Enjoy! Please leave me a comment! :)
Dark clouds were circling above.. thunder roared all around them… it was cold and the wind was strong… but at the center of the storm… it was calm… and there stood… Zeref…
He watched the frail white haired girl trembling in fear on the ground… her eyes were darting around… and she looked mortified at her surroundings… black aura was swirling around him.. and when he took a step towards her… she darted her eyes towards him… like a deer about to be run over…
"You are a celestial mage am I correct.." Zeref said in a caring tone.
Yukino was surprised.. he spoke with concern?.. who was this boy in front of her.. could he?
"I am Zeref." The man said with a glare..
She froze… was petrified.. there in front of her.. was the most dangerous enemy to all of mankind.
"It is fitting that you, a celestial mage, will be a key to the salvation of mankind."
"salvation?!" Yukino looked around.. angrily pointing to his massive army… "you plan to kill us all… aren't you a man yourself?.."
"yes.. SALVATION… salvation from pointless existence… throughout time I have watched man.. make the same mistakes throughout history… it is always the same… man will never learn from his mistakes… it is pointless living… and so I will save humanity from its meaningless existence on this planet… with its annihilation.."
"NO! you're wrong!" Yukino screamed with tears dropping from her chin.. "that is not salvation.. you're going to annihilate us from existence! Please.. stop believing that twisted theory…" she glared up at him. "I WILL NEVER HELP YOU…"
"Then I have no choice…" Zeref said indifferently..
A magic seal began to glow from under Yukino's body… and soon Yukino's screams were heard throughout all the mountains..
It took two days… for the allied forces to arrive at the capital… It had taken longer than anticipated.. as they were ambushed several times by Zeref's forces… And it was during the trek towards the capital.. that every mage felt and understood… that they really were in WAR.. there were several casualties.. one of the more devastating.. Mermaid Heel's guild master passed away from her injuries that she got while protecting her guild from Zeref's attack…
They had been careless.. underestimating the power of their enemy.. but they wouldn't make the same mistakes again..
The guild masters were being guarded by their best mages… Gildarts and Laxus next to Makarov.. Jura and Lyon next to Babasaama… Bachuss and Rocker next to Goldmine… Ichiya and Hibiki next to Bob.. recently appointed Kagura by Arana and Risley…
They entered the city.. and found.. the citizens panicking… packed and running out of the city.. children and babies were crying.. and royal guards were directing the people to exits and routes for their safety.
Makarov looked towards Erza.. and she nodded.. she looked back at Natsu Gray Wendy… and "Lucy"… they nodded back at her.. the team ran off to scout together for the surviving Sabertooth members…
Laxus watched wearily.. as Lucy went off with them… wanting to protect her.. Gildarts.. watched with a worried expression towards the team that left as well…
Makarov then looked towards Mira.. and she nodded as well.. her team deploying to aid the scout.. her team consisted of Gajeel.. Juvia.. Freed and Elfman….
The other guild masters deployed their own scout teams.. as the army continued onward towards the center… the King's castle…
After running around for a while.. Natsu picked up a familiar scent.. he dashed off.. with the rest of his team following him… he came to a building.. and at the opposite direction of him.. running towards the building as well.. was Gajeel.. and the rest of his team… the two ran up to the doors.. and Natsu kicked the door open… he stopped at the entrance.. looking around inside… with Gajeel coming up beside him…
Inside.. they found them… Sting Eucliffe… Rogue Cheney.. Natsu and Gajeel walked up.. towards the wounded dragon slayers..
"WENDYY!" Gajeel yelled.. as he noticed the dire conditions both Sting and Rogue were in.. his heart panged.. as he noticed.. Frosch.. unconscious in Rogues arms… Rogues eyes.. dull and staring off into the distance..
Wendy and the others ran inside the building.. and gasped as they saw the people inside building.. all Sabertooth members… wounded… with dried tears on their faces..
She noticed Gajeel with Rogue.. Natsu with Sting.. She ran up to Rogue first.. knelt on the ground.. and began to heal him…
Natsu put a hand on Sting's shoulder… Sting stared into Natsu's eyes… with dull eyes… that took Natsu by surprise.. Natsu's eyes widened… Sting… was broken.. Natsu clenched his fists… and grinded his teeth…. His face turned feral…
"ZEEERRREEEFF!"
"Lucy" stood at the doorframe.. watching frozen… as she noticed that all the sabertooth members besides Sting and Rogue.. had their eyes on her.. their pained stares.. all on her…
Back at the guild.. the real Lucy was in the chamber again.. training with Capricorn… but then she felt the distress from Gemini.. she opened her eyes and brought her right hand to her keys… Gemini's keys.. she focused and closed her eyes… she clenched her fists…
"Lucy-sama…. Is everything alright..?" Capricorn said
Lucy inhaled a deep breath.. and slowly exhaled.. she opened her eyes with a deadly glare.. not at Capricorn.. but at the dragon lacrima in front of her… she got up from her seat.. and walked up to it.. she put her hand on it..
.
"I will never forgive you… Zeref… We will destroy you.." Lucy said.. as her body began to emit off yellow light.. and light blue magic aura twirled around her…
.
Capricorn watched his master in silence…
The five guild masters stood around the bedside of Sabertooth's guild master…
"Sting…" Master Makarov said softly..
Sting continued to stare up at the ceiling.. with his dull eyes.. Lector at his feet on the bed.. crying for his Sting-kun… and all their dead members…
"We know where Zeref is…"
Sting's eyes widened slightly..
"In a few hours.. we will attack him directly.. we cannot wait any moment longer…"
He moved his head to face Makarov…
"Sting.. Zeref attacked both your guild and Mermaid Heel.. earlier this week.. and we have reason to believe that he was looking for a certain someone… and I think you know who. "
He shot up from his bed.. and sat up.. staring into Makarov's eyes..
"He needs a celestial mage.. for a certain powerful spell… that could be a great disadvantage for us.." Bob said softly..
"In a few hours.. we will attack Zeref.. he is currently gathering his forces.. in the very mountains your guild was located.. we need as much help as we can get… so please… GET UP.. find your courage again.. lead your members… fight with us.." Goldmine said
Sting and Goldmine looked at each other.. "We will help you avenge your family.. and help you get Yukino back.. so GET UP.. you are Sabertooth's guild master..."
"YEA GET UP!" Natsu barged in.
"NATSU!" Makarov yelled with a vein sticking out of his forehead.
Natsu ran over in front of Sting's bed.. "Yo Sting.. you gonna lie here all day.. or are you going to fight.. and show the worldwhat it means to be a Sabertooth.. everyone's waiting for you… Yukino is waiting for you.." he said with his arms crossed…
Sting… clenched the bed sheets in his hands.. his eyes narrowed.. and he growled.. "Sabertooth.. will fight…. And Zeref… will feel the wrath of Sabertooth's guild master… the white dragon slayer…" White magic aura emitted from Sting's body… he noticed that he was fully healed… and he quickly got off the bed…
Makarov, Bob, Babasaama, Kagura and Goldmine.. smiled.. Natsu grinned.. They filed out of the room…
Rogue was waiting outside for Sting… they glanced at each other.. one look to let each other know… their anger.. and determination to fight.. Lector and Frosch walked beside their dragon slayers… Rogue looked down at Frosch… who look up at Rogue with a smile… Frosch was alive beside him.. and he planned to keep it that way..
.

Outside the castle.. the mages waited… the city had been evacuated… the king and the royal members had evacuated as well… leaving the capital… a ghost town… they could see the dark clouds above the mountains next to the capital… an ominous aura seeping out from there… they stared towards the direction of the clouds… preparing themselves.. for the long battle ahead..
The doors of the castle opened… and the guild masters walked out… the army split into two.. letting them proceed through them… Master Makarov was in front with Bob… Babasaama next to Goldmine.. and behind them… Sting next to Kagura… walked out… white magic aura seeping out from him…
The Sabertooth guild members watched their master closely… their master's fighting spirit..
Sting stopped walking in front of his group of Sabertooth members and spoke loudly… "I don't need to tell you anything… I'm sure you all feel the same as I do…. Let's show Zeref… the wrath of Sabertooth.."
His guild members clenched their fists… their fighting spirit revived… their need to avenge their dead.. their need to make Zeref pay for destroying their guild… they would show him…
Sabertooth all roared in unison..
At hearing Sabertooth's fighting roar… Kagura thought it would be good for her own guild.. to get their fighting spirits up as well.. everyone was depressed by the death of their beloved master..
"Mermaid Heel! Do your best! Survive! Avenge our master! Fight! Fight for our future!" Kagura yelled confidently.. her sword gripped in her hand.. raised up high above her.
The women all roared…
Goldmine smiled and yelled… "Quatro Ceberus!"
His guild members roared.. fists in the air.
Babasaama yelled "Lamia Scale!"
Her guild members roared louder. Fists in the air..
And last but not least… Master Makarov yelled aloud. "FAIRY TAIL!"
All the fairies roared… louder than all the other guilds… they were all pumped up.. to defeat their enemy..
The mages all began to walk with their masters in front.. united together.. they would not fight alone… they would fight together.. with friends.. to defeat Zeref.. once and for all.
In the distance… a dark creature was flying through the clouds.. towards the direction of the dark storm brewing in the mountains… the mountains were familiar…. He had been there before… he narrowed his eyes… the magic auras he was sensing from that direction… made his excitement increase… flapping his wings harder.. he increased his speed… and..
"RROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRR!"
The dragon slayers stood… waiting at the top of a mountain… they were watching below… and were shocked and speechless at the sight…
A crater was lined with mountains around its edges.. and in the center of the crater… was a large dark mass that filled the crater… waving up and down… and this dark mass… was Zeref's army…. Army of dark monsters… in the center of it all… was Yukino… tied up by her arms.. to two parallel poles… her arms outstretched..
In front of her.. was ZEREF..
"Warren… you guys getting all of this?" Natsu thought.. sweat dripping from his temples..
Back at base camp.. Hibiki was using his magic ability Archive's information transfer…. Everyone of the mages were filled in.. to what the dragon slayers were seeing.. they were all speechless as well..
"yes….Natsu… we see everything…" Warren thought.
"Laxus.." Master Makarov thought.. "Do you see any points of weakness? Any route where we can attack from?"
"Jiji…. There are thousands of monsters down there… there isn't a corner we have an advantage from… best chance is to attack from above.."
But at that moment..
"RROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRR!"
The dragon slayers all turned their gazes towards the direction of the sound… eyes narrowed.. fists clenched.. ready for what was coming their way…
"ACNOLOGIA…" Gajeel thought aloud in his head…gritting his teeth and growling…
"We have to attack now! Before that dragon gets here!" Babasaama yelled.
"Alright… positions ready?" Bob said.
"All teams are at their positions… ready for orders." Hibiki said as he typed away on his archive.
"On three…" Master Makarov thought to all the mages…
3.
Erza and her army… crouched about on peak of another mountain…
2.
Jura and his army… hidden in the valley of the two mountains.. ready to attack the wave of monsters…
1.
Gildarts and his army… hidden in the valley opposite of Jura's… ready to attack as well..
.
ATTACK!
.
Erza's airborne army… flew to attack the monsters from above..
Jura and Gildarts attacked from the ground with their armies..
and also from above… an aircraft.. Magic Bomber Christina descended from the clouds… and began bombing the mass of monsters.. but being careful not to bomb Yukino who was chained in the middle…
.
Zeref stood calmly.. black magic aura swirling around him in a circular motion.. watching the battle occur before him.
