Chapter 8: The Lingering Despair
Makarov's POV
As my children we're going head to head against the other guild members of Phantom Lord,I was going to the source of all this turmoil."Well look what we have here an old man ready to die." As I turned around a group of members had surrounded me. "Oh no I didn't come here to die." I replied with a smirk. I used my magic to grow in size.
"I came here to avenge my children so take me to José right now!" I screamed as I knocked them away from me.
Rei's POV
As me and Natsu were fighting Gajeel my head kept hurting the more magic I use but I tried to ignore it."Hey your getting distracted Nightwing Iron Dragon's Sword."Gajeel screamed as he swung it at me. I dodged it but it grazed my chest. "Gajeel you will pay for what you did to my guild mates !!!" As I screamed this my magic started to circle around me again. "There is no joy,only sorrow. There is no peace,only calamity. There is no love,only hatred. There is no hell,only darkness!!!!"As I said that all of my magic swirled like crazy."What is this power it feels even darker than Master's power." Gajeel said with a nervous sweat breaking out but then he smirked "So your finally taking this seriously huh bring it!" He shouted. " Dark Matter Dragon's ..." as soon as I was about to cast my spell I felt my conciseness slip away. When I was about to fall all I heard was the same voice that spoke to me earlier when I first joined Fairy Tail all I heard was the same words as back then. " We will become one!"
Unknown Environment (setting change)
As I woke up what I saw wasn't the guild hall to Phantom. No what I saw was a graveyard filled with blades as far as the I can see.
"It's been awhile hasn't Rei." I heard a voice behind me say but as soon as I turned around no one was there. "You really don't remember anything do you Rei though I don't blame you." The voice said in a calm tone,but what it said next wasn't. "No body would want to remember What You Did!" I turned around again to try to find the source. This time I saw the person who was speaking. It was a boy with brown hair, about 5'10, wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts with red gloves,red boots and a green hoodie with no pockets or zipper . His eyes were red as well and his face had a natural blush on both of his cheeks."What do you mean what I did, who are you and where am i?" I asked hoping to get some answers. " Jeez your not good at first impressions are you Mister idol . Well to answer one of your questions we are in our mind and heart." The boy answered with a sly smile." So you mean to tell me this graveyard...." "Represents our true feelings towards what we did, our magic, our family and most importantly Humanity." The boy finishes with a demonic voice. "Why do you keep saying our and what do you mean by what I did?!" I asked getting irritated. " Don't worry about the past what matters is..." Suddenly the boy was surrounded by knives that looked as if they were targeting me.
"RiGHt Now!!!!!!!!!" He screamed as he slashed at me with his knife. " Poor Rei you can't even remember the tragedy the fell on us and how much our existence is a bane to every living creature." The boy then slashed the space between us and nothing happened,but then a red slash mark appeared out of nowhere and it cut my chest. "Dark Matter Dragon's Claws."
I used my claws to block a few of his knives but the majority of them grazed me. "What's the matter Rei do you want me to CuT you some slack?" When he made that pun I realized something. ' He just toying with me. He knows he's stronger but he's just using me for fun!' i thought to myself. "Look buddy I don't know about you but if there's one thing I hate it's being underestimated!" I shouted. The boy just smirked, " If I don't hold back you would already be dead but hey your funeral."Once again he summoned more knives but this time all of them surrounded me just floating in the air."What the hell are you up to?!" I screamed. "You think i'm just gonna tell you what i'm planning because you asked? Hate to break it to you but unlike the other idiots you fought I know when to keep my mouth shut." He taunted. As soon as he was done talking all the knives were about to pierce me."Dark Shield!" Right before the knives were about sever me I made a sphere a darkness that kept the knives at bay.
"That's it i'm done playing around. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and eternal darkness for all who appose me Dark Matter Dragon's..." Just when I was about to cast my spell, I got stabbed from behind with knives in back and legs. I was so shocked that I didn't notice what was happening in front of me "Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed as I was stabbed by around 50 knives. 15 in my left arm, 10 on my right arm,5 in my stomach,17 in the front of my right leg,and 3 in the left one. The boy walked up to me and smiled saying," I told you you would already be dead. But let's get one thing straight I can't have you dying on me yet plus you can't die here since we are in your mind. But I never thought your heart and mind would be a graveyard. You are just like my reflection huh. " When he said 'Reflection' something popped into my head. It hurt like hell but what I saw was felt so familiar. I saw a girl with a blue shirt with purple stripes. The most shocking thing was that there were knives in her back. The one who did it was crying and hugging her. But when I got a closer look I saw that the person who did this is the same one I'm fighting.
" Why,why is this in my head and why does it feel so familiar?!" I screamed while there were tears in my eyes from that moment. Just as my opponent was about to stab me he stopped. "So you remember part of the things we did." He said. "Answer me why were doing that to her and why do I have it stuck in my head if it's your memory?!" I screamed trying to get answers. 'Wait why do I care about what happened to that girl even though I never met her.' The boy saw my reaction and smirked saying as if reading my mind, " I can't tell you why I did it because it's something you have to remember,but I will admit that what you saw was my memory." "I said why is it stuck in my head!" I yelled. "I can't tell because just like me it's something you lost a long time ago." 'I haven't lost anything that I can remember and I never seen this kid in my entire life unless what he's talking about is.....' Just then a darkness overtook the land. The boy said,"It looks like your waking up soon. I can't tell you the answers to your questions but let me give you a hint ask someone you know about this: The Calamity Of The Southern Continent. Then you'll realize what we did. And two more thing since you had your fun with this so called Phantom I might as well give you some HeLp. For the second thing, a little word of advice living things are just like snow. One bad touch and they'll disappear." And once again I lost conciseness. 'Just my damn luck.'
Erza's POV
As I was attacking the grunts I felt three strong amounts of magical power. The first one was extremely dark and powerful. The second was darker and out of control. The final one was warm but diminished. That's when I realized that the final one was "Master is down!" Gray shouted. Then suddenly all the members of Phantom shouted,"Did you hear that?! Without the old man they can't do noth-" As he was about to finish his sentence he was knocked out by none other then Rei. But something isn't right his magic power is usually purple,or blue when he's mad. But now it's a dark crimson and his eyes not only are his pupils red but the rest of it is black. Then he turned towards the members of Phantom and smiled that's when black liquid came from his mouth and eyes as he said something that sent chills through all of our spines while he is still smiling ,but speaking with a demonic voice," YOu KnOw tHat dYing iS aPArt of LIFe RiGHt. So TODay yOu WiLl tRuLy FeEl ALIVE."
"He's only one person we can take him out right now if we-" " I wouldn't do that if I were you,"Rei said with a smirk. For some reason the members stopped looking terrified. When I looked up I saw why. Knives surrounded them aiming straight for their vital organs as Rei had his left arm raised in the air.
"If you scream i'll kill you. If you move i'll kill you. Breathing and blinking will be considered as moving." "Rei you can't, killing people is forbidden in Fairy Tail!" I screamed hoping he would listen to reason. He turned towards me and smiled saying," Okay I won't kill them......" I sighed in relief that he listened,but what happened next proved me wrong ".....I'll put them in a near death state." He said putting his arm down while laughing at there misery . All of the Phantom members bodies were pierced with knives from all directions,barely missing there vital parts. I felt a lot of emotions. Anger;because he almost killed a majority of the people. Confusion as to what happened to him to cause him to be like this. And the last one is a feeling I haven't felt in awhile. That feeling was absolute fear. To think that the Rei who had a heart of a true wizard had turned into a sadistic blood thirsty monster. While he was laughing like a kid enjoying a new toy, his eyes showed nothing but pure hatred as he was standing in a pool of blood. "Alright tomato head it's time to go since the old fart is down for the count," He said. "What the hell happened to you Rei?!" I shouted wanting to know how he ended up like this. "You better watch how you talk to me tomato head.....
...you jUst MIgHt RegrEt iT and to answer your question let's just say I am Rei but I'm also not Rei. Don't worry he'll be back I just had to ....... borrow ..him." When he said this he passed out and turned back to normal. 'Rei Nightwing you are truly an enigma to all of us.' I thought to myself as me and Gray carried both him and the master back to the guild.
(Meanwhile) Lucy's POV
I was walking through the streets of Magnolia trying to get to Phantom Lord. All of a sudden it started to rain where I was running."Why is it raining all of sudden?" I heard wet foot steps and I turned around and tried to see who it was." Who are you?" I asked. I saw a girl my age walking towards me. She has long,blue tightly curled hair,and she wore a sapphire blue coat. "Drip drip drop." She said with an emotionless expression.
