87the curse of the celestial priestess Ch 33
fairychime: minna, I'm so sorry for you guys suffering my lateness! But I thought it was 2 months but it was one month! Reason why I never updated this chapter for over a MONTH, T_T, was because my laptop's charger broke and I told my sis to buy one. Also I was lazy. T_T sorry!
Frosch: Fairychime doesn't own Fairy tail! Please forgive her..
**Note: if you guys forget about what the demons look like, reference to ch. 24 and Rengo is somewhere in the beginning. Their powers are on ch. 25 ^-^**
A few hours were speent while Juvia and Wendy wondered around for a walk and things were fine. Until they bumped into a woman with dark hair and red colors. They were completely dismayed and the blue duo apologized sincerely.
When they looked at the woman, she was gone already. They glanced at each other strangely and then went back to the training grounds, where they wore their training clothes and practiced with Rena, who almost kicked their asses with no hesitation.
Wendy jumped onto Rena's back with Charla's help, sending an air powered punch towards her vertabrae; however, Rena slid to the right and turned back to kick at Wendy's gut. Wendy groaned at the painful kick she received on her stomach.
Rena tried to grip Juvia's nearly visible hand at her right but it spilled out steaming water and Juvia was almost nearing defeat, even with her most powerful attacks. Juvia brought down her water whip onto Rena's arm, and swung it towards herself. Rena was caught in her whip and fell as Juvia planned.
Juvia prepared to bodyslam her, but Rena stepped on the water whip, attached to her arm mid-way and casted a spell froze humans for a certain time. Juvia felt a hollow tap in her magic container and sat down in defeat and admitted defeat as well as Wendy.
Charla nodded in satisfaction in the battle; they had lasted longer than last time, this time it was 12 minutes instead of 9 minutes.
"Good job, Juvia and Wendy!" Rena praised, "You should use some of your physical attacks on people instead of your magic first. Magic is more worth of your life than your physique. Wendy, I want you to practice fighting hand to hand without Charla's help. And Juvia; you can make water out of your body but you should try to take out water from your surroundings and block your enemies. You might need help with thickening your water for a long time."
They both nodded and went in different ways; Wendy going to fight someone, and Juvia going into the farther part of the woods.
Lucy transported herself in different spots of the woods towards Rogue's shadow puppets, getting caught but their arms and she slammed celestial power into them.
The shadows disappated into a silouhette of her boyfriend. She ran again and hid on a tree branch, she was close to the beginning again; she cursed, she should've focused.
Then she came out and jumped over Rogue and stumbled over the branches of the tree. She closed her eyes briefly, Capricorn's footsteps could be heard and his feet kicked her ribs and she flew back into Aries' wool cage; Lucy yawned and used her takeover magic to turn into a ghost and passed through the sleepy material, though struggling for a few minutes. She turned back to her orginal form.
She shook her weariness, and bit her lip, Rogue had tackled her! She landed on the ground, dirt spraying her arms and forehead; she stepped back and then threw a hook at Rogue. He winced at the small bruise forming fast on his forehead, twisting her shouldblades once her back was open.
She breathed in sharply, her nerves screaming in pain of her boyfriend and nudged at Rogue's ankles with her knees. His knees wobbled a little bit and he let her go.
She finally fell on the floor and rolled away from her boyfriend, to Virgo and Aries; who were putting thermal bandages on her back. It had been 30 minutes since this had started and it ended in Lucy taking the least of the bruised. Rogue had his ice pack on his temple and rubbed his cuts on his legs.
"Good job." They greeted each other in a monotone voice, they walked slowly together and took a break.
After Kristina took a wonderful nap and woke up, she decided to not be caged in the castle and take a walk. Now two people brushed againsted her and she almost fumed at them, if not for noticing two blue companions apologizing. She looked disturbed and leapt away from the duo.
She was slightly nerved by this and felt guilty about those girls. Wait, what? Since when did she care about feelings? Never did she think of those idiots in a good way.
Kristina shook her head and went to the meeting location way ahead of time, using the time before to bring snacks. She gobbled up all of the snacks and sat properly in front of the people finally arriving.
"Welcome." Two wolves in black and orange bowed to everyone. She scoffed quietly at this, she wouldn't do that to anyone unless it was her beloved Azuno-sama! She had hearts at the thought but she tuned back to the meeting.
The wolves in black and orange walked out quietly at the doors.
The last people was a priestess in her 'village', chained and bruised with big rips in her uniform, and a guard with a staff that was topped with a crescent shaped blade, behind her back.
"YOU TRAITOR!" The guard accidentally forgot to chain the prisoner and priestess took that chance to lunge at Kristina only to reach unsuccessfully on the table.
Kristina was all the way in the back. the others glaring in slight shock at the prisoner. Kristina walked to the chained girl with pride and unmerciful eyes; and pushed the girl away from her face, also cracking a bit of her skull.
Kristina returned to her chair and looked at the girl in boredom like Azuno.
The priestess slumped her shoulders involuntarily, and took a step forward, to have her hair yanked back by the guard. The guard viewing the whole thing with the others, took action and grabbed the priestess's hand behind her back and made her bow down.
"I'm sorry for our incompetance for not taking 'care' of your pets. This one tried to steal my keys once I visited her," he grunted in disgust. And he scoffed about the prisoner. "One should not deem to be worthy of ever fighting in the prison of where they belong.. trash." The guard released his claws at the girl's throat, with closed eyes.
The priestess was whisked away by a vortex of gray and white. Her face was looking a bit more sweaty once the guard let go of her. The guard looked happy. And the meeting of the demons and accomplices had adjourned; it was about that priestess for whether of not, she should be tribute.
Nobody looked horrified or frozen in fear at the table. This was very casual for all the demons in this building. The door bursted open with the two wolves in awareness; one with a limping front leg, the other dragging the wolf behind the curtains. The unscathed wolf bowed his head and spat out a sentence, "Humans with the demon backstabbers have shown and took out some of our kin.."
The wolf behind the curtain, lied down and moaned at an old wound reopening.
Outside the hall, Rengo stabbed her sword into several limbs and organs of demons at the hallway entrance, leaving them in a state of fatal injury. She put on a mask when Yunna activated the sleeping spray into the vents. A third of the demons fell victim to the harmless spray, whereas the others were left lethargic and stood there, dazed.
Rengo, Yunna, Rena, and Keko had used their powers to overwhelm the weak demons. They couldn't believe these were the demons' guards. What a bunch of idiots.
"Yunna!" somebody on their side yelled out.
Yunna felt a chill and hopped back onto the ceiling. She gulped, the stupid authorities were there!? Not to mention, one of them attempted to slaughter her! Fog covered the whole room, Yunna coughed and held her breath in her mask that didn't help much.
"Separate!" A voice she recognized as Rengo's had went towards her and grabbed her wrist to go somewhere else. She could tell; moments later, that her and Rengo were stuck in a closet with no clear space. Sucks but at least she didn't have to get stabbed again.
"Wait.. did you plan out the smoke screen?" Yunna's eyes looked at the half demon's silouhette with a scrunched up face.
"No, but the wolf that I stabbed released some weird thing after it entered that cursed place. Since you were on the ceiling beams I had to get you because everyone else dispersed and I almost forgot about you-"
"YOU ALMOST FOR-"
"Shh.." Rengo covered Yunna's mouth. "I don't want to be caught like an idiot without ending that ritual. And you know Kristina is almost gonna become darkness especially when she practically can't die."
"You are an idiot for not telling me this." Yunna hissed silently and glared at her.
Rengo glared back, "Not like you paid attention. And you always have the wrong timing in our meetings, so you were the lost one."
"Fine.. but can't we just get outta here and find the others?" Yunna backed down.
"No need." Rengo dialed some random numbers and 2 people responded with the same words.
"Did you find Yunna?"
"Yup."
"This is Keko; I have Juvia, Wendy, Yukino, Flare and Rogue with me."
"This is Rena; I have Lucy, Cosmos, Levy, Erza, Cana and Lisanna with me."
"Excellent. Now we should take each of the wings out in this building."
Rengo ended the phone call and poked her head outside, quickly and closed the door again. Her eyes slightly glinted red and her hair glowed whiter than usual. Yunna knew she was processing and waited.
"Nobody except two Nature beasts and a giant group of male Soul Suckers are in the clear." Yunna turned back to her original look.
"Thanks."
And they were out the door; bashing the demons for Rengo, and controlling the demons for Yunna. It took longer than they thought but then they saw a weird door with all sorts of runes.
Yunna and Rengo stiffened, they remembered memories of this.
"Yunna, Rengo-sa.." A voice reached their ears, and they ran immediately to the room.
They recognized the priestess that was a friend of Kristina's. Yunna used her gravity powersto lift off the priestess and to reverse the warped hole, that disappeared into another place.
"T-thank you." The priestess sighed and shook slightly. "I need to be healed.. but leave me behind."
"Nah, we need you to fight with us." Rengo smoothed out the priestess's knots in her arms.
"But how would you heal me with no supplies?"
Rengo giggled. "Silly you, remember that I'm a half demon with healing powers and elements."
A dim glow was transferred to the priestess's scars and then it seemed like her skin slightly improved and turned back to normal. And the rest of Rengo's healing made her healthier and the priestess only had her clothes and face dirty. But the priestess didn't mind, and walked behind the duo.
"Wait!" The duo looked at the healed girl in question.
"I forgot the fact that Kristina led me here. You guys have to be careful. I think the actual guards are watching us and preparing to shoot us, I saw poisonous weapons in the guard room. It's quite close to the prison."
"Thank you. But we have to ask you to help indirectly. Please get the remaining human victims out of this hellhole quickly. I gave you our gang's numbers, so you should text them. Or use my phone," Rengo gave her phone away. "I have another back up in my pocket right now. You can't screw up on this. Meet up with your priestess after this, she's currently on the outside of the demon world."
"Thanks.. I won't disappoint you and your gang!" Kristina sprang to another direction and the duo stalked into a room in sneak mode. Next thing they knew, the guards surrounded them and pinned them to the ground with their weaknesses.
