Back in the dungeon Erza and Kat have been taken care of the gorilla-like demons. Until the two felt the presence of something, and Kat pushed Erza away as a purple lightning nearly struck them.

Erza: Kat!

Kat: (gets up) I'm okay.

They heard dark chuckling, and turned to see a woman appeared in purple lightning and bats near them. She had orange-red hair and red eyes with orange-cat-like slits. She wears a black outfit and she has vampire-like fangs and fingernails.

Woman: I must say the two of you are quite impressive if you were able to take down all these demons just by yourself.

Erza: Who are you?

Nevan: You can call me Nevan.

Kat: (shocked) Nevan?!

Erza: (surprised) Isn't that the name of a weapon that belongs to Y/N?

Kat: It was. This was Nevan's form before she became a Devil Arm. But how is that even possible?

Nevan: You can thank B/N for giving me life, though I am bound to be his slave which is not my kind of taste. But he promised me freedom after I exterminate you.

Kat: So, you're going to fight us?

Nevan: It is what I'm tasked to do.

Erza: Well, you may be a powerful demon, but we will defeat you no matter what!

Nevan: (chuckles) I must say you have heart, this is going to be fun!

Nevan unleashes a powerful dark purple lightning at them, however Erza requips into her Lightning Empress Armor and absorbs it.

Nevan: (cocks a brow) Oh?

Erza: I know you're not completely Y/N's enemy, but he's now a Fairy Tail member! The one I care about, so I can't let you take him!

Hearing this, Nevan puts her hand on her chin and starts to look closer at the girls.

Kat: What are you staring at?

Nevan: Your body types. (looks at Kat's) You're a little small, but still good. (shifts to Erza's) Yours is great, but you covered too much.

Erza and Kat: (confused) Huh?

Nevan: (looks at Erza) You. (Erza cocks a brow) You seem like a perfect couple for Y/N, don't you agree?

Erza: (blush) W-What?! Me and Y/N?! No, that's not true! We're not a couple!

Nevan: (smirk) Sure you're not. You always wear armor, yet you also have red hair like me. But compared to you, (does a sexy pose) I always show my body to be better for a man like Y/N.

Erza then starts getting angry to the point when even Kat got scared.

Kat: (thoughts) Oh crap, she looks pissed!

Nevan: My, my, that's some look you got there. It's giving me the shivers. 

Erza: You devil! To think that B/N would bring someone like you back as his slave, only for you to try and manipulate my feelings!

Nevan: I may be bound to be a slave to the grandson of Sparda, but I also admit that I would like to work with Y/N more than B/N. He's more like his grandfather.

Kat: Huh? It sounds to me like you know him personally.

Nevan: Indeed. I do know Sparda personally, the truth is I was actually one of his old lovers when he was young.

Erza: (surprised) What?

Nevan: That's right. Sparda used to be quite the ladies' man himself. Even if he was more of a gentleman compared to Dante and Y/N, I guess it is something that runs through their blood. Sadly, he's dead now, and Dante is lost in the Underworld with Vergil. But Y/N is great too. And I would like to keep him for myself. Perhaps I'll make him my little slave?

Erza and Kat: Slave?!

Nevan: (smirk) That's right, he is such a cutie after all.

(Elsewhere)

Y/N and Pyra were walking through a cave with Pyra lighting the way with a flame in her hand, when Y/N felt a shiver run down his spine.

Pyra: (notice) Are you alright? Do you feel cold?

Y/N: No..... I just have this strange feeling that I need to stay away from someone.

(back to Erza and Kat)

Erza: (angry) Damn you! You will do no such thing to him! (charges toward Nevan) 

Nevan: (seductive laugh) Well then, come on, sugar.

https://youtu.be/tq3LnUHa7Lo

Nevan starts off with a stationary, whirling attack with her skirt blades. Erza spread her legs to give herself a wide base and then shoved her spear into the ground in front of her.

A red magic circle appeared but was then replaced by a dome-shaped shield of blue energy. However Nevan starts attacking the shield, it begins to crack before it breaks as Nevan smacks Erza that sends her flying to a wall.

Nevan: How's this?

She fires several separate groups of lightning-charged bats at Erza, but she jumps to avoid them. She held her spear out in front of her, pointing it straight at Nevan. All of a sudden, bluish-white energy began to accumulate around the tip of the spear. 

A moment later, a Lightning Beam discharged from the spear's tip. Nevan disappears before she reappears behind Erza and gives her backflip kick.

Nevan: Now you will become tired!

Nevan unleashes pillars of purple lightning from the ground which Erza and Kat dodged. Erza jumped in the air and hovered in place. She aimed her spear and fired more volleys of Lightning Beams at her adversary.

However, Nevan disappears again before she reappears. She then cackle as the ground crackles a bit with electricity, then is flooded with an electric charge that starts shocking Erza, screaming in pain. 

Nevan: Are you enjoying yourself?

She typically follows the ground-charge attack with a series of lightning bolt, fence-like attacks from where she stands. Erza then got shocked again as she fell onto her knees.

Kat: Erza!

Erza: (thoughts) Her lightning is too much for my armor to absorb. Her lightning is as strong, if not, stronger than Laxus. Is this the power of a high-level demon?

Nevan: Is that all? I was expecting more from you weak humans.

Erza: Tch... Don't you dare underestimate us. (requipped to Clear Heart armor) We faced many powerful opponents like you, in the end we remained victorious!

Kat: (thoughts) She requipped into her Clear Heart armor? Why would she do that?

Nevan: (seductive laugh) That's some big talk coming from a woman who's about to die!

Nevan sent a bolt of lighting towards Erza, who dodged as she did. Kat threw something at her.

Kat: Erza! Catch!

Erza quickly caught what was sent towards her and saw it was a weapon that consisted of a pair of chains, each ending in three claw-like daggers that gave off a teal colored aura. 

Nevan: Nice toy, but you forget that lightning has no effect on me.

Nevan unleashes a purple lightning ball at Erza, but she cuts the lightning ball in half which surprised her. Which then was absorbed into the weapon.

Nevan: What?! She absorbed my lightning into her weapon?!

Kat: The Nemesis Whip has the power to conduct electricity into them. While a bit on the weak side, its speed makes up for it.

Nevan: Impossible!

Nevan unleashes greater lightning projectiles, but Erza deflects them with the Nemesis Whip. Feeling enraged, Nevan unleashes a larger swarm of bats. However Erza manages to cut every single one of them.

Nevan: No way! She's cutting through my attacks!

Erza: (smirk) I told you before you may be a powerful demon, but we will still defeat you!

Erza then lunged at Nevan and with a barrage of rapid slashes from the Nemesis Whip slashed her through causing blood to spill from her body before she fell down on the ground as the she-devil was on the verge of death.

Nevan: Aaangh..! Damn it... I was so close.

Erza: Nevan.....

Nevan: Sparda was a handsome devil... but Y/N is no slouch himself. (weakly smile) Please, take care of him. I hope to see you and him mate soon.

Erza: (blush) Huh?!

Nevan died as her body vanished into nothingness. After that Erza turned around and saw Kat give her a small laugh.

Erza: (blush) Stop laughing! Don't you dare tell anyone about this!

Kat: (smile) Sorry, it's just so funny seeing you embarrassed like that.

Erza then couldn't help but smile as well.

Erza: I guess you're right. Come on, we have to find the others.

Kat: (nodded) Right.

(with Ur and Raven)

https://youtu.be/krSnqNCeoIQ

Soon, we cut to Ur and Raven who both dodge a punch from the Icebound Giant.

Icebound Giant: Hold still, you vermin!

Raven: Why would we do that?

Ur: Yeah, your going kill us if we do!

Icebound Giant: That's the idea!

Then the Icebound Giant held his hands and created a giant ball of ice and launched it at them, but Raven brought out her blade, Omen and used its fire blade mode to slashed through and melt the ice ball. 

Icebound Giant: Impossible! 

Raven: My blade, Omen is special, by using Dust, I can use it to create a blade for Omen. With each blade being capable of using the Dust power to gain an advantage in battle.

Ur: Ice-Make: Rose Garden!

Ur releases chunks of ice in the form of roses and thorns towards the Icebound Giant, but to her shock the attack didn't affect him.

Ur: What?! That didn't hurt him?!

Icebound Giant: Foolish vermin! I am a demon of ice. Your ice magic has no effect on me! Too bad the same couldn't be said for you!

The Icebound Giant unleashed a barrage of ice shards from his hand at Ur.

Ur: Ice-Make: Shield!

Ur creates a shield of ice, hoping it would block the attack. However, the ice shards broke through the shield and almost hit the Ice-Make wizard head on if Raven didn't move her out of the way.

Ur: Thanks!

Raven: Keep your guard up, it appears your ice tricks won't work here.

Ur: I'm aware of that.

Icebound Giant: Persistent pests! 

The Icebound Giant then slammed his fist down on the ground, creating a shock wave that sent them flying backwards, Raven was able to use Omen in its Gravity Blade mode to slow her down, while Ur created a rose-themed sword to stop her.

Ur: Ice-Make: Rose Krone!

Ur creates giant roses and spiked branches made from ice that surround and bind the ice demon. Ur then ran at the beast before jumping onto it. She placed her on the Icebound Giant and was about to freeze it, but it didn't work.

Ur: (shocked) I can't freeze him either?!

Icebound Giant: Get off me! 

The Icebound Giant started moving, causing the branches and roses to break and fall apart. The ice demon was trying to shake Ur off him as she tried her best to hold on. 

Unfortunately, she fell off of him as the ice giant swung his arm at her, sending flying luckily Raven caught her before she could hit the wall.

Ur: Raven!

Raven: I thought I told you, your ice won't work on him!

Ur: Sorry, but I don't have any other element spells besides ice!

Icebound Giant: It's futile! You humans cannot kill a demon like me!

Raven looked at Ur then at the Icebound Giant and was thinking about something. As Raven thought of a plan that could get them out of this situation.

???: Raven?

Raven: Huh?

Suddenly, she found herself in an icy landscape as she had her eyes on the previous Spring Maiden.

Raven: You?!

Spring Maiden: Did you regret taking my life?

Raven: What?

Spring Maiden: Are you really afraid of Salem?

Raven looked down in thought of what she had done to escape the war. How she abandoned her friends for a group of bandits, how she left her own daughter as well, how she spent her life searching for her, how she lost her arm. And what could've been.

Raven: It's hard to say...

???: Raven.

She turned behind her and saw her old friend, Summer.

Raven: Summer...!

Summer: You foolish bird, haven't you forgotten what I told you?

Raven: I... (sighs) I'm sorry.

Summer: Raven, whether you believe it or not. We still need you. You're part of our family.

Raven: But... I can't be with them. Not after what I've done to you.

Summer: You are still holding onto your guilt. 

Raven: (looks away)

Summer: Raven...... It's okay.

Raven: (looks back at her) Huh?

Summer: You think I would really hate you for what you did. But you forgot what kind of person I am? I will always forgive you, even after all the things you've done.

Raven: Summer...

Summer: Now..... It is time to step up and let go of your fear and regret, and fight for what matters.

Raven: You... (sighs) You're right. And thank you, for forgiving me.

Summer: (smile) Now, I believe it's time for you to make a comeback, isn't it?

Raven: (smile) Yeah.

Summer: Good luck!

Raven was back to the area with Ur and the Icebound Giant. Then carefully moving Ur to her side stood up with a determined look on her face.

Ur: (look at her) Raven?

Icebound Giant: You wish to die first? Then allow me to grant your wish!

Raven: (close her eyes) No..... you're the one who's gonna die!

Icebound Giant: What?

Then suddenly she opened her eyes as she started to produce a dark red flame from them.

Ur: What the?

Raven: No longer will I run away, NOW I fight for my family! And I'll start by killing you!

Then she held out her hand and summoned a bolt of lightning and threw at the ice giant, striking him into the wall.

Icebound Giant: GAH!!! You insect!

Then Raven handed Omen to Ur.

Raven: I take it you can handle using it?

Ur: Well, yeah. What are you going to do?

Raven: What else? We're gonna kill it!

The Icebound Giant stomps his foot and unleashes ice-spikes from the ground towards them. Ur jumped out the way, and Raven jumped as well and using her Maiden power started to fly toward the ice demon.

The Icebound Giant then unleashed an ice-beam from his mouth at the wizard and the bandit. But Ur turned Omen into it Fire Blade move and slashed his feets, causing him move the beam away from them.

Ur: Raven, now!

Raven: Right!

Raven then created a massive bolt of lightning and struck the Icebound Giant right through its chest.

Icebound Giant: No, this can't be! How are you humans so strong?!

Raven: Because unlike you, we have something to protect!

Then Raven sent another bolt of lightning towards its head with all the force she had and fired it. Soon, when the beam made contact, the head of the Icebound Giant exploded as its body fell to the ground while shattered to pieces. Raven landed next to Ur as the flames from her eyes stopped.

Ur: That was amazing, what was that power you wield?

Raven: (look at her hand) Something I gained long ago. Now let's go find B/N.

Ur: (nodded) Right.

(with Lucy, Juvia, and Aerith)

B/N stood on top of the large balcony of the castle, which was the size of a football field. He was currently facing Lucy. Aerith, and Juvia, who were both glaring at him, though Lucy seemed more frightened than Juvia and Aerith.

Aerith: B/N.

Juvia: I take it this is my Darling's brother?

Aerith: Yeah..... (to B/N) You know, you really got that whole sinister appearance down, you know.

B/N: Must've run in the family.

Lucy: Where the heck are our friends you creep?!

B/N: If you wish to know, you're just going to have to force the information out of me. That is, if you think you're up to it.

https://youtu.be/rJQfkwukY0U

B/N lightly flicked open his katana. In less than a second, he sent multiple slashes towards the three girls. Lucy screamed as Aerith tackled her out the way, but the slashes seemed to pass through Juvia's water body that looked unaffected, to which B/N raised an eyebrow at.

B/N: Well, that's certainly interesting. 

Juvia: My body is made entirely out of water. Drip, drip, drop. (Her hands became visible water) All physical attacks are useless against me and now you shall pay for hurting my beloved! Water Lock!

A blue magic circle appeared under B/N and he found himself completely trapped in a sphere of water. 

Juvia: Is that all you've got?

Lucy: Nice work Juvia, way to go!

Aerith: No... that won't work against him.

B/N didn't look in the least bit concerned. In fact, all he did was shake his head. A vertical slice was able to cut through the water sphere and it all fell apart, leaving B/N simply standing there, soaking wet, but unaffected; much to Lucy's and Juvia's shock.

Juvia: How is that... he cut through my Water Lock!?

Lucy: How the heck did he do that?!

B/N: Your attack is quite inventive, and would normally work against the average opponent, but not for myself.

Juvia: How were you able to cut through my Water Lock?!

B/N Don't act so surprised. My Katana, Yamato, is a Devil Arm. A strong and powerful weapon that can cut through such defenses and seals that one could consider impenetrable or unbreakable.

Aerith: Yeah, he's right. Yamato was one the sword that Sparda himself wielded. It's not to be taken lightly!

Juvia: Water has no effect on him?

Lucy: That's not good.

B/N: Now then, if you have nothing else for me, then simply make it easier and come with me willingly. I will take you to your friends, resist and you will lose.

Juvia: I will not lose! Not after what you did to my darling! Water Slicer!

Juvia sent a series of water blades towards B/N, which he was able to block by timing each strike and intercepting them all at rapid speeds with Yamato.

B/N: (sigh) I guess it can't be helped. Darkslayer!

B/N's katana glowed blood red as did a light aura around him. He quickly zoomed past Juvia. When he was past her with his blade in the open, an explosion erupted from Juvia's chest earning a scream from her, much to Lucy and Aerith's horror.

B/N repeated the process multiple times, resulting in many dark explosions that sent Juvia screaming into the air until he appeared above her and brought his boot down on her, sending her plummeting to the ground and falling unconscious.

Lucy and Aerith: JUVIA!!!

Lucy saw B/N land as his aura vanished and she glared at him.

Lucy: What did you do to her?!

B/N: Normal attacks have no effect on her body of water. But my Darkslayer style allows me to give a light demonic aura to enhance my abilities, enough to cause even her pain. Do not worry, she's still alive. Now then, are you going to come willingly or resist?

Aerith: (grip her staff) B/N....... You heartless jerk!! Triple Firaga!!!

Aerith brought out her weapon, the Guard Staff and pointed at B/N then she summoned a red magic circle and shot three fireballs at him. But B/N sliced through them. 

Aerith: Triple Blizzaga!

Aerith followed up by this time shooting three consecutive chunks of ice at him.

B/N: (dodges) Somehow, I'm not surprised you would resist, Aerith. 

Aerith: Of course! Not after what you have done!!! Do you have any idea how much you hurt Y/N and your family!

B/N: I am aware of the consequences, yes. But if he didn't refuse to rule alongside me, none of this wouldn't happen.

Aerith: It went against everything your grandfather and father believed in! You would be like Mundus!

B/N: (glares) Do not compare me to that Mundus. And you are not fit to speak of my grandfather or my father in my presence! Dark Slayer!

Aerith: Stopga!!!

B/N was about to strike her with his katana glowing blood red, when due to, Aerith spell literally frozen in place as if time had stopped for him.

Aerith: (sad) I'm sorry, B/N. But you leave me no choice.

Lucy: He stopped?

Aerith: No, I stopped the time around him. But it won't last long, let's get Juvia to safety and find the others. 

Lucy: Right. (walks over to Juvia)

*CRACK!*

Aerith: What? (turns to the sounds) No!

Cracks appear around B/N before it shattered, freeing him from the spell.

B/N: That was impressive, but unfortunately not enough to hold me. Summoned Swords!

B/N casted a series of blue energy blades that all barreled straight for Aerith, who templeted to create a barrier, but failed as the swords were too fast for her.

Lucy: AERITH!!!

Aerith landed on the floor, but was still conscious, using the last of her strength to look at B/N.

Aerith: (weak) Your.... Mother would...... be in tears.... If she saw you.....now.

B/N: That doesn't matter to me. After all, that woman is not my mother.

Aerith: (weak) What......

B/N: You don't need to know the specifics. (looks at Lucy) Now, it's just you. Are you going to resist or come with me? 

Lucy: Here's your answer! (took out one of her golden keys) Open! Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!

The giant humanoid bull came out of the ground with a loud moo and brandished his large axe.

Taurus: Don't worry Miss Lucy. I'll protect your sweet body!

Lucy: (sweat drop and sigh) Don't get pervy on me.

B/N: How repulsive. Do you have him say these things to you of your own accord?

Lucy: (multiple anger marks on her head) HEY!!! I don't WANT him to say this stuff! Oh why am I trying to explain this to you? Taurus! Take him down!

Taurus: Sure thing! (leapt towards B/N, axe at the ready) Time's up pretty boy!

Taurus brought his axe down, but looked to see B/N had vanished, as he was already multiple feet away. Taurus ran towards him again and swung his axe horizontally, but B/N vanished in a flash again and appeared behind Taurus.

Taurus: Will you hold still so I can slash ya!?

Taurus jumped high with his massive axe.

B/N: (stood his ground) As you wish.

Taurus slammed the axe down on him and he smiled. However, his smile soon vanished when he saw B/N had blocked Taurus' axe with his katana using only one arm. Lucy found herself quite surprised.

Lucy: (thoughts) He blocked Taurus with one arm?

B/N: You're strong, but strength alone can only get you so far. (forced Taurus off him) Summoned Swords!

Once again, B/N sent a stream of magic swords that all blew at Taurus, resulting in him yelling in pain as he was sent flying. 

Lucy: No Taurus!

Taurus fell back and vanished as Lucy was forced to close his gate.

Lucy: You are so gonna get it now! (took out another key) Open! Gate of the Archer! Sagittarius!

With that, the horse-dressed archer materialized while saluting.

Sagittarius: Howdy 'do milady?

Sagittarius strung a bow and shot an arrow towards B/N, but he actually grabbed the arrow just before it made contact.

B/N: You'll have to do better than that.

Sagittarius: I intend to. 

Sagittarius strung more arrows and fired them all at rapid paces, almost like a machine gun. B/N responded by spinning his sword in front of him like a helicopter blade, which blocked and sliced all the arrows that came near him. This kept up for quite some time until Sagittarius stopped.

Sagittarius: Incredible. Truly a great swordsman you must be, to have blocked all my arrows.

Lucy: Don't compliment him!

B/N: My turn now.

B/N zoomed forward and appeared right in front of Sagittarius and gave a fast upward slice that cut his bow in half and sent the spirit flying straight to the castle's walls, much to Lucy's shock. 

Lucy: Sagittarius! 

Sagittarius' eyes were white as multiple stars circled his head. Lucy closed his gate before turning around with another key.

Lucy: Third time's the charm. Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!

Virgo came out of the ground just below B/N and gave him an uppercut to the jaw, sending him into the air. Virgo came in with a kick to his chest to send him to the ground.

Lucy: Oh yeah!

Virgo: (came close to Lucy) Is it punishment time now, princess?

Lucy: Will you stop asking me that?!

Virgo: I see then perhaps my prince will punish me.

Lucy: Wait, prince? Who's the prince?

Virgo: (blushing while holding her cheeks) Why Y/N, of course.

Lucy: What?!

Virgo: I can almost feel his hands on me, punishing me. (moan)

Lucy: Snap out of it!

B/N slowly stood up and didn't appear to have so much of a scratch on him.

B/N: Impressive, this spirit has both strength and speed to her advantage. However, she is not the only one.

Lucy and Virgo both saw B/N stand.

Lucy: We're not done yet Virgo.

Virgo: I agree, this foe is going to be difficult to beat.

B/N: Beowulf!

B/N equipped his dark gauntlets and grieves and zoomed in with a punch to Virgo's gut that sent her flying to the wall. B/N then zoomed in again and grabbed her by the hair and brought her up before kicking her up into the air, he then zoomed above her and gave her a fierce axe-kick that sent her to the ground.

Lucy: Virgo! Not you too!

Virgo: I am sorry princess. I cannot continue.

Virgo vanished, realizing that B/N was just too powerful for her.

B/N: Any more spirits you wish to summon?

Lucy: You jerk! Quit hurting them!

B/N: You are the one who is summoning them to face an opponent who is clearly above you in terms of power. I do not understand Celestial Wizards. They claim to have power, yet it's merely the spirits they summon that do the fighting, not them. They are clearly weak.

Lucy: You don't know anything about Celestial Wizards!

B/N: I know that they summon their spirits to aid them in battle while they just stand back, which makes them not different from slaves.

Lucy: Shut up! They aren't slaves! They're my friends! I treat them like family, not unlike my friends in Fairy Tail. How can you be so cruel?!

B/N: That is how it works. In the end, only the strongest live. And if you treat them as your family, as you say, then you must not have the best terms with them. If your last family was any indication.

Those last words made Lucy look with wide-eyes.

Lucy: (shocked) What did you say?

B/N: I know quite a bit about you, Lucy Heartfilia. You came from a family that was among the wealthiest in this country. Your mother died at an early age and you ran away from your father soon after that. Afterwards, he ordered the guild known as Phantom Lord to attack Fairy Tail, to which you recently joined, your father lost his fortune and is now living a mediocre life.

Lucy: Let me guess. You're gonna try and make me feel guilty? That what my dad did was all my fault?

B/N: No, I am well aware that guild war was solely your father's doing, not yours.

This surprised Lucy a bit.

B/N: However, what I do not understand is why you did not do something about it. True you confronted him, but a more effective solution would have been to end his life.

Lucy's face was plastered with shock.

Lucy: (shocked) Wh... why... Why would I do that?!

B/N: You still hold feelings for him? Even after how he treated you?

Lucy: Why do you care?!

B/N: I don't. I am merely curious, nothing more. (shook his head) You must have inherited your mother's weakness. Why else would she have died at a relatively young age? It's because she was weak.

Now that really drove a dagger in her heart.

Lucy: SHUT UP!!! AERITH WAS RIGHT!!! YOU'RE A HEARTLESS JERK!!!

Lucy took out her whip and flung at B/N with all her might and some tears flowed from her eyes. However, B/N grabbed the end of the whip, and with his superior strength, pulled Lucy in.

He circled his arm and made several loops in the whip circle around Lucy and he pulled them tight, effectively tying her up in her own whip. She then fell before his feet. She looked up at his face with a mix of anger and grief.

Lucy: You don't know anything about me, or either of my parents!

B/Nl: I know that they were both weak, much like you.

Lucy: She's not weak! She's the furthest thing from being weak! And besides, what about your mother? Was she weak too?!

B/N: You don't need to know about her.

Lucy: Well, I can figure enough! Was her love holding you down?!

B/N: That is enough.

B/N looked behind him to see a certain celestial spirit materialize directly behind him.

Lucy: Loke!

B/Nl: Leo, the lion.

Loke jumped in front of the blue-clad half demon, separating him from the blonde Celestial Wizard.

Loke: I won't let you hurt Lucy.

B/N: I don't recall her summoning you.

Loke: She didn't. I passed through the gate myself.

Lucy: Careful, Loke. This guy's super strong!

Loke: I know. I don't expect anything less from a grandson of Sparda.

B/N wasn't surprised by his statement.

B/N: You knew my grandfather. I'm not particularly shocked, he was quite famous in his life.

Loke: (scold) You are a disgrace to his bloodline and his legacy. Threatening and killing innocents.

B/N: I couldn't care less for his legacy. The only thing I care for is power, nothing else. Did you come all this way just to tell me that?

Loke: No. I came to stop you! Regulas!

His rings glowed gold, as did his knuckles and he quickly punched B/N, sending him back a bit of distance. Loke came in with a golden punch, which B/N blocked with his sword.

B/N: Hmm. You're much stronger than I anticipated.

Loke: I'm the leader of the Celestial Zodiacs, you'll find I'm more of a challenge than the rest!

Loke forced B/N back. Loke came in with multiple quick punches, but B/Nwas able to block them all with his blade. At the same time, B/N tried to strike Loke, but his golden fists acted as a shield that could block the devil arm.

As they fought, it looked like they were both moving at fast speeds as B/N zoomed back and Loke zoomed forward after him.

Lucy was still trying to get out of the binding of her own whip but couldn't help but see as Loke seemingly had the upper hand against B/N, she couldn't help but give a light smile.

Loke was able to get a successful punch to B/N's face, causing him to stagger back. This gave Loke an opening that he wasn't about to waste. He brought both his hands together.

Loke: Regulas Impact!

Loke sent a massive beam of golden light that took the form of a lion, which then roared as it slammed into B/N, resulting in a large explosion.

Loke smiled as he turned to Lucy, who smiled back. But her smile vanished as she saw a figure in the smoke behind him.

Lucy: Loke! Behind you!!!

Loke turned around just to have B/N stab him through the chest with Yamato, which pierced out of his back with Lucy looking with horror.

Lucy: LOKE!!!

Loke wasn't able to talk, as all he could do was look at B/N.

B/N: You're right. You are indeed strong, just not strong enough.

B/N twisted the blade as Loke moaned more in pain.

B/N: Since you passed through the gate of your own accord, you are unable to return to the spirit world unless you wish, correct?

Loke's eyes closed as he fell to the ground.

B/N: I thought so.

Lucy could only look in terror at this.

Lucy: You... You... you monster...

B/N: Why are you upset? As a Celestial Spirit, physical wounds are unable to kill him.

Lucy scolds at him while tears were about to flow down her eyes. 

Lucy: (teary) But he did feel pain! You have no idea what he's been through!

B/N: You seem particularly attached to him, perhaps some form of attraction? I find it quite repulsive how a powerful spirit can be paired with such a weak human.

Lucy: Shut up! You're one to talk! Your grandfather may be a powerful demon, but your mom was human! And your dad was half human just like you, remember?!

B/N: I may indeed be half human, physically. But it is something that I disgust.

Before anything else could be said, a large explosion erupted from the castle walls and many large demons were sent flying, a familiar battle cry was heard as a certain armored wizard slid out of the smoke and onto the balcony, with her swords in hand. So did a certain Devil Hunter.

Lucy: Erza! Kat!

B/N turned to see the armored wizard stand up.

Erza: Lucy, are you alright?

Lucy: Well, aside from being tied up in my own whip, I'm fine.

Kat: Aerith! (walks over to her and turn her on her side)

Aerith: Kat... I'm sorry, I couldn't slow him down. 

Kat: It's alright. You did your best. (looks at B/N) B/N!

Erza looked around and noticed Juvia's and Loke's unconscious bodies. She couldn't help but glare at the man responsible for that.

B/N: Erza Scarlet. I must say, you surprised me by arriving here. However, it does save me the trouble of looking for you.

Erza: Tell me, do you find this much joy in toying with the lives of others?

B/N: I have no joy in it, nor do I show grief or remorse. But you didn't come all this way to talk to me, did you?

Erza: No. (readied her swords) I came to face you. You desire a strong challenge B/N, then I shall be your opponent.

B/N actually gave an amused grin.

B/N: I do acknowledge your strength. Let us see it in use, shall we?

He readied his blade as the two glared at each other.

B/N: Come at me, Erza Scarlet.

Chapter 18 ended. 

Done. Nice cliff-hanger huh?

Thanks again for your support my followers. I hope you enjoy this. I have a VERY special chapter planed for when B/N and Erza clash, one that I could not put in this chapter unfortunately, but rest assured, you won't be disappointed for when the fight comes.

Also, in terms of Raven with Volume 5. I have but 4 different routes: 

1. We can do the usual one with Raven still being the leader of the Branwen tribe until the end of the volume. 

2. We could have Raven leave the tribe to join Fairy Tail and Vernal could go and pretend to be the Spring Maiden, seeking revenge. 

3. We make up a excuse that Raven needs to do check something out for a while and leaves Vernal in change, and through some reason. Salem could have always known that Raven was the Spring Maiden or acquire info that has it. And Cinder kidnaps Vernal to use a hostage to force Raven to force open the Vault. 

Or 

4. It could be that sometime before Cinder comes to the camp, Raven comes up a plan to trick Cinder in order to stop her and her little sidekicks. By falsely teaming up with her to steal the Relic at Haven.

Let me know what you guys think at the comments below, peace out!
