THE HELLFIRE FLAMES Chapter 10: Demon!

WITH THE FAIRIES

"Dammit Erza, Master said only to observe. We are not allowed to engage that thing until he gets here." Currently the three fairy tail mages were standing on a small cliff as they observed the fight below.

They had contacted the master a couple hours ago and he confirmed that he would be their within the next few hours. Currently, the group were amazed at Natsu's endurance since he was fighting Deliora for over 4 hours now.

"Dammm...Natsu is a real monster. Im not sure anyone would last against him given the fact that he is slowly getting stronger during the fight as we saw earlier. Its as if Natsu is afraid to use all of his power at once which is very confusing." Gray once again shocked Erza and Lucy, this time with his observation skills.

"It appears so Gray." Master Makarov slowly strolled to stand with the group.

"Wahh- Master, when did you get here?" Said master grinned mischievously at the stunned mages before turning to the fight which was now about to finish.

The battle was a rough one, all could tell because of the forms that the two combatants were in. Both were worn to the bone and looked ready to drop at any second. They then observed as Natsu brutally stabbed the demon in the chest causing it to topple over onto his back.

Then all if a sudden a blood red portal opened and a red demon emerged, with a terrifying presence that made everything stop for a few second. It was as if time itself stopped for this demon.

The fairy tail mages all looked with their jaws on the floor as the demon calmly spoke to Natsu who looked just as surprised as them.

WITH NATSU AND MALOCH

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Natsu yelled at the demon as he slowly lifted his sword and pointed it at the demon causing it to glow.

"Thats no way to address your father, is it Natsu?" The demon chuckled at Natsu's face of disbelief.

"Why? Why are you here now? You have no idea whats going on. Im so close..." Natsu had one of his hands now over his face. His red eyes were wide as he struggled to keep control. That bastard showing up here might be enough to trigger it. 86% its still increasing. Ne-eed to calm down now.

This was too much as he looked at the demon in front of him who looked completely confused at Natsu's state. With deep breaths he slowly began to calm himself.

"So close to what brat?" The demon questioned mockingly.

Natsu sighed 81...79...76...its dropping. "This curse that you have given is unbearable sometimes. Using anything more than 80% might trigger a transformation." Natsu immediately glared at demon as he smirked in contempt.

"Well maybe you shouldnt keep it all bottled up Natsu. You must let it free and become free with it." The demon rumbled as he looked at Natsu. Even though he was saying this, he knew what would happen if Natsu released his true strenght and Fiore definitely wasnt ready for that yet. It seems as if Natsu himself is aware of this as seen with the control Natsu just showed.

Anybody else would have went on a rampage and he himself might have had to make an appearace to stop it which made him a little proud of his son. He has definitely grown leaps and bounds since the last time they met.

"But that isn't why I'm here Natsu. I'm here to congratulate you on your victory here. Even though Deliora is an artificial demon, he is still incredibly powerful. This is by no means an easy feat." The demon was studying Natsu carefully. He stood at an easy 7'3 and his muscles were just as incredible.

Slowly he returned to his human form before looking at the demon with a cold glare.

"Leave." It was quiet but Maloch heard perfectly clear which caused him to grin like a crazily.

"Cmon Natsu. Why dont you catch up with your old man a bit?" Maloch had no idea why he was provoking the boy but he really wanted to know what Natsu would do.

"I SAID LEAVE NOW!" Natsu was emanating incredible magic power as he stared at Maloch. His body slowly started to morph into his demonic form as hellfire burst into existence around him.91% shit shit shit.

To say Maloch was shocked is an understatment. The kid have definitely became more powerful. More powerful than he would ever dream possible. This kid isnt human anymore he mused.

"There is no need for that brat. You know exactly what would happen if we fought each other. You have definitely gotten strong Natsu. Stronger than i ever imagined. And i want to know why? What happened to the carefree idiot that would alway be grinning and smiling. Believe it or not that was one of your most admirable traits. What happened to that Natsu?" The demon now had a curious gaze as he looked at Natsu.

Natsu, now calmed down, looked at the demon with emotionless eyes. "That Natsu died years ago. There was no need for any of those traits. This is my true self and nothing will change that." He let a mirthless chuckle as he looked at the demon. "You are partly responsible for it as well. But let me ask you a question. What would you do if you saw your best friend killed in front of you? An entire village slaughtered just for kicks and the pleasure of harming others. And you had to watch it all because you couldnt do anything?"

"Let me tell you something. You would force your body to its limits. You would break it over and over so you can get stronger. You would force yourself to become a monster so you wouldnt have to see it happen again. You would do things that haunt you for countless nights." Maloch was now looking at Natsu thoughtfully as he absorbed the infomation being given.

"No one knows this, but that day in the village was the first time my magic was truly released at 100%. That village doesnt exist on the map today. That was the day that Natsu died. Its partly why i thrive so hard to keep my emotions in check. Now I have to get back to my friends. It was good meeting you again Maloch." He let a slight smile before he turned around only to see his friends watching him, all wide demon smirked before he returned to his own realm.

THE NEXT DAY

The fairy tail wizards were currently making their way through Magnolia. After the whole Deliora incident, the mages hadnt quesyioned Natsu at all, prefering to give him his space. And he really hadnt said anything since the whole mission.

After the fight Erza and the Master had explained to the islands inhabitants the real reason for their transformation. It turned out that they didnt transform into demons, they were demons and the moon drip caused severe memory loss to them which inturn caused them to believe they were originally human.

After all of this the group had returned directly to Magnolia which leads them to the current predicament.

"Damm, are those fairy tail wizards?"

"They probably dont know what happened."

"We shouldnt get involved with something like this."

"Yeah, it looks like phantom has just gotten started."

"This could mean the end for either one of these powerhouses."

"Dammm...but i like both of them."

Meanwhile the fairy tail wizards were all confused at the looks of pity being thrown their way. That is until they spotted their guild hall.

The entire thing was thrashed with huge metal poles sticking from all directions. The fairy tail mages all had looks of shock, even Master Makarov had a surprised look on his face.

"What happened to our dam guildhall?" Gray growled out as gave a look of pure anger, ice slowly forming around him and the temperature slowly dropping.

"It was Phantom. They came at night while the guildhall was deserted and wreckt it." The answer came from the lovely barmaid, Mirajane Strauss who currently had a look of worry.
