Chapter 9: Mega Dawn MaDness

It was the school once again, the school that proclaimed itself to be the greatest of all schools, the school that one could go to in order to achieve their dreams, the school where horror began to surface. It was Mega Dawn High School, and nothing seemed right in it anymore. The school retained everything it normally had, but nothing seemed real; the reality was replaced with nothing but numbness and empty feelings. People talked and had fun, yes, but it was much quieter and the energy that lurked amongst the school was murky and gross. The liveliness that it once had was gone, not that anyone seemed to notice. Everyone acted as if everything was normal, but of course that wasn't true. Anyone who was considered an "outsider" to the place would immediately notice the difference.

Strangely enough, someone named Roxanne Laurel was able to pick up on this strange energy whilst being considered an ally in the building. For days, months, even years, Roxanne could tell that there was something wrong, but her eyes fooled her. Something was off, yet she didn't know, so she put it aside and deemed it a minor issue. How could she possibly know when everything else seemed perfectly fine? Nothing had happened to her, or Erza, and she thought that the reason Kyousuke had all his issues thrown at him was because of his lack of a partner as he originally assumed himself. Yet, even that assumption somehow seemed off, but what else was there to say? She walked through the building into the cafeteria, seeing everyone eating their food and talking as usual, thinking about the school once more. Erza was elsewhere tidying up on the school's organization, so she wasn't with her. In fact, not everyone was at the cafeteria; some of them were still in class. A calm expression covered her face as she just stared about while her thoughts took over.

"Of course, it's the same thing once again." She thought to herself, having expected it as usual. She turned to her left and noticed the lunch-ladies serving people the food they ordered, letting the strange feeling that lingered within her to nest itself. "Everything looks normal, yet something is off. It's been like this for years." Roxanne thought to herself calmly, continuing to observe. "However, Kyousuke has been gone for several days. I remember seeing him on the TV screen when watching the performance; did he make it into the team?" Roxanne questioned. If he did, she would've been happy about it. She knew of the pain that he endured here in this school and all the madness that he couldn't get away from, and so knowing that he made the team would make her feel complacent on the inside. "As long as he doesn't have to deal with the crap here, I'm happy for him." Roxanne said calmly. At that moment, a strange possibility entered her mind, perplexing her once more and bringing up a shocking sequence of events. "What if...he knew about this as well? What if his pain and struggle here was somehow tied to it, and he left the school in order to deal with it?" Roxanne questioned. However, she immediately dismissed it. "No, it couldn't be. How could he know? I don't even know a single clue that could lead me to any solution regarding this strange energy, so how far could he have gone? Perhaps I'm just overthinking this." Roxanne thought to herself stress-fully. She shook her head lightly to knock out the negativity entering her, only to meet face-to-face with the Dragon Slayer that knew how to annoy her.

"Roxanne, what's up?" Dayton questioned, standing right in front of her as she looked up at him surprised. Of course he had to come in and disrupt her thought process, but perhaps that was a good thing.

"I'm just thinking about stuff." Roxanne said calmly, provoking his curious nature to take over.

"Yeah, about what?" Dayton wondered. Roxanne couldn't tell him; he wouldn't understand. He was a one-track-minded individual, and Roxanne felt that he wouldn't be able to catch onto her questioning of the building they were standing in.

"It's nothing to worry about Dayton, just weird ideas and all."

"Well then what are you doing just standing here; come over and sit down with us!" Dayton encouraged, referring to Natsu and Happy at one of the tables. Dayton started heading back to them as Roxanne took a deep breath, trying to relax herself.

"I should probably just stay level-headed and not get caught up in this stuff again. Just relax…" She thought to herself as she headed over to the table they were at. Both Natsu and Happy were eating away at a bunch of roasted chicken as Dayton was eating spaghetti. Roxanne would often get disgusted with their behavior in the cafeteria and punch them in the face, especially if they managed to get her completely covered in food, literally. They could get extremely messy and often her hair would be replaced by spaghetti strings that she would have to wash out of her hair later in the day. However, not even those possibilities could put a halt to the thoughts that kept crawling out of her brain. She just sat there, thinking about it again as the other three noticed, questioning her once again.

"Are you sure it's nothing important?" Dayton questioned, catching her attention once more. Roxanne looked at him surprised as both he and Natsu looked at her in wonder, not concern, but wonder. Roxanne, strangely enough, felt emptiness in the compassion they tried to place on their faces, which put great shock into her, but she wouldn't reveal that.

"Yeah, I'm sure Dayton. Don't worry about it." Roxanne said calmly. Natsu only continued to persist, much to her dismay.

"You've been acting like this for a while Roxanne, something must've happened." Natsu said, picking up on it. Happy flew around with a fish in his grasp.

"Did you forget to eat your favorite fish?" Happy questioned, annoying Roxanne somewhat.

"Yeah, I did." Roxanne said sarcastically. Dayton, however, was quick to bring something surprising to her attention.

"You know that Kyousuke's been gone for a while, is it that?" Dayton questioned, surprising Roxanne somewhat.

"What makes you say that?"

"He's been gone for seven days," Natsu said in response, "and ever since you've been up and down and everything."

"Is that right?" Roxanne questioned calmly, knowing what he said is true. She did worry about him, even when he was gone, even in all the hatred the others held for him. Ironically enough, Natsu and Dayton couldn't understand how she could feel this way.

"Why don't you just forget him?" Dayton questioned in surprise, angering Roxanne "He doesn't even deserve to be here anyway."

"The only reason he left is because people hated him for not having a partner. I don't see how not having a partner is an issue." Roxanne stated annoyed, crossing her arms and becoming defensive as Natsu was quick to engage.

"You saw what he did; he's murdered people! There's something wrong with you if you don't think that should be enough to not trust him." Natsu said angrily. He really didn't like Kyousuke, especially after the incident he had with him way back, so seeing him gone inflicted relief within him. Roxanne, however, only became more angry, perhaps more angry with him than ever before.

"Do you even know why he has murdered people? I bet you don't!"

"Doesn't matter, he's dangerous and that's all that matters." Natsu said calmly. She couldn't believe her ears, slamming her hands on the table and bringing all their attentions to her.

"I can't believe this; the great Natsu Dragneel can't even see past the crap that's falling before him!"

"What did you say?!" Natsu said angrily, getting up to her face to face. He was very angry with her, but so was she.

"You heard me; you just followed everyone else! Not once have I ever hated him because of what other people think, and that's why I think there's something wrong! Haven't you ever thought twice about what you were doing?!"

"He came up to me and cussed me out; I don't need a reason to hate him! Have you even seen the things he does to people?!"

"Yeah, I have! That's why I'm siding with him! Come on Natsu; be realistic here!" Roxanne said, angering Natsu. He eventually got fed up.

"You want me to be realistic?" He questioned, surprising Roxanne. "If you like him so much, you can go with him and when we find you, we'll take you both down. You're just a traitor!" Natsu yelled angrily. Roxanne couldn't believe what she was hearing; it made her want to cry.

"Natsu...why? Why are you being so mean to me? I just believe there's something wrong." She thought to herself sadly. Natsu, shockingly, continued to insult her and hurt her feelings.

"I should've burned him into a pile of ashes when I had the chance." Natsu said angrily, pushing Roxanne to the limit. She had it, she couldn't take it anymore; the anger was so bad at this point. Even Dayton grew fearful as he could see her shaking uncontrollably over how pissed she was, and she wasn't about to let it just seethe through her.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" She screamed, punching Natsu in the face with an impact powerful enough to send him flying feet away. Everyone's attention was shifted to them in shock, wondering what was happening as Natsu got up and noticed his cheek was swollen, looking at Roxanne angrily. She was clearly angry, tired of his bull-crap. "I've had enough of you! I thought you would understand, but I guess I was wrong." Roxanne said calmly. Natsu, however, wanted payback.

"You wanna fight me?" Natsu questioned, earning an angry look from Roxanne. "I'll destroy you."

"I'd like to see you try you flame-headed moron. You'll be lucky if you survive." Roxanne explained in a dark tone, angering him even more. Dayton tried to stop the fight, starting with Roxanne.

"What the hell are you doing?! Why don't you understand that Kyousuke's the enemy?!"

"HE'S NOT THE ENEMY!" Roxanne screamed putting him into complete shock as everyone else was also sent into shock. She regained her control, being able to properly maneuver whilst being angry. "You just don't get it, do you? Now I understand why Kyousuke lost faith in everyone." Roxanne said sadly, shocking Dayton on a whole other level. He couldn't understand her faith in him, more so why she would be willing to break ties with Natsu in order to defend Kyousuke.

"You didn't have to do this." Dayton said sadly, watching as Roxanne quickly dismissed it.

"Too late now; what hurts me most is your willingness to sever ties with me over him." Roxanne said, trying to restrain herself from crying. She couldn't believe it, and it hurt her deeply. How could her best friends betray her so easily? Erza wasn't there, so she would be fighting Natsu on her own.

Suddenly, everything was ended when someone else called out a peculiar sight.

"Look who's returned!" He shouted, looking at someone lying against one of the cafeteria walls. Roxanne turned to look, suddenly being sent into a state of incredulity. Her eyes widened, her posture froze, and she had no choice but to continuously stare at the shocking sight that met her eyes.

"No...way…" She said in shock. "He's here."

Yes, it was indeed Kyousuke Watanabe, the one student who everybody hated, standing there in the school once again. He had his arms crossed and was looking at the ground with a fixed gaze, thoughts running through his head as he received stares from everyone.

"Get him! Take him out!" Someone shouted as he, along with two others, approach Kyousuke and prepared to attack him. Kyousuke, however, was faster, immediately stomping on the floor and creating an electronic shockwave that paralyzed the three who attempted to attack him, electrocuting them and rendering them unable to fight. He just stood there with the same expression as Natsu turned his attention to him, intent on taking him out then and there.

"So, you've decided to return huh?" Natsu questioned, popping his knuckles as he angrily looked at Kyousuke. The latter continued to stand still, choosing not to move for it wasn't necessary.

"Yeah, that's right. Still as stupid as ever I see."

"What was that?!" Natsu questioned angrily, surprising everyone as Kyousuke went on.

"I was here listening to you fight with her; it seems she knows what she's talking about." Kyousuke said, putting Roxanne into a state of shock. Everyone else was also in shock, but not like Roxanne. "I know she used to follow me around and watch me struggle against those who fell prey to the school's stunt. You're no better, having become suckered in and letting your strings be pulled. How does it feel to be such a pawn, Natsu?"

"You want to say that to my face?!" Natsu angrily challenged, prompting no extreme reaction from Kyousuke, which angered him even more.

"I thought last time I told you to stay out of my life; did you forget?"

"Alright, I've had enough of this!" Natsu shouted angrily, charging for Kyousuke head on. "You're gonna pay for everything you've done!" Natsu yelled angrily as Kyousuke just stood there. Roxanne was quite worried, wondering what he may do as she was about to go after him. However, right before Natsu could land a hit onto Kyousuke, he was suddenly hit with an Iron Dragon's Club, sending him flying as the Iron Dragon Slayer walked in and took Kyousuke's side. Everyone looked at him in wonder as Natsu was sent flying into a wall, getting up afterwards and looking at him with the same expression. No shock, just wonder. Gajeel popped his knuckles in front of a shocked Roxanne as he had his attention focused on Natsu, ready to fight him again.

"Long time no see Salamander. How's things been?" Gajeel questioned with a grin on his face. Shockingly enough, he earned only a perplexed look.

"Who the heck are you?" Natsu questioned in surprise. Everyone else had the same look on their faces, surprising and annoying Gajeel.

"Come on Salamander, it's me, Black Steel Gajeel! We are in the same guild."

"Nope, nothing; don't ever remember you from before." Natsu said, annoying Gajeel even more. Kyousuke noticed and could tell that something was off.

"Do you think it might be a side-effect?" Kyousuke questioned, Gajeel agreeing.

"It's gotta be; there ain't no way this flame-headed moron doesn't remember me. It looks like we've got some extra work to do." Gajeel said in annoyance, walking with Kyousuke as the two walked through the school. No one tried to stop them; instead continuously staring at them as the two ignored it. Dealing with all the attention was not what they needed to focus on at that point in time, so they only ignored it. Roxanne, however, wasn't about to let them just walk by. She quickly jumped in-front of the two and stopped them, inflicting surprise within the two.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" She said, spreading her arms out as she stopped the two, both looking at her surprised. "I know something happened at the demonstration for Stealth Overdrive Kyousuke. Would I be right to assume that you passed the test?" Roxanne wondered. Kyousuke looked at her perplexed before Gajeel intervened.

"Yeah, he passed. The reason why we're here is because there's some crazy crap going on with your school." Gajeel explained, shocking Roxanne.

"Crazy crap?" Roxanne said in shock as Gajeel nodded. She knew there was something off. "It seems that my worries have been confirmed. There is something wrong with this place." Roxanne thought to herself shocked. The two were about to take off before Roxanne halted them again, going on a little bit more. "I've sensed something off for a while now myself. It may sound strange, but let me help you two out. Even Natsu isn't acting normal." Roxanne said in shock, convincing the two that Pantherlily's assertion was correct.

"We thought so." Gajeel said in response. Gajeel was about to take off, informing Kyousuke of such as he was being guided by Daniel. "I'm gonna take off and do a little bit of searching on my own. You go do yours." Gajeel explained as Kyousuke nodded. With that he took off, heading to his right and entering a set of doors that led elsewhere as Kyousuke turned his focus to Roxanne. Roxanne looked at him in surprise and wonder, continuously thinking of what he may do to her next.

"If you want to help, you can help me out." Kyousuke said as Roxanne nodded. She was willing to help him out if necessary.

"Alright, but let me take you to Erza. I've been telling her about everything strange that's been happening, and if you don't mind, she can be a very helpful teammate." Roxanne explained. Kyousuke wasn't opposed to the idea, having not gotten into any sort of hateful dilemma with her.

"Okay then, lead the way." Kyousuke said. With that the two took off, unknowingly followed by a strange group of wizards. Roxanne was happy that Kyousuke had returned, and she was surprised that he didn't hate her.

"I didn't think he actually made it into the group. Somehow though, he's changed. He's changed and has become….more….mature I guess." Roxanne thought to herself. She immediately shook her head as she continued to search. "No...not mature. It's more like…..healed?" Roxanne thought to herself. At that moment, she ran into the classroom in which Erza was sitting at a student desk doing some paperwork, catching her attention. "Erza! We've got a problem on our hands." Roxanne explained, unable to deter her sight from Kyousuke as a look of disbelief was plastered to her face.

"It's him!" Erza shouted. She was a bit defensive, but didn't engage him in combat. Roxanne was quick to step in and settle everything right then and there.

"It's okay; he's on our side!"

"On our side?" Erza questioned. She was a bit skeptical, but thanks to Roxanne having explained info about Kyousuke to her over the year, she wasn't resentful of him.

"You know that strange energy we've discussed?"

"Yes?"

"It apparently is an issue, and he's here to fix it."

"Is he?" Erza questioned. Before she could further question him, however, the group was ambushed by a group of wizards including Natsu, Dayton, Lucy, Gray, and Axel (his partner). Erza was in surprise. "What are all of you doing here?" She questioned in surprise. They didn't respond, however, more focused on Kyousuke and his "elimination".

"It's been determined that Kyousuke is a threat to us and the school. We've decided to eliminate him immediately." Gray explained, putting the three into a state of shock.

"Eliminate him?!" Erza questioned in shock, "But why?!"

"He's a threat Erza; you can't just let a threat run rampant throughout the school." Lucy said, set on eliminating him as well.

"Lucy?!" Roxanne questioned in shock, baffled at how even she could follow through with this. It was already clear to them to that there was something seriously wrong going on in the school.

"Lucy would never say something like that! Who are you?!" Erza questioned in shock, receiving a shocked look from Lucy.

"What are you talking about, I'm Lucy, duh!" She said in response, unable to convince her.

"You're lying! I can tell!" Erza shouted. Kyousuke, however, knew the whole thing all along.

"Hate to break it to you, but that's the real thing." Kyousuke explained, putting the two into shock.

"That's really Lucy and Gray and Natsu?!" Erza shouted in shock as Kyousuke explained.

"Yeah, but they're being brainwashed. That's why they're not acting normal." Kyousuke explained, unable to continue as Natsu immediately went to attack.

"It's time to end you here and now!" Natsu yelled, preparing to use his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist on him. Kyousuke, however, immediately blocked it, punching him in the stomach and immediately sending him flying back with his Electric Dragon's Pulse Wave. A blue pulse appeared on his stomach, electrocuting him and sending him flying into the others, resulting in one huge collision. During that time, Kyousuke pulled out his beam and prepared to use it.

"Grab onto me!" Kyousuke shouted, putting them into surprise.

"Grab onto you?"

"Just do it!" Kyousuke shouted, prompting them to immediately do so as Kyousuke then teleported out of the area. Using the beam, Kyousuke managed to teleport them into a ventilation passageway in the school, a safe area compared to the one they were in before. Kyousuke was quick to inform them of everything.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but let me tell you this: we don't have a lot of time. I'll explain everything I know so you understand what's going on, and then we can get started on a course of action." Kyousuke explained. Knowing that, both Erza and Roxanne remained calm as Kyousuke prepared to go into detail. He took a deep breath before explaining. "Well to start, the most important thing you need to know is that the school is being manipulated." Kyousuke explained, putting them into shock.

"Being manipulated?" Roxanne questioned in surprise. "By who?"

"The Xandolian Empire." Kyousuke explained, putting the two into shock.

"That wretched group has been manipulating the school?!" Erza questioned in shock as Kyousuke nodded.

"The worst part is that they've been doing it for a whole year now. They took out the guild-master and then proceeded to brainwash everyone in the school." Kyousuke explained. The two couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"That's explains a lot." Roxanne said calmly. Erza still wondered of certain things though.

"Everyone seemed like they were acting normal, so how would they be brainwashed?" Erza questioned, as Kyousuke thought into it.

"They're being brainwashed subconsciously. The empire sends in signals to indicate their next action, but it's done in a way that makes the wizards feel like they're doing it out of their own free will." Kyousuke explained. Erza was angry when hearing that.

"How despicable! To think that we've been having our strings pulled this whole time!" Erza said angrily, being upset over it as Roxanne couldn't believe it either. Roxanne, however, had thought of something that she hadn't thought of before.

"Hold on, if the school was supposed to be brainwashed, then how come the three of us aren't brainwashed? We're all from the same school, yet I don't feel a need to eliminate you." Roxanne explained. Kyousuke realized that was true and took a moment to think it over. It was thanks to his memory that he was able to find an explanation.

"Remember the day when the school had a 'gasoline leakage'?" Kyousuke remembered, prompting Roxanne to remember as well.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"That was the day everyone got brainwashed. The whole school was engulfed within some sort of yellow smoke, which contained the substance the empire was using in order to brainwash everyone. I wasn't there on that day, and neither were you two." Kyousuke explained, which the other two remembered.

"That's right." Erza said calmly. Suddenly, large explosions were heard outside of the vent, inflicting shock within the three.

"What the hell is going on?!" Erza questioned in surprise. Kyousuke could only guess what it could possibly be.

"The school is going on a rampage. They're destroying everything to find us." Kyousuke explained, and it was true. The entire cafeteria was completely demolished and everyone was going mad, even the lunch ladies. Natsu was wreaking havoc in the halls with Lucy and the others, desperately trying to find Kyousuke as the others did similar things. Kyousuke couldn't help but think of how ridiculous the whole ordeal actually was.

"And to think that this whole thing started because of my lack of a partner." Kyousuke explained. He couldn't believe as much as the others did. Erza looked at him in surprise, remembering all the problems that had arisen because of that, and especially how he had suddenly disappeared.

"He's been gone for a whole week, so he must've found someone." Erza explained, immediately asking him. "Tell me, who is your partner?" Erza questioned with a serious tone. She was intent on finding out, for there were many members of the guild that weren't at the school, which not only made her worry, but it also upset her. Roxanne looked at Kyousuke surprised, remembering the person he came in with earlier. The long, black, spiky hair and red eyes, coupled with a piercing expression that resembled Kyousuke's own. Kyousuke was quick to inform them.

"He's someone with an iron soul and an equally iron head." Kyousuke explained, Erza looking at him surprised. It couldn't be him.

"You don't mean...Gajeel…"

"Yep, that's him." Kyousuke said, putting Erza into a state of shock. Both Erza and Roxanne were surprised, but that wasn't all. "Not only that, but he's also the leader of the Stealth Overdrive force."

"What?!" They both shouted in shock. "So everything we've been hearing about the group is about him?!"

"That's right." Kyousuke said calmly. While Erza was surprised to hear it, she couldn't help but put a smile on her face as a result, crossing her arms at it.

"I wouldn't have expected any less from him. He is an Iron Dragon Slayer after all." Erza said whilst smiling. Seeing him as a leader made her feel proud of him somehow, and it was a good feeling.

As for that Iron Dragon Slayer, he was walking through a hallway within the school in search of that dagger. Having Kyousuke try to stop the brainwashing would be helpful in his quest for the dagger since it was such an important item to get ahold of.

"As long as he's focused on fixing the mess this school's in, I shouldn't have a problem getting to that dagger." Gajeel explained, continuing on. He eventually found himself in a small area containing a bunch of stuff, sort of like a storage area. It was dusty and dirty, had lots of stuff lying around and was overall quite messy. Gajeel just scratched the back of his neck upon noticing this mess. "It looks like I'll have to sort through all of this in order to get it." Gajeel said calmly. Daniel was on the headset with him, so he was able to help.

"It's in there alright; you'll have to do a bit of digging though. I'm not sure if the empire set it up to be like this or if this happened naturally, but the good thing is that it's there." Daniel explained. Gajeel was about to start sorting through it all until he came across something rather strange, hearing someone behind him.

"What do you think you're doing?" A male, domineering voice said. Gajeel and Daniel could already smell trouble heading their way.

"This doesn't sound good." Daniel said, Gajeel turning and noticing a larger, blonde male standing there with a stern expression on his face.

"Last time I checked, this area was off limits, so why don't you get moving and get the hell out of here? If you don't, things are gonna get ugly." The larger male told Gajeel, who was unfazed. The larger male stood there with yellow lighting emitting from his body, standing in a domineering fashion as Gajeel simply stared at him. He was surprised to meet him in here of all places.

"Well look who it is; it seems that Laxus decided to show up to the party." Gajeel said with a grin on his face. The two stared at each other with powerful expressions as Daniel was quick to do calculations. Luckily enough, Daniel was able to go through a process which allowed him to compare any opponent's strength to Gajeel's, which could be considered very helpful. Upon doing the calculations, he came upon a shocking result.

"This won't be the easiest of struggles; you're on the exact same caliber as he is." Daniel explained, providing much shock for Gajeel. Laxus still stood there in that domineering fashion still, ready to fight as Gajeel looked at him in surprise.

"Is that so?" Gajeel said with excitement, "I'll admit, he would've been able to wipe the floor with me in the past, but that ain't happening this time. This is gonna be one hell of a fight." Gajeel said whilst popping his knuckles. He was excited to fight Laxus on equal terms, especially since he had gotten much stronger. He was ready to put his skills to the test against the S-Class wizard, the latter preparing to take off.

"I warned you, now you're in for a world of pain!" Laxus shouted, taking off towards Gajeel as he stood there waiting for his attack. Gajeel would have one hell of a time fighting Laxus.

Back to Kyousuke, he was still in the vent with Erza and Roxanne, and it wasn't long before he got an important notice from Sophia, one of urgency.

"Kyousuke! You need to get out of there!" Sophia shouted. Kyousuke was put into confusion.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"Everyone is gaining up on you, and they're getting closer with every second. You better get out of there now!" Sophia urged, noticing how Natsu and his gang were getting closer to them with every passing second. Kyousuke decided to get out of there immediately.

"They're gaining up on us; we need to get out of here!"

"How do you know?!" Roxanne questioned, Kyousuke being quick to respond.

"It's through my headset, now let's go!" Kyousuke shouted pulling out his beam and having the other two grab onto him. With that he teleported once again, moving to another location. They managed to land in the opposite end of the school from where Gajeel was, allowing them to cover some major ground and get away from everyone. Kyousuke was quick with a plan, pulling out three tan balls and handing one of them to Erza and Roxanne respectively. "These are special devices that store special orbs that I call Brainerasers. Using them allows for you to erase the brainwashing mechanism behind the wizards and restore them to normal." Kyousuke said. Erza, of course, was a bit skeptical.

"Are you sure these work?"

"They've been tested, they work." Kyousuke assured. With that, the group decided to split up and take their own separate routes in stopping this madness. "If you manage to stop a group of people, continue find other groups of people. If you meet up with one of us, stick together and keep clearing out everyone, understand?" Kyousuke explained as the two nodded. With that, they took off, going after everyone ready to take them out. Kyousuke on his way to restore everyone to normal and Gajeel fighting Laxus while obtaining the dagger, where shall this go?
