Phoenix Burns (FairyTail)

~Chapter 1~

~Natsu's Pov Still~ 

Erza, Gray and I were getting ready to go ahead as scouts. Mira and the others were begging for us to be careful as Erza wanted us to be captured as slaves to be brought inside without problem. Happy had to stay behind but Gajeel was coming along in his place. "Erza are you sure your ok with this?" I asked worried looking toward the scarlet older sister as she forced on a smile onto her face. "I have no choice I had to fight this past so many times, one last time shouldn't affect me as much" Erza replied. 

This didn't make me feel better, made me even more worried about her. I saw Gray was the same as me and I was in some shock to see Gajeel was worried too. "After fighting Mard Geer I thought we was all in the clear" I heard Cana mumbled not far from us mostly thanks to Dragon Hearing as I knew how she felt. She was annoyed that we couldn't catch a break. It was very annoying that we couldn't but everything we all been through brought us all together. "Alright we're moving out" Erza spoke as we waved the others off.

We headed out as it was an hour walk until we saw some girls getting grabbed by what looked like nekos. They was laughing and smirking as my eyes widen in shock to see Jackal smirking. "New slaves for the King, he will be glad we got some new workers for the mines" Jackal spoke laughing as we looked at Erza who nodded. We rushed in Erza cutting the arms off the me holding the girls while Gajeel and Gray kept the others busy. I went straight for Jackal who looked pale seeing me as I punched him into the air. 

"Seems some more reborns" a deep voice spoke as I was confused by what he meant until as I was punched in the gut hard as hell making me cough up blood as fell to the ground right away. A man with dark skin wearing black bottoms and had red eyes was standing over me. He had long black hair and was not wearing any top showing off scars all over his body. "Mages are rare to find, we want them alive, we need new reborn magic" he then spoke sending a unknown wave at the other three mages who came with me.

They looked like me as if they was punched hard in the gut and fell to the ground. "Take them in" the unknown ordered as Jackal soon landed on the ground badly hurt. "W-what is a Priestess guard doing here?" Jackal asked in rage getting onto his feet as the unknown grew a smirk. "Is the demon upset a human took down the mages when he could not?" the unknown asked as I was in shock he was human. His magic was as if he was a demon himself. Jackal looked in more rage his hands giving off golden glow.

"Kill me and be punished by your King" the man spoke as Jackal looked away giving out an annoyed 'tisk'. "He is your King too" Jackal spoke. "I server the Priestess and the Priestess alone" the man replied as me and the others were being picked up. It looked like the girls had gotten away what meant we did two good things. One get caught like in the plan and two helped them get away. I was hoping they was safe. It wasn't long for me to be able to move slightly again and look around. We was being dragged into a unknown building.

It was filled with people being dragged like us as a girl was pinned to the wall by a demonic looking man with crazy eyes touching her breast as she was screaming for help. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT POOR GIRL" a familiar voice echoed the halls in rage as everyone was frozen the people dragging us dropped us to the ground going on one knee bowing as me and the others were in shock to see Levy walking down the hall. She was wearing a Priestess orange outfit with a book in her hands.

"You are to removed your hand and let her go right now" she ordered in a harsh tone as I saw Gajeel looking at her in full hope his eyes watering even as I was glad to see here. It gave me hope for Lucy. "Miss McGarden you know what happens to most female slaves maybe I will buy her for myself" the unknown demonic man spoke laughing as Levy sighed putting her book under her right arm and moved her left hand in the air aiming toward the unknown getting him to go pale. "Lord Zeref will most likely let me punish you alone, whips and daggers sound like a fun plan" Levy spoke shocking us.

She had pure evil and bloodlust on her face as the demonic man let the woman go as she was on the ground crying and hugging herself. "I-I didn't mean it Miss McGarden I promise" he spoke as Levy laughed. "I should put some rapist like you away for life" Levy soon spoke smirking as the man who attacked up got on. "My Lady McGarden" he spoke getting her attention as she had a joyful smile on her face the bloodlust and evil going as she looked like her old self seeing Gajeel returning from a mission.

"LEROY" she shouted dropping her book rushing to the man hugging him as she was was very short. "You came back from the castle, I am so happy to see you return home" she spoke still smiling brightly as I knew Gajeel would be jealous and in raged. "Lady McGarden please let me deal with this slime no need for someone as beautiful as you to get blood on your hands" this man, this Leroy spoke as Levy pulled away from hugging him crossing her arms. "I have taken more demons out than you have Leroy" Levy spoke as he chuckled.

"Of course you was in the great war and the great Priestess's right hand after all" Leroy spoke as I noticed Gajeel was trying to get up. "I will inform her of your return please deal with that thing and put him to death for me" Levy spoke walking off shocking me with her words. W-was that really the Levy we knew? Or someone who was from her bloodline meaning she died fighting Zeref?
