Chapter 11: Clipping the Fairies' Wings
It was bright today in the East Forest just outside of Magnolia. The only occupant in the forest was the Devil Hunter, Y/N He stood in the middle of a clearing, focusing; like he was meditating. It had been four days since B/N's attack; and no one had seen any hide or hair of him. Y/N told the guild that if B/N is spotted, do NOT engage him; just tell Y/N and let him handle it; though most we're not comfortable with that.
Ever since then, Y/N has felt a great rush in power. He remembered Lucy and Happy telling him after B/N stabbed him, he transformed into some kind of demon; and that B/N said, "A Devil inside him has awakened". Y/N could only assume his demon blood was now starting to act up. Now Y/N was in the East Forest wanting to test out his new skills, to see just what he could do.
Y/N quickly pulled out Rebellion and began to swing it around at a pace so rapid, it looked like the blade was invisible with some bright streaks of metal. He continued to swing it faster and faster until the blade began to glow red. Y/N made a large horizontal slice that sent a red energy wave from his sword and sliced through several trees.
Y/N jumped high into the air, accompanied by a red aura that sent him higher than he ever jumped before. He sliced his sword again and sent more red energy waves into the woods below as he fell, clearing out most of the trees. He landed in the center with a smile.
Y/N: Cerberus!
Y/N now quipped his Ice Nunchucks and began to swing them in various fashions. He swung two of the three prongs in front of himself and sent a volley of ice shards forward, tearing through the trees. He then slammed Cerberus onto the ground on the other side, creating a long line of ice spikes that sprung from the ground and cleared out even more trees.
Y/N: Nevan!
Y/N pulled out his electric scythe and swung it in a similar fashion to his sword, even allowing it to circle on his back like a helicopter before grabbing it again and shooting straight into the air with a large bolt of purple lightning that could put Laxus' to shame.
Y/N: Agni! Rudra!
Y/N now wielded his red fire blade, and blue wind blade. He began to circle Agni in his right hand, creating a circle of fire; while doing the same thing with Rudra in his left hand, creating a circle of wind. He sent both circles forward that flew out and came together, resulting in a massive explosion of fire and wind.
Now it was time for Y/N to try something new that belongs to his father.
Y/N: Doppelgänger!
As soon as he said that, three puffs of dark smoke surrounded him, and three grey-skinned copies of himself materialized. Y/N punched and kicked, causing his doubles to mirror his actions; he jumped high in the air, they did as well; he drew Rebellion, as did they. They both fell to the ground at a rapid pace and all slammed their blades onto the earth, creating a small tremor that shook most of the forest.
Y/N: Quicksilver!
There was a cyan glow around Y/N before he vanished. A red blur circled the remaining dozens of trees around him before Y/N soon reappeared where he vanished. He snapped his fingers, and the trees fell apart into several smaller, square-shaped, pieces.
???: I have to say you're getting more like your old man each day.
Y/N turned around to the source of the voice. It was Raven.
Raven: Though you're more on the cute side than he was.
Y/N: I'm not in the mood to talk anymore.
Raven: Good. Because I'm gonna be the one talking and you're the one who's gonna listen. Now, what the hell were you thinking?!
Y/N: You saw the fight that night, didn't you?
Raven: Yes, from every slash, shot, and punch. And especially the part where you got STABBED!!!
Y/N: But I'm not dead. My wounds have been healed due to my new healing factor.
Raven: And what if it didn't? I hate to explain to my drunk fool of a brother, why you ended up dead.
Y/N: (sighs) Raven, please. This is my problem to deal with, not yours.
Raven: (walks over to him) Just like Vergil was Dante's problem?
Y/N: You don't understand.
Raven: (huff at him) Sure, I don't. Let see B/N wants power to rule the Underworld and the world, and to do that he needs to kill Mundus. Sounds very similar to another white hair member of your father's family to me.
Y/N: (slight chuckle) And they were supposed to be twins, not me and B/N.
Raven: You know I once told your father, that all those who had Sparda's blood flowing in them, had three problems. One was that they couldn't resist a fight, two was that they made a big splash in a fight.
Y/N: And let's guess. The third is being attracted to demons who saw us as half-breeds to the demon who betrayed his own kind to save the human world.
Raven: No, the third was that they thought they were ladies men.
Y/N: (deadpanned) Really?
Raven: I'm right, ain't I?
Y/N: No, the fact that Tai married a bandit like you where Yang gets her jokes from is ridiculous.
Raven: Half the time those jokes of his want me to become deaf.
Y/N: Yeah.... Look, I understand you're trying to help me. But I'm better without it. It's up to me to find this rivalry that me and B/N inherited from our father and uncle. And please me, you don't want to get involved too. (walks away)
Raven: ...... B/N had someone by his side, when he came to see me.
Y/N: (stops walking) ......
Raven: Thought you should know that, see you later. (opens a portal) ....... (whispers) Love you.
Y/N: Yeah... (continues walking)
Guild Hall
Trish was busy drinking at a nearby table with Kat, Cloud, Barret, Aerith, and Red, until a group of wizards consisting of Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Ur, Juvia, Happy, and Carla approached them.
Red: Hello.
Kat: You guys want something?
Wendy: Do you know where Y/N is?
Trish: Probably off training somewhere.
Erza: He must be preparing himself if he were to cross paths with B/N again.
Natsu: I hope we see that guy again. That guy's got some serious nerves, and I'm gonna enjoy pounding it out of him.
Trish: You'd be lucky if your head is still attached to your body when he's done with you.
This earned a glare from Natsu.
Gray: Not if I got his back. I owe him some payback too.
Ur: That's right! I'm the only one who gets to knock you around!
Lucy: Got that right. If B/N shows his face again...
Kat: He'll kill all of you without a second thought.
That statement got some surprise looks from them.
Trish: Even if you got Erza here with you; I doubt even she could beat him.
Natsu: Hey! Are you saying Fairy Tail's weak?! You watch your mouth!
Kat: We're not! You guys are good, but B/N is better.
Aerith: Look, B/N is strong, He's been training since the first chance he got here. It's tough to even stand up to his pace.
Natsu's anger was still present.
Erza: How strong would you say B/N is compared to Y/N?
Trish: Let me put it this way; every time those two fought, Y/N lost. Badly.
Everyone was obviously shocked to hear that.
Barrett: The only time B/N did lose was because of the whole Silas fight, they had before. Both of them had some injuries and fuel loss.
Happy: (nervous) Are you serious?
Wendy: Is he really that much stronger than him?
Carla: I still find it hard to believe that Y/N is the grandson of Sparda.
Trish: Believe it, cat.
Happy: And you said that B/N is his older brother, that means he is the grandson of Sparda, too. Right?
Kat: We did say they're Dante's sons.
Lucy: Hard to believe anyone who has the blood of someone like Sparda, can be so....so....
Ur: Cold and merciless.
Juvia: But if he's the son of someone like Dante, how can he be so power-hungry like Vergil was? And what can he have to gain by trying to kill his own brother?!
Erza: Being part of the same family as someone doesn't generally mean they'll all follow the same path.
Erza's mind flashes to Makarov, Ivan, and Laxus.
Wendy: (turn to Aerith) You said that his mother would be heartbroken.
Aerith: If did... if she was still here with them. Apparently, she went on a mission only to be missing. Eventually, they thought she died during that time.
Juvia: (tears in her eyes) Poor beloved. He lost his mother at such a young age. (starts to cry) No, she never gets to see the beautiful grandchild that I'll give her.
Ur: (sweat drop) Grandchild?
Wendy: But I'd still like to know why he'd do something like this.
Carla: No child. I will not allow you near that man.
Wendy: But-
Trish: She's right.
Wendy had a surprise look.
Trish: B/N is not the kind of guy who will hear someone out, and even if you're still a kid, I doubt he'd kill you without any regret.
That surprised everyone.
Natsu & Gray: Are you serious?!
Lucy: He'd even kill Wendy?!
Ur: Boy, this guy must be so cold, just touching him with a pinkie finger, freezes you!
Wendy herself began to shake, with Carla looking at her with concern evident in her face. Erza put a protective hand on the young girl's shoulder to calm Wendy down a bit.
Natsu: (thoughts) B/N. (clenched his fist) If I see him, I don't care what Y/N says; I'm gonna kick his ass so hard, he's gonna feel it in the afterlife.
Southgate Park
Team Shadowgear has just arrived in Magnolia after completing a job; they were quite satisfied without it turned out.
Jet: (putting his hands behind his head) Man that was the easiest job I ever took.
Droy: Well do you expect? We're Team Shadowgear.
Levy: Just try not to let it get to your head boys.
This resulted in some laughs amongst the friends.
???: Yes, confidence leads to pride before the downfall.
They stopped walking and turned to the source of the voice. It was B/N leaning against the Sola Tree with his arms crossed with Malos standing next to him.
Droy: What the...?
Jet: Who are these guys?
Malos: I'm quite certain that you and your father are a prime example.
Levy: (remembers what Lucy told her) Wait, that man with the white hair is Y/N's brother, B/N!
B/N: (stood up from the tree) Yes, that is my name.
Droy: (scowled) What the hell do you want?
Malos: Boy, I can sense the hostility from here.
Jet: What did you expect?! After what he tried to do to Y/N, there's no way we'd give him or you a warm welcome!
B/N: I don't see how the affairs of my brother and I are of any concern to you.
Levy: He's a member of our guild! A member of our family!
B/N: Aw yes, so I hear. It's quite evident that my brother has likely told you of our grandfather, Sparda. So you must know, if you choose to attack me; you'd fall quite easily.
???: And you say they're cocky.
B/N and Malos turned around to see two more of Fairy Tail's wizards enter the park.
Macao: This guys' got some attitude if I've ever seen one.
Wakaba: I think somebody needs to teach him a lesson. Wouldn't you guys agree?
Jet: Got that right.
Jet and Droy readied themselves with Macao and Wakaba.
Levy: Hold on guys, didn't Y/N say not to fight this guy?
Droy: Well Y/N isn't here. Besides, we gotta let them know...
Jet: They can't mess with Fairy Tail.
B/N gave an amused grin, while Malos chuckled.
Jet: Yeah that's right. Go ahead and act tough, while you still can!
Jet said as he quickly zoomed right into B/N, knocking him back. Droy then threw some seeds towards B/N.
Droy: Knuckle Plant!
Several green vines sprouted from the ground with fists on the end and smacked B/N across the body.
Wakaba: Smoke Crush!
Wakaba's pipe had pink smoke come out of it, which took the form of multiple projectiles that slammed into B/N as well.
Macao: Purple Net!
Macao then casted ropes of purple fire that ensnared B/N's arms and legs, holding him in place, before Jet zoomed in front of B/N.
Jet: Falcon Heaven Sword!
Jet slammed into B/N which sent him skidding on the ground with his feet, he kneeled down onto the ground when he stopped.
Droy: You had enough yet?
Jet: What happened to the tough-guy act?
Macao: Don't tell me you're all talk.
B/N actually gave a small chuckle as he slowly rose to his feet.
Wakaba: What's so funny you punk?
B/N: Is that all? Because in all honesty, that felt like nothing more than a breeze.
He didn't have so much as a scratch on him. Levy looked with honest shock.
Levy: (thoughts) How? Not even the smallest bruise? I know he's strong but...
Malos: Arlight! (cracks his knuckles) Playtime is over.
Macao: What, you want some more?
B/N: No. I've had my fill, you four aren't worth killing.
They all glared at him.
B/N: Maybe it's time you know exactly who you're dealing with. Malos, get rid of these insects.
Malos: (smirk) Oh with pleasure!
Malos then brought out a sword with black markings on the blade. The sword had a heavily ornate hilt with a four-sided guard, a grip with a spiral design, and a sphere for the pommel.
Wakaba: Wow, what kind of sword is that?
Macao: Careful, this guy's going to attack.
Malos then gave them a smirk, and with lighting speed launched himself at Wakaba. Then he unleashed a single impossible fast strike, slashing Wakaba across the chest.
Macao: Wakaba!
Jet: So fast! I couldn't see it!
Malos then jumped in the air, and then while in midair, headed towards Jet.
Droy: Jet, look out!
Malos then with amazing speed rocket towards Jet, then slashed him and then rapidly dash across the field and repeatedly slashed Jet multiple times with his sword thrust out from him. Macao had already landed and scowled at Malos.
Macao: Purple Rain!
Macao shot a multitude of purple fireballs towards Malos, but Malos leapt into the air, and then created a ball of dark colored flames and launched it at Macao, hitting him dead center.
Droy: Macao!
Malos then grabbed Droy by the hair before he landed and threw him into a tree, causing it to completely uproot. Then he stomped on his chest with his foot.
Malos: The insects of this world are still the same.
Levy looked in terror and fell to her knees at the sight of only a fraction of Malos's power, as the unconscious bodies of Jet, Droy, Macao, and Wakaba lay around him. Malos turned slightly to Levy, one look from his eyes made her tremble. Levy tried to stand up and muster some courage.
Malos: Don't think about it!
Levy: I won't go down so easily! Solid Script: Hole!
A hole had formed directly under Malos, but he dashed far away from it before gravity took its course.
Levy: Solid Script: Fire!
The word 'Fire' formed in front of Levy before a large stream of blue fire was sent towards Malos. He merely held out his hand as the flames coiled with him. As the smoke cleared it revealed that Malos had created a dark color barrier, blocking the attack.
Levy's heart began to race even further as Malos slowly approached her. Getting desperate, she decided to throw all she could at him.
Levy: Solid Script: Iron! Wood! Stone!
Malos kept walking as he nonchalantly sliced through all the objects that Levy tossed at him like they were nothing, causing Levy to become absolutely terrified.
Levy: Sol-
Before she could finish, Malos suddenly appeared directly in front of her and covered her mouth with his hand. He lifted her up into the air using that same hand, still keeping her mouth covered.
Levy: Mmmmph!
Malos: Again, still the same.
Malos then punched her in the gut with the force of the blow knocking her out. Malos let go and let her fall to the ground.
B/N: (sigh) I thought those wizards were stronger than that, but I guess I was wrong. (pulls out a blue crystal) Sever, come forth.
The crystal glowed as a humanoid being with four limbs, a tail, and an elongated head with tiny eyes and a fish-like mouth full of teeth appeared before him. He is blackish-blue with gold-edged armor, large black claws and a pentagonal crystal in the center of his chest.
Sever: I am at your command, Master.
B/N: Take the girl back to the base. She could prove herself usual as bait along with the others we'll bring.
Sever: As you wish.
Sever picks up Levy over his shoulder and starts walking out of town with his captive.
Malos: I thought these guys were supposed to be strong? But I guess after all these years, humans have gotten more softer than I thought.
B/N: One down. Let's see what makes this guild so special, brother.
Chapter 11 ended.
The third chapter is down, and B/N has Levy captured. What plans does he have with her? Only time will tell.
See you guys later in the next chapter.
