Ch. 20
"Kusunagi Blade, I'm guessing that's Itachi's"
Izumi's eyes widened as she looked at the man with long silver hair
"Raijin..."
Izumi jumped back as she prepared herself
"Huh? Who the hell ar-" Knepper stopped speaking due to the eight foot long sword at his throat
"Be quiet or I'll have your head, you insulent human."
Knepper nodded as Raijin removed the blade away from the man's throat
"I thought Itachi would try something like this, it seems I was right to come."
Izumi gripped the Kusunagi Blade tighter, not tearing her Sharingan activated eyes away from Raijin.
"You humans."Raijin said lookig back at the Garou Knights
Izumi lunged forward slashing down at Raijin who easily blocked the attack
"Taka care of the others, I will personally deal with this one."
Knepper and Uosuke ran past Izumi who glanced at them
"You dont have time to focus on the others at the moment." Raijin stated pushing Izumi back with ease
"Wendy!" Natsu shouted
Izumi looked back slightly, seeing a plant closing with Wendy inside it. Izumi's eyes widened, running away from Raijin towards the plant, but Raijin appeared in front of her sword slashing down. Izumi was able to block with the Kusunagi Blade, but was being pushed back.
"I thought I said..." Raijin kicked Izumi in the stomach sending her crashing into a rock wall "...you don't have time to focus on others!"
"Izumi!" Mirajane shouted
"I-I'm fine." Izumi said seeing Mirajane had freed Wendy
"Pay attention!"
Raijin appeared in front of Izumi, fist infused with white lightning, throwing a punch, but Izumi ducked. Raijin's punch shattered the rock wall as Izumi engulfed herself in black flames, swing the Kusunagi Blade which Raijin blocked once more with his Masamune. Izumi grinned enhaling the black flames.
"Fire Gods Bellow!"
Izumi breath attack sent a torrent of black flames but Raijin let out a large amount of lightning blocking the flames
"Godslayer..."
There was a large explosion behind Izumi causing everyone to get seperated, leaving her to fight Raijin
Scene Change- G.M.G
"Anyway, the match hasn't progressed." Romeo said
"That's because the imperial capital is huge, and there aren't many people left." Alzack replied
"And only the strong one's have made it this far. Running into the wrong opponent could suddenly put the team at a disadvanted, so they're beaing careful." Bisca said
Down in the capital, Itachi was walking as he felt strong magic power and looked towards the palace
"So you really are there." Itachi said clenching his fist
Scene Change- R.T
Izumi charged at Raijin, swinging her sword, but he stood on place parrying all her slashes. Izumi charged once more while Raijin swung down, but Izumi barely evaded it as Raijin's attack hit the ground creating a small crater and debris flying while Izumi crouched and slashed upwards. Raijin tilted his head and leaned his body back, dodging Izumi's slash. Izumi qucikly shifted the blades position, swinging at Raijin's head, but Raijin easily blocked
"Gate of Rest! Open!"
Izumi opened the second gate trying to push Raijin's sword back. Key word 'Trying'.
"Is that all Itachi's lover has?" Raijin asked
Izumi narrowed her glared at Raijin who seemed calm and wouldn't budge even though he was only using one hand to support his Masamune Blade, while she gripped the Kusuangi with both her hands.
'Just how strong is this guy?!'
Izumi's eyes widened when Raijin disappeared from her sight and he reappeared behind her. He swung, but Izumi spun quickly blocking his attack, but was sent flying and crashing into the rock wall
"Fire God's: Explosive Flame!"
Izumi sent an orb of black flames hurling towards Raijin which he sliced in half, but the orb exploded into a large black flames. Raijin coated his Masamune Blade with white lightning slashing and splitting the black flames as he saw Izumi
"Too slow." Raijin said swinging down
'Gate of Pain! Open!'
Izumi skipped the third gate and opened the fourth gate, her skin turning red as she disappeared from Raijin's sight, Izumi appeared above him as she swung down, but Raijin blocked her attack. Izumi's flames gathered in her hand while it coated the Kusunagi Blade and a Scythe formed in her other
"Fire God's: Scythe!"
She swung, but a lightning sword formed in his other hand blocking her scythe
"Why do you humans think yelling you attack will make it stronger?"
Izumi smirked causing Raijin to raise a brow. Izumi performed single handed hand seals without losing grip on the Kusunagi, tilting her head back, building up both chakra and magic
'A breath attack from this close.' Raijin tilted his head back as well
"God's Inferno Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
Red flames mixed with her black flames shot out her mouth colliding with Raijin's 'Lightning Devil's Howl'
Scene Change- G.M.G
"Is something wrong, Number One?" Master Makarov asked
"I feel it coming from deep underground Crocus. It's faint, but there are tremors and magical clashing." Master Mavis replied
"The brats, I suppose?" Master Makarov questioned
"Probably. And it seems they're fighting split up."
Sarada was listening to the Masters' as she watcched her Uncle on Lacrima vision
"It seems Uncle Itachi has noticed too." Himawari said
"Hn."
Itachi pace quickened slightly 'She's using the eight gates...Izumi, be careful'
Scene Change- R.T
Debris from the colliding attacks was setting as Izumi was panting, seeing that Raijin still stood in place and without a scratch
'This guy...to think Itachi-kun was trained by him...'
Izumi gripped the Kusunagi Blade
'Gate of Joy! Open!'
Izumi opened the sixth gate, charging at Raijin who was able to parry her attacks
"You've become stronger and faster, but I can hear your muscle tissue tearing"
Raijin kicked Izumi back as she blocked arms crossed in a x-formation, sending her flying into the air as she began to punch the air repeatedly. Flames formed in the air from her punches as well as her black flames which she mixed into the attack.
'She's punching so fast, she's causing friction to erupt and making the air catch on fire'
Raijin lowered his sword and with a mere flick of his wrist, white lightning covered the battle field, taking out Izumi's attack. Izumi landed safley before falling on one knee
'No way?! He was able to easily counter 'Morning Peacock'!' Izumi was in shock as she saw lightning come straight at her 'I can't dodge it!'
Izumi braced for impact, but Itachi's necklace he had given her began to glow as a dome of white lightning protected her
Raijin narrowed his eyes "That necklace, it used to belong to Itachi, right?"
Izumi stood, panting and wincing from her muscle tissue kept tearing. She looked at the dome of white ligtning that was protecting her
'How and when?' Izumi questioned
Flashback
"Itachi-kun." Itachi looked back as she stood on her tiptoes and pulled on his shirt making him lean forward as she pressed her lips on his "Goodluck."
Itachi smiled as he placed his forehead on hers "Take care of the others and..." Itachi held onto the necklace she wore that he had given to her as he kissed her once more ad his lips departed from hers "...be careful"
Flashback End
What she and the others had failed to notice at that time was the lightning that sparked from Itachi's fingers that sealed part of itself in one of the red gems.
'It must have been back then...' Izumi looked at Raijin who looked at her as if she was a waste of time 'Maybe if I force open the seve-'
"It seems it's over." Raijin said walking away from Izumi
"Where are you going?! Our fight hasn't ended!"
Raijin stopped and faced his head to the side, glancing at her "My job here is done." Raijin walked then pointed to a corridor to his left "Your friends are that way."
In a flash of white lightning and Raijin had disappered. Izumi's deactivated her Sharingan and her skin was back to her normal color as she fell down to one knee, panting.
"Itachi-kun...that guy is a monster..."
Izumi stood up, placing the Kusunagi Blade strapped on her side as she walked towards the others, limping a bit. Izumi exited the hallway as it connected with another where her friends were.
"Izumi-san! Are you okay?!" Wendy asked rushing to her side and helped her
"Thank you, Wendy. And I'm doing better than I thought I would." Izumi said while Wendy healed her
After Natsu had gotten the directions to the way out, they walked past the beaten Garou Knights, Izumi used her Sharingan on the leader
They walked for a while as Lucy spoke "We keep going, but it all looks the same. It throws off your sense of direction, too!"
"In fact, is this really the right way?" Natsu questioned
"I can feel a slight breeze. I think we're good." Wendy said
"I used my Sharingan on their leader, we are on the right path." Izumi said
"Sharingan?" Natsu questioned "You mean those read eyes like Itachi has?"
"Yes, most if not all of those from the Uchiha clan have them. It's a bloodline trait."
"Uchiha clan, wait, like a family? Are you and Itachi-sama related?" Yukino asked
"No we are not. A clan is usually determined by blood relations and genetics, for example let's put it like this, if Lucy and Natsu marry and have children, they'll all be Dragneel's, right?"
"Why am I and example?!" A blushing Lucy shouted
"When their kids marry, they'll pass on the Dragneel name and Genes." the others nodded as they followed what she was saying "Now imagine all those Dragneel's or those who posses their genes." Izumi pointed at Natsu and Lucy "Came together and stayed together."
"So, you're saying those who bare the Uchiha name usually stay close to other Uchiha." Mirajane said as Izumi nodded
"The Uchiha clan wanting to keep the lineage strong, would breed with those with strong abilities and those with high position. Of course there were many who would fall in love with people who some Uchiha did not seem fit for the clan." Izumi said "Itachi's father was the Uchiha as where his mother was from outside of the clan, she was strong, gentle, but very strict. She was half of the Demon Sisters of Konoha." Izumi chuckled nervously
"Demon Sisters?" Mirajane questioned
"Her bestfriend Kushina Uzumaki was the other half. They said that those who crossed paths with them never dared to ever again. They were feared across the lands, but that was before she married Itachi's father and then had Itachi." Izumi said "She was highly skilled and the clan saw that she was fit to be one of them. Then there's my case..."
"Your case?" Lucy questioned
"Izumi-san, you once said that his father, the elders and others didn't like that you were close with him, why?" Wendy asked
"My mother was an Uchiha and even though my father was really skilled and was a Jounin in our village, which is like an S-Class mage here, there was one thing that they hated about him...his blood, his genes..."
"His blood and genes?" Carla questioned
"My father was from an other clan who just like the Uchiha were strong, feared for their strength and famous."
"But if they were that good, how come they hated him?" Yukino asked
"My father was from the Senju clan, a clan that was at war with the Uchiha and could be said they were mortal enemies, fighting in wars and killing eachother for decades, centuries! Who knows how long exactly, that was of course until they made a truce and built a village together among many other clans as well." Izumi said
"My full name is Izumi Senju Uchiha. And because Senju blood runs through my veins the Uchiha did not like me at first, after a horrible incident my father died and we moved in with the other Uchiha in their district. At first they would call me names, look at me like I was some worthless insect, like I was trash..."
"That's where Itachi-san defends you?" Wendy asked
"Yes." Izumi smiled "I was beeing picked on and some would try to hurt me physically, but Itachi... Itachi was the first person who treated me nicely. He defended me, he would take hits for me, he was my first friend in the Uchiha clan. things began changing when I began showing my worth to the clan, but even then I was still looked down by others."
"So, Itachi-sama was your first love?" Yukino asked
"Yes. My first friend among Uchiha, my first Love, my first kiss, and even my first t-" Izumi covered her mouth with a small blush 'I almost let that slip.'
"Ara~." Mirajane said placing a hand on her cheek as she smiled "Your first what? Izumi-chan?"
Mirajane teased Izumi who turned red
"Oh! I smell something!" Natsu said
'Saved!' Izumi thought
"Seems like we are getting closer to the exit." Mirajane said
"Then the leader of the executioner's was telling the truth, huh?" Wendy said as they walked down deeper underground
"Hey look at that!" Happy said
"It's a door!" Natsu stated the obvious
"It's bigger than it has to be!" Panther Lily said
"It looks pretty sturdy..." Wendy said
"Leave it to me!" Natsu ran towards the door "Roar of the..." the door began to open causing Natsu to stumble and roll on the ground, coming to a stop in front of a hooded figure "Who the hell are you?"
Scene Change- G.M.G
"Fairy Tail doesn't have any fallen members! Talk about strong!" Chapati said
"Of course, say what you will. but it's because my Laxus is there." Freed said
"Not yours, but the Raijinshuu's, right?" Evergreen said
"Whatever! Just finish 'em off, Laxus!" Bixlow said
"Ahem, I believe it's because my Uncle is there, that we will win." Sarada said arms crossed
"Our Uncle." Himawari said smiling
"Huh? My Laxus is stronger than your uncle." Freed said
"Huh?! My uncle would mop the floor with your puny Laxus!" Himawari said as they narrowed their eyes, sparks of lightning clashing between them
"Go, Laxus, Go!" the Raijinshuu cheered
"Go, Uncle Itachi, Go!" Himawari and Sarada cheered
"Quiet down!" Master Makarov ordered with a sweat drop
"By the way, First Master, What's going to happen next?" Sarada asked
"If my calculations are correct..."
Itachi's shadow clone stopped at a three way intersection
'Master Mavis said to be here, right now'
The wind blew as he turned around and looked up spotting Sheria in the air
"Boreas, God of the North Wind!"
Itachi stood in place as the torrent of black wind blew his bangs back
'Just like the Frst Master predicted. Sheria and I will clash.'
Sheria landed on a light pole and smiled "Just because you complimented me the other day, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you!"
"I never expected you to go easy on me. Now come, and give all you have."
"In that case...vanish!"
Sheria sent strong black wind at Itachi who let out a small portion of lightning, splitting the wind
"God Slayer Sheria...if I recall she can heal herself." Evergreen said as she watched the confrontation
"How can she be taken down?" Bixlow questioned
"Immobilizing her is fine. I told Itachi to stall her for a while. Meanwhile, Erza will fight Minerva."
"First Master, is Minerva that woman from Saber? The one who kept hurting Lucy..." Freed said remembering the incident
"Aunt Izumi said that Erza can defeat Minerva." Himawari said
"So, if they throw down, it's Erza's win." Sarada said
Meanwhile, Erza was standing where Master Mavis anticipated Minerva would be. Erza's eyes widened as she looks behind her as Kagura swiftly runs towards Erza, while gripping her sword
"It's Kagura!" Chapati shouts crowd cheering
'Number One's prediction was off?!' Erza questioned requipping two swords
Kagura begins her swift assault, delivering multiple blows which Erza parried
'She's strong' Erza thought
"The warrior I've heard so much about, show me what you've got, Titania!"
N-Number One! What does this mean? I thought Erza's opponent was supposed to be Minerva from Saber!" Master Makarov asked
"So, even the First Master nicknamed, The Fairy Tactician, can miscalculate." Freed said
"Shhh!" Bixlow, Evergreen, Sarada and Himawari tried shushing him as he rose a brow and they pointed at Master Mavis
"My calculation was..." Master Mavis began to sob, tears forming in her eyes "...how?"
"N-Number One!" Master Makarov said as the guild members grew pale in shock
"I-I'm not crying! I'm not crying at all..."
"S-Somebody! Soothe Number One with all your might!" Master Makarov shouted
'That's a hurdle we've only seen Itachi jump over!" the guild members thought
"This is your fault, Freed!" Evergreen shouted
Back with Erza. Erza leaned her body backwards, ducking from Kagura's sheathed Archenemy which passed over her, as Erza proceeded to swing her right blade which Kagura blocked. Kagura swung Archenemy low which Erza jumped over it and tried to go for a jab which Kagura evaded. Erza spun quickly swinging her blades as Kagura flipped backwards as they charged at each other and they parried a blow
"This is an interesting showdown! A battle between the two strongest sword swomen!" Chapati shouted
"It's a grand turning point." Yajima commented
"You're this strong, even with your sword sheathed?" Erza asked
"Oh, my! They're at a stalemate with one sword still sheathed!" Chapati said
Kagura and Erza stared at each other as an orb appeared in between them and a pair of hands grabbed them by the face as Minerva appears from the orb and flips them over, but they quickly recover
"Do you mind if I play, too?" Minerva asked
"Minerva's gotten between them!" Chapati said
"It's...unpredictable..." Master Mavis said
"Oh! My! Goodness! It's become a three-way battle! A showdown between the foremost wizard women in this tournament! Who will survive?!" Chapati shouted, crowd cheering
The three women stared each other down as Erza spoke "I don't care who my opponent is. I'll go right through you."
"People have lost a lot of confidence in Sabertooth. Naturally it goes without saying. you guild is responsible." Minerva said narrowing her eyes "Erza, Kagura. To prove everyone that our guild is strongest, I'm going to get rid of you two together.
Minerva's magic aura became visible, outlined with a purple glow
"You talk a good game." Erza said
"No need for tedious talk, come!" Kagura said
Erza's aura outlined her body with a red glow, while Kagura's aura outlined her body with a blue glow
"Th-This is..., Yajima-san, I think I can feel the vibrations over here!" Chapati said
"That just shows how powerful and concentrated the magic power of those three is." Yajima said
Itachi stopped walking and faced the direction where the three strong magic power. A crow landed on his shoulder as he looked at it and it flew towards the magic and he began walking again.
Itachi's shadow clone looked away from Sheria who tried to land a blow on Itachi who easily evaded it. Sheria tried to roundhouse kick Itachi, but Itachi caught her foot and swung her away from him, causing her to land on the ground rolling before she collided into a wall
Erza takes hold of her two swords and Kagura clenches her Archenemy as they rush towards each other. Minerva, barehanded with magic, runs towards them as well. none of them heisting as they clash with one an other creating a powerful shock wave. Erza slashed at Minerva who blocked and pushed Erza back a bit as Kagura leaped into the air as she slashed down at Erza who ducked under Minerva who also had leaped into the air trying to punch Erza who had ducked under her
Erza spun around slashed Minerva who blocked as she punched Erza before getting kicked by Kagura. Erza slides back as she runs forward towards Kagura, and kicks Kagura through the brick railing. Erza leapt after Kagura who slashed Erza with her sheathed Archenemy, Kagura landing safely as Erza fell. Minerva appeared using her magic to blast Kagura while Erza was in mid-air behind her
"I can see it." Minerva said
Minerva turned around, but was jabbed in the side of her stomach as Erza delivers a quick kick on Kagura who blocked, but was sent back some feet
"I Rogudo!" Erza and Kagura are enveloped by Minerva's Territory "Niel Wiely Mion Tarse Elcantaues!"
"What language is that?" Bixlow questioned
"I don't know, but it seems ominous." Freed commented
"Thats's..."
"Number One!"
"Yakuma's 18 Battle God's Magic?!" Master Mavis stated
"Yagdo Rigora!"
Minerva unleashes one of the 18 Yakuma magic causing it to destroy the surrounding area while instilling shocked expressions from the commentators and spectators alike
Itachi continues walking ignoring the noise and shock wave from the blast.
"What was that?" Sheria asked her fist caught by Itachi's shadow clone spinning her, making it seem to the spectators as if they were dancing
Despite being hit by the technique, Erza and Kagura stand their position, unfazed
"Wha...?! They're unharmed!" Chapati shouted
"I see. I certainly didn't expect you to make it this far, Titania... Erza Scarlet. And Kagura Mikazuchi...we'll go nowhere at this rate. I'm going to make a little change." Minerva said, a large orb formed and inside Millianna could be seen "The kitten I captured earlier."
"Millianna!" Erza and Kagura shouted
"What are you doing, wench?!" Erza asked angrily
"Can you see this girl suffering? I'm stealing her magic even now in that space." Minerva said while Millianna moved around struggling "Relax. I'm not going to use her as a hostage to make you give in. As I said, I'm going to make a change." Erza and Kagura glared at Minerva with killing desire "That's it. That's the expression I wanted to see."
Scene Change- R.T
Natsu looked up at the hooded person as the wind blew and he sniffed the air
"Hey, wait a second! This scent..."
"Natsu..." the hooded person who seemed to have blonde hair said while she began to cry "I'm sorry!"
Natsu's eyes widened "You're..."
"Help me!"
"That voice..." Yukino said
"What is this?" Mirajane questioned
"It can't be..." Wendy said
"You're...!" Izumi said
Izumi walked towards the hooded figure along with Lucy, as the hooded person removed her hood and their eyes widened in shock
"Two Lucy's?! What is she from Edolas or something?" Happy questioned
"Please...help me! Soon this country will..."
Scene Change- G.M.G
"Why...can't I...hit you?!" a panting Sheria questioned
Itachi's shadow clone looked up to the sky watching the clouds pass before facing Sheria once more
"I believe I've stalled long enough." Itachi said
"Stalled? What are you talking about?" Sheria questioned
Sheria blinked as she felt a gust of wind pass her. When she opened her eyes, Itachi was gone
"It's my turn."
Sheria threw herself forward, placing her hands on the ground as her leg shot up and tried to land a back kick to Itachi's chin, but Itachi caught her by the ankle before her kick could land. Itachi slightly lifted her off the ground as he delivered a side kick sending her crashing into a wall.
"Itachi has begun to attack!" Chapati shouted while the crowd cheered
Sheria stood up, healing her injuries. She ran towards Itachi who threw some shuriken, but Sheria blew them away. Itachi lightly smirked, flicking his fingers as thin wires from the shuriken tied sheria up to a light pole.
'Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!'
A Flame Dragon blew out of Itachi's mouth which had some wires in it as it was flowing through them towards Sheria.
Sheria inhaled "Sky God's: Bellow!"
Sheria's black wind was pushing Itachi's fire back, but Itachi added more chakra making it stronger. The fire consumed the black wind, engulfing Sheria. When Itachi let the flames die out he looked at the burn marks on Sheria's body which had begun to heal. Sheria was panting from exhaustion as she watched Itachi walk up to her and cut the thin wires releasing her. With her remaining strength left she lunged forward at Itachi, trying to land a blow, but her forehead met his two fingers. Sheria looked up at the smiling Itachi who had just poked her
"You did well. Now rest."
Sheria's eyes closed falling forward, but was caught by Itachi. Itachi picked her up and placed her sitting down, leaning against a wall.
"Sh-Sheria-tan has been defeated!" Chapati shouted while the crowd cheered and the sequels of many fan girls were heard
"Kya~ Itachi-sama! Carry me too!"
"Itachi-sama!"
"Ara~ Itachi-sama, poke me hard!"
"Itachi-sama~ I want to get poked in many places~!"
"Fairy Tail gets an other point!" Chapati said
"By the way, I wonder what's going to happen with the city after it's destroyed in battle?" Yajima questioned
"It'll apparently be restored by magic." Chapati replied
Scene Change- R.T
"Another Lucy?!" Mirajane said
"You're not...Gemini, right?" Yukino asked
"Or from Edolas? Or something like that?" Happy asked
"You already know of Eclipse, the time-travel portal, right?"
"Eclipse? Don't tell me..." Lucy said
"You're from the future." Izumi said as future Lucy nodded
"This country is about to..."
Future Lucy fell unconscious as Natsu checked on her
"It looks like she fainted. She's still breathing." Carla said
"Lucy..." Mirajane said looking at the present Lucy
"This is creeping me out. Why would I...?"
"Anyway, we can't leave her here. We'll take this Lucy with us, too." Natsu said picking up future Lucy and placing her over his shoulder
"Let's leave the palace and shoot off a flare." Yukino said
"Right. It'll let them know, Lucy was successfully rescued." Wendy said
"Although, I didn't imagine there'd be tow of 'em..." Natsu said
Scene Change- G.M.G
"Let Miliiana go!" Erza demanded
"I'm going to give you a battle worthy of a king." Minerva said
"I'm not going to say it again. Free my comrade while you still live." Kagura demanded fiercely taking a hold of her sword
"If you want her, come and get her." Minerva tempted her
Kagura with incredible speed, appears face to face with Minerva
"You'll be the second tiger I devour."
"I hope I taste better than the last one." Minerva said
Kagura prepares to attack, but Minerva switches places with Erza, stunning both mages as Erza blocked Kagura's sword with her own
"W-What happened?!" Master Makarov questioned
'It's like one of papa's Rinnegan abilities, but she switched with a person instead.' Sarada thought
'They switched places.' Itachi looked at the lacrima vision
Back with Minerva and the othe two. "You two fight it out. I'll take on the victor." Minerva said walking away
"You're a pretty pathetic King, considering you interrupted us in the first place." Erza said
"A King moves her pawn according to her own strategy." Minerva stopped in front of the orb containing Millianna as she looked back at the two "Consider it a honor. I acknowledge that I can't take you both on. I admit that I underestimated you. A King must win, no matter the circumstances."
"Give Millianna back!" Erza demanded
"Don't you...Don't you dare...pretend to be her friend!"
Kagura headbutts Erza separating the two. Minerva has the sphere containing Millianna vanish as she enters one herself and disappears
"She really got the jump on us, eh?" Erza said wiping off the sweat and blood from her head
"Shut your mouth. I'm going to cut you down, as well as the tiger woman."
"Things have gotten complicated, but what do you make of it, Yajima-san?" Chapati said
"Well, the rules don't really apply to this situation. It falls into the Gray are of strategy." Yajima said
"Speaking of rules, what happens if someone defeats Itachi's double?" Chapati questioned
"That also falls into the Gray area, but I would have to say that they would have to defeat the Original Itachi to get the points-kabo!"
Meanwhile, Gajeel is walking wondering why Master Mavis' strategy failed. He keep walking and stops, turns around and sees Rogue
"I'm not as nice as the Salamander, though, so be prepared." Gajeel said smirking
"And now we've got the Iron Dragon versus the Shadow Dragon!" Chapati announced
Meanwhile, Laxus was wandering through the city, he stops coming across Orga
"This should be an interesting match-up." Yajima commented
"We finally meet, Laxus." Orga said, black lightning flickering
"Black lightning, eh?"
"You've realized it, haven't you? I'm the Lightning God Slayer."
"You may be able to kill a God, but I don't know about a Fairy." Laxus said, his lightning flickering
"Wow! The remaining members are all paring up to duel!" Chapati said
"Come to think of it though, where's Sting-kun?" Yajima questioned
"Well...He can't be picked up by the Lacrima Vision cameras." Chapati said
With Itachi, he stopped and turned a corner
"This way...this magic..." Itachi's white lightning flickered
Scene Change- R.T
"It's just weird." Natsu said
"What's weird?" Lucy asked
"This Lucy is lighter than you!"
"We don't need comments like that!" Lucy said
"Hm. I thought it had to do with her butt since your touching it." Izumi said
"Natsu! Stop touching my- Future me's butt!"
"Izumi, that's actually pretty normal with these two." Happy said snickering
"No it's not!"
"Oh, my. I didn't know Lucy-sama and Natsu-sama had that type of relationship." Yukino said
"We don't!"
"She probably lost weight from all her hardships." Happy commented
"So future Lucy is gonna have success with a diet..." Natsu said
"Enough!"
Scene Change- G.M.G
Kagura and Erza clash once more as Kagura pushes Erza back. Erza flips back and requips into her Heavens Wheel Armor. Erza flies towards Kagura who jumps into the air. Kagura comes down towards Erza, using her "Archenemy Strong Form" and breaks the ground under her feet
Kagura jumps int the air once again and uses "Archenemy Slashing Form" as Erza requipped her Admantine Armor, using the large shield to defend herself against Kagura's slash, but Kagura slashes the shield, breaking it. Erza and Kagura began to fall as Erza requipped into her Flight Armor, she gained speed and jumped onto falling rubble, making her way closer to Kagura
Erza struck her, but was shocked when she had been struck instead. Erza crashed through a ceiling of a walkway as Kagura landed on her feet and an arm for support. Erza was panting struggling to get back up on her feet
"I'm surprised. I didn't know there was anyone as strong as you here...That strength..." Erza looked at Kagura "Does it stem from your grudge against Jellal?"
Kagura walked up to Erza and kicked her through a pillar and crashing into an other
"I don't care what kind of grudge you have against Jellal...but Millianna's started walking towards the future, so leave her out of it!"
"It's her will." Kagura stood in front of Erza, gripping her sword she swung hitting Erza in the face sending her crashing into an other pillar "And my will is the same. I'm going to kill Jellal."
Erza asked what had happened for her to feel so much hate and negative emotions towards him. Kagura revealed that Jellal killed her older brother, Simon. Kagura explained that they were poor, but happy. Until the child hunters came and took him as she escaped, Kagura had searched for years as she one day met Millianna, who told her of Simon's death.
"After years of abuse and being stripped of his freedom, he was murdered by Jellal." Everything in front of me went black. And I made a new vow." Kagura brought her sheathed sword in front of her "To unsheathe this sword when it was time to slay Jellal, my brother's enemy."
"Millianna wasn't there at the time. It was only me, Jellal, Natsu and Simon." Erza recollected her memories of that day "True, Jellal may be at fault for Simon's death...but Jellal didn't kill him. It was me."
You would go that far to cover for Jellal?" Kagura asked gripping her sword
"No. It's the truth. My weakness...killed Simon." Erza said crying from her left eye
Kagura's grip on the hilt of her sword tightened as she trembled in anger and tears fell from her eyes 'Kagura' she heard as she unsheathed Archenemy
Itachi stopped and turned around
'So much blood thirst..."
Kagura slashed Erza who parried with her own sword, sending a blast from the two swords to the side destroying the wall and many buildings
"I can't afford to die!" Erza said standing up as rubble crashed down beside them "I'm alive because of Simon...I'm alive because of old Rob...I'm alive because of my comrades." Erza requipped into her clear heart clothing "Give up on this life...would be a sacrilege against those who went on that journey!"
"I'll kill both you and Jellal!"
Kagura charged at Erza who parried her attack. Erza leaped into the sky, as Erza came down Kagura leaped towards her as they slashed each other. Erza landed on her feet as Kagura came crashing down.
"It's Erza! What a force of will! She was totally worn out but pulled off a reversal!" Chapati shouted
"I'm not surprised, though." Yajima commented
"I-Incredible-kabo!"
"Kagura is getting up! This isn't over yet!" Chapati said
"I-I...I" Kagura sat on her knees as Erza looked up at the falling rubble that came crashing down at Kagura, but Erza managed to push Kagura out of harms way, but her foot was caught under the rubble.
Kagura asked why Erza saved her to which she responded, that she knows her,no, she remembered her, Erza revealed to Kagura that she too was from Rosemary village like her, and Simon. Erza revealed she was the one who helped Kagura hide from the child hunters.
Kagura stood wide eyed, hands covering her mouth as she cried, remembering the events of that day. Kagura then lifted the large rubble, freeing Erza's foot
"I don't have a sense of closure yet. But...as for this fight, I..." Kagura stopped as she was impaled with a sword from behind by Minerva
"Kagura fell as Minerva smirked "The winner is Erza. However, I get the points."
"Minerva took down Kagura! Sabertooth gains points! Since the leader was defeated, that's Five points! Sabertooth has bypassed Fairy Tail to become the current front-runner!" Chapati said
"I told you, remember? I'm going to give you a battle worthy of a King. But the King only eats exquisite dishes. Such as a mermaid's head, a fairy's flappimg wings, and so on..."
"Milli...Millianna...save Millianna." Kagura begged Erza
"Millianna? The kitten?" Minerva's orb made Millianna apear unconscious on the ground "All the fights out of her. I get the points!"
"This widens the gap even more with Fairy Tail-kabo!"
Erza held Millianna in her arms as she woke, but fell unconscious once again
"Hang in there, Millianna!" Erza felt warm liquid on her hand as she looked and it was covered in blood, Erza then lay Millianna down and checked her back revealing many cuts "W-What's this?!"
"I was bored waiting for you, so I amused myself by hurting her. She had such a nice scream."
Erza stoodand glared at Minerva for her wrong doings
Itachi looked at the lacrima vision and narrowed his eyes, he looked around for the lacrima vision cameras, and when he found none were watching him at the moment he made two clones who dispersed into a flock of crows. Itachi walked once again heading towards his opponent
"With this, all the Mermaid Heel opponents are out! So now it's just down to Erza and Minerva!" Chapati said
"But Erza has already been put through the wringer-kabo!"
"Minerva on the other hand, doesn't have a scratch on her." Yajima commented
"Does the Fairy with flapping wings have a chance at victory?!" Chapati questioned
Meanwhile, with Gajeel. Rogue turned into a shadow and appeared behind Gajeel, who turned around and punched Rogue in the gut. Gajeel the repeatedly hit Rogue with his Iron Dragon's Club, sending him sliding back a few feet
"You can't get up to my level in just a day or so. Give it up." Gajeel said walking away
"You...aren't as strong as Natsu Dragneel!" Rogue said causing Gajeel to stop
"What was that?!"
With Laxus, he and Orga stood a distance away from each other
Laxus' arms were crossed as he spoke "Orga, the Lightning God Slayer"
Orga chuckled "You remembered my name, Laxus?"
"You satnd out, even in Sabetooth. And sure, your lightning might be something to write home about. But in the end, you're stuck being number three."
"Big talk. Are you trying to say you're number one?"
"There's always somebody above you. Losing once makes for good experience."
"Interesting. Your lightning and my lightning." Orga's fist flickerd black lightning "I wonder which one is stronger." Orga's fist is covered in black lightning as he pulls back and thrust it forward unleashing a lightning strike that passes beside Laxus, destroying the building behind him "What's wrong? Don't tell me your frozen in fear."
"Did you seriously intend to hit me or not? Did you really think I wouldn't be able to tell?" Laxus pulled his lightning infused fist back as he thrust it forward unleashing his own lightning strike, passing beside Orga, destroying a few buildings
"You live up to your reputation, Laxus."
"Shall we get started?" I don't have all the time in the world for this."
Laxus and Orga let out their lightning as it flickered and flared, charging at each other delivering a punch, their fist connecting and their lightning flashed around each other before it died down
"Well, Well..." Jura walked towards the two as they looked at him and he stopped "I've come across a couple of strong wizards."
"Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints." a nervous Orga said
"You appeared at last, monster." Laxus said all three of them staring each other down
With Itachi's clone, he stayed int he area he had fought Sheria as he sensed someone approach
"I have to say, I didn't think I would end up fighting you." Lyon said noticing the unconscious Sheria "And it seems you've already defeated Sheria."
"Of course he did." Gray said walking up next to Itachi's clone "He made S-Class in less than a week."
"What's wrong, Gray? You're all beat up." Lyon said
"I had some minor business to take care of..."
"Gray." Itachi said "It would be faster, if we take him out together, but knowing he's an old friend of your..."
Meanwhile, Juvia was repeating Itachi's words "We take him out together" in her head as an image of Itachi and Gray, both shirtless, holding each other
"I-Is this what they call boy love?!" Juvia questioned with a blush
"W-What is she thinking?"Sarada questioned
Back with Itachi, he and Gray both felt a cold shiver running down their spines
"What was that?" Itachi questioned
"This feeling...Juvia!" Gray looked at the lacrima vision "What's going on in that head of yours!" Gray shouted
Scene Change- R.T
"Un-friggin'-believable." Natsu said
"Who figured we would get lost after all that?" Loke said
"I just don't have enough knowledge of Castle-sama's structure..." Yukino said
"Castle-sama?" Wendy questioned
"Well, we have a lot to tell everyone, so we better get out of here." Izumi said
"Aye, they need to know about Eclipse project and Future Lucy." Happy said
"This is a pain in the ass, so let's just plow through some soldiers." Natsu said
"We have injured people and we are trying not to get any attention, so forget it." Izumi said
"That's not all. We're also fighting in the Grabd Magic Games, right? It's a kingdom-sponsored tournament. I don't think we can afford to make a bad impression on the imperial armed forces." Mirajane said
"Well, we did beat up the executioner's, so it may be too late." Wendy commented with a sweat drop
"If only I knew some space-time ninjutsu like Itachi-kun." Izumi said letting out a sigh
"Lucy, you needn't worry sop much." Loke said
Lucy was kneeled next to her future self "Yeah..."
"Because even if there are two of you, I've got enough love for you both!" Loke said
"Now's not the time or place!" Izumi said smacking the back of Loke's head as future Lucy awakened
"Where am I?" Future Lucy questioned as she sat up
"Look's like the palace dinning hall." Mirajane said
"So we're still in the palace...According to my memory...After escaping from Hell Palace, we're all captured by imperial soldiers. I came rushing back here so I could warn us beforehand...but all I can say is, we were unlucky. And until that time came, we were in a prison."
"That time?" Happy questioned
"You're talking about the reality you experienced, Lucy?" Future Lucy turned to see Izumi, future Lucy kept staring at her "W-What? Is there something on my face?"
"I'm sorry, but...who are you?"
Everyone including Izumi were shocked
"Y-You're kidding, right?" Lucy asked as future Lucy shook her head 'no'
"What about, Itachi-san?" Wendy asked as future Lucy shook her head once more
"W-We vcan talk about this later, let's just get out of here first." Izumi said
"Yeah! And there's no way these guy's could capture us!" Natsu said
"We get close to Eclipse while we're on the run. Beacyse of that we can't use magic and we all get thrown into the dungeon." Future Lucy said
"Our future selves sure are careless, huh?" Natsu said
"More importantly, why did you come from the future, Lucy?" Izumi asked
"Good question. You haven't told us the important stuff yet." Loke commented
Future Lucy shivered and sobbed "In order to change a terrible future..."
"A terrible future?" Natsu questioned
"What happened in your future?" Yukino asked
"Despair awaits in the very near future..."
Scene Change- God's Realm
"I did what you asked." Raijin said staring at the two Goddesses "She's strong, but still lacks in many areas due to your lack of fighting, Amaterasu."
"Unlike you, Raijin, I haven't been on the battlefield as much as you." Amaterasu stated
"Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi." The two Goddesses looked him in the eyes "A deal is a deal. Make sure you keep your side of it."
"Of course, we will. We will not interfere with your fight against Itachi in the very near future. But that being said Touch Izumi and I'll smite you from existence."
Raijin laughed "As if you could in your current state,it would most likely be the other way around, but even so..." Raijin was walking away as a portal opened "Knowing Itachi, he'll..." Raijin disappeared from their realm
"You've been quiet, Tsukuyomi. Are you worried about Itachi?" Amaterasu asked
Tsukuyomi stayed quiet then smiled before she spoke "Raijin is in for a surprise..."
A/N: And there it is! This came out earlier than I expected lol Well, I hope everyone liked this chapter. Also I did leave out the fights that the other members had in Hell's Palace, because I wanted to focus more on the Izumi vs Raijin fight, which was short, but neither were using their full power, especially Raijin. I've also tweeked some things about Izumi's past and stuff. Well next chapter should be out who knows when lol maybe in two weeks or a bit longer since I also want to start writing other stories and one-shots with Itachi, that I've had in my head. Well Thank you for reading and seeya next time! BUH-BYE! :D
