With Great Power Comes Great Responsibilty

Chapter 31

Meanwhile outside of the library, Gray and Lyon were walking back to their dorm rooms together. 

"Gray I have the best news ever." Lyon told him.

"Really? What is it?" 

"I just met this amazing girl. She's smart and pretty and very talented."

"She does sound amazing. Is she interested in you?"

"Well she didn't want to go out with me at first. In fact she told me that at the moment she had feelings for another guy but I was able to talk her into going out with me tomorrow night."

"That's great. You think she has a friend she could hook me up with?"

"Well she does have a really cute room mate. I'll ask her to introduce you to her during our date tomorrow."

"Thanks."

They were halfway back to their room when suddenly Lyon stopped.

"Hey what's wrong?" Gray asked.

"I just remembered that I forgot something. I better go back and get it."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No you just go on ahead. I'll see you later."

"Alright."

Lyon rushed off after that and it was in a very quick way that made Gray feel a little suspicious but he brushed it aside as just meaningless paranoia. He went on to his room, pulled out a text book on blood work, and started to study it. An hour later he heard a loud booming sound come from outside. Looking out the window he saw that an explosion had taken place at one of campus classrooms. Sensing danger, he quickly changed into his costume and went to investigate. Natsu had also seen the explosion and he quickly jumped from his seat, running to the door.

"Natsu where are you going?" Lucy asked.

"I'm going to see anyone was hurt in that explosion. You stay here where it's safe." He told.

"Natsu wait! Come back!" She called.

But he didn't. Instead he ran into a corner somewhere and changed into his costume. He and Gray met up at the same time and just as they suspected, Black Demon was the one behind this. He had blown up the classroom where Professor Lancer had been grading his papers. The two heroes fond him under his desk in critical condition. 

"Is he still alive?" Natsu asked.

Gray checked for a pulse.

"Yeah but we need to get him to a doctor now." Gray said.

"Don't waste your time! He'll be dead in just a few minutes!" Came the sinister chuckle of Black Demon. 

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Gray asked. "Why are you attacking these people?!"

"That's none of your business cat boy and to be honest I'm looking to talk to you." He turned his attention toward Natsu. "So tell me Red Dragon, did you think about my offer? What's your answer? Are you in or are you out?"

"It's you who's out man. Out of your mind!" Natsu shouted.

"Wrong answer! But if that's the way you want it so be it! But just know this! If you're going to be my enemy then you better prepare yourself for the most horrible torture imaginable!"

He then threw another bomb. Red Dragon and Blue Tiger quickly grabbed Professor Lancer and jumped out of the way of the oncoming bomb. There was another explosion but luckily no one was harmed. After leaving the professor at safe spot that was in clear view of the upcoming police cars and ambulance, they chased after Black Demon who jetted away on his glider.
