Hey guys, sorry this one took so damn long to get out. I had gotten major writers block for this one and it took longer than I thought to edit this chapter. I'm hoping that the next chapter won't take as long to finish.

It was morning in the fairy tail guild hall and everyone was talking with each other as they knew that sooner or later they would be needing to fight. Natsu and Lucy were talking with Grey and Juvia at the bar as Natsu was becoming increasingly worried. Happy and Raijin had left to scout the area and hadn't returned. That was three hours ago, and his body was tense with worry. "Natsu, calm down. They'll be fine." Lucy reassured her husband as she could always tell when something was bothering him.

"Luce, it's been three hours. It doesn't take that long to scout the area." Natsu reminded his wife while he sighed uneasily.

As if on cue, Raijin and Happy ran into the guild, seemingly out of breath and sweat coming off of Raijin's face as the guild looked at them with worry. "Raijin? What did you guys see?" Brandish asked walking over to him.

"Magic soldiers. All with the mark of Zeref on their bodies. They're about a half hour from reaching the city. I didn't even see any of the higher ups of Spriggan Tail." Raijin explained as Hibiki got out his archive and started communicating with the 13 generals of Alvarez.

"Everyone you know what to do." Makarov said with a smirk as everyone nodded.

"Be careful." Natsu said as he kissed his wife and walked over to Raijin and Grey.

Everyone got ready to leave the hall but stopped as an extremely loud roar echoed out causing everyone to cover their ears. "What the? Why is it so loud?" Silver groaned at the noise as he noticed all the adults were standing still and wide eyed as they realized what that was.

"Salamander, you know what that is right?" Gajeel growled out as Natsu nodded.

"Yeah. The group with the kids head out and try and stop the Magic soldiers. We'll keep constant contact with you all through Hibiki, Just be careful." Natsu said as they all ran off towards the entrance to town just as the roar echoed out again.

"Damn. Acnologia." Lucy growled as she noticed Natsu looking out towards the lake behind the guild.

"I can smell Acnologia. His scent's coming from the lake behind the guild." Natsu growled as the rest of the guild besides the ones who were tasked with staying inside, along with Juvia as Lucy wanted her on standby, walked out behind the guild.

What the guild saw sent shivers down their spines. It was Acnologia heading right towards the guild with a group of people on his back. Within a few minutes Acnologia had landed in the water in front of them. "It seems they did indeed make a plan." Jose remarked as there was a still silence as nothing but a wind blew by.

"But our boss did take this into consideration." Zero remarked before they all vanished.

"Crap. Everyone go find where they went!" Lucy commanded as the team that the guild dubbed team combat ran to find Zero, Jose, Ivan and any other higher ranking mages that they might've gotten to join them.

"Children of Igneel, Metalicana, Weisslogia, Skiadrum, Grandina, Antarcia, along with the fake dragon slayers. You may have been able to kill me during the war, but not this time." Acnologia growled towards the group of dragon slayers and the lone demon slayer.

After this statement Acnologia got ready for a breath attack and a second later a whirl of blue erupted from Acnologia's mouth. "Like hell that's work!" Natsu and Raijin yelled running into the attack and blocking it with their hands.

"What the hell are you all standing around for? We've defeated him before, that was seven years ago so there's no need to be scared like we're helpless!" Natsu yelled as him and Raijin went into their dragon force.

"Salamanders right." Gajeel smirked as everyone nodded and went into dragon force and Grey had his demon marks appear on the right side of his body.

"What's this I smell? Some more dragon slayers?" Acnologia growled as he looked in the direction of of where the kids were most likely fighting the magic soldiers.

"You're fight is with us not them." Sting remarked as him and Rouge sent roar attacks at Acnologia slightly damaging him.

"I'll go take care of them father. It seems it's a group of children along with some adults who are fighting our magic soldiers at the moment." A sadistic sounding woman's voice remarked walking on Acnologia's back.

"Father? Who the hell are you?" Natsu growled towards the woman.

The woman took off a black cloak and revealed she had long spiky black hair that went down to her ankles and had on a aqua blue jacket and black pants on. "I am Tresa. The chaos dragon slayer." The woman smirked before running off towards where the kids were.

"I heard that, Laxus, Cobra go after her, make sure she doesn't get too close to the kids!" Lucy's voice rung out from inside their heads.

"Right. We won't let a sadistic woman like her hurt them." Laxus smirked as him and cobra ran after her.

"Everyone attack him at once!" Raijin yelled as they all started a breath attack to start truly fighting Acnologia.

...

As the fight between most of the dragon slayers and Acnologia was starting to become extremely violent the combat team had split off to find the three higher ups that had appeared. Lyon, Meredy, Elfman, evergreen, Romeo and Macao were one group, Erza, Jellal, Wakaba, Jet, Reedus and Vjeeter were the second. The final group was made up of Levy, Droy, Max, Nab, Lucy, Brandish and Bixslow. "Anyone run into them yet?" Lucy asked through telepathy.

"Nope. Hey Hibiki, is archive finding them yet?" Lyon asked through telepathy towards the Blue Pegasus member.

"Not yet. I have no idea why. With so many mages using archive, it shouldn't be this hard just to find three signatures different from the others." Hibiki explained in a stressed tone.

"It's fine, we'll track them down soon." Lucy reassured as everyone continued to try and find them.

"You don't have to look far my dear." Jose's voice rang out as he appeared in front of Lucy's group taking out nab and max in one attack of his shades.

"Jose. Did you team up with them just for revenge against our guild?" Lucy asked as she changed into her Loke stardress form.

"That and the money I'll be getting once we win this war against your pathetic guild. It won't be long until Acnologia kills the dragon slayers." Jose chuckled as he sent a group of shades towards Lucy.

"Your shades don't work on me." Lucy smirked using a Regulus punch on the shades.

"Guys, we're in a jam right now!" Lyon yelled through the telepathy. "we're up against Zero and getting our asses handed to us." Lyon groaned before screaming out in pain.

"Me, Levy and Brandish will stay here and fight Jose. The rest go and help Lyon's group." Lucy commanded, causing Droy, Max, Bixslow and Nab to run towards them with the help of Hibiki Navigating them.

"You know, this is going to be quite easy." Brandish smirked as she used her magic to make Jose become extremely small.

"Levy, mind making a hole?" Lucy asked curiously as Levy nodded.

"Solid script hole!" Levy yelled as she created a hole right under the tiny man, forcing him to fall into it.

"Open, Gate of maiden, Virgo!" Lucy swiped her golden key through the air and the maid spirit appeared while bowing. "Virgo can you make sure he won't try anything anytime soon?" Lucy asked worriedly before noticing that Brandishes eyes went wide.

"No way, he's counteracted my magic." Brandish gasped as Jose crawled out of the hole.

"Princess. I think that Scorpio would be a better fit for this fight." Virgo explained before disappearing.

"Dragon script Iron!" Levy yelled as her body was engulfed in iron like scales. "We need to beat this jerk fast. If we don't we won't be able to help the others." Levy remarked as she sent iron kunai like objects at Jose, piercing his clothes and his skin.

"Well that's a new ability." Lucy smirked as she changed to her Taurus stardress and cracked her whip towards Jose and breaking his legs in the process.

"He won't be doing much now." Loke's voice remarked as he appeared in a glowing light. "I'll take him to the guild so that we can put some anti magic cuffs on him." Loke explained as he walked over to the pained man and just dragged him away. "For what you've done, I don't even care if you live through this or not." Loke growled toward the man.

"Hibiki, Loke's coming with Jose. We were able to defeat him but he's covered in blood and his legs are broken." Lucy explained through telepathy.

"That's good. The other groups are all in fights of their own. I'd suggest going to the team where Erza is. They're fighting Ivan and are struggling a little bit." Hibiki explained as Levy removed her dragon script armor.

"OK We'll be right there." Lucy explained as the three started heading towards the fighting.

...

"Fire dragons roar!" A pillar of flames erupted from the defense group as it charred and destroyed a group of magic soldiers. The group had been fighting the magic soldiers for quite some time and the kids seemed to be doing just fine with the help of the adults around them.

"She really is Natsu's daughter." Guildarts remarked as he used his crash magic on another group of magic soldiers.

"I don't think any of us have ever seen this amount of magic soldiers before." Asuka sighed shooting a group of soldiers with her twin pistols.

"They're seriously annoying." Cana groaned sending her cards at a group and zapping them with electricity.

"Why are you guys complaining? Daddy and the other other dragon slayers are fighting Acnologia. This is nothing compared to that." Kai remarked, glaring at the enemies as he punched them with glowing fists.

"Kai's right. No one has a right to complain when we aren't facing the biggest threat." Lisanna smirked clawing at a group of magic soldiers in her cat takeover form.

"You all may not be facing the strongest but neither are the dragon slayers." A woman remarked as she walked over towards them. "If the second generation dragon slayers couldn't beat me, I doubt you all could." the woman explained with a devilish grin.

"Who said you beat us?" Erik growled as a pillar of poison and lightning shot at the woman and slammed her into the ground.

"That was unexpected. So you know how to play dead it seems." The bored tone she gave the two was completely different from the angry glare she was giving them.

"Even though I hate it. We had to so we could at least get a shot on you." Laxus growled towards the woman. "Now, I don't like hitting women, but since you're the daughter of Acnologia, I'll make an exception." Laxus growled as he warped towards her and sent her up into the air with a lightning induced punch.

"You all need to leave. We'll be fine but Tresa came here to kill the fourth generation dragon slayers." Erik explained with a serious voice and expression.

"Right." Guildarts nodded, using his crash magic to destroy the surrounding magic soldiers so they could all run off to fight the other soldiers that were coming into the city.

"Good. I don't want them getting hurt." Laxus growled as Tresa landed in front of them, a sadistic smile on her face.

"Protecting you own kind. I will never understand normal dragon slayers." Tresa snarled, lunging at the two with her hands to attack them.

"What do you mean? You're a dragon slayer too." Erik questioned dodging the attack and grabbing her arm.

"I'm higher than you." She growled as Erik tossed her away. As she was sent through the air, she was hit by one of Laxus' punches, sending her into the ground.

"Like hell you are." Laxus growled as he sent a lightning ball at the chaos dragon slayer.

"Damn it. She's tough. She was able to knock us out for a while before we were able to fight her." Erik growled, wiping blood off of his forehead.

"Like hell I'm done!" Tresa yelled as she jumped up and slammed the their heads into the ground.

"You won't win." Erik growled as he looked up at the woman's eyes. "From my experience back when I was against this guild, I know how nothing stops this guild from doing what they need to win." Erik growled angrily towards Tresa before him and Laxus were able to grab her by her arms and send her away from them.

...

"Damn it, Ivan!" Erza yelled as she got knocked back by one of Ivan's attack only to jump back at him in her black wing armor. The fight had been going on for over a half hour and the only ones who were still standing to fight were Erza, Jellal, Lucy, Levy and Brandish.

"Damn. He wasn't this strong when Laxus fought fought him years ago." Lucy growled, holding her magic sword ready for an incoming attack.

"You all won't be able to beat us." Ivan smirked towards the group of mages, grabbing Erza's sword and tossing her away.

As The rest watched as Erza got sent into a nearby building, Lucy realized how he was so much stronger. "It's his armor. It's got magic inside of it that's increasing his power." Lucy explained to the group.

"Very astute of you. But that won't save you all." Ivan laughed sending his shikigami torrent at the group, sending them crashing through a building.

"Damn it. We have to figure out a way to beat this jerk." Levy growled angrily, trying to figure out a way to beat Ivan.

"Levy, can you create a fog in the area?" Lucy asked the blunette who nodded, "Erza's still down from getting sent through that building. Plus she's been taking more damage than anyone else. I want you to create a fog and then I'll go and attack him in my Taurus star dress. While I do that I want you guys to get Erza and see how she's doing." Lucy explained as they all nodded and started the plan.

As the fog from Levy's magic surrounded the area, Ivan smirked before getting a strike from the front by Lucy's fist. "So you flies made a simple plan?" Ivan's gravelly voice remarked before grabbing Lucy by the arm and sending her into the ground.

"No. My stardress wasn't even able to destroy his armor." Lucy groaned as she felt blood run down her face.

"Lucy!" Brandish yelled, noticing that Lucy was being pinned to the ground by Ivan, and started running towards her friend before a cloaked figure appeared behind Ivan.

"You are no longer needed, Ivan." An angry snarl came from the figure before they placed a hand on Ivan's shoulder, sending him away in an instant.

"What the? Who are you?" Lucy asked, cautiously getting up while keeping her distance from the cloaked figure.

"My name is Asher, the calamity dragon slayer." The cloaked figure remarked as the rest of the group walked over to Lucy. "And I am not an ally. I am just following the orders of my master." Asher growled before disappearing away from the group.

"Asher. We'll need to be careful. How are you feeling Erza?" Lucy asked worried at the scarlet knight who was limping slightly with the help of Jellal.

"Yeah. But I won't be able to fight for a while." Erza winced when she put too much pressure on her leg.

"Hibiki, we're finished up here. What's the situation with everyone else?" Lucy asked using telepathy magic to get in touch with him.

"Other than you five, the only ones in the attack team still able to fight are Evergreen, Bixslow, Lyon and Meredy. It seems they're fighting Zero and holding ground. Laxus and Erik are fighting against the chaos dragon slayer and are currently on the attack against her. Team defense is fighting off Magic soldiers at the entrance to town and are holding their own. The group of Slayers are fighting Acnologia and can't seem to get much of an advantage against him." Hibiki finished explaining as Lucy seemed to be deep in thought.

After a few minutes of silence Lucy finally spoke up. "We'll head to the guild to see the situation closer up. Have Porlyusica to be ready to heal Erza, I think she might've broken her leg." Lucy explained as her group headed to the Guild so Lucy could figure out what to do next.

"OK. Just be careful." Hibiki replied before continuing to monitor the town.

...

"Ice make eagle!" Lyon yelled creating a group of frozen eagles, sending them at Zero as his group was facing said former leader of the Oracion Seis. They had been fighting him for a while and had damaged him a significant amount and were staying in constant contact with Hibiki so they knew how each group was doing.

"Weaklings." Zero remarked, dodging the attack with ease, not yet realizing that Bixslow and Evergreen had left.

"Even though you've already taken a large amount of damage?" Meredy questioned as she forced the ground around them to shake with her ark of time magic.

"This damage is nothing." Zero remarked sending his dark capriccio attack at the two who easily dodge it while he was slowly starting to descend into the ground.

"That doesn't mean anything if you're trapped." Evergreen's voice rung out as Zero continued sinking below the ground. "Fairy Machine gun!" Evergreen yelled as she sent her attack hurtling at the red eyed man as a large laser like attack got sent towards Zero causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground, allowing Lyon to freeze him in place while Meredy rose the ground back up.

"It looks like master was right." A hooded man remarked as he walked over to the group with a black wind surrounding him. "You are no longer needed in Spriggan Tail's ranks." The man remarked as he morphed his hand into a swirling black drill and pierced Zero's heart.

"Another one?" Bixslow questioned as him and Evergreen appeared along with Erik running towards them all.

"Don't fight him, you wouldn't stand a chance." Erik remarked in between breathing heavily.

"He's right and I don't intend on fighting in this pathetic war. I am only doing what my master tells me." The man chuckled as he started walking away.

"All three of them have been defeated. All that's left is Acnologia and Tresa before our master reveals himself to you all. I will not be having a major role in this war. All that's left for me to do is protect Tresa once she falls at your hands." The cloaked man chuckled before disappearing in a black wind.

"Who was that?" Evergreen questioned worriedly, concentrating on the spot he was at.

"Asher, the calamity dragon slayer. He may say he's not going to have an active role in this war but I don't believe him in the slightest." Erik remarked before Lucy's voice rang out through their heads.

"Listen you guys. Erik, you need to head back to the back of the guild where the other dragon slayers are taking on Tresa and Acnologia. Evergreen, Bixslow, Lyon, Meredy, I need you four to head to where the Defense group is and help them finish up taking care of the magic soldiers and then you all need to head back to the guild. I have a feeling that something's going to happen once their master shows up." Lucy explained calmly towards the group.

"Sounds good. We'll be at the guild as soon as possible." Lyon remarked as everyone went to where they were supposed to go.

"She's become quite smart and calm headed, especially in such a situation. It seems Acnologia and Tresa will be defeated soon." A horned man smirked as he overlooked the city of Magnolia. He had been watching the town since the war started and had found some intriguing members of fairy tail, besides the dragon slayers. "Too bad these people won't join me, but that's to be expected since this is all just a means to an end." The man chuckled from his position as a breath attack from Acnologia was utterly blocked by the dragon slayers. "It seems the dragon slayers are stronger than we anticipated. But that makes it all the more fun." He smirked as he stood up, ready to enter the fray at any point.

"Master." The hooded man who had been going around the battle field said as he appeared next to the man in a whirl of black wind.

"Asher. Everything is going correctly." The man smirked with a toothy grin under his hood. "I will be entering the fray once Acnologia gets defeated. Once he loses, take Tresa away from the area. I trust you two to lead the ferals." The man chuckled devilishly.

"Of course master. I will do what's needed if you die against him." Asher smirked before leaving the area to let his master watch the fighting from a hilltop.
