Ch. 21
"A swarm of more than 10,000 dragons will attack this country. The city is burned down, the Palace is destroyed and many lives are lost." Future Lucy said
Everyone's eyes widened in shock, sweat running down the side of their faces.
"What...the hell..is that?!" Natsu shouted
"Use your indoor voice..." Pantherlily said
"Over 10,000 dragons..." Izumi said clenching her fist 'Even with Itachi-kun and I. I don't believe we would be able to defeat 10,000 dragons...could we?' she thought
"Maybe it has something to do with the dragon graveyard?" Wendy questioned
"I wonder where they'll come from?" Lucy questioned
"Is it even possible for them to be laying in wait without being discovered?" Loke questioned
"It's not. Something with tremendous amount of magic like a dragon..." Izumi narrowed her eyes "I'm sure Itachi-kun or the council would've found any trace of their amount of magic." Izumi closed her eyes "So how is it possible..." she opened her eyes and sighed
"Anyway, we gotta stop wastin' time here and prepare for war!" Natsu said holding some spears
"Natsu's right. We have to get out of here and warn the others." Izumi said
"We're going to fight?!" Lucy asked
"That's impossible!" Happy shouted
"Everyone...you believe me?" Future Lucy asked
"Is it a lie?" Natsu asked
"No! But... I didn't think anyone would believe something like this."
"Why would we doubt your words, Lucy?" Natsu said
"You're my future self, but that's pathetic! Have more trust in your friends!" Lucy said
"I'm scolding myself?!" Future Lucy said "But, you're right..."
"Hey what happened to us in the palace when the Dragons came?" Carla asked making Future Lucy look saddened and look away
"Carla, I'll take a guess. Maybe we..."
"...d-died?" Natsu said finishing Wendy's sentence
Izumi looked at her comrades pained and saddened expressions.
"Don't give up!" Izumi shouted causing the others to look at her "We have to keep our heads up and fight for a better future!"
"B-But how...Lucy said w-we all..."
"She also said also said she didn't know Itachi-kun or myself. Meaning there's a chance we change the future. So we need to hurry and come up with a plan."
"But how would we fight against dragons?" Yukino asked
"We gather the Dragon Slayers." Izumi stated
"There's only six-"
"There are seven, but someone would have to break Cobra out of the council prison."
"Even if we have all the Dragon Slayers here, we won't have enough power against all the dragons, Izumi-san." Wendy said
"We would need someone or something powerful enough to fight a dragon." Mirajane said
"We do. In my world there are Nine Tailed Beast with immense power."
"But, that's back in your world. How would we get them here?" Panther Lily questioned
"Wait..." Mirajane said eyes widened "...They're already here."
Izumi smirked "All Nine Tailed Beast are sealed inside of Itachi-kun." Izumi stated "He is able to release them and use their power. And even though there are only nine, most of us have already seen one parry Acnologias attack. Even if it's only a small percentage, I'm sure they'll help us make a difference."
"I'm really sorry that I don't know how to stop it, it's like, why did I even come here? Until today, I did't know what to do. So I just wandered around the city." Future Lucy said
"Nah. We'll get through it." Natsu said kneeling down on one knee and laying his forehead on hers "I swear we'll change the future."
Scene Change- G.M.G
Gajeel stood in front of a tired, panting Rogue.
"Go ahead, say it again. Who's not as strong as whom?"
Rogue chuckled then spoke.
"Little by little, I feel like I've come to understand... I was a little bald brat. Just a little nuisance who idolized Phantom Lord, the guild you were in. I wanted to join Phantom Lord too, when I got bigger. But the guild lost in a war against Fairy Tail and disbanded. And of all things, you joined the hated Fairy Tail... I couldn't believe it. For you to join the guild that destroyed Phantom Lord...But I was sure you had a reason for being in Fairy Tail...and now I understand. They're comrades, aren't they?" Rogue said looking down at the ground as Gajeel listened "What is a guild? Comrades...what...am I fighting for? Now I understand why you people are so strong. That's why we can't beat you."
"Stand up." Gajeel ordered "You don't understand nothin'." Gajeel grinned as he leaned forward towards Rogue "The frog is your comrade, ain't he?"
"Frog? Frosche is a cat!" Rogue said as he stood
"An exceed, to be exact. Right?"
"That's right. Frosche is my comrade. You got me."
Rogue smiled, but it faded when he heard a voice as he looked around, asking who it was. He heard it again as he looked down at his shadow that was smiling, telling him he would give him power to kill Gajeel.
Scene Change- R.T
"This way!" Future Lucy lead the group so they wouldn't be caught by the imperial army
"I want to send up a flare soon." Mirajane said
"Especially since everyone must be worried about us." Wendy said
They had made it to a hallway, but the imperial army was stationed by it. Natus and Loke readied themselves to fight as Wendy pointed out that Yukino and Arcadios were gone.
"I don't care about the knight, but I can't leave Yukino behind.I'll go back!" Mirajane said
"I'll go with you. Whom ever gets out first send up two flares" Izumi said kicking a guard back with her black infused kick "We'll leave this to all of you, now...go crazy."
Scene Change- G.M.G
"Hey, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?" Gajeel asked Rogue who was holding his head and covering his ears "Would you get a hold of yourself?!"
Rogue screamed as the shadows entered his body, marks appearing on it as he punched Gajeel, sending him back a few feet.
"This guy..."
Rogue chuckled, shadows leaking from his body. "I just lent you a little power, Rogue."
"Who are you?" Gajeel asked
"A Shadow. A Shadow that rules destiny."
"Huh? What are you talkin' about?"
Rogue turned into a shadow appearing in front of Gajeel, kicking him as he flipped backwards.
"I don't get it, but you're rarin' to mix it up, huh? This'll be fun."
Gajeel turned his arm into a sword as it extended towards Rogue, who turned into a shadow and coiled around the sword towards Gajeel. Rogue sent Gajeel back with his "Waxwing of the Shadow Dragon." Gajeel landed on his back as he stood and looked around for Rogue.
"I'm right here." Gajeel looked back as his shadow was changing "Slash of the Shadow Dragon!" Gajeel was hit by numerous thin tendrils that struck him from his shadow.
Rogue appeared beside him as Gajeel swung, but Rogue turned into a shadow again, then punched Gajeel in the side before turning into a shadow again and kicking him in the back.
"I was right. You're not as strong as Natsu Dragneel. Although, even Natsu Dragneel is not match for me now."
"Something isn't right." Sarada said watching with her Sharingan activated "Hima, can you see what I'm seeing with your Byakugan?"
"Yes. It seems there's some foreign power taking over." Himawari said, Byakugan activated seeing a shadowy trying to consume Rogue
"Number One, what is that?" Master Makarov asked
"It seems he's been possessed." Master Mavis said
Itachi had stopped in his tracks as he felt the dark magic. He closed an eye watching through the eyes of his crows that flew towards the direction of the dark magic. He saw something around Rogue who was holding Gajeel in the air by the neck.
"The shadows are going to eat away at you. You'll disappear for eternity!" Rogue dropped Gajeel onto the ground as shadows surrounded him "Sleep in Darkness!"
Gajeel heard the caw of the crow as he grinned. "If the salamander could do it, there ain't no way I can't!" Gajeel started eating the shadows as he sat up on all fours "I don't know who the hell you are, but get outta his body."
"Out of Rogue?"
"And his name ain't Rogue. It's Raios, my former disciple." Gajeel looked at him as the possessed Rogue took a step back "You didn't idolize me back then. That wasn't the kind of guy I was. I know better than anyone." Gajeel stood up "You were scared of me. I'll remind you of that one more time." Gajeels body turned into iron that was more dark and metallic as shadows leaked from him "How terrifying I am!"
"This is...the Iron Shadow Dragon?!"
Gajeel lunged forward as Rogue was about to hit him, but Gajeel turned into a shadow. Gajeels shadow form appeared behind Rogue, hanging from the ceiling. Rogue spun around for the attack, but was a bit shocked when he didn't hit Gajeel. Gajeel turned into his physical form hitting Rogue with his Iron Club from behind. Rogue leaped into the shadows as Gajeel materialized into a shadow following after Rogue.
"Both of them became shadows!" Bixlow stated
"What's going to happen now?" Evergreen questioned
"I can't tell which is which." Freed said
Two shadows clashed with each other as they made their way up a pillar and onto the roof.
"Well, can you see them, Bixlow?" Freed asked
Bixlow had removed his helmet, eyes glowing. "It's hard to see souls on the monitor. But I think the faster one is Gajeel, maybe."
"Maybe?" Evergreen questioned as she then looked at Sarada and Himawari "How about you two? Can you see who Gajeel is?"
"Actually, yes." Himawari said
"We can see that one of them looks more darker, or sinister." Sarada said
"So, which one is Gajeel?" Freed asked
"The right one." Himawari replied
The shadows were racing, right next to each other as Gajeels hand came out of his shadow and reached into Rogues' shadow and dragged him out of it.
"What?! He dragged me out of the shadows!"
Gajeel punched Rogue through the ceiling as Rogue materialized into a shadow once more, but Gajeel caught up to him and threw Rogue out of the shadows and up into the air.
"Roar of the Iron Shadow Dragon!"
Gajeels breath attack shot a beam of iron surrounded by shadows reaching up into the sky. The breath attack was so powerful it left the commentators wide eyed, mouths wide open, and speechless.
Gajeel was back to normal as he turned to see Rogues' body crash through the ceiling and back onto the floor. Gajeels breathing was quicker since he was exhausted.
"Um, th-that's the match! That's the match!" Chapatti shouted as the crowd cheered "The winner is Gajeel! So with this, Fairy Tail gains one more point!"
Gajeel heard laughing from Rogues body. "So this is the current Rogue's limit, eh?" A shadow left Rogues body as it laughed.
"It disappeared?" Gajeel questioned
"Wow! Now that was a magnificent battle worthy of Dragon Slayers!" Chapatti said
"It didn't turn out the way I thought, but it was incredible-kabo!"
"That's the true pleasure of the Grand Magic Games." Yajima said
With Erza and Minerva.
Erza attempts to stand on her injured leg, but Minerva takes advantage of the impairment and uses her magic to grab Erza by her injured leg and threw her, crashing through a pillar and crashing into a second one.
"How clumsy you are, fairy with flapping wings. Is it about time to end this? I think I'll publicly execute you, Titania"
"Well, this battle final battle has really cranked up the excitement, but..." Chapatti said as explosions went off "Uh-oh! Over here, we have an Ice Molding Magic showdown!"
Itachi's clone sat on the railing of the bridge watching the Ice-make wizards fight.
"You're stubborn, Gray. I'll give you that." Lyon said
"It's not like you to try and butter me up, Lyon!" Gray said
Lyon shot birds of ice at Gray who jumped out of the way before using "Ice Make: Shotgun" which Lyon evaded.
"Ice Make: Water Serpent!"
A giant serpent of ice attacked Gray, who defended himself with a shield of ice, but the serpent broke through it. Gray jumped to the side landing near Itachi's clone who got off the railing and now stood next to Gray.
"You're almost out of magic, let's end this now."
"He'll see us planning something, so it might not work." Gray said as Itachi began to whisper something
"What are you two planning?" Lyon asked
Itachi flashed through some hand signs as water began to spin in the palm of his hand and Gray began to power up some of his ice magic.
"Water Style: Crashing Rapids"
"Ice Make: Freeze Lancer!"
Lances of Ice swarmed in the rapid water about to hit Lyon, but Lyon used his ice magic to block the attack.
"Was that really all you two had? And here I thought Ita-"
The debris of ice cleared as some white smoke cleared from where Itachi's clone stood and revealed Juvia in a blue bikini.
"J-Juvia!" Lyon shouted falling back from a nosebleed
"Itachi has found Lyons weakness!" Chapatti shouted
"I-Is Itachi-san trying to win over Gray-sama by becoming Juvia?!" Juvia questioned
The clone smirked going back to it's original form. "Let's go." Gray nodded
As Lyon slowly stood back up, Itachi had flashed through many hand signs.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu"
"Ice Make: Geiser!"
A Chinese Dragon formed from the water in the river, coiling around the bridge as it was frozen by Gray's Ice magic, but the dragon kept moving and water ran down the ice body.
"Go." Gray said
"Hyorinmaru." Itachi said
The Ice-Water Dragon roared attacked Lyon sending him into the sky until there was a twinkle of light. Itachi's clone looked over at Gray who seemed amazed by the attack. Gray looked at Itachi who nodded before dispelling itself.
"Fairy Tail gets an other point!" Chapatti said
"I see. The fist attack was a diversion." Sarada said
"He then transformed into Juvia to catch him off guard and hit him with a even stronger combination attack!" Himawari said smiling
"E-Everyone! Look at this!" Chapatti shouted
The crowd watched the lacrima vision, seeing Jura walk up to Laxus and Orga.
"Here he comes! Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints-kabo!"
"Shall I join the contest, as well? My blood hasn't burned like this for a long time." Jura said
"So you came out, monster." Laxus said
"Jura-san, I wanna see you when you're serious." Orga brought his hands forward, black lightning flickering in between them "Do you have the guts to take this?"
"Oh?"
"I'm the Lightning God Slayer. God Slayer Magic or the title of Ten Wizard Saints? Which is more powerful? I'm sure everyone wants to know that. Well, Ten Wizard Saint? Can you block my magic? Or is Ten Wizard Saint just your calling card?"
"Go ahead." Jura said
'He got the old man in a trap.' Laxus thought as he saw something from the corner of his eye, he looked up and saw a figure with his arm raised 'Itachi...Shit!' Laxus jumped back and away from the others.
"Here I go! Charged Particle Cannon of the Lightning God!"
Laxus saw the black lighting heading towards Jura, who dodged the attack at the last second and swiftly lunged forward towards Orga.
In an instant a sword the size of the tallest tower in Crocus made of White Lightning was seen from the Domus Flau.
"Lightning Devils: Zeroth Giant Sword"
The attack came crashing down destroying all the buildings in its path, causing an earthquake and large gusts of wind blowing around and towards the Domus Flau. Laxus who was behind the pillar where Itachi was on top of, was trying to stand in place, fighting the violent gust of wind. Itachi narrowed his eyes seeing that Jura and Orga had miraculously evaded the attack, but were sent crashing into the buildings behind them.
'It seems it's still too slow' Itachi thought
"H-He destroyed the buildings and everything in its path all the way towards the ocean..." Master Mavis said
Everyone in the Domus Flau had their eyes bulging out from their sockets and their mouths wide opened, speechless.
"I-Itachi! I forbid you from using that attack on a job!" Master Makarov shouted
"Th-This is a Devil Slayers power?!" Chapatti shouted
"T-Terrifying and Amazing-k-kabo."
"So cool!" Himawari shouted
"Yeah, but I think Uncle Itachi toned it down, so it wouldn't kill them." Sarada stated
"That's toning it down?!" the guild shouted in unison
Back with Itachi and Laxus.
"Don't you think that was too much?" Laxus asked as Itachi jumped down from the pillar and near Laxus
"Jura is ranked number Five of the Ten Wizard Saints, and Orga is the Lightning God Slayer." Itachi said glancing to his left and right "I even toned it down."
"Could've fooled me, but it looks like they were somehow able to evade it."
"Hn."
A beam of black lightning shot from the whole of a building heading towards Itachi. Laxus thrust his fist forward releasing his own lightning, both attacks colliding, creating an explosion.
Itachi turned to his side seeing a giant rock hand above them. Itachi shot lightning from his palm, colliding with the rock hand, breaking it to rubble.
"Which one do you want?" Laxus asked
"Doesn't matter, both will lose wither way." Itachi replied
Laxus smirked as he lunged forward at Orga, both slayers fists infused in their lightning as they parried each others attacks.
Itachi watched Jura who walked towards him and stopped a few feet away.
"Jura Neekis...In this final battle, he's the one person I was wariest of...but with Itachi fighting, we can only watch and see." Master Mavis said
"Uncle Itachi will beat him!" Himawari shouted "Uncle Itachi will not lose to anyone!"
"Also, Uncle Itachi has been holding back the whole time. Instead of heading straight into battle, he's been taking his time. Playing around you could say. He's also limited himself to using smaller level attacks." Sarada stated as Master Mavis and the other listened to what she was saying "The abilities and knowledge he possess'...he could've been sent out there by himself and come out victorious. That's how strong he is, no, how strong he's become."
"But, our Uncle doesn't want that. What he wants is to be alongside his comrades. He wants everyone to keep moving forward, to get stronger. He wants to get stronger to protect those he cares for." Himawari said looking at the guild members with a smile "He's come to love everyone in the guild like a family. And we thank you all. Sarada and I. Our parents, our family and friends. We all thank you for giving him a family here in this world."
The girls bowed, thanking the guild members before resuming to watch the games. The guild members were speechless, they didn't know what to say as they simply smiled and resumed watching the battle.
"I've wanted to fight you and Laxus for the longest time, him being Makarov-donos grandson, and you who was able to parry Acnologias breath attack." Jura said as Itachi's body flickered lightning "Show me what you have and I might just put in a good word about you to the council about making you a wizard saint."
"I don't need a title."
"Yet Makaorv-dono wishes to recommend you."
Itachi swiftly ran towards Jura whose eyes widened as Itachi appeared in front of him. Jura was about to hit Itachi with a chop, but Itachi caught his hand and uppercut Jura with a fist infused with white lightning, sending Jura flying back and landing on his feet with a smirk.
"Oh my! Itachi has landed the first hit on the Wizard Saint, Jura!" Chapatti said
Jura took his coat off and stomped his foot on the ground as Itachi leaped into the air evading a pillar emerging under his feet. With a flick of the wrist, Itachi had covered the whole area around Jura with white lightning, causing Jura to defend himself with a rock golem. Jura maneuvered rock pillars rising from the ground causing Itachi to leap back evading them.
Itachi focused his lightning in his hand as his lightning stretched towards Jura, piercing his rock defense, cutting the sleeve of his shirt and grazing his side. Itachi appeared in front of Jura who went for a chop once more as Itachi turned his body into lightning and evading it, appearing beside Jura. Itachi threw a punch at Jura who blocked it and grabbed his wrist, but Itachi twisted his body kicking Jura in the side of the head, sending him crashing into his own rock wall.
"How astonishing, I haven't felt this much fighting spirit in years!"
Jura lunged towards Itachi as they exchanged fists.
Meanwhile Laxus had swiped kicked Orga's legs causing him to fall back, but Laxus punched Orga in the stomach making the impact harder and a small crater form beneath them. Orga flared his lightning causing Laxus to leap back. Orga stood his breathing was quicker and harder than Laxus' who wasn't breathing as fast as he was. Orga began to gather his last remaining amount of magic for one last attack.
Orga inhaled a large amount of lightning. "Lightning Gods Bellow!" Orga shot a large beam of black lightning which Laxus barely managed to dodge.
Laxus rushed at Orga. "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Roaring Thunder!" Laxus released a large burst of lightning from his fist.
Laxus' attack hit Orga sending him crashing into a building. Laxus smirked, but it soon disappeared seeing Orgas' own smirk. Laxus' eyes narrowed then widened as he looked back seeing Orga's attack heading towards Itachi and Jura.
"Itachi!"
Itachi had blocked one of Juras chops, hearing Laxus call out his name he looked to the side, eyes now wide, Orga's attack only millimeters away from his face. He had no way of escape. he didn't have time to dodge it and it would hit before he activated Kamui. There was only one option left.
Itachi opened his mouth wide as he began to inhale the black lightning. Jura took this chance as an advantage and tried to kick Itachi, but he blocked with his own leg.
'Even though he is consuming the lightning, he can still block?!'
Jura didn't call it quits as he went for the chop which Itachi blocked with his arm, then Jura went for a punch, but to his shock Itachi leaped into the air now upside down grabbing onto Jura's wrist as he had finally finished devouring the black lightning.
Itachi still in mid air was pulled down by Jura, but Itachi latched his legs around Jura's neck and twisted his body flipping Jura over and gaining minimum damage himself. Itachi and Jura stood up again as Jura swiftly brought down a heavy chop which Itachi evaded moving his body slightly to the side. Jura's eyes widened as Itachi kneed him in the gut before uppercutting him into the air. Itachi grabbed onto his leg bring him crashing down before he tossed him into the air once more.
Itachi's flickered white and black lighting as he began to inhale, tilting his head back slightly.
"Devils Lightning...Gods Lightning, Clash! Nephilims Rage!"
Itachi released the lightning shooting from his mouth and towards his target. Unlike a regular breath attack, this one spreads wider than any Slayers Roar, Bellow or a regular Rage, giving their opponent now way of escape. The attack collided with Jura, electrocuting him, most of his clothing now shredded as he began to descend.
"I've lost..."
Jura smiles as he came crashing down onto the ground. He keeps looking towards the sky seeing that the clouds have been split.
"Itachi and Laxus have won! Laxus defeated Lightning God Slayer Orga gaining one point! And Itachi has defeated one of the Ten Wizard Saints and the leader of Lamia Scale, giving them another five points for the total of six points!" chapatti shouted, crowd cheering
"Yay! Uncle Itachi and Laxus won!" Himawari said jumping up and down
"Of course they won!" Sarada said trying to calm down a jumpy Himawari "Now we just have to see Erza beat that Minerva."
The guild cheered, but Master Mavis watched Itachi closely. No one had noticed but her, that Itachi was clenching his fist and had a small amount of blood trailing down the side of his mouth before he wiped it off.
Back with Erza, she is seen laying on the ground as Minerva notes that standing on her injured leg is futile. However, Erza replies that she will manage somehow as the match is one she has to win at all costs.
"I told you before. You people..." Erza and Minerva looked to their side, seeing two of Itachi's clones standing next to the injured Kagura and Millianna, who were still laying on the ground "...have made enemies of the one guild you don't want to anger."
"Oh, are you here to finish her fight?" Minerva asked
"No." The other clone said "We are confident in Erza's strength. She will defeat you."
Erza was glaring at Minerva, who used her spatial magic to cause explosions around Itachi's clones, who were now carrying Kagura and Millianna princess style, jumping away from harm.
"L-Let me go! I'm fine!" Kagura said
"Stop struggling. You'll make your wound worse." Itachi said as they landed at a safe distance "Erza, these two are safe with me. No need to hold back anymore."
"Just let yourself be embraced Kagura-chan." Millianna said as she stayed calmly in Itachi's arms "And Er-chan, I'm sure we'll be fine." Millianna smiled
Minerva caused a continuous amount of explosions making a large dust cloud, which Erza took as an opportunity to rush forward. Erza claimed she could see through Minerva's magic as she attacks Minerva several times with twin daggers. Minerva attempts to counter attack, but Erza evades her attacks as she then rushes forward.
"My fury is the guilds fury! Second Origin, release!" Debris began to rise around Erza as she was engulfed by a bright light "Nakagami Armor!"
The Nakagami Armor is an elegant armor composed of a short blue robe trimmed gold which is largely open in the middle, revealing much of Erza's chest. The robe is tied together at the waist with a simple red ribbon held together by a gold bead. She wears two large blue gloves which have gold trims flaring out in the ends. The gloves have red ribbons tied around the wrist and are adorned in a simple pattern of gold dots. She wears a large golden pauldron over each shoulder, bearing the image of a lion with an open mouth. She has blue and gold leggings which match the gloves in their pattern and design. Around the leggings are a pair of gold greaves. The knee plates contain a pattern similar to the tiara she wears.
Atop her head sits a tiara consisting of two blue rhombus shaped pieces to each side and a center blue triangular shaped piece. Each piece has a gold adornment inside. Two strands of hair from the sides of her head are each tied together by a golden bead with an intricate swirling pattern. Behind her is a large white sash which loops above her head with the ends hanging out towards the ground with a bead on each end.
The armor is equipped with a large halberd with a golden circular hand guard in the center. The blade is quite large with a semi circle of small rhombuses on the other side. A purple cloth is tied right below the blade.
Minerva continues her attacks and casts her magic, but no avail, as Erza dispels it by slashing through it with her Halberd.
'Nakagami Armor. It's said to consume so much magic that it hasn't been worn in ten years.' Itachi thought seeing Erza cut the magic, dispelling it 'An armor that breaks the laws of magic.'
"It can't be! How do you have this much power left?!" Minerva questioned
"You harmed the people I care about too much."
"D-Don't...!"
"Suffer the consequences!"
"Stop! I... I..."
Erza rushed forward and struck Minerva. "Nakagami Starlight!" sending her into the air spinning before crashing down skidding on the ground defeated.
"It's Erza! She beat Sabertooth's leader and earned five points! They're strong! Fairy Tail is too strong! Will they win without one member going down?!" Chapatti shouted
"The only other mage from an other guild is Sabertooth's Sting-kun." Yajima commented
Meanwhile Itachi's clone had set Kagura on the ground and his hand hovered over her stab wound.
"Wh-What are you doing?" Kagura slightly winced from a small jolt of pain
"I'm going to heal it as much as I can." Itachi replied his hand now glowing green "I'm not a medic, but I can at least give you first aid."
The other clone had set Millianna on the ground, placing her on her stomach as he was about to heal the cuts on her back. He lifted her cape when he found a sleeping Lector curled up grabbing onto her back. Itachi removed the small exceed as his hands began to glow green and they hovered over her cuts.
"I'm not much of a healer so we should get you two to some medics or someone specializes in healing magic." Itachi said
"It's fine. I'm actually a bit better thanks to-" Millianna stopped spotting the cat in Itachi's arms "Neko! Neko!" Millianna reached towards the cat but felt a sting of pain from her cuts "Ow!"
"Please refrain from making any unnecessary movements." Itachi said
"S-Sorry."
"Itachi." Kagura said now sitting up "I'd like to thank you and I'd also like to apo-" Kagura tried standing, but she tried getting up too quickly and she felt a jolt of pain from her wound as she was about to fall onto her knees, but Itachi had caught her "Th-Thank you."
"You can't move by yourself yet, so I will carry you." Itachi said crouching down motioning her to get on his back
"W-What?! No, it's okay I can walk by my-"
"You're in no condition to walk by yourself and carrying you on my back lessens the probability of your wound reopening." Itachi stated
Kagura gave up as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he placed his arms underneath her legs as he stood. The other Itachi clone had helped Millianna onto her feet as she looked at Kagura lightly blushing. Millianna then looked at the clone that was helped her. The clone and Millianna locked eyes with each other for a moment before he internally sighed and motioned Millianna to come closer.
Millianna smiled as she walked over and the clone handed her Lector as he placed an arm around her back and the other under her legs, lifting her princess style.
It was already dark as the clones carried the injured mages and exceed. Itachi opted out using his speed to get them to a medic for they aren't used to and moving them at high speeds would not be a good idea. He also opted out using Kamui as they would probably feel woozy in their stomachs or head. So it was settled with walking as they saw a white light shoot into the sky forming the Sabertooth guild mark.
"Let's go that way! Er-chan must be over there."
"I believe it would be in your best interest to get proper medical attention."
"B-But, we have Sting's cat, we should return him. Right, Kagura-chan?"
"I believe Itachi is right. We can always return the cat after their fight...but...I wish to see how it plays out."
"Fine, but we will stay at a safe distance away and if any wounds reopen, we leave." the clones said walking towards the light
They were now watching from corner a few buildings away from the location as the Fairy Tail team began arriving. Laxus had arrived holding onto his side, Gajeel had arrived looking some what tired, Erza had arrived limping using a large stick for support, and Gray arrived limping as well. They stood side by side as the cawing of crows was heard and a flock of crows flew and gathered in the middle of the Fairy Tail team, forming Itachi.
"What a spectacular sight. All of you are wizards I looked up to seven years ago." Sting said
"Cut the chatter. This is the final battle." Gajeel said
"We'll beat you one on one, who do you want?" Gray asked
"All at once would be fine. With your injuries, one on one would be boring." Sting said in a cocky manner
Itachi stepped forward. "You take Fairy Tail too lightly, and your eyes must be deceiving you for I am uninjured." Itachi said looking into Stings eyes "Show me you resolve, show me your power."
Stings white magic circled around him as his power increased. "I'll show you my newly awakened power!" Sting stated, his magic towered around him "White Drive."
Itachi made a few clones which stood next to each of his teammates before he stepped forward as his magic power sky rocketed. The massive amount of magic power caused the ground beneath them to shatter and the city of Crocus to shake. The amount of magic around Itachi made his figure look like a shadow with blood red eyes that looked straight at Sting.
Sting began to sweat and tremble as Itachi spoke. "Sabertooth...a feline... let me show you a feline that had struck fear into the hearts of many..." Itachi's eyes changed, his left into a green eye and his right into a yellow eye. 'Matatabi.'
'My turn.' Matatabi said
They watched crouch on all fours and his hair had been undone from his hair tie as his figure began to change and grow, blue and black flames engulfing his body, revealing the huge two-tailed beast.
Matatabi now in her form and in control, lowered her head growling before letting out a huge roar, sending Sting crashing into the building behind him.
Sting got himself out of the wall as he walked towards the Fairy Tail team standing side beside Matatabi.
"I'm ready when you are." Matatabi said "Mr. Pussycat."
Sting looked into the narrowed eyes of Matatabi and could feel the pressure of the wind as her tails swished. Sting was now trembling and fell to his knees, hands on his knees looking down at the ground.
"I...didn't win..." Sting said "I give up."
"That's it! The winner of the Grand Magic Games..." fireworks were going off above the Domus Flau "...is Fairy Tail!" chapatti announced the winners as the crowd cheered, confetti falling from above.
All the guild members were overjoyed and were celebrating their victory.
Meanwhile with Itachi's clones, Millianna had jumped out of Itachi's arms and ran towards the group once they were announced the winners.
"Er-chan!" Millianna shouted
Erza looked back as sting looked up and saw Lector in Millianna's arms, who began to wake up. Seeing Sting running towards him, Lector got loose from Millianna's arms as he ran towards Sting.
"Sting-kun! Sting-kun!"
"Lector!" Sting shouted crying, tears of joy, as he hugged his small exceed companion
Millianna then looked up at Matatabi. "Neko! Neko!" latching onto one of Matatabi's legs "So soft and warm." Millianna said rubbing her face on Matatabi's leg.
Erza then walked up to Matatabi and hugged her leg. "She's right, I thought it would burn, but it's warm."
Then the rest of the team joined in and the clone carrying Kagura walked up to her since Kagura didn't want to be left out.
One of the Itachi clones walked up to Matatabi and looked at her in the eyes. 'Are you okay with this?' he said in his mind as Matatabi smiled and nodded
"You're right." Gray said
"It's because you're Itachi's friends, comrades, his family." Matatabi stated letting out a purr since Millianna had climbed Matatabi and was petting her head "If you were evil, I would burn you to ashes. Now I believe I should let Itachi revert back to normal."
The members stood back and in a poof of smoke, Itachi had returned to his normal appearance. Itachi then held his arms out as Millianna dropped into them.
"Eh?! What happened to the Neko?!"
Itachi let Millianna down as she ran towards Itachi's clone who held Kagura.
"It's finally over." Itachi said
"The tournament anyway." Gray said
"By the way, did anyone see a flare?" Erza asked
"Nope. I was keeping an eye out for it the whole time." Laxus said "Well, except for when Itachi destroyed part of the city."
"I toned it down."
'That's toning it down?!' everyone thought
"I didn't see it either." Gray said
"The thing of it is, there ain't no way the salamander would remember to signal us." Gajeel said
"Izumi would though." Itachi said as he turned to look at the palace 'What's going on Izumi, everyone...'
"We should go back to the Domus Flau and regroup with the guild." Erza said, the others nodded in agreement
"I need to get Kagura to some medical attention." Itachi's clone said walking to the Domus Flau as the others finally noticed Kagura on his back
"How's your wound?" Erza asked who was also being carried by a clone
"Itachi gave me some medical attention, so it's closed up, but he insist I get checked out." Kagura said
"You're not carrying me like that." Gajeel said
"I wasn't planning on it." a clone said throwing Gajeel's arm over his shoulder and helped him walk
The other clones helped the others as well as Sting walked up to the original Itachi.
"Itachi-san."
"Hm?"
"Where's Natsu-san?"
"Natsu hasn't recovered from my training." Itachi said
"Wh-What kind of training do you do?" Sting asked
"You don't want to know." Laxus said making Sting pale
'P-Poor Natsu-san...'
They had arrived at the Domus Flau and were escorted to the infirmary, more like dragged to the infirmary, by Itachi's clones. They were all given any medical attention they needed and were bandaged up. The group left the infirmary as they walked towards the walked through the hallways and into the tunnel leading them into arena. As they entered the arena they were greeted by the cheers of the crowd.
"And here they are! Fairy Tail!" Chapatti shouted
The whole Fairy Tail guild ran into the arena and surrounded the group. Sarada and Himawari ran up to Itachi as they tackled him in a hug. Itachi smiled and returned the embrace.
The rest of the other guilds entered the arena as well and congratulated the guild. After some time the crowd began to leave the Domus Flau. The guilds were about to leave when one of the royal knights stood in front of them.
"The King has requested that all from the magic guilds to please gather in the center of Crocus."
Scene Change- R.T
Izumi and Mirajane exited the palace and into the palace gardens looking for Yukino.
"Yukino!" Mirajane and Izumi called out
"Mirajane-sama... Izumi-sama..."
The girls spotted Yukino sitting down, knees to chest, hugging her legs as they walked up to her.
"What are you doing here?" Izumi asked
"I'm sorry. I..."
"Come on let's go." Mirajane said offering her a hand
"I can't. If you're with me, you'll be stuck with misfortune. It's always been that way with me, bad things always happen to people around me."
"None of those around us blame anyone else when bad things happen to them." Mirajane said crouching down to Yukino level and embraced her "It's okay." Mirajane rested her forehead on Yukino's "Everyone's life has a meaning."
Izumi crouched down as well embracing them both, resting her own forehead on theirs. "Your life has a meaning." Izumi said causing Yukino to smile and cry, the three staying in that position.
Yukino stopped crying as they all stood. Izumi flashed through some hand signs.
"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
Izumi shot a giant fireball into the air as she then went through a different set of hand seals.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
Izumi shot fire in the shape of the heads of dragons which surrounded the the fireball and collided with it making it burst in the air.
"That wasn't a regular flare." Mirajane said
"An emergency flare. It was Itachi's idea." Izumi replied as the three left the palace gardens.
Scene Change- Center of Crocus
Itachi and the others were now at the center of Crocus, where all the guilds were gathered listening to the King of Fiore, Toma E. Fiore.
Itachi and the others had seen Izumi's emergency flare and were about to leave, but stopped when the words "10,000 dragons will invade the country" left the Kings mouth.
"...And so, I'm terribly sorry we don't have time to bask in the after glow of the Grand Magic Games, but I've just heard that this country is facing a critical moment." the King said
"10,000 Dragons?!" Master Makarov questioned
"Right now, a large scale strategy is under way at the palace. The Eclipse Project." the King stated "The objective of this strategy is to eradicate all 10,000 dragons."
"Is that even possible?" Cana asked
"That I am not sure... As the enemy is a swarm, I'm sure several of them, maybe even several hundred of them will survive."
"Yes, that's more realistic." Master Makarov said
"Wizard guilds, I must request that you lend us your aid. I would like you to use your powers to slay the dragons that survive. That is all. Please save this country!" the King begged bowing his head
The guilds cheered and roared showing the king that they would protect their country.
"Alright! I'll go on a rampage one more time!" Gajeel said
Itachi crouched down looking at his nieces, placing a hand on their shoulders. "Sarada, Himawari, it's best that I take you back home."
"No!" they said
"Uncle Itachi, we aren't going to leave you and the others! We are Fairy Tail members too!" HImawari said tears forming as she hugged Itachi
"Taking us back home would spend too much of your chakra and by the time you return here, things could have gone bad. We are staying to help in whatever way we can, Uncle Itachi!" Sarada said hugging him
Itachi hugged them, holding them tightly. "I promise, I'll protect you both with my life. And if things go bad, I'll transport you back even if it costs me my life."
"The opponents are dragons." Sting stated
"Therefore, it's time for us Dragon Slayers to step into the spotlight." Rogue said
"I'll be with the Dragon Slayers as well." Itachi said white lightning flickering "I might not be a Dragon Slayer, but I'm a Slayer, all in all. I will also have the tailed beasts battle against the dragons."
"Same here! Be it Gods or Dragons, I'm a Slayer as well." Orga said black lightning flickering
"All the guilds wills are one." Ichiya said
"What a lovely parfum." Nichiya said
"Kagura-chan you need to rest!" Millianna said
"No, everyone must fight." Kagura said
"Wild Four!"
"We're the Sexy Four." Arania from Mermaid Heel said
"Thank you...Thank you...Thank you...Thank you." the King cried, teas trailing down his face "...kabo..."
Everyone froze and looked at the king in silence.
"Kabo?!" Erza questioned
"That parfum of that last bit..."
"Oh! You're-"
Itachi cut off Himawari, placing a hand over her mouth.
The King shot his head up realizing his blunder. "Everyone I'm counting in you!"
