VISITORS
The sound of metal sharpening pierced the air as Erza and Gingka's swords clashed. The two warriors each had a fire in their eyes as they stared each other down, not wanting to give in to one another. Both of them had their teeth gnashed together as their blades were still intertwined, letting off a few sparks while they slid across each other.
"Oh man…" Natsu uttered out of disbelief, blinking in surprise as even though the battle had just begun, he could already tell the immense strength emerging from the two fighters. His guild mate and his new friend then jumped away from each other, charging forward again at the same exact moment they landed onto the ground. Sparks continued to fly as they blades clashed over and over, making the sound off banging metal echo throughout the area. Everyone on the sidelines watched on closely, wondering how the battle would turn out. As the beyblader and the requip mage locked weapons once again, glaring at each other angrily, the former slid his up the metal of the latter's, spinning around to try and slice at her while she was taken aback. However, she quickly recovered, blocking the attack with her blade, having her right hand upon the hilt while the left held the sharp metal itself, keeping her foe at bay. A smirk then graced her lips, much to the surprise of her opponent as he blinked in confusion. She suddenly swung her weapon, causing him to be sent sliding back a few feet, being left completely exposed as his enemy lunged out at him, prepared to pierce him with her blade. To her shock though, the shaggy haired managed to cross his sword over his chest, blocking her attack as she gasped.
'So fast…!' she inwardly noted with trembling eyes. They then took notice of the bluish aura enveloping his blade, along with his grin.
"Tornado Burst!" he exclaimed, with a sudden burst of wind to follow from his weapon, blowing the scarlet haired warrior back in a yelp. She managed to plant her feet against the ground, only having slid back a few yards as she came to a stop, looking out at her foe. He spun his blade around before taking a tight hold on its hilt with his right hand, having it be parallel to the ground while he stared out at Erza.
"Hmph," she merely scoffed, standing firm from where she was, "I'll admit, I'm impressed," she confessed to him, "Perhaps your boldness to challenge me wasn't so foolish after all…" she added, smirking a little while he narrowed his eyes at her in contempt, "Nevertheless," she kept going, pointing the tip of her sword towards him, "I won't lose," she stated confidently. Gingka took a tighter hold on the hilt of his weapon, but cracked a smile, much to her confusion as she raised an eyebrow.
"Well, one of us has to go down to decide this, right?" he inquired cleverly, chuckling a little, "If that's the case," he continued, "then I'm the one that's not gonna lose," he declared, getting into a ready stance. She did the same as well, prepared to attack her opponent. Meanwhile, everyone witnessing the battle watched on closely, especially Makarov as he crossed his arms over his chest.
'Whether it's by fate or by chance…' he began to himself, 'the result of this battle may just determine our guild's future…' he thought, glancing up towards the partly cloudy sky.
EPISODE II PART II
"HA!" both fighters cried out before their blades clashed yet again. It had been two minutes since they first started their duel, and already the tension in the air was running high. However, some of the spectators weren't exactly enthralled by the battle.
"Huh…" Gray yawned loudly, catching Korra's attention as she glanced over at him skeptically.
"You're bored already?" she guessed, quite surprised with his behavior while he folded his arms behind his head.
"Well, yeah…" he answered honestly, barely batting a eye towards the fight, "All it is so far is just a sword duel…" he grumbled, glancing over at the fire dragon slayer, seeing the nervous expression on his face, "The only reason flame brain's so worried is because he's the prize," he mentioned, putting his arms down, placing his hands into his pockets. Having heard the remark, Natsu shot a glare towards the ice mage.
"Better watch it, ya pervy popsicle…" he muttered in a whisper so that he couldn't hear him.
"So anyways," Wendy began, catching the attentions of the others, "what exactly is that wind energy that Gingka uses?" she asked curiously.
"You mean his chakra?" Naruto inquired in reply, making her arch an eyebrow in confusion, as did Lucy.
"Chakra?" the older of the two girls questioned, quite befuddled.
"It's the energy that Gingka uses in those wind attacks," Ben chimed in, causing them to all bring their focus onto him, "It's kinda like an… aura that he covers his blade with," he told them as best he could.
"Whoa, that's pretty cool…" the pigtailed girl admitted, letting a small smile come across her lips.
"Heh," the jinchuriki chuckled, cracking his own grin, "I still can't believe he got the same kinda chakra style like me…" he pointed out, making the Fairy Tail members widen their eyes in surprise.
"The same as… you?" the celestial wizard inquired, completely confused as to what he was telling them. Suddenly, another sound of metal clashing caught their attentions as they turned to see the battle continuing between the two fighters. Their blades were intertwined once again before they both jumped back, staring each other down while in midair.
'He's definitely no ordinary warrior…' Erza inwardly noted, narrowing her eyes as she took a tight grip on her blade, 'I guess I'll have to resort to my requips,' she said to herself, enveloping herself in a golden light as her feet reached the ground. While Gingka landed down from afar, he crossed his arms over his face, closing his eyes as well in order to avoid being blinded by the brilliant luminosity. As soon as it dissipated, he looked out and gasped slightly to see her donning a cheetah printed outfit with a large collar around her neck and a tail hanging from the back of her shorts, both made of bushy fur. On both sides of her was a pair of large, cheetah-like ears, and she carried two swords that had elaborate hand guards similar to that of a rapier, shaped like a rose's thorns. The shinobi, the evo, and the Omnitrix bearer all found themselves blushing slightly with widened eyes.
"Uh… what is that?" the Avatar asked as she cringed slightly, unsure what to make of the strange getup the scarlet haired warrior was wearing.
"That's her requip magic," Carla answered, catching her attention as she glanced down at her, "It's best known as 'the Knight' for her case," she mentioned, looking back at her as she was getting into a ready stance, "The armor she's wearing right now is known as her Flight armor," she explained, gesturing toward it.
"It's… kinda hard to call that armor…" the ponytailed girl admitted with a skeptical look on her face, rubbing her chin with her right hand.
"More like a bathing suit if you ask me," the goggled teen joked, chuckling a little. However, he only received a groan in response from the South Pole native, who then elbowed him right in the chest with her left arm, making him grunt in pain slightly as he cringed.
"So what's that armor for?" Naruto asked, getting their attentions.
"The Flight armor lets Erza go really fast," Gray replied, crossing his arms over his chest, "I doubt Gingka'll even be able to blink before she attacks…" he added, causing the Team Omniverse members to blink in surprise. Meanwhile, the warrior female on the battlefield suddenly lunged out at her foe, making him gasp out of shock as he quickly crossed his blade over his chest, blocking a quick strike from her right sword.
'Fast…!' he uttered to himself, gnashing his teeth together while his blade shook. Meanwhile, her expression remained unchanged, still being as serious as ever. She threw out the sword in her left hand, which he took notice of, jumping away in order to dodge it. However, she dashed out at him again, enticing him to ready his weapon again, only to see her disappear in an instant. He gasped in shock, landing upon the ground as he looked around for his opponent frantically, sweating a little. Suddenly though, he could hear something coming towards him. 'On my left!' he inwardly realized, pivoting himself counter-clockwise at the exact moment his enemy reappeared, enabling him to block her crossed swords with his own.
"What?!" she exclaimed in disbelief, having her eyes tremble. A small smirk showed on the shaggy haired teen's lips as he was glad he reacted quickly. His foe gnashed her teeth together before dashing off again, attempting to attack him from above. However, his ears caught the sound of the unease in the wind, causing him to immediately swing his blade up, making it clash with hers in order to halt her strike.
'Can he… hear my movements?!' she guessed through thought with a stunned expression on her face. She could tell that he was putting in a lot of effort to stop her attacks, but was still managing to let a smile emerge on his face while he did so. One time after another, she tried to slash him, only to find her attempts blocked again and again.
"Whoa…" the ice mage said, stunned at how the beyblader was holding his ground so well, "Nobody's blocked Erza's attacks like that…" he noted, shaking his head.
"How can he even tell where she's coming from?!" Lucy questioned, blinking in confusion.
"Gingka's got good hearing," Ben responded, catching their attentions as they looked at him cross his arms over his chest, "He's always resorted to it when his eyes can't help," he mentioned, glancing over at the Fairy Tail members.
"That's incredible…" the sky dragon slayer uttered out of surprise while her eyes trembled. Natsu was stunned as well, having his mouth gape open, continuing to witness his new stand against his guild mate in a way he never thought possible. He kept on blocking her attacks despite her incredible speed, being able to hear her every move from any direction she came from.
"By the way…" the celestial wizard began, catching Naruto's attention as he looked over at her, "what did you mean by saying that he's got the same… 'chakra style' as you?" she asked, cocking a brow upward in confusion.
"Well, Gingka didn't always have that chakra…" he responded, glancing back at the battlefield, "In fact, it's kinda something that comes from my universe…" he mentioned, causing the guild members around him to widen their eyes in shock.
"From… your universe?" Happy repeated with a tilted head of befuddlement.
"Remember when we said Gingka's pretty adaptable?" Ben questioned, chiming into the conversation, making them all nod, "Well, that's not just his hearing and fighting you see gettin' better…" he told them while the sound of swords clashing echoed again, "Ever since he knew how to use that chakra of his," he kept going, "he's been getting all the more stronger…" he said, chuckling a little, "And that's not even his trump card," he added, making mages and exceeds all gasp in surprise.
"Ergh!" Erza grunted as she jumped back, frustrated that her speedy attacks weren't appearing to do anything to her opponent. All that appeared to change was the amount of sweat covering their bodies as they had fought for quite a while.
'Looks like I can't attack him in any of his blind spots…' she noted to herself, narrowing her eyes onto her foe as she landed on the ground, 'He'll be able to hear if I'm coming,' she mentioned inwardly, standing up tall as she took a deep breath of air, 'So I'll try for another approach…' she stated through thought, suddenly enveloping herself in same golden light as before.
"Requip!" she exclaimed as the luminosity shined brightly. Once it dissipated, it revealed donning a new set of armor, being black in color, sporting some silver trimming. A distinctive feature of the armor was its pair of wings, which were reminiscent of those of a dragon or a bat. Around her neck was a neck guard decorated by several gems, and her long scarlet hair was tied up in a high ponytail, with two bangs framing her face. Her large shoulder pads, each composed of two silver-edged plates one over the other, sported silver crosses on them, too, and flanked the high collar, which had a reminiscent shape of a dress. The silver-edged breastplate revealed a fair amount of her cleavage and belly, with plates flanking her hips and reaching down to her very large waist guard, composed of very long, silver-edged plates shaped like feathers and decorated by silver crosses. The waist guard left the front of her body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark purple indument. The slim gauntlets she had came equipped with prominent protection for her hands, each sporting silver patterns. On top of that, the plates guarding her legs were sliver-edged on her thighs and knees, but pitch black dark on her metal greaves. A silver blade appeared in right hand as she looked out at her enemy, who was slightly surprised to see her in another armor. However, he retained his focus as he was in a ready stance. Suddenly, the one known as Titania lunged out at him in an instant, swinging her sword back.
"Uh oh," Korra uttered worriedly, "What's that armor called?" she asked, turning towards the others.
"Black Wing armor," the blue furred cat answered, "It lets her fly and makes her stronger," he pointed out, making the Avatar grimace slightly in surprise.
"Moon Flash!" the scarlet haired female suddenly cried out, rushing past her opponent as she slashed at him in a cross-shaped pattern, landing several feet behind him. Without warning, he moved back about a dozen feet as his sword was crossed over his face, grazing through the earth he was upon. Once he stopped, his widened eyes glanced back at the requip wizard, who had a slight smile upon her lips.
"Okay…" Rex said as a drop of nervous sweat rolled down from the side of his head, "That's… not good…" he bluntly noted, cringing in fright for his teammate. Meanwhile, the other Fairy Tail members watched on with close eyes, stunned at how the bout was turning out.
"Heh," Gajeel chuckled, folding his arms over his chest, "Not many who can challenge Erza an' get away with it…" he pointed out, letting a grin show on his face.
"This Gingka character though…" Juvia began, clasping her hands together before herself, "he's quite strong to have fought against her for this long," she admitted, taking a quick glance towards the Team Omniverse members, seeing her beloved chatting with the South Pole native about the battle. Subconsciously, the water mage cracked her knuckles in rage, letting an ominous aura envelop her, causing those around her to back away out of fright.
"Hm…" Makarov uttered as he viewed the battle continue, with the beyblader letting out a loud battle cry while he turned around to lunge at his foe, who did the same.
"Master?" Mirajane chimed in, catching his attention as he glanced over at her, "Do you think Gingka and the others might really wanna help us?" she questioned curiously, causing him to close his eyes in thought.
"I don't think I'm obliged to say for the moment…" he replied after a few seconds, "However, I know one thing," he stated, looking over at the two fighters as their swords intertwined again, "The drive those two have is absolutely real," he said, narrowing his eyes onto them.

"Tornado Slash!" the shaggy haired teen yelled, swinging his weapon out in midair while a wind-like aura covered it.
"Moon Flash!" his foe cried out, slashing toward him again in a cross-shaped pattern. Their blades clashed once more, with a burst of wind to follow, blowing them both back. The male of the two landed on the ground while the female was still in the air, soaring down towards him with a fierce expression on her face. Reacting quickly, the Team Omniverse member placed both hands upon the hilt of his sword, aiming it towards his opponent as it became enveloped in another tornado-like energy.
"Wind Style…" he began, reeling his arms back, "Tornado Pierce!" he bellowed, pushing his blade forward, causing the energy around it to suddenly shoot up at Erza, who widened her eyes in surprise. She crossed her arms over her face before the attack struck, blowing her back quite a bit in midair.
"Atta' boy, Gingka!" Korra cheered, pumping her right fist excitedly. Her comrades were glad as well, seeing that their teammate wasn't planning on giving in so easily. The Fairy Tail members were somewhat impressed by the battle, too, since they barely saw the S-class wizard get into a situation where she was at a disadvantage. She clenched her teeth together in frustration while she finished enduring the burst of wind, soaring down towards the ground.
'If he's strong enough to handle the Black Wing armor,' she inwardly began, 'then I'll have to requip into something he can't handle…' she noted to herself before her form became shrouded by a brilliant golden light. Just as she landed, it dissipated to reveal her adorning an armor that was gold and light bluish in color. Its breastplate was lined with gold trimmings, and had thin plates extending upwards to surround her neck. Upon her head, she bore a yellow band with two ribbons upon it, while her hair had become stylized into a long, braided ponytail. To top it off, in her right hand she carried a long, single spear, which also had a very large blade and a decorated circle shaped like a shield attached to the shaft.
"Okay, so what's that one?" the Avatar questioned, blinking in surprise.
"Her Lightning Empress armor," Gray answered, folding his arms across his now bare chest, "She can use lightning magic with it," he mentioned, narrowing his eyes onto the battlefield while he hadn't realized that he subconsciously took off his shirts.
"Lightning?" Naruto uttered out of surprise, raising an eyebrow for a moment before letting off a grin, "Bad move…" he commented, causing Lucy to glance at him in shock. All of a sudden, a blue light began to show upon the tip of the scarlet haired girl's armament before it fired off a beam of electricity, which was heading straight for her foe. He stood his ground with the same serious expression upon his face, swinging his blade out to counter the attack as sparks flew all across the battlefield. Everyone watched in amazement as he gritted his teeth, utilizing his sword to literally slice through the beam, making it dissipate. Erza gasped in surprise for a moment while the eyes of the spectators widened, stunned at how the attack was easily foiled. However, the female warrior regained her composure, letting out a battle cry as she spun her weapon around, throwing it out to launch a volley of lightning bolts at her enemy. Prepping himself into a ready stance, the beyblader smirked, spinning his sword around to deflect and stop each beam of electricity.
"H-How is he doing that?!" the celestial mage exclaimed with a stutter, blinking rapidly in confusion.
"It's his chakra," the jinchuriki responded, catching her attention, "Back in my world, wind beats lightning," he explained as a grin came across his lips, "If Erza thinks she can take him on with lightning," he continued, "she's dead wrong," he stated, much to the blonde haired girl's astonishment. All of a sudden, Gingka slashed through all of the lightning bolts with his blade, making his opponent gasp in absolute disbelief.
"Tornado Slice!" he exclaimed, swinging his sword out, making a crescent-shaped wave of energy shoot out from it, heading straight for the requip user. Before she could even do anything, she was struck, tumbling across the dirt with a yelp before she regained her footing, grazing through the earth. She glared out at him angrily before enveloping herself in a brilliant, golden light again. Once it dissipated, it revealed her donning an armor that was primarily dark red in color but also sported orange and black parts, with the former resembling flames while the latter was shaped like the limbs of a dragon. Her hair was tied into a pair of long pigtails as she carried a long, flaming sword in her right hand.
"That's-"
"Wait, let me guess," Rex chimed in, interjecting Happy's sentence, "Flame Empress armor?" he inquired cleverly. The onyx haired teen smirked, glancing over at him.
"Yep," he answered, looking back towards the battlefield. The two fighters lunged out at each other, letting out battle cries as their respective energies enveloped their blades. They clashed, suddenly causing a gigantic torrent of flames to spout up into the sky, much to the shock of the spectators below as they witnessed it.
"Whoa!" Levy exclaimed with widened eyes.
"Incredible…" Lily uttered out of shock, while a drop of nervous sweat rolled down from the side of his head. The fire dragon slayer watched the flames as a stunned expression on his face, remembering how practically the same thing had happened when he had fought the shaggy haired teen himself. Meanwhile, his current enemy was clenching her teeth in frustration, putting all of her effort into pushing him back. He was doing the same, gripping the hilt of his weapon with both of his hands.
"Wind Style…" he started to say, letting the tornado-like energy build up upon his blade, "Tornado Burst!" he yelled, suddenly making a burst of wind fly out from it, also causing an explosion. Both he and Erza cried out in agony as they were blown back by the blast, tumbling across the ground they landed on before coming to a stop. The smoke that followed blew away almost immediately, revealing the two fighters getting themselves back on their feet, with scrapes apparent on their arms and faces.
"Oh man…" Wendy uttered in surprise, clasping her hands together before herself in a rather frightened manner at the insane power both her guild mate and her new friend were displaying. They both breathed heavily while staring out at each other, letting the wind breeze by, causing their hair to sway within it.
'So his wind attacks can counter lightning and increase the power of fire…' the requip wizard noted through thought, narrowing her eyes onto her foe, 'And he's been able to handle FOUR of my armors already,' she added to herself, closing her eyes to try and think more clearly, 'I need to take a direct approach with my attacks,' she told herself, 'but what armor's strong enough to at least get one in?' she questioned inwardly. After a moment to ponder the situation, she opened her eyes, letting a grin come across her lips. 'That's it,' she realized, suddenly enveloping herself in a golden light once again, making her foe cover his eyes to avoid being blinded. When it dissipated, he looked out to see her adorning a new set of armor that seemed to be made of silver metal. The upper part of it consisted of a small breastplate that was composed of feather-shaped plates pointing upwards with a large metal flower on the front, which extended along her hips. Including that, her biceps were covered by metal straps and her very large plated gauntlets sported feather-shaped plates at the edges. Furthermore, her waist was circled by large, decorated plates, reminiscent of feathers that lied on a long skirt. She wore a pair of plated boots which were partially hidden under her skirt, each sporting metal ornaments shaped like wings. Also, she wore a neck guard made of feather-like plates and a tiara with prominent metal wings. Along with that, she sported two pairs of large metal wings which adorned her back, composed of metal feathers which were longer and larger at the edges. On top of all that, she carried a pair of swords in her hands, looking out at her foe with a fierce expression in her eyes. Gingka could feel a drop of nervous sweat roll down from the side of his head as he viewed her in the new outfit, understanding that she was getting really serious.
"Okay, not makin' any guesses this time…" the goggled teen muttered from the sidelines with a grimace, turning towards the others, "What armor is that?" he asked, gesturing towards it.
"Her Heaven's Wheel armor…" Carla answered, crossing her paws over her chest as she narrowed her eyes, "If I had to guess," she continued, looking out at the battlefield, "I'd say your friend's in pretty big trouble…" she confessed, trembling slightly. Natsu closed his hands into fists upon hearing her words, clenching his teeth together. The scarlet haired female lunged out towards him in an instant, making her foe gasp as he quickly crossed his sword before himself, blocking her attack with her right blade while a burst of wind followed. The beyblader found his weapon shake as it was at a deadlock with hers, causing him to cringe slightly.
'She's not messing around!' he inwardly realized, sweating a little.
"I won't let you take Natsu," she suddenly stated, making him blink in surprise. She then jumped back, floating up in midair while the beyblader readied himself for her next move. However, he gasped to see several swords appear around her form, orbiting her speedily.
"What the hell?!" Naruto exclaimed in shock as he and the other Team Omniverse members were absolutely stunned.
"Dance, my blades!" Erza beckoned, swinging her arms back as the weapons around her spun around even more rapidly, "Circle Sword!" she bellowed, throwing her arms out to their respective sides, causing the swords to fly out towards the shaggy haired teen in a disc formation. He widened his eyes in absolute shock, readying his own armament for the attack. As it passed by, he managed to defend himself from the brunt of it, but could still feel the sleeves of jacket rip, along with the sense of getting cut at his right shoulder.
"AGH!" he screamed in pain, keeling over slightly as he grabbed at it with his left hand, while still holding his sword in his right. His enemy grinned, knowing that she had the advantage for the moment. Without warning, several more swords appeared above her in flashes of light, much to the absolute shock of the multiversal guests, as their collective expressions portrayed complete disbelief.
"Uh oh," Gray uttered in realization, widening his eyes. Everyone else was stunned as they knew what the requip user was about to do with her summoned weapons, but understood that her foe did not while he clenched his teeth together in frustration.
"Gingka, get outta there!" the fire dragon slayer suddenly cried out, catching his attention as he glanced over at him.
"Too late," the requip user said, dashing down towards her opponent as he looked back at her with a frightened expression, "Scattered Petals!" she exclaimed while she sliced past him with the blades in her hand. He cringed in agony, stumbling back a few steps. All of a sudden, he saw the summoned blades raining down onto him, making him gasp and then yell as they struck, causing a cloud of dust to build up while they continued to hit him.
"Gingka!" Ben exclaimed as he and the others were beyond shocked. Everyone else from Fairy Tail watched on, waiting for the veil to dissipate while Erza glanced back at it.
"I'll admit, you gave me a good battle," she confessed before turning away, starting to walk off, "but it's over," she stated, about to leave, "Natsu won't join your team," she told him. All of a sudden, a bright blue streak of light raced by her, shattering the left wing of her armor into pieces, much to her surprise as she saw the bits of metal from it fall to the ground.
"What the?!" Gray exclaimed, absolutely shocked, as were his fellow guild mates. The Team Omniverse members blinked in surprise, but then smiled, realizing what had just happened. Glancing back at the cloud of dirt, the scarlet haired female widened her eyes in disbelief to see that as it dissipated, the beyblader was still standing with most of his clothes in shreds, holding his beylauncher in his left hand while blood dripped from the cuts on his arms and face. However, a smile came across his lips as he stared out at the one known as Titania.
"I'm not done just yet, Scarlet," he declared, tightening the grip he had on his sword while placing his launcher back on his belt.

"Holy crap…" the ice mage uttered in complete astonishment as he and his guild mates had just seen the shaggy haired teen destroy a part of the S-class wizard's armor.
"What did he just… do?" the celestial wizard questioned, shaking a little out of fright as to how the guest from another universe had endured some of the most violent attacks from the requip user.
"He brought out his trump card," the Omnitrix bearer answered, catching their attentions as he chuckled a little.
"Trump… card?" Wendy questioned, tilting her head to the side in confusion.
"Hey, look over there!" Happy cried out, using his right paw gesture towards something on the battlefield. They all glanced over to see that behind Erza, there was a silver and blue colored spinning top spiraling rapidly in place. It took a moment for the revelation to sink in for the Fairy Tail members as they all blinked with blank expressions on their faces.
"HUH?!" they all exclaimed simultaneously, dumbfounded by the fact that the one known as Titania had her armor shattered by none other than the object that was just behind her. She looked back at it skeptically before turning to face her opponent once more, seeing his grin fade into a serious expression as he readied his blade.
"That… THING was his trump card?!" Lucy screamed towards the others, pointing at it with a suspicious look on her face.
"Is," Naruto corrected, "Like we said, Gingka wasn't always a Wind Style user," he mentioned, crossing his arms over his chest, "He's what you call a beyblader," he told them, glancing over towards the top that was spinning upon the ground, "And that right there," he continued, gesturing towards it with his right index finger, "is his beyblade, Samurai Pegasus," he stated, making them all stare at it in wonder.
"Wow," the blonde haired girl uttered out of surprise.
"Man…" Macao grumbled from afar, scratching the side of his head, "I didn't think our Erza'd get pushed to point where her armor got broken," he confessed, looking out at the battlefield.
"Yeah…" Wakaba agreed, taking his cigarette out of his mouth to let out a puff of smoke.
"I like that redhead though," Gajeel confessed, grinning as he folded his arms over his chest, "There ain't many punks who can take on Erza and last this long," he pointed out, glancing at Levy as she blinked in surprise.
"He's certainly something else," Lily admitted, closing his eyes in order to think. The requip wizard then saw the beyblade zoom back towards its master, spinning beside him.
'So he has that, too…' she inwardly noted, narrowing her eyes onto the object and its user, 'Even if it did manage to damage my armor, it can only spin for so long,' she added through thought, taking a tight grip on the swords she had in hand, 'All I need to do is take him down as soon as possible, and endure his attacks,' she explained to herself, letting a smile grace her lips, 'And I know just what to do…' she stated inwardly, enveloping herself in a brilliant, golden light. Once it dissipated, it revealed her adorning her Flame Empress armor, aiming her red, fiery sword towards her foe.
"Heh," he chuckled, "I thought you'd be trying that armor before after what happened the last time…" he confessed, preparing himself.
"I don't know what your 'toy' is capable of," she said, letting her expression become serious, "but I'll be sure to defeat it, and you," she declared, rushing towards him.
"Bring it!" Gingka retorted, charging forward, "Let's go, Pegasus!" he beckoned, causing his beyblade to dash out with him. The two human warriors had their swords collide, causing a giant plume of flames to billow up into the sky again. Taking notice of the spinning top jumping towards her, the scarlet haired female quickly stepped back, using her blade to knock it away. "Pegasus!" its master cried out, seeing it bounce across the ground before halting, still spiraling rapidly. He then rushed out at her as he let out a battle cry, using his weapon to clash with hers. Torrents of fire and flames shot out across the area as the battle continued, with everyone watching on in absolute awe. Every few moments, the silver beyblade jumped in, being at a deadlock with Erza's weapon for a couple of seconds before getting forced back, hopping across the earth.
"Take this!" she exclaimed, swinging her fiery sword out at her opponent fiercely. He countered it with his own, creating a stalemate as they glared at each other, enveloping themselves in the large plume of fire. Everyone closed their eyes to avoid being blinded by the brightness of the light, while the two fighters continued to clash.
"Pegasus!" the shaggy haired teen yelled, causing his beyblade to spiral towards him and his opponent. He was starting to get pushed back by her, clenching his teeth together as he put in all of his available effort to keep her at bay. "Ergh!" he grunted, seeing the sparks fly from the intertwining point of their blades. "Special Move!" he yelled as the top stopped just between him and the requip user, causing the latter to gasp in surprise. "Samurai Tornado!" he bellowed loudly. All of a sudden, a glowing, bluish energy enveloped the beyblade, followed by a large tornado that blew both its master and his enemy back in loud yelps, with the former somersaulting in midair before landing safely upon the ground, keeling over slightly while the latter tumbled across the dirt. She came to a stop, lying on her stomach before she started to push herself up growling angrily. Her foe smirked as his top span back over to him, spiraling beside him while he stood up fully.
"No way…" Gray uttered in disbelief, blinking rapidly, "Erza's… losing?" he inquired, still completely stunned.
"It's definitely a surprise…" Carla confessed, "After seeing this battle go on as long as it has," she kept going, "I wouldn't be surprised if they both went down…" she admitted, narrowing her eyes onto them.
"You said it…" Wendy agreed, having a worried expression upon her face, "I just hope Erza finds a way to handle that beyblade Gingka's using…" she pointed out, clasping her hands together before herself in a worried manner.
"Ergh…" the requip wizard grunted, getting up onto her knees as she grimaced in agony, noticing the several cuts and bruises on her body.
"Come on, Gingka!" Naruto cheered loudly, pumping his right fist into the air.
"Finish her off!" Rex called out while his teammate all made sounds of merriments as well. Upon hearing them, the S-class wizard stood up fully, staring her opponent down seriously while his expression changed in the same manner. The grip on the hilt of her sword tightened as it shook, with her ire rising while she was very frustrated.
'I can't lose like this…' she told herself, closing her left hand into a clenched fist, 'His spirit may be strong, but I still have the will to win!' she inwardly declared, squatting down while a small blush came across her cheeks, 'I definitely didn't want to use THAT armor for this fight…' she confessed through thought as a nervous drop of sweat rolled down the side of her head, 'but I think it's the only thing that'll distract him long enough for me to finish him off," she said to herself, leaping up into the air. She then became shrouded in the brilliant, golden light once again, causing her foe to squint in order to avoid being blinded by its brightness.
"Another armor?" Korra questioned, covering her eyes with her right arm.
"Guess she's runnin' outta options," the ice mage inquired as watched on.
"Well, at any rate," Ben started to say, "she's not gonna-" He immediately halted his sentence the moment he saw the luminosity around dissipate, revealing her form. Everyone on the sidelines instantly widened their eyes in absolute shock, with the men all blushing madly while the girls all paled.
"What the hell?!" the Avatar exclaimed while her mouth gaped open. The requip user was wearing a daring maid outfit that was composed of a long, white apron tied around her neck and back as it worn over her bare chest. It revealed much of her breasts' sides, much to the delight of some of the male members in the audience. She also bore a pair of long, fishnet stockings that reached up to the middle of her thighs, a pair of pink panties that exposed much of her buttocks, and a maid's hat. Ribbons were tied around her arms and sported heart-shaped elbow guards. In her right hand was a single sword with the words 'Come on Boy' emblazoned on the blade. Her expression changed into a rather seductive looking smirk as she glanced down at her opponent.
"Holy…!" Naruto uttered, letting a trickle of blood come out of his nose before he covered it with his right hand. The Omnitrix bearer and evo both had their faces flush a bright red before managing to look away. The South Pole native covered her eyes with her right hand, and used her left to prevent the sky dragon slayer from seeing the rather revealing outfit. Gray actually fell backwards and began twitching from the sight of his feared comrade in the outfit she bore upon herself.
"Wh-Wh-What is that?!" Lucy screamed, completely stunned as her skin was turning pale.
"That's what we should be asking you!" Korra retorted in reply. A few wolf whistles were heard from the crowd, and even Makarov was drooling upon viewing the scarlet haired female in her daring form.
'Looks like it's working for everyone else…' she noted to herself, grinning, 'I never thought I'd have to resort to the Seduction armor,' she confessed while unbeknownst to her, the shaggy haired teen had tossed his blade into his left hand, squatting down with an angered look in his eyes, 'but there's no way he won't be-' Her thoughts suddenly halted as she saw him leap up towards her, reeling his right arm back while he closed his hand into a fist.
"QUIT SCREWING AROUND WITH ME!" he bellowed, much to her surprise as she was struck right in the face by his extremity, being sent careening towards the ground. The sight of her getting punched was locked on by Natsu's eyes, as his expression changed from embarrassment to shock. The looks on the faces of everyone else were the same as well, stunned as to how Gingka wasn't attracted by Erza's sexy form and his sudden attack. While he landed safely back upon the ground, his foe hit the earth hard, tumbling across it before coming to a stop. She pushed herself back up, glaring out at her foe with clenched teeth of rage. He merely tossed his weapon back into his right hand, pointing it at her while a serious stare was upon his face.
"If that's the case…" she began, enveloping herself in a golden light once more, catching the attentions of her guild mates and the Team Omniverse members. Once the luminosity dissipated, it revealed the requip user adorning a pair of red pants with orange flames at the bottom, outlined in black as they reached up to her knees, and a long strip of cloth wrapped around her breasts. Her hair was tied back into a long ponytail with a couple of bangs hanging freely from the sides of her temples. Along with that, she had a pair of long swords in her hands, gripping them tightly. "I'll cut you down before you can strike again…" she declared eerily, dashing out towards her enemy while she let out a loud yell. He did the same as well, having his beyblade follow him as the battle had reached it's climactic point.

"HAH!" both warriors yelled as their blades clashed, making sparks fly as they struck each other again and again. The scarlet haired female swung the weapon in her right hand out at her opponent, who blocked with his own, causing a burst of wind to echo throughout the area. Everyone on the sidelines was admittedly stunned at how the two were still managing to go at it, despite all of the attacks they had used upon each other. The requip wizard then threw out the blade in her left hand, about to slash her foe until suddenly, his spinning top hopped in, stopping her armament completely while sparks flew everywhere. After a moment of deadlock, they jumped away from each other, landing on the ground safely, being several yards apart.
"Wind Style…" the shaggy haired teen started to say while his weapon became cloaked by a vortex-like energy, "Tornado Sword!" he exclaimed, gripping its hilt with both hands as he readied himself. In an instant, he lunged out at his foe, letting out a battle cry as he swung his blade at her. However, to his surprise, she managed to counter it with both of her swords, making him gasp in shock as wind rushed throughout the area.
"Whoa…" Rex uttered out of disbelief, shaking his head to try and recompose himself.
"Now that Erza's no longer requipping into armors," Carla began, crossing her paws over her chest, "she's putting all of her strength into her swords…" she noted, narrowing her eyes onto the battlefield.
"She's got the upper hand now…" Gray pointed out, sitting up from the ground, not yet having realized that he had subconsciously removed his pants from his legs. Meanwhile, the fire dragon slayer closed his hands into fists, clenching his teeth in frustration.
"Yield!" the scarlet haired female demanded as she and her opponent were continuing to clash blades, with sparks flying everywhere, "You're no match for me now!" she stated fiercely, starting to push him back as his feet grazed into the earth, making him cringe while he gritted his teeth.
"You… forgot…" he muttered in between breaths of air, making her blink in confusion, "…I'm not fighting alone!" he yelled, causing her to widen her eyes, "Pegasus!" he called out. All of a sudden, his spinning top hopped in and broke the stalemate between their blades with sparks to follow. The beyblader then threw his right arm back over his head, having a large tornado form upon it, much to the shock of everyone on the sidelines, including his enemy.
"This must be your last move," she realized, rushing out at him as she prepared her swords.
"Gingka!" Natsu cried out, catching the attention of the shaggy haired teen as he glanced over at him, "You can do it!" he cheered loudly, "Win this fight and get me on yer team!" he screamed, making the Team Omniverse members smile, along with their teammate who was on the battlefield.
"Hurricane…" he began, starting to swing his sword forward while his foe crossed hers over her face, "…SMASH!" he bellowed, throwing it down onto her in an instant, causing a gigantic explosion of dust and wind to envelop the entire area. Some hollers came from the sidelines as the spectators tried to endure the strong breeze of dirt blowing by them as a veil of dust loomed overhead. Two objects suddenly flung themselves out from the blast, both being swords as they pierced into the ground. The first was one of Erza's blades, but the second was actually Gingka's, as they had landed near each other.
"Oh no…" the jinchuriki uttered in shock, having his eyes widen as the dust started to settle. Everyone opened their own eyes, gasping in surprise to see the beyblader drop down onto his knees, having blood drip from the apparent cuts on his arms, legs, and head. Meanwhile, his opponent was still standing, having her lone weapon in hand.
"Gingka…" the pink haired teen said out of disbelief, turning his head away in frustration.
"Do you yield now?" Erza asked as she held her single sword so that the tip of its blade was pointed directly at her foe's forehead. His breathing was heavy as the others watched on with expressions of disbelief, unable to fathom how such a battle could have lasted this long.
"You're right…" he muttered in between breaths, catching the requip mage's attention as her eyes narrowed in confusion, "My chakra's all gone… I'm on my damn knees… I can barely move…" he listed off, with his teammates all shocked by the apparent result, "But that last attack…" he continued as the one called Titania readied her weapon, "…wasn't for you…" he stated with a grin.
"What?" his foe asked in surprise, widening her eyes in shock.
"LOOK!" Wendy suddenly exclaimed, pointing towards the sky. Everyone glanced up and gasped, seeing a blue streak of light zooming straight down towards the two fighters.
"Wait a sec…" Ben began to realize as he squinted, trying to get a better view of what appeared to be within the light.
"It's Pegasus!" Naruto cried out, much to the shock of those around him, especially the scarlet haired female on the battlefield.
'Of course…' she inwardly realized, 'That last attack was meant to propel that spinning top and give it even more speed!' she noted to herself as it was coming down.
"This is my guarantee to beat you, Scarlet," Gingka told her, getting her attention as he slowly got up to his feet while his bruised and cut body shook, much to her disbelief, "Pegasus!" he yelled out as the beyblade was zooming down at a tremendous velocity, "GALAXY NOVA!" he declared loudly. The brightness of the light shrouding the bey increased as the image of the mystical creature dressed in armor appeared in the eyes of Erza, who was beyond amazed. However, her composure remained as she re-readied her sword, arching it towards the oncoming projectile.
"Well, let us see whose spirit is stronger!" she exclaimed, swinging her blade, having it connect with the beyblade, causing sparks to fly wildly as a huge burst of wind raced by, causing practically everyone to flinch as it blew past them, causing leaves to immediately blow off of trees. A few more moments passed as it appeared the requip mage and the spinning top were at a stalemate, with sparks still flying everywhere. Suddenly, her sword began to crack, catching her attention as she saw it breaking apart into pieces.
'W-What?!' she exclaimed inwardly out of disbelief. She had no time to react as the bey then rushed by her left shoulder, slashing straight past it before landing on the ground, still spinning. She cried out in pain before falling backwards to the ground, dropping the hilt of her shattered weapon. 'Such a powerful spirit…' she thought while her body was about to crash into the ground, 'He really believes in Natsu… doesn't he?' she asked herself before hitting the surface on her back, causing a bit of dust to build up before it dissipated. Everyone looked on with petrified, stunned expressions plastered on their faces, having witnessed Titania fall to a person that was a stranger to most. Samurai Pegasus than dashed back towards its master, jumping into his right hand, allowing him to catch it as steam emerged from his extremity after it finally stopped spinning. The look of most disbelief at the scene was the on the face of the fire dragon slayer, who had his eyes trembling.
"He… won…" he uttered, absolutely shocked. Gingka then raised his right hand into the air, showing off his beyblade as it barely took a scratch from the bout, still in one piece, and symbolizing his victory.
"Woohoo!" Korra cheered as she jumped, "All right, Gingka!" she yelled, catching his attention as he glanced over and smiled to see his teammates applauding his victory. Even the pink haired teen let a grin show upon his lips, struggling to contain his excitement as he trembled.
"YYYEEAAHH!" he roared into the sky, much to the shock of his guild mates as they saw him spouting flames from his mouth. The Team Omniverse members were surprised as well, but merely chuckled, knowing that he was glad that his new friend had won the battle. On the field, he looked over at his former foe, walking over to her as she started to sit up, placing his beyblade back into its pouch. Makarov started to trot over to them with Mirajane, Juvia, and Gajeel, along with the others from the other side of the field.
"Ergh…" the requip wizard grunted, clenching her teeth together in agony. She then looked up and blinked in surprise to see the beyblader reach his right hand out to her, offering to pick her up. For a moment, she was somewhat unsure of taking it as she stuck her hand out before pulling it back slightly, but then grabbed her former opponent's extremity, allowing him to pull her up from the ground.
"Thanks for the fight," he said out of gratitude, giving her a bright smile while the others approached them, "You're really strong," he complimented, chuckling a little. The scarlet haired female was slightly astonished by his words, considering how angry he was with her during their battle. However, she disregarded it, grinning as well.
"So are you," she confessed as a slight blush graced her cheeks. Everyone smiled at their interaction, glad to see that things appeared to have been resolved between the two. Suddenly though, Erza whapped Gingka on the back of the head with her left hand, stunning everyone around them.
"OW!" he yelped in pain, grabbing at his head with both of his hands, relinquishing his right one from Titania's grip, as she had an angered expression on her face.
"But how dare you strike a woman in a maiden's outfit!" she yelled, causing him to perk up in surprise.
"How dare I?!" he questioned clenching his fists at their respective sides as he brought his arms down, having a tick mark appearing upon his forehead, "You're the one who put on that… 'armor'!" he shouted, making her glare angrily at him.
"That was a tactical strategy!" she claimed, blushing a bright red.
"Yeah, and it didn't work!" the beyblader mocked, getting right into her face. Everyone watched worriedly for a moment as they argued with each other, but then started laughing, realizing that it was only the aftermath of the battle. Natsu grinned brightly as he chuckled, looking out at the two redheads.
'Thanks, Gingka,' he said inwardly out of gratitude, glancing up at the sky, where the sun shined brightly overhead.
END
And Gingka is the victor! But of course, Erza has to at least get one good jab at him for punching her in that Seduction armor of hers. Anyways, with the chapter over, it's time to delve back into our ever so famous Q&A session! Enjoy!
Q&A
SpiritReaper42: Ash, was being burnt by your Charizard not bother you anymore, considering that you two were able to work together?
Ash: Yeah, it doesn't bother me. If anything, it just proves that we have a strong relationship!
Pikachu: *drop of sweat rolls down his head* Pika…
SpiritReaper42: Everyone, what are your reactions to Mewtwo VS Frieza in a One Minute Melee and Lucario VS Renamon in a One Minute Melee?
Natsu: Whoa!
Ben: Wow. Talk about a mismatch…
Naruto: Mewtwo barely stood a chance…
Ash: Yeah… *shudders a little*
Mirajane: And as for the other battle…
Erza: That was quite impressive.
Elfman: Yeah! Those guys are real men!
Lisanna: I'm not sure if both of them are men though…
Gingka: Heh. Cool.
SpiritReaper42: Erza, when it comes to armor, what would camouflage be like for you? Like pretend if you did have that kind of armor.
Erza: Camouflage would be useful for stealth missions. I'd have mine be capable of blending into certain areas like forests or caves…
Rook: That is definitely useful.
Gingka: Maybe we could come up with something like that someday.
SpiritReaper42: Pikachu, is there every a chance we can see you Mega Evolve in the near future? Or are you just getting stronger than that since you beat a Mega Lucario?
Pikachu: Pika, pika pi… *rubs back of his head sheepishly*
Ash: Pikachu can't really Mega Evolve unless he evolved into Raichu… But he's definitely getting stronger!
Pikachu: Pika! *nods*
SpiritReaper42: Lisanna, which is your favorite Animal Soul?
Lisanna: Hey, a question for me! *giggles happily* I'd have to say my favorite Animal Soul would probably be my cat form. *transforms into it* It's the one I'm most used to, after all!
Mirajane: *smiles in agreement*
SpiritReaper42: Ben, did you really fight Eon? Or was that just a movie?
Ben: Yeah, I've fought Eon once or twice. Including that time in "Friendship Games: The Omni Force Crossover".
Rook: He's certainly been quite a nuisance to us…
Ben: Totally…
SpiritReaper42: Natsu, if you were using your flames against the enemy, what if the enemy turns that fire into its own and shoots it back at you? Would you absorb that?
Natsu: Duh! 'Course I would!
Lucy: Wouldn't that just make for a back and forth fight?
Happy: Aye… Once you absorb that fire and send it back, they'll send it right back to you again…
Natsu: Then I'll hit 'em before they can do it!
Lucy: *drop of sweat rolls down the side of her head* Of course you would…
SpiritReaper42: Naruto, did you truly give up on finding out what Kakashi's real face looks like?
Naruto: *crosses arms* Pretty much… Even his face on the Hokage Monument's covered up…
Hinata: *places right index finger on her chin in thought* It does bring up a few questions though…
Naruto: Yeah… *closes eyes in thought* Aw, forget it! I'd never give up on finding out about Kakashi Sensei's real face!
Hinata: *giggles*
SpiritReaper42: Rex, who was the most annoying person you had go through in your world?
Rex: Dunno, man. There's Van Kleiss, the Pack, the Consortium… If I had to pack, I'd the say the Consortium was the worst to go through. *points at his head* I had to risk losing my memory to beat them!
Gajeel: Losin' yer memory? Yikes…
Rex: Tell me about it…
SpiritReaper42: Mirajane, before you start singing with Ash, I got one question. Are you prepared for anything you are only aware of?
Mirajane: Of course! There's nothing we can't handle together, right Ash?
Ash: *blushes* R-Right!
Pikachu: *sighs* Pika…
SpiritReaper42: Rook, how did it feel to cast a spell in spite of doing it one time?
Rook: Quite exhilarating actually. Though it was only due to the fact that I was close to the Alpha Rune at the time.
Ben: Gotta admit, I was a little jealous.
SpiritReaper42: Juvia, what was your favorite memory regarding your relationship with Gray?
Juvia: My favorite memory would have to be when we first met at Phantom Lord. *cups cheeks with her hands while blushing* It was how I realized we were destined to be….
Gray: *cringes slightly* Er… not really… But I think it really made her happy that I gave her a chance. Plus, it's how she ended up joining Fairy Tail in the first place.
Juvia: *has hearts appear in her eyes* Oh, my love!
SpiritReaper42: Gray, what's that behind you?
Gray: *grimaces slightly* That better not be what I think it is… *turns around, only to see Juvia and Korra chatting away* Oh, phew…
SpiritReaper42: Nah, I'm just kidding. Anyway, besides fighting, is there anything you can do with your ice magic? For your own entertainment I mean. By the way that habit of yours doesn't always get you anywhere in life, doesn't it?
Gray: Hm… Maybe a few things that I can't name off the top of my head… And yeah, that habit doesn't get me anywhere.
Korra: You mean like now?
Gray: Huh? *looks down and gasps to see that his pants and shirts are gone* CRAP! *fumbles around for his clothes*
SpiritReaper42: Cana, do you really have a problem with your drinking?
Cana: *hiccups* I don't really see a problem…
Ben: *pinches bridge of his nose with his fingers* Well, it's kinda gross.
Cana: Aw, relax hero. *wraps left arm around him* You oughta' try one…
Ben: *blushes* N-No thanks…
TerrorKing10: Ben, do you ever miss being able to go ultimate back when you had the Ultimatrix?
Ben: Absolutely. The ultimates were definitely useful when they counted.
Rook: It does make one wonder why Azmuth didn't implement them into your new Omnitrix…
Ben: Yeah… Remind to try and set up a chat with him later…
TerrorKing10: Cana, how many boys got hospitalized because of your dad?
Cana: Well, that deadbeat wasn't around a lot of the time, so not really any guy got hurt by him…
Ben: Thank goodness.
Cana: *wraps arms around him, smiling at him slyly* Of course, that doesn't mean I can't have a boyfriend…
Ben: *blushing madly* I already have a girlfriend!
Cana: *chuckles cheekily*
ImmaSupa Stargirl: Ben, how many universes have you and Omni-Force visited so far?
Ben: As of now, I'd say over 70. Of course, there's always a lot more ground to cover when it comes to finding members.
Rook: Indeed.
Lucy: Okay… With that all done…
Levy: It's time for Ash and Mira's duet!
-Everyone starts applauding excitedly as the two make their way onto a stage-
Ash: *gulps nervously and blushes* Oh boy…
Mirajane: *places hand on his shoulder* Don't worry, Ash. After all, we've gotten through a lot together!
Ash: *blinks in surprise, but then nods, smiling* Yeah! *takes hold of a microphone*
Mirajane: *grabs her own microphone*
Korra: Go get 'em, Ash!
Pikachu: Pika!
-Ash and Mirajane start singing "Just A Dream" together-
Gajeel: Damn…
Natsu: They sound pretty good together!
Juvia: Ah… how beautiful…
Naruto: Go Ash!
Gingka: Heh.
Lucy: Woohoo! Go Ash and Mira!
-Song ends with everyone applauding-
Rex: Yeah! *runs over to Ash as he and Mirajane come down from the stage* That was awesome, hermano!
Ash: Th-Thanks… *glances over at Mirajane as she's talking with her siblings* I guess that song kinda shows me bein' with Mira nothing more than a dream…
Rex: Dude…
Laxus: *sighs* Oh for goodness' sake… *walks over and pushes Ash*
Ash: AH! *stops himself just a foot before Mirajane, catching her attention* Uh… I… uh…
Mirajane: *giggles as she turns to face him* Thanks for the duet, Ash. *kisses him on the forehead*
Ash: *blushes intensely* N-N-No p-problem…
Lucy: Hee, hee! Thanks for all the questions, everyone! Be sure to send in more for next time!
END Q&A
Hope you guys enjoyed that, along with the little Ash and Mira moment! Now it's time to continue the scenario story from SpiritReaper42! Last time, we reached the climax of the battle between Spirit Reaper against Natsu and Gajeel. Let's see how it all ends!
SCENARIO
Spirit Reaper: *stops time and damages Gajeel before letting time continue*
Gajeel: GAH! *falls backwards*
Levy: Gajeel!
Lily: What the heck just happened?! I didn't even see anything!

Cana: Dang… Never knew Equestrian magic was so scary…
Ben: Neither did I…
Spirit Reaper: *stops time and slashes Natsu with the scythe before letting time continue again*
Natsu: Ergh! *stumbles back for a moment*
Lucy: Natsu!
Spirit Reaper: *blends in the dark again*
Happy: Now he's gone!
Carla: Wendy, can you find him?
Wendy: *sniffs around* I can't… I don't know how he's able to do it…
Nightwing: Spirit was only using a spell to keep his scent hidden.
Wolverine: Didn't prevent me from beating him up in our last fight...
Carla: *narrows eyes at him* Is that so?
Pikachu: *ears perk up* Pika? *notices Spirit Reaper from the shadows behind him* Pi-!
Spirit Reaper: *looks at Pikachu* Shh... *gives him a bottle of ketchup and goes back to blending in*
Pikachu: P-Pika…
Ash: Something wrong, buddy?
Inuyahsa: Sounds like someone's enjoying his time in the dark...
Ash: Huh?
Naruto: I get it. *crosses arms* He's just toying with Natsu and Gajeel by staying in the shadows…
Ryu: He is a reaper... but he can do whatever strategy he needs to...
Gajeel: *gets up* Ugh… You all right, Salamander?
Natsu: *stands up fully* Yeah…
Spirit Reaper: *whacks both Natsu and Gajeel with the scythe*
Natsu & Gajeel: Guh! *both slide back a few yards*
Levy: Oh no…
Lucy: We gotta find a way to keep Spirit out of the-! *notices light switch on the wall* Oh. *turns lights on*
Spirit Reaper: *notices the lights are on* Well, I guess I can't always stay in the dark forever...
Gajeel: Let's get 'im!
Natsu: Yeah! I'm all fired up!
Tommy: Wait, where's Raiden? *looks around with the other members*
Wolverine: *sniffs for Raiden* He's hiding, but why's what I wanna know...
Rex: Wonder if it's got something to do with this fight…
Spirit Reaper: *flies up high and lunges at them*
Nightwing: Here he goes... One shot and it's over...
Gajeel: Ergh! *keels over suddenly*
Natsu: Hey, what happened?!
Levy: Gajeel, you gotta get outta there!
Lily: Hurry!
Spirit Reaper: SONIC DEATHBOOM! *activates ultimate attack*
Gajeel: Salamander! *jumps out in front of him, taking the attack head on with smoke to follow*
-Team Spirit stands tall despite the impact and wind blowing-
Gajeel: Ergh… *has Iron Dragon Scales deactivated, standing with plenty of bruises and cut marks*
Natsu: G-Gajeel…
Gajeel: *looks back at him and grins* It's yer fight now, Salamander… *starts falling over* Don't go losin' to this punk… *hits the ground*
Levy: GAJEEL!
Gray: Crap! Let's make sure he's okay! *runs out to him with Rex, Juvia, Lily, and Levy*
Natsu: *eyes tremble as he views Gajeel in his unconscious state, closing his hands into fists* Gr… *red dragon scales start to appear upon his body as he glares at Spirit Reaper* You're gonna pay for that…
Spirit Reaper: That wasn't supposed to happen...
Wendy: It Natsu's Dragon Force!
Ash: Whoa!
Wolverine: Sounds like my berserker mode...
Ryu: Or my evil form... Or Raiden's Jack the Ripper mode. A mode like Raiden's is a one way to get killed by him...
Rook: Either way, I believe the match has turned to his favor.
Spirit Reaper: *watches Natsu and summons scythe*
Natsu: RRRAAAHHH! *lunges out at him, missing with his right fist, but manages to elbow him in the back with his left arm*
Spirit Reaper: *dodges, but gets taken down by the last attack only to land on both feet* Whoa...
Tommy: Such power...
Nightwing: How long can he keep up?
Natsu: I'M TAKIN' YOU DOWN, YOU JERK! *throws right fist out at him*
Spirit Reaper: *dodges and kicks him in the gut* Shoryuken! *hits him with a jumping uppercut*
Natsu: Gr… *has his whole body get cloaked by golden flames* Like I'm lettin' that stop me! *gets into ready stance* Dragon Slayer Secret Arts!
Spirit Reaper: *gasps* No...
Natsu: *squats down* Hidden Fire Form! *smacks fists together* Flame Lotus…
Ryu: This isn't right...
Natsu: *jumps towards Spirit Reaper* PHOENIX SWORD! *rams into him head first as an arrow-like aura pierces through Spirit Reaper*
Spirit Reaper: *crashes to the ground with all the bracelets falling off*
Natsu: *red scales disappear* Heh… *raises right fist into the air* Told ya not to mess with me…
Inuyasha: *glares at Natsu and whacks him with Tessaiga* You idiot! Did you think about what you just did?!
Natsu: Ow! *rubs back of his head* What the heck did I do?!
Lucy: Yeah, all he did was win the fight! …Right?
Wolverine: This again? *lets claws out*
Lucy: EEP! *hides behind Erza*
Ryu: *pulls Inuyasha away* Forgive Inuyasha, but he's right. Once all Spirit's bracelet's are no longer on his legs and wrists, the curse will get worse.
Erza: Curse?
Gingka: What are you talking about?
Tommy: The demon within his curse will control him, along with giving him insane but evil power. Far stronger than how he is now. *summons Dragon Dagger*
Korra: W-What?!
Happy: Uh, it can't be that bad… can it?
Nightwing: Oh really? Then see for yourself. *points at Spirit*
Spirit Reaper: *rises up as blue fire flares and eyes glowed darker*
Gray: Uh oh…
Lucy: That doesn't look good…
Ben: *reaches for Omnitrix* Get ready, partner.
Rook: *grabs Proto-Tool* Right.
Spirit Reaper: *glares at everyone with an deadly smile with sharp teeth, razor claws, and demonic wings* Death... This is why I'm invincible... *summons a deadly sharp scythe*
Erza: *requips into Heaven's Wheel armor* Everyone, get ready!
Inuyasha: Snap out of it, Spirit! *aims sword at him*
Nightwing: No use telling him. *aims Escrima sticks at Spirit as well* The important thing is that we have to get the bracelets back on him.
Spirit Reaper: *runs past them at pure speed, but stops, glaring at Natsu* Thank you for releasing me, Dragneel... But I'm afraid that I'm going to have to kill you...
Natsu: *frightened* C-Can't we talk about this?
Spirit Reaper: *sends him away with only his palm*
Natsu: GAH!
Happy: Natsu! *races over and pulls out a Zodiac key*
Ryu: He's too fast!
Spirit Reaper: *teleports and makes Natsu crash hard with his palm*
Natsu: ERGH! *hits the ground hard on his face*
Spirit Reaper: *picks up Natsu while choking him* Time to die!
Gingka: Natsu!
Gray: We gotta hurry!
Tommy: Spirit, no! *runs but was stopped by Wolverine* Logan?!
Wolverine: Don't bother, he's here...
Raiden: *appears out of nowhere and attacks Spirit with the blade with intense speed, sending him away from Natsu*
Lucy: Whoa!
Happy: He saved Natsu!
Spirit Reaper: GAH! *tries to land*
Raiden: *puts murasama in its hilt to charge up power*
Inuyasha: About time he showed up...
Ryu: But that won't stop him for long... *picks up bracelets along with the others*
Lucy: Then we'll help! *readies key* Open, Gate of the Maiden: Virgo! *summons forth Virgo in a bright flash of light*
Virgo: Is it punishment time, princess?
Lucy: Not now, Virgo! Can you chain down that guy with the scythe?
Virgo: Certainly, princess. *rushes forward and dives into the ground, having chains pop up and wrap around Spirit Reaper*
Raiden: I will end you! *slashes Spirit so fast that even everyone could barely see what's going on*
Spirit Reaper: *falls face first but tries to get back up only to be forced down by Wolverine's claws and Virgo's chains* AGH!
Wolverine: Well, don't just stand there!
Ben: Right! *transforms into Wildvine*
Erza: Lucy, Wendy, you check on Natsu! Everyone else, hold Spirit Reaper down!
-Everyone rushes over and holds Spirit down however they can for the time being-
Team Spirit: *run to Spirit and put bracelets back on him*
Rex: Is… that it?
Nightwing: Wait, there's one missing.
Inuyasha: Damn it... where could bracelet be?
Pikachu: *holds up final bracelet* Pika pi! *hands it off to Tommy*
Tommy: Thanks, Pikachu. *puts bracelet back on Spirit, sealing the curse*
Wolverine: *gets off of him* He's unconscious...
Natsu: *gets up* Ergh… Is everyone all right?
Lucy: *giggles* Why not worry about yourself for a change? You got the worst of it…
Natsu: *smiles* Heh!
Raiden: Hmph. Being angry at your opponents for what happened to your comrades is fine. *glares at Natsu* But your ignorance could have gotten you killed.
Natsu: *raises eyebrow* Uh, sorry?
Spirit Reaper: *opens his eyes, groaning but gets up weakly while healing himself* Damn...
Natsu: Hey, Spirit! You'd never believe what happened after I took ya down…
Spirit Reaper: Save it, Dragneel. You can keep on saying that you beat me but the reality is that I didn't lose... *turns away*
Natsu: *growls in frustration*
Gingka: What's his deal?
Ryu: Whenever something like this happens, even if he loses or not... he doesn't believe that he lost.
Natsu: Aw, come on! Be a man and accept it!
Nightwing: Natsu, your victory is real but what you did... Ask yourself this: did you truly win in way you wanted?
Natsu: *glances off to the side in thought*
-A squeaking sound is heard-
Mirajane: Hey, wait a second…
Ash: We've heard that sound before…
Erza: Yes, we-
Grim: *nibbles on Erza's ear*
Erza: *pales in fright* KYAAAHHH! Get him off! *waves arms around comically*
Grim: *jumps and scurries to Pikachu and hides behind him*
Pikachu: Pika?
Spirit Reaper: *looks and gasps* Grim, how did you get here?
Erza: How he got behind my ear again is what I'd like to know…
Tommy: Size can always get the better of some people... *morphs back to normal*
Erza: *glares at him* Don't mention this to anyone else…
Inuyasha: That's why it followed our leader...
Grim: *scurries to Spirit and goes in his pocket*
Spirit Reaper: *chuckles and feeds it a piece of cheese* Grim, you are being too silly...
-Everyone chuckles-
Wolverine: So, what now?
Spirit Reaper: We leave... we still have a mission so thinking about my victory will have to wait. *starts walking with his team* Best of luck, everyone... *summons the blue portal and enters with the others*
Natsu: Later!
END SCENARIO
And there you have it! I'd like to thank SpiritReaper42 for coming up with this scenario idea. Now, we'll be going into sneak peeks of other stories in the remaining four chapters!
But first, it's time to share some Omni Force facts with you guys. After the battle against Tartaros, Omni Force members Ben Tennyson, Ash Ketchum, Naruto Uzumaki, Gingka Hagane, Rex Salazar, Rook Blonko, Hinata Hyuga, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer were all gifted with Fairy Tail guild marks. Ben got a green one on the center of his back, Ash got his in black on his right pectoral, Naruto got an orange one on his chest, Gingka got a red one upon his left arm in the same location that Erza has hers, Rex got his in black on his left shoulder, Rook got his in white upon his left hand, Hinata got hers in violet on her left thigh, Rainbow got hers in black upon her abdomen in same location as Cana's, and Sunset got hers in red on her right hand like Lucy's.
Also, after the Tartaros arc, Ben and Rook volunteered to stay behind and help fix up Magnolia, not knowing that Fairy Tail was to disband. As Ash, Gingka, Rainbow, and Sunset were about to head back to the former's universe, he was met with a surprise confession from Mirajane, promising to her that Fairy Tail would be back stronger than it was before. The next chapter will focus upon the relationships between the guild members and Omni Force members.
