It's here everyone, chapter 11 and the last of the Phantom Lord Arc!

So, a bunch of questions regarding Vulcans and other creatures in the Fairy Tail Universe.

Some of the species MAY be able to be scanned into the Omnitrix. However, the species being scanned must be a SAPIENT species, meaning they have a higher amount of intelligence or other contributing factor, such as being able to speak and function in more advanced ways compared to Non-Sapient species that are more on the lower side of the civilized category.

And again, I won't use Alien X against someone like Jose. Alien X is literally a God, and can do anything. So using Alien X would ruin the fun of the story and overall would make it more boring and dissatisfying to the reader. If anything, he should only be used in the case of someone like Acnologia or someone else who poses a more universal threat.

And now that that's done with, welcome to the next chapter of the Null Fairy! Almost at 9k views!

And as always, I own nothing related to the subjects of Ben 10 or Fairy Tail. Please support their official releases, and happy reading to you all!


Chapter 11: -End of the Shadows-

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

"Iron Dragon's Club!"

The two Dragon Slayers attempted to collide with each other's fist, grazing one another. They then turned around, their legs swinging against each other with a loud sound of impact. Backflipping, Gajeel then launched his pole arm at Natsu. The pink head then leaped up and somersaulted, shortly kicking him in the face in response. Gajeel grunted as he then attempted to swipe at Natsu. The fire mage cautiously dodged, noticing something different as he landed and narrowed his eyes.

"The hell is that?" He growled.

Gajeel then pointed his arm out, revealing it to be a spiked sword. "The Iron Dragon's Sword!" He answered.

The sword's jagged spikes then began to rotate rapidly. "Better watch out Salamander, if you don't want to be torn to shreds!" He warned as he grinned. He then gave off a menacing laugh as he leaped towards him, lifting his sword arm up.

Natsu then leaped back a few feet, Gajeel's attack slamming into the ground and causing collateral damage to the tiles as chunks of them blew up. Gajeel continued to swing his arm, Natsu narrowly dodging it as he continued to leap away. Gajeel's attack began to decimate the room from the collateral damage as the two continued to fight.

"HA! What's wrong, not laughing anymore?" He taunted.

Dodging one more time, the two stood at a standstill. "Quite a nimble fairy I'll give ya that." Gajeel complimented. Natsu grunted. "You're no slouch yourself metal freak." He replied.

Gajeel then reverted his arm. "But we still have to settle the score from the other moment. No time like the present now is it?" He asked. Natsu growled in response.

A magic circle then appeared under Gajeel's feet, his body encased in an aura. His skin then started to become metal and scale-like. Happy then came up and gazed at him in shock along with Lucy.

"Dragon Scales!" Happy yelled.

Gajeel then grinned. "Ready fairies?! Feel the wrath of a Iron Dragon Slayer donned in his Iron Scales!" He yelled, launching himself forward. Natsu crossed his arms to block as Gajeel then rocked his arm back.

"Iron Dragon's Hard Fist!"

The moment his fist touched Natsu, a magic circle flickered, activating the spell and dealing damage to Natsu as he was pushed back harshly. He was flung backwards until he crashed into a wall, the Dragon Slayer falling down and landing on his back as he grunted. Gajeel then walked up, his face obscured as his eyes glowed. Natsu clenched his arm as a large bruise appeared.

"Hearing you crashing into that wall was like music to my ears…!" He said.

He then proceeded to pummel Natsu with a series of punches. After a few of them, Natsu proceeded to dodge a kick from him, the force of his attack causing a crashing wind of damage to the ground as it kicked over. Natsu then spun around, socking a fire fist into Gajeel's face. Gajeel just stood there as he grinned, no damage shown whatsoever.

"Hate to break it to ya, but your puny punches can't scratch me for squat!" He growled. Natsu's eyes widened in pain as he screamed, his fist still steaming from the collision.

"He's got indestructible armor and deadly metal attacks?!" Lucy quirked.

Happy then squeaked in fear. "That's Iron Dragon Slayer Magic for ya!" He answered as Natsu rolled around in pain as he yelped comically.

"This doesn't hurt at all! OW! OH! Aha-ow!" He yelled pathetically. Rolling over to Gajeel, the iron scaled wizard growled. "Quit the act fairy scum!" He ordered, slamming his head on Natsu's, making his crash into the ground. He then attempted to punch him as Natsu leaped back a few meters as he dodged.

Natsu then glared at him. "Alright then you heap of garbage, time for you to get blasted away!" He declared. He then proceeded to open his mouth, Gajeel doing the same.

"Fire Dragon's…"

"Iron Dragon's…"

The two began to inhale a large amount of air, their respective magic circles flickering as they aimed their faces.

Lucy then backed up. "A breath attack like Natsu?!" She shouted. Happy then slumped down as he covered his head. "Brace for impact!" Happy warned. The Dragon Slayers then opened their mouths.

"ROAR!"

A torrent of red flames blasted out Natsu's mouth as a torrent of gray metal came out of Gajeel's. The two Roars then collided with each other, massive amounts of rubble and dust clouds building up as Lucy and Happy were blown away. The impact caused an explosion that blew up the room, a large dust cloud blasting out of the titan's upper torso.

The clouds dissipated, showing a pained Natsu and a smiling Gajeel. "Well now, quite a few differences between us fire and iron dragons huh? You can keep using that fire of yours, but it won't break through my armor. On the other hand, just one of my Roars teared your worthless body to shreds!" He shouted as he grinning confidently.

Natsu then smirked. "You sure you're not wrong, not feeling a draft or anything buddy?" He said.

A crack in his armor then appeared, causing the iron mage to gasp slightly as his eyes widened. He then placed a hand on the cracked part of his face as Natsu tore his coat off, leaving only the lower part hanging below his belt. His body then became engulfed in flames as he gestured his hand over.

"The Fire Dragon's Roar can blast through anything! But enough with that, let's get serious now! I'll shatter your body to pieces!" He said, challenging Gajeel. The iron mage glowed a light green aura as he laughed.

"Let's GO then!" He answered.

Happy and Lucy then stood up. "Yep, they're both Dragon Slayers that's for sure!" He remarked.

The two then took their stances.

"Black Steel… Ready when you are."

"There ain't enough room for TWO Dragon Slayers, so you're going down Salamander!"


-Back with Erza and the others-

Erza swung her sword again at Jose, who dodges and leaps away, firing another blast of magic. The redhead dodges as the spell explodes at a distant area. Elfman and Gray groaned as they got up, shaking their heads as they then eyed the fight between Erza and Jose. She then glances back at the two before focusing back on her foe.

"I suspect you two won't try to just muscle through this fight now I presume?" She spoke with a mockingly laid back voice. The two sweatdropped as they nodded. "Yes..." They answered, walking up next to her. Erza then smirked. "Now then, shall we boys?" She asked, the three taking their stances.

Echo Echo and Mira watched the three begin to fight Jose again. He then turned his head around, facing Mira. "Mira, let me join the fight!" He said.

Mira looked down at the small humanoid as she shook her head. "No Ben, it's too dangerous." She refused. He then smirked. "Don't worry. I've faced worse enemies than him before, and I've survived and won. So come on Mira." He asked again.

Mira looked at him hesitantly, before closing her eyes. "*Sigh* Alright then Ben, but please, don't die out there!" She then ordered, placing him on the ground.

Echo Echo then gave her a thumbs up before turning around. "Got it!" He replied, before dashing forward.

He then narrowed his eyes at Jose as he ran. "Everyone, back away and cover your ears!" He shouted out. The three then looked at him in confusion for a bit, before doing as he said and leaping back, covering their ears. Jose then looked at the small creature as he tilted a brow.

"Oh? And what are you going to do little man?" Jose taunted. Echo Echo then smirked, before stopping in front of him and duplicating around the guild master. Jose's eyes widened at the Sonorosian ability before looking around himself. The Echos then inhaled, before opening their speaker like mouths.

"Chamber of... Sound!"

The Echos blasted out an ear-killing sonic blast from their mouths, the waves of sound circling Jose who began to cover his ears as he went down on a knee, growling in pain.

"Grr... what... is... this?!" He croaked.

After a few more moments, the attack ended, leaving Jose in a slight daze as the others uncovered their ears.

The Echos then turned to them. "Now everyone, while he's still down!" They yelled in unison.

The three then proceeded to attack once. Erza attempted a sword swipe as she flew onto Jose, with Gray and Elfman in tow.

"Ice Make: Lances!"

"Iron Bull: Metal Crusher!"

As Gray and Elfman began their attacks, Jose roared. He then released a burst wave of magical energy that blew the others back. Growling, he stood up, his hand on ear as he glared at Echo Echo.

"Clever little trick... but that won't happen again though!" He growled out, the Sonorosian glaring back.

"Guess it's gonna take more than that…" Echo Echo remarked.


-Back with Natsu and others-

As the two exchanged blows again, a loud sound was heard from a distance away. Natsu then stopped attacking as he turned around to see where the sound came from. His eyes widened in horror as he witnessed the destruction of the Fairy Tail guild hall, with Lucy and Happy doing the same. Gajeel laughed evilly as he placed his hands on his hips.

"HAHA! About time your crummy little guild hall got destroyed! What a shabby place!" He badmouthed.

Natsu's face went into a blank but angered state, his mind beginning to dwell back to his memories of the guild hall as he and the members on the ground floor stared at the rubble that used to be the guild.

Memories of him first entering the guild when he was young, meeting and fighting Gray for the first time. Meeting with Erza and developing his fear of her. And one of his most important memories, his time with Lisanna as the two of them helped to hatch Happy out of his egg. Remembering the day that Lisanna never came back from the S-Class mission, making a gravestone in front of their makeshift tent where they helped nurture Happy's egg. All of his memories flashed forward until it reached the present, in which he then met Lucy.

Still in his angered but blank stare, he turned around, slowly walking towards Gajeel, who in turn began to beat him up.

Lucy cried out in terror. "Oh, if only he had fire to eat... fire… maybe!" She said, an idea developing in her mind. She then took a out a golden key from her pocket.

"I haven't sealed an official contract since I've obtained you from Galuna Island, but please... lend me your strength!" She pleaded.

Swiping the key out, she the pointed it in the air, before thrusting it out and turning her wrist, as if opening a lock.

"Open, the Gate of the Archer: Sagittarius!"

From her hand motion a yellow magic circle appeared. It widened before it flashed, producing a door bell like sound as the circle released a plume of bright smoke. Flickering, the circle dissipated, a figure coming out of the smoke, enveloped in a layer of light.

As the smoke and glow vanished, the figure was revealed to be a black haired man in a horse suit. He wore a green shirt that went over a white shirt that had a collar and purple a ribbon tie around his rest of his attire consisted of white and red striped shorts. He held a large bow in his hand along with a large quiver around his back. It was Sagittarius, one of the Twelve Zodiac Celestial Spirits. The horse man turned around as Lucy's face perked up in delight.

Giving him a smile, Lucy introduced herself. "Hey there, my name is Lucy Heartfilia!" She said cheerfully.

Sagittarius nodded as he saluted her. "Hello to you as well. You are my new master? Very well then, I am Sagittarius the Archer! Pleased to make your acquaintance my lady!" He replied in a formal tone as the two then turned around.

"So, can you shoot fire?" Lucy then asked. Sagittarius blinked. "No. However, I can help start a fire instead! I myself cannot shoot fire, but it does not matter if it is myself as long as it is produced it seems!" He replied.

He took an arrow from his quiver, aiming it towards the Natsu and Gajeel as the iron mage prepared his deathblow. Hitting a bunch of machinery with several arrows, they began to spark and eventually explode, pushing away the two of them, causing a massive fire to sprout.

Lucy held her mouth in awe. "You found a way to make fire!" She joyfully said.

Sagittarius spun his bow. "Depending on the force that one applies when one fires an arrow and the trajectory of said projectile, piercing through steel is possible." He explained.

Lucy looked at him in amazement. "You're like a archer genius!" She cried out. Sagittarius then saluted again. "Well, I aim to please!" He punned.

The flames then began to move into Natsu's mouth as he began to suck them up. Swallowing them all up, Natsu sighed, before lifting his face up and giving the pair a thumbs up.

"Ah, just what I needed! Thanks Lucy, you too horse guy!" He said with a grin. Gajeel then began to charge him. "Eat all the fire you want, I'm still gonna crush you!" He yelled as he leaped up and swung his fist.

Natsu snarled at him as he turned around. "Lay off metal face!" He said, uppercutting Gajeel with a renewed flame fist, launching him off into the air and making him crash into the wall, cracking it as he sticked onto there for a bit, before falling down.

Natsu then clenched his fists. "Jet, Droy, Levy, Lucy, Gramps… everyone. Fairy Tail…" He muttered. Gajeel stood up as he inhaled.

"Iron Dragon's Roar!"

Gajeel released another roar. Natsu's eyes flickered as he held his palms out, catching the attack barehanded and nullifying it.

Gajeel gasped. "He deflected my Roar, and with his bare hands!" He yelled in shock.

Natsu's face was obscured as his eyes glowed a familiar red. "I don't know how many others you need to hurt 'til you're satisfied, but that's gonna end now…" He announced. Gajeel bit his mouth in disbelief.

"Impossible, he's just fairy scum!" He said hesitantly. Natsu's eyes then contracted as his body was engulfed in flames. Sagittarius then smirked as he vanished in a poof of smoke.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR YOUR ACTIONS! MESSING WITH MY FRIENDS AND FAIRY TAIL WAS THE WORST MISTAKE YOU'VE MADE!"


-Back Outside-

Though the guild hall was destroyed, this only made the fairies even more angry as they began to fight harder than ever. Alzack shot another phantom as he went back to back with Bisca, the both of them both covered in dirt and injuries, but still in the heart of the battle.

"They may have destroyed our guild hall, but this fight ain't over yet!" He yelled.

The other fairies roared in agreement as their morale rose once more, beginning another round with the phantom foes…


-Back with the Dragon Slayers-

Natsu's rage grew as he stepped forward. Now a few meters away from Gajeel, his fists were then lit with brilliant red flames.

"Your biggest mistake was messing with our guild!" He roared.

Gajeel, now out of his daze, powered up himself. "The only mistake I made was not killing you sooner!" He retorted as he then launched himself towards Natsu.

"Iron Dragon's Hard Fist!"

"Fire Dragon's… Iron Fist!"

Natsu's flames flew off as his fist collided with Gajeel's. A moment later, their magic circles appeared, activating their spells. Gajeel's scales then began to crack and fracture, shocking the iron mage.

"No! Impossible! I'm the strongest!" He said as his eyes widened in disbelief. Natsu's magic power surged off his body as he roared.

"This is it! You're through Black Steel!" He roared, his arms now condensing a large amount of magic energy.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art! Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist!"

Natsu then began to launch a continuous barrage of crimson red flame fists, each punch producing an explosion. Gajeel's eyes blanked out as he continued to get pummeled by Natsu's attack, eventually destroying his scale armor and destroying the titan itself from all the devastation. Large explosions blew out from the titan's torso as Gajeel was launched outside the room, screaming as he did so.

The members of Fairy Tail cheered in joy as they recognized the bright light that was their Fire Dragon Slayer. The titan's head fell, falling into the lake and making a large splash as it did so.

Happy carried Lucy by her back as the two of them shouted out for Natsu. Spotting the two Dragon Slayers on the edge of the room, they floated by him as he grinned at them, now falling down onto his back as he sighed in relief…


-Back with Erza-

The room was beginning to tremble as a result of Natsu and Gajeel's fight.

Jose snickered as he looked up. "My my, what an unruly Dragon you all have." He said.

Erza and Echo Echo stood against him, both of them panting.

"He may be unruly, but he's still a powerful wizard." Erza remarked, Echo Echo nodding in agreement.

Zooming out, Gray, Elfman, and Mira were down a few meters away.

Erza took another stance as she breathed sharply. "If anything I'd say he's just as powerful as me, stronger even." She remarked again.

Jose chuckled as he crossed his arms. "Now now, no need to be so modest Titania. Your magic is just as intriguing as Salamander's. You are the first to last this long against me in the heat of battle, well, you and your little pet there." Jose quirked.

Echo Echo's face twitched. "I am NOT a pet!" He retorted.

Jose blinked as he turned his face back to Erza. "I'd say that if you were at your full power you'd be almost matched to me if you hadn't involved yourself in other affairs." He complimented.

Jose then closed his eyes. "You know the one thing that irritates me about Fairy Tail? It's that wizards as strong as yourself side with Makarov!" He then said, opening his eyes and holding his arm out in a fist

. He then flicked his finger, pushing a wave of concentrated air that blew Erza into a wall. Echo Echo looked back in concern, before glaring at Jose.

"Since you can't be tempted to join Phantom, there's only one way for you to go…" He muttered.

He released his fist, each of his fingers firing off an energy blast and creating dust clouds. Erza then rose out of the rubble and flew up as Jose began to shoot her continuously. The scarlet warrior dodged his attacks as she flew around the room.

Jose then growled. "If I kill you, it'll be sure to send that old coot into the depths of despair… His guild hall destroyed, his 'family' torn apart! He'd be dead inside and out!" He murmured.

Erza and Echo Echo attacked simultaneously, Jose zooming away and reappearing elsewhere.

"Phantom was at the top. The strongest wizards, the most capital and members… but then Fairy Tail came into the picture. The names Erza, Laxus, and Mystogan were heard wide and clear. The stories of the Salamander started to spread like flames, and know Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail are considered equals by the public… We can't have that now can we?"

Erza's expression turned to rage as she attempted to swipe at him again. He leaped back and landed on a piece of rubble.

"So this is all because of jealously?!" Erza sneered at her. "Jealously? Such an absurd idea, we wanted to prove to the kingdom that Phantom Lord is the dominant guild!" He explained.

Erza then roared as she began a flurry of sword swipes. After dodging for a bit, Jose leaped back and drew a circle.

"Shade Entangle!"

The circle launched a flurry of ghosts that began to twirl around Erza. Squeezing her tightly, they began to emit electricity, causing her to shriek in pain as she dropped her sword. Echo Echo growled as he began to run towards him.

"JOSE! LET HER GO!" He demanded.

Echo Echo duplicated rapidly. The clones held onto one another as he used them as a whip. Swinging the Echo chain at him, the Echo Echo on the end kicked him in the face, freeing Erza as she landed and slumped on the ground. Jose was launched back a few feet as he tumbled. Lifting his head up and growling, he bounced himself up.

"And you! You little whatever you are, you are a pain in my bottom!" He shouted.

Echo Echo then chuckled. "What, because you got hit in your bottom?" He taunted.

Jose remained silent for bit before grumbling a bit, briefly holding his assets in discomfort. Echo Echo then blinked.

"Oh. Uh, sorry about that." He said. Jose responded by shooting another blast, destroying the Echo chain. "And now you are next!" He growled.

Echo Echo smirked. "Let's see about that then!" He said, pressing the Omnitrix dial. The bright light caused Erza and Jose to cover their eyes. "Ben!" Erza yelled in concern as she tried to look.

In a flash, Echo Echo was replaced with a large and bulky planetary humanoid creature that had green eyes. It had rocky skin and a large mouth. In the center of its body was a molten planet core and it wore a uniform that consisted of a black sleeveless shirt with green stripes, and black shorts with gray and green stripes. The Omnitrix dial was located on its forehead, with the Fairy Tail mark now displaying itself as a green rock on its left shoulder.

As the flash dissipated, both of the mages gazed at this new form in shock. Its sheer size made Erza's jaw lower slightly, with Jose's eyes widening in surprise.

"A Take-Over Mage? What creature is this?" Jose then inquired.

Ben then smirked as he rocked his fist back. "A creature that you won't be able to recognize after it beats you senseless!" He retorted, knocking him away.

The man grunted as he back flipped mid air, leaping away a few feet in conjunction to the momentum that he was given.

Jose then grinned menacingly. "And a full-body Take-Over at that! Much more skillful than that presumed 'Beast-Arm Elfman'!" He said, mocking Elfman.

Ben then cracked his knuckles as his eyes narrowed down at him. "Your only concern is with your selfish desires. You don't deserve that medallion of yours!" He retorted, pointing at said medallion. Jose then grinned.

"Alas, another gifted mage involved with the dirt that is Makarov... A shame that I will have to destroy you!" He yelled. He then struck out his arm.

"Darkness Barrage!"

Several magic circles flickered as they launched a barrage of ghosts at Ben. The large alien proceeded to block them as they exploded on contact. Erza then stands up, looking at the explosion in worry.

"Ben! Are you alright?!" She asked worriedly. Her answer came as Ben appeared unharmed when the smoke cleared up. Jose's eyes widened a bit, before drawing more circles. "Let's see if you can survive this then!" He yelled.

"Ethereal Phantom!"

The circles merged into one as it glowed a dark purple. Soon after, a large cloaked phantom emerged from it and charged at Ben. Erza's eyes widened as Ben just stood there.

"Ben what are doing, get out of the way!" She ordered.

The Galilean then smirked as he held out an arm. "Don't worry Erza, just a Gravattack to handle a large thing like that!" He said, a green glow of hazy light encasing Gravattack's hand.

The phantom was then pulled down onto the ground, shaking the place up a bit as it crashed. Jose yelled in disbelief. "WHAT?! Impossible!" He yelled. Erza blinked a few times. "Gravity?" She asked.

Gravattack turned his face around as he snapped his fingers. "Bingo!" He answered, now spinning his arm around.

The phantom roared as it began to spin around Gravattack. "Now then Jose, why don't you have a taste of your own medicine?" He then said, now using both of his arms.

The phantom began to spin faster and faster around him until it almost became a blur. Now thrusting his arms out towards Jose, the phantom charged and collided with him at blinding speed, launching Jose into a wall and causing a massive crashing sound to be heard.

Gravattack then walked over to Erza. "You alright Erza?" He asked, helping her up. She nodded as she stood up with the support of Gravattack, looking over at the others.

"We should get the others out of here. At this rate, this entire place is going to come crashing down on us!" She said.

Gravattack nodded, lifting his arms as he grabbed hold of the Gray, Elfman, and Mira, moving them towards the exit part of the room. He also grabbed Erza, who gasped a bit before looking at him.

"Ben? What are you—" She asked. Gravattack then looked at her. "You're hurt Erza, you can't keep fighting like this. I'm going to take you— OW!" He yelled, dropping her accidentally.

Gravattack took a step forward due to a newfound pain in his back. The Galilean turned around, the two now looking a very pissed off Jose, whose eyes were now pitch black as his pupils were now contracted in a dull yellow color.

Jose then roared as his magic power surged from his body. "You foolish miscreant! You have made a TERRIBLE mistake! For that, you shall pay with your very lives!" He shouted, firing a large beam.

Gravattack quickly tried to block it, but it was too late as he was hit directly in his core, causing him to get launched back a few feet as he was lifted into the air.

Landing with a loud thud, Gravattack groaned as he held his core, which began to glow. He then gasped as he stood up, looking at it.

"Aw man, why'd you have to go and do that for?" He asked.

Jose spat on the ground. "What are you talking about you foolish creature? Bah, it doesn't matter. DIE!" He yelled.

"Pulsing Void!"

Jose struck his arms out as a large magic circle flickered, launching a massive beam of energy then looked over at Gravattack.

"Ben?!" She shouted.

Gravattack grunted. "Ugh, I got this!" He said, slapping the dial on his forehead.

In another flash, he was replaced with a thin crystalline humanoid creature. It's body was made of purple rock with black lines and spots. Its arms and face were magenta, with six shards sporting on its back, two on its chest, and a single long one on his head. Its face had a mouth and a single large green eye, with the Omnitrix dial on its chest, and the Fairy Tail mark on its left shoulder.

"Chromastone!" The crystal alien shouted out.

Chromastone then held his arms out as he clenched his fists. The spell then made direct contact with his body, the Crystalsapien beginning to absorb it into himself with mild discomfort. After the attack ended, an aura made of ultraviolet rays surged from his body as he then concentrated it to his palms. Holding them out, a large ultraviolet beam was channeled outwards towards Jose.

The guild master retaliated with another Pulsing Void, only now he added more power to it. The beams stood at a stand still for a moment, before Jose's began to overpower his. Chromastone grunted as he was beginning to get pushed back.

Jose then started to laugh. "HAHAHA! Take this you crystal freak!"

Chromastone began to get pushed back more and more. "Urgh, can't last much longer!" He grunted. A familiar hand was then placed on his shoulder as he turned his face.

"Erza?" He said.

Erza gave him a weak grin as she began to surge her own magic power into Chromastone. "Go, use this to take him down!" She ordered. Chromastone grinned as he turned back, his beam becoming larger. His ultraviolet beam then began to push Jose's back.

"What?!" He yelled.

Jose began to grunt as Chromastone's attack came close to nearing its mark. Eventually, his spell was overpowered as the beam then exploded. Chromastone then went down on a knee as he panted a little. Erza patted his shoulder as they gave each other a thumbs up.

"Well done Ben." Erza commented.

Before the two could celebrate however, a familiar trail of ghosts spawned from the dust cloud, wrapping the two up and strangling them. Chromastone's guard was down for a bit so he was unable to absorb them. Jose then came out of the smoke as he held his arm out with a magic circle. He then began to laugh manically.

"I have you two brats now!" He yelled, constricting the two harder and causing them to scream in pain.

"I'll have you know that despite my hating of your guild, it isn't you who triggered my motive for this war Titania! You see, we were hired by the patriarch of the Heartfilia family to find his missing daughter." He began to explain as the two grunted again.

"That child is related to one of the kingdom's most wealthiest men, and is now in Fairy Tail... so I see Makarov is trying to buy his way to the top now is he?!" He raged.

The two glared at him as the pain continued to make them groan in discomfort.

"Now that your guild has access to the wealth of the Heartfilia family fortune, it's only a matter of time, but what would happen if I wiped YOU OUT?!" He suggested, placing more force on his spell and causing them to scream again.

Chromastone then began to snicker, causing Jose's expression to turn to surprise.

"It's funny how much you don't know Jose!" Chromastone mocked. Erza joined in. "You're concerned over something like your guild's ranking! But I'm more amused by your misinformed state about Lucy!" She said.

"What?! What do you mean Titania?!" He yelled in question.

"She came to Fairy Tail as a runaway, with no access to her family's fortune!" Chromastone answered. "She rents a place for 70,000 jewels a month, and works hard to pay for rent!" Erza added.

"She fights with us, laughs with us, cries with us! She's no different than any other member in our guild!" She then shouted.

"She may be the daughter of the Heartfilia family, but that doesn't mean that she could've chosen her destiny! You know nothing of her, so shut up!" Chromastone yelled along with her.

Jose's face then turned to one of sadistic intentions.

"Well then, I'll find out soon enough!" He said, pumping more energy, causing Erza and Chromastone to start breaking apart, Erza's armor and Chromastone's body.

"I'm not just going to hand her over to her daddy without some sort of benefit to my side. I'm going to hold her hostage until he meets my demands!" He said with a cruel tone.

The two continued to scream in pain as they cursed him with words. Jose laughed as he used his other hand to initiate a drain spell, causing more damage.

"I'll make an example of you two for your guild mates! Now, prepare to die Titania, and you as well you abomination!"


-Outside-

The sky filled with the dreadfulness that was Jose's Shade Magic began to clear up, the dark clouds circling on top of the titan now returning to normal. The people of Fairy Tail began to look up in awe.

"It's him… he's back!" Alzack yelled in joy.

"Is it really him?! I thought he was still in Porlyusica's care!" Macao said.

"Nope! He's back, and ready to kick Jose's ass once and for all!" Cana screamed out happily.


-Back to Jose and the others-

The sudden light banished Jose's hold on the two as a regenerative aura surrounded Erza and Chromastone. The two looked at themselves as they began to heal. Erza then looked up in disbelief.

"What…? But how?" Erza asked as her eyes widened.

"I don't know… but we shouldn't be complaining about this!" Chromastone quipped.

As the two floated down, Jose then looked up behind them, his eyes squinting at a figure floating in the light. He then began to grin as the figure landed on top of some higher rubble. Erza and Chromastone turned their backs to witness their guild master standing above them.

"Master Makarov…" They muttered in surprise.

Makarov's eyes opened as he looked at everyone.

"...You have shed the blood of our children, and that is unforgivable. They have been made to suffer from the incompetence of their parents... so we are both to blame, Jose. However, this war has gone on long enough, SO LET US END IT HERE AND NOW!" Makarov challenged.

Jose accepted his challenge with a dark grin as their magic power surged. The two's magical power began to shake the very room, as if it were trembling in fear before their power.

Erza and Chromastone stared in awe before their attention focused back. They ran to the others and picked them up and then started to move everyone out of the titan and back to Magnolia Town…


-Back in East Forest-

Porlyusica stood at the footsteps of the her home as containers of apples and other goods laid. She held her broom as she looked up, the wind flowing.

'The fear of the trees, the earth, the air… I feel it all. And this is exactly why I…' She mused, before going on a rampage, kicking over a box as she swung her broom around in comical anger.

"I HATE HUMANS! THEY'RE SO DIM-WITTED AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SOLVE A PROBLEM WITHOUT VIOLENCE! MAKAROV YOU DUMB OLD MAN!" She raged.

An apple that fell out of the container rolled to a foot wrapped with bandages. The figure then picked up the fruit as Porlyusica turned over in slight surprise as the person sat on the trunk of a tree.

"Mystogan…" She said dumbfounded.

Mystogan then held the apple up. "Mind if I have this?" He asked.

She then narrowed her eyes. "I was wondering how the old geezer managed to recover so quickly. You went around and gathered Makarov's lost magic, so now it all makes sense." She analyzed as Mystogan took a bite out of the apple.

"I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD EAT THAT!" She retorted.

Holding the apple out, Mystogan looked up. "This war will be over soon." He bluntly said. Porlyusica looked up at this face. "I've nothing to do with this violence between loathsome humans, but aren't you one of Makarov's? Shouldn't you be supporting your guild?" She then asked.

Mystogan then pulled something from his pocket and threw it into the air. The medic's eyes widened as it was revealed to be the flags of the various branches of Phantom Lord.

'All of these flags… He must have overthrown every single branch in the entire kingdom!' She mused in amazement.

Mystogan then leaped off the tree, landing on the ground and taking a few steps. He then picked up another apple. "Mind if I take this for the road?" He then asked.

Her face then twitched. "You are going to clean this mess up aren't you?" She retorted again.

She then sighed as she turned to another direction.

"I will never understand humans. Thirsting for power, finding themselves at war all the time… They forget how much pain and sorrow they bring with them when they do their foolish acts. All that matters to them is victory…" She said, closing her eyes.

Mystogan took another bite. "I believe there is a way to save them from that pain and sorrow somewhere in the world. A sacred light which guides us all." He said, looking at his apple…


-Back with Makarov and Jose-

The two began to blast each other with spells as they flickered around the room. Jose struck his arm out as a circle launched out tendrils of shadows at Makarov. The old man clapped his hands together and spawned three circles which blocked the attacks from all directions.

Jose then grinned as his eyes widened, spawning another two circles that launched more ghosts. Makarov grunted as a vein popped on his forehead, his circles expanding as they were resisting the spell. As the two withstood each other, their attacks blasted them back as they spun around, landing on the ground. Jose then rocked his hands back as magic power was beginning to concentrate into them, with Makarov revealed to have drawn a magic sequence as they landed, now glaring at Jose.

"Dead…" He started, the two beginning to charge up their magical power. Makarov then swung an arm back as a flicker of light began to glow on his finger.

"I thank you my children, I could not have done this without you. Bless you all that you are proud to be members of FAIRY TAIL!" He yelled.

The two masses of energy sparked as nature itself began to suffer from their power. A transparent sphere of energy enveloped the titan as a massive amount of water swirled around it, the twisting clouds now thundering around the area. The guild members of Fairy Tail shrieked as the ground itself began to shake and tremble, as if an earthquake had awoken in response.

Back in the titan, Jose then mustered his energy as he thrusted his arms out.

"WAVE!" He roared out, blasting an even greater beam of phantoms at Makarov. The old man held a palm out as a magic circle flickered and deflected the spell, causing it to beam and launch out of the titan itself, causing a massive shock wave that went all the way to the shore land.

Out of the dust clouds the two stood as Makarov floated and spawned three circles. Clapping his hands together, a white light grew in his hands as he yelled, launching a mass of energy at Jose as the Phantom master laughed and took it head on. The force of the attack caused Natsu to get blown away a few meters, causing him to fall down to another level as Lucy and Happy flew over. Happy then looked up at the sky.

"Natsu, what the heck is going on?" He asked. Natsu grinned as he laid on the floor. "Pretty sure that's Gramps! He's probably settling the score by now!" He said confidently.

Back with the guild masters, they floated down onto the ground. Makarov lifted his face as he looked at Jose.

"I'm impressed. You have so much power at your command. I can see why the council elected you as one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Though you could have used that power to be a role model for the younger generations. Instead you are misusing that power for your own selfish purposes, the exact opposite and the thing that no one should ever become. I cannot allow that to continue." He said calmly.

Jose closed his eyes as he grinned, gesturing his hand as he looked up at the old man.

"What is this, a lecture?" He questioned.

Makarov then closed his eyes. "I have a rule that seems to work rather well with my kids in Fairy Tail. So I'm going to give you to the count of three to kneel to me Jose." He then said, causing Jose's expression to turn to anger.

"What?!" He asked mockingly.

Makarov's eyes then contracted.

"One…"

Jose then laughed. "So not only do you want me to surrender to you, but you also want me to KNEEL before am I right? What the hell gives you the right?! If anything, you should be kneeling to me you pathetic old man!" He shouted defiantly.

Makarov's pupils then disappeared as his arms huddled up, a light beginning to flash brilliantly.

"Two…"

Jose then began to generate his strongest spell as several smogs of ghosts began to spew out from his arms. "Why the hell would the guild master of the strongest guild bow to anyone?! Technically we are evenly powerful, but my ability to be heartless makes me stronger! So kneel before me Makarov!" He commanded.

The glow in Makarov's hands grew larger and brighter as the rotated his palms around it.

"Three… time's up."

"NOW YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE FAIRY TAIL WILL DIE BEFORE MY HANDS!" Jose screamed out as he launched his attack.

Makarov then slammed the light between his palms, the light beginning to flash even brighter as it erased Jose's spell and erupted a mass of light around him.

"I invoke… Fairy Law."

Musing the words in his mind, a golden magic circle bearing Fairy Tail's symbol appeared behind him. Outside, Makarov's light expanded outwards as a gargantuan magic circle opened up in Magnolia's sky. The light then shined brilliantly, making the phantom soldiers burn away and everyone cover their eyes. Erza and Chromastone looked back as the others began to wake up. Gray stood up as rubbed his eyes.

"What's going on? What is that?" He asked.

He and the others ran up to witness the scene. Erza then gazed upon the light.

"That is Fairy Law." She answered with a smile as she flashed back to her Heart Kreuz Armor.

Gray and Elfman looked at her. "What is it?" They asked again.

"A spell that vanquishes the darkness with sacred light. It only affects those that the caster deems as an enemy. Incredible isn't it, not only is it one of the most legendary spells in existence, but it is also one of the Three Great Fairy Magics." Erza explained in awe as everyone else gazed upon the light.

A few moments later, the light dissipated as the scene zooms back into the titan. From a massive dust cloud stood a trembling Jose, whose entire figure was paled out as the man's jaw gaped open, his arms attempting to cover his face. Makarov stood in front of him as he gazed upon his ruined state.

"You will never bother Fairy Tail ever again is that clear?" He ordered as he turned around.

"I'm sure the Magic Council will take note of all of this and will be watching us after all that has transpired. You better be on your best behavior Jose, I know I will." He warned as he walked off.

A mass of wind then began to form behind the old man, revealing Aria whose face was bawling out as he grinned menacingly as his palms spawned two magic circles.

'Our master has fallen, how sad! But the old man's left himself wide open again, THIS IS MY CHAN—!' He yelled in his mind as he attempted another Drain spell.

Makarov then stretched his arm back as he swiped Aria across the face, causing the man to crash into a wall and pass out again.

"The war is over. There no longer is any reason to fight anymore. But if you push me to the point of anger, I will eliminate your guild without hesitation… Now you kids get out, and take Jose!" He said in a jokingly matter as he turned his face.

Walking over to the edge of the titan, he lifted an arm, confirming his victory as the crowd down below cheered in triumph.

"Hurray! We beat Phantom!" Everyone yelled out as they began to celebrate their victory.

Makarov then lifted his arms out.

"We are victorious, but I had little to do with it. This victory, IS YOURS MY CHILDREN!" He yelled out.

Natsu laid on the ground as he grinned again. Chromastone then reverted back to Ben as he grinned too.

"Heh, couldn't have done it with you big guy…" They said in unison.


And with that, the Phantom Lord Arc is finished!

So, before moving on the Loke Arc, I'm sorry to say but I want to add two more 'filler' parts again, partly due to your suggestions and partly because of some of my own ideas. I hope you understand my intentions for this.

But anyways, thank you so much for reading The Null Fairy up to this point. Please review this story. Any comment/advice is welcome as usual as it helps to contribute my understanding of becoming a better author.

And now, with that all said, I'll see you all in the next part, see you later!
