-Lucy and Remi's Dimension-
"You won't let me kill her? We'll see about that." Rionette said. "But the question is which one of you I take down first…I chose you." Rionette quickly grabbed Remi by her throat and lifted her up, strangling her.
"Remi!" Lucy quickly raised a key. "OPEN! GATE OF THE CRAB! CANCER!" She summoned her celestial spirit who snipped his scissors. "So this is celestial magic...Interesting…" Rionette was impressed, but not scared. He did not even loosen his grip on Remi, who was struggling for air.
"Time for a trim, ebi." Cancer charged Rionette and tried to cut him, but Rionette turned into a shadow and dispersed, dodging, but dropping Remi in the process. "Gah!" Remi gasped for air.
"Looks like I'll have to deal with you first." Rionette decided as he reformed in between Lucy and Cancer. "What!? How'd you do that!?" "My DB allows me to control shadows…Not just my own." Rionette informed her as she suddenly realized she couldn't move. Neither could Cancer. "What's going on!?"
"As long as I'm stepping on your shadows, you are nothing but my puppets. You can't move unless I pull your strings." Rionette answered, as he walked over to Lucy and snatched away her keys. "AH! My keys! Cancer! I close your gate!" Lucy forcibly closed her spirit's gate, not wanting him to be a sitting duck.
"So you can dispel the spirits without your keys? No matter." Rionette suddenly smiled, and Lucy began walking forward, without her control. "What the!?" Lucy tried fighting the movement, to no prevail. "Like I said before, you are my puppet. I can will you to do anything. Like..Kill the friend you promised to protect."
"No, I won't!" Lucy continued to struggle, but she still could not stop herself. She forcibly got on top of Remi, and placed both hands around her neck, choking her. "Now..Will you kill her or will she kill you first?"
"Remi..No..Run!" Lucy yelled at her. "Agh..Lucy.." Remi whimpered. "Come on, hit me! Get me off of you and then run!" She yelled again, but Remi barely had any strength, for being choked by Rionette before. "How dull..No fight at all.." Rionette mused. "No..Remi…I'm sorry.." Lucy apologized, sobbing.
"Well now, this just won't do." A fist came out of nowhere and punched Rionette in the back, who turned to shadows and avoided it again, leaving Lucy's shadow. "Men shouldn't be making women dirty their hands like this."
"Loke!" Lucy gasped in joy as she was freed, quickly getting off the unconscious Remi. "Your knight in shining armor has arrived." Loke boasted, adjusting his suit and sunglasses.
"Another celestial spirit…But how did you get here if I have her keys?" Rionette asked. "I'm Leo the lion, leader of the zodiac. Being the strongest, I have the perk of passing through the gate at will." Loke explained.
"Doesn't matter. Just another marionette for me to control. Loke raised his fists."You think so, eh?" His fists began glowing. "Watch out, Loke! If he steps on your shadow, he can paralyze and control you! And if you attack him he'll just turn himself into a shadow again!" Lucy informed her partner.
"That so.." Loke smiled as Rionette charged him and stepped on his shadow. "Now, how about I make you kill your own master?" Rionette smiled arrogantly. "For making my kind hearted master attack her friend…For bringing tears to her pretty eyes..Accept the punishment! LION'S BRILLIANCE!"
Loke's glowing fists began to shine even more and suddenly they exploded in light, blinding and engulfing everyone. Rionette however, took the worst of it. He began deforming and the light devoured the shadows, eradicating him.
"Woah! Nice one, Loke!" Lucy complimented. "Thank you. But I can't help but wonder.." Loke pondered. "Huh? What?" Lucy asked. "To be able to control women by stepping on their shadows…If only such a DB would've fallen into my hands..!" Lucy gave him a karate chop to the head. "You make me worried about all the girls in Magnolia, you know."
-Gray's Dimension-
"You aren't going anywhere, Amigo. Not in one piece, anyway." Rascas warned Gray. "Let's see what you've got..Let's dance!" The half naked Gray took his ice make stance. "You asked for it..Ice Make: Hammer!" Gray formed a hammer of ice and dropped it over Rascas, but as soon as it formed, Rascas was already in front of him.
Rascas delivered a quick punch to his face, sending Gray grinding back. 'What the hell? There's no way-' "No way I could have reacted that fast?" Rascas interrupted. "How'd he know?' Gray thought. "I wouldn't be this smooth unless I could read your mind, amigo!" Rascas answered.
"Reading my mind..." Gray stopped to think. "So he'll know exactly what I'm going to do when I attack..I'm fucked.." He thought. "Indeed you are, muchacho." Gray took a deep breath. "Gotta fight like Natsu then I guess!" Gray charged Rascas.
"Rah!" Gray went for an uppercut to his chin and then a knee to his gut, but Rascas swiftly dodged. "Nice pace." He complimented. Gray brought his hands together. "ICE MAKE: LANCE!" He created and fired a lance of ice at Rascas, who saw right through it.
"I've memorized your rhythm..Ice Make: Lance!" Rascas created and sent a lance twice as big and twice as fast at Gray, surprising him. "GAH!" Gray was caught off guard and hit, sent flying back.
"He copied my attack..no..it was stronger than my own..Is that you're DB!?" Gray asked. "Correcta Moundo!" Rascas answered as he looked around. "This snowy mountain...Where you were taught by your master, right? Ur..The one whom you killed."
"!" Gray's eyes widened. "How do you know about that!?" Gray yelled. "Ah..I can feel a change in your beat...Is this a touchy subject? I read your mind when we first entered this area..When you thought of all that...Your teacher's death...Your fault."
"Shut up! ICE MAKE: GEYSER!" Gray attacked, in rage. "Oooh, An increase in tempo. I am mucho impressed…But I can match that move..TRIPLE REVENGER! ICE MAKE: GEYSER!" Rascas copied Gray's attack again, but this time, it was 3 times as strong and fast.
"Shit!" Ice Make: Shield!" Gray quickly put up a shield to defend himself. "I can see through it." Rascas appeared behind Gray as soon as he put up the shield and knocked him into it by hitting him with his maracas, breaking it and sending him into the massive geyser of ice.
"The tango was fun, however it is over." Rascas turned around and began walking away. "Hold it right there..You maraca bastard…" Gray said as he stood up, damaged. "Oh? Still got the fiest to stand?" Rascas asked. "But you should know, this battle is impossible for you to win."
"Impossible? That word isn't in Fairy Tail's vocab! I let you get under my skin…My bad..But Ur isn't dead! She lives on in her students! And I'll use what she taught me to beat you!" Gray closed his eyes and took a deep breathe, relaxing.
"To control ice, I have to become part of it..Clear my mind..And become one with my ice." Gray opened his eyes, as a look of shock came across Rascas' face. He couldn't read Gray's thoughts. "ICE MAKE: BOW!" Gray created a bow made out of ice and loaded it up with dozens of arrows, shooting them all quickly at Rascas.
"No use!" Rascas jumped into the air, dodging them. "Even if I can't read your thoughts, I can still copy the attacks you use!" He said, landing. "I won't give you time to! ICE MAKE: FLOOR!" Gray slammed his palm onto the ground and covered the ground in slippery ice and Rascas landed, causing him to slip and fall.
"Tricky!" Rascas quickly got up, but met the end of a cannon to his face. "ICE MAKE: CANNON!" Gray quickly fired a cannonball of ice at Rascas, getting a direct hit. Rascas took the blast full force, and fell, out cold.
"Sorry but it looks like my tempo was a little faster than yours, amigo." Gray said with a grin.
-Musica's Dimension-
"You're life was over the moment you decided to fight us!" Wally yelled at Musica as his arm disappeared, making Musica raise an eyebrow in question. "Bye-bye." Wally's arm appeared behind Musica, wielding a gun, and fired.
"A headshot's a bit too messy don't you think?" Musica mocked as he ducked his head under the bullet and then grabbed and squeezed Wally's arm. "Graaaah!" Wally fell to his knees in pain. "Let go! You're gonna break it!" He screamed.
"Meow!" Millianna whipped her ropes at Musica, wrapping him up tightly. "Super strong, right?" She asked. "..Kinky. Sorry but there's no time for this kind of stuff today." Musica took a deep breathe and flexed his entire body as hard as he could, ripping the whips apart. "Meow!?" Millianna was surprised.
"Grrr take this!" Sho threw a card at Musica, attempting to trap him inside of it. Musica crafted his silver into a long knife and cut the card in half. "That all you got, Shorty?"
"Attack him all at once, guys!" Simon commanded as he used his darkness to engulf the area in darkness. "He can't dodge what he can't see!" Musica looked around, unable to see a thing. "I have a question for you all…Do you hate Erza?"
"Of course!" Sho yelled. "She left us to die in that damn tower!" Wally shouted. "Er-Chan abandoned us!" Millianna pitched in. "…Bullshit. You don't hate her. I noticed that when Erza saw you she was scared..Scared of what you would say to her. But I when you all saw her, I saw the happiness in your eyes. You were relived she was okay."
"Shut up!" They all yelled as they all tried attacking Musica in the darkness, Millianna with her whips, Sho with his cards, and Wally with his blocks. "Deep down inside you all know that what he told you can't be the truth. But you had no choice but to lie to yourself and force yourselves to believe him, because he was the one who saved you from dying, right?" Musica asked, blocking and dodging the attacks.
"All this time you've still had faith in her, but it just got clouded with all the crap he's been feeding you...Do you understand what I'm getting at? Erza isn't the one who betrayed you, Jellal is!" There was a thud and the darkness cleared, and the 3 were pinned to the ground by silver nails. Musica stood unharmed, as did Simon.
"You 3 need to open your eyes to the truth, and see that Erza isn't at fault. He already did...Right?" Musica asked Simon, who nodded. "You're smarter and stronger than I originally expected…None of us could even see you attack."
"Is he telling the truth, Simon!? Was Jellal lying!?" Wally asked his comrade. "..Darkness." Once again the area was engulfed with darkness, and when it cleared, the 4 of them were gone, leaving Musica alone.
"They're gone.." Musica sighed and then smiled. "I've cleared up your name, Erza. So you better return to your former self and start kicking some ass!"
-Erza's Dimension-
"Guh!" Erza hit the ground with a thud, her blackwing armor being destroyed. Ltiangle stood away from her, unharmed. "Not too bad. You aren't close to my level, but you are skilled nonetheless. But if you're fighting on that side of the war, it is nothing more than a waste of talent and power."
"Be quiet..Don't you dare speak ill of my nakama!" Erza stood up and equipped her purgatory armor. "All who have seen this armor of mine have been defeated!" She declared, but Ltiangle showed no emotion. "You cannot fight me, let alone defeat me, if you do not know what I am capable of."
"SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Erza swung her gigantic blade, creating a shockwave that rushed at Ltiangle. The shockwave hit an invisible shield and was nulled as Ltiangle raised my arm, and suddenly 4 large blasts of energy hit Erza, her armor breaking apart.
"Kah!" Erza coughed up blood. "How…I can't even see his attacks coming…Unless..That's the power of your DB!?" Ltiangle nodded. "Transparent, the ability of invisibility. You cannot block or evade attacks you cannot see. Nor can you penetrate my invisible defenses."
"Then I'll attack you from all directions!" Erza equipped her Heaven's Wheel armor and several dozen blades. "Take this!" All the blades rushed at Ltiangle, but he was gone. Erza couldn't see him at all.
"What!?" Where'd you go!?" She looked around, still unable to see him. "I haven't gone anywhere." Ltiangle re-appeared. "IDNIALOQ!" Suddenly lasers come from all directions and pierced Erza's body in several places, her armor shattering and wounding her all over her body. She fell.
"I am disappointed, Titania. Is this all you have to offer? Are you so weak of a warrior that you allow your emotions to completely cloud your vision and interfere with your battles? If you were clear minded, you probably could have deduced I could turn myself invisible and hit me with that attack. There's no way you can defeat a master of emotions like me, then. You are weak." Ltiangle spoke. Erza twitched.
"You're right..I am weak..But it is not because I fight with my emotions..It is because my emotions have never been enough to protect those I care about…I've been weak from the start..A big cry baby who would hide herself behind some armor and shield her heart…" Erza forced herself to her feet.
"Capable of standing with such wounds? Impressive." Ltiangle complimented. "I understand now..I have to master my emotions as well..And remove the armor from my heart.." Erza reequipped another outfit. She wore bright red pants with flames on the side and bandages around her chest, her hair tied back in a pony tail and wielding two katanas.
"You intend to fight with that? Have you a death wish?" Ltiangle asked, confused. "No..I'm going to defeat you now." Erza told him with confidence. "Defeat me? Perhaps I knocked some screws loose in your head. No matter. Maybe you will find a better existence in the next life." Ltiangle turned invisible got ready to attack, Erza unable to see where the attack would come from.
"Hah!" Erza rushed forward full speed. "Die!" Ltiangle fired a large, invisible beam at Erza with all his might. "I can sense it!" Erza pulled back one her blades and swung it at the beam with perfect timing, slicing the attack clear in 2, her katana shattering in the process. "With one sword, she…No…Stop!" Ltiangle cried out in fear as Erza pulled back her second blade.
"Master of your emotions? Then why aren't you able to hide your fear!?" She yelled as she slashed forward and a few seconds later, Ltiangle re-appeared, a massive bleeding wound present across his body.
"How could this be..I am invincible.." Ltiangle fell to the ground, defeated. "No-one is invincible. That is why we have nakama to support each other. I'm on the right side of this war." Erza said as she reequipped her regular armor and looked at the door. "Get ready Jellal, I'm coming for you!"
-Haru and Elie's Dimension-
"Huff..This guy's good..He's matched me blow for blow.." Haru panted, banged up and bruised, bleeding a bit. Let stood across from him, in the same condition. "Huff..To be honest, I never thought you'd last for this long. I give you credit." Let complimented, panting as well.
"…Do you hear that?" Haru asked, looking around. "Hear what?" Let said, focusing on a faint sound he could hear.
"IIIIIIGGGGNEEEEEELLLL!" Natsu roared as he ripped through the dimension, appearing before Haru, Let, and Elie. "Natsu!?" Elie exclaimed in surprise. Natsu landed and looked around. "Where are you, Igneel?!" He shouted.
"Impossible…He switched dimensions and came here!? I can sense Ltiangle has been defeated so the magic has weakened, but it still a very difficult task..Yet he did it with no effort…Intriguing." Let complimented as he focused on Natsu, who was staring right at him.
"The smell is coming from you…Are you a dragon!?" He asked the warrior. "..Not exactly. I am of the dragon race. Consider me a dragon with a human form." Let answered.
"Do you know a dragon named Igneel?" Natsu continued to question. "I do not." Let answered. "But I may have a clue on where he might be." Let told him. "You do?! Where?!" Natsu yelled. "I am afraid I cannot tell you that." Let said as he got into a fighting stance.
"…Then I'll beat you down and force it out of you!" Natsu also got into a fighting position. "Haru, leave this guy to me." He told his comrade. "You sure you can fight properly? I mean, you just had a fight too, right?" Haru asked.
"Yeah but he was a weakling. Kept going on about killing me and then tried hitting me with needles, but I dodged and knocked him flat with one punch." Natsu answered. "Hmph. Ron. He was the weakest of us all." Let pitched in. "Good, or else I'd be disappointed." Natsu grinned.
"Alright. He's all yours. Just be careful though, he's strong! And he hasn't even pulled a DB yet! And Let, we'll continue our battle another day!" Haru declared. "Let's go, Elie!" Elie nodded. "Yeah!" They both took off, looking for an exit.
"Hmm..You just said that dude I took out was the weakest right..Is it safe to say you're the strongest?" Natsu asked. "Correct. Although Ltiangle is the leader, my strength surpasses his. The only reason he is leader is because I have no care for King or Jellal and their plans or what happens to them. I fight for myself, and therefore am not trustable enough." Let replied.
"Good..Then I don't have to hold back!" Natsu smiled wide and ignited his hands with fire.
