Chapter 39

-Hargeon, Fairy Tail's side-

"So we just have to prevent them from reaching the calm sea right?" A gorgeous woman with dark purple hair and white ribbon on her head said.

"That's right, if we can't do that, then we could just slow them down, the other guilds and mages that are still available will be coming to help us." A woman with black hair replied.

"I see," Kagura said before looking towards the black haired woman, Ultear Milkovich, a new member, "Just to let you know, I may be working with you, but I still haven't forgiven you for what you did, in fact, I utterly hate you that I wanted to cut you to pieces."

"Fufufu~" Ultear just laughed, seemingly unfazed by the young woman's threat, "You can do anything you want to me, aside from killing me, after all, my life doesn't belong only to you. This life of mine, will only be used to repent for the sins I've committed."

Kagura just sneered before saying, "If you aren't a member of Fairy Tail, I will surely cut you down. I hate you, I despise you, but, for Natsu-sama I will bear with you and work together."

"Fufufu~"

Meredy, who is standing behind the two, along with the rest of the guild members were sweating.

Kagura was releasing a very huge amount of magic power that can be felt throughout the entire town, and Ultear, even though she is all smiles and seems harmless, she is also releasing a magic power that rivals that of Kagura.

"Y-You're surrogate mother is scary huh, Meredy." Macao stated while his whole body was shaking.

"U-Uh-huh, your new 'ace' too, she's as scary as 'Titania'." Meredy replied.

Three days ago, the guild was pretty hostile towards them, especially Kagura, when she learned the stuff about Ultear, she drew out her sword and almost destroy a large part of the town if Natsu did not stop her.

Though in the end, they did got along, especially when they found out about Meredy's and Ultear's past.

Well, 'almost' got a long....

"Why are you laughing?! Is there something funny!?" Kagura exclaimed as tick marks appeared on her forehead.

"Fufufu~!"

Macao just wryly chuckled before looking at each members ans frowned, "Hey guys, have you seen Alex?"

"Hm? Now that you mention it, it does seems quiet, no wonder, so Alex isn't here."

"Yeah, haven't seen him since this morning."

"I remember him saying that he has something to do, he looks so serious at that time,"

Hearing Alex's name, Meredy couldn't help but show some strange expression. Of course she knew of him, an annoying brat around her age that seems to like to speak 'nonsense'.

In fact, the very first time they met, she was already infuriated at him.

'Girl, you have pink hair just like mine first servant, I shall give you the chance to be this Emperor's second servant as we are fated to meet. Bow your head and call me His Majesty the Dark Emperor!'

He said, of course, he earned a hard smack at the head, courtesy of Master Natsu.

'Though I wonder, where could he have gone?' Meredy thought as she look at the sky.

...

Away from Haregeon, just a mile away from the army of titans, a young boy wearing a black trenchcoat with bandages covering his body can be seen.

'I won't allow you all to take even a single step at the town.'

Alexander Daijena the 3rd, the young boy who was always isolated, always bullied, and always alone, finally found a place where he can call home.

Even if it means going against his 'master' words, he will protect his new home, his true friends, and most of all, his family.

'I won't allow it! I won't allow them to get hurt, even if this life of mine shall be in danger, I will protect my friends, I will shoulder this alone, just to keep them away from harm.'

...

On the head of the largest titan, seven people can be seen talking with each other.

"Damn, I thought that I finally found an interesting group, but they are actually very boring," a young woman with blonde hair said. "how 'bout you, Amado? Found someone interesting?"

"...." Amado, a black haired and red eyed man just glance at the woman, "....I thought I found an interesting opponent, after all her magic is similar to mine, but I expected too much."

"At least you guys get to fight," Luscio grumbled, "we haven't even encountered any opponent at all!"

"Yeah, me too."

"....A human?" Apollo muttered as he saw a figure standing a mile away from them. Of course, his comrades heard him and they look in front too.

"Hahaha! Let me fight this one." Luscio laughed as green-flaming wings sprouted from his back before he flew towards the person in front.

With his speed, Luscio only took a few seconds before he reached the person, and he was pretty disappointed to say the least.

"A boy? How boring, and here I thought that I get to have a good fight."

Alex just stayed silent, if it was the 'normal' him, then he would've retort while praising himself that would anger even the gods.

"Whatever I'll just en-" however, before he gets to finish his words, dozens of hands from his shadow emerged from the ground and pulled him down.

"Ack!?" Luscio find it hard to move, as he was now kneeling on the ground, "..Damn..brat!..Die!.."

Large amount green flames swirled around his body, burning the shadow-hands that was holding him. He stood up laughed.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Looks like you're actually someone worthy to fight me."

Luscio launched himself at Alex with his body covered in green flames. However, a large shadow-palm blocked him.

"Useless!" His flames swallowed the palm as he appeared before Alex and punched him in the guts.

"Oooff-!?"

Luscio then grabbed hold of Alex head and slammed him down on the ground, before kicking him away.

Luscio glance at Alex in disdain, "Pathetic, and here I thought you would give me a good fight."

Luscio turned around and began to walk away, but stopped when he felt Alex slowly standing, he turned his head and was shocked.

Alex's left eye glowed red as a deadly dark aura surrounded him.

"You all...are not allowed to take even a single step to the town. I will stop you all here!"

Luscio viciously grinned as his eyes turned fierce and filled with killing intent, "Interesting...I wonder how do you plan on doing that?"
