(Gray's pov)
'Great! I guess we're all going solo!'
"You should probably pay attention to your opponent", Lucy's clone also known as Death said as she inched closer to me.
"Hehe, I'd rather not fight a girl especially one that looks like one of my comrades"
"Well that's fine with me it'll just make it easier for me to kill you"
I gathered up energy and focused it on my hands. I created a giant ice cage to imprison Death.
It was the size of a giant boulder.
"I never said that I wasn't going to fight you"
"Hehe, charming"
BOOM!
A gigantic ball of fire burst from inside of the cage making my ice cage shatter into pieces.
"Did you really think that was going to hold me. You must be really stupid!"
'Tsk I was hoping for that to at least hold her for a couple of seconds so I could think of a plan'
"Now if we're done playing could you finally take me serious?"
"Is that what you really want?"
"It would at least make this fun"
"Have it your way….ICE CANON!"
"I'm getting tired of the same attacks!"
Death jumped away from my ice shot causing it to collide with a boulder behind her.
"You really are pathetic"
Death pulled out two daggers and charged at me.
"Let's settle this!"
"ICE SWORDS!"
'Bring it on!'
Once Death was in my range I swung both of my swords at her head. She ducked and tried to hit me with a counter attack, but I was too quick for her. I disarmed her with one swing of my sword. Her daggers went flying up in the air and out of our sight
"Impressive you managed to disarm me"
"Tsk I missed I was aiming for your giant head!"
"Hehehe flattery will get you know where"
She kicked me right in the groin making me wheeze. I lost all focus as I tried to take in deep breathes.
'Dammit! Can't move!'
"I'm surprised you actually have some down there!"
Since I was crouched down she landed a swift kick on my face.
Spit and blood flew out of my mouth as I landed on the warm sand below me.
"...UGH!"
"What's wrong don't tell me a little kick to your manhood was all it took"
She grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and proceeded to slap my face.
"Of course not!"
"ICE WAVE!"
A gigantic wave of ice surrounded me sending Death far away from me.
The sand around us started to freeze as black clouds started to form in the sky.
"Well that's something I haven't seen"
Death said as she cracked her back as she got up.
"Stop acting like this is some sort of game!"
"Hehe you're right I have to kill you, might as well get it over with now"
She pulled out two gigantic magnums. One of them was black while the other one was white.
"It's been fun"
'Finally she's taking me seriously! Now all I have to do is-
A white snowflake fell right in front of my face.
'Snow?! But how?!'
More and more snow started to fall from the black clouds.
'This is…'
A smile appeared on my lips.
'Perfect'
…
(Laxus's pov)
"Are you afraid of me now!", the person who looked like Gray yelled as he stared at all the snow.
"Big deal you made it snow how does that make me fear you", I said as I looked up at the black clouds in the sky.
"I will make you fear me!"
"BLIZZARD!"
A huge gust of wind started to blow in my direction. It tried to push me back but I planted both of my feet on the ground and withstood it.
"Feel the coldness!"
Snow started to mix with the wind making icicles hit my skin as I tried to stay put.
"How does it feel?! Knowing that I can control the weather!"
"Don't make me LAUGH!"
I shot three gigantic bolts of lightning at the clouds in the lightning merged with the clouds making them shrivel into small black dots.
"I can control the weather too"
"Can you really?! Let's see you control this!"
He made a minigun made out of ice appear out of thin air.
"DIE!"
The minigun's barrel started to spin. Once it was spinning fast it showered thousands of icicles towards me.
"So you want to have a gun fight? No problem"
"LIGHTNING GATLING GUN!"
All of my energy transformed into small golden bullets that flew out my hands. The bullets were made out of lightning which made them emit sparks towards his icicles.
We had created another storm, but this time it was a storm of bullets.
'Now's my chance he's distracted!'
'I hope this works I still haven't fully tried this out…..but here goes'
ZAP!
I was teleported in an instant right behind Gray's clone.
He was wide open, this attack would surely finish him off.
"ARRGGH! LIGHTNING FIST!"
I swung my right arm that was covered with my yellow lightning at the side of his head.
His head flew to the opposite side of my attack. But I wasn't going to let him go anywhere.
I gripped the top of his head with my left hand as I pressed hard on his skull.
'Need more POWER!'
"It's over for YOU!"
I blasted his skull with all of my remaining energy in me. His whole body trembled as it was engulfed with my lightning.
'More more MORE!'
ZTTTTT!
"ARRGHHH!"
Gray's clone vaporized into thin air. All that was left was black dust.
"I…. did it"
I let my body fall to the ground alongside the black dust of my enemy.
'One down….. three to go'
'You guys better win! I already did my part now it's just up to you guys'
And with that final thought I passed out.
…
(Natsu's pov)
"Dad?..."
My mind was frozen, I couldn't think straight. My insides felt like they were all twisted.
I was losing air, fast!
'Deep breaths Natsu'
My Dad just stood there in silence as he watched my crushed face.
He didn't say a word he just continued to stare into my eyes.
'Why won't he say anything?!'
"..."
"Natsu…..", he breathed out as he stared at the ground.
"I…..I didn't want you to find out"
"...Why?", my voice was barely a whisper.
"You should've just let me kill you! Why did you have to mess this all up!"
"Dad?..."
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
He sent a barrage of fireballs my way. I was still in shock I saw them coming at me but I couldn't move.
'How? HOW?!'
The fireballs collided with my skin, causing my flesh to catch on fire.
"ARRGHH!"
"I don't deserve to be called that anymore. Everything I've done to you!...everything I've said to you-
"THEN WHY?!"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL OF THIS?!"
"..."
"ANSWER ME!"
"...I don't have a choice…..I have to end this now!"
"DRAGON'S TEARS!"
He raised both of his hands towards the sky and let out a roar. The sky around us turned blood red as gigantic balls of fire came crashing down.
"STOP THIS! I CAN HELP YOU!"
"YOU CAN'T! MY FATE HAS ALREADY BEEN SEALED!"
"SHUT UP!"
I charged right in front of him embracing him into a ginormous hug. We both lost our balance and fell right into a pit of a cave.
It was perfect timing too because the gigantic fireballs burned the area behind us.
The place where we were standing just a few seconds ago burst into flames leaving nothing but burnt sand.
"Why do you keep fighting? WHY?!"
My pink bangs covered my eyes as I lowered my head into his chest.
"Because…..you are…...my Dad"
"..."
"Before I knew it was you under that mask I hated your guts. I really wanted to destroy you"
"They why did you want to see my face?!"
"Because…...I wanted to see the man that caused us so much trouble"
"..."
Warm tears started to flow down my cheeks and onto his face.
"But the man who caused all of this…...turned out to be…..my loving father…...my idol…...my BEST FRIEND!"
"...Natsu I-
"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
I punched him right in the jaw causing him to close his eyes in pain.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD THIS WHOLE TIME!...I JOINED THE ARMY BECAUSE OF YOU"
"I WANTED TO BE A HERO LIKE YOU!"
"But…...you're no hero that's why I…."
I pushed myself up and stared at his shocked face.
"Have to become one!"
