Chapter 18 - Give it your all!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" 

As he roared, Kira could feel the screams that told him to destroy everything within his mind. 

Rage, hatred, and destruction. 

All the negative emotions and dark desires that he had suppressed kept telling him to do whatever he wanted, especially when many beautiful women were by his side. He wanted to do as he pleased, disregarding all the rules and following his evil desires without restraint.

Yet, as he was in a berserk state, everyone who was inside the headquarters of Fairy Tail, or those who were about to come, were startled, rooted in a place due of a fear before they made up their determination to go to the source of the roar as they were afraid their comrades to be hurt before they saw a scene that stunned them. 

"Huh?!" 

"W-What is that?!" 

"What a powerful beast!" 

Yes, Kira, who had transformed into a werewolf, appeared menacing, ruthless, and even vicious. Just standing by his side made them tremble with fear and terror as they felt so powerless before him, especially those who were weak and had a small role in the story of Fairy Tail. 

"Mira, what's happening?! What is this?!" 

Still, as this beast appeared near the Fairy Tail, it was impossible for them to let it go, especially if it might hurt all the members of the Fairy Tail! 

Makarov, who was drunk from alcohol, trying to escape from the headache and stress from writing all the apologies and reports for all the damages caused by his family members, quickly gathered his magic power, ready to take down this beast, but whether it was Mirajane, Cana, and Lucy, all of them quickly stopped all of them. 

"Wait! Wait! Don't hurt Kira!" 

"He is Kira! Don't attack!" 

"Stop!"

"..." 

Those words stunned and made them silly. 

"This is Kira?!" 

Everyone was clear about Kira since even if a day had passed, many of them couldn't forget him, especially when he had become the biggest among all of them! 

Yes, he might have fought with Natsu, but compared to his feat that could become the biggest and even defeat Makarov, it was nothing at all! 

Yet, no one expected that Kira, who had such a brutal beast inside his pants, would really become a beast! 

"W-What's happening?!" 

Facing such a question, Mirajane didn't hide anything and told the ins and outs, including how Kira wanted to learn to master his "Take Over" magic. Yes, in her mind, instead of mastering the ability of the Dangerous Game, she thought that Kira had absorbed the soul of a certain dangerous beast that might endanger those around him, like how her little brother, Elfman, had experienced in the past. 

"Man..." 

Elfman, Mirajane's little brother, looked at Kira with a complicated mood, yet deep inside, he wished for Kira to be able to succeed. 

"Have you seen this state of him before, Lucy?" Cana asked worriedly. 

"I do, but... this is much bigger." 

Lucy nodded nervously and murmured as she looked at Kira's state, which had become much more terrifying than before, especially when his height alone reached seven meters; yet instead of fear, all she felt was worry, hoping that he could succeed in solving his problem. 

"I see... that's how it is..." 

Yet, Lucy wondered what to do.

Makarov, Natsu, and the others understood what had happened, and naturally, when they thought of this, they also couldn't help but look at Elfman. 

The problem of the "Take Over" magic was known by everyone, and when the user couldn't take over the creature that they wanted to take over, their bodies would be the ones that were taken over and then went berserk, and when that happened, the user would hurt those who were precious to him. 

Kira discussed his problem with Mirajane, hoping to solve the problem inside him, and at this moment, he struggled, fighting with the beast that tried to overtake him. 

"Is there something that we can do, Mira?" Natsu couldn't help but ask, but Mira shook her head and said, "No, all we can do is just believe in him." 

The only one who solved this problem was Kira, the user of the magic. His mental strength and willpower were being tested, and if he could win, then he could dominate and use the power of the beast as he wished, but if he ended up in a failure, then his body would be taken over. 

Still, even if Kira's body was taken over, Mirajane would do her best to stop him since he had decided to believe in her and transformed, so she would do her best to live up to that trust! 

"Don't lose, Kira! Win!" 

All of a sudden, Lucy shouted, thinking that this was what she could do. 

"Huh?!"

Everyone was surprised, but then they looked at each other and nodded in agreement. 

"Don't let yourselves be taken over!" 

"You can do it!" 

"Don't lose, Man!" 

They might not be able to help Kira with his problem, yet even so, they would cheer him on! 

"Don't worry! We're all here! We're all by your side! There is no need for you to be afraid!" 

Makarov, despite his small height, made the loudest sound. 

"Keep your spirit, Man!" 

Elfman was even more so since, as someone who had lost control over himself and hurt the one who was precious to him, he gave his best cheers to Kira as if he were the one who was fighting.

As they cheered, they could see that Kira didn't move, yet seemingly in the struggle, trying his best not to hurt all of them, which made him shout even louder! 

The fear of hurting his comrades was what they thought was why Kira never moved and stood in a place, yet this wasn't the case at all.

Yes, his reason for not moving and fighting his inner self, which tried to take over him, making him lose his rationality and become a beast driven by his desires, was also a fear, but this fear stemmed from his understanding of the consequences of his actions.

Debts, losing an everyday life, guilt that came from his actions, becoming a criminal, and more importantly, poverty! 

The disadvantages that came from losing his rationality were far greater than the advantages. 

His experience, patience, hard work, and struggle that came from his previous life as a salaryman made him stop the beast inside him from being released! 

If he let himself go, could he handle the aftermath? 

Could he live normally after all of that? 

Would he have to live like a criminal, hiding away from the public and living in fear of being caught or killed by those who were in the light as he was riddled with a ridiculous amount of debts? 

No way! 

When he considered all of that, it was impossible for him to let himself be taken over by the beast within him.

He was the one who should take his own beast! 

He was the master of his own body and power!

More importantly, how could he lose his chance to enjoy his life after he got so much money and power?!

'I won't lose my bright future!' 

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" 

The howl of the beast was once again echoed within the city, and it was even heard in the surrounding cities, making those who heard it panic and fill with fear. 

Yet, when they thought that Kira would lose his mind, his eyes returned to clarity, then looked at everyone who surrounded him with doubt. 

"Kira?" Lucy looked at Kira and asked nervously. 

"What's wrong, Lucy?" 

"...you succeed?" 

"Yes." 

That answer was enough; Lucy immediately hugged him as she cried. "It's great! It's great! It's great!" 

"Thanks." 

Still, while Kira wouldn't lose his mind despite becoming a beast, he had no control over his physical ability, so he didn't return Lucy's hug as he was afraid that he might crush her to death if he hugged her. 

Nevertheless, watching all of them who had supported him till he was able to control this power, he took a deep breath and said, "Let's have a party! It's my treat!" 

"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" 

While all of them shouted happily, only some people felt helpless, especially with how close Kira and Lucy were.
