had fire surrounding them and spreading, and there were a bunch of fairy bodies bloody and dead on the ground. A few fairy guards, with blood dripping from their heads, held their weapons as they battle a giant dragon. The dragon roared at the fairies as the fairy unleashed a battle cry.
Eliane: The dragons were ruthless creatures, and killed many of our people. We were almost brought to extinction... Until
A scene showed an older fairy boy that slowly descended down onto the battlefield. He raised his finger and drew a spell circle. Out of the circle came a spear that twirled around the boy. The boy pointed his finger, and at such high speed, the spear pierce through the dragon's skull, killing him instantly.
Eliane: The great fairy King saved our people.
Demon: A holy savior.
Luke: Wait then where is he?
Eliane looked sadly. Luke notices this and starts regretting asking.
Demon: He's dead isn't he?
Luke: Dude!
Demon: What!? Her expression gives it away!
Eliane: *sighs* Yes..
The scene cuts over to the injured fairy King. He held his bloody left arm in pain as he panted heavily. Around him were tons of dragons as they growled at the fairy King.
Eliane: Even the great fairy King's power wasn't enough to defeat the dragons. Having no other option, our King used a forbidden spell to save our people.
Charging up the last bit of his magic energy, the fairy King clapped his hands together, as golden magic surrounded him. The sounds of bells could be heard as a giant spell circle appeared overhead the dragons.
Fairy King: I invoke... Fairy Law.
A bright light shines on the dragons as they all scream in pain. Their bones and bones instantly disintegrate, leaving nothing but ashes.
Eliane: This spell can only be cast if the caster uses it on an enemy, however it is only designed to be used against one target. If used on multiple then the caster can suffer serious consequences.
The great fairy King is seen covered in dust as his hair is now white. He pants heavily, realizing the drawback of using a powerful spell.
Eliane: *flies to the fairy King* Big Brother!
Demon: Wait!? He was your brother!?
Luke: Let her continue with the story!
Demon: Ok. Ok.
Eliane makes it to her brother and sees the terrible condition he is in. Terrified, she quickly tries to heal him.
Eilian: Big brother, you need to rest! Let's hurry and get you to-
Fairy King: Eliane...
Eliane: *looks at her big brother in worry*...
Fairy King: More are... Coming... I don't... Have enough... Strength to use... Fairy law again... But I... I have to... Cast save... Everyone...
Eliane: *tears start to fall* Please Don't! Big Brother! If you use any more magic... Y-You'll...
The fairy king gently pats his little sister's head. Eliane looked up at him and saw a kind smile he was giving her. He was telling her that everything will be alright.
Eliane: *hugs her brother tightly* Please big brother...
Fairy King: *holds his sister* I'm sorry sis... I have to protect everyone... A king's duty is to his people... I have to do what I can to protect them... Even you sis.
Tears continue to fall from Eliane's face. The fairy King gently wiped the tears off her face, trying to cheer his sister up. But the moment was interrupted when they heard loud roars. They turned and saw an army of dragons, flying over to them. Getting serious the King floated over to the center of the forest and started to trace a giant spell circle. Once the circle was completed a giant circle appeared below the whole forest. The KIng turned to his sister and gave her a kind smile as the sister looked at her brother with a sad look. Turning over the King, focus the last bit of his magic in the circle and a bright light engulf the whole forest.
Eliane: Using the last bit of his magic, my brother was able to teleport the whole forest into a different realm in the isles.
Luke: Different Realm?
Eliane: *nods her head* Yes. The fairy forest exists in a separate realm, we are only connected to the isles by a certain gate.
Demon: Oooooh that gate we first saw.
Eliane: Correct. Only by the gate can a person enter or exit the forest.
Luke: I see..
Once the light slowly started to die down, Eliane opened her eyes and saw a clear blue sky with a sun shining down. She looked around and saw the damaged forest was slowly starting to be brought back to life. She also saw some of the fairy knights be healed by the power of the fairy tree's roots. As she stared at this, her eyes widened as she turned to her savior.
Eliane: Brother!
Elianes eyes widened in horror and sadness. The great fairy King's body slowly started to fade away in tiny balls of light. The young fairy couldn't hold back her tears as she held onto her brother, crying her eyes out. The fairy King smiled weakly as he gently wrapped his arms around her sister, enjoying the last few moments with her. Slowly the fairy King's body disappeared into balls of Light as Eliane was left alone, crying in the air.
Eliane slowly started to cry, remembering her brother's sacrifice brought tears to her eyes. The two onlookers stared at the crying fairy King. One of them felt sorry and remorse for having her to explain such a painful memory... The other.
Demon: *blocks his mouth with his back hand and whispers* Hey uh Luke, I'm not good with this type of thing. Can you uhh you know, cheer her up?
Luke: *whispers* What?
Demon: *whispers* I'm a demon, not an angel.
Luke just sighs as he looks over at the crying fairy Queen.
Luke: Hey we're sorry we made you have to tell that painful story.
The demon raised his finger and was going to say something but Luke cut him off with a glare.
Eliane: *wipes her tears* N-No it's fine *looks at them* I'm sorry.
Luke: It's fine really.
Demon: Soooo, After that happened, I'm guessing the fairies went into hiding.
Eliane: Many of us did, but some of us ventured outside of the forest into the boiling Isles.
Demon: That raises another question: How come some of you are the sizes of bugs and others are the size of witches?
Eliane: That's all thanks to the fairy tree. The tree gives birth to us fairies, taking different shapes and sizes. It also decides our magical power as well.
Demon: So the tree chooses favorites.
Eliane: *sweat drops* Uhhh If you want to put it that way.
Luke: *facepalms* Anyway, what about that mist in the forest?
Eliane: That mist is the last remains of my brother.
The two looked at her blankly.
Eliane: Though my brother lost his body, his will and soul still cares to protect the forest. The mist is the result of that. The mist is used to keep people from ever entering or finding the fairy forest... It also does kind of make unwanted intruders wander around for years.
Demon: I wonder if he keeps the bones in storage somewhere.
Luke: So going based off you said, your brother allowed us to enter the forest?
Eliane: I guess?
Luke/Demon: You guess?
Eliane: *sighs sadly* Ever Since my brother's death, I isolated myself from my people. All the decisions come from the great fairy tree.
Demon: So you're letting an old root in the ground decide the fate of your people?
Luke: *glares at him* Seriously?
Demon: *holds his hands up* Just saying.
Eliane: *sighs* No he's right. I should be helping my people... But..
Eliane looks down in sadness. The demon turns to Luke and nudges his head. Luke let out a sigh, stood up, and approached the saden fairy queen.
Luke: *hand on shoulder* I understand this is a lot of strain on you, but you should know you're not alone. Your people are there for you because you need it the most.
Eliane looked up at Luke and was touched by his kind words. She couldn't help but smile a bit.
Demon: *disgusted* Uck! Love emotions! It's even more sickening in the black room!
Luke: *sighs* Let's go before he vomits.
Eliane: *nods her head* Right.
The two got up and started heading out.
Demon: *gets up and waves* Bye, have a good time! Don't lead your people to their deaths!
Eliane let out a jump from that comment while Luke put a hand on her shoulder.
Luke: Ignore him. He's always like this.
The two left, leaving the demon by himself.
Demon: *slowly sips his coffee*... Still think we should have killed her.
Back in the fairy world
Both Eliane and Luke's eyes returned to normal.
Eliane: *slowly back away* Free them.
Gerheade: *shocked* B-But my que-
Eliane: Gerheade.
Gerheade stopped talking when Eliane looked at her.
Eliane: I said free them.
Gerheade went quiet for a bit. She then sighed and activated her spell. The vines around the three arms retreated back into the ground, freeing them. All of them messaged their arms from the strain the vines had on them.
Eliane: *floats in front of the three* I'm sorry for the rude behavior.
Luke: It's fine. Not the first time someone wanted to kill us.
Willow: Luke!
Luke: *raises his hands* What!?
Willow: *looks at Eliane* Sorry for his behavior. He's just very... Luke.
Luke: Why was that more of an insult?
Demon: Cause it is.
This made both the girls giggle from Lukes reaction. Meanwhile the Golden guard was looking around. He noticed that the security was more lax, and was planning to escape and tell the Emperor what he had founded. But before he could do that he noticed he couldn't move. He looked down and saw he was surrounded by vines.
Eliane: *looks over* Gerheade!
Gerheade: Forgive me my queen, but it seemed that one was trying to plan an escape.
The golden guards' eyes widened when Gerheade said that. He couldn't believe that he was found out.
Luke: *whispers to Willow* We could just leave him here.
Willow: *whispers* We can't do that!
Luke: *raises his eyebrow* And why not?
Willow: It wouldn't be right.
Demon: Has she forgotten that the man tried to kill us before?
Luke: You do realize that this is the same guy that's been trying to arrest us right?
Willow: I know but *looks over at the tide up guard* it just doesn't seem right to leave him here.
Luke wanted to argue but knew that wouldn't get him anywhere.
Willow: Um Ms. Gerheade.
Gerheade turned towards Willow.
Willow: C-Can you let our friend go please?
Luke: Our friend?
Demon: Guess she is doing the whole turn enemy into friend thing... I don't agree with it either.
Gerheade: *narrows her eyes at Willow* Give me one good reason.
Eliane: Gerheade.
Gerheade: With all do respect my queen, outsiders are forbition in the fairy kingdom. *glares at the golden guard* Especially one that serves under Belos.
Golden guard: What's your problem with the Emperor!?
The guard felt the vines tighten around his body, making him grunt in pain.
Gerheade: That man is nothing but a tyrant. He cares little about the Isles let alone our Kingdom.
Golden Guard: *angry* You're wrong! The emperor only seeks to make the world a better place!
Gerheade: Seems like the Emperor has corrupted your mind as well.
Golden Guard: Whatcha say!?
Eliane: *yells* ENOUGH!
Everyone went silent from Eliane's loud burst.
Demon:... I sense a lot of tension in the room.
Willow: *walks up to Eliane* Um Ms. Fairy Queen. I have a suggestion. Maybe if he sees your kingdom he might change his mind.
Eliane looked over at Willow and thought about her suggestion. She looked over at Gerheade, who didn't like that idea. The fairy queen frowned and then looked over at Luke. The half demon sighed and nodded his head, knowing that saying anything else would probably make the situation worse.
Eliane: *looks at Willow* Very well. We'll show the Kingdom. *looks over at Gerheade* Right?
Gerheade looked at her queen in disbelief. She wanted to argue about it, but her loyalty to the queen prevented her from doing so.
Gerheade: *heavy sigh* Only if he stays restrained.
Eliane smiled and nodded her head. The golden guard was having mix feelings; on the one hand he could see what the fairy Kingdom has, but on the other hand he still had a mission to complete. He didn't have time to walk around and look at the forest. He needed to find a way to escape and report to Belos.
In the forest of dreams
Footsteps were heard in the heavy mist. As a shadow figure started to appear.
?: Deep inside the forest of dreams, lives a forest where all fairies in the Boling Isles are born. The great fairy forest. Though it is said to be a rumor, the fairy forest is hidden inside a great mist, created by their Fairy King to keep it safe from outsiders. *smirks* However, you can't keep something secret forever.
They stopped and were standing in front of the same gate Luke and the others saw.
?: At last, I found it.
The figure reached out his hand and opened the door. A bright light started to shine.
Back in the fairy forest
The group was outside of the great fairy tree.
?: *offscreen* Hey!
The group looked up and saw Helbram flying down towards them.
Eliane: *happy* Helbram!
Helbram: *lands in front of them* Well well, someone finally decided to come out of her peddle.
Eliane just chuckled nervously.
Helbram: *smiles brightly and waves his hand* Aah I'm just kidding Eliane.
Suddenly Gerheade hit him in the head.
Gerheade: That's queen Eliane.
Helbram: *rubs his head in pain* Oww! That hurt!
Demon: This is really giving me a sense of deja vu.
Helbram: *gets up and rubs his head* Anyway, what are you guys up to?
Eliane: I was going to show them around all the great places in the great fairy Kingdom.
Helbram: *eyes start to shine* Oooohhh~ Let me be the guide. I know all the best places.
Gerheade: Let me guess, you found these places by slacking off.
Helbram: *starts to sweat drop* N-Noooo... Of course not.
Eliane: *giggles* That would be wonderful Helbram. *looks at the three* Would that be fine with the rest of you?
Willow: That would be nice.
Luke: I'm fine with it.
Everyone looked at the golden guard. He just turned his head in a not caring way. This caused Gerheade to tighten the vines around him.
Golden Guard: *choking* A-Alright!
Gerheade eased up the pressure but still kept the guard in vines. The group just sweat dropped on what just happened.
Helbram: A-Anyway *looks at Gerheade* Want to join us?
Normally Gerheade would say yes; one for guarding the queen, and to make sure the golden guard wouldn't try to escape. But there was a little pain in her that she had to deal with.
Gerheade: Forgive me my queen, but I have other matters to attend to.
Gerheade started to fly away, leaving the group. Eliane looked down sadly, feeling like it was her fault that Gerheade was acting this way.
Helbram: Aah don't worry about her Eliane. She's been like this for a while now. She'll come around eventually.
Eliane looked up at Helbram and smiled from his kind words.
Helbram: *looks at the three* Alright! Are you three ready for a tour around fairy forest!?
Willow had a look of joy as she nodded her head, Luke just shrugged his shoulders not really caring, and the golden guard just toward his head to the side still contemplating.
Helbram: *whispers to Willow* Are those two always like this?
Willow: *whispers* Mostly Luke.
Helbram nodded his head and started to lead the group in the forest.
With Gerheade
Gerheade was in one of the training grounds in the fairy forest. She summoned large vines that pierce through one of the trees. She started to pant heavily realizing she had spent a lot of magic energy, as the surrounding trees were also covered in vines. Once she regained her breath she couldn't get rid of this aching feeling in her chest. Ever since Luke and the others came into the fairy world, the fairy people seem to be happier. Not only that, it's been almost 100 years since Queen Eliane left her pedal. As much as she wanted to join in on, there was a part of her that couldn't accept it.
Gerheade: *touches her covered eye with her hand*...
?: There you are.
Gerheade didn't bother to turn around since she knew whose voice that belonged to.
Gerheade: What do you want, Helbram?
Helbram: *lands behind her* Figured I find you here. You always come here when you need to vent, or to keep your skills from getting rusty.
Gerheade: I asked, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be giving those mortals a tour around the place?
Helbram: *hands behind his head* Eh, Already took a look around the place. Besides, Eliane wanted me to check up on you.
Gerheade: At least you can follow simple instructions.
Helbram noticed Gerheade tone. He's usually used to her harsh tone but this time was different.
Helbram: *sighs* Ok, what's wrong with you?
Gerheade: *stays silent with her back facing him*...
Helbram: Come on, staying quiet isn't going to help.
Gerheade: Maybe you have forgotten that we set laws in the fairy Kingdom. Outsiders are unwelcome here.
Helbram: Yea well, *cross his arms* if we continue to let laws dictate our lives, we'll continue to be trapped in this place.
Gerheade: *looks at him with an angry expression* So you're saying that we should live in a world with no laws or rules! A place like that would be madness!
Helbram: I'm saying stop using laws as an excuse for why you are truly angry.
Gerheade: Fine! You want to know why I'm so upset!? How can all of you accept people like them!? Have you forgotten the last time an outsider entered the forest!?
Helbram: *hesitant but speaks softly*... We made a mistake.
Gerheade: We!? WE!? I MADE THAT MISTAKE! I WAS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THE OUTSIDER HERE! AND FOR THAT IT CAUSED ME NOT ONLY SOME OF THE LIVES OF MY PEOPLE! BUT A SCAR TO FOREVER REMIND ME OF THAT EVENT!
Gerheade tears off the blindfold covering the right side of her eye. It showed a deep scar coming down from her closed right eye. Helbram looked at here with a sad expression
Helbram: ... Gerheade..
Gerheade: *touches her scar* I once believed the laws of outsiders prohibited from entering the forest were ridiculous. But after experience first hand of why the rule was in place, I now know that it was made to protect us. The experience is now engraved in my mind and soul. And I will do my duties to keep those laws in place to protect the fairy kingdom. *back faces him* If you're down here, then leave me alone.
Helbram:... *heavily sighs and begins to walk away but stops* I get that you don't like outsiders and I understand that. But it's thanks to them we are able to see Eliane outside again.
Gerheade grips her wand in anger.
Helbram: I understand that you are angry and disgusted by that thought... But *turns his head and looks at her* Don't let that be the reason that you can't see her again. A long time ago you two were close friends. Ever since she locked herself in her pedal, you isolated yourself from others as well. Right now you have a perfect opportunity to rekindle your friendship with her. Don't let the law stop you from having a good life, Gerheade.
Gerheade didn't say anything. She just stood there contemplating. With a deep sigh Helbram stretched his wings and flew off, leaving Gerheade by herself. Gerheade looks down the whole time and started to remember something in her past
A young Gerheade was floating around the Kingdom when she saw a man on the ground. She floats towards the man and helped him. She showed the man around the kingdom, offered him food, and played with the man. These were happy times... But slowly those happy times ended.
Fire was everywhere, many fairy people were injured. Gerheade was on the ground with her eye heavily wounded. Blood spilled on the ground as she stared at her attacker. It was the man she saved. He looked down at her with a bored but frowned expression. She looked into his red eyes and saw... Nothing... There was no emotion in his eyes. The man dropped the dagger and began to walk away. Not before saying one thing.
?: Foolish girl.
Gerheade: *touches her scar and shuts her eyes tight*... What am I supposed to do?
?: *offscreen* What indeed?
Gerheade eyes widened as she turned to the sound of the voice. She turns and sees a tall, lean young man. He had dark long and wavy purple hair, reaching his shoulders even whilst the majority is tied up in a very large ponytail. He was wearing a long, black jacket trimmed with a light-colored flame pattern; the lapels are a matching lighter color as well. The cuffs of his jacket are rolled up, revealing a light-colored inside, which contrasts the black outside of his jacket, and have a black line cutting through the edge of the fabric. The jacket itself is tattered and splits into four torn fabric segments at the tail. His light-colored pants that lay lazily over the top of rather plain black boots and have, on each leg, a seam running down the middle, as well as two pairs of buckles that form an X on the thigh and lower calf.
Seeing this person Gerheade quickly summoned some vines to attack the intruder, but the man dodged the attack and landed on the ground.
?: Now that was rude.
Gerheade: *points her staff at him* Who are you, outsider!?
?: *bows his head* My name is Mard Geer. It's a pleasure to meet y-
Before he could finish he was tight up in vines.
Mard Geer: *looks at the vines* Attack before I finished? You certainly are a rude one aren't you?
Geheade: I don't know how you got here, but outsiders are prohibited from entering the forest.
Mard Geer: So you plan on killing me without your majesty permission?
Gerheade: *shocked* How did you-
Mard Geer: From an outsider's perspective, it's clear to see that this is a kingdom, and in every kingdom there is a king or queen that rules over its people. Am I wrong?
Gerheade just glared at Mard Geer.
Mard Geer: Do you think your majesty would be happy about you passing judgment without her knowledge?
Gerheade: What do you know about our queen?
Mard Geer: I know what it is like to serve another. To do whatever it takes to make them happy. That is what you desire, isn't it?
Gerheade: Silences! You know nothing outsider!
Mard Geer: That might be true, but I can tell deep in your eyes that you desire the love and praise from your queen.
Gerheade slowly started to waver. The voice that was screaming at her to not listen to him, telling her that he is trying to trick her, was being overpowered by the one to continue to listen.
Mard Geer:... If you want I can help you.
Gerheade: And what exactly can you help me with?
Mard Geer: Haven't you noticed something off in your kingdom? A powerful evil has invaded your kingdom. If you leave things as they are now, then that evil will destroy everything you are trying to protect.
Gerheade started to do something thinking. The words the young man was speaking were true, ever since those other outsiders came into this place, the queen has been acting differently. She figures it must be that one kid dresses in black; Luke. Could he be the evil he was talking about? Gerheade looked at Mard Geer and slowly started to undo the vines around him. Stretching his body, Mard Geer looked over at Gerheade.
Gerheade: Tell me, what can I do?
Mard Geer only smiled as the camera zoomed out of the fairy Kingdom.
Back at the tree
The group was in the center as they talked to Eliane.
Willow: Thank you so much for showing us your kingdom.
Eliane: *shakes her head* No thank you. Without your help I wouldn't have been able to experience my people's growth.
Both Luke and Willow smiled from the queens statement.
Luke: *looks over at the guard* So, feeling better yet?
Golden Guard: I would feel better if these restraints weren't around me.
Luke: Well Goldey, can't really let you go off and tell this place to the emperor.
The golden guard just glared at Luke.
Eliane: *floats over* Please understand, we might know much about the Emperor, but we can tell whatever he wants from the Fairy forest can't be good.
The Golden guard just stayed quiet. He wanted to argue back, but by now it would only be a back and forth with them. For now he just had to wait until they let him go and make his move back to the emperor's castle. Suddenly the door opens revealing Helbram.
Eliane: Helbram!
Helbram: *looks up with a fake smile* Hey Eliane.
Eliane: *notices his smile* Are you ok?
Helbram: *stops the act and sighs* Just... Had a talk with Gerheade.
Eliane: *looks down sadly* Oh...
Helbram: *notices her sad look and pats her head* Aah but don't worry, knowing her, she will be back on her feet in no time.
Eliane looked up at Helbram and smiled a bit. The moment was interrupted when a loud rumbling was heard.
Willow: W-What was-
Suddenly vines shoot out of the door tackling everyone but Eliane.
Eliane: W-What the-
The group and the guards all groan in pain as the vines tangled around them.
Eliane: Everyone!
Eliane looked over and saw Gerheade slowly floating over to her.
Eliane: Gerheade!? What is the meaning of this!?
Gerheade:... Forgive me Eliane. But it's for the safety of the fairy kingdom... *mutters* And yours.
Eliane: Safety!? You call *gestures to everything* This safety!?
Gerheade: Eliane please understand; The law states that outsiders are prohibited from entering the forest. No exceptions.
Eliane: Those laws were placed doing the dragon war!
Gerheade: So we are supposed to ignore said rules from our fairy King!?
Eliane: N-No I...
Suddenly Helbram broke free from his restarians and landed in between Eliane and Gerheade.
Eliane: H-Helbram?
Helbram: I always knew you were a stickler for rules, but to go this far! Have you completely lost your mind!?
Gerheade: You are the ones that have lost your mines. I'm simply in forcing the law, the law you people refuse to follow.
Helbram: And you're doing that by attacking the palace!? Open your eyes Gerheade, all your doing is showing we live in a corrupt society! A society that keeps up locked in a cage! Just like it's doing to you!
Gerheade: *wavers for a bit but yells* SILENCES!
Vines shoot up from the ground heading straight for Eliane and Helbram. Quick on his feet, Helbram grabbed Eliane and flew away from the thrones to the palace chair.
Eliane: T-Thank you.
Helbram: Don't mention it.
The two looked over to their friend and saw in her eyes; hatred, despair, and loneliness.
Eliane: Gerheade.
Helbram: Eliane... Forgive me.
Eliane: *looks at Helbram* W-What are you going to do?
Helbram walked a few feet forward and summoned a spear.
Helbram: *points his spear* It would seem mer words aren't enough to stop you. If that's the case, *holds his spear* I will have to use force.
Gerheade:... *glares at Helbram* Come and try.
Eliane looked at the two in worry. She couldn't believe her best friends were really going to fight each other like this. She wanted to do something to stop this, but she couldn't think of anything. Before the two were about to clash a voice was heard.
?: As much as I would like to see this.
STAB!
A giant vine piece not only through Gerheade but also through Helbram as well. Blood started to drip from their mouths as the vine pulled away from the two. Helbram coughed up blood and fell to his knees, using his spear for support.
Eliane: *floats over to Helbram* HELBRAM!
Suddenly the sound of footsteps were heard. Everyone looked over at the entrance and as soon as the person set one foot in the room, a deadly aura surrounded the place.
Demon: Aahhh! Yes! The deadly aura is here!
The person revealed to be Mard Geer.
Mard Geer: *smirks* Time is short.
Helbram: *coughs up more blood* (D-Damn it! I guess I really have gotten rusty over the years! In the old days, I would have been able to dodge that attack.) *looks up at his attacker* (Not only that I would have been able to sense that guy's presents.)
Gerheade: *Weakly* W-Why...?
Mard Geer: *looks over at Gerheade* Hm?
Gerheade: W-Why... Are you... Doing this...? I-I thought...
Mard Geer: *kneels in front of her* Oh you magic creatures are so adorable you know that? Almost like a little doggy wanting attention.
Gerheade:...
Mard Geer: *stands up* It's so sad. And here I thought manipulating you would be harder. But I guess when you are able to catch someone at their lowest point it becomes easy. Always hear what you want to hear with no regard to reason.
Demon: Boy ain't that the truth.
Luke: (Who's side are you on?)
Demon: *mocking Luke* Would you believe me if I say no one?
Luke just grunted as he turned his attention towards Mard Geer. The man slowly started to walk over to Eliane and Helbram. Helbram pointed his spear at Mard Geer.
Helbram: *struggles* Get... *coughs up some blood* Back...
Mard Geer: You are a tough one aren't you?
Mard Geer slowly lifts up his hand and a giant force sends Helbram flying across the room crashing into a wall. Helbram's body slowly fell on the ground, as his eyes were pure white, showing he was unconscious.
Mard Geer: But a pest is still a pest.
Eliane: HELBRAM!
Eliane tried to fly over to her friend but was wrapped around by vines. The vines turned her body to Mard Geer who smiled at the fairy queen.
Mard Geer: Now then back to the matter at hand *looks at Elina* Hello Fairy Queen.
Eliane looked at her attacker with fear. She could tell deep in his eyes, in his aura, there was malicious intent. But before anything else could happen Luke had broken out of the vines, dug inside his shadow, and pulled out his blade. He charged at Mard Geer with amazing speed, and tried to chop his head clean off, but before his blade could reach, vines stretched around and trapped Luke in place.
Mard Geer: *looks at Luke* Ah, the half demon half human that defeated Red tooth. Up close I can see why my master is so fond of you.
Luke: *struggles to break out of the vines*...
Mard Geer: However, I have no business with you right now *slowly lifts up his hand* Begone.
A giant wave hit Luke, sending him crashing through a wall, outside of the palace and away from the tree.
Willow: LUKE!
Mard Geer: Now that all the distractions are out of the way.
Eliane: Who are you!? How did you get here!?
Mard Geer: My name is Mard Geer, and how I got here is simple. Though you fairies security is very lacking.
Eliane: For you to even get through the forest of dreams is impossible!
Mard Geer: Oh my dear, even you should know that mist can't last forever.
Eliane eyes widen
Mard Geer: Now then for why I'm here... *goes up to Eliane's ear and whispers* Where is the fountain of youth?
Eliane: *eyes widen*... H-How do you know about that?
Mard Geer: *backs away* So the rumors are true.
Eliane: HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!?
The vines around started to tighten making her whimper in pain.
Mard Geer: Mind your tone. The answer is simple. Some of your fairy creatures journey outside of the forest and some of them have the unfortunate luck to run into me. It was fun hearing them beg for the pain to stop.
Eliane: *looks at Mard Geer with hatred and fear*...
Mard Geer: *grabs Eliane by the chin* Now then tell me, where is the fountain of youth?
Eliane remained silent as she glared at Mard Geer.
Mard Geer: Want to do it the hard way, huh?
Suddenly the vines around Eliane started to tighten around her, causing her to scream in pain.
Mard Geer: Fine by me.
The others watched in terror of what was happening to the queen. Unable to continue to watch, Willow's eyes started to glow green. This got the attention of the golden guard.
Golden Guard: (W-What the-)
Willow: THAT'S ENOUGH!
The vines around Willow ripped off, showing that she was free.
Mard Geer: *looks at Willow in shock*...!
Willow jumped down, raised her fist, and tried to punch Mard Geer in the face. Quick on his feet, Mard Geer brought his arms forward and attempted to block the attack. Once Willow's punches landed, Mard Geer was shocked by the witches girl's strength.
Mard Geer: *eyes widen* (What the hell!?)
Soon Mard Geer was sent flying into a nearby wall. Quickly Willow drew a spell circle and a giant plant with 4 eyes and vines around it, roared and charged at Mard Geer. The young man looked shocked as he was hit dead on by the plant monster sending him out of the palace. Panting heavily, Willow's eyes turned back to normal as she looked over to the queen.
Willow: Queen Eliane!
Willow rushed over to the queen and freed her from the vines with her magic. She laid Eliane down on the ground.
Willow: A-Are you ok?
Eliane looked up at the girl and was amazed by her strength. She knew the plant girl had some kind of hidden strength but wasn't expecting that. Meanwhile the golden guard was beyond shocked from the power the young plant girl possessed. Before anything else happened the guards eyes widened.
Golden guard: BEHIND YOU!
Willow's eyes widened when she felt someone behind her. She slowly turned around and saw Mard Geer with dead vines around him and a few cuts and bruises on him as well.
Mard Geer: *death glare* You little brat.
Willow's eyes started to delight. The amount of murderous intent coming from him made her frost.
Mard Geer: *lifts his hand as curse energy started to form* Die.
Before Mard Geer could launch his attack, something crashed into the tree. Mard Geer turned and saw Luke with his blade above his head and black magic surrounding his sword. Luke brought his sword down as a giant wave of black magic came out sending Mard Geer flying out of the tree.
Luke: *lands on beside Willow and looks at her* Are you ok?
Willow: Y-Yea.. Thank you.
Luke: Don't mention it. *starts to walk off* Willow take care of the others. I'll deal with this guy.
Willow: *gets up* W-Wait! I-I can help too!
Luke looked over at Willow and saw her body shaking. He knew she was scared and didn't want to put her in danger.
Luke: *looks forward* Take care of the others Willow.
Luke dashed off and went to fight Mard Geer.
The center of Fairy Kingdom
Mard Geer crashed into the center of the fairy kingdom, creating a dust cloud.
"W-What was that!?
Mard Geer: *slowly starts to get up and pats the dust off* Damn that brat.
?: So...
Mard Geer looks up and sees Luke slowly approaching him.
Luke: *points his blade at him* Ready for round 2?
Mard Geer: Don't get so full of yourself *holds his hands out* Mortal.
Suddenly thorne vines appear from the ground heading straight for Luke. Quickly Luke avoided the vines by dodging and blocking it with his sword. Luke ends up riding on the vines in the air and starts sliding down on it. More throne vines started to appear, Luke used his blade to slash but the vines would bounce off the sword.
Luke: (They might be vines but they're as hard as steel.)
Demon: Like someone we know.
Luke continues to slide down the vines to his opponent. Mard Geer pointed two fingers close to Luke. A rose appeared on one of the vines shocking Luke. The rose suddenly exploded making a huge explosion. Thinking that his opponent was dead, Mard Geer smirked.
Mard Geer: What a shame. Guess he was all take and no- *eyes widen* ...!
Suddenly a shadow slash came out of the dust cloud. Quickly Mard Geer summoned a thorn vine cage to protect himself from the slash attack. This created another explosion that engulfed Mard Geer.
Back at the tree
Using her magic Willow was busy healing up all the injured fairy's that were attacked by Mard Geer. Suddenly an explosion was heard, making her turn her head and look out.
Willow: *worried* Luke.
Even though Luke told her not to worry about him, the little plant girl couldn't help but worry. She didn't want to sit here and do nothing, she wanted to be out there and help her friend. Before she could do that she saw the golden guard grabbing his staff and started to walk out.
Willow: Where are you going?
Golden guard: *turns towards Willow* Obviously reporting to the Emperor.
Willow: What!? *gets up* After everything that's happened, you still are going to tell the emperor about the forest!
Golden guard: *gestures around the place* Look around! Obviously we can't handle this alone! That is why I'm going to bring the Emperor here to help us!
Willow: Who knows how long that will take! By the time you get back, everyone here will probably be dead!
Golden Guard; Then what would you rather do!? Go out there and get yourself killed!?
Willow just glared at the guard. That comment he made hurt the plant girl. It almost sounded like he was calling her weak.
Gerheade: Typical outsider...
The two turned around and saw the bandage Gerheade.
Gerheade: You all are the same... Only care about yourself... And nobody else... You would see an entire race die... Before you do anything... About it...
The two looked at the Fairy guard in sadness. The golden guard wanted to say something but as he thought of his past attempt to escape, he realized she was speaking the truth. Just then he saw Willow walking past him.
Golden guard: *turns around* Where are you going?
Willow: To help my friend.
Golden guard: *Bewild* Are you crazy?! You are going to get yourself killed!
Willow: *continues to walk* I would rather die trying than do nothing!
Golden Guard: Stop!
The golden guard tries to grab her arm but Willow turns around with her eyes glowing green and traps him in vines. The guard struggled to break free but stopped when Willow was in front of him.
Willow: If you want to run away like a coward then go ahead. But I refused to continue and stand here while other people get hurt.
Willow released the golden guard from his restraints, and continued to walk out. She stopped and said one more word to him.
Willow: You swore to protect the innocent but instead you run away and let others fight for you.
Using her vines Willow left, going to where Luke was. The golden guard looks down in shame, hearing the plant girl's words replay in his head over and over again. He tightened his hands on his staff and looked up.
Back with Luke
The dust started to settle and Mard Geer's vine cage had been sliced open.
Mard Geer: *glares* Damn it...
Mard Geer's eyes widened when he saw Luke coming right at him. Luke launched his sword at Mard Geer, making the young man tilt his head to dodge his slash. However Luke was able to get a clean slice on his right cheek, causing some blood to come out. This shocked Mard Geer from Luke's incredible speed. Luke was also able to cut through the vines around him. The half demon scats on the ground and stops a few feet away from him.
Demon: Aye not bad. Got a cut in. You know what that means; if he can bleed he can die.
Ignoring the demon's comment Luke pants a little and looks at Mard Geer. The man slowly lifts his finger to his cheek. He whips the blood on his finger and looks at it. As he stared at it he slowly clenched his fist and turned at Luke with a deadly glare.
Mard Geer: You damn half mortal!
Multiple vines shoot out from underground and shoot out in random directions. Luke was about to dodge but heard a noise. He turned around and saw 2 fairy children behind him. This puts Luke in a hard place, if he dodges the attack then the children could get hurt or worse. No other choice Luke alameda his sword on his shadow.
Luke: Shadow Wall!
Luke's shadow stretches making a giant wall to shield the fairy's and him from the vine attack. However some of the vines cut through the shadow but much slower. Some of the vines hit Luke; his left shoulder, right thigh, and left cheek. Luke grunts in pain as the children look at him.
"Mr. Moody!"
Demon: Ha!
Luke: *mutters* Shut up..
Soon the shadow wall disappears and the vines slowly start to retract.
Mard Geer: Protecting the weak little fairy's? Aren't you heroic?
Demon: I go more like an anti-hero.
Mard Geer: Sadly you couldn't save the others.
Confused Luke saw blood fall in front of him. He looks up and his eyes widen. Some fairies were pierced through with blood coming down landing on the ground. Luke's eyes started to dilate as he looked at the murder scene.
Demon: Daaaamn talk about a massacre.
Mard Geer: Does it make you angry, half demon?
Luke: *slowly looks down at Mard Geer with a deadly glare* I'll kill you.
Demon: That's Luke's version of saying yes.
Luke launches at Mard Geer at full speed making the man smirk.
Mard Geer: Come and try.
Mard Geer fired a beam at Luke causing Luke to dodge it. The beam was heading for the fairy children but before it hit a shadow clone of Luke grabs the children and guides them to safety. The real Luke continues to charge at Mard Geer with his sword pointing at him. Mard Geer summons more vines at him heading straight for Luke. Using his blade Luke strikes all the blades chomping them to tiny pieces. Snapping his fingers, Mard Geer turned the pieces of vines into roses as they exploded in Luke's face. Smirking at the scene he sees Luke jump in the air, whipping the blood off his face on his blade as it glows black.
Luke: Black blood demon arc: RAPID BLACK SLASH!
Moving his body at unbelievable speed Luke slashes multiple black slashes around the air. Some of the slashes freed tha fairy's making the fall on the ground while others landed close to Mard Geer making him cover his eyes.
Mard Geer: *grunts* (smoke screen!?)
Once the attack stops Luke lands on the ground and dashes towards the smoke. Inside Mard Geer looks around unable to see anything but still smirks.
Mard Geer: (So he's taken away my sight.) *heals his left cheek* (No matter. I don't need to see him to kill him.)
Mard Geer slowly starts to feel Luke's magic. Suddenly he felt Luke's magic in all directions.
Mard Geer: More clones huh?
Suddenly all of Luke's clones pointed their blades at Mard Geer, ready to pierce him through. Instead of Luke worried, Mard Geer simply smirked as multiple vines appeared stabbing all the closes. The dust settles showing All of Luke's clones were pierced.
Mard Geer: *slowly starts to walks* I got to say using blinding me and using your clones to hide the real you was a smart idea. However...
He stops in front of the "clones" and stares at it. The difference between this one and the others was that this one had blood dripping down.
Mard Geer: Such a tacted is useless against me.
The other clones started to vanish as Luke was coughing up blood.
Mard Geer: Such a shame, and hear I thought the half demon that deafened Redtooth could put up. Better fight.
Luke started to mutter something, making Mard Geer smirk.
Mard Geer: Trying to speak your final words?
Luke: *slowly smirks* ... Blood needle.
Luke burst into balls of blood shocking Mard Geer. What shocked him more is when the balls of blood turned into needles heading right for him. Quickly, Mard Geer jumps back trying to avoid the needles. However some of the needles landed piercing him. The demon grunts in pain as blood drips down.
Mard Geer: (He uses a blood clone to fool me! Then we're did he—)
Before Mard Geer could finish his thought Luke appears overhead with his sword raised high and black magic surrounding it.
Luke: Black blood
With his eyes widen Mard Geer blasted the needles off with his curse energy and tries to counter Luke, however he was to late
SLASH!
Luke: Black slash!
Luke slashes all the way down from Mard Geer's shoulder making blood spill and sent Mard Geer flying, and crashing into a nearby building. Luke fell on the ground panting heavily.
Demon: Aye not bad! Using a blood clone to distract him, and hiding your presence to strike him when he was vulnerable. Nice thinking.
Luke: Yea... Took a lot out of me... To make that clone..
Demon: Well duh. Unlike the shadows you used your actual blood. Of course that would take a lot out of you.
Luke continued to pant heavily as he was trying to catch his breath. While he was doing that the demon noticed something.
Demon: What's that?
Luke turns and sees a book on the ground. He walks over and picks it up.
Luke: *reads the cover* E.N.D?
Demon: End huh? End of what; the isles, life, my depression?
Luke: *sighs* Why are you like this?
Demon: *shrugs his shoulders* Hey life is hard man.
Willow: *overscreen* Luke!
Luke turns and sees Willow come over at him while riding in a vine.
Luke: Wil-
Before Luke could finish a rose appeared on his shoulder, making his eyes widen.
Luke: Shit!
BOOM!
Willow: *looks in horror* LUKE!
Luke was sent flying and tumbling on the ground. He landed on his back groaning in pain as the left side of his jacket was blown off and marks were on his shoulder. Willow landed beside Luke and helped him up.
Willow: Are you ok!?
Demon: Is that a real question or rhetorical, cause they're both no.
The two saw a vine wrapped around the book sending it in the air. The book landed in Mard Geer's hand who had a giant wound down his left shoulder.
Mard Geer: *pants heavily and glares darkly at the two* You... Damn... MORTAL!
Dark energy surrounded Mard Geer as the ground started to shake, and the sky turned dark. Slowly Mard Geer's appearance started to change.
Demon: Oooh that's why he felt different.
Luke: What?
Demon: Remember when we fought Redtooth, yes he did have curse energy, however he also had traces of demonic energy. However this guy on the other hand, I didn't feel anytime if demotic energy only cursed energy.
Luke: (What does that mean?)
Demon: It means the body that we saw was a fake witch's body hiding his true form. His true cursed form.
Once the energy stopped, the dust started to clear, revealing Mard Geer's true form. His body becomes more muscular, and his skin darkens and gains the ragged pattern of his cloak. He gains long, dark horns on his forehead, jagged teeth, and retains his ponytail. Mard Geer's fingers are replaced with claws and his ears become elongated and elf-like. He gains large, bat-like wings that are both light and dark in color. Feathers also sprout from his wrists and collar.
Demon:... Now thinking about it, we probably should have stopped him from transforming.
Mard Geer: *raises his hands* DIE MORTALS!
Multiple vines shot out and headed for Luke and Willow.
Luke: NIGHTS!
Suddenly Nights shot up and got Willow out of the way.
Willow: Luke!
Using the remaining energy he had Luke did his best to avoid and counter the attack. However his sword was unable to cut through the vines and eventually the vines tangled around Luke's leg and slammed him on the ground making him grunt in pain.
Mard Geer: *flys up and slams his hand on the vine* NOW DIE!
Multiple roses appeared on the vine and exploded making their way down to Luke. Once it reached a giant explosion happened causing rubble to fly over the place. Nights used his wing to protect Willow. Once it cleared, Nights and Willow looked around and saw the destruction it Mard Geer had caused.
Willow: W-Where's Luke?
?: Dead.
The two heard footsteps and saw Mard Geer walking up to them.
Mard Geer: *stops a few feet* Just like I'm going to kill you two.
?: Luuuu—- I'm not doing this again. Wake up!
Luke slowly opened his eyes and instead of the demon in front of him he saw a familiar golden guard.
Luke: *holds his head with his hand* You...
Demon: Our savior, as a reward for saving our life, we shall grant you a quick death.
Luke: Why did you save me? Shouldn't you use this opportunity to escape?
Demon: Got a point, chances like these don't happen twice.
The guard remained quiet as he was thinking about what Willow said to him.
Golden Guard: *turns around* I couldn't let a nooby like you handle something like this. This requires someone with experience and besides *mutters* I couldn't forgive myself.
Demon: *whispers* He does realize we can hear him, right?
Luke: *smirks and walks beside him* Got a plan?
Golden Guard: Hm... Nope.
Demon: At least he's honest.
Golden guard: *looks at Luke* You?
Luke: Working on one.
Demon: Oh! Oh! Oh! *raises his hand like a kid* Luke! Pick me! Me! Me!
Luke: *groans* I'm going to regret this.
Golden guard: Regret what?
Luke:... Nothing.
Nights was sent flying into a destroyed building. Willow looked at the Nightfurry with a scared expression. She turns over to Mard Geer who was slowly walking to him. She was scared, but still she stood her ground.
Mard Geer: I'll commend you for your courage, but still it won't matter.
?: Says you.
Mard Geer and Willow looked up and saw an injured Helbram, Eliane, and Gerheade land in front of here.
Willow: Y-You guys!?
Mard Geer: Ah fairy queen, finally came to tell me about the fountain of youth?
Eliane: Never! As long as I am alive the fairy Kingdom is under my protection.
Helbram: And I will fight alongside Eliane, or die trying!
Mard Geer: *looks over at Gerheade* And what about you? I thought you hated outsiders?
Gerheade looked down as she started to remember Elaine words
Back at the kingdom, Eliane was doing her best to treat everyones wounds. She then heard an explosion happening in the middle of the forest. She turns over with a worried expression.
Gerheade: Why...?
Eliane looked over and saw Greheade looking up at the ceiling talking to herself.
Gerheade: Why are they fighting for us? Why would mere outsiders fight for us?
Helbram was going to say something, but was stopped by Eliane raising her hand. She floats over to her friend.
Eliane: Gerheade.
Gerheade looks up at Eliane. She was ready to receive her punishment. For being tricked by an outsider, for bringing him to the queen... But instead of a harsh punishment she was hugged by her old friend.
Gerheade: *shocked*...!
Eliane: It's ok...
Gerheade: *eyes start to water* Why... How could you... *voice start to crack* S-Say that...?
Eliane: I understand why you hate outsiders so much and why you've closed off your hearts because of them. But understand that not all outsiders are the same. Some of them fight for a just case, some seek peace. Just like the once that are fighting to protect our home.
Greheade looks up at Eliane with tears falling from her eyes.
Eliane: I'm sorry I was never there for you when you needed me the most. But right now I will change all that, as the queen of the forest, *eyes start to water* And as your friend.
Greheades eyes widen as tears start to fall from her eyes. She hugged Eliane tight, letting out all those bottle up emotions she held deep in her heart. Helbram looked up and smiled for the two friends.
Gerheade: It's true, however *points her staff* I hate you more than I hate them!
Helbram: *sweatdrop* (Not the answer I was expecting but not surprising)
Mard Geer: Fine then. Once I kill you all I'll find the fountain on my own!
Suddenly a rock was thrown at the back of Mard Geer's head. This shocked everyone, making them all turned. They saw both Luke and the Golden Guard standing side by side.
Luke: Sorry pal.
Golden guard: But you still have to deal with us.
Mard Geer growls at the two while the others look on.
Mard Geer: Fine then *raises his arms* I'll start the carnage with you two!
(Song used: Jujutsu Kaisen - your battle is my battle)
Multiple vines shootout heading for the two. Quick on their feet the two dodged the vines and started running on them. The golden guard used his teleport powers to leap from vine to vine, while Luke would parry or dodge in his shadow. Mard Geer used his wings and flew up to the guard with insane speed and appeared in front of the guard, shocking him. Mard Geer goes for a punch but Luke comes flying at him clouded in darkness and slashes him with his sword. Mard Geer blocked it with his arm and the two started to trade blows. While doing this Luke remembers the demon's plan.
Demon: From what I can tell he's in a blind of rage. And since he transformed while he was angry his mind was not thinking clearly.
Luke: (So?)
Demon: Soooo, we'll use that to our advantage. All we have to do is catch him off guard.
Luke: (But he can sense our magic. How are we going to do that?)
Demon: Yes "our" magic. Not *points to the golden guard* him.
Luke side eye the golden guard.
Demon: All we have to do is get old golden boy close to him.
As the two continue to attack, Mard Geer grabs Luke's sword and kicks him, sending him flying to one of the vines. He covers the vines in roses for Luke to explode in it. But the golden guard grabs Luke and teleports him to safety. Mard Geer flys up and shoots at the two. The golden guard throws Luke and teleports out of the way of Mard Geers attack. Luke lands on the vines and hides in the shadow. Having enough, Mard Geer yells as a giant cage forms around the place trapping the guard. Seeing there was no escape, Mard Geer grabs the guard and slams him on the ground. The guard grunts in pain as Mard Geer charges a ball of curse energy at the guards head.
Mard Geer; NOW DIE!
Suddenly Luke appeared overhead with his black blade covered in dark magic heading straight for Mard Geer. However the curse smirks and lifts his hand at Luke. The guard was going to help Luke but was pierced through the chest by the vines. The group watched in horror on what happened to the golden guard and what was about to happen to Luke. At last victory was at hand for Mard Geer. The guard is dead, the half demon is about to be dead and then he was going to kill everyone else... However time slowed down.
As victory was at hand, the anger Mard Geer was feeling started to fade. His logical thinking side was coming back as he started to think.
Mard Geer: (Wait a minute. Something isn't right here. That emperor brat, since when did he have any magic? The only time I ever felt magic from him is when he saved that brat from my blast. Now that I think about it; when he teleported the first time it was red and now suddenly it's black?... Wait... When was his blood black!?)
Luke slowly started to smirk, causing Mard Geer's eyes to widen. Coming out of his shadow was the real Golden Guard whose staff was covered in red.
Mard Geer: (THEY TRICKED ME!)
Luke: Ok but how are we going to do that? Pretty sure he'll figure it out eventually
Demon: *waves his finger* Luke Luke Luke. Like I said he's in a blinding amount of rage right now. Buuut if you're really worried just make a blood clone.
Luke: (I can do that?)
Demon: Sure you can. Well it is going to take a lot out of you, definitely going to behave differently then the real one, and 99% sure you are definitely going to be light headed. But hey it will work.
Luke: (What about the guard?)
The demon made a "are you serious" face expression. He points his thumb to Lukes shadow making Luke nod.
Luke: Alright *looks at the guard* I have a plan.
Golden Guard: Finally! I thought you were just staring out into space!
Demon: We do, do that a lot don't we?
Golden Guard: Is it at least a good plan?
Luke/Demon: Yes/Maybe.
Golden Guard: Will it work?
Luke/Demon: Yes/Eh 80/20%.
Golden Guard:... If it goes wrong will we die?
Luke/Demon: Yes/100%.
The golden Guard hit Mard Geer in his right adamant causing the curse to stagger. This gave Luke his opportunity to strike him with all his might causing another deep wound to land on Mard Geer. The curse coughed up blood as he yelled in pain. He fell to the ground panting heavily.
Mard Geer: DAMN... YOU..!
Demon: The next step is simple. Just rush him with a barrage of attacks.
Luke: (Won't he just heal himself?)
Demon: Nope. You see he can only heal and uses his curse powers if the wound is minimum. If the wound is too large then, he would either have to focus on attacks or heal himself.
Luke: (So we are pretty much gambling?)
Demon: Yep.
Both the golden guard and Luke rushed at Mard Geer and unleashed a barrage of attacks at the demon. The demon got bashed by the guards staff and slashed by Lukes blade.
Mard Geer: (T-This is bad! If this keeps up! I-I'm!)
Mard Geer let out a yell and tried summoning more vines to push the two off him, however he was shot in the back that made him stagger forward. He turns and looks over and saw the injure nightfurry panting heavily.
Mard Geer: You little—
Suddenly the cursed was hit by a spear on his right knee by Helbram.
Mard Geer: Insificant
He was then punched in the face by a tree bark from Greheade.
Mard Geer: pathetic
Vines wrapped around him by Willow and Eliane helped by pushing him up in the sky with a gust of wind.
Everyone: FINISH IT!
Both Luke and the golden guard pointed their weapons as both a wave of red and black energy mixed together heading straight for Mard Geer.
Mard Geer: CRETIENS!
BOOOOOM!
An explosion happened making everyone shield their eyes from it. As the dust slowly starts to settle, Mard Geer's body is seen falling to the ground as the vines around the two start to fade away.
Golden guard: *pants heavily* It's over...
Luke: Finally...
Golden Guard: You're pretty good... For a criminal...
Luke: Thanks... So are you...
Demon: For a tyrant supporter.
Willow: Luke!
The two turned over and saw the group running/flying to them. Willow crashed at Luke giving him a bear hug.
Luke: *weakly* Whhhhy...?
Willow: *tears falling* I was so worried.
Luke looks down at Willow and smiled weakly. He pets the plant girl telling her its alright.
Demon: Isn't that precious?
Luke: (Shouldn't you be complain about this?)
Demon: *shrugs his shoulders* I'm feeling a little nice since I got what I wanted.
The golden guard looked at the two and couldn't shake this weird feeling in this chest. He shakes his head and ignores it. Eliane looks around at her injured people.
Luke: I'm sorry.
Eliane: *shakes her head* It's fine. There are still a few of them that are still alive.
Gerheade: If we treat them now, they can still make it.
Helbram: Got it.
Meanwhile, Mard Geer was seen unconscious. He lost. He failed his mission. These were the thoughts going through his mind. Suddenly a flashback happened
Flashback
A giant black ball appeared as he slowly started to morph into a being. It is revealed to be Mard Geer in his true form. He kneeled down on one leg and bowed down. In front of him was a familiar wizard... Zeref.
Zeref: Born for the negative feelings the things witches fear, the name that is giving to you, is the name Mard Geer.
Mard Geer: *eyes slowly open* Yes master.
Zeref: Your goal is to punish the witches for their sins, punish them for creating curses. But your main goal, your true goal is one thing.
Mard Geer looks up at Zeref. Zeref mouths something which makes Mard Geer's eyes widen.
Mard Geer: *closes his eyes and bows* Yes... Master.
Mard Geer: *grips the ground* Master...
Flashback end
A dark pressure surround the group causing all their eyes to widen. The group turned and saw Mard Geer slowly getting up.
Eliane: N-No way..
Helbram: H-How is he...
Mard Geer: I will...
Demon: *eyes widen* Uh-oh.
Mard Geer: FULFILL MY DUTIES!
Multiple vines shoot up trapping everyone. Mard Geer let out a sinister laugh as blood continued to drip for him.
Mard Geer: KILL! KILL! I'LL KILL THEM ALL! MASTER!
Luke: *grunts as he struggles to break free* W-What the hell!? What's wrong with him!?
Demon: He's squeezed out the last bit of his cursed energy. Seems the last attack we did to him must have damaged what little pride he had left. No longer caring for his own life, he's going to use the last bit of his energy to kill us all. A sad way to die, but effective though.
Luke: *grunts in pain* D-Damn it!
Luke looked around and saw that everyone was getting squeezed to death by the vines. They all let out terrible screams of pain. He looks over at the demon knowing there was a chance to at least make it out of this, but the demon cut him off.
Demon: Forget it Luke. With your body's current condition and in my current mental state, we are certainly going to die.
Luke glared at the demon
Demon: And don't you dare say I rather die knowing I protect the people I love. We both know that's not true.
Willow turned and saw everyone getting squeezed to death. Tears started to flood her eyes. Once again she couldn't do anything to help. If only she was stronger if only she had the power to help them. Before anything else happened everything went quiet. Willow open her eyes and saw she was in some kind of misty forest.
Willow: W-Where am I?
As Willow continued to look around, a figure of a boy appeared behind her. His appearance was short brown hair, a high forehead, thin eyebrows, and brownish-orange eyes. He wears a long orange and an aqua sweatshirt with a hood and navy blue sleeves, quarter-length navy blue pants, and short boots with large buttons matching his hoodie.
?: *two finger salute* Yo.
Willow: W-Who are you?
?: *disappointed* Seriously? My sister never told you about me. *looks down disappointed* Jeez sis, you could have at least told them about me.
Willow: Sister? W-Wait your—
The group was walking around the Kingdom. They made it to what looked like a gravestone. When they got there they saw a young man resting on a staff.
Willow: Who's that?
Eliane: *smiles sadly* That is the fairy King. *looks down sadly* My brother.
Luke patted Elianes shoulder to comfort her.
Willow: O-Oh I'm sorry.
Eliane: It's fine. It's thanks to him our people are still thriving.
The group looked up at the fairy King's statue and pay their respects to him.
Willow: Y-You're the fairy King!
?: That's me. Names Harlequin. But you can call me King.
Willow was shocked at being able to meet the fairy King. She had so many questions.
King: As much as I would love to answer your questions, time is short right now.
He was right. Right now her, the fairy people, and Luke were all in danger... And also the golden guard.
King: Tell me; What is it that you truly want, young one?
Willow looked down at her hands. She starts to remember all the times when she was weak, all the times she was told to stay put, all the times she was put down for being a half-a-witch. Right now what she truly wants is...
Willow: *clenches her fist* I want *looks at the fairy King* the power to protect! Please, your majesty! Give me the power to save the fairy Kingdom!
The fairy King looked at the young plant girl's eyes. He saw that she truly wanted to save the fairy Kingdom and its people.
King: *smiles and lifts his finger* The power you desire *touches her forehead* Is the power you already have.
A bright light shines covering the whole screen.
Back to the real world
As Mard Geer continued to laugh a bright light caught his attention.
Mard Geer: *eyes widen in shock* ..!
The light rose into the sky spreading around the fairy Kingdom. The vines that were crushing everyone started to loosen and held everyone in care. The fairy's looks around in amazement.
Helbram: W-What's happening?
Gerheade: I-I don't know.
Elaine: *stares in amazement* This power...
Gerheade: *looks at Eliane* E-Elaine?
Luke: *opens his eyes* W-What the?
Demon: *covers his eyes and starts being dramatic* Who turned on the LIGHT!? AAAAAHHHH! IT BURNS!
While the demon was having a scene the vines, trees, and plants started to wrap around all the fairy's, Luke, and even the golden guard. Slowly green magic started to appear on the vines as it slowly started to heal all the injured fairy's.
Luke's: *looks at his wounds* This magic *looks up* Willow?
As the light started to fade it showed Willow. She was wearing a white dress with magic white shoes. Her hair was down all the way to her shoulders as small wing marks were on her cheek. As she slowly opened her eyes they revealed to be a light green color. She turns to Luke and gives him a small smile.
Willow: My turn.
Mard Geer: What is this?
Willow turned at Mard Geer with a glare
Mard Geer: No matter. You can change your look all you want in the end *curse energy surrounds him* YOU ALL BLEED THE SAME!
Mard Geers cursed magic spiked around the land cracking the ground around him. He then fired multiple curse bolts at the young witch girl. Willow simply lifted her hand as a giant tree bark, in the shape of a shield, blocked the attack. Growling Mard Geer dashes and punches the shield with all his might, shattering it. Unfazed Willow moved her hand in a back hand motion when a vine smacked the curse in the face sending him flying into the ground.
Luke: Whoa...
Demon: He got knocked the F*ck out!
Mard Geer got up with blood dripping down from his mouth. He whips the blood and looks at it. His anger boiled as he glared at the witch girl.
Mard Geer: DAMN YOU!
Mard Geer was about to charge at her but was stopped when his whole body was tangled in vines.
Mard Geer: WHAT!?
Willow lifted up her hand as a giant sunflower seed appeared from under ground. The sunflower open as a beam of energy started to charge
Elaine: That's
Willow: *calm and collective* Sunflower...
The beam shoots at Mard Geer as he was engulfed by the beam. He lets out a yell in pain. Once the dust started to settle, Mard Geer was seen panting heavily.
Mard Geer: Y-You little... pest...
Willow: *uses the vines to hover above him* You really are tough. It's such a shame if only you would use your powers for good then this wouldn't have happened.
Mard Geer: *smirks* I am what I am.
Willow: It would seem that way. In that case I will give you to the count of three to do as I say.
Mard Geer: *glares at Willow*...
Willow: *menacing glare* Leave and never return.
(Song used: Fairy Tail - Fairy law OST)
Mard Geer:... What?
Willow: 1
Mard Geer: You dare! YOU DARE!
Willow: *gets into a stance* Two..
Mard Geer: Why should I, a curse being made from the mistake of all witches, do as you say!? I am the superior one! I am the true nature of all living beings of this world! IT IS YOU PITIFUL CREATURES WHO SHOULD LEAVE THIS WORLD FOR GOOD!
Willow: *golden magic starts to surround her hands* Three..
Eliane: That spell!
Mard Geer: *head his wounds* Don't let that power boast get to your head witch girl! Once I kill you, I will kill every fairy in this land, fulfill my goal, AND MURDER EVERY SINGLE MAGIC CREATURE IN THIS LAND!
Willow: *eyes glow golden* Times up.
Mard Geer: NOW DIE!
Using the last bit of his cursed energy, Mard Geer launches multiple vines with roses, energy beams, at Willow. And Willow... Simple closed the magic ball that was between her hands as a loud chim echoed. All of Mard Geer's attacks vanished as a bright light engulfed it.
Mard Geer: *shocked* What!?
Suddenly a circle appeared below Mard Geer as that same bright light surrounded him.
Gerheade: E-Elaine. T-That spell.
Helbram: I-Isn't that?
Willow: I invoke... Fairy Law.
The bright light engulfed Mard Geer as he screamed in pain. The light caused everyone to cover their eyes. Once the light died down everyone looked at the scene. They saw Willow looking down at the smoke that surrounded where Mard Geer was. Once the smoke vanished, Mard Geer was back in his witch form with his mouth open wide and eyes pure white. He slowly fell backwards and crashed on the ground, while his book landed on the other side of him.
Song End
Eliane: *slowly smiles* It's over.
The fairy's around saw what happened and started to cheer.
Luke: S-She did it.
Demon: Guess she's not so useless after all huh Luke?
Luke: I never said she was.
Demon: But you treated her like it. A little demon tip *points his finger up with his eyes closed* Never underestimate a small flower, they just might come with some deadly thrones.
Luke looked away from the demon and understood his words. He looked up and saw Willow slowly transforming back to herself. She slowly started to fall, catching Luke's attention.
Luke: Willow!
As he tried to go catch her someone teleported to her and caught her; the golden guard. He teleported her back down to safety and stared at the girl. He was shocked of how strong she was. Part of him wanted to take her to the Emperors convent but the other part of him knew that wasn't right. So instead he got up and walked over to Mard Geer. The rest of the group went to Willow.
Eliane: *touches her forehead and smiles* It's ok. She's ok.
Luke lets out a breath of relief.
Demon: *covers his mouth with his hand to hide a smile* Worried about your girlfriend?
Luke: (Shut. it.)
The golden guard walked over and looked at Mard Geer's body. He can tell he was unconscious but not taking any chance he summoned chains and trapped him in it. He walked over to where the book was and picked it up.
Mard Geer: That isn't... Yours...
Golden guard: Good, you're still alive.
Mard Geer: Give that *grunts in pain* back.
Golden Guard: Not a chance. You are hereby under arrest for distributing the peace of the fairy Kingdom.
Mard Geer: *chuckles* Right... like you weren't planning... On doing that...
Golden Guard: I was going to insure the safety of them—
Mard Geer: By handing them over... To the Emperor?... They be better off... Dead...
Golden Guard:...
Mard Geer: That emperor of yours... He's not what he seems... That so-called promise... of peace and unity... is a load of crap...
Golden Guard: *glares at Mard Geer*...
Mard Geer: This land... The mortal world... Doesn't belong to him... Nor you... Or even the mortals... it belongs to us... Curses and... our master...
Golden guard: Master?
Suddenly out of nowhere a figure appeared behind the guard. Quick on his feet the guard teleports out the way and looks up and sees a figure covering his face in a good.
Golden guard: W-who's that?
The guard noticed that the book he was holding was gone. He looked over and saw it was in the figure's hand.
Mard Geer: *looks up weakly* M-Master...
?: You've done well, Mard Geer.
Mard Geer's eyes widened. He could tell by his master's tone that he was planning to...
Mard Geer: *weakly raises his hand and pleads* Master... Please... I-I can... Still be of... Service for you... Please give me... Another cha-
?: *raises his fingers* No thanks.
The man snapped his fingers as Mard Geer's eyes widened. Slowly his body vanished in smoke, the smoke started to fade inside the book the man was carrying. Once all the smoke entered, the book burst in flames shocking everyone. It was destroyed, turned to ashes. The man simply watched and slowly started to walk away.
Golden Guard: Hold on! You created him didn't you!? Why did you kill him!?
?: *stops* Does it really matter? He tried to fulfill his purpose, to attain something I desire. But in the end he failed to do so. So I rewarded him with a quick death.
The group looked at the man as if he was crazy.
?: *slowly smiles* This... Is only the beginning.
A blast of dust came forth surrounding the man. Once the dust settled the man was gone leaving the group wondering what he meant by that.
Chibi Timeskip: Luke and the others fixing up Fairy forest
Around the forest, all the fairies were rebuilding their destroyed homes. They would use their magic to repair damages, and treat the injured. Although some of them weren't lucky enough to survive the attack that happened. There were some graves for some of the lost lives. It was sad indeed, however this proved that the fairies couldn't continue to laze around. Some of them went back into training, breaking off the rust of their magic powers. This was a lesson that all the fairies in the forest had learned.
The scene cuts to the front of the gate. Eliane, Helbram, and Greaheade were near the entrance of Luke, Willow, and the golden guard.
Eliane: Thank you again for helping our people.
Luke: Don't mention it.
Helbram: Try to visit often. There are still a lot a spots I would love to show you guys.
Greheade: *glares at Helbram* And what spots exactly?
Helbram just sweated hard. He turns and begins to whistle nervously. Greheade just sighed from her friends. Eliane looks over at the golden guard who stared at the fairy queen.
Eliane: I know I can't force you not to tell the emperor of this place. So I will leave that decision up to you.
The guard stared at the fairy queen and looked away contemplating on what to do.
Eliane: *looks at Willow and Luke* As for you two, I hope we can meet again one day. If there is anything you need please don't hesitate to ask.
Both Luke and Willow looked at each other and then back to Eliane.
Willow: T-There is one thing your majesty.
The forest of dreams
Both Willow and Luke were flying on Nights back home.
Luke: Not going to lie, I thought a sunflower plant was something that was already discovered.
Willow: *giggles* Guess not. Maybe it's just something in the fairy Kingdom.
Luke: I guess so.
As the two continue to fly, Willow grabbed Luke by the waist and hugged him tight.
Willow: Thanks Luke..
Luke: *looks at her* For what?
Willow: For helping me out. *blushes lightly* I'm glad I get to meet someone like you.
Luke: *lightly blushes* Don't mention it.
Demon: Awww *baby voice* Lukey is all embarrassed.
Luke: *groans* (How much longer are you going to be like this?)
Demon: *pretends to look at his watch* I should be back to my old self in 3... 2... 1...
Static...
Demon: *looks at Luke* Hey Luke.
Luke:... (Was that plan?)
Demon: Was what plan?
Ignoring that the two flew off back to the owl house. Meanwhile outside the forest the mysterious man started walking out of the mist, greeted by the ex snake witch.
Medusa: Was that wise...
The hooded figure took off his hood revealing to be...
Medusa: Master Zeref?
Zeref: Mard Geer had served his purpose. He created chaos and destruction in the fairy kingdom creating more negative energy.
Medusa: I mean going in the forest with the golden guard in there. If you weren't careful he would have figured out who you were and told the emperor.
Zeref: *chuckles* I have known Belos for a long time. He is no fool, he knows that if attempts to challenge me it would be complete suicide. Besides *starts to walk* I just wanted to see an old place I visited long ago.
Medusa: *flows Zeref* Hm.
Zeref: Medusa, do you know what Mard Geer's plan for seeking out the fountain of youth?
Medusa: Probably to study the effects and create a potion which takes away a person's immortality.
Zeref: I see...
Medusa: But that's all just a hypothesis. Now that he is dead there's no guarantee that it is true.
Zeref: I guess you're right, were you able to collect enough negative energy?
Medusa held her hand up and a ball formed. Inside the ball was a bubble black liquid.
Medusa: Though the fairies in the kingdom lack strength, their magic energy was still sufficient. Due to the chaos Mard Geer created I was able to get a great supply of negative energy. A replacement for Mard Geer will be made in a couple of days.
The two continue their walk back to the emperor's castle with happy results.
Emperor's castle
The golden guard was kneeling before the emperor.
Belos: Is what you said true?
Golden Guard:... Yes.
Belos:... *tired sigh* Guess they were just rumors after all. I apologize for sending you on a pointless mission.
Golden Guard: Oh it's ok! I'm just glad I was able to-
Belos: You are dismissed.
The golden guard stopped talking as he bowed his head and left. As he walked out the room, he continue to think of his actions.
Golden Guard: (Why? Why didn't I tell him!? Why did I keep it a secret!?)
As the golden guard continue to think, he remember all the words everyone had said about the emperor.
Gerheade: That man is nothing but a tyrant. He cares little about the Isles let alone our Kingdom.
Mard Geer: That emperor of yours... He's not what he seems...
Eliane: I know I can't force you not to tell the emperor of this place. So I will leave that decision up to you.
His eyes widen when he remembers Eliane's words to him. It was his decision to not tell the emperor about the fairy Kingdom. Yet still... This feeling is in his chest...
?: You looked troubled.
The golden guard looked up and saw the dragon guard with his arms crossed, leaning on one of the pillars.
Dragon Guard: Something wrong?
Golden Guard: Heh. It's nothing. Never took you for the caring type.
Dragon Guard: I need a punching bag around, and unlike the others you don't break easily.
The golden guard smirked under his mask and started to walk off. The dragon guard looked over at the Golden guard and just stared at him. He couldn't put his finger on it but he can tell that something about him has changed.
(A/N: BOOOOOOOMM! ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE!
This chapter was feature the wonder adventure of Willow, Luke, and the Golden guard. Instead of another cave adventure (Which is 90% of adventures in this book) today was an adventure of the fairy forest. Starts a little silly, but then gets a little serious.
Seeing that fairy's exist in the isles, I went with where they all came from and why there are different size fairies as well. The fairy kingdom/forest is more so in its own realm, still connected to the isles. It also showed how the Queen had low knowledge of her people since she isolated herself from society. This made Gerheade bare the responsibility to make sure all the fairy people obey by the rules.
Next a new curse was introduced: Mard Geer. His powers consist of manipulated plant life with his cursed energy. His main goal was to find the fountain of youth, to please his master but failed.
This chapter was also made to show how strong Willow is. It also was to put a few doubts in the golden guards mind of the emperors covent.
Finally Luke's demon. As you can see he is a lot more goofy. Mostly due to his fight with Black steel Gajeel drains him of a lot of magic. You could say he is still recovering from his battle.
Sorry that it took me so long to update. I'm currently working out a plan to make it up to all of you. Hopefully it goes as plan.
