CHAPTER 3- COUNTERATTACK

"How do you know my name, who are you" Rogue said to the dragon he was fighting

"I have orders to take you in, by force even if I have to" the dragon replied to Rogue "Which you ordered yourself"

"What" Rogue said in disbelief "What's happening"

Just as he was about to be abducted he heard someone call his name. The dragon and Rogue looked at the direction of the sound. It was a yellow haired mage, it was his best friend Sting. As Sting approached him he noticed something odd, he was smiling, how could a human still be smiling despite the fact thaall of that happened.

"Rogue" Sting shouted

"What happened did? Where is the dragon you're fighting? Did you beat it already" Rogue asked like a machinegun. Sting calmly approached him and put an arm to his shoulder.

"-cough- I brought it here" Sting calmly said

The dragon who was watching the scene unfold in front of him decided he had enough. As he was about to lean in, something crashed on him. Hard.

"WHAT?" Rogue shouted


"Let's go Marielle-san" Lyon said, the reply he got was a nod from the woman

"I'll do my best" Chelia said with courage

"That's right, I'll trust you to have my back" Marielle said while patting Chelia's head

"Marielle, some others will come here,too" Lyon said "let's hold out till then"

With that the trio rushed to the dragon

"ICE MAKE: DRAGON"

"ROAR OF THE WATER DRAGON"

"SKY GOD'S DANCE"


"This is getting hard" Gajeel said "come on oldman, let's end this"

"Don't call me old" Atlas said with annoyance

Atlas and Gajeel rushed again, to the adamantine dragon, Motherglare. Gajeel's attack has synchronized with Atlas even they have only been fighting in a short time.

"Put me down I got a plan" Gajeel said, and without hesitation , Atlas threw him by his tail. Gajeel was screaming and swearing, what he had in mind was Atlas putting him down gently. Suddenly he noticed as he approached the ground fire started to blow out of his feet, it was like thrusters and within a minute he safely landed

"You okay boy" Atlas shouted at him

"You're a crazy son of a gun" Gajeel shouted "That explains a lot about Natsu"

Natsu had resemblance to the hellfire dragon; reckless and powerful

"Do what I told you earlier" Gajeel shouted

Atlas backed away and unleashed a breath attack at Motherglare

Gajeel carefully aimed at Motherglare's belly and launched his attack

"ROAR OF THE IRON DRAGON"


Laxus and Future Rogue were now in an intense fight, both dragon slayers exchanging blows and evenly matched. Laxus never failed to return the favor everytime he got hit and the shadow dragon slayer. Both of them rushed in together, they punched each other. Their fists hitting each other and they were both thrown back just because of the sheer force of their magic

"LIGHTNING BODY"

"SHADOW'S DRAGON BLADE"


"ROAR OF THE SKY DRAGON"

"ANIMAL SOUL: BIRD"

"BEAST ARM: IRON BULL"

The three launched a barrage attack on the dragon, which hit the dragon square in the chest. Although it did not do much damage the dragon was knocked back a little. After seeing their chance the three attacked again.

"SKY DRAGON'S WING ATTACK"

"ANIMAL SOUL: WINGS"

"BEAST ARM: JET BLACK SWORD"


"You expected to win against me, you're puny human" the dragon snarled at Gildarts

"What was that, bastard?" Gildarts replied

"You're unlike any normal human,but you lack something, you could have beaten me if you had it" the dragon said

"What?" Gildarts asked in confusion

"You're not a dragon slayer" the dragon shouted and was about to attack but interrupted by a voice

"But he's with one" the figure said

"Who are you?" the dragon and Gildarts deadpanned

"An ally but leave the introductions for later, let's finish the annoying pest first" the figure said who was now emerging, it was none other than Cobra

"Fine, but you'll talk later" Gildarts said in agreement

"CRUSHING EVIL, SPREADING TRUTH: IKAZUCHI"

"POISON DRAGON'S SCALES"


"What happened here?" Lucy asked the the princess, Princess Hisui. Before them was destruction, it was hell there were bodies literred all around, dead bodies.

"Aye" Happy said

"Well, when we got the news that Acnologia is coming, we used this" Hisui said while pointing to a big doorway"

"HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?" Gray exclaimed, not paying much attention to details, that he was shouting at the princess of Fiore

"Well, a guy approached us and said that he came from the future and we should build the eclipse gate because of Acnologia, he said Acnologia will attack Crocus and the only way to beat him is the eclipse gate, that was seven years ago" Hisui confessed

"And then what happened?"

"Acnologia came into view and we planned to use eclipse gate to end him but dragons came out of the gate" Hisui continued "We were just standing still, if it weren't for Arcadios , I would have been long dead" Hisui gestured to a man in armor helping some knights.

"Then?" Gray asked her to continue

"The dragons killed the knights, while other's flee and hid just like me, I just hid while they were being slaughtered like cattles, after that the magic was unstable at the eclipse gate and it just closed " Hisui said with a sorrowful tone "If it weren't for me, everything would still be okay"

"It's not your fault" Lucy said with a comforting voice, Hisui was now crying and Happy tried to cheer her up by patting her head an offering her fish (that's happy for you)

"What happened to the future guy?" a voice asked

Everybody turned and prepared for battle turns out it was just Juvia.

"I followed Gray-sama, I couldn't leave him, not now where it's dangerous" Juvia confessed

"I think she liiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkeeessss you" Happy rolled his tongue

The Princess was now in a better mood these people, even though the destruction and chaos they still act normally, it reminded her of her mother the warm feeling.

"Well, What happened?" Lucy pressed the question again

"That man was riding one of the dragons when I last saw him" Hisui said

"Princess we must move now, and you" Arcadios pointed to Gray "You help me carry the wounded to your infirmary"

"Okay" Gray agreed

"I'll help my Gray-sama too" Juvia volunteered

"Count me in" Lucy chirped in

"Aye sir"

"By the way Gray, I saw a cart on our way here, let's use it before the horses get away from it" Happy suggested

"Nice thinking Happy, Gray you and Juvia wait here while we get there" Lucy said

"Sure" Gray agreed

"Come on then Lucy" Happy grabbed Lucy and started to fly "You're liken 0.5 tons Lucy"

"You don't tell people's weight by tons" Lucy shouted back

-after a few minutes—

"Gray, Juvia" Lucy shouted. She and Happy were now with the cart, which Happy was driving.

They carefully loaded the wounded on the back of the cart , after a few bodies they started on their merry way

"By the way Happy where did you learn how to drive a cart" Lucy asked

"Natsu taught me, maybe a few years ago" Happy replied

"Well he is good for something" Gray smirked

"Oh, Gray-sama, you look cool when you do that" Juvia said

"What?" Gray asked

"Gray your clothes" Lucy deadpanned

"Shit, where are they?" Gray said while looking around

"Here Gray-sama I picked them up while you were stripping, it was lovely" Juvia said with a gleeful expression

"I think they have forgotten we are here princess" Arcadios said

"Let them be this is fun to watch" Hisui replied

"Destroy the gate, you must destroy the gate" Natsu said weakly while trying to get up, he noticed there were a couple of other people in the tent besides him one of them was Erza. Fortunately for him, most of them was asleep or was just to unfocused to notice him. Natsu managed to get up and walk towards the entrance of the tent only to be greeted by a blue cat.

"Ooomph" the blue cat said

"Happy" Natsu said

"Sorry Natsu, wait what are you doing Natsu" Happy said noticing that Natsu was in no condition walk around

"Natsu" Lucy shouted

"Flame-brain you're in no condition to scamper around" Gray said with worry although Gray was still be able to say names to Natsu.

"I agree with Gray-sama, Natsu-san you should rest" Juvia agreed with them.

"Excuse me" Arcadios said before he and a medical mage carried a wounded body in

"You should rest" the medical mage said while passing them "I'll tend to you later go back to bed"

"Gray, tell everyone, the only way to destroy the dragons is to destroy the gates" Natsu said weakly to Gray "Gather everyone you can spare and destroy the eclipse gate"

"How do you know that? And eclipse gate?" Gray asked

" I will explain later just do it" Natsu pleaded

"Okay, let's get you to bed first" Lucy said

Lucy and Gray helped him back to his bed, and as they were leaving Natsu said something

"Oh, and don't let anyone near Acnologia's carcass, now go" Natsu said

With that Gray, Happy, Lucy and Juvia left.

"rest huh, guess I do need it" Natsu thought before dozing off again

While Arcadios and Princess Hisui was left there to help.

"Master, master" Happy shouted

Makarov turned around and faced his children

"Gramps, we need you to take everyone we can spare" Gray said

"What's happening" Makarov asked

"I will explain later Master" Lucy said

"Aye sir" Happy said to convince master

"It was said to us by Natsu-san himself" Juvia said finally convincing the master

"Guildmasters can you please" Makarov asked his fellow Guildmasters

"I hope you're right about this" Bob said

"Makarov's always right Bob, what could go wrong were talking about the guy who evaded many money problems" Goldmine said

-After a few minutes—

"Everyone's here Lucy" Makarov asked her guild member "What now?"

"Follow Gray please" Lucy said

Gray started to walk, with Juvia by his side, soon the other mages followed. Roughly there were about five hundred mages, from different guilds. Soon after the last batch of mages were gone Lucy, Happy and the guildmaster also went. After minutes of walking they arrived at the site of the Eclipse gate.

As the Guildmasters and Lucy and of course Happy went to the middle of the crowd to the front.

"What now?" Bob asked the young mages

"I want everyone to build up their magic power, let's destroy this is one blow" Gray said to the Guildmaster

"You owe this time Makarov" Goldmine said "You can't give all the orders, it feels like I don't have a spotlight" he smirked

"OKAY LISTEN UP, WE WILL DESTROY THIS GATE WITH ONE ATTACK, FOCUS AND BUILD UP YOUR MAGIC WE WILL RELEASE THIS AT ONCE" Goldmine shouted

Everybody started concentrating even the Guildmasters, the pressure was getting heavy but the mages did not care about it. Right now they need to focus and give it all they got

"LAUNCH" Goldmine shouted

Goldmine attack was first and was followed by few attack and soon all of the attacks of the mages. It was a multi-level Unison Raid. The likes of which that did not happen in history. As their attacks merged it was nearing the gate. As the attack made contact with the gate, it was like a nuclear bomb going off infront of you. Some mages were thrown back, but most of the mages stood their ground. Their strength was a strong as their will to fight. The explosion created a massive cloud of dust, so the mages had to wait until it settled.

"Shit, we went overboard" Makarov deadpanned after realizing what happened

As the dust settled completely, the mages were shocked, happy and most of all sad, mostly the guildmasters. Starting from the gate, up to 4 kilometers was a huge creater. Although the gate was nowhere to be seen, possibly vaporized the masters were worried that they destroyed something. Their attack decimated the royal castle. But nevertheless they destroyed the gate, but how where they going to pay, every guildmaster was know crying like a baby.

Upon the destruction of the Eclipse Gate, almost instantaneously the seven dragons vanished without a trace. Although Laxus' fight was still on going
