Cole slammed his fist onto the ground, as lightning began to surround his entire body, marking the completion of his transformation, the Fairy Conduit

'That's a new look for you Cole!' taunted Reaper while gathering lightning around his own body, simultaneously covering himself with the flames of the beast

Cole looked at Reaper in anger and fired a magnum bolt, this time, his lightning being a lot brighter than normal. Reaper grunted and fired back a scythe bolt, resulting in their attacks canceling out each other

He then noticed Cole standing right in front of him, Cole immediately swung his amp, to which Reaper brought out his scythe and blocked the attack

'You've gotten fast..!' said Reaper, as he attempted to fire a lightning bolt, which Cole dodged by rolling away and firing an alpha rocket.

'Out of my way!' yelled out Cole, right as he stood up and fired three alpha rockets simultaneously

Reaper gave a smile, as he stood still and and waited for the rockets to close in. He waited for the perfect moment to jump, but was surprised to see Cole standing right behind him.

'Here ya go!' taunted Cole as he fired an alpha rocket right behind him, knocking him into the other 3, causing a huge explosion

'Did he finish it?' asked Laxus

'Unlikely..' replied Master Makarov

'I'm not done yet Cole!' yelled out Reaper, as he emerged from the smoke, levitating from the ground

'Come with everything you've got!' yelled out Cole

'Oh now you've asked for it!' said Reaper, as he looked at Cole straight in the eyes. Reaper began to power himself up, causing the ground to shake, as bright crimson red lightning began to strike down near him. Cole stood motionless, with his eyes completely white the lightning aura around him growing fiercer and fiercer

'If this keeps up, who knows what will happen..' thought Ursa as she watched the sky turn darker and darker, with clouds blocking out the sun, and series of lightning flashing around

Cole and Reaper then dashed towards each other and got engaged in a serious fist fight, each of their blows dishing out tremendous amount of lightning on impact

Cole and Reaper took out their melee weapons and charged onto one another, Cole used his ice jump and was about to thunder drop on Reaper, only to be halted by Reaper's control of gravity, granted by the powers of the beast

'You're mine!' yelled out Reaper as he watched Cole struggle mid air and attempted to fire a skull bolt

Cole immediately used his frost shield to block Reaper's attack. He then fired an ice grenade onto Reaper, forcing him to evade, negating his control over gravity

As Reaper stood up, he watched Cole closing in at a very high speed. He stood still and waited for Cole to come by and as Cole was inches close to him, he attempted a punch blast, but Cole successfully used his ice jump to evade his attack.

'I know all your moves!' taunted Reaper, using his lightning tether to pin him down the ground once he was airborne, surprising Cole

'Damn it..' Cole grunted, as he got pulled onto the ground.

'Now I'll put you to sleep' said Reaper, as he aimed his palm at Cole, who was standing up after Reaper's counter attack

Reaper immediately fired a skull bolt, which Cole dodged by quickly rolling over and shooting right back at Reaper

'Agh.. You son of a!' yelled Reaper in anger as he got struck, after which he was struck on his chest by Cole's amp

Cole swung his amp ferociously, delivering powerful blows, after which he finished it off by sticking a sticky grenade onto Reaper and knocking him away with an alpha rocket

'I'll finish this!' yelled out Cole, as he was about to call an ionic storm, only to be interrupted by Reaper striking him with repeated scythe bolts

As Cole attempted to block out the incoming attacks, he noticed how Reaper stood still, taking the explosion by his sticky grenade, like it was nothing

'It'll take more than that Cole!' taunted Reaper, while firing back

Cole stood his ground and noticed Reaper firing

'Now, try and stop this!' yelled out Reaper, while firing repeated hell fire rockets.

Cole just stood still and blocked his attacks with his frost shield.

'I can't.. Keep this up much longer!' thought Cole, after which an idea struck his mind

Cole was on his knees, as he kept blocking Reaper's barrage of hell fire rockets. He held the shield with his left hand and punched the ground with his right, sending out spikes of ice onto Reaper, forcing him to jump and evade the attack

Cole immediately saw this as his opportunity, he fired 5 rockets aimed straight at Reaper, who used his firebird strike to evade the attack and close in.

'That was a miss!' yelled out Reaper, as he closed in and used his thunder drop right on top of Cole

Cole immediately rolled over, narrowly dodging the attack and then struck Reaper with an alpha bolt

As Reaper was about to attack, the five rockets Cole misfired earlier began converging towards Reaper. He looked up to see the rockets explode at him, one after the other

'Say goodnight!' taunted Cole, calling in an ionic storm directly onto Reaper's position.

The lightning storm was bright, and fierce, much powerful than anything Cole had brought on before. Everyone at the stadium covered their eyes, due to the sheer intensity of the lightning Cole had summoned

'Man.. That's some power..' thought Laxus, as he covered his eyes with his forearm

'The device has been charged completely, we have all the celestial keys, shall we commence operations ?' asked one of the guards to the princess

'We need more time!' she replied, as she watched the battle between Cole and Reaper

'But the device has been charged, we don't know if it'll stay that way long enough' said one of the guards working

'I understand, but I still need more time' she replied

She noticed Cole standing, as the smoke from his previous attack cleared off.

'Is.. This it?' she thought to herself, right after which she was surprised to see someone walk out of the smoke

'He's still standing..' she whispered

'This.. Is ridiculous' Cole thought, as he watched Reaper walk out of the smoke, almost unharmed

'How on earth did he survive that?' thought Laxus

'What's the matter? You don't look so happy!' said Reaper with a smile on his face

Cole grunted, as he immediately dashed right towards Reaper and delivered a series of punches. Reaper then blocked away some of his punches and kicked him in the abdomen, stunning him for a few seconds, after which he knocked Cole away with a punch blast, and followed his attack by sending a hell fire rocket

Cole recovered mid air and noticed Reaper's attack closing in, he immediately used his ice jump to dodge the attack.

'Darn you!' yelled out Cole as he fired magnum bolts straight at Reaper, who rolled around to dodge Cole's attack

'Come on! Is that the best you got?' yelled out Reaper

Cole stood on the ground, with his amp on his right hand

Reaper grinned and took out his scythe

'Let's dance!' yelled out Cole as he dashed at Reaper and attempted to strike, only for his amp to strike Reaper's scythe. The striking between the two weapons let out sparks of lightning even stronger than before. As the two were engaged in a fierce combat, Cole took a step back and fired a magnum bolt, stunning Reaper for a few seconds

'Take this!' yelled out Cole, striking Reaper with his amp repeatedly, ending his assault with an alpha rocket at point blank range, immediately vaporizing Reaper's body

'W.. What the?' thought Cole, as he looked around and was surprised to see Reaper nowhere to be found

Suddenly, the ground beneath him began to rumble, right after which Reaper emerged from the ground and caught Cole by choking him and lifting him against the ground

'That.. Was a clone..' said Cole, struggling to breathe

'Bingo, your attack did leave a big dent on me, I needed time to recover, so I sent a clone to buy myself some time!' replied Reaper as he brought his fist closer to Cole

'This is over, for you, and your guild!' exclaimed Reaper, seconds before he was going to knock Cole out

Cole closed his eyes and focused his energy on his body, releasing a burst of whitish blue lightning, stunning Reaper, forcing him to let go of Cole

'You never fail to surprise me!' taunted Reaper as he took his stance and stood his ground, while watching Cole stand up, with his eyes completely white from his transformation

'It's time we end this!' said Cole as he charged towards Reaper with his fists covered in a light blue lightning

'Here I come!' yelled back Reaper, charging straight towards Cole

Both of their fists collided once again, sending out a massive pulse of lightning across the area, cracking the ground underneath them

'The device, it's starting to emit electricity!' exclaimed one of the guards

'We thought it was ready before, but now it's complete!' added the other

'Inform the princess at once, we don't know how long we can keep this device at this state!' said one of the members

'Princess I think you should..' said the guard, interrupted by the princess, who raised her hand, ordering him to stop

'What I say is final, I don't want any more interruptions' she replied with a bold tone

'Yes your highness' replied the guard, while leaving her room

Cole rolled around to dodge Reaper's attack, he noticed how the white bands on his body started flickering

'Damn it, I can't keep this up for too long' he thought, as he fired back at Reaper

'I should go all in!' he thought, as he used his frost dash to close in towards Reaper.

'Big mistake!' yelled out Reaper, who waited for Cole to come close, after which he used his ionic drain.

Cole immediately used his ice jump, putting him inches away from Reaper's ionic drain.

'Impossible!' yelled out Reaper as he looked Cole airborne

'Say goodnight!' yelled out Cole as he charged his right hand and came in towards Reaper, punching him straight at the face.

Cole's Fairy Conduit form faded, he started breathing heavily, as the smoke cleared around him, he noticed Reaper lying on the ground, with his body regenerating

Cole aimed his palm directly at Reaper's face

'Give up' said Cole, as lightning flickered from his palm

Reaper grunted in anger, then he looked around, to see Gray, Ursa, Gajeel and Erza watching from a distance. He gave a smile, right after which he whispered to himself

'I'm sorry Frosh' he whispered, after which he looked at Cole

'You win McGrath, I give up' said Reaper, making Cole power down, bringing a smile to every Fairy Tail member in the arena

'Fairy Tail has done it! They have won this year's Grand Magic Games! With 1 point ahead of Team Sabertooth! Unbelievable! They've managed to beat the odds with all 5 of their contestants standing, for the first time in the history of the games, this is spectacular!' yelled out the announcer, crowning Fairy Tail as champions of the grand magic games, followed by a loud cheer from the crowd

'They did it! We won! I'm so happy!' yelled out Master Makarov

'Good job Cole' thought Master Mavis as she looked at him

'Looks like our work here is done huh..' said Erza as she walked towards Cole

'Erza.. Yeah.. We won!' replied Cole with a smile

Cole then turned around and noticed Reaper lying on the ground

'Hey..' he said, catching his attention

Cole extended his hand towards Reaper, surprising him

'That was a good match' said Cole, giving a half smile while extending his hand

Reaper grunted stood by himself, after which he just stared at Cole

'Yeah, some guild you've got there' replied Reaper

Cole didn't understand what he meant, but acknowledged Reaper's anger.

'The prediction was correct, it needs to be done, activate the device, and open the gate!' ordered the Princess

'Yes your highness' replied one of the guards, as the took the device outdoors. The device, flickering with lightning was kept on a pedestal, seconds after which, it was activated, sending a massive white beam into the sky

'That energy.. No way in hell!' exclaimed Cole as he turned around and looked at a massive beam of light penetrating into the sky

'Cole..' said Reaper, as he pointed at the beacon of light

'It's the RFI!' exclaimed both of them simultaneously
