The heroes soon found themselves landing in a very dark city where dirty clouds covered the skies and the city had a dirty feel to it. "So this is the Nest." Jexi said looking at it.
"This is where it ends, huh?" Eren said. "Then let's not waste any time."
He fired his Omnidirectional maneuvering gear and began moving across the city.
"Target's main base of operations is in that tower." Sycamore said pointing to the large tower in the center.
"Lets power through anything in our way and take them down once and for all!" Luffy said pounding his fists.
The others soon followed Eren in their own styles, Jexi paying attention to Eren's gear.
"So that's a 3D gear. Nice little machine." Jexi said before the group found their movements stopped by Regice and Gothorita.
"About time you showed up. Now with Regice here, you won't ignore me any longer." Gothorita said.
"So youre Regice, huh?" Natsu said. "Perfect. I can take down two of you."
But before Natsu could do anything, Gray shoved him out of the way. "Not so fast, pyro. I wanna have a crack at him."
"Perfect, considering you were gonna be my opponent anyway." Regice said. "I dont like the way King Articuno's acting, but if I've gotta fight, I'll at least do it with someone of the same type as me. But, can you really beat a legend like me?"
"I can try and keep up with Natsu." Gray said. "Wiess, you coming?"
"I thought you'd never ask. Guess I'll take on the nobody next to Regice." she said drawing her sword.
"Nobody?! That's the last time anyone looks down on me! I'm gonna make you pay for calling me that!" Gothorita shouted.
"Are you gonna get mad or fight? Ice Make: Lance!" Gray shouted as a lance of ice appeared in his hands.
"Both! Psyshot!" Gothorita shouted as a ball of psychic energy hurled towards Weiss.
Wiess spun a dial on her sword and twirled in the air, creating a Glyph. She then used it to launch herself at Gothorita. "Knew you'd start with that. Trick Room!" Gothorita said.
A cube of light surrounded the four combatants. "That move switches the properties of all attacks, be careful you two!" Snorunt said.
"We'll head over to Target's HQ. Catch up with us soon!" Jexi shouted as the rest of the group hurried.
The heroes didn't get far before Daemon dropped in front of them. "I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to ruin what I have planned." Daemon said. "I am the Great Demon Lord of Wrath, and you shall not pass by me!"
"Really? Then let's see how strong you are." Hiei said stepping up.
"Ha! You'll be changing your tune when my ability takes place." Daemon said.
"We'll leave this to you, Hiei!" Yusuke said.
"Just keep going. I can handle him." Hiei said.
The other heroes continued forward leaving the two staring daggers at each other.
"My rage shall cover you in darkness, boy." Daemon said. "Do you wonder why I chose to help Targent?"
"I think I can hear your final words." Hiei said drawing his famous katana.
"You see, some of us Demon Lords originally started life as humans. I happen to be one of them." Daemon said.
"Huh. Well, I'll be happy to send you to hell." Hiei said.
"One of us will lose, but it's gonna be you." Daemon grinned.
The heroes made it to the tower and marched upward in it. "I hope the others can win." Tails said.
"Dont worry, we've seen what Gray and Wiess can do." Kurama said. "And Hiei, well, he's always been pretty tough."
"Let's hope you're right." Jexi said as they fought Targent grunts on their way to the top.
Inside The Nest, all parties intersected at the final room. Inside was a small room with dozens of artifacts. Bronev stood in the middle holding the egg in his hands. "I was hoping you would come." he said.
Articuno was seen flying in from another entrance. "You will hand over the eggs to me, or I will punish you all."
The last to enter was flux with ElecMan. "Hand over the egg, Bronev and things won't get ugly." Flux said.
"Now now. Such violence from all of you. Now, I am willing to hand it over, but over a special game." Bronev said smiling. He placed down a table and twenty coins. "We have twenty coins before us. The least we can take is one and the most is three. Whoever is the last to take the remaining coins wins. Win, I give you the egg, lose and you have to give me something of my choice." Bronev explained.
"And what would that be?" Layton asked.
"For you, all the remaining eggs and the girl." Bronev said.
"Who's gonna take this challenge?" Hope said.
"I will." Jexi said stepping up.
"Now, your choice. Which of us will go first?" Bronev said.
"You can take the first move." Jexi said.
"Splendid." Bronev said as he started with two coins. The two continued to take coins until five were left. "Your move once more, hero." Bronev said.
"I'll take one." Jexi smiled taking one coin, leaving four.
"HA! Wait!" he said before realizing something. No matter how many he took, he would still lose. "How...did you know this?"
"I had to treat it like a puzzle. It's always the answer you least expect." Jexi grinned.
"NOOOOOO!" Bronev said, breaking down and dropping his egg.
"Thanks." Jexi said taking it before Bronev started laughing. "Now, for a serious offer. Work for Targent, or would you want something happening to these guys?"
He pushed a button showing a photo of a man with flaming red hair and a man with purple hair. "I know you know them. It's your choice." he grinned.
"We'll never work for you." Jexi said.
"Fine. Kill the-"
"That photo you have. It's five years old. You have no clue where they are." Jexi smiled as Bronev stopped.
"It's over, Bronev." Layton said.
"Not yet. I know where the legacy is. I just have to wait." he said leaving through a hidden door in the floor.
"We mustn't give anyone in this room the advantage. Everyone, protect Aurora while she produces the key!" Layton shouted. But before anyone could do anything, the eggs began to glow and transform, becoming a large key. Aurora held it in her hands before seeing visions of strange machine beings and fire all around. "No." she said before running out the room.
"That power is mine!" Articuno said.
"No, it's mine!" Flux said. "Elecman, after her!"
"On it boss!" he shouted following her out before stopping. "Crap! She's gonna jump!" he shouted.
"What?!" they all said before running out of the room to see her near the edge of the tall building.
"Aurora, what is the meaning of this?" Layton asked her.
"The legacy...it's not what you all think. It's something horrible." Aurora said.
"My kinda thing." Flux said, pulling out a device. "Now hand it over and I won't have to use it."
"No. I must end it all. The legacy must not be uncovered!" she shouted.
"I'll punish you when this is all over!" Articuno shouted. "Face me, my chosen hero!"
"Who do you want to kick your butt?" Luffy asked him.
"I'm glad you asked… come face me, Megaman!" Articuno said.
"Me, huh?" Mega Man asked. "Any particular reason why?"
"You have no fire abilities yet. Which makes this a perfect match up." Articuno said. "A one on one." he grinned.
"Two on one." Elecman said standing by Megaman.
"What? Elecman, why are you doing this?" Flux asked.
"Don't get me wrong. This isn't a betrayal. I just can't stand that smug birds system of chosen opponents." Elecman said.
"When this is all over, Elecman, I'll set you free from Flux, but first…" Mega man said scanning Elecman. "Thunder Beam acquired. Figured we could have the same play." Megaman said.
"Let's take care of this oversized turkey." Elecman said prepping himself.
"A battle for the Ice kingdom, a fight between demons, and a legacy that is never to be uncovered." Layton said. "This is truly… a battle on the edge of a cliff."
Back below, Gray and Weiss continued to battle with Gothorita and Regice as they tried to find a way to turn things around.
"With Trick Room still up, you two are easy targets." Gothorita said.
"She's right. And I have a feeling it won't come down till we beat her." Weiss said.
"I know. But I think I have an idea to turn things around." Gray said. "Ice Make: Floor!" he shouted covering the floor in ice.
"Ha! What good is that gonna do?" Gothorita said.
"How good are you with standing on ice?" Gray asked Gothorita before realizing what he meant.
"Ah… biscuits." She said before slipping.
"Now's your chance, Weiss! Finish her!" Gray shouted.
"Of course!" Wiess said, producing multiple circles. She then exhumed Dust from her sword, making the circles red like fire. "Just because you study an opponent, doesn't give you an advantage." Weiss said as fireballs were fired from the circles. "Ah No!" Gothorita shouted as the attacks hit her. She lied there defeated as the Trick Room vanished.
"Ah, dang. There goes my back up." Regice said. "No biggie though. Lock on!" Regice shouted as a target appeared on Gray. "With this move, I can make my next move a 100% hit. My most powerful move! Ice Beam!"
A blast of Ice was sent straight to Gray, freezing him solid. "Ha! So much for beating me, huh Ice boy?" Regice asked as the frozen Gray began to crack, and soon, he was freed.
"Guess you two didn't study up on us a bit more. I don't like being called Ice Boy. I'm an Ice Make Wizard. And you're about to learn what real cold is. Ice Make: Excalibur!"
A giant sword appeared as gray said this, he slid towards Regice with sword in hand. "If you think some book learning is gonna make a difference, think again!" he shouted, slashing through Regice.
"So, this is the power of Fairy tail." Regice said. "Guess it's all up to you now, Lord Articuno."
Regice then fell to the ground defeated. "Guess we should keep on going." Gray said moving forward before gasping, seeing Hiei on the ground defeated with Daemon standing over him. "Stupid fool. You're fate was sealed when you drew your sword." Daemon said.
"Bastard!" Gray said. He jumped at Daemon, only to be knocked back. "I've already wasted time with one fool, I needn't wasted it on another." he replied.
"Wait, you don't have a single injury. Why are you unharmed?" Weiss asked. "My ability: Joker's Twist. It allows me, to exchange my body's condition with the last person to attack me. That includes injuries and pain."Daemon said.
"Damn, so we cant do anything." Gray said.
"I need to leave anyway. Bronev should be making his way to Froenborg right about now." Daemon said.
"We.. are not done yet." Said Hiei, getting up.
"We are, loser. But before I go,a little tip. One of your comrades is not who they claim to be." he said before flying off.
"You okay, Hiei?" Wiess asked.
"I'm good, but I never saw him coming. One thing's for sure though, we will meet again, and I'll claim the Devil Arm he leaves behind." Hiei said.
"Someone is not who they claim to be? What did he mean by that?" Gray wondered.
Back at the Nest, Megaman and Elecman were hard in battle, doing their best against one of the three legendary pokemon of Kanto.
"Shadow Blade!" Megaman shouted.
"Electric Bomber!" Elecman shouted.
Both attacks only did as much as hit one of Articuno's wings. "I see. A teamup was not what I predicted." Articuno said landing. "But, I will still be victorious! Blizzard!" he shouted.
Ice buffeted the two robots.
"Ice Slasher!" Megaman shouted, cutting the winds away.
"Triple Current!" Elecman followed, shocking Articuno to no avail.
"Pathetic. Here comes the finishing blow, and your execution. The most powerful Ice-type attack in existence! Once this hits, there's no escape! Sheer Cold!" Articuno said as a cold wind kicked up, followed by a beam of ice, leaving a trail of icebergs.
"Only got one shot at this." Megaman said. "Here it comes…. now! Thunder Beam Times Two!" They both shouted firing the attack at Articuno.
The lighting beam overtook sheer cold and made it's way to Articuno. "No, impossible! I cant..lose. I'm...the ultimate strategist." Articuno said as he fell to the ground below, defeated.
"That's what you get for underestimating us." Mega Man said.
"Yeah. Books don't mean squat without experience." Elecman shouted.
"And now… to get rid of Flux's influence. Tails?" Megaman said.
"Huh? There's nothing controlling him." Tails said.
"Quite right. We all have free will. We make our own choices, not have them be made for us." Elecman said.
"Then join me, brother!" Ice Man said as he dropped down.
"You?" Elecman said before looking away. "No. I won't."
"Yes! Score one for the bad guys!" Flux said.
"I'm not staying with you either." Elecman said to Flux.
"What?" he asked.
"I need to be on my own for a while." Elecman said as he jolted away from the group.
"Guys!" Gray said as the others regrouped. "We beat the generals, but Daemon got away. He also told us one of us is not who he appears to be. Where's the eggs?"
"They fused into a key with Aurora has. She just gave it to Sycamore." Hope said, before seeing Sycamore laugh.
"Is something the matter?" Layton asked him.
"I say I win this round, wouldn't you agree Layton?" Sycamore asked him.
"It can't be." Jexi said as Sycamore pulled over a cape. His appearance soon changed to that of the masked scientist, Descole.
"Recognize me now?" he asked them.
"Descole!" everyone shouted.
"But I don't understand. Why?" Layton asked.
"Why what? Why did I take you with me all over the world? Why I had you collect all the Azran keys? Its all for one reason only. So I can accomplish my one goal." Descole said. "I'm going to destroy the Azran Legacy and bring down Targent." he grinned before jumping off with a hang glider coming out of his cape.
"We have to stop him before he gets away." Hope said.
"He's heading back to the Bostonius. We need to catch up with him." Emmy said.
"Descole…. I never thought he'd return." Hope said. "I'm going to bring us to him." Hope said using his ring.
The airfield, Descole slowly approached the Bostonius before spying the heroes. Hope placed them on the ground. Layton quickly grabbed a pipe and ran towards him. Descole drew his sword and blocked the attack.
"What are you planning? Descole, this is bigger than us both." Layton said.
"Why do you wanna destroy this legacy? Have you understood what it may do too?" Hope asked.
"You don't understand anything. The Azran Legacy is all I have to live for. It's my only form of revenge against Targent!" Descole shouted.
"Master!" shouted a voice. Descole turned to see Raymond piloting a biplane and flying towards him. Descole smiled as he jumped into the plane. "I'll be waiting Layton, at where all of this started."
"He's heading back to Froenborg, that's where the true Azran site is." Layton said. "We must hurry and catch up to him and Targent."
"Dont worry, Aurora, all of this ends today." Hope said.
