Chapter 9: Phantom Lord Final: John's Fury Part II

Song: 'Hero' by Skillet (John's Theme)

John stood in front of Jose, lightning racing all over his body. Jose had an aura of darkness surrounding him. In silent agreement, the two dashed towards each other, John spinning so his blades blurred together like a saw, and Jose forming a blade out of darkness. The three blades clashed, sending a shockwave throughout the room. The two yelled as they tried to overpower the other, each's own respective power spreading throughout one side of the room. John let go of his left blade, letting it fight on its own as he grabbed Jose's face, bringing him up and throwing him down, sending him through several floors of the building. Jose landed on his back in a much larger room that just happened to have Erza and the rest of the group that was leaving. Jose rolled out of the way of John's crash into the room, aiming to hit the man in the stomach. He jumped up and out of the way of a swing to his leg. He then noticed the wizards in the room.

"How would you like it if I hurt your precious friends, huh? Dead-"a golden blade was thrown at him, with a chain connected at the end. The blade missed him, but the chain wrapped around his torso, holding his arms in place. The blade flew back and shoved itself under a layer of chains, locking itself in. Jose was then thrown into a pillar, then a wall, and flung up and slammed down onto the ground heavily.

"Go! Hurry!" John yelled as his blade flew back to his hand, With Jose dashing towards him, face full of rage. John brought his blades up to block, and the black blade pushed against his own golden ones. John pushed up on the blade, throwing Jose into the air.

"Thunder Bolt!" he yelled, sending the attack speeding towards the Wizard Saint. The man smirked before deflecting the attack into a pillar. He then raised a hand

"Dead Wave!" he announced, an orb of darkness forming in his hand. He thrust his hand forward, and the orb morphed into a beam. John's eyes narrowed.

"Thunder Destroyer!" his body became enveloped in lightning, and he raised his blades once again.

"Electric Rebound!" he yelled, crossing the blades before uncrossing them, sending a spiral of lightning straight at the attack. Once the two attacks met, the lightning became enveloped the spiral before bringing it with it towards Jose, whose eyes widened before being hit by the dual-attack. He grunted as he flew towards the wall, crashing into it. He growled, hating how easily this man fought him.

"Death's Judgement!" he screamed, sending an orb of destruction at the man he was fighting. The man cut it in half, sending the halves flying into the wall behind him, destroying it.

"Thought Projection!" he said, making dozens of copies of himself surround John. The man simply raised a blade and flipped it.

"Lightning Eruption!" he yelled, stabbing the blade into the ground. The entirety of the floor they were standing on blew up, destroying the copies and sending both John and Jose falling down into an even larger room. The two yelled as they clashed while falling. Jose formed a second blade and send a barrage of swings at John, who blocked the strikes and dealt some of his own, which were also blocked. John spun to give Jose a round house kick, but Jose blocked it with a blade. He then stuck out his pointer finger at John

"Dead Wave" John was hit point blank with the attack, being his too quickly to block. He flew into a wall on the other side of the room, whereas Jose landed on his feet in a crouch. John yelled as he jumped out of the wall, his blades above his head. He swung down, trying for an overhead shot, but Jose rolled out of the way and spun with his leg out, catching a falling John in the head. The man grunted as he again flew into a wall. Jose laughed manically at seeing John start to lose this battle.

Outside of the building, Erza and the small group managed to make it to Fairy Tail.

"Hey, you're back. Where's John?" Cana asked

"He's fighting Jose." Mira stated. Cana stopped fighting the Shades momentarily to look at the group

"He's what?!" she asked.

"Yeah. That was our reaction. Then we saw they were about even with their fighting abilities and powers." Erza said.

"Either way, we need help with these. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop them unless Jose gets beat, and theres too many to fend off with our numbers."

"Alright. Were tired, but can fight. Requip, Flight Armor!" Erza said before darting around the area, attacking as many Shades as she could.

"Take Over: The Beast!" Elfman roared before tearing through the ghosts

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"Ice Make: Geyser!"

"Emperor's Anger!" Cana yelled, charging into battle. Feeling left out, Mira looked around before seeing a possible weapon. She grabbed it as a stray Shade flew over. Lifting it over her head, she vigorously hit the ghost in the head, yelling:

"Steel Pipe!" She continued to shout like a mad woman before lifting it over her head again and jogging into battle because of her heels.

John coughed up a couple drops of blood before wiping his mouth and getting up.

"You can't win. You are just a man who plays with lightning. I am a Wizard Saint. I am in an entirely different class of strength than you. You will never win against me. You might as well kill yourself now, so I don't have to dirty my hands." Jose bragged to the brown haired man.

"…You know what? Everything you just said is right. Except one thing."

"And what is that?"

"You're not gonna win. Everything else is correct. You are a Wizard Saint. I play with lightning as if it's nothing but a toy. And we are in entirely different classes of strength. You just got the strength levels backwards."

"Oh? And what can you do to show that?" Jose said, disbelieving the in front of him can do anything to win.

"Just about to get to that. You are the first person that's gonna see this in this world. Be glad you're this strong." He said before his body became surrounded by a funnel of lightning. Jose's smirk slowly left his face. John looked up at the man, his eyes changing from a blood red to an electric gold.

"I summon the full power of the great lightning blade, Gurlando Raitoningu Ken." He said before he disappeared in a tornado. Jose immediately widened his eyes and stabbed his swords of darkness into the ground. Seconds later, a hand tore through the tornado, revealing John in a new outfit. He now wore a small tunic with shoulder pads and plates of armor that covered his private and the top of his thighs. He also wore metal boots that went up to the knee, but didn't restrict movement. He also wore pants that were under the armor. The entirety of the armor was different shades of gold, with lightning bolts scattered about. He held no swords, but his forearms were covered in gauntlets made of black lightning. His hair had a streak of gold here and there, and his pupils were gold whereas his irises were their normal blood red. After taking in the appearance, Jose had only one thing to say.

"Is that it? A costume change? And some lightning gloves? Is that supposed to intimidate me? Because that's the only thing it might do." After speaking the comment, Jose suddenly felt pain in his back and he shot forward into a wall. After getting out of it, he looked back to see John standing directly behind where he was, with a boot out to signify his attack.

"Shut up and let me beat your ass." He growled, with a light buzz to his voice. Growling, Jose stood up, only to be flung across the room with a pain in his side. He spun and slid on his fingers for a bit to counter attack, but there was no one there.

"Hi there." Came a voice from above him. His eyes widened a second before a foot connected with his mid back, sending him into the ground. He swung his blade behind him, or above in this case, only to hit air. A fist erupted from the ground in front of his face, sending him soaring into the weakened roof.

"How are you so fast?!" he yelled. A blur of yellow shot to the center of the room, and morphed into John.

"In this form, which I call Fusion, I literally fuse with my blade, Raitoningu. However that isn't his full name. Names have power, which is why I and others like me purposely shorten those names because if we didn't, we would kill everything in our path. By saying the full name of our weapon, we fuse, gaining the strength and abilities of our weapon. My weapon is Gurlando Raitoningu Ken, which means Grand Lightning Blade in English. Whenever I enter Fusion, I gain the overwhelming power and insane speed of lightning." He answered before becoming a blur that shot up a wall, across the roof, and slamming into the unsuspecting face of Jose. Jose flew across the room, with a burning sensation on his check. He was then hit in the back by the same blur. He shot across the room again, only to be hit another time.

"Hm…this feels like volleyball. Hitting a ball across the arena to make sure it doesn't hit the ground." John noticed as he hit Jose in the chest. He shot to the other side of the room and kicked the flying Jose in the back. He sped to the other side of the room, and his eyes widened when he was hit in the chest by a kick.

"Like I said earlier, you can't win." Jose growled, face contorted in anger.

"Then allow me to step up my game." John answered back as blades formed in his hands. He flipped, pushing Jose off of him. Both landed on their feet, then yelling as they charged, blades meeting. John bolted behind him, swinging overhead only for Jose to sidestep it and stab behind him. John appeared in another place in the room.

"It seems you have gotten accustomed to my speed. Let's not let that happen. Lightning Copy" he said before Jose was punched in the face, kicked in the back, kicked in the stomach, and stabbed in the foot simultaneously. Jose flew back, screaming as his foot was tore open because his foot moved, but the blade didn't. He weakly got up, snarling.

"Shades!" he yelled, the black and purple ghosts appearing and chasing the multiple copies of his opponent.

"Assault of Darkness!" he screamed, and John was enveloped by a flurry of black slashes, yelling the whole time. John bolted out of the attack and delivered his own assault to Jose. He spun wildly, his blades becoming a golden saw blade that threatened to break Jose's blades. John slashed up, bringing up Jose's guard.

"Lightning Saw!" John yelled as his blades became covered in an electric aura, He swung at Jose, who formed a Shade as a shield. The Shade was torn through almost instantly. Jose's eyes widened before he brought both blades to block. The twin blades of darkness were also torn through like tin foil. Jose jumped back out of the way of the swing, only for John to dash towards him.

"Lightning Barrage!" he yelled, and his movement speed increased. His slashes became a blur of gold, and Jose was unable to block even half the strikes. Nicks and gashes appeared everywhere on his form. A kick hit his back, making him stumble before another foot connected with his chin, making him fly up.

"Lightning Cannon!" a sparking bolt of lightning shot up to Jose before hitting him, exploding in a shower of light, similar to fireworks.

"Dead Wave!" Jose screamed once he recovered from the multiple attacks.

"Thunder Chain!" a chain of lightning shot out of John's blade, wrapping around the attack and continuing on to grab Jose. Jose was pulled into the attack, and the chain wrapped around the attack entirely, making a giant ball of gold. Seconds later, it faded, smoke hissing out of the space it used to occupy. Jose's body fell, but landed on his feet weakly.

"Time for my last resort! Dead Rising!" he screamed, and the floor turned purple. Hands soon started rising out of the ground and John immediately bolted straight up. The hands followed.

"You can't escape them, Powerhouse! They will follow you until they capture and kill you!" Jose yelled

"Who says I'm escaping?" came John's reply. Jose became confused before his eyes widened in realization.

'An Attack? But what-' his thoughts were stopped by a buzzing shout.

"Lightning Apocalypse!*" John yelled as he fell down, lightning covering his body in an aura. Seconds before he landed, he flipped so he'd land feet first. He hit the ground, and the ground shattered.

With Fairy Tail, they were weakly defensing the ruins of Fairy Tail, the shades relentless. Suddenly, the shades disappeared and everyone turned to the Phantom Lord building before their eyes widened. The gigantic structure was falling apart, a random section exploding every second or so. Right before the robot's chest hit the water, the entire upped half of the robot exploded.

"John did it!" Several members of Fairy Tail cried in happiness. However, Lucy, Levy, Erza, Mira, and Sherry all stared at the destroyed ruins of the building, before also crying out once seeing a blur of gold shoot out of the wreckage. It flew up in the air towards Fairy Tail, momentarily glowing a brilliant gold before fading to reveal a falling a slightly battered John. He landed on the ground, dentin it slightly, and got up. He smirked. Makarov allowed the entirety of Fairy Tail to take the rest of the day off. However, they all followed John as he walked over to his house, wanting to party there. After getting over the shock of the great looking house, they all had a great time, with John and Natsu tag teaming at one point to create fireworks.

AUTHORS NOTES TIME!

*Lightning Apocalypse. This is John's third most powerful attack in Fusion. The higher he goes, the more damage dealt. For example, going up 50 feet in the air could destroy a city, 100 feet, a small island. In this scene, he went up 25 feet. Goodbye Phantom.
