"FIRE DRAGON'S SWORD HORN!" Natsu is back in the fight and his attack takes the creature on the back of the knee forcing it down. Mirajane swooping in and dealing an uppercut that makes the air rattle.
"Get back!!" Both mages listen and get back before several Gaster Blasters appear above it and open fire.
"RAHHH!! The monster roars as the beams bore into it and it raises it's arm to fire off a barrage of shots that shatter my Blasters.
"Let's take a little off the top ebi!" Cancer suddenly lunges in, scissors cutting away at the demon and leaving gouges in it's armor. Albedo joining in the attack and swinging her ax, taking the unbroken horn off the beast and Shalltear dives in to grab it and ram it into the creature's side; burying the bone deep. A raised arm is poised to slam into her but I have two Gaster Blasters bite down and fire; reducing the limb to a hunk of burnt meat and scorched bone.
"Alright everyone, keep it up! More restraints rise and then the creature's canon starts to glow brighter; lines of energy forming along it's armor as well.
"Guys I don't think that's a good thing for us." Lucy calls out and everyone has to agree given it still manages to tear it's way out of it's restraints with the injuries it has.
-x-X-x-
We don't wait to find out what the creature is trying to do, we don't give it a second to try and enact whatever it's trying to do. We just throw whatever spells we can at it; Shalltear using her holy magic, Natsu pushing a larger roar then I've ever seen from him, bullets of water firing like a machine gun, Extinction Stream from Mirajane and Elemental Gaster Blasters engulf the monster and it's screams ring out.
We don't stop firing till the screaming is cut off for a minute and then Albedo and Cancer dive in and carve into the body for good measure. We all take a second to breath heavily as the corpse stays a corpse.

-x-X-x-
Okay that has potential down the line but for now there's a blue haired prick we need to beat down and fairy queen to rescue. I then blink as Mirajane approaches the body and stares down at it before reaching down and placing her hand on it.
.
-------------->
.
"Well what are we waiting for, the bastard at the top is still standing.!" Mirajane barks out as she stretches out and examines her new form. I still take a second to check on her, putting my hand on her shoulder and looking her over.
"How you feeling?" Mirajane smirks at me and practically purrs her answer.
"Fantastic, now lets go get our girl back."
-x-X-x-
The teams were split up based on need; Natsu and Juvia was in charge of destruction with Lucy and the Pleiades backing him up while Millianna and Erza's other friends helped them get to vital areas. Shalltear, Albedo, and Ushi would be accompanying Mirajane and myself; the former two mostly because I had a plan for them that would take them out of the fight while Ushi could get Erza out quickly if need be.
With a quick promise between out groups to stay safe and to deck the Jellal once for everyone we split up; my group heading up, Natsu's heading down. I wasn't sure what to expect after the asset Tartaros had supplied Jellal but no one else got in our way. If I had to guess the other big change had been Jellal deciding to hold Erza at the top of the tower rather then the cells in the basement.
Mirajane floated above the ground in her new form; clearly slower then Satan Soul but if the arm was anything to go by her firepower would be much more intense. The tension grows as we go up step by step; the unspoken worry of what condition Erza might be haunting us with each step.
"DIE JELLAL!!" A load come off my back at that cry of rage as we break through the final door and find Erza trying to bury her sword in Jellal. Their focus on each other so intense neither seems to notice us.
.
-------------->
.
"You would really kill me Erza, your old.."
"You are my past; one I have worked to overcome. I have new people in my heart that mean a great deal more to me. People I have to get back to and if I need to cleave your head from your shoulders then so be it; your sins demand it anyway."
"Ahh, you're going to make me blush Erza." Erza stops and shoots one eye over to us, a small smile coming onto her face as she takes us in and the fact Mirajane is wielding her magic once more.
"Roxas, Mirajane are the the others…" I shoot her a smile and a Gaster Blaster at Jellal when he makes move towards her; he dodges easily but it keeps him back from her.
"They're fine; we got your friends to get their heads on straight and they're letting Natsu know where to go wild." As if he's listening in the tower shakes and I shoot Jellal a nasty smirk. "I don't think your grand plan is going to work out once Natsu reduces this place to rubble."
"HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO STOP ME! I'll plow right through you and go put that lizard and those traitors down; I might have to break a few limbs but now I have two potential sacrifices."
.
--------->
.
Slipping a new loadout in; dismissing Albedo and Shalltear as I do so I give I through off my jacket and shirt. United We Stand letting me call upon the power of the two floor guardians and I'm just itching to put it to use.
-x-X-x-
"DEMON GATTLING!!" Mirajane moves first; her gun spinning up and releasing dozens of magical bullets that raced toward Jellal; the smug bastard smirking as a wall of darkness rises up with but a gesture and absorbs the attack. Erza dashes forward though; sword little more then a blur as she slices the wall in two.
"What?!" I'm on him in a second; Shalltear and Albedo's power coursing through me as I aim to put my fist through his skull.
"Tch." Jellal doesn't even act scard, a cry of Metor leaving his lips and a golden aura surrounding him as he dodges out of the way. His speed kicking up to a whole new level and if I remember right his strength does as well but I see it as a win; we made him use something other then his darkness magic.
Now lets see just how a Floor Guardian's strenght matches the heavens.
I chase him; Ushi and Erza also able to keep up with him and forcing him on the defensive least he taste their blades. Mirajane taking up the long-range support role with her new form.
It's not easy, Jellal isn't an idiot and he shows off his talent with the use of his darkness magic to force us to be careful least we get impaled on dark spikes or grabbed by the dark hands.
Mirajane is rusty; there's no denying it but she's not a novice and she's more then capable of working out where to aim to match Jellal's path and eventually he has to choose to stop moving or run right into Mirajane. He chooses to stop and we meet each other in a fisticuffs.
Our skill is about even; neither of us are bad but we're not winning any competitions purely on it. Still I'm landing more blows as the exchange drags on and as we keep going I can tell I have better stats.
"You fucked with the wrong Guild buddy and I've got a lot of beating to give you on behalf of those that can't be here." Jellal can't give a response as Erza lands a blow to his side that has him cry out in pain as her blade bites into his flesh and Mirajane follows up with a blasting him back into a wall.
"No… I WON'T ALLOW THIS!! I WILL BRING ABOUT THE PROMISED WORLD!! I AM THE ONE CHOSEN TO BRING PEACE TO THIS LAND AND I WILL NOT FAIL!!"
-x-X-x-
The smell of smoke is starting to waft up, the rumbling and shaking picking up and I can see Jellal getting more nervous. I'm not real sure of how good a look the council is getting at the tower but if they can see what Natsu's up to they might just stop from firing the cannon.
If I wasn't so focused on cratering this prick's head I'd probably wonder a bit more on how that will affect the council but that's a future problem. Right now I'm dodging the much inferior Pleiades Jellal is tossing around at us; Mirajane getting into a flying shoot oout with him while I take the chance to check on Erza.
"How are you feeling?"
"Better, that owl creep's magic was disgusting and when he spat me out they sprayed something in my face that clouded my mind for a bit but I managed to power through it. Should we be worried about anyone showing up to help him?"
"I think we got them all but Mirajane got that form from some demon Tartaros sent to help him."
"I shouldn't be surprised one of the big three dark guild sent aid but still… the rest can wait for later let's get back in the fight." I nod at Erza's statement and make to get back in the fight when the tower starts to shake once more but in a much more sustained way and light starts to appear outside even with the sun long set.
"Hah!! They finally did it; my victory is at hand."
"Shit; MIRAJANE GET OVER HERE!!" Mirajane dives over and I surround us with Gaster Blasters right before the Etherion crashes down. I'm actually glad Natsu failed because without the tower's protection there was no way we'd have survived the weapon that was half the reason Alvarez backed off.
When the shaking stops and the I blink the spots out of my eyes the tower is now crystal and two Jellal's stand before us.
"Siegrain!?" Erza cries out in shock as both 'men' shoot a smirk at her and then start speaking in unison.
"Yes, although he's not my twin brother. No Siegrain was always a thought projection I used to twist the council to my whims and keep an eye on you. And now that said ruse is done I have access to my full power again. Now be a good dear and DIE FOR ME!!"
.
-------->
.
-x-X-x-
The second 'Siegrain' disappears is the second this fight ramps up into a whole new level of difficulty. Jellal's power really does leap when he's no longer having to project Siegrain.
The shots of light are faster and glow even brighter with power, collisions with Mirajane's own shots ending in his favor more often then not. Erza's blade can no longer easily cut into him; the cloak of energy surrounding him acting as armor and leaving him far more cocky but the his right to be confidence is hard to deny when he zips through a practical maze of Gaster Blasters to appear in front of me; fist swinging at me and slamming into my arm as I guard my vitals. I feel a slight burn for a few seconds as the light burns and then I'm shot back into the wall. Jellal laughing madly as I slide down to the ground.
"Ah it's been so long since I got to use my full power. I forgot how amazing it is; and now I can give you all my full focus.." He stops hand lashing out to grab Mirajane's own as she rushes him in a burst of speed cloaked in her own dark energy while the mechanical parts of her new form glow red along the seams. Her face one of surprise as he easily catches her attack and then slams her into the ground before spinning and throwing her aside.
".. as I said with my full focus I can fully savor this moment. I will beat you down and let you watch as Erza is broken down and molded anew into Zeref's new vessal. You can be his first victims."
"You don't get to touch them!" Erza screams as she charges at him from behind and Jellal reacts quickly swinging around and slicing at her with his own sword of light. Erza reacts quick enough to avoid being slice open, bouncing back on her heels and leaning back but it's not enough to avoid everything and her bandages flutter to the floor in pieces. A scowl full of hate and anger appearing on her face as she's exposed to Jellal; I'm sure it mirrored on mine.
Jellal though; I almost laugh at the look on his face. Surprise, lust, and hesitation as though he doesn't know how to react and the aura around him flickers. Looks like cult boy is completely out of his depth at a pair of tits on display, I'd judge less in other circumstances but screw him. I'll just take the opening he gives me.
Jellal turns around just in time for the blow to slam into his arm right as his Meteor spell is down, a satisfying crack echoing out and Jellal screams as his arm snaps. I eat a blast of light to the gut for it but my durability means it's more sucker punch then anything else and Jellal takes the chance to pull back, narrowly avoiding a slash at his spine from Erza.
-x-X-x-
You'd think a broken arm would slow a guy down and in a way it does because he now has to improvise or slow down for some of his spells that require gestures. However all the other things you'd thank that would slow him down, pain, worry, etc, yeah he's a crazy cultist fully willing to ignore those and power through to 'revive' his god. If anything the damage to his arm makes him more willing to damage the room around us as his blasts are power up and hit a lot harder as we all find out.
Attacking becomes a fleeting thought in the face of dodging or survival and while we're not helpless: Erza cutting through attacks, Mirajane countering or zipping around many, my Gaster Blaster taking the hits for me, we're getting whittled away bit by bit. Mirajane's new limbs getting chipped, welts and burns along Erza's body and I'm sure I'm the same even with Shalltear and Albedo's stats boosting mine; it certainly feels like it.
"AHHH!!"
"MIRA!!" Both Erza and I cry out as we dash to catch Mirajane as she plummets with one wing singed with a hole through it. Jellal laughing as a massive ball of energy forms above his raised hand.
"YES SCURRY LIKE WORMS!! KEEP UP THIS FUTILE STRUGGLE IT WILL MAKE THIS ALL THE MORE SATISFYING!!" He launches the attack towards us and I pull up some Blasters to act as shields, hoping they can take the brunt of the attack.
"RAAHHHHHH!!!!!" A pillar of fire erupts from the ground between us and the attack, the flames consuming the light itself as they clash. A form appear in the center of the pillar and lands on the ground.
"Seriously; I figured you guys would be done with him by now."
"Natsu!" Erza cries out and he grins at her.
"Hehe Lucy said it was a bad idea but I figured eating those crystals had to help right. Don't worry about the others their on the boat but I figured someone had to come check on you guys."
"No.. it can't be…" Jellal's shock is a wholesome balm after the beatdown he just gave us. Natsu's kindness melting away into a glare as he turns to look at the man behind this all.
"So you're the one who hurt my friends huh, hope you're ready to burn."
-x-X-x-
Dragon Force is OP, there is no other way to say it. What else is there to say as Natsu dismantles Jellal like it's nothing; his fires eating away at his attacks, melting the walls and turning the room into an oven; as much as we want to we need to stay back to not suddenly become spontaneously dehydrated and it lets us check over Mirajane who swears she'll be fine but a hole in her body anywhere has me on edge.
"Jeez, how is Natsu doing this." Mirajane is the one to ask and I answer.
"I read about this, I don't know the exact mechanics but this is Dragon Force. A form where they are said to truly be as strong as the creatures their magic is designed after." And getting between a dragon and it's prey did not sound like a good idea; thankfully I have other options.
"You might have gotten stronger but it's not enough.. GAH!!" Jellal's path is blocked by a Blaster; forcing him to dodge right into Natsu's knee. The blow sends the blue hair psycho into the wall but he bounces back and starts moving around but now I've got multiple Blasters out, strafing him, getting in his way, or taking blows for Natsu to let the Fire Dragon Slayer dish out the pain as the scales continue to spread across his face and his fangs grow sharper Natsu's.
"Tch, stupid things! Why won't you all just lay down and die, I will bring about an end to the suffering of this world, a world of peace and freedom will be mine!!" His focus fully on us, eyes practically bulging in madness he doesn't react in time when I form two blasters already posed to bite on his arms.
"GAHHH!!" I put everything I can into enforcing the Blasters, making sure that enhancement spell of his can't stop their fangs from sinking into his flesh. Natsu practically bursting into existence below Jellal with a flash of flames and a Roar that sends Jellal flying into the air, one arm left behind in the grip of a Blaster. Flames erupt from his feet and our pink-haired compatriot shoots into the air to stop right above Jellal.
"You want a world of freedom! Don't make me laugh; any world built on slavery, on the suffering you caused isn't one of freedom at all! And you're still just a slave! TO THIS VISION! TO THIS TOWER!! IF YOU WANT THE WORLD TO HAVE TRUE FREEDOM THEN FIND IT YOURSELF!! FIRE DRAGON'S SWORD HORN!!" Natsu rushes forward, flames in the shape of a dragon, and slams into Jellal. The both of them crashing down; right before they hit the ground Natsu changes his stance and grips Jellal by the leg with a savage grin.
"HEY ROXAS! I AIN'T GOING TO MAKE YOU A LIAR AM I!!" With a swing he throws Jellal at me with a blast of fire to the back for extra impact and I shoot Natsu a grin.
"Thanks Natsu!! GUARDIAN IMPACT!!" All of Albedo and Shalltear's strenght in this blow; everything put into it. All the anger and hate, all the desire to see him fall.
"GAHHH!!" It feels so good to bury my fist into his face and watch it warp around it.
As Jellal's body bounces away and falls down the hole Natsu made on his way up, and judging from the fact I don't hear the Jellal hit the ground he must have went up more floors then I thought, I breathe a sigh of relief as a notification confirms he won't just pop back up.

I shove result and ideas it's giving me into the back of my mind as the tower starts to shake around us and then the floor starts to crack and beams of energy begin erupting from the ground/
"What's… What's happening?" Natsu asks as he takes a knee, exhaustion on his face as the scales vanish and I slip hoist him up and help support him as we start avoiding what remained of the ceiling that was now collapsing. Mirajane is the one to answer, similarly supported by Erza in her own body.
"The Ethernano, it's not meant to be in one place too long. If this keeps up…" Boom and quite frankly none of us could probably make a guess at just how far the explosion will reach.
"Okay so we get out of here and …"
"No." Erza cuts me off and then Mirajane cries out as she's tossed my way. I manage to catch her and see Erza give me a smile before running towards a large crystal that radiates an ominous aura.
"ERZA!!" All three of us cry and I make to move after her but floor spilts between our group and her and I have to wonder if the tower is alive.
"Jellal said the tower's power would be infused into me when I was sacrificed; If I take it into me I might be able to keep it from exploding or at least lessen it. You all need to get clear though; I LOVE YOU!!!" With that declaration Erza presses her hand against the crystal and starts screaming as it pulls her in.
"Mirajane, Natsu if the two of you work together do you think you'd be able to get down."
"Fuck you, I can already tell what you're thinking and I'm not letting you do it alone."
"Y..yeah, Fairy Tail sticks together." I don't bother trying to disude them as every second is precious and so I the three of us start rushing toward Erza's screaming form, her body already halfway inside the crystal. Natsu managing to push out some flame from his feet to give us a boost and we manage to grab Erza's left hand right before it's absorbed the three of us holding on tight as we're pulled inside.
-x-X-x-
The pain is … intense and I've still got United We Stand running; it's not just a physical pain. It's in my very soul and I'm not being edgy when I say that I'm being very literal; the nature of this can't be just physical or mental. I can see Erza staring at us in shock but don't let her react further before pulling her towards us. Mirajane and Natsu wrapping their arms around her and the three of us pulling her into an embrace and the pain lightens a little. We all pull back slightly after a few seconds look at each other. I tilt my chin up and they all nod; my idea clear. Rather then try and force the energy dormant we push it up and into the sky.
Forcing my magic out to connect with the Ethernano around us and try to impose my will upon it and as I do so I feel connections form with my guildmates.

When I shot back into consciousness it was on the boat we had previously captured if the sails I can see are to go by.; Lucy looking down on me in concern …. Oh wow everything hurts right now. Not in an agony with every twitch level at least but moving isn't fun.
"H..hey Starshine… are the others…" Lucy grips my hand and I manage to shake the cobwebs enough to realize I'm on her lap.
"Yeah, we fished you all out of the water and we're getting close to the casino. Natsu keeps vomiting this fluid that's worrisome but other then that you all just seemed exhausted."
"Th..that's good. I'm going to just enjoy the bedding and rest though."
"Sure.. sweet dreams Roxas."
-x-X-x-
They say Akane Resort's atmosphere is good for healing a tired body, mind, and soul in their advertisements. Given how quickly the four of us go from bedridden to moving around I'm willing to believe it. Quite frankly between the fights, the amount of magic we were throwing around, and the fact we nearly drowned we should be bed-ridden right now; now none of us were going to be picking fights but we could move about.
Sadly that meant dealing with Magic Knights and Council Investigators but they were quick and prompt. We managed to … selectively answer … certain questions well enough that no one tries to haul in Millianna and the others as they're 'victims of mental magic of some dark persuasion'. I think the council is happy to latch onto anything that might be used to save their asses but we'll see how that goes.
"Say ahh.." Virgo states; holding out a lightly steaming spoon to me; Erza and Mirajane getting similar treatment from Pleiades from their position on the bed. We might be able to move but everyone else isn't letting us; I have Yuri focused on Natsu actually so that he doesn't try to do something he shouldn't.
"Hmm, thank you Lupus."
"You as well CZ." Lupus smiles at the thanks and CZ nods and keep feeding the girls. Lucy looks up from her spot on the chair where she's reading a book and looks us over.
"Are you all sure you're okay because … you guys said you fused with the tower… you all could have died." Seeing the tears start to build up in her eyes I get up and move over to pull her into a hug, Erza and Mirajane following soon after and wrapping her up.
"Hey; don't worry. We're here and we're alright."
"I… I know I can't expect to just be as strong as you but I.. I could barely do anything. I had to run when things went to shit and leave you guys to … to.." Our hug tightens as she starts to cry harder.
"Lucy, Juvia told us that you were to one to keep things calm and keep Erza's friends from running back inside. If you hadn't done that they would be dead."
"Roxas is right Lucy and I can't… I can't begin to describe how thankful I am to you for making sure they lived… If anything happened to them after they finally free .. if I lost them again…" Erza doesn't say anymore but her grip tightens.
"Erza ribs!" That has her grip lessen and we all take a second to chuckle and Mirajane speaks up.
"Look Lucy, you're the best you that you can be right now and you're going to be amazing. Just .. just don't be afraid to ask for help or try to do something beyond you right now." Lucy nods at that and we let the hug continue for the time before we disperse.
-x-X-x-
"What the heck are you thinking?!" Erza is laying into the Simon, Sho, Wally and Millianna. The four of them having tried to take the boat we confiscated from the dark mages to sail off… which failed for two reasons. One is I had Entoma keep an eye on them with her friends to make sure they didn't do exactly this because this is a real world where cult kids do not handle the real world well and two) this boat needs more then four people to properly use when you don't have a water mage that can help you cheat.
"Look Erza it's not that we don't want to stay but…" Millianna starts off and Sho takes over when he quails under the redhead's glare.
"But we got to make our own way in the world right sis? Besides wouldn't it just make things uncomfortable after what we did?"
"Mirajane and I fought everyday over the stupidest things! I'm in a relationship with her now and you were mainpulated and lied to! I don't care about that!"
"It's not just that though Erza.." Simon interrupts, and props to the man he was taking Erza's taken status well, "You remember my sister, you might have kept her out of those monster's hands but I need to know what happened to her and Wally's brother might still be alive." Erza flinches at that and looks like she's trying to come up with a good response.
-x-X-x-
Erza is clearly trying to come up with a response but is struggling to come up with something that she could say and I can see her start to give but screw that. One of the worst ideas of the series was sending the cult kids out into the world and even if the smartest of them was alive. So I step in and decide list several of the problems I can think of.
"Right how many Jewels do you have on you?"
"Umm…"
"Do you know which areas are monitored by which guilds?
"No.."
"How about the faces or emblems of other dark guilds?" That one they can actually name a few but only the bigger ones.
"And I'm sure you have all the important documents that you need to present at various checkpoints between territories." I can practically hear the crickets chirping and even Natsu facepalms before giving his own two cents.
"If you all don't have money an you guys hunt, clean a kill, set up a shelter in the woods?" All perfectly valid questions coming from the boy raised in the wild by his dragon father and who lived on his own for a time and no one can answer positively.
"Right so we just charged a tower filled with dark mages and forbidden magic to save Erza and you all; we're not going to let you kill yourselves wandering around with no idea what to do."
"But we.."
"We are Fairy Tail, the greatest guild in the country with members who go all over the place and would be happy to keep an eye out. We can help your search, provide you a way to make money and get the lay of the land, and even provide a place that if your siblings hear about you searching for them they have a location to seek you out."
"But that still leaves the problem of standing on our own."
"Family helps family and you're Erza's so that makes you ours. I have room to put you up while you get your feet under you and if you're that determined to not accept pure charity then you can work for your keep but if you try to run I will let my familiars hunt you down and drag you back. Trust me you do not want that." Millianna pales and starts signaling at the others who then catch the grins on the faces of said familiars and they start nodding as well.
"Good, now lets all head back to our rooms and rest. We'll head back in the morning and get everything set up. Our Master should be able to help with document issues and what not and we'll go from there." The four of them get up off the sand and Erza pulls them all into a hug.
"I'm proud of you all for wanting to stand on your own but please let me help. We've lost so much time together already." I'm not sure if its the emotions or the cracking bones that have the four of them crying but none of them have a dry eye.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well the Resort was kind enough to give some rooms to the four future members of Fairy Tail, didn't realize they hadn't gotten their own which probably helped shape their response. While I got that sorted out and made sure we were good to leave the next morning Mirajane had stopped me form heading to my room with a smirk and told me Erza had something for me.
Probably not the hardest thing to guess but I was curious what sort of surprise Erza had in store for me. Opening the door to her suite I step in and lock it behind me and then head into the bedroom of the place only to find, yes Erza can still surprise me with her outfits.
.
------------>
.
"Well, Come On Boy."
-x-X-x-
"O..OHH!! Roxas… how .. how is this even better!" Erza screams as she bounces on my lap, arms wrapped around me. Her insides clenching around me as her chest squished against mine, the apron now stuffed between her breasts so that I could feel her flesh against mine.
.
---------------->
.
"Hmm, picked up a skill for it. Glad to see it's worth it." Already my new Kama Sutra skill was taking what Peerless gave me and letting me take what I was already good at to a whole new level. The potential for erotic magic was something to consider but given some of the laws of the land I'd need to be careful.
"Hmm I love your magic. D..don't hold back, show me everything you can do.
"Hmm, order heard my Fairy Queen."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
------------>
.
"AH!! YES!! FUCK HARDER ROXAS!! " Erza screams as I slam into her from behind; her ass clapping against my thighs as I pull her back against me. She tilts her head back and I take her lips into a kiss as she cums along my cock.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
------------->
.
"NNNH!" Legs on my shoulders, nails digging into my shoulders, Erza biting her lip as she tires to hold back another scream.
"Ah… right there, hmm love you Roxas. Love you and the others so much."
"Love you too Erza." I walk over to the wall and press her against it, picking up the pace of my thrusts as I do so.
"We were so worried about you, I … I thought we lost you for a second when that owl swallowed you." I slow down as Erza grips me tighter and kisses me on the cheek.
"Not.. Not your fault, you came for me. I .. I thought someday I'd have to deal with that tower alone but you and the others didn't let me. That nightmare is over for me and my friends; now stop blaming yourself and fuck me into a pu--AHHH!!"

After fucking on … so many other surfaces we're back on the bed. Erza pinned beneath me with her legs locked onto my waist. Words are beyond us, only moans and cries of pleasure now.
.
--------------->
.
The feeling of her legs around me, the sight of her panting and jiggling with each thrust, her hair fanned out around her, the sight keeps me going one last time; flooding her insides one more time and savoring the look on her face as I do so.
.
-------------->
.
Exhausted after everything I lower myself down on top her Erza, aiming to roll over on my side to hold her but she keeps me pinned abover her and smiles at me. Her desire clear I let my eyes close as she rubs my back and hums softly into my ear.
"Hmm sweet dreams Oberon."
-x-X-x-
Getting back home was easy thankfully; honestly I half expected something to come up and throw another wrench into everything. Once we got back though we all ended up splitting up; my familiars heading to the house with our luggage to make sure it was tidy (I think they scared the schrodinger servants of the manor into leaving them work somehow) while Erza and Makarov started getting the others set up.
Natsu and Happy went to their house, Natsu still the most off base from swallowing the Ethernano and occasionally tapping at his face where the scales had formed.
Juvia went to catch up with Gajeel who as far as I can tell has slid into Fairy Tail far more smoothly then before; not that there was a high bar there but still it was good to see and Lucy was dragged by Cana and Levy into a girl's event and Mirajane went off with Elfman to talk. Leaving me alone for a bit to go to the park in the center of town and just enjoy the breeze and atmosphere for a few hours before getting some grocery shopping done; barely a half a day and a few days since but the Tower of Heaven was exhausting on so many different levels that it was nice to do something normal. The sun was setting when I got back home and Solution greeted me at the door and took the bags from my hands.
"Ah Master Roxas; Lady Shalltear asked that we pass along her request for your presence in the basement."
"We have a basement?" I honestly didn't realize we did.
"Lady Virgo was apparently a great help in creating it; just down the hall and to the right. There's is a lock on the door so you'll need this." I blink and take the key, note to self keep track of what they all get up to more throughly. I don't think they'll do anything terrible. Going to the door I open it up to find a stone stairway; the stone looking smooth and almost polished as I walk down the stairs. Candles set up on the wall to light the way down; when I hit the bottom I find a sex dungeon, there can be no mistaking it. Shalltear is lounging in a honest to gods throne set up against the far wall. The vampire purring as she leans back with her legs spread and a blindfolded woman lapping at her.
.
---------------->
.
"Ah master you've arrived, hmm Solution was so kind to share her prey with me but I figured we could do more then just feed on her. Hmm she's got such a talented tongue for instance. Don't you pet."
"Y..yes Mistress Shalltear. I'm pleased you find my efforts enjoyable."
"Good girl, now display." Ikaruga freezes for a second and though she can't see it Shalltear's fangs become far more visible in her girin as she caresses the crop in her hand.
"Oh, do I need to let Solution know you need another session?
"NO!!! In a blur Ikaruga is bent over holes exposed and her arms positioned behind her back. Shalltear propping her feet up on the dark mage's head and ass, heel digging into the reddened flesh of the later.
.
--------------->
.
"Now then Master, care to partake in our new toy. Do let me know if she disappoints you though; I'd like feedback on how I can better train her."
-x-X-x-
"Roxas… what the hell kind of flame is that supposed to be." Natsu asks; starring at the Darkness Flame in my palm with actual caution. Said Flame prickles at my skin and I can feel the heat but it hasn't tried to consume yet.
"It's called the Dragon Of The Darkness Flame ; assuming I use it right it'll take the form of a dragon. It's kind of dangerous though and if I'm not careful it'll consume me as well."
"Isn't that all fire?"
"Not all fire will start chasing me down to turn me to a spot of scorched earth."
"Right.. smell good though. Now then let's work on your control then; just like Igneel taught me. Now then pick a tree and only burn down that tree."
At the end of the day there is a nice chunk of the woods near Natsu house that's been cleared away but the fire at least stopped leaping from target to target without permission and it didn't try to kill me or Natsu.
-x-X-x-
"You know I was fine coming by myself Roxas."
"Yeah but we haven't gotten to spend a lot of time together recently and I honestly wanted to watch you do the fortunes. I'm surprised by the outfit though."
"What, don't think it good on me?" Cana asks with a smirk and her hands on her hips as I finish getting the last peg of the open-face tent we were setting up nailed into the ground.
.
----------->
.
"Oh no you look gorgeous I just didn't realize you wore more fabric then the bare minimum." I shoot a smirk back and she grins.
"Yeah well some parents get fussy about it and I figured this is pretty much a date so why not dress up." Standing up I give Cana a peck on the cheek and take a seat to the side of the tent.
Apparently Cana occasionally signed up for festivals and other events as a fortunetelling booth. Usually with no issue but given our guild sometimes troubles stumbled upon her; so here I was as backup, date, and interested boyfriend who wants to see his girlfriend working on her passion (or second passion behind booze).
"Step right up and let the cards tell you your fortune, good, ill, and the in-between all to be discovered within this deck of mine." Cana shouts with cheer and a number of people lining up in interest as Cana makes the cards dance around her in the air; a glimmer of excitement in her eyes as the first person sits down across from her at the table and she has the cards fly back into the deck and starts shuffling them by hand. A set of four cards fly out around the table and sound is prevented from escaping the area as she gives the readings.
Just like Cana says good, ill and in-between are displayed. I might not be able to tell the results just from the pictures but people's reactions tell enough of the story but Cana manages it all beautifully, keeping the one's who get something good from going crazy and lifting those with potential hardship's spirits up. I might not be getting to do much but watching Cana at work is more then entertaining.
The next few hours are more of this minus a quick break for food and drink at one point and a few small interruptions where I have to get it through some local wanna-be casanovas that they can look but trying to touch wasn't allowed. Still as the sun sets and Cana begins to shut down for the day the clanging of armor fills the air and people start making a gap in the street.
"Well now I had heard a fortune teller was drawing everyone's eye. I can see why now." The guard captain, judging by the badge and cloak, sits down with a confident air and leer in his eyes. Cana rolling hers in response and waving at me to stay sitting.
"What can I say; I can draw in a crowd and who can resist hearing what might be in their future. Can I assume you'd like the same? Anything specific you're looking to know?" The captain nods and leans onto the table, his eyes dropping to Cana's chest as he does so without a hint of shame.
"Hmm, yes. How about how my love life is going to go; perhaps if a fine lady such as yourself will grace me with her presence?" Cana sighs but holds out her deck, the cards shuffling via magic for a minute before taking a card off the top and setting it down and then starting the process over again, drawing another card and laying it beside the other one.
"Flip them over." Cana says and the guard roughly swipes them over, revealing the faces and earning a smirk from Cana.
"Reverse Lovers and the Tower; your relationship will be looking at a swift and sudden upheaval. I'm going to assume that lady I saw you walking around with is going to be leaving you soon enough; probably for someone else that satisfies her needs." Cana answers with a smirk and with the noise blocking cards already recalled everyone nearby can hear the proclamation; a great deal of whispering starting up among the crowd.
"What did you say you wench?" I'm already standing up as the guard does so; his fist slamming into and breaking the table, cards flying into the air only to vanish as Cana requips them.
"Well if this is how you act I can see why… going to guess she's hoping her next lover can actually make her feel anything in the sheets." A sword is being drawn and the captain is pointing at her with shouts to grab her; several guards from nearby start making their way over I pick Cana up while Gaster Blasters form underfoot and rise to trip them up.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I hope you've enjoyed the show but this is where the lovely Cana and I must make our exit." And with my piece said I skedaddle with Cana in my arms laughing up a storm and holding on tight to me.
.
------------>
.
"Ah man that was great; did you see the look on his face when you that one fat guy fell on him." Cana laughs as we walk through the streets of Magnolia, arm in arm, the stars in the sky and the air crisp but not chilly. A flower I had snagged as we run tucked into her hair.
"Yeah; what do you think was up with him though. I mean starting shit with a Fairy Tail mage; the town is close enough that we probably handle most quests that come out of it."
"From what I've heard the council is in a fight for it's existence and that has some of the guards acting out. We'll let the Master know and work it all out. Thank you for coming though; I know that was a lot of watching…"
"Like I'd ever get tired of watching you."
"..smooth talker. But yeah; it's always feels good to do that from time to time." We stop by a fence letting us look out at a valley view and Cana leans against it. "Fortune telling was my mother's business and it's how she met my father." That catches me off guard and I wrap an arm around her as, Cana leaning into my embrace as she looks out into the night.
"One day my dad was apparently in the village she was staying in and he chatted her up, she told him his fortune and flirted back apparently. Telling him how perhaps she would be the one the cards we're talking about. One thing led to another and here I am." Cana's lips tilted down into a frown and her then a scowl.
"And before I was out he was already out of her life and she knew he would be. She knew one day he'd up and leave but she saw 'worthwhile times and a wonderful reminder' and … and that meant a lot to me but Mom was on her own and when she got sick she didn't have someone that could help her and I … I never wanted to be like that. I never wanted to take the risk and see what might happen and ever since we got together along with the others… I know that sounds like I don't trust you but I do I.." I cut her off with a quick kiss and take her hands in mine.
"Cana… I .. that's perfectly understandable. Like I know you said your fortune's are very rarely 100% accurate but… I'll never leave you but I get why you were worried and I don't blame you. The fact you're willing to tell me this is enough." Cana stares at me, hand going up to wipe at her eyes and then she holds my hands.
"Push your magic towards me will you." Deciding listening is the best call I do so, letting it flow down my hands towards hers and feeling it meet her's where our hands connected. Her cards flashed into existences, hovering between us and glowing before three detached from the deck and Cana reached up to grab them. Looking at them with a blank look before she starts to cry with a big smile on her face.
.
------------>
.
"The Star: a signal for hope, the World: Harmony and integration as well as personal growthand the Empress a sign of abundence, fertility, and motherhood. He..Hehehe …I… I love you Roxas and I'm going to make sure this fortune comes true." Cradeling her face in my hands I wipe her tears away and kiss her again. Slow and deep and holding her tightly as she returns it. When we part for air I match her statement.
"I love you Cana, and We're going to make that a reality."
-x-X-x-
"B or not a B, that is the question."
"Hehe, thanks for helping. I always love to help this guy out." I don't blame her, it's a complete doppleganger situation and I'm loving it. Levy and I using our magic to make props or special effects for the man as he entertains and educates a gaggle of children in Magnolia's park.
"Hey this is fun and it's honestly nice to use our magic for something other then fighting."
"Yeah, it's why I got into this; a reminder that what I can do isn't pigeonholed into just one thing. That I can be more then one thing." Well I can't fault her for that and frankly watching the children laugh and coo over little chibi Gaster-Blasters and vine growing and dancing around them makes it all worth it. Still I'm happy to have some alone time with Levy once the show is ended and the man gives us his thanks. We head back to my place at Levy's request and when we reach the door she smiles at me coyly.
"Hmm Roxas give me a minute will you? I've got a surprise for you." Well with a smile like that I can only guess it will be something fun.
"Hehe, sure." Kissing me on the cheek Levy skips inside and I wait outside, letting her put together whatever she has planned. Two minutes later the words follow me stretch out across the floor and I follow the trail of Levy's Solid Script to a room with the door closed; a scent, some kind of incense I think, leaking from the room; opening the door I'm greeted with a most pleasing sight; the room filled with silks hanging from the ceiling like the curtains, actual braziers set up, and sitting in the center on the cushion is a sight that has my cock starting to stand at attention and my mouth to water.
.
------------>
.
"Greeting's Master; would you like this one to ease your tension with her unworthy body."
-x-X-x-
"Hmm, oh I've been looking forward to this Master." Levy coos as I strip down and walk over, cock already rock hard and walk over to where she kneels and let my cock slap down upon her face, a look of glee coming over her face as it rests on her face.
.
---------->
.
"Hmm, Master's cock is always so amazing. Ooh I'm so grateful you let me tend to it Master, hmm so virile and manly. A mighty rod that broke down a queen, a demon, and so many others." Levy murmurs as she nuzzles against my cock. The little bookworm such a kinky thing when she gets going.
.
----------->
.
"Ooh, it looks so angry. Did this lowly servants body rile it up that badly; it would be my privilege to sooth it's aches." With a smokey look in her eyes Levy leans away and lifts up her veil; her lips moving forward to kiss the tip of my cock before letting go of the veil as she engulf my member, cooing around it as precum starts to leak from her actions.
"Fuck, it's hard to belive you were a complete virgin before I got ahold of you. What a waste that would have been, this is what you were made for in the end." Levy doesn't respond as I play along, instead working her way down my shaft, hands on my thighs and tongue worshiping every inch of flesh she can fit inside.
"Oh, can you reach the end all by yourself now? How far you've come." Levy nods slightly before pushing herself down the final inch, barely a hint of a gag from her as she nuzzles into my pelvis.
.
------------>
.
"Good girl, now work hard and get your reward."
"Ys Mastr!" Levy coos around my cock before pulling back and slamming her head forward, picking up the pace and fucking herself upon my cock, the feeling of the soft silk veil sliding along it a new sensation that I don't mind.
It doesn't take long for Levy to have my balls pulsing and ready to go as Levy keeps deepthroating me and I tighten my grip in her hair and pull her back and cum.
"GHCK!" Levy coughs as seed fills her mouth and throat, enough of it that some leaks out from her mouth. Even as she struggles to swallow she never tries to pull back.
.
------------->
.
"Good job Levy, now clean up and then get on the bed." Levy pulls back with a pop and nod, licking up the seed around her lips with a smile.
"Yes Master."
-x-X-x-
"AHHH!! YES FUCK FUCK!!! RUIN ME!!!" Levy screams as she clutches the pillow I put under her. Ass tilted up as I plow into her cunt from behind, holding her head in a tight grip. Not enough to really hurt her but enough that she'll feel it.
.
--------------->
.
"Keep that cunt tight, I don't want to feel your grip loosen for even a second."
"Y..es! Thank you for fucking this needy whore, I won't fail you." Levy cries out, her own release spraying against my cock as she does so. Levy clearly loves being treated roughly, being verbally degraded although no where near as masochistic physically as some of the others. I think she likes getting pulled off the pedestal her team put her on but I'm not going to waste brainpower psycho-analyzing when I have a gorgeous girl under me and begging for me to ruin her.
No instead I put more force into my thrusts, push Levy's head further down into the pillow, and enjoy watching her limbs go limp as I slam into her.
"AHHH!!" Levy starts cumming along my cock once more, making an O-face that doesn't stop as I ram into every little weak spot I've mapped out. If Levy was feeling good before now she's been reduced to a quivering mess.
.
---------->
.
-x-X-x-
I stare down at the Flesh Eater Core, a small jewel of red and blue that pulses with power. This little thing has the potential to push anyone up a step or two on the totem pole and let them share that power with someone else.
Really the only issue is not only who to see about using it on but also the fact that it might be a way to take one of the most terrifying problems of this world off the table down the line.
Irene is mostly just wanting to die or get a body that can feel again. This.. this is a complete restructure of the current form if I understand it right which means a whole new body with working nerves or whatever is wrong with her. It might also not work and then we just have an even more powerful dragon queen that wants to kill us.
So the question is hold off on it to see if maybe it can be that's viable down the line or use it now to get one of my loved one's some extra power and kick that can further down the line.
-x-X-x-
"Right, never again. Do we all agree." Lucy nods besides me, covered in dirt and bodily fluids from the giant worm like beast we had just fought and gotten covered in.
"Virgo, please go and draw me a bath." Virgo nods from her lady's side, it's telling just how bad we reek by the fact Virgo is a few steps further then she normally would be.
"Hey guys! How was … oh." Millianna cuts off as she takes in the sight; she's the only one still living with us at the moment of the tower's former occupants.
They had all joined the guild and formed a team together and Erza gave them some money to get started but while Wally, Sho, and Simon were happy to get a larger apartment to share Millianna wanted her own space. Say what you will but Jellal let her have her own large room and she wanted not just that but her own bathroom. So now she saved up and enjoyed our place; honestly I didn't mind because it looked like the others were now considering moving into the mansion and that sounds fine to me. Plus Millianna is fun to be around, her pep hard to hate.
"Yeah don't ask. We're going to get cleaned up and probably call it in early. You have a good day though?"
"Oh yeah, me and the guys captured a dark mage together. Between me and Sho we can hold them down pretty easily while Simon gets us close and Wally provides the firepower."
"Glad to hear. Now If you'll excuse us I think the flowers are wilting just by us standing here." I'm not even kidding, some of the flowers in a vase by the entrance way are actually starting to droop.
Cue the hour long shower that I spend scrubbing my body as clean as possible. Thankfully magic mean magical cleaning products that work amazingly at getting … I don't even want to think about it … off your body. Once I finally feel clean I dry off, wrap a towel around my body and head on out into my room to get some fresh clothes on.
"Hmm, I like what I see." I freeze and look over to find Millianna on my bed curled up like a cat before flipping onto her back and posing for me.
"Hmm, what's wrong Roxas. Don't you want to play with the Kitty?"
.
----------->
.
-x-X-x-
I take in the sight of the sexy catgirl on my bed and only the thought of how Erza might react keeps me from accepting the offer then and there.
"Millianna…" The question is unspoken as I'm not even sure how to phrase it but the kitten gets it.
"What, you can't expect a girl to not be saved from a lie and then housed by a handsome wizard and not get interested. Plus look at this place, how else could I pay rent."
"You do not have to do that. I …" Millianna laughs at my panic and then gets up and sits crosslegged on the bed.
"Oh I know, no way Erza would trust me with you if you were the kind of guy to do that. Just a joke, but I do want to reward you and Erza clearly cares for you. Besides she's the one that gave me this outfit." I … yeah I can actually believe that easily.
"Are you sure, because I'm… possessive. Once someone's mine I don't let go." Millianna shivers at that and then leans back and poses once more with a wink.
"Hmm being your pet kitten doesn't sound so bad; sis seems to love it. Now care to show me what has the girls acting like you're cat..nip." She stutters as I crawl over her, spread her legs, and place my hand on her panties, ripping them away and throwing off my towel at the same time to lay my cock on her stomach. Letting her see just how far it will go inside her.
.
---------->
.
"Hmm alright; let's see what it takes to make a kitten purr."
-x-X-x-
"If you need me to stop just say the word." Millianna nods, eyes locked on the tip of my cock poking at her entrance. Carefully I slide inside, her pussy tight, warm, and welcoming. No hymen given how physically active she is; her tail frantically moves around, the furry apendage swipping at my leg before curling around her own.
"Ah.. Thats.. thats a lot but it feels good. Nyaaaa!"
"Ah, I'll remember that spot."
.
--------->
.
I let her get used to the feeling of being stretched out and then with a grin reach out and pull her bra up, letting her breasts plop free and taking in the bounce.
"Oh, hehe do you like?"
"Hmm, you're beautiful Milli, now lets try something else." Taking her legs in my hands I push them into the air and spread them to look down on her, pulling her waist into the air slightly and pull back.
"Ready?"
"Y..yeah." With that I pull back and then start thrusting forward, her mouth dropping open as a moan escapes and her hands grip the sheets tightly in response.
.
---------->
.
"Oh Roxas!!!" Millianna cries out as my pace picks up slowly, feeling out just how hard she can take it at the moment. Her breasts bounce from the force and her cat ears twitch as I fuck her; I can feel every twitch in her legs her body starts firing off responses to the new sensations happening.
"Ah, Er…erza was right! This is the best!!" Well give my ego a swell why don't you."
"Oh, anything else she told you I should know about?" I lean forward as I do so, not quite making it a mating press but close; hitting deeper and getting her first orgasm of the night to fire off. The kitty's eyes rolling back in her skull as she came. I let her catch her breath, slowing down and letting her mind catch up. For a first timer she bounces back quickly and looks up at me, face flushed and eyes heavy with want as she licks her lips.
"Hmm, only that once I'm ready I should tell you that you should make sure I won't be a naughty kitty again." Oh Erza, I'm going to have to do something special for you soon.
-x-X-x-
Millianna's cute little cat-gere was a casualty but one I'm willing to accept. Leggings ripped off so I can feel the creamy flesh directly, top torn away so that I can see them bounce even more, and the perfect line of "Naughty kitties don't get clothes."
The sheets might also be a casualty with how Millianna is grabbing and pulling at them but the look on her face makes it worth it. Slamming into her and feeling her ass ripple with each hit. Virgin tightness giving way to being reshaped to my cock; and the feeling of marking a new girl with my cum.
.
--------->
.
"AHH!! MY PUSSY IS GETTING STUFFED WITH CREAM!!!" Millianna cries out as I unleash my load inside her. A moan filled with heat and satisfaction as she goes limp.
"Hmm Big Sis was so right, I need a catnap though."
"You think we're finished?" Millianna looks up at me with tired eyes and then wiggles her butt, shock shaking away the fatigue as it hits her that I'm still hard and grinning down at her.
"Oh no, I think I like this pretty kitty far too much to let her slink away after just one load."
-x-X-x-
"CUMMING!! CAN'T STOP CUMMING!! PLEASE!! KITTY CAN'T KEEP GOING!!!"
.
----------->
.
"Clearly that's a lie, got to make sure the lesson sticks in this naughty kitty so that she doesn't try and misbehave."
"YES KITTY BE GOOD! KITTY BE BEST PET FOR MASTER!! KITTY PROMISE!!"
"Ah, such a good pet. Do you want one last serving of cream?"
"KITTEN LOVE MASTER'S CREAM! KITTEN ALWAYS LOVE IT!!"
"Then take it!!"
"MEOWWWWWW!!!!"

Get A Pet Kitten: Silver Familiar Ticket
[Patrasche] - |Common Familiar| - Re:Zero - Patrasche is an unusually intelligent and emotionally aware Ground Dragon, a lesser dragon more akin to a horse as a bipedal lizard. She is strong enough to bite off the head of a grown man and can ride as fast as a horse even when a carriage is attached to her due to her Divine Protection of Wind Evasion which nullifies wind resistance for her and things in contact with her.
-x-X-x-
"Oh two new pets for the price of one."
"Hmm, Pet kitty more master."

As much as I enjoyed having minimal contact with him Gray was the first one to come to mind when Ice was mentioned and with Hydrofreeze I had acess to it. What I was not expecting was the additional teacher; apparently Ur's recovery speed up while we were gone.
"ICE MAKE ERUPTION!!!"
.
---------->
.
"AHHH!!!" Which meant I got the deluxe treatment consisting mostly of trying to do what I can solely with the ice part of Hydrofreeze and getting picked apart for it while having comparisons between my rookie trash and the product of a master. I was learning a lot; Juvia would be needed for the water parts but I was picking up a lot of tips and tricks for how to use ice to its full effect. Given their specialty of Maker Magic that meant I got a lot of variety such as sharpening the ice or hardening it.
"Haha not bad for a beginner, glad to see you're not content to just have an option but want to actually use it. Gray go get us some hot tea."
"Yes Ur." Gray snaps to his teachers order, already in his underwear and she shakes her head.
"That boy, yes I taught him like that but I didn't mean always strip down." Ur comes to sit by my side as I catch my breath.
"You know I never got to thank you. Gray told me you saved me but I was out of it till recently."
"Gray's Fairy Tail, we look after our own and quite frankly it was luck I managed to save you. My magic gave me the ability I needed to do it by random chance."
"Doesn't change the fact without you I'd have been melted down. Now be honest with me because it has been haunting me since I woke up." Her voice goes cold and her eyes bore into me.
"Did my daughter actually show up or was that some hallucination." Oh ask the complicated questions why don't you.
"She was there; I've seen her since actually but… look I don't know the full story but after whatever happened to separate you whoever had her told her you abandoned her and now she's stuck with some people she can't just leave."
"Dark Mages?"
"My best guess, she's working on it but.. she hated you for years, as in she apparently helped move Leon's plans along to try and kill you fully. Thankfully she no long believes that but she can't just walk away and if she comes to see you…"
"Then whatever little shit thinks they can use my daughter will catch on. Tch good to know but she... she's alive.." Ur's eyes water and I pat her on the shoulder.
"Alive, well, and waiting for the day you all can have a proper reunion."
"Then that will have to do for now. Mwah." Ur kisses me on the cheek and stands up.
"Oh, for my own curiosity is Ultear as goregeous as her mother?" Looking the older mage up and down I take my time to enjoy the view, Ur clearly not minding.
"I think she's just as beautiful as her mother."
"Hehe, given your rep I'll take your word for it. Now where is Gray?"
He lost the last of his clothes and had to steal a barrel to avoid public indecency charges.
