(Third Person POV)

The skies were dark, the clouds heavy with storm rain.

The rain poured down hard as the people of the town were hiding in their homes as they had heard word of a large group of dark mages had invaded the town. They had been cut off from any sort of communication to the outside. 

They were trapped. 

In the town square, a massive crowd of hooded dark mages were gathered around a single person who was on top of a platform, merely standing and looking at his peers. He wore priest clothes and had long grey hair, a steel mask covering his face. 

This man was the High-Priest and leader of Avatar, the Zeref-Worshipping cult. His name was Alok.

He looked at the other cultists as he raised his arms, his entire body being drenched by the rain. 

"My fellow comrades..." He said, "Today is the day...." 

The dozens upon dozens of cultists shifted in excitement, the day they finally get to execute the long-awaited plan has finally come. They were finally able to perform the ritual to summon their God, Zeref. 

"The day we purify this town of the infidels." Alok said, "And in doing so.....we call forth the magnificent....the all-powerful Zeref!" 

The cultists then began to pump their fists into the air as they let out cheers. 

"But before that!" He said, "We must first accept two individuals in our mission."

As he said this, the crowd parted as a single person walked through. 

"Hm..." Hades said as he walked, "Alok....boy, you think this will work?" 

Alok looked at Hades, "Hades-san." He said, "Do not doubt someone as devoted as I. Purifying this town will proof more than effective. Zeref will come." 

"I doubt it." A voice said behind Alok, "But this will prove rather useful to me..." 

Alok turned around to see Silver standing behind him. Silver had his left eye completely demonized, his sclera pitch black and his pupils were bright purple. He also had massive dark marks that ran down his ear and into his neck. 

Other than that, he looked rather normal, wearing his usual armor and cape, the rain hitting him and drenching him completely. 

"Do not doubt!" Alok said with a bellowing voice, "The might of the God, Zeref, shall make you cower in fear, Demon!!" 

Silver gave him a slight glare, "Say that again..." He said coldly, "I'll run this through you..." 

He raised and pointed a massive dark halberd at Alok. The Cultist saw this and took a step back, feeling an absurd amount of dark power from the weapon. 

The halberd was oozing Eclipsed Darkness as the air around it was being distorted. Silver held it in his left hand, where his demonification was showing. 

"Silver." Hades said as he crossed his arms, "Don't kill him. We need him to perform the ritual." 

"Yes!" Alok said, "My ritual shall summon-" 

"Shut the fuck up." Silver spat, "You're not summoning Zeref. The ritual only serves to fuel this halberd with more souls, you fucking lunatic..." 

Alok glared at him, "So you were merely using me??" He growled, "You filthy low-life, I'll show you. My fighters will show up at any given moment shortly after dealing with the spy." 

Silver then narrowed his eyes, "What spy?" He said

Hades also narrowed his eye, "Spy?" He said, "Alok, you fool!" 

Suddenly, a massive missile shot at them from the air with tremendous speed. Silver saw this and pushed the priest off the platform. 

"High-priest!" The cultists exclaimed

Silver waved his hand at the missile, freezing it solid as it landed on the ground with a thud.

"What is this..." Silver said

"Yo, fuckface." Silver heard a voice call out, "Long time no see." 

Silver looked up to see Jason on top of a roof, looking at him with a serious glare. The cultists looked up at him and began to shout in alarm. 

"Who's that man?!?" they yelled, "What's he doing here!?!"

Hades merely looked at this, "This is something else..." He said with his arms crossed, "I didn't expect him to be here..." 

"Jason." silver said with a smirk, "You really did come." 

"Sounds like you expected me," Jason said

Silver chuckled, "I had a feeling." He said as he raised the halberd and pointed it at him, "But it doesn't matter." 

Suddenly, a massive stream of ice was shot from the tip of the halberd, firing straight at Jason. 

"Frost God's Zero Point." 

The ice stream that Silver shot at Jason exploded with black ice. 

Silver smiled, "The magic I traded with you really came in handy." He said

"Shut up." Jason said as he appeared next to Silver

Silver smirked, "This is as far as you come..." 

"Flay." Hades said

Suddenly, Jason's entire body was shredded as blood exploded everywhere, sending him flying down to the ground. 

"What the fuck?!?" Jason said as he stood up, "What are these? Cuts?" 

His entire body was cut up and bleeding. Jason clutched his wounds as he slowly healed them via his Life Return. He was surprised by this, usually, they're instantly regenerated but this was not the case. 

Jason then felt a magic power behind him. 

He turned around to see the green-haired man walk up to him, rain hitting him and drenching his body. 

"And you are?" Jason said

"I am Flay." The man said as he raised his hand, "Pleasure to meet you." 

Suddenly, Jason was hit with invisible cutting slices that opened up his chest with blood. The attack staggered him as he looked at this with a shocked face. 

"What the..." He said as he straightened up, "What is this magic?" 

Flay smiled, "I won't tell~" He said

Jason then looked up at Silver who was smirking, "You'll have your hands full with that one, Jason." He said, "Hehe!" 

Suddenly, Silver jumped away as Jellal landed on the platform, punching it while he was in Meteor. The impact completely collapsed the platform as Silver landed next to Hades. 

"Whoa!" Silver said

"Tch." Jellal said as straightened up

"Look at this." Hades said, "Jellal Fernandez." 

Jason looked at Jellal, "Hey, you know this green-head dude?" 

Jellal looked at Jason and widened his eyes in surprise to see his body cut up so easily. 

"Jason!" Jason heard Igora call out

Igora landed next to Jason from the sky. She looked at his wounds. 

"This power...." She said, "I feel it...it's Devil Slayer Magic." 

"Devil Slayer?" Jason said

Igora nodded as she looked at Flay, who was twirling his hair around, "That boy is a Devil Slayer, I'm sure of it." 

Flay looked at Igora and blushed slightly, "Oh?" He said, "Pretty lady~" 

He then sneered as he released an aura, letting out a wicked laugh. 

Hades turned around, "Let's leave." He told Silver, "He'll handle this. Alok, start the ritual." 

Alok and his cultists then scurried away as Hades and Silver began to walk away. 

Jason and Jellal looked at this. 

"We can't let this happen." Jellal said

Jason nodded, "Yea." He said, "But this guy..." 

He looked over at Flay who was blushing and smiling at Igora with a creepy smile. 

"Pretty lady~" He said, "I wanna play with you~ But...." 

His expression turned into a serious one. 

"You reek of demon..."
