Magicless World
We've reached world 2, and this one's the Fairy Tail world! And, in all honesty, it's such a similar world to Shield Hero, in terms of magic, and even enemies. And, if you've ever read or watched Fairy Tail, then you've probably guessed what arc i'm doing. It's the Tartaros arc near the tail-end of the series. It's sure to be a good one, especially with my Fairy Tail OC's now in the mix as well. Both Damos and Tetsa, to this day are probably my most powerful OC's other than maybe Ayuma or Cry. But, they won't be the only Fairy Tail OC's to be in this arc. They're both 2 of 7 OC's I've made for my Fairy Tail series, so you can bet the other 5 will appear down the line as well. Now, let's get back into the story! Enjoy!
-POV: Neela-
We were able to successfully travel to this new world without any issue, and already, we were sent into action. We discovered this world was incredibly similar to our own, that being that it's magic based.
We came into this world near a village which we quickly searched through to try and find some people who'd be willing to aid us in our fight against the demon forces. What we found out though, was that this world has demons of their own, and they're plotting something.
We met a group of wizards who say they're from a guild known as Fairy Tail and we aided them in their fight against one of these demons, who was known as Jackal. But, thanks to a combination of two of their strongest wizards, as well as Naofumi and Rishia, we were able to defeat Jackal before he could take the lives of anyone.
And, after some discussing, it was determined that both of our worlds were in the same situation. Under the threat of demons who're trying to eradicate everyone in the world. And because of that, we've agreed to aid each other for our causes. We help Fairy Tail with their fight, then they come and help us with ours.
Fairy Tail then went on to explain the entire situation to us. Using a crystal ball, we were able to communicate with their guilds master, named Makarov. He was a shorter bald old man. He told us that these demons are from a dark guild called "Tartaros," and they're planning on using a magical weapon called "Face." The demons have been targeting former magic council members because three of them hold keys to activating the magic weapon.
In terms of what this Face weapon does, it's essentially a bomb that nullifies all magic on the continent permanently. And since these demons use curses, they won't be affected by it. Jackal had briefly mentioned that he was the one who killed all of the current magic council members, but we found out that many former members had already been killed too. Time was running out for us. We had to figure out a way to find and protect these former council members and stop these demons.
"So, what did this Master Makarov say to you? Did he figure out a way of finding these former council members who know how to activate this Face bomb?" Naofumi asked Lucy and Damos.
"He said he may know a way of finding them. And that's the former chairman of the council. Assuming Tartaros hasn't found him already, of course." Lucy explained to us.
"Pops has sent two of our strongest wizards to his home already, so for now, we should focus on returning to the guild so we can regroup with everyone and plan our next move." Damos said as we all seemed to agree.
"I'll go get Natsu and tell him we're heading out." I said as I turned to walk over to him. He was looking up to the sky where Jackal blew up with a very curious look on his face.
"Hey, Natsu, we're gonna head back to your guild now. You should come too before we leave you behind." I told him but he just kept on looking up.
"Yeah, i'll be there in a sec. Something just doesn't feel right to me. Like, how did these demons find out about Face in the first place? What did Gramps say about the situation?" Natsu asked me.
"More council members were killed, but, he's figured out how to find the rest of them, plus the ones who can activate Face. He's sent two wizards from your guild to find the former chairman of the council. If anyone'll know where to find the members and how to stop face, it'll be him." I told him as he quickly lowered his head and shot me a glare.
"What did you just say!?" He asked me as he started running. He went right past me and over to Happy who was that little blue talking cat.
"Come on, Happy, we've gotta hurry!" Natsu shouted as Happy grew a pair of angel wings and grabbed onto Natsu's back. Both of them instantly took off into the air and started flying far into the horizon.
"Where the heck is he going!? Natsu, come back! Neela, what did you say to him!?" Tetsa asked me.
"I told him everything you told me! Then he just took off like that!" I explained to them.
"For god's sake, this isn't the time for him to act up like this! Alright, we'll try and follow him so we can bring him back! Lucy, you and Wendy take everyone else here back to the guild!" Damos said as he and Tetsa both grew wings. Damos' arms burst into flames that took the shape of dragon-like wings, and Tetsa grew purple and black wings from her back.
"I'll come too! You may need my help with wherever he may be going!" I told them.
"Can you fly?" Tetsa asked me as I gave her a nod.
"As source of thy power, I order thee. Decipher the laws of nature and grant me the power of flight. Tempest Wings!" I chanted as a pair of wings made of wings emerged on my back and lifted me off the ground.
"Okay, so be it. We'll find Natsu and find out what's going on. We'll meet you all back at Fairy Tail soon." Damos said as he and Tetsa took off into the air, with me closely following.
"Neela!" Naofumi shouted as I stopped and faced him for a moment.
"Please, be careful! I can't imagine how mad Ayuma would be at me if I let you get hurt!" Naofumi jokingly said to me as I gave him a thumbs up before catching up to Damos and Tetsa.
"There! I see Natsu!" Tetsa shouted as she pointed him out to us. We'd been traveling over the land for almost an hour now, and we had only just caught up to Natsu.
"What the heck are you doing, Natsu!? Why'd you just take off like that!?" Damos asked him.
"You all obviously haven't thought hard enough about what's been going on! No one, not even the current council members should've known where all the former members were! Or where this face thing is! There's only one person who could've known all that info though! And that's how Tartaros found out!" Natsu said to us as we all became shocked at what he was trying to say.
"Wait, you don't mean...." I started to say as Damos jumped in.
"Yeah. He's saying the former chairman is the one who told Tartaros everything. And, if that's the case, then our guild mates who were sent to him have walked right into a trap." He said.
"Damos, Natsu, can either of you pick up their scent!?" Tetsa questioned.
"Their scent?" I questioned.
"Both Wyvern and Dragon Slayers have exceptional scent receptors. They can pick up pretty much anything with their noses." Tetsa explained to me.
"I've got Erza and Mira's trail! Follow me!" Damos said as he began to descend to the ground. We all followed him and eventually, coming into view was a small home in the middle of a clearing at the edge of a forest. We landed in the clearing but there was no sign of anyone. But, there were signs of a fight. Weapons were scattered all along the ground.
"There's no one here." Happy said.
"Yeah, but we can smell them." Natsu said as we walked over to the home. A huge hole had been blown through one of the sides. The inside looked just as bad.
"What could've happened here?" Tetsa questioned as Damos walked over to a flipped over table. He kneeled down next to it and picked up a spilled tea cup. He sniffed it and then dropped it.
"This tea's been laced with some sort of drug!" He said to us.
"Like a knockout drug? You don't think they got kidnapped, do you?" I asked him.
"That's exactly what we're thinking. And it's the former chairman who did it all. And now, he's taken them prisoner and has probably handed them over to Tartaros." Tetsa said as Natsu slammed him right fist into a wall in anger.
"They may have been taken away, but we're gonna find them. I've still got their scent, so i'll know exactly where they've gone to!" Natsu shouted. His determination was nearly unmatched, and he reminded me of myself when miss Ayuma was taken away. I wanted to find her so bad, just like he wants to for his friends now. I understand the pain he must be feeling. The pain that they're all feeling.
"Okay, here's what we're gonna do. When Natsu get's all fired up like this, there's no stopping him. He's gonna keep on going until he finds our friends. I'll go back to Lucy, Wendy and the others and fill them in on the situation. Tetsa, Neela, you two go with Natsu as backup. I'm sure he'll need it." Damos said as we gave him some nods.
"Natsu, are you sure the smell you have is of Erza and Mira and not something else?" Damos asked him.
"Yeah, i'm positive of it." Natsu replied as Damos ignited his right hand in silver flames.
"Good. Now here, you might need the recharge." He said to him as Natsu sucked in the flames and swallowed them whole.
"Thanks, buddy. We'll find them and bring them back." Natsu said as the two of them exchanged fist bumps.
"Sorry to break you guys up, but we really need to get going. I'd rather find our guild mates while they're still alive, and i'm sure you would too." Tetsa said as she regrew her wings and took off into the air again. We all did the same, parting ways with Damos as he went back the way we came to find everyone else. The rest of us followed Natsu. I've no doubt he would lead us to the Tartaros guild hall, their base of operations.
It took another hour of flying, but Natsu informed us that we were closing in the scent he was tracking. And judging by what we were flying towards, I'd say it was safe to say we found Tartaros' guild hall. It was a gigantic floating cube that moved through the air with ecosystems on every side. And, on the top side was the Tartaros guild hall, a dark and gloomy looking castle.
"Here we go, everyone! There's no turning back now! Once we start this fight, we can't stop! These demons will be relentless! If you get hit, then just hit back even harder! Now, charge!" Tetsa shouted as me, Natsu and Happy cheered with her. Natsu took the lead and flew straight for one of the upper levels of the castle. He ignited his fists and blew through a wall which me and Tetsa followed him through.
"Where are our friends!?" Natsu shouted as we saw he had struck to people. Well, only one of them was human. He was an older man, mostly bald with a bun on top of his head and a large white beard, wearing a brown and red coloured cloak. The second was a short, chubby looking monster, pale yellow in colour wearing shoulder armor and a metal helmet over its face.
"I recognize that older man! He's the former chairman! Which means you were right, Natsu!" Tetsa said.
"What the hell did you do to Erza and Mira!?" Natsu demanded from the monster.
"Why would I tell you!? You just busted a wyvern-sized hole in my ceiling, after all!" The monster replied.
"Don't make us ask again. Where are they?" I asked the monster as I created explosive sparks in the palms of my hands.
"The new prisoners? Well, with so many torture chambers to choose from, you're better off listening for screams than asking me. But, I am quite curious as to how you found us though. Wait, wait, don't tell me, you followed the old chairman, didn't you? What a god damn foo-" The monster said as Natsu shut him up by throwing a flaming punch into his face. He sent it flying down a hallway. All the while, the chairman had been knocked out by Natsu's first attack, meaning we couldn't get any answers from him for some time.
"What was that for!? Now you've broken into my home and assaulted me! That was foolish! Your criminal actions are about to cost you!" The monster said as he came back down the hallway and removed his armor, revealing some spikes that extended out of his head and back.
"What the heck? It looks like that attack of yours from before didn't do a thing to him, Natsu." I said as he agreed with me.
"Eat this, homewreckers!" The monster shouted as he threw a punch at us. His right arm stretched out all the way over to us and Natsu just barely dodged the attack. But, several tiny arms emerged from the main one and latched onto Natsu.
"Have a taste of some thunder!" The monster shouted as it started to electrocute him.
"I..... Can't..... move..... someone...... help me!" Natsu shouted as Tetsa used her magic to form that same purple and black bow in her hands. She took aim as an arrow formed, ready to be fired.
"Shadow God Devastation Thorn!" She shouted as she released the arrow, sending it flying at the monster. She struck him and the arrow exploded, covering the monster in a dense smokescreen and making him let go of Natsu.
"How dare you strike me, you freak!" The monster shouted.
"You're the only one whose a freak here! As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of nature and grant me the strength of the thunder god himself! Heavens Bolt Blade!" I shouted as I raised my hand up to the hole in the roof we came through. Thunder came crashing down and struck my arm. I used it to form a blade made of lightning in my hands.
"Let's see how you handle this kind of magic, you monster!" I shouted as I leaped for him and slashed away at its body. I struck its chest and he was instantly zapped by my sword. It made him drop to his knees and I backed away for a moment.
"Just what are you, though? I'm a demon whose lived for hundreds of years. I've studied all there is to this continent and I've never seen any records of a creature such as yourself! Exceeds like that blue cat there can change into human forms but I can tell by your magic energy that you're not one! So just what are you!?" The monster asked me.
"You say you're a demon? Then that gives us even more of a reason to pummel the crap out of you." Natsu said as we started to hear footsteps coming from behind the demon.
"Cool it, Franmalth. I'll take it from here." Another person said as they came down the hallway. The temperature in here was also dropping rapidly for some reason. This new person also had the same figure as a human, but I could tell by the energy he was giving off that he was a demon too. He had short-medium length black hair, little facial hair and a large scar that ran down his left eye. He wore armor over his chest with the words "Absolute Zero" over his left side. He had on long brown gloves, pale green pants and black boots.
"Want them to yourself, eh? Well i'll just leave you to it, then. I'll take the chairman with me too so he doesn't get caught in the crossfire." The demon called Franmalth said as he dragged away the chairman.
"A fire wizard, a shadow wizard, and a lightning wizard. You must be the ones who melted Sun village a few days ago, am I right?" The man asked us, referring to some event that must've occurred before I'd arrived here.
"That's right. And you must be the man who froze it over." Tetsa said as she took aim with her bow.
"Thanks! I was so worried when I heard what happened, what a complete mess! See, I could've sworn the dragon soul that was there was a demon, so I froze the whole damn village to try and get rid of it." The man said while chuckling which confused both Natsu and Tetsa.
"You smell an awful like someone else I know." Natsu said as the man stopped chuckling and looked at him curiously.
"Gray Fullbus-" Natsu began to say as the man swiped his right arm to his side. A cold wind swept through the hallway and near instantly froze Natsu completely.
"You should never have said that name in my presence, kid. Now you all have to pay." The man said as he looked to me and Tetsa next.
"Happy, get out of here now! Go tell-" Tetsa tried to say but the man froze her the same way he did Natsu.
"Go tell everyone where we are!" I shouted as Happy gave me a sad nod before sprouting his wings and taking off into the sky, flying away from the Tartaros guild.
"I don't know what you are, girl, but that was a big mistake. No matter how many friends that cat brings back, they'll all die, just like you. Now, freeze." The man said as he froze me in place too. Everything went black for me after that. I couldn't even feel the cold of the ice on me. I could still breath somehow, but it didn't matter anymore. I could not move even a millimeter, nor could I speak. I had no hope of escaping this guild. Our hands now lie with our friends.
-POV: Naofumi-
Damos returned some time after he, Neela, and Tetsa went after Natsu. He informed us of the situation and we began to make haste for his guild hall. We weren't far now as we were near the town of Magnolia, the place where Fairy Tail was located. It was a beautiful looking place, to say the least, with a thriving community. And, at the very end of the town, at the edge of the lake, was a small castle shaped building which had the crest of a Fairy on it. That was the Fairy Tail guild hall.
When we arrived, we met with the other guild members, as well as, their master, Makarov. Me and Motoyasu talked to him about our current situation and where we come from. He seemed more than willing to lend us his guilds aid if we helped him, which was a nice relief, assuming we could win this fight of theirs.
"Now then, let's go over everything we know thus far." Makarov said as every member of the guild gathered together to discuss.
"It's not good news. Me, Tetsa, Natsu, Happy, and Neela went to the former chairman's house. But he was already gone by the time we had gotten there, as were Erza and Mira. And, on top of it all, the place was completely wrecked. No doubt a fight broke out there." Damos explained to everyone.
"Where's Natsu and the others now?" Makarov asked.
"Natsu was dead set on finding Erza and Mira that nothing was gonna keep from from finding them. He took Happy, Tetsa and Neela as backup. I'm hoping they would've found them by now. But there's still no word yet." Damos explained.
"I don't wanna sound all negative or anything, but do you think they may have been caught?" I asked as Makarov gave a slow nod.
"That could indeed be the case. Or perhaps they could be on the run but haven't reported in yet." He suggested. Hopefully it was the latter of the two he said.
"I wish we could hit this Tartaros guild, but we have no idea where it is." A guild member named Levy said.
"We haven't heard anything from Elfman or Lisanna for a while either. And the people we've sent to find some of the other former council members, they've reported no attacks yet." Another member named Cana said.
"Those wretched demons..... there has to be some way of locating them." Makarov said with anger as something came crashing through a window. It was that blue cat from before, named Happy.
"Me, Natsu and the rest found their guild hall! There base, I know where it is! We've gotta go back!" Happy shouted, sounding exhausted as the wings in his back disappeared. He fell to the ground but Motoyasu caught him in his arms.
"Erza and Mira got captured because that former chairman guy, he's a traitor! And me, Natsu, Neela and Tetsa followed their trail and busted into guild but Natsu, he, he-" Happy quickly said as Motoyasu put his hand over his mouth to stop him for the moment.
"Hold on their, little buddy. Talk just a little slower so we can all understand, alright?" He asked Happy as he was given a nod. Motoyasu then put Happy down on a table so he could speak.
"Okay, so the chairman's a traitor, and he captured both Mira and Erza. All four of us followed their scent until we found Tartaros' guild hall. We broke in and found the chairman, as well as, some of the demons there. We fought them but Natsu ended up getting captured. Tetsa and Neela told me to run back here so I could tell you all, but.... I think.... they were captured too...." Happy said as he started to cry.
"Inconceivable! The former chairman of the magic council has joined Tartaros! And, on top of all that, they've captured some of our strongest members." Makarov said in disbelief.
"And they captured one of ours too. Now it's personal." I said as I could feel my anger starting to rise. Happy approached me and hugged my leg, crying into my pants.
"I'm sorry. I watched them all get captured. It was right in front of me and I couldn't do a thing. I ran away." He said to me as I sighed, kneeled down and picked him up.
"It's okay, Happy. You did what was best for the situation. Now, please, can you try and tell us where their guild was?" I asked him as he gave me a nod.
"Their guild is on this huge weird floating cube. And it flies around in the sky." He explained.
"It's moving!? That's going to make it near impossible to locate it!" Makarov said.
"We don't need to know the exact location so long as you can remember how you got here, we can figure it out." Levy said to Happy as I put him back down on a table.
"Well, when I left, i'm sure their guild was floating East." Happy told us.
"Then their guild will probably be somewhere around the eastern border by now!" Makarov said.
"I can narrow it down from there! No problem! I'll try as hard as I can to find Tartaros' route! Now, Happy, try to remember everything you saw on your way back here! Like landmarks and the position of the sun." Levy said.
"Everyone, prepare for the fight of your lives! Fairy Tail is going to war against Tartaros!" Makarov declared as everyone cheered with him.
"Hey, look! It's Elfman! He's alright!" Another member shouted as everyone looked to the entrance of the guild. There stood a giant of a man, huge muscles with long white hair, a green jacket, and grey pants.
"Wait, where's Lisanna, though?" Another member asked him. Elfman had his head down and wasn't saying a word. He had a grimm look on his face. Something didn't feel right about him.
"Hey man, did you and Lisanna get split up during your mission? You had us worried when we didn't hear anything from you." A member named Gray asked him.
"Lisanna's gone..... Captured by Tartaros...." Elfman said quietly as everyone became shocked.
"No way. They have her too?" Lucy questioned.
"I failed..... I don't know what else I could've done....." Elfman said as he was on the verge of crying.
"Don't worry. We'll get her back for sure." Gray told him.
"We're already pinpointing where Tartaros' base of operations is. We'll find them all soon." Motoyasu said to him.
"Stop trying to comfort him. What kind of a man would let these demons take his sister away?" Cana asked.
"Cana, stop!" Wendy shouted to her.
"I.... I tried to help her.... but....." Elfman tried to say but he seemed to scared to even speak clearly.
"But what? They outran you? Like i'd buy that! You transform into god damn animals!" Cana said as Elfman walked past everyone, heading for the basement of the guild hall.
"Hey, get back here!" Cana shouted but Gray stepped in between her and Elfman.
"That's enough! Lay off!" He shouted to her.
"No..... I deserve it..... Forgive me, I just..... I just need to get some rest...." Elfman said as he walked down the stairs to the basement.
"Something's not right here. If he can transform into animals, plus just the sheer size of the guy, then he should've at least put up some sort of a fight. But there's not even a scratch on him. I think Elfman's hiding something from us." I thought to myself as I walked over to where Cana was.
"Tell me, the way you spoke to him. You think something's up too, right?" I whispered to her as she gave me a nod.
"Then let's go see what's going on. He's out of sight now, which means he could be doing anything." I said as she got up from where she was sitting and walked with me over to the stairs of the basement. We walked down and saw Elfman off to the right of the room, crouching in front of something.
"What're you doing? We're in crisis mode and you're down here, cowering?" Cana asked him.
"What's that you got there in front of you, Elfman? It looks like some sort of gem." I said as he stood up. We could see a crystal ball-like object in front of him that was purple in colour and glowing.
"You can't stop me!" Elfman shouted as he turned around and leaped for us both. He tackled both of us to the ground with his massive body and he pinned us there. He grabbed both of our necks with his hands and squeezed tightly.
"What do you..... think you're..... doing!?" Cana desperately tried to ask.
"Why did you have to come here!? Now I can't let either of you leave! This is what I have to do!" Elfman shouted as the crystal ball started to glow brighter and brighter.
"Is that thing.... a bomb!?" I tried to ask him.
"This is goodbye! This is the end of Fairy Tail!" Elfman roared as we tried to call for help. But he was squeezing our necks so tightly that we couldn't speak anymore.
"Air.... strike...... shie...ld...." I tried my best to say as my green floating shield suddenly appeared and knocked back Elfman, making him let go of us.
"Shield Prison!" I shouted as I trapped him inside of my ball of metal and chains. But, after hitting it several times, he busted through it with his sheer force alone. He charged us and grabbed onto my chest, ramming me into a wooden pillar and pushing Cana onto the ground.
"I didn't want to have to do this..... but.... to save my sister..... to save Lisanna.... I have to end Fairy Tail...." Elfman said as the crystal ball began to glow with an immense white light.
"It's gonna blow!" I shouted as Cana pulled out a playing card from a satchel she was carrying. She placed it on Elfman's arm and he seemed to be absorbed right into the card itself.
"This should.... hold him.... for the time being." Cana said as she stood up and came over to help me.
"What the heck did you do to him?" I asked.
"I use card magic. I sealed him in a blank card. Now, come on. I've got a plan to get everyone out of here before the whole place explodes!" Cana shouted as we ran up the stairs.
"Everyone, the whole guild's about to be blasted to bits! Come to me, we can save everyone!" Cana said as everyone, even Motoyasu seemed to listen. They all ran over to her and she touched each of them with blank cards, sealing them inside them. She even put me inside of one. The only ones she didn't seal in cards were Happy, Carla who was the white cat, and Lily who was a black cat.
"The three of you, get us out of here and take us to Tartaros. I sense an enormous amount of dark magic energy, which means they must be right on top of us. Take us there and then unseal us, got it!?" Cana said as she then sealed herself inside one of her cards. The three cats nodded and took all the cards containing people. The cats grew wings and flew out of the guild hall as it exploded.
"Talk about a close call." I said in relief, just glad to even be alive. I thought that Elfman was gonna strangle me before.
"We made it! Now, Cana said the guild was..... close....." Happy said as he looked up into the sky. What he saw was the floating cube, hovering above the smoldering wreck of the Fairy Tail guild hall.
"They came.... just to watch us all die......." Carla said as we all flew up to the cube. Something happened though, as we flew up, something started pulling the three cats closer to the cube, like it had its own field of gravity. They all crash landed on the bottom side of the cube and then threw all the cards into the air.
"Tartaros, meet the Fairy Tail guild!" Cana shouted as we were all released from the cards, prepared to fight. Tartaros soldiers began to amass around us, surrounding us on all sides.
"This may be our final battle, so everyone, give it 100% from the very start! We cannot fail here, or we'll be failing everyone in the world! We stand to stop these demons from destroying all magic in this world! We will be triumphant! Now, charge!" Makarov roared as we all rushed the soldiers, beginning this great battle.
"Neela..... wherever you are..... I'm coming to save you"
