Chapter 20: Epic Clash: Natsu vs B/N
In the massive chamber of the castle, with the enormous green demonic fire in the center; Wendy, Mirajane, Elfman, Cana, Levy, Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen all continued to hang in their chains. Most tried to struggle, but the chains suppressed their ability to use magic, so all their struggles were futile.
Malos: (annoyed) Oh, will you stop doing that?! You're pissing me off with all that noise!
Cana: No nobody wants to hear your opinion, freak!
Malos: Freak? Try coming with a better insult. Beer Jugs!
Cana: Beer Jugs?! Come here so I can smack you!
Freed: Ignore him, Cana, he's trying to provoke you.
Wendy: You think they're all going to be okay?
Mirajane: They'll be fine, I know it.
Elfman: Those guys are real men, they can handle whatever that creep B/N throws at them.
Malos: (chuckles) I wouldn't be so sure.
They heard a door open at the far end of the chamber and they saw B/N and Sever walk inside; however, all the wizards became shocked when they saw whom they were carrying with them.
They were dragging the unconscious Erza, Lucy, Ur, Juvia, Kat, Raven, Aerith, and Loke, all bound in the same kind of chains that the others were restrained in, restricting their magic as well.
Freed: No way... He took down Erza?
Cana: And he took down Ur too?
Levy: Lucy! Juvia! Kat! Aerith!
Bickslow: Is that Loke?
Evergreen: Wait, who's that black-haired girl with them?
B/N and Sever walked to the far side of the chamber to an empty cage and threw in the girls before closing the cage shut. As they did, Malos walked up to them with a grin on his face.
Malos: Looks like you had some fun.
B/N: Indeed, some even managed to entertain me.
Malos: Well, that's hard to do. By the way, Osborn bit it.
B/N: Yes, unfortunately. Where's Nia and Dromarch?
Malos: Those two? I don't know?
B/N: They should be arriving to watch over the prisoners. After all, you want some of the action for yourself, don't you?
Malos: (chuckles) Yeah. You think those two got lost or something?
???: Who lost you, daft head?
They turned and saw two people who just arrived. The first one was a young Gormotti girl with a neck-length silver hair styled into a bob cut with matching feline ears on top of her head. She had amber eyes, three white stripe tattoos on her face, and elongated canine teeth. She was quite short and had a petite frame. She had on a feline-hooded yellow one-piece jumpsuit with gold-trimmed white armor plates around her chest and upper arms, and wore a brown utility belt around her hips with three daggers. She wore red and white heeled boots which come up at the top into large decorated white and black cones, which extend past her knees around the front and around her calves from the back.
And the second which was by the girl's side was a large, thick-furred white tiger with blue eyes. He wore various pieces of metal armor on his legs and chest. He was carrying twin rings on his shoulders, and he had a crystal shaped like a claw.
B/N: Nia. Dromarch. You're late.
Nia: Well dud! You expected me to find this place without someone else helping me? Of all the places you could've chosen, you chose this one?
Dromarch: My Lady, please show some restraint.
Cana: Okay, did that lion just talk?
Nia: Dromach! What have I told you about speaking for me? Shut your-
Malos: Drop it, Nia.
Nia: Yes, Malos.
Wendy: Why are you doing all this? Why are you capturing everyone?
B/N: (turns to his prisoners) I suppose you should now. There are two reasons why I've taken these actions. The first is that Y/N is now a member of your guild, so you would have undoubtedly tried to aid him, and even if he wasn't, you most likely would have interfered in my plans, so the logical choice would be to remove all potential threats.
Evergreen: So you're just getting us out of the way?
B/N: Yes. Now for the second reason; you are to serve as an audience.
Mirajane: Audience?
Cana: For what?
B/N: You shall see soon enough.
Malos: But first.......
He heard a faint sound, which carried the noise of an incoming rocket. Out of the corner of his eye, a small rocket was soaring towards him; in the blink of an eye, Malos summoned his sword, and the rocket was sliced in half before both halves fell to the ground.
Malos: Let's deal with them.
All eyes set on the entrance of the chamber where they saw four familiar Devil Hunters enter the room.
Wendy: Lady! Trish! Barret! Red!
Lady: You got some nerve pulling a stunt like this, B/N.
Barret: You're gonna pay for what you've done!
B/N: (gave them a slight glance) Oh, it's only you four. I'd forgotten you were here.
Malos: Nia, watch the prisoners.
Nia: Right.
Malos: Well, look what walked in. A failed copy, a mutt, a guy who needs anger management, and a girl with parent issues.
That earned a glare from the four of them.
Trish: Oh you are about to notice us now, you freaks.
Malos: Again with the freak, come up with better insults.
Lady, Trish, and Barret aim their guns as they open fire. Trish's bullets were charged with electricity, so they exploded whenever they hit something.
B/N vanished as soon as the bullets were shot while Malos leaped back and created a barrier. The gun using Devil Hunters ran to where he last stood and saw him running up the wall of the massive chamber and opened fire once more. He seemed too fast as he ran and the bullets all hit the wall just a second behind him.
He even ran on top of the ceiling of the wall, surprising many of the captured wizards. As soon as B/N was directly over them, he shot himself straight down. He landed in between them, the landing created a force that blew Trish to the far right; Barret to the far middle; and Lady to the far left.
Red rushed at him, but was grabbed by the tail by Malos who spun around and threw him into the wall. Lady quickly recovered and flashed her rocket launcher at Malos. She pulled the trigger, but B/N suddenly appeared in front of her and aimed the rocket launcher away, causing the rocket to veer in the wrong direction. In a sudden flash, B/N used Yamato to slice the rocket launcher in half, he then gave a hard kick to Lady's abs and sent her flying to the wall.
B/N saw an incoming light out of the corner of his eye, but he blocked Trish's strike with the Sparda sword that she charged with her blue lightning.
B/N: You aren't worthy to wield that sword.
Trish: (sarcastic) You're one to talk, I'm sure Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you.
B/N pushed her back before he pressed onward. She was able to block his relentless attacks with her sword, but she was definitely on the defensive end as he didn't give her an opening to attack.
She tried to slice horizontally, but he ducked out of the way and quickly swerved to her side, grabbing Trish by the hair he twirled her around and threw her straight at the recovering Lady. They both hit the wall hard.
Barret finally recovered and pointed his gun arm at the two of them. And then unleashed at them a storm of bullets, but B/N spins Yamato around like a helicopter and deflecting the bullets being fired at them.
Barret: Fine! If that won't work maybe this will!
Barret then pointed his gun arm toward the ground and started to charge it.
Barret: Take this, you bastards! Catastrophe!
With his gun arm fully charged, Barret jumped into the air and when he reached a good height pointed his gun arm at them, and then fired a large continuous blast at them.
B/N: Malos.
Malos: Yeah, I know.
Malos then brought up his sword and then with all his might slashed through the blast heading at them, before using his powers to dispel the blast.
Barret: No way!
Malos: Yes way!
Malos then rushed toward him and punched him in his gut, before slamming his knee bow into his back, sending him crashing to the ground. As Malos dropped near him. Barret quickly spring back and aimed his gun arm at him. But Malos quickly slashed it half right down the middle.
Malos: Got anymore tricks, you wanna show me?
B/N then sent an energy wave with a slice of Yamato that cut into the wall, and large pieces of debris fell onto the four of them, pinning them to the ground. The sound was what woke Lucy, Loke, Raven, Aerith, Kat, Ur, Erza, and Juvia; it didn't take them long to deduce what was happening.
The two struggled in the rubble, and saw B/N and Malos standing over them.
B/N: How pathetic, and you call yourselves Devil Hunters.
Malos: You guys put me to sleep more than excited me.
Before B/N could deliver the final blow; there was a massive fiery blast on the other side of the chamber that blew a massive hole in the wall. Accompanying the blast was a familiar yell.
Nia: (shocked) What was that?! Is this place sitting on a volcano or something?!
Trish, Loke, Erza, Elfman, and the Thunder Legion: (thoughts) That can only be one person.
Wendy, Lucy, and Mirajane: (smile) Natsu!
The fire cleared and the Fire Dragon Slayer stepped down into the chamber, glaring at B/N.
Natsu: B/N! I've been looking for you!
Malos: Well, he certainly knows how to make an entrance.
B/N: Natsu Dragneel. I was hoping you'd find your way here, your sense of smell is quite extraordinary.
Natsu: Thanks for the praise, now I'm gonna kick your ass so hard, you're gonna go flying straight to the moon!
Wendy: Natsu, be careful! He's a lot stronger than he looks!
Natsu: So I heard.
B/N: You should heed that warning; you are one of Fairy Tail's strongest, but you cannot hope to defeat me.
Natsu's hands both lit on fire.
Natsu: Let's see if you can back up that talk, you prick.
Kat: Natsu, no! I'm telling you, there's no way you can beat him!
Natsu: (to B/N) I hate the fact that you kidnapped my friends. I hate it, that you still have the nerve to call yourself Y/N's brother after all you've done to him. And I really hate that cocky attitude of yours. (his flames got bigger) So I'm gonna have to take you down a few notches. Hear me Devil Boy?! LET'S DANCE!!!
Malos: (grin) Finally, someone actually that can entertain me. (makes the come here gesture)
B/N: Well then, Salamander, show me the true destructive potential of your power.
https://youtu.be/301s-GDML5w
Natsu yelled as he flew forward. He charged with a fiery fist and attempted to punch B/N, but he only made contact with the ground (leaving a crater) as B/N vanished.
He reappeared behind him, but Natsu quickly gave a roundhouse fire kick; actually making contact with B/N's face knocking him back.
Natsu jumped forward and made several successful punches to B/N's chest before reeling back with a series of fire punches that all hit B/N like a machine gun.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Wing Attack!
Natsu's arms were engulfed in flame as he sent them forward and they hit B/N, exploding on contact. Natsu then appeared directly under B/N.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Talon!
A hard kick to the jaw sent B/N flying straight upward. Natsu blasted fire from his feet to propel himself into the air and above B/N as soon as he stopped in the air.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Roar!
Natsu unleashed his breath attack, hitting B/N and sending him plummeting straight back to the ground, causing a small explosion. Natsu landed back on the ground, on his feet soon after.
???: Do you take me for a joke, Natsu?
The dust cleared and B/N was standing, without so much as a scratch on him; surprising almost everyone watching.
B/N: I have heard of your destructive capabilities, but those flames that you just attacked me with, they couldn't even melt a marshmallow.
Natsu: (shocked) What?!
B/N: I know you are stronger than this however. It would appear though, if I am to get your full strength, perhaps I may need to beat it out of you.
Natsu: (anger) I'll show you! (ran towards B/N)
Barret: No, you bone-headed idiot, he's baiting you!
But his warning went unheard, as Natsu was right above B/N.
Natsu: I'll burn you to a crisp!
Malos: Forgot about me, Lizard Boy?!
Natsu turned to see Malos on his left as he swung his sword at him, but the Dragon Slayer dodged and delivered a punch across his face. But Malos grabbed his fist and threw him over and onto the ground.
Nia: (watching them) Holy crap, their monsters!
Dromarch: Indeed.
B/N appeared behind Natsu and he rolled out of the way to avoid Yamato's strike. B/N sent two vertical waves towards Natsu with his sword's slashes, but Natsu was able to swerve out of the way. Malos jumped into the air and tried to impaling Natsu in his stomach, but Natsu summoned flames from his feets and was able to avoid it as well.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!
Natsu threw multiple large fireballs straight to B/N and Malos.
B/N: Summoned Swords!
B/N created multiple energy swords and sent them forward. All of them intercepted the fireballs, causing them to explode, forcing Natsu to shield his eyes. A few soared out of the smoke and straight to Natsu, who was barely able to avoid them.
Malos: Aegis Sword Art: Aegis Cyclone!
Malos then came forward as he stabbed his blade into the ground and then underneath Natsu came a pillar of dark energy. The force of his attack sent Natsu flying back to the other side of the chamber. Natsu then came flying straight out of the dust, with fire propelling him from his feet.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Sword Horn!
Natsu head butted Malos in the gut and two were flying for a couple seconds, only for Malos to grab Natsu's head and flip him over and have him hit the ground.
Natsu saw B/N in the air just above him as he readied Yamato to impale Natsu as he fell, but he rolled out of the way.
However, B/N then appeared behind Natsu as he got up and gave an upward slice with Yamato right at Natsu's back, causing him to yell as the force sent him back. Natsu grunted as he slowly got up. All the captive people couldn't take their eyes off this battle.
Levy: B/N and that Malos guy are going on par with Natsu!
Freed: Of course, B/N was strong enough to defeat Erza.
Wendy: He can do it, Natsu can beat them!
Bickslow: Come on Natsu, take those creeps down!
Elfman: Yeah, show them what makes a real man!
Lucy: Get them Natsu!
Loke: Take them down!
Ur: Yeah, take those losers down.
Raven, Aerith, Barrett, Red, Kat, Trish, and Lady were both quite surprised to see Natsu last this long against B/N; though they both knew he wasn't at his full strength yet. B/N meanwhile looked at his katana, where he only saw little bits of blood on the blade.
B/N: (thoughts) Interesting, normally a cut like that would have cut right through the bone, but I only barely penetrated the surface. (looked to Natsu) If I cannot cut through his defenses, then I will break them down. (speaking) Beowulf!
B/N quipped his demonic gauntlets and grieves and flew straight at Natsu. He was able to react quickly enough to avoid the first attack, but B/N was able to get a good kick from behind, knocking Natsu back.
As soon as Natsu got up, he saw B/N soaring straight for him and couldn't dodge a kick to Natsu's face, followed by a punch to the jaw and another punch to the abs; causing Natsu to fly backwards and fall to his hands and knees.
Natsu: Damn. He's fast and hits like a freight train. (thoughts) I'm gonna have to rely on all my senses to fight him.
B/N continued to circle him with Beowulf's speed.
Natsu: (thoughts) Come on! Sound, feeling, scent; I can do this! Focus!
He closed his eyes and allowed his other senses to take over, after a few seconds...
Natsu: Gotcha!
Natsu gave a punch, which B/N was just barely able to avoid; he was somewhat surprised at how close Natsu came. As soon as Natsu's elbow was right behind B/N's head, Natsu smiled.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Flame Elbow!
A stream of fire shot out from Natsu's elbow and engulfed B/N's head, forcing him to jump back.
Malos: That's new!
B/N charged forward, with his right gauntlet fist reeling back. Natsu prepared a similar attack with his fire fist.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!
Both fists collided, creating an explosion that forced everyone around to close their eyes. B/N jumped back and observed the right Beowulf gauntlet.
Its metal was red hot and smoking; his hand could feel the impact through the gauntlet. He looked to Natsu who painfully held his right hand as it was pulsing red.
Natsu: Aw geez! That really hurt!
Malos: Well, I have to say you're quite the fighter, I'm almost impressed by you.
B/N: Your attacks are stronger now; I wouldn't expect anything less. Amongst the humans, Dragon Slayers are possibly the strongest. But you are still a human, and cannot hope to defeat a devil such as myself.
Lucy: (deadpans) There he goes again with the cocky attitude.
Loke: You surprised? He's clearly insane.
Erza/Juvia: Agreed.
Natsu: Before I kick your ass, there's something I've gotta ask you.
B/N: Yes, I am aware I am half human. How many times must I explain this?
Natsu: That's not what I wanted to ask.
B/N raised an eyebrow.
Natsu: That bird demon, Griffon, he said your grandpa knew the Dragons.
That comment earned a surprised look from every wizard present, especially Wendy.
Wendy: Wait. (look to Malos) When you captured me, you said you knew Grandeeney!
Natsu: He even knew Igneel, is that really the truth?
Malos: Igneel, now that's a dragon I remember really well. You got it right, Match Stick. Sparda knew the Dragons, even knew that Junkyard of a Dragon, Metalicana too.
Natsu was surprised at that.
B/N: The story often says that Sparda faced off against the demon hordes single-handedly, and that was true. When he was still in Mundus' army two thousand years ago, he arrived at Earthland for the first time. Igneel and the many other dragons fought against the demon army but all of them have been defeated by Sparda, including Igneel, Grandeeney, and Metalicana.
Natsu had a shocked expression on his face. Y/N's grandpa defeated Igneel, the Fire Dragon King? The wizards also had shock expressions as well, especially Wendy she heard Grandeeney.
Malos: Annoying they were. (point to Natsu) Your old man and me, we fought a couple of times. Even managed to do this to me.
Malos tapped the armor around his abdomen and with it vanished to reveal a sickly sight. A hole right through it.
Ur: Is that... a hole?
Kat: But then, how is he still alive?
Malos: (looks at the wound) Hurts like hell! The reason I'm not dead is, because I'm not human.
B/N: Mundus uses his dark powers and mind controlled the dragons as his slaves, hoping the use of dragons would help end the human race. When Sparda decided to protect the human world, Mundus sent the dragons who were under his control to fight him. But Sparda defeated them again and saved them from his mind control. People say Sparda won alone, but that is an exaggeration. Make no mistake; my grandfather was indeed one of the most powerful demons of the Demon World, able to go on par with the Demon Emperor, Mundus. However, for all his strength, he could not defeat thousands upon thousands of demons alone; so he sought aid in the Dragons, most notably Igneel.
Malos: Not only did he have them, but he also had a special being known as the Aegis.
Natsu: The Aegis?
Malos: Correct! The Aegis was a one of a kind Blade that had amazing powers, Sparda was her Driver and with her help, the dragons, and few others drove the tide of battle in their favor. That day was the moment I got (point to his wound) this. Tell the truth, I still haven't fixed it. (covers the wound back up his armor) Because of it, I got a grudge with Igneel.
B/N: In the final battle Igneel and the other dragons fight against Mundus' generals so that Sparda and his Blade can fight him one on one. It was a war between Dragons and Demons, in the end Sparda, the Aegis, and the dragons were victorious as they sealed away Mundus and separated the Human World and the Demon World.
Natsu: (whispered) So Y/N's grandad did know Igneel.
Wendy: (thoughts) If Sparda knew Igneel, did he know Grandeeney too?
B/N: Before you ask, I do not know the current whereabouts of your 'father' Igneel. Nor do I know that of Grandeeney or Metallicana, for I never met a dragon face-to-face. But I don't understand why you would care so much for a being that abandoned you.
That struck a nerve in Natsu.
Natsu: Shut the hell up!
He came forward with another fiery punch, but Malos grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a kick that sent Natsu back.
Erza: Natsu! He's only trying to get in your head, don't listen!
Trish: He likes to talk, just block it out!
Natsu: (got up) Oh don't worry, the only sound he needs to worry about is my fire turning him to ashes. Fire Dragon Roar!
Malos: Oh no, you don't! Aegis Sword Art: Jail!
Before Natsu could unleash his fire breath attack, dark purple chains appeared out of nowhere and bound him in place. B/N zoomed in front of Natsu and gave a knee to the jaw before grabbing him by the hair and throwing him to the other side of the chamber.
B/N: As a Dragon Slayer, the strongest of most humans, you should be able to understand the importance of power, as it's the only thing that matters in this world. Friends, family, emotion, these are all mere obstacles that block your path, and must be discarded.
Malos: (place his sword near Natsu's neck) Power alone makes the world move, nothing else does. Either understand that or be finished.
Natsu slammed his face onto Malos' face and released his sword from his neck, silencing them.
Natsu: Power's the only thing that matters huh? That's the biggest load of bull! Friends and family aren't things that you just toss aside like garbage, you should protect them! We fight for the lives of the people we care about! (got up) Our bonds are what drive us and make us stronger! THAT'S WHAT MAKES US HUMAN!!!
Natsu's body was engulfed in flame as he burned through the chains and jumped straight for B/N and Malos.
B/N: You fool. Igneel has never been able to defeat my grandfather. So what's the chance for you to defeat me?
Natsu: It's because I'll never give up until I stop fighting, and everyone is safe and happy! Fire Dragon Iron Fist!
Natsu's fist made a beeline for B/N's face, but he blocked it with Yamato and made a slice that gave Natsu multiple bleeding cuts up his arm; they weren't deep enough to be fatal or leave scars, but they still hurt.
Malos gave a solid kick to knock Natsu back and then sent a massive sword slice that barreled straight for him. Natsu couldn't react in time, so he closed his eyes and waited for it to hit; however, a large wall of ice suddenly appeared in front of Natsu. It shattered when the slice-wave hit it, but the wall caused it to stop.
Malos: What?!
Malos then saw a ball of blue energy sent flying towards forcing him to move out the way. B/N was somewhat surprised, but that left him open for a metal pillar to stretch forward and hit him, causing him to slide backwards.
All the people in the room, as well as Kat, Lady and Trish, were surprised at what they saw. In front of the kneeling Natsu stood none other than Cloud, Tifa, the Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel; and the Ice-Make Wizard, Gray.
Levy/Wendy: Gajeel!
Juvia/Lucy: Gray!
Barrett/Aerith: Cloud!
Kat/Red: Tifa!
Happy: (flew to Natsu) Natsu! You okay?
Gray: He's fine. Go help Juvia and the others.
Happy: Aye sir!
Happy flew towards the cage that contained the bound Juvia, Lucy, Loke, and Erza.
Carla: (flew to Wendy) Wendy! Are you alright?
Wendy: Carla! I'm fine.
Carla: Hang on child, I'll have you and the others out shortly.
Malos: Nia! Stop watching the show and do your job!
Nia: R-Right!
Nia and Dromarch went to intervene, but Barrett and Red went in front of them.
Nia: Oie! How did you two get free from the rubble?!
Barrett: Takes a lot more than that to hold me, kid!
Dromarch: I advise you two to stand aside.
Red: Sorry, but we have to get our friends out.
Nia: Well that's not gonna happen! (take out her weapons, the Twin Rings) So either get out of our way or we'll add more damage to ya!
B/N looked at the four arrivals that were standing near the downed Natsu, glaring towards the blue-clad grandson of Sparda.
B/N: So I have more challengers, very well then. If your entire guild wishes to wage war on me, then come at me.
Gray: Geeze, I turn my back on you for two seconds and you're getting your ass kicked.
Natsu: Oh drop dead. Let me handle these two, you four stay out of this.
Tifa: Like you're doing so hot right now.
Gajeel: No deal, I wanna piece of that punk B/N too. He's not messing around; he's a real monster. You can definitely tell he's Sparda's grandkid cause he got his blood running through him.
Cloud: We have to defeat him and Malos as a team, all five of us.
Natsu had a comical look of anger on his face as he shot up.
Natsu: No way! I don't need you guys' help! I can take him down on my own!
Gajeel: Take a good look at him, Salamander. Look in his eyes.
They saw the cold and darkness in B/N's stare.
Gajeel: That ain't the look of a normal person; that's the look of a guy who will kill you without thinking twice about it.
Gray: That guy may be Y/N's brother, but he couldn't be any more opposite from him. And if he's strong enough to take Y/N down; then the only way to beat him is if all five of us gang up on him.
Gajeel: If we wanna save the guild, we gotta stop him here and now. Every stronger member of the guild has been easily taken down by him, he even defeated Erza and Mira. Don't you get it? We're the only ones left who can stop him.
Natsu was forced to coincide to their point as he stood up.
Natsu: Fine, but this is the only time I work with you four.
Gray: Fine.
Gajeel: Whatever.
Cloud: (turn to the other Fairy Tail members) Are they always like this when they team up?
Fairy Tail Members: (deadpanned) Yes......
Raven: (facepalm) Great, three of them are idiots! Just our luck! I would rather take Qrow right now.
The five fighters glared at B/N as he glared at them; all watched the stare-down that was taking place.
Lucy: You think they can beat him? I mean; Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel are each strong on their own, so maybe together they can pull it off?
Happy: They can do it! (he tried to remove their chains, with no results so far) They're three of Fairy Tail's strongest, there's no way B/N and Malos can beat them.
Aerith: Don't worry, Lucy. They got Cloud and Tifa to back them up. With their help, I'm sure they have a chance.
Kat, Trish, and Lady could only stare with great intensity; because they both knew that B/N was not at his full strength yet.
B/N: Well?
Malos: You guys just gonna stand there all day?
Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel: Let's kick their asses!
Cloud: Tifa! Let's do this!
Tifa: (nods) Right!
https://youtu.be/Suzu_QDCebQ
They all flew directly at B/N and Mals. All five began to lay on a flurry of punches, sword slashes, and kicks, B/N and Malos were able to block each of them at an inhumanly fast pace or in some cases for Malos a small barrier.
Malos: You take the Three Stooges. I got Buster Boy and Gym Girl!
B/N: Very well.
In less than a second, B/N reared back Yamato and then thrusted forward a blue energy wave that forced all three back.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Roar!
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Club!
Gray: Ice Make: Lance!
All three attacks barreled straight for B/N, but he avoided all three by jumping high into the air. It seemed this attack was anticipated as Gray was preparing an attack with a bow made of ice.
Gray: Ice Make: Arrow!
Gray fired three large ice arrows straight for the airbond B/N, but he gave a fierce slice that cut all three arrows in half; however, he couldn't see Gajeel who had leaped onto the wall and was now parallel to him. Gajeel jumped forward, rearing back a punch.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Hard Fist!
Gajeel gave a good solid punch to B/N's face, sending him plummeting to the ground. As he recovered, he saw Natsu charging at him from his right.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Wing Attack!
With the thrust of his arms, Natsu sent multiple flaming waves at B/N.
B/N: Summoned Swords!
B/N sent more energy swords forward, which cut Natsu's attack in half, and hit the ground in front of Natsu, creating an explosion to force him back.
While that was happening, Malos and Cloud locked swords with each other, both trying to push each other down, Tifa came up behind him and tried to kick him in the head.
But he broke the lock with Cloud and rolled out the way, before he sent a dark energy slash at them. However, Cloud managed to block it with his Buster Sword.
Malos: That's all?
Cloud: Not at all. Braver!
Cloud with a white magical aura jumped upwards and tried to slash downward on Malos, but he blocked it with his sword, however this left him open to kick in the head, by Tifa. Making him stumble backwards a bit. She followed this up by a rapid succession of heavy bows to the chest.
Gray: (appears behind B/N) Ice Make: Hammer!
Gray created a large hammer and gave a swing from the right, hitting B/N dead on and sending him flying straight for the wall.
B/N recovered to see Gray coming forward with a large Ice Gauntlet rearing a punch. B/Nl swerved underneath Gray's punch as it hit the wall, creating a large impression in the wall; B/N grabbed Gray by the back of the head and forced his face into the wall.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Club!
A large club stretched from Gajeel's right arm and hit B/N in the side; however, he quickly recovered and jumped onto the iron arm; he ran at incredible speeds and in no time was right at Gajeel preparing a slice.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Scales!
Just as B/N's Yamato hit Gajeel it bounced off slightly as his body was now coated in iron scales. Gajeel grabbed B/N's shoulder and threw him off.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Roar!
Gajeel unleashed his breath attack straight for B/N.
B/N: Darkslayer!
B/N's sword glowed blood red, as did a light aura around him. He flashed his katana forward and sliced the breath attack in half. But Natsu was now directly behind B/N and he couldn't react quickly enough to stop what was coming.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!
Natsu punched B/N hard in the back, right in the spine. Which sent him straight up in the air where Gray met him.
Gray: Ice-Make: Prison!
Gray created a large cage made of ice, which fell down with B/N and trapped him. As soon as B/N recovered he flashed his sword and quickly cut his way out of the cage.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Sword!
Gajeel's right arm morphed into a sword with blades at the edge, which acted like a chainsaw and he flew straight for B/N. They both swung their respective swords at each other in an epic sword fight; B/N had the speed advantage, which he pressed on, putting Gajeel on the defensive end; but Gray quickly landed next to Gajeel.
Gray: Ice-Make: Sword!
Gray created his own sword made of ice and swung at B/N, forcing him to quickly block the attack; Gajeel then followed along with Gray in attacking. Cutting back to Malos, he stabbed his sword into the ground again.
Malos: Aegis Sword Art: Cyclone!
Unleashed another pillar of dark energy from underneath his opponent, it sent them flying into the air. Malos rushed toward them with quick speed, but Tifa used the Buster Sword to quickly regain her sense of balance, before launching herself at Malos with a kick, who blocked it with his sword.
Malos: Not enough to beat me!
Malos, using his sword sent her flying into a wall, while Cloud rushed at him.
Cloud: Cross-Slash!
With the Buster Sword glowing red, Cloud lunged forward and rapidly slashed at Malos three times while forming the kanji for bad luck or misfortune in the air. As Malos was sent back by the attack, Malos heard something and turned to see Tifa rushing at him, then she quickly kicked him in the chest, before grabbing him by the shoulders and throwing him to the ground, but she leaped in the air and slammed her knee into his chest.
Back over with the others, B/N's speed prevented him from getting cut, but as both Gray and Gajeel pressed forward with their own swords, B/N found himself unable to get an opening. When he locked blades with both of them, Natsu was just above him preparing a massive fireball.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!
Natsu threw the fireball just as Gray and Gajeel jumped back. It made a direct hit, creating an explosion, which sent B/N into the air.
Gray pressed the advantage they now had. He placed the right side of his fist into his left palm and a blade formed on his right hand and left elbow. He leaped straight for the airborne B/N.
Gray: Ice Blade: Seven Strike Dance!
With multiple twirls, Gray was able to land seven successful blade slashes at B/N, sending him flying in the opposite direction, where Gajeel was waiting for him.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs!
Gajeel's arm turned into an iron spear and he thrusted multiple green energy spears that flew to B/N like bullets, all of them hit him dead on, and he fell to the floor on his back.
B/N got up to his knee, but Gray appeared behind him and placed a hand on his right shoulder
Gray: Freeze!
B/N's body was then completely covered in ice. He jumped back.
Gray: Natsu! Gajeel! NOW!!!
Natsu: Fire Dragon...
Gajeel: Iron Dragon...
Natsu/Gajeel: ...ROAR!!!
Both Dragon Slayers unleashed their respective breath attacks which both made direct contact with the frozen B/N and exploded in a massive furry of fire, ice, and iron.
Malos: (looks over) Well crap!
Cloud: Crap indeed! Omnislash!
Cloud then charges up his sword with a white magical aura, and then lunges towards Malos to and then unleash a barrage of sword strikes, before jumping in the air and charging his sword one more time before unleashing a final slash that he brings down on top of Malos creating a dust cloud.
Elfman: Alright! That's what I'm talking about!
Loke: They went a little overboard, but I'm not complaining.
Cana: You guys owned that bastard!
Ur: (smirk) Hah! You showed him!
Wendy, Happy, Levy, Lucy, Juvia, Bickslow, Evergreen, Freed, and Mirajane: They did it!
Nia: (looks over) You're kidding, B/N and Malos are being beat up by this rag tag bunch?!
Dromarch: It would appear so, My Lady.
Carla: My... such power.
Erza had her own smile of relief as well. However, Raven, Kat, Trish, and Lady both looked to each other with looks of concern, knowing that it wasn't over yet.
???: I must admit, that was exhilarating.
A voice spoke from the cloud of smoke; everyone looked shocked as they heard that voice. The smoke cleared to reveal B/N, his dark blue robe was torn a bit, but other than that he was only covered in a few minor scratches and bruises, and still standing tall.
B/N: But as I said before, humans cannot defeat a Devil like me.
Then suddenly, the ground underneath Cloud broke apart to reveal Malos with his armor damaged enough to show his wound from Igneel.
Malos: (crack his neck) Not bad! But still not enough.
Natsu: (shocked) What the hell?! Those two are only a little hurt?!
Lucy: (scared) All that... and they... only have a few... scratches...?
Gray: (frustrated) Come on! We pored everything we had into that!
Levy: (frightened) If that... couldn't beat them... what will?
Wendy: (shocked) Just how strong... are they?
Carla: (shaking) B/N is... the grandson of Sparda... after all.
Gajeel: (surprised) But how? I don't get it... I know that they're crazy strong and all; but we whipped out a ton of Dragon Slayer Magic combined with Gray's Ice-Make Magic and Cloud's power on them! How are they still standing?!
Malos: You guys really know how to fight. But....
Malos then removed the rest of his armor to reveal a Core Crystal around his chest. It was dark purple and shaped like a cross. Though on half of it, you could have a small tint of dark blue in it.
Malos: It's nothing compare to our powers.
B/N lowered his shirt which reveals the same Core Crystal as Malos has.
Nia: (shocked) Huh? That's a..... That's a Core Crystal! Malos is a Blade?!
Dromarch: It is possible, but B/N has the same Core Crystal as Malos.
Malos: This? During the war between Sparda and Mundus, I fought Igneel. It was a vicious one to be exact. As our battle reached it's climax, he used his flames to pierce through my body. As I said to hurt like hell. With the Aegis' help, he tried to finish me off. I escaped though, but not with other major injuries. I was forced to enter a sleep-like state to recharge. (look at Natsu) You should've seen what those two did to me, I'm certain I lost a chunk of my head.
B/N: However, during my time after my loss against Y/N in our first battle, the two of us met by fate.
(flashback)
The flashback starts with B/N holding his hand over his injuries as he laid against a tree.
B/N: Gah... Damn you, Y/N. Why did you choose the wrong side?
B/N grunts as he looks at his hand which has his blood covering it.
B/N: (groan) Damn it, it's worse than I originally thought. (grunt in pain) I cannot go to a hospital. They alert someone.
???: Well, well, well. What do we have here?
B/N weakly looks up and sees Malos who stands in front of him.
Malos: I thought I sensed something familiar. You..... have the blood of that damned Sparda flowing in your veins don't you. (look at Yamato) And Yamato too. (grabs it) This is my lucky day!
B/N: Here as an assassin hired by someone who wants me dead? If it's revenge you want, have at it. If it's restitution, there's nothing left.
Malos: Hmmm. (look at Yamato) I won't kill you yet. Now.....
Malos quickly draws Yamato and points at his neck.
Malos: Tell me where Sparda hid the Aegis!
B/N: (raised a brow) The Aegis? I have no idea what you're talking about. Besides, my grandfather died decades ago.
Malos: Oh, he did now? Well this is my lucky day. But still don't play dumb with me, Kin of Sparda! He surely told someone in his family where he hid the Aegis! (moves Yamato closer to his neck) Tell me NOW!
B/N: Go ahead, kill me. I'm nothing but a broken shadow of my former self. If you truly want the bloodline of Sparda gone, now's your chance to end one of them.
Malos: (tick) Well, aren't we the little death seeker. Well if it's death you want then fine, but first tell me where I can find the others who share Sparda wretch blood! If you don't know where the Aegis is then surely one of them do.
B/N: The only ones are my father Dante and his brother Vergil, though they're trapped in the Underworld. And then there's my younger brother, Y/N.
Malos: Great and with Sparda dead, I never find that blasted women! Damn it, what do I do now?!
B/N: You can start off by killing me. I wanted to rule the world due to what it currently is now, humans and Faunus are nothing but savages, fighting each other for survival. They're no better than....
Malos: Than demons?
B/N: ......
Malos: No matter what they look like, the people of this world deep down are just natural born killers. They think so mighty of themselves. Well they're not, ain't they?
B/N: Yeah, that thought of them makes me want to vomit on their corpses.
Malos: I don't recommend it though. Your mouth will taste awful. Strange, that someone with the blood of Sparda would think such thoughts.
B/N: You feel the same about them, don't you?
Malos: Years ago, I tried wiping them out. But your grandfather stopped me, along with the Aegis and that bastard, Igneel. (think for a moment) Yes, that could work. It could indeed. (looks at B/N with a grin) It's your lucky day. (removes Yamato from his neck) I'm not gonna kill you.
B/N: (looks up) What?
Malos touched the center of his armor and with a dark purple flash revealed to B/N his wound and his Core Crystal which was broken in half.
Malos: What do you think? Nasty, huh?
B/N: (surprised) You're not human... Who or what are you?
Malos: The names Malos. I'm a Blade, and I got a deal for you.
B/N: A deal?
Malos: Years ago, your grandfather battled Mundus in a great war, on his side were the almighty Dragons, The Aegis, and several of his closest allies. During this war, I tried to destroy humanity, but as I said before he stopped me and as a result I was damaged as you can plainly see. Now after a bit of rest for a long time. I was able to stand on my own two feet, but as you can see two parts ain't fixed up. (point to B/N) And that's where you come in.
B/N: Where do I come in?
Malos: (points to his Core Crystal) See this? My Core Crystal got damaged during my attempt to end humanity. To repair it, I need to find the Aegis and take her memories. But there is another way. (toss him Yamato) One that involves you, and Yamato.
B/N: A generous offer. Why me?
Malos: Because of the way, you think. You think just like me. Plus, it would make your grandfather's corpse turn over in his grave. If you help me out. And (look at B/N's wound) besides, that wound you got is likely to kill you.
B/N: .....Will I be able to attain a greater power than what I currently have?
Malos: (smirk) Trust me. I used to go toe to toe with Sparda. Now what do you say? Are you up for it?
B/N takes his time thinking about it before he looks up at Malos with a motivational look.
B/N: Very well, I'll accept your offer.
Malos: Good, you won't regret it. (thrust out his hand as a dark purple data circle appeared) Now this is gonna hurt.
Then a stream of dark purple data comes out and wraps itself around B/N and Yamato. The camera pans out to an aerial view as B/N screams out in pain as a dark purple light appears.
(flashback ended)
Malos: With that my Core Crystal was fixed. (look at his wound from Igneel) Though this thing is still around. (looks at them) Oh well, that's what happens when you cut corners. But (raised his sword skyward) I got my powers back! That's what truly matters. And as a result (looks at B/N's Core Crystal) It gave B/N a nice little upgrade.
B/N: "Power". That is what I have been saying all alone, power is the only thing that matters. Malos has shown me the true importance of power, something that Vergil lacked and failed to achieve. So allow me to show you the power that I have, the power passed on from my grandfather to my father, the power that Malos granted me for becoming his Driver, the power will allow me to take both worlds as my own.
Nia: (to B/N) So you just allowed him to mess up your body? Are you gonna do it again, if you see a chance?
B/N: No, I've stopped holding back now. It's for me to get serious.
Malos: I guess playtime is over.
His eyes closed as a dark blue aura formed around him and blue wind began to circle around him at intense speeds; forcing Natsu, Gajeel, and Gray to cover their faces a bit.
Happy: Woah! What's happening to him?!
Erza and Mira both saw this and were shaking with fear as they could feel the power. They both had felt this power before and they knew exactly what was coming next. The blue wind circled B/N more and more as a blue glow began to cover his body.
Trish: GUYS!!! GET BACK NOW!!!
Lady: You're no match for him when he's like that!
Gray: What are you talking about?!
Kat: She's right! You have to get out of there!
https://youtu.be/-y9yn_quiio
A large flash of blue light; forcing everyone to cover their eyes. When the light subsided; all could look in shock, and most trembled, at what stood in B/N's place.
Natsu: (frightened) You've gotta be kidding me.
Gajeel: (shocked) No way.
Raven: Run! Devil Trigger is something you cannot beat!
B/N's body no longer had its human appearance; he had now, once again, attained his demonic form for he had activated his Devil Trigger. One look from his glowing blue eyes made everyone tremble.
B/N: Now, I shall show you my true destructive power.
The demonic B/N quickly zooming to Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Cloud, and Tifa and blasting them all back to the far side of the chamber, all five smacked against the wall.
Gray was amongst the first to recover only for the demonic B/N to appear in front of him and blast him further back. Gray quickly got back on his feet.
Gray: Ice-Make: Shield!
Gray created a shield that took the shape of rose petals, but B/N zoomed through it, shattering it like it was nothing.
Gray looked in shock as his face was inches from B/N's demon face. He gave the swipe of his black Yamato blade; creating a massive energy wave, that sent Gray soaring to the wall that was near the imprisoned wizards and he smashed into the wall, leaving an impression before falling to the ground face first.
Ur, Loke, Lucy, Elfman, and Freed: GRAY!!!
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Club!
Gajeel tried to hit B/N from behind with his club but he vanished and quickly reappeared in front of Gajeel and gave a slash in the back, resulting in him yelling in pain as he rolled away.
He got up on his knees but B/N thrusted his black blade forward, creating multiple, dark blue energy slices that soared to Gajeel.
Gajeel: (thoughts) I don't believe it, he's cutting through my scales!
B/N finished by zooming forward with his outstretched blade and reappearing behind him. Two seconds later, a large slash cut away the last of Gajeel's scales as he yelled in agony.
Levy, Wendy, and Bickslow: GAJEEL!!!
Gajeel fell.
Gajeel: You piece of....!
B/N turned to see Natsu coming right at him with a flaming fist.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!
However, his look became one of shock as B/N caught the fist in his hand with minimal effort. He squeezed his hand, crushing Natsu's fist and causing him to scream in pain
B/N: I've had enough of you, Natsu Dragneel.
The Devil Trigger B/N flung Natsu to the other side of the chamber, leaving a large impression that he was stuck in.
Happy: Natsu!
Cloud lept toward him and brought his Buster Sword upward for an overhead slash, but B/N grabbed it with his claw and threw him to the wall.
Aerith: Cloud!
Tifa came and punched B/N, but he turned toher as if it didn't phase him. His hand was coated with a dark purple aura.
B/N: Darkness Aegis Void Fist!
He punched Tifa in the gut, causing her to cough before she was blasted and sent flying to a wall.
Kat: TIFA!!!
Carla: What was that?!
Mirajane: It was like Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy's Dragon Slayer magic.
B/N: Indeed, however this is different compared to Dragon Slayer Magic. As the Driver of an Aegis, I gained an additional power besides my Devil Trigger. I am the Darkness Aegis Slayer, a Driver wielding the power of darkness and destruction.
Malos: Know you, wondering what does the Aegis Slayer slays? It's quite simple. It means he slays the world itself! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Malos looked upwards and thrust his hand upwards.
Malos: Darkness Aegis Shadow Buster!
Malos created a ball of dark energy and then crushed it and then reopened it to unleash a beam of darkness at the roof, completely destroying and allowing them to see the clouds in the night sky. Soon it started to rain as Malos thrust his arms wide.
Malos: Beautiful, isn't it?
Everyone could only look in honest horror as B/N just took down not only Cloud and Tifa, but three of Fairy Tail's best like this, even those like Erza, Mira, Raven, Kat, Lady, and Trish, who had seen this power before, but still couldn't believe how strong it was.
Wendy saw all this and was scared out of her mind, but then, something sparked in her. She had just become a part of this family, and she was not about to lose it like this. Carla had finished picking the lock, unlocking Wendy's chains. She fell slightly before running a bit straight to B/N.
Wendy: Even if he is Y/N's brother, I won't let B/N get away with this!
Wendy ran towards the ground.
Carla: Wendy! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!
Wendy: Sky Dragon Roar!
Wendy unleashed her breath attack that went straight for B/N, who turned his head slightly to the attack. There was a large explosion of Sky Magic where B/N once stood. Wendy took a few deep breaths as she watched the smoke cleared, when it did, no one was there, much to Wendy's surprise.
Wendy: Where is he?
Lucy: WENDY!!! BEHIND YOU!!!
Wendy turned around to see the Devil Trigger B/N slap Wendy across the face and send her flying and crashing into the wall.
Carla, Lucy, Trish, Erza, Levy, Mirajane, and Cana: Wendy!
Wendy recovered but fell to her knees as she held her cheek where B/N slapped her. Tears already began to fall as it hurt badly.
Nia: (whispers) He wouldn't.....
B/N: Foolish girl. Even after witnessing my power, you still defied me. Very well then, you've proven to me that you are a nuisance, now die.
B/N flew forward with his black Yamato at the ready. Wendy screamed as he came close to her and she closed her eyes.
The group: WENDY!!!
B/N came right to her.
*Slash*
Wendy knew she heard a sword slice, but she didn't feel anything. Everyone all looked in shock at what just happened. Gajeel, Gray, and Cloud had just recovered to see what just happened, even the Devil Trigger B/N raised an eyebrow in minor surprise.
Wendy slowly opened her eyes, once she saw it, her eyes widened in absolute shock.
Wendy: N-N-N-Natsu......
Natsu was standing in front of Wendy, expanding his arms like a cross-formation and exposing his chest as the rain hit him. B/N was in front of Natsu, his blade down. He had just taken the hit for her.
Natsu: (struggled) I won't... let you... hurt my... sister.
Once he finished, a diagonal red line formed on his chest before blood all sprayed out of it.
Happy, Erza, Lucy, Levy, and Mirajane: NAAAATTTSSSUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Natsu slowly fell backwards.
Gray, Loke, Freed, Evergreen, Bickslow, Ur, Aerith, Elfman, Cana, Kat, and Trish: NATSU!!!
Natsu slowly came closer to the ground.
Gajeel, Barrett, and Lady: SALAMANDER!!!
Raven looked speechless as Natsu fell right in front of Wendy, who had a look mixed with terror and surprise as tears streamed down her eyes.
Nia and Dromarch starred in a bit of shock while Malos was completely indifferent.
Malos: (scoff) Idiot. Should've allowed her to be hit. I guess Igneel chose poorly after all.
Nia: (runs toward B/N) B/N! Why did you kill him?! WHY?! What did he ever do to you?!
But B/N just walked away, not listening to her.
Nia: B/N!!!
B/N: Malos, you and Nia can clear up the mess here.
Malos: Got it! (look at Nia) Nia. End them.
Nia: (surprised) End? End how?
Malos: The price for their lives has already been paid in full. Now that they know of us, the fewer living souls know about it, the better.
Nia: I-I can't do that! These people haven't done anything wrong!
Malos stopped walking and turned to her with a dark look on his face.
Malos: I don't understand you. Now, now. Have you forgotten why you came here to begin with, Nia?
Nia: No... I haven't.. But still, killing them... can't we just, you know... let them go?
Malos: Oh, for the love of...! Fine. I'll handle it myself.
Malos began to walk past Nia, a dark menacing aura covering him and only growing more and more intense with each step.
B/N: How foolish. I knew he wasn't the smartest, but to do something as stupid as that... I'll never understand these guild wizards.
Wendy then held Natsu's head as he coughed up blood. She looked in horror as she saw the older brother she never had in so much pain; covered in this much blood.
Wendy: (tears came down her cheeks) You... you... monster... How could you...?
B/N: He stood in front of my attack, it was not intended for him.
Gray: (angry) YOU PIECE OF CRAP!!!
Happy: YOU MONSTER!!!
Happy angrily flew straight to B/N seeking revenge for Natsu, but the devil grabbed Happy and threw him away into a puddle of water. Malos walked up the group and pointed his sword at them.
B/N: How pathetic, to think you can stand against me?
B/N then grabbed Wendy by her shirt before he raised the Yamato.
B/N: Don't worry, Wendy, you'll be joining Natsu next.
B/N was to deliver a final blow to Wendy, until...
???: BACK OFF!!!
B/N's face then had a boot planted on it; forcing him to let go of Wendy. A hand then reached down to B/N's side and snatched something. With a large blade's red slice, B/N was forced back quite the distance.
They all turned to see who it was and looked surprised at who it was. Because land gracefully on the ground, in front of the bleeding Natsu, Wendy, and Happy was...
Raven: Y/N......
Lucy: I never thought I'd be so happy to see him.
Aerith: Thank god!
Juvia: (hearts in her eyes) My Darling Y/N!
Lucy and everyone else all gained smiles at seeing him. However, the only one not smiling (other than B/N, Nia, and Malosl) was Y/N himself. He could see all of this, and especially seeing Natsu, saying he was full of anger would be an understatement.
Y/N: (looks at B/N and Malos) ..........
Malos: Well, look who finally showed up!.
B/N: Hello brother.
Y/N: B/N. (held out his hand) You dropped something.
His hand held his red amulet, earning a surprised look from the Devil Trigger B/N.
B/N: Give that to me.
Y/N: No way, you've got your own.
B/N: Well, I want yours too.
Malos: (points his sword at him) You heard him!
Y/N: (turns to the group) You guys are probably wondering why this thing is so special? (held out his amulet) B/N's also got one like this; our mother gave them to us on our own birthdays. Oh and get this, they are both halves of the key that unlocks the door to the Demon World.
That earned a surprised look from everyone present (with the exceptions being B/N, Malos, Raven, Kat, Trish, and Lady).
Raven: I told Summer to place it somewhere safe. Not to give to you two! But no, she had to give it to you two as a birthday gift!
Wendy: That's... the key... to the Demon World?
Y/N: Yeah, my grandfather wasn't exactly the best planner; probably should have hidden it in a volcano or something.
B/N: Originally it was a key to the Demon World, but it was given to humans as a gift. I would agree that it wasn't the best plan our grandfather had come up with.
Y/N: (turned to B/N) One question. Why? (gestures to the Fairy Tail wizards) Why did you involve them? This was between you and me. It had nothing to do with them!
Malos: Oh please. The moment you befriend them, was the moment they earned a target on their backs! You have the blood of Sparda flowing through you. Anyone who hates him, will hate you! And to kill they will use any means possible!
B/N: Since you joined their guild, it was evident that they would have interfered, whether you would ask or not. I only sought to remove them so they wouldn't interfere.
Y/N clenched the fist that held the amulet.
Y/N: I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry I brought this all on you. But I promise that I'm gonna make it right starting now.
Everyone all watched as Y/N slowly walked to his brother's Devil Trigger appearance.
B/N: One last time, give me the amulet.
Y/N: You want it? Come and take it.
Malos: Gladly! (rushes at him)
But before he could, the ground around Malos and B/N began to heat up.
Malos: (gasped) What the-?!
Suddenly, a large pillar made out of fire broke through the ground forcing Malos and B/N to leap backwards.
Malos: Fire? (to B/N) I thought you took care of Gecko Boy!
B/N: I did. If it's not him... (eyes widen in surprise) could it be?
Just then, a figure jumped over and landed next to Y/N, revealing to be Pyra.
Pyra: Hello.... Malos.
Ur: Who is that?
Red: Is she a friend?
Tifa: Wait, look at Y/N's chest.
Like B/N, Y/N had now taken a Core Crystal but in the shape of X and was colored emerald green.
Malos: (shocked) You? (notices Pyra's sword Y/N has on his back) And that sword? It can't be!
Malos turned to B/N and grabbed him by the throat.
Malos: (angry) SHE WAS UNDERNEATH THIS PLACE THE WHOLE TIME?!?!?!?!
B/N: (unphased) I wasn't even aware of that. It appears grandfather kept it secret from even his sons.
Malos: (growls at him) AHHHHH!!! DAMN IT!!! (releases him)
Y/N: What's wrong, Malos? You think B/N is the only one as the Driver of an Aegis. Tough break.
Pyra then whispered something in his ear, causing Y/N to grin at her.
Y/N: Ohhhhhh. I like it. (to Malos) Hey Malos, is that hole in your chest a way of saying you're bad at piercing?
Pyra giggles while Malos looks annoyed and angered.
Malos: You brat!
Y/N: What can I say? I crack jokes like my dad.
He closed his eyes and a red glow formed around him. Red wind began to circle him and engulf his body, it began to glow a brighter red until there was a bright red flash, forcing everyone to cover their eyes. Once the flash was done, all the heroes could only look in complete surprise at what was now standing in Y/N's place.
His body was mostly red; save for a black chest, it looked like he still had a red jacket that was now a part of his skin, which now had scales on it. He also had black lines that were near his legs. His feet were red claws and his hands were black claws. He had two large black bat-like wings on his back. He had a black face with silver horns and glowing yellow eyes. His right hand held the Rebellion which was a black sword now.
Raven: That form... is that?
Cloud: It is. Y/N has unlocked his Devil Trigger.
Pyra: I have to say not bad huh?
Y/N: Yeah, not too shabby.
B/N: So, you too have your Devil Trigger, now.
Y/N: Of course, we are the grandsons of Sparda. Within each of us, his blood flows. But more importantly, his Soul! And my soul is saying that it wants to stop you!
B/N gave a dark and ironic laugh.
B/N: Unfortunately, our souls are at odds brother. I need more power! (clenched his fist)
Malos: (looks at Pyra) So, once again. You stand by the side of Sparda.
Pyra: (glares) And you still stand at the side of evil.
Malos: (grin) Of course, I do... Sister.
Y/N began to glow a dark red, while B/N began to glow a dark blue as both Devil Trigger brothers stared at each other then. Y/N motioned his right claw to come forward.
Y/N: Come on, Bro. Let's go.
Chapter 20 ended.
Done! What do you guys think? I worked hard on this chapter. I'm sure you guys have been looking forward to this.
Thank you all for all your support. We all know what's coming next. And next chapter is gonna be exciting! With a dual showdown between siblings!
