Chapter 17 - Enter, Ogre

"We don't even know where he'll show up at." Sherry said as the three of them were walking down the perimeter of the southern wall.

"It would probably be more efficient if we split up then to cover more ground." Yuka suggested. "Although we don't know how strong this guy-" Yuka stopped mid sentence and quickly moved his head to the right as a golden blade moved by his face. The blade made contact just above Yuka's left eye, cutting half of his eyebrow off in the process.

"A-AAAHHH!" Yuka yelled as he held his head. Lyon and Sherry quickly ran to Yuka. Lyon entered an offensive stance while Sherry kneeled down next to Yuka.

"What happened?!"

"M-my eyebrow…" A tear rolled down Yuka's face as he showed Sherry his left eyebrow was cut in half. To Yuka, his eyebrow wasn't just facial hair, it was his pride, his identity. It was a part of him that he felt was cut in two.

"Jeez and here I thought your head was split open. There's not even a drop of blood!" Sherry responded, annoyed as she shook her head and stood up again.

"Guys get ready." Lyon ordered as he saw a thick cloud of golden dust swirl in front of them. From the dust, a human's figure could be seen forming within. It was a large man with fair skin with no eyebrows who towered over the members of Lamia scale. He had a large, defined lower jaw and long white hair that was parted in the middle that ran down the sides of his face. He wore a red vest while remaining shirtless underneath, showing off his large muscles. As he grinned, his sharp spiky teeth were revealed.

"You must be Ogre." Lyon said as he looked at Ogre fiercely.

"Heh...That guy's eyebrow's pissed me off! So I did him a favor!" Ogre smirked and began walking towards the three of them.

"Ice make, eagle!" Lyon put his hands out in front of him with his right fist over his left palm. Three ice formed eagles appeared in front of him and flew towards Ogre.

"Gold make, wall!" A barrier of gold formed in front of Ogre, creating a large wall that covered his front.

"Some puny ice won't-" Ogre looked up and saw the eagles did not crash into the wall, but instead flew over it and were flying towards Ogre.

"Gold make, Axe!" Ogre opened his right hand and gold began forming in it, quickly taking shape into a giant axe. Ogre swung the axe before the ice eagles could reach him, shattering each of them. Suddenly, the golden wall in front of Ogre dispersed and Ogre looked at it, surprised as he did not disperse it himself. From the golden dust, Yuka emerged and charged at Ogre.

"I'll make you pay Ogre!" Yuka yelled as he charged at Ogre. An evil grin formed on Ogre's face as he tried to raise his cleaver but found it stuck to the ground, covered in mud.

Ogre looked to his side and saw Sherry, controlling the mud, keeping him from pulling his cleaver on Yuka.

"The power of LOVE! Now go my darling!"

"Now Lyon!" Yuka yelled as Lyon appeared above Ogre.

"Ice Make: Snow Dragon!" From Lyon's hands, the large head of a dragon formed of Ice emerges and crashes into Ogre, filling the area with a cold mist. Lyon, Yuka, and Sherry surrounded Ogre, waiting for the mist to clear up.

"Did we get him?" Sherry asked.

"Definitely. There's no way he could have-" Lyon's eyes widened as Ogre's figure was seen standing straight up. As the mist began clearing further, the group could see Ogre didn't have a single scratch on him. Ogre's body had also changed. His skin color turned red and he had grown another foot taller as well as having an increase in muscle mass, causing Ogre's vest to rip off of his body.

"What was that? That was nothing but a cold breeze!" Ogre laughed. "Gold make isn't my only magic! This is my other magic, Physical enhancement!"

Ogre punched the ground hard, forming a crater and creating a shockwave that knocked back the three Lamia Scale mages, knocking out both Sherry and Yuka.

"W-what the hell?" Lyon grunted on the ground as he tried to get up. Ogre smirked and began walking towards Yuka, who was unconscious on the ground.

"I think I'll start with you, eyebrows. That face of yours really pisses me off!" Ogre raised his fist and gold began to form around it.

"Gold make: Gauntlet!" A large golden, armoured fist with spikes on the knuckles formed over Ogre's right hand.

"Yuka!" Lyon yelled as he got into his fighting stance again. "Ice Make: Snow Tiger!"

A large tiger of ice materialized in front of Lyon and charged at Ogre. Ogre ignored the tiger and kept walking as the tiger jumped onto Ogre's back. It opened its mouth wide and bit down on Ogre's shoulder. As its ice teeth tried to sink into Ogre's shoulder, the tiger shattered into many pieces. Ogre brushed off the pieces of ice on his shoulder and continued walking to Yuka.

"Ice Make: Ape!" Lyon yelled as an enormous ape nearly the size of Ogre formed in front of Lyon. As the ape charged at Ogre, Ogre stopped in his tracks and turned his body halfway to face it.

Ogre extended his left hand out in front of the ape as the ape launched a punch at Ogre. Ogre caught the punch with his hand and grabbed the ape's arm. With only one arm, Ogre lifted the large ape up before throwing it back at Lyon.

"What?!" Lyon yelled in surprise as Ogre threw the ape at Lyon. Lyon put his arms up in front of him as the large hunk of ice crashed into him. Ogre grinned as he looked at the pile of ice Lyon was buried under. He turned around and set his sights on Yuka again. The ice on top of Lyon began to vanish as he lay on the ground, barely able to lift his head to see Ogre walking towards Yuka.

'This guy is a monster…' Lyon thought as he watched Ogre slowly make his way to Yuka's unconscious body. 'It would take someone like Jura to beat him...no I need to save Yuka…'

Lyon slowly struggled to get back up and managed to get on his feet again. Ogre noticed Lyon get up again and stopped walking.

"I'll kill you soon enough, so wait your turn!" Ogre threatened without bothering to turn and face Lyon. Ogre looked down and saw Yuka right beneath him. He wound his golden gauntlet back.

"Die you little eyebrow shit!" Ogre yelled as he threw the punch at Yuka.

"Yuka!" Lyon yelled.

Both Lyon and Ogre's eyes widened as they saw a young blond boy appear in the path of Ogre's fist.

'Meliodas?!' Lyon thought.

Meliodas looked up at Ogre as the fist was coming towards him and put his right hand out, blocking the punch with his palm. As the punch was caught in Meliodas's hand, the ground underneath him shattered and sunk, with the force of the punch exploding Meliodas's right sleeve off, revealing his Fairy Tail insignia. Meliodas began to sink into the ground as the ground caved in beneath him from the blow.

Ogre looked surprised as Meliodas tightened his grip on the gauntlet, causing it to crack. 'Who the hell is this kid?' Ogre thought as he looked at the child, until he noticed the Fairy Tail symbol on his arm. 'Fairy Tail?! I sent Gavan and Jin after him! He beat them both by himself?!'

Ogre dematerialized his gauntlet, freeing himself from Meliodas's grip, and jumped back.

"Well well well. You must be Ogre."
