[After the party died down, everyone either hit the hay, or hit the road, as the case for Lyon and his posse. In the middle of the night, Clayton noticed some odd precipitation falling on them all]
Clayton Grimm:[Waking up] Uhhh...What the-[He outstretched his hand, allowing it to collect some black particulates] Is this soot?...[Noticing it's cold nature] No...It's snow...Black snow…[Realizing what it was, he tried waking Griffin up] Griffin! Wake up! I...I think Black Arctic is here!...Griff?![He shakes the sleeping cat] Griffin! Wake up! Vicki said if this stuff covers you, it can crystallize your blood and kill you![Smacking him] Wake *SMACK!* Up *SMACK!* You *SMACK!* Stupid *SMACK!* Little *SMACK!* Cat *SMACK!* Bastard *SMACK!*[The elderly feline did not even flinch as he was assaulted by his companion. The Exceed still remained asleep]
Shrouded Woman: He can't hear you, you know…
CG:[Spell a the ready] Who are you?! What have do done to everyone!?
SW: Relax...All I did was put an Enchantment around the Village...Making it so everyone stays asleep, except for you...Drake of the Earth…And IF you want them to stay safe, you're going to follow me, meet some old faces, and new friends, help us out with a little favor and we'll be on our merry way!...If not...Haidar's black snow will cover every inch of this island and kill all of your friends...Though I think the villagers will be able to hold out better...Slayer Magic is so weird...You think magic developed to kill gods would have no trouble killing some pesky demons...But it's probably for the best...We wouldn't want Oni dead...After all, he suggested that you can serve our needs…
CG:[Remembering] Oni...Where is that bastard!? I'll kill him for what he and his brethren did to Freesia all those years ago!
SW: Ooo! Someone's pissed!...Well if you want to save them, then follow me...We'd all love to meet you...And I'm sure you'd recognize some of our faces…[She walks off into the jungle]
CG:[Reluctant] Damn it…[He follows the mysterious woman]
Transition: Les Sorciers Terribles!
[As they walk off towards their destination, Clay tries getting information]
CG: So...Who exactly are you?
SW: Well...If you must know, my name is Harriet Lawson...My family specialized in Enchantment Magic...Generations upon generations...Governments across the world treasured our work…
CG:[Recalling about the Lawson family] Plus your family is one of the few groups of people to master Engravement Magic...Heard one of your ancestor was taught by my ancestor…
Harriet Lawson: That's right...Funny isn't it?...Your ancestor helped my ancestor centuries ago…And now it's happening again...A Grimm helping a Lawson…
CG:[Snapping back] I ain't helping no one who threatens my friends lives...Your lucky if I even consider it…
HL: Oh, you will...It's a win-win for everyone...But let's save that for the others…We're here…[They arrive to a clearing in the jungle] Hey everyone! Our guest of honor has arrived![She takes her robes off, revealing herself to be younger than Clayton initially thought. Her hair maroon in color, and eyes of honey. Her hair was in a chopstick hairstyle. She had several small beauty marks roughly dot up to appear like a squashed lowercase 'e’ arranged under her right eye. Her attire was that of a noble woman]
CG:[Surprised] What the hell? Your just a kid!
HL:[Pulling out a hair stick, ready to use her magic] I'll have you know, I'm not a kid...I'm thirteen...Therefore I am a teenager...And at least I'm not a pipsqueak like another thirteen year-old was[She returns the hair stick]...Clayton Grimm…
CG:[Annoyed] Yeah! Well I sure as hell ain't a shrimp now!
Shrouded Man 1: It's about time you brought him here, Harriet...I hate having to waste my magic like this…[With a wave of his hand, the black snow stopped falling]...Now Nidhogg...Just comply with us, and you might make it out alive...Though...I doubt Carrie would just let you leave without some form of payback…[The man removed his shroud, revealing his snow white hair, cold steely-blue eyes, cold demeanor, and his black and white monk-like attire]
Narrator: This man is Haidar Eisold. A survivor of the now dissolved Stygian Heretics. Also known as Black Arctic. For his opaque black God Slayer Ice Magic.
NinjaHound13: Yes. The Stygian Heretics were a guild comprised of God Slayers. Zancrow was actually a member prior to joining Grimoire Hearts, back when his guild was still intact.
CG: MAN...Though Vicky took you Heretics all out?!...I've got something to hold over her head now…How many of you are there left?!
Haidar Eisold: Hard to say...I know Zancrow survived...Don't know if anyone else did…
Shrouded Woman 2: He's not the only walking survivor of your despicable guild, Nidhogg…[She takes her shroud off to reveal herself with pitch black hair and eye colors, skin as pale as the moon, wearing ritualistic robes, dark eyeshadow, and her hair long, straight, but styleless] Remember me?
CG:[Remembers] Yes...And everything I did back then...Carrie Van Hellsing...It's been two years...Hasn't it…
Carrie Van Hellsing: Two years of sorrow...Two years of suffering...Two years since you destroyed my guild! My family! My…[With a tear] My father…[Angrily] And two years of training, night and day, two years of plotting my revenge!...TWO YEARS SINCE I'VE YEARNED FOR YOUR DEATH, NIDHOGG!!!
Narrator: This young fourteen year-old is Carrie Van Hellsing. Daughter of the late Seth Van Hellsing, also known as Set, deceased master of the all-vanquished Hollow Liches. Clayton saved her from being sacrificed to unseal Dracul, but slayed everyone she knew and loved.
Shrouded Man 2: Now, now, girl! Don't be so emotional...His darkness is admirable...If he wasn't a dog of ERA, he'd be quite a fine wizard...Oh! Where are my manners!?...You only know so many of our faces...But we haven't met!...My name is Blake Umbra...I'm a Devil Shadow Slayer...And if you don't obey our command, I'll snuff out everyone back in the Village...Demons and all...No offense Oni…
Large Shrouded Man: I've always wanted to meet a Male Valkyrie...But it looks like I'm only meeting the second one...Too bad...I wanted to wring that abomination's neck...See just how immoral he really is...If your wondering who I am...My name is Mjolnir…[He removes his shroud] Giant...AND, Lightning Giant Slayer…[Like he said, he's a Nephilim from a village of giants, outside of Fiore. He towers over Clayton by a solid foot, and all in his “Mortal” height. His hair of norse heritage and viking-like style]
Restrained Shrouded Woman:[Rabidly] KILL! HUNT! PREY!...[Snarling] I smell a threat…[Viciously] I'LL SLAUGHTER THREAT, AND FEAST ON THREAT'S FLESH!!!
Armor-Clad Man: Calm yourself Melissa...That Apex Lion* Soul in you needs to be put in check...It saved you...And if you aren't careful to tame it...It will consume you…[To Clayton] It's been a long time...Hasn't it boy?...All those years ago...I'm surprised you of all people survived...Your father was THIS close to killing every Etherious Demon...Just as close to killing Zeref as well...Eternal Magic is quite powerful...Perhaps too powerful for anyone to wield…
Narrator: This, is Oni. Zeref's second-most powerful demon. Only surpassed by E.N.D. in potential power. His curse is called “Eternal Army”. Allowing him to spawn soldiers that are virtually unstoppable. The only hopes most have is to immobile them, or wield Magic strong enough to obliterate opponents. Even still, when facing against a horde of them, one can easily be overwhelmed.
CG:[Angry] You...TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME AND MY HOMETOWN!?!
Oni: Because...I'm giving you the opportunity to kill Zeref...And every other one of his demons…
Dark Assassins:[Shocked] WHAT!?!
Blake Umbra: What about your old guild, demon?...I thought we we're here to force him to make us an all-powerful weapon, kill the SSF, him last, and ravage ERA with it!?
Oni: Tartaros is only intent on serving the Black Wizard...As is Grimoire Heart...I am here to serve Zeref...The man behind the Contradictory Curse...Not the man the Curse creates…Son of Grimm...Zeref still lives...And I know where he is...If you can truly make a weapon capable of killing even the unkillable...Hand one to me...And I'll end his suffering…
CG: And what do you gain from killing him?...HUH!?
Oni: Fulfilling my promise to him...And...My purpose...As well as the purpose of every Etherious demon...And once our purpose is fulfilled...We may finally cease to exist…
CG:[Livid] BULLSHIT!...If he REALLY wanted to die, then why did he destroy Freesia?! HUH!? ANSWER ME THAT! WAS THAT THE BLACK WIZARD OR HIM!?!
Oni: He...He acted in anger...Because...His master abandoned him once he got cursed...It was only once he was in his master's town...He realized why he abandoned him...His master was trying to protect his family from the deadly curse...But it was too late...After Freesia's destruction, and losing countless numbers of Etherious...He...Only sought out to end his sinful life...As retribution for his crimes…
Ultear Milkovich:[Entering the scene] You know where Zeref is?...And hid it from the alliance?! This group was handpicked by the alliance to eradicate his guild! Not for you to betray us! YOU stepped down from leading Tartaros to lead this group!...AND you want to KILL Zeref!?!...When Master Hades finds out about this, he'll have YOU killed, demon!...As for the rest of you...I order you to detain him!
HE: Oni's authority is that of even greater than you, girl...What gives you the right to order us to detain him?
UM: He relinquished that authority when he stepped down from leading Tartaros!...Now, do as I say! That is an order from your superior!
Oni: I will not resist...But...If you have any trust in me...In my goals...Hear me out...Once I am to finish my goal...The weapon is for you all to use as you see fit...And to counter Ms. Milkovich's order...I ask, not order...For you to kill this witch...She jeopardizes everything as long as she's alive…
[The assassins look at one another to get a group choice. They nod in agreement]
BU:[Lying] You will answer to the alliance, traitor![He uses his magic to restrain the demon]
UM: Glad you all made the right choi-
*STAB!*
[Harriet throws a needle-sharp hair stick from her hair, impaling Ultear. Just between her diaphragm and heart]
[Gasping] What...Is...The meaning of this…?[She falls to a knee]
BU:[Releasing Oni] It's called a mutiny…
CVH: We are Les Sorciers Terribles…
HE: The Terrible Wizards…
Mjolnir: And we don't serve you, witch…
HL: As for who we serve...
Les Sorciers Terribles: We serve ourselves!
Ur:[Pleading to Clayton] (Please! Don't let them kill my daughter!)
CG:(What the-)
Ur:(Your Griffin's friend, right?!...I'm Ur!...Please! Ultear is my daughter!...PLEASE!...I can't bear to see her die! *Sobs* I just found out she's alive!...*Sobs* I can't bare to watch her die…Not again…*Sobs*)
CG: HEY! You terrible wizards are here for me! Not her!
HE:[With a sword of black ice] We can do both…[He was ready to slash her down, only for her to use her orb to knock him away]
UM:[Getting up] Don't think...You wizards...CAN KILL ME SO EASILY!
*BAM!!!*
[Mjolnir swatted the wounded wizard in his true size, causing her to crash back-first into a large tree's trunk]
Mjolnir:[Cocky] Come on!...Where's all that fight now?!...Leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory...I thought you were a STRONG wizard, meant to survive in your New World Order?...Can't do that bleeding out!...
UM:[Getting up against the tree] I'll...SHOW YOU STRONG!!![She uses her Arc of Time Magic to attack Mjolnir, but it did nothing more than annoy him]
[Gasping] Why didn't it…
*STOMP!!!*
[In excruciating pain] My legs!...You're gonna…
Mjolnir: That's the idea…Oh!...And a word of advice...Time Magic is virtually useless against immortals...[He pulls back his foot, ready to kick her legs into paste, only for Clay to lend his Dragon Force at the end]
*CLANK!!!*
Mjolnir:[In pain] Augh! *THOOM!!!* [The giant's fall caused the whole island to shake]
[Meanwhile back in the Village. The shaking caused Griffin to roll towards Lucy's face. By pure accident, he clawed her face open. She of course did not wake up do to the Enchantment. While Gray laid an arm over Erza's chest. What Clayton and Harriet didn't know was that Chico was outside of the Enchantment with the nanny goat, taking a nighttime stroll to the beach when everything happened]
Chico Hammitt: What the-...What was that?...
Lyon Vastia:[To Chico] Hey! YOU!
[Lyon and the rest of his wizards met up with Chico]
Do you have any idea what the hell that was?!
CH:[Nodding no] No…
Toby Horhorta: This is bad...Some jerk put an Enchantment around the people from Brago...We've tried waking them up, but no luck!...
Yuka Suzuki: What's worse is that it's too powerful for my Antimagic to dipel...And even if I could, it specifies that if it we were to remove anyone from them, they'd cease to live…
Sherry Blendy: The people of Brago are our responsibility...As their protectors...We need to find a way to free them...For the sake of love 💓
Nanny: *Bleet* (They may have done the same thing for the Village...And everyone in it!...We need to find and stop the Enchanter responsible for this!)
CH: You're right...We need to find whoever did this and put a stop to them!
Souls:[Showing the way] Over here!...
CH: Follow them!
Wizards: Right!
[Back at the clearing]
Mjolnir:[Dazed] Uhh...What the-*Groan*
[Clayton used the scales covering him to cover and weight down the fallen giant]
CG: Stay down, giant jerk!...[He heads over to Ultear, cradling her, and healing her] Stay with me!...
UM:[Weakly] Why...Why are you protecting me?...I'm your enemy...I want you dead…
CG:[In a suave manner] C'mon!...My family wrote Grimm's Fairy Tales...I'm just helping a damsel in distress!...
UM:[To Clayton] 💋[She kissed the Drake of Earth, ignoring the nuisance that he played a part in messing with her ambitions] Thank...You…[She passes out]
CG:[To himself] The hell's up with me?!...Do I have the lips of a jigalow or something?!...
Ur:[Shocked] (What the-...Does...Does my daughter have feelings for you, boy?!...)
Gaedey:(I wouldn't get your hopes up…)
Ur:[Confused] (HUH!?!)
Gednus:(It seems this is a common phenomenon for Clayton...He's kissed so many women, it's hard to keep track...Victoria, Tammy, Mary, Daniela, Simone, Kimberly, Cana, Chico, Mirajane, Erza, Bisca[Happened during the party when she was drunk] Chico again...AND NOW this girl! And that's just the women he kissed AFTER Victoria! If we'd include them all, we'd be here all day!)
NinjaHound13: The six after Victoria were his other exes when he tried to move on, but they didn't last]
Ur:[Confused] (Uhhhm...Who are you two?)
Gaedey:(Oh! That's right! We haven't introduced ourselves! Hello! My name is Gaedey! I'm Clay's foster mother! The other one is my husband Gednus! OH! And we're dragons!)
Ur:[Shocked] (Wha??? You two are dragons!?!)
Gednus:(Yes we are, Eternal…)
Ur:[Confused] (E...Eternal…?)
Gaedey:(Yes! That's what you are! A Hydro-Eternal to be exact!)
Gednus:(Eternals are formed when ones lifeline is no longer attached to ones body, but still remains in the Physical Realm...Such as yourself…)
CG:[Annoyed] (Can you three shut the hell up?!...I have cute girl to save!...Wait! Why did I say it like that?!...I meant damsel to save!)
*ZAP!!!*
[Clayton managed to take the full of Mjolnir's lightning attack, but he knew he couldn't protect Ultear and himself, AND defend them forever]
Mjolnir: I'm impressed...For being pushed around by girls you're pretty tough…
HL&CVH:[Offended] WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?!
Mjolnir: Relax...He was trained by giantesses as well as dragons...I'm just surprised the Valkyries didn't make him soft…
*CLANK!!!*
Mjolnir:[In pain] Aaagh!
[Clayton made and threw a Nephilim Slaying Palladium anvil onto his foot, being VERY painful and damaging for him]
CG:[Snapping] How's THAT for soft…?!
Ladies: He kind of deserved that…
Mjolnir:[Pissed] Oh, yeah?! Well how much longer can you keep this up, Nidhogg!?...Once there's a break in your guard, we'll kill her, and kill as many of your friends until you give us a Lord Slayer Platinum Weapon! Lightning Giant: Battlecry!
NinjaHound13: Roars for dragons, belows for gods, rages for devils/demons, and battlecries for giants.
[Clayton blocked Ultear from the battlecry, however, his durability took a hit]
HE: C'mon, boy...You can't keep her safe AND fight all of us…
CG:[Panting] The hell I can!
[He took a Magically manipulative jab, commanding the surrounding earth to form swarms of arms and jab all of Clayton's opponents, from all directions]
HL:[In pain] What the hell was that…?
HE:[In pain] He just...Hit us from all sides…
Mjolnir:[In pain] How's that possible?...
CVH:[In pain] He must have used that to fight everyone in Sin…
Melissa:[Snarling] I'll hit YOU from all sides!
Oni:[In pain] Impossible...Your father used that same technique back in Freesia...There's NO WAY he taught you that...You were too young…
CG:[Caring for Ultear] Your right...He DIDN'T teach me…[He took his coat off to have several arms of magical earth sprout from both shoulder blades] I learned The Fists of the Hecatoncheires* by watching him fight!
HE:[Confused] The what of the what!?...
Oni: The Fists of The Hecatoncheires...The only form of Hand-to-hand Combat Magic that can single handedly work against an entire army...It's been absolutely perfected…
CG:[Agreeing] Damn right it is…[Looking at Ultear's wound] Shit...Gotta close it up…[He rips out the needle and throws it into a nearby tree] I need room to work..[He uses some trauma shears to cut off her clothes from the waist up]
*WOW!*
Men:[Curious] HELLO!
3x *BAM!*
[Clayton used the Hecatoncheires Fists to punch some deserved shame into the three perverts]
Ur:[Pissed] (WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER, YOU PERVERTED DOG!?!)
Gaedey:(Calm yourself ma'am...He needs the room to see how severe the wound is…)
Gednus:(Besides...He's passed that perverted phase...The Valkyries tortured all the peeping tom out of him as a teenager...To him, it's nothing special…)
Gaedey:(Yes! Even beforehand he wasn't that perverted...Slightly curious...But not a peeping tom!)
Ur:(That's...Good to know…)
CG:[Patching up Ultear's wound, he finished up by patching it up, and wrapping her torso in bandages] There...All better...You're gonna make it through this…[He cradled her in his arms]
[Back in the Village]
Happy:[In his sleep] Oh, wow! He lo-o-oves her!
[Back in the clearing]
Ur:[Jealous] (Damn...If there were only more men that act like him in this world…)
CG:(What part of “Can you three shut the hell up!”?)
Ur:(The “Saving a cute girl” part…)
CG:(Shut it, puddle mom!)
Oni: Kill her...And take Nidhogg in...Alive…
LST: Got it!...
[Before they could land there attacks, a wall of ice blocked their targets]
CH: Clay!
LV: I don't know who any of you are...But you should leave at once!...Or else you'll face the wrath of The Cold Emperor…
HE:[Laughing. Mocking] The Cold Emperor!?...*Laughs*...Damn, boy...That's an awful wizard name…
SB,YS&TH:[Defending] Don't you dare insult Lyon!
HE:[Remembering that name] Lyon…?
BU: Well, well, well...Seems like you have some backup, Nidhogg…
Mjolnir: Yeah...Where'd you find these wizards?...Mages 'R Us?!
LST:[Laughing]
CG: Hey! Don't be dissing my backup! I've got Nephthys backing me up!...As for the rest...Well...They ain't weak at all!...
TH:[Looking at Ultear in Clayton's arms] Hey! What you doing with Zalty's girlfriend?!...
YS: Zalty has a girlfriend?...
SB: A girl's with Zalty?...
LV: No...Zalty isn't Zalty! He isn't even a “He”! Zalty was a Dark Wizard in disguise! She was using us to free Deliora![Seeing her better. Noticing her top off] Hey...She looks like...Ur…
CG: Yeah...She's Ur's daughter, Ultear!
LV: That's impossible! Ur's daughter died years ago! Before me and Gray were even her apprentices!
CG: Yeah?!...Well tell that to the chick speaking to me from the other side saying she's that chick's mother, AND that she's Ur!
LV: That's...Impossible…[Seeing Clayton covering her chest] And if so, you're groping my master's daughter, you pervert!
CG:[Pissed] I'M NOT A-
SB:[Interrupting] He's not a pervert, Lyon…
LV,HL&CVH: How do you know that!?!
[Sherry lowered her dress top, exposing her chest and breasts to everyone. Clayton was unaltered by it, but the men were in both shock and awe, while Harriet and Carrie were shocked, and Chico was just unamused]
Men Excluding Clayton:[Curious] HELLO Fiore!
CG: Grow up you guys! It's just some breasts...Acting like it's the Holy Grail…
HL&CVH: You aren't turned on by that?!
CG: To me...Beauty is deeper than skin...It's in the heart and mind of a woman…
SB:[Returning her dress to normal] See…
CG: Focus gang!...
Chico! Have your Seven take her out of here and guard her! Then take the chick with long, black hair!
Sherry! Take miss chopsticks over there!
Yuka! Take the guy with black hair!
Toby! Take these,[He tosses a case with new Inuotes*] And use your poison to fight him![Points to Mjolnir]
Lyon!...Do me a favor and fight the bastard in armor…
I'll fight Mr. Freeze over there…
LV: No...I'll take the Ice Wizard...You take the guy in armor…
HE: You don't wanna do that, kid…
CG:[Sarcastic] Oh, NO! By all means, take the Ice Wizard! Hell! Why don't you start the fight off by attacking ALL OF THEM!
LV: Good point...Ice Make: Eagle Migration!
[The swarm darted towards the Dark Wizards, yards away from hitting them, only to be funneled into the Ice God Slayer's hungry maw]
HE:[Finished] Mmmm...Your ice has a...Gamey taste to it...And kinda tastes like chicken…
LV:[Shocked] What the-?!
CG:[Sarcastic] Ooo! So close! Wanna try again?! Or do you want to get your frozen head out of your ass and follow my lead!?!
LV:[Reluctant] Fine...
