The Dragon Who Became a Demon. [Naziel's Return/OPEN]

It had been a long time. Too long. He headed towards the guild as it stood like a gem in the center of Magnolia with the blue sky and enveloping sunlight shining above them. Naziel walked forward but not adorning his usual bibrant wear, but instead he was coviering himself in a dark cloak with a hood which covered his face.

Meanwhile the guild was undergoing its usual madness when several masked individuals burst open the main doors and began to enter looking around suspiciously. Their faces were covered with a form of mask or a scarf only showing their eyes which were blood red and full of hatred. Their clothes were all black with a mixture of belts and an assortment of weapons attached to them, one of them appeared to lead the group of 10 and stepped forward, his white long spiky hair shone against the light coming from the doorway; "Listen up! We are looking for a slayer... We believe he is one of yours." He took a few steps from one side of the guild to the other examining everyone closely.

The white haired man took a few more steps before stopping dead and narrowing his red eyes; "We want Naziel Stormbringer. Where is he? Give him to us and nothing has to happen." He let out a small laugh before folding his arms and awaiting an answer. Naziel had seen the group enter the guild. His guild. He could feel his anger rising and had to control himself as he saw the ground around him begin to freeze over, he had to get them away from Fairy Tail! He was what they were after, he was now a menace to Fairy Tail becuase of what he had become. He began to slink ever closer to the guild as he watched the proceedings from the shadows nearby.

Rita's dust grey fur ball sat comfortably on her shoulder, his magenta eyes on a group of fairies whom were battling it out at the bar. "R-Rita, shouldn't we stop them?" the exceed stammered. A laugh slipped through her lips. "Just let them go, this is normal." the brunette said, ducking as another bar stool went flying over her head, smashing into something in the background. Everything was the way it should be in the guild...until there was an attention snagging crash at the front of the guild hall, the sound of the double doors being kicked open.

"?"

Everything seemed to go silent and so Rita turned in the direction of the noise. These people certainly didn't appear friendly...The exact opposite in fact. They came here looking for a slayer...one they believed belonged to Fairy Tail. Naziel Stormbringer, A name that Rita hadn't heard in ages and one that she never thought she would hear again frankly. Still, Even if he was here why would anyone pass him over that easily?...

Rita's eyes shot open when she saw that they had grabbed one of her guild mates. She hadn't known Chloe for all that long, but she still bore the crest of Fairy Tail and that made her family. "Ghost...Stay put." She whispered within the silence as she sat him on the table and slid out of her seat. Rita's expression morphed into a scuttle vex, patiently approaching the unwelcome guests. Everything went silent in the guildhall in that moment. the only sound to be heard was the shadow wizard's faint footfalls against the wooden floorboards.


"Didn't your parents ever teach you to pick on some one your own size?" she said with bitter sweet words, quietly gesturing to Chloe. "Besides...Naziel is gone, and even if he was still here why should we hand him over?" Rita stated as she propped her hands on her hips as if to show them that she was not afraid. She looked up at the snow haired man. Truth be told, The mage was not as confident as she appeared. She was not even sure if she could take them on and come out of it unhurt...They could be stronger than she imagined. But some one had to stand up either way, This is Fairy Tail after all. She maintained her gaze with the groups leader...Rita felt her fearless composure slowly cracking, her narrowed eyes wavering.

The white haired man sighed angrily as two of his subordinates grabbed the small blue haired girl and dragged her towards his position; "You idiots! Naziel is male, not that child! But let us make your option that much clearer shall we?" He drew his sword and placed it gently to her chest; "You give him too us or we take the girl? The choice is yours! I mean, isn't he supposed to have been one of your beloved B Ranks?" He sniggered as he pulled down his scarf to show his face, he was no doubt very good looking but still a dark presence hung over him and his group.

The leader turned and glared at the brunette who appeared to speak with him; "Stay where you are you wench! We want him because he has something we want, our master and employers are willing to pay big money for what he has and we want it, so hand him over or we kill this brat and take him anyway!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs as he released A rank magic power into the guildhall before letting it slip away, standing, grinning at the guild members. "So... Where is he?" He grinned.

Lance slowly walked through the guild hall and over to the commotion. He stopped next to Rita and had a shadow cast over his eyes "Listen, didn't we say he was gone and the we wernt handing him over... no means no..." he said as he walked closer to the one that was yelling and got up close to their face "You got that bitch?" he said as he punched the guy in the stomach hard then slowly back away and stood back were he was standing.

He felt bad about what he did to Naziel and he wanted to apologize but his friends were in danger so that would have to wait. He still had a shadow cast over his eye "If you try to attack any one of these girls I will protect them then I will dispose of you before they can even blink. he muttered as he clenched his fist and was almost about to cry "HE ISN'T HERE SO JUST LEAVE!" he yelled loudly and made other guild members stare at them.

'Wench?...' Rita could be quick to act and fiery at times but she always thought things through when she needed to. As for the situation, her outlook  had been changed completely. Now her main concern making sure no one got themselves hurt. One of her guild mates had fallen into their hands and her life was on the line. As long as no one did anything rash things would be fine.

Maintaining eye contact with the leader of the group, Rita caught Lance's hand before his fist could make contact with his stomach. After feeling that wave of magic energy the stranger gave off it was no doubt that they weren't prepared for this. It was far from wise of him to get on these peoples bad side. A quiet sigh escaped her lips. Rita didn't say a word to Lance, instead she kept a firm hold on his hand and dealt with the situation on her own. "Please excuse him, he gets that way." Rita said dully, trying to keep Lance from taking a beating today. "Like I was saying...We are not wrong, Naziel is gone. He is not here." she explained with a painful expression. She clenched Lance's fist in her palm, lowering it back to his side and letting go.

Things weren't hopeless yet. She knew she could do something in this situation. "-But I can take you to him, I saw him not to long ago." She lied and cautiously made her way towards the guild doors. "Just release her and I will show you the way."Rita stated, her gaze skimming his face and then falling to the floor. The mage waited for a response. Her hand brushed the guild doors, pushing against it and ready to lead them out. She only hopped that she would be able to distract them long enough to figure something out.

Chloe did not know how to react to being scared and became very scared. She wanted to struggle and knew it was futile, so she waited to see what her guild had planned. They had taken her sword from her, leaving her unable to cripple then using Liquidate. Rita had given them a proposal before she was instantly dropped and she fell on her knees, as she gathered her stuff back. "Uh, what is happening?" Chloe said dripping water as she was curious what was happening.

the gang seemed pleased with the compliance and wariness of Fairy Tail, clearly the leader had made his point clear with the little magic he let slip out. The two members holding Chloe threw her to the ground but still stood at her flanks not allowing her to move or flee back to the safety of her guild mates as the leader stepped close to Rita; "Well... I would be inclined to believe you but my magic is forbidden truth magic, in essence that little burst I let out tells me if you are all being truthful or not and you little miss... Lied. You have no clue where he is and that pisses me off that you would be stupid enough to lie to protect your friend. Admirable... But stupid." He grinned as he looked over his shoulder still turning the blade in his hand playfully.

Naziel was watching on and overheard the conversation; "Rita why didn't you just tell them to go dammit!" He growled to himself gritting his teeth as he began slowly approaching the guild with anger building with every step. The air began to get colder, the air became lighter and peoples breath began to show.



The leader turned abruptly as he began to throw his blade at Chloe when he noticed his breath and the doors from which his party had just entered began to freeze, the flowers next to the door began to wilt and crisp with the sudden cold as his eyes widened at the sight behind him. In the light from the door, behind his men walked a solitary figure dressed in a large cloak, the hood fell back as it blew in the wind.

Naziel raised his arm and released the cloak as it took off in the wind as the cold air blew into the guild; "That's him! Kill him!! Kill the Demon Slayer!" The leader shouted as Naziel launched forward producing a magic circle as he slammed his fists togeather; "Demon Ice Fist!" He cried as he dove into the bastards that dared hold his guild mates captive, he pommeled one male across the chest as he watched blood take to the air before jumping with a roundhouse kick to another face sending him spiraling into the wall to the groups left; "Here I am you bastards! You wanna mess with me? Fine. But don't you DARE mess with Fairy Tail!" He cried as he dived picking up Chloe as the leader threw his blade missing Chloe by a matter of centimeters.

Naziel rolled with you small girl before pushing her into Rita's arms and launching the leader back towards his men. Now there was a stand off in the main hall of Fairy Tail and no where to run anymore.

----------------------------

Magic:

Demon Ice Fist - 1/3

"Dammit...." Rita murmured between gritted teeth. She didn't think that she would of been figured out so quickly and now Chloe would probably be hurt-

It all happened in a flash. The doors stood open, letting a pale ray of sunlight into the guildhall. A cloaked figure sat in the doorway, light to his back. And an instant later his hood slipped down and the cloak flew off of his shoulders in an icy gust of wind.

The snow haired man ordered his men to attack claiming...That their target was in fact Naziel, and an ice demon slayer at that... 'Impossible' Rita thought to herself. Naziel had up and vanished what seemed like ages ago. From what it appeared he had changed, visually at least. The Ice slayer wasted no time showing the little group that Fairy Tail was nothing to be trifled with...Loyal to his guild like he always had been, maybe he hadn't changed as much as she initially thought.

Rita wobbled and fell back onto her rear as Naziel elected to toss Chloe into her arms. Ebony showed up to the scene, asking if the two were alright, Rita quickly nodded and took the lollipop form her. Rita watched as the red head ran off to aid Naziel, but not before she plopped her blue animal onto Chloe's head leaving them to watch over him. Rita sighed. Apparently she was both a babysitter and a pet sitter now. At Least Ebony was here to help deal with the situation.

"Chloe, Atlas, Let's move somewhere a little bit safer." She recommend as she clambered to her feet and dusted herself off. The shadow mage spotted the table where she had left her exceed and wasted no time taking Atlas and Chloe back over with her, dragging Chloe by force if she needed to. She sat down sideways that way she could still get a look at the action going on in the distance. "Those guys look tough. Sh-Shouldn't you be helping, Rita?" Ghost wondered, swishing his tail nervously. "Well, they're tougher. With Ebony there the situation is practically already handled." She stated, popping the lollipop between her teeth.

Nightken just arrived at the guildhall when he noticed the doors were open and a group of unfamiliar people stood in the door way. Overhearing that they're after a slayer and that a fight was starting to brew he decided to step in. Walking to the guildhall black lightning started to shoot off of his body the sound of the lightning crackling caused them all to look towards him. "Hurt my guild and not even god can save you." While he said that his eyes turned crimson and a pair of black lightning great white sharks appeared next to him as he was walking towards them.

Lance growled to himself when Rita stopped his punch. As she put his fist at his side he started to speak again "You threatened not only my friends but my guild to... that is not forgiven.." he said as he looked at the guy "I may be a legal mage but I will kill if I need to..." he muttered again as he brought a small knife out a small knife out of his pocket and licked the blade before putting it back. He clenched his fist as he didn't notice Ebony come or Ken come. He had noticed that Rita had dragged Chloe away however.

Lea was waiting by the place were Rita had dragged Chloe off to and she snickered "He is only acting like this because he is worried about the guild..." she said as she looked at Chloe "But he is more worried about you two at this time so stay here or fight its your choice..." she said with a smile at the two girls as she sat down and watched the fight.

Everything was going so fast for Chloe. One minute she was being held captive and the next she was thrown at Rita. Luckily Rita caught her and a redhead had given her a lollipop as Chloe was told to watch her pet that was now on her head. Chloe nodded and said, "Don't Die. Ok?" she said hoping that this girl would be alright. Before Chloe could do anything else, Rita was dragging Chloe to a table where she was sat down next to Chloe. A minute later, Gwen flew up to Chloe holding Chloe's bag and weapon. "Chloe! I saw what happened are you alright!" The pink frog looking exceed said as she frantically flew and examined her body. "I'm fine Gwen, but I'm just hoping they are." Chloe said quietly as she looked towards the fighting, extremely hoping that her guild mates were alright.

Both of the sharks started to spin in a torrent style towards the group. Hiding behind the sharks he had them split apart in front of the leader allowing Nightken to punch him in the face full force sending him flying through the table behind him. Standing before the others in his group they tried doing a group attack, but that was their mistake. All of them fell to the ground unable to move just looked in terror as they saw the two lightning sharks floating in a circle around them. "I've got these guys that one is all yours Naziel." Nightken said keeping the others crippled by redirecting the electric impulses in their bodies.
