"What the hell is going on!?" Haru yelled, fighting through a horde of armed men with Eisenmeteor, using his uninjured arm. He was easily beating them, but his movements were far slower and sloppier than usual.

"Don't push yourself too hard, Haru!" Elie, also fighting off soldiers with her Tonfa Blasters, told him. "I know..Not like I have a choice!" He replied, kicking a soldier in the chest, sending him toppling into several others.

"This is an emergency…We both saw Jii-san in his giant form..He got taken down. Whoever's here, they're strong. Not to mention that giant explosion we saw earlier, and the fact that all these soldiers came out of THIN AIR." Haru summed up.

"Yeah..We have to find Wendy ASAP so she can heal you..And hopefully find master Makarov as well." Elie gulped. "We will definitely find him..There's no way he can just bite the dust like that..Not while Laxus is..!" Haru was interrupted by Elie firing a blast right by his head, and into a soldier that was ready to attack behind him. "Don't get distracted! We have to deal with them first!" She told him. "..Yeah!" Haru nodded.

-Let Location—

"I told Natsu to go on ahead and leave them to me but..This is getting really annoying.." Let sighed, beating down on a group of soldiers with his bare hands. "Fire Ballet!" One of the soldiers fired a blast of fire at him.

"Finally. I was getting pretty hungry." Let said as he gobbled down the fire. "Looks like you're all mages, huh…Even if that's some pretty weak magic." Let burped. "He ate it!? So this guy is the rumoured Salamander of Fairy Tail!?" The soldiers stepped back in fear. "Not exactly." Let smirked.

"It's fine~, It's fine I say~." A voice called, getting closer. "You guys are no match for him." Let turned around to see a long blonde haired, young, lean man of his height and weird eyes approaching him. "Master Zancrow!" The underlings called.

"You guys go search for Zeref. I'll handle him." Zancrow told them. "Right." One soldier obeyed. "You saved us.." One sighed with relief. "This guy is crazy strong.." One warned. "Be careful." Another told him.

Zancrow's smile went to an angry frown instantly. "Did you just say..He was strong? There is no guild stronger than Grimoire Heart! We are the strongest guild!" Zancrow growled. "WE DON'T NEED WEAKLINGS LIKE YOU!" Zancrow yelled, as black flames engulfed the soldiers, burning them to nothing as he laughed.

"Black fire..?" Let's eyes widened with surprise, but instantly squinted with anger. "Bastard..You killed your own allies.." He growled. "AHAHAHA!" Zancrow continued to laugh, throwing another wave of fire at Let.

"Weren't you paying attention!? Fire doesn't work on m-!?" Let prepared to ingest the flames, but at the last second he leaped out of the way, rolling to a stop and getting back up. "TOO LATE!" Zancrow screeched, throwing one more fireball at him, giving him no time to dodge.

Let reacted in time to raise a guard, trying to fight off the fire. "I can't..Eat it..But I'm full-fledged dragon race.." Let questioned as he fought out of the flame's path, a little damaged. "You're far too arrogant for a mere dragon race!" Zancrow raised a fist to the sky and brought it down, sending a stream of black fire at Let from above, that caused a fierce explosion.

Let leaped forward out of the smoke, his clothing shredded and burnt, his body somewhat damaged, and threw a flaming fist at Zancrow. "Heh! You won't catch me off guard!" Zancrow lit his fist on fire as well and threw it at Let.

The fists collided, equal at first, but after a few seconds, Let leaped back in pain, holding his scorched hand. "You may be able to handle the fire from a petty dragon..But it's blasphemous to even think you could handle mine..I'm worlds above the fire you're used to..My fire is the one used to slay gods..Fire God Slaying Magic!"

-Musica Location—

"Hm? They've disappeared just like they appeared.." Musica stated as he looked around, the soldiers having vanished into thin air. "Looks like Capricorn called them back..He must've found that stellar spirit girl he was looking for." A man with silver hair and glasses wearing a coat told him.

"And you are..?" Musica asked. "In the desolate forest, fairies and demons meet..This is our battle frontier! My name is Rustyrose!" He answered in dramatic fashion, using a loud enthusiastic voice and too many hand gestures.

"Why do I always get stuck with the weird ones.." Musica sighed. "Sorry. I don't have time for you." Musica gripped his silver necklace. "My thoughts exactly." Rustyrose smirked.

-Mira and Lisanna Location—

"Did this guy just grow out of a tree!?" Lisanna asked with disbelief. "You..Were you the one who caused that explosion?" Mira asked the brown haired, bearded, tall, man in front of them. He wore two crescent moon ear rings and had a scar running from the top of his left forehead down half his face.

"Explosion? Ah, yes..The magic council was attempting to interfere…Brought an entire battleship to fight. It's too bad I couldn't allow them to reach the island. My name is Azuma." He introduced himself. "One of the 7 Kins of Purgatory." He lifted up one arm, engulfing the two sisters in an explosion. "Let's get started, shall we? There's a chance you might make me fight at full power…Demon Mirajane."

-Back to Haru-

"Who is this guy..?" Haru and Elie were staring at a very tall, fat man, who was walking around as if he was lost. He noticed them and jumped, startled. He stood frozen, staring at them, like a deer in headlights. Haru waved, but was punched in the head by Elie. "Don't wave! He's an enemy!" She told him. "Ouch…Hitting a cripple..Even Erza wouldn't..Well she probably would." Haru rubbed his head.

"Oh! You're the Rave Master and the weird girl!" The man, Kain, remembered. "Weird girl!? Coming from you!?" Elie shouted. "Yes." Kain reached for her head, but Haru kicked him in the face. "Who do you think you're trying to touch!?"

"Owww.." Kain rubbed his face. "Sorry. Can I have a strand of your hair?" He asked, pulling out a doll of sorts. "Yeah, sure." Haru reached for his hair, but Elie hit him in the head again. "Are you that big of an idiot!?" She yelled. "OUCH! SAME SPOT AS BEFORE!" Haru rubbed his head. "He probably needs your hair for that doll..Maybe a voodoo magic.." Elie guessed.

"WHAT!? HOW DID YOU..I-I mean, I definitely do not use voodoo magic! 100% honest! doesn't need your hair to control you!" Kain denied. "Pffft.. ?" Haru laughed.

"Don't laugh! It took me a long time to name it!" Kain told them. "Well, if that's NOT a voodoo doll, how about using your own hair and proving it?" Elie asked, relying on his stupidity. "Sure." Kain took a strand of hair, placed it on the doll, and handed it to Elie.

"He's a bigger idiot than Natsu and you combined..And that's saying something.." Elie smirked. "Yea-Wait.." Haru thought of what she said. "Go ahead. Just move the doll any direction and the owner of the hair will move the same way..I mean..They definitely won't move the same way because it's not a voodoo doll!" He told her.

"That so..?" Elie moved the doll to the left, and Kain moved as well. She moved it to the right, and Kain moved to the right. "It really is a voodoo doll!" She exclaimed. "No it's not! I'm moving of my own free will!" He argued.

"Wow! Let me try!" Haru said. "Here!" Elie handed him the doll. "Okay..!" Haru began making the doll move all sorts of weird ways, leading to Kain dancing, just as bad as Haru usually does. "I'm dancing because I want to!" Kain denied. "Well then..Here you go!" Haru snickered, making Kain do the splits.

"OOWWW!" Kain screamed in a high pitched voice. "Still doing that because you want to?" Haru asked. "O-Of course..!" Kain answered with tears in his big round eyes. Haru and Elie continued to laugh, bending the doll, and Kain at odd angles, making his body twist in ways not thought possible.

"That's enough! I admit it! It's a voodoo doll!" Kain snatched the doll back. "Aww.." Haru and Elie deflated.

"Dodoskoi!" Kain rammed his palm towards Haru's gut, who reacted in time to block with his blade, but due to him only being able to use half his strength with only one arm, he was still knocked back.

"Damn..I didn't want to fight until we found Wendy.." Haru regained his balance. "Should we run?" Elie asked him. "No..There are probably more of these guys on the island..If we run into another one, we'll be cornered." Haru reasoned.

"Outrun me? Don't underestimate me just because I look like this. I am still one of the 7 Kins of Purgatory." Kain warned. "I don't care who you are! You trespassed on our sacred island and hurt my friends..No matter what..I'm gonna take you down!" Haru declared.

"Even with that injury?" Kain pointed at Haru's arm, causing him to twitch. "Damn..He noticed.." Haru gave a pained smile. "He isn't as stupid as we thought."

"Hmmm!" Kain rushed them once more, but this time Haru ducked under his strike and countered with a slash. Kain smirked, as the weak slash bounced right off his iron like skin, before he backhanded Haru into a tree.

"Guh!" Haru coughed up blood. "As long as my hair is on the doll, I can manipulate my own body..Skin like iron works well for both offense and defense." Kain explained. "I have no choice..Please, Rave! Help me!" Haru leaped into the air, slashing down on him once more. "EXPLOSION!"

Kain raised his arm to block, and did so. "What..!? It didn't…Transform..?" Haru said in shock as Kain threw him aside like dirty laundry. "Silfarion!" Haru charged again, slashing several times, but none of the slashes were any faster than normal.

"Mist!" Kain turned his body to mist, each slash going through him, before reforming behind Haru and kicking him into the ground. "Why..Why won't Rave respond to me.." Haru struggled to stand, using one arm to push himself up, but Kain just kicked him back into the ground, stomping on him again and again.

"Get off him!" Elie ordered, firing several blasts from her Tonfa blasters towards Kain. "Dadasu Turn!" Kain turned around and knocked the blasts back at Elie, who tucked and rolled out of the way. "Why don't you use Etherion? Unless you still can't control it.."

"Shut up!" She shouted, smashing the blunt end of her Tonfa Blaster into his nose, making him step off of Haru. "Got you!" Undamaged, Kain quickly reached for her head. "Crap!" Haru reacted in time to grab Elie and jump out of the way.

"Haru..We have no choice, I have to try Etherion!" She told him. "It's too late.." Haru looked to the ground. "Too late..?" She asked, confused as to why Haru was giving up. He nodded at Kain, who was holding a strand of Haru's hair he managed to pull out when Haru dove for Elie just now.

"Sacrificing yourself for the girl..Admirable..But I will show you how cruel I can be." Kain responded, making Haru do the splits. "OUCH!" Haru squealed.

"What good is controlling the Rave Master if he's too weak to fight properly?" Haru asked. "If I'm controlling you, you WILL fight properly." Kain smirked. "..! RUN!" Haru quickly pushed Elie out of the way, as Kain made him punch, barely avoiding Elie.

"Kain! On your pride as a warrior, heed my last request! Don't hurt Elie!" Haru pleaded. "I promise I won't touch her..You will." He smirked, as he made Haru pick up his blade. "Aaaahh!" Haru grunted. "Stop! That's his injured arm!" Elie yelled at Kain, who ignored her and made Haru slash at her.

"Watch out!" Haru yelled, as Elie jumped back. "Run, you idiot!" Haru shouted as he was forced to keep slashing, Elie continuing to dodge, as he yelled in agonizing pain. "I can't..If I do.." She trailed off. "Seems like I can't make you use your powers with my magic..Oh well!" He made Haru grab his own throat with his arm, choking himself. "If she runs, I'll just kill you. She already knows that."

"I don't care if I die! As long as you're safe!" He told her. "You might not, but I do! How can I just leave you for dead!?" Elie closed her eyes to think, and then opened them with a plan in mind. "Haru..Do you remember the Tower of Heaven? When that Goth freak controlled me?" She asked.

"I do.." He answered in excruciating pain, clearly being tortured. "Do you remember what you did to try and snap me out of it?" She asked. "What does that have to do with..No.." Haru trailed off, his eyes wide. "Don't.."

"You put up no resistance. You couldn't fight me. Just like how I can't fight you right now." She raised her arms to her sides, completely defenseless. "You were willing to die just so we wouldn't have to battle each other. You shielded me countless times..Now it's my turn to sacrifice myself for you." She smiled.

"NO!" Haru was forced to raise his blade. "I know you won't die here today.." She closed her eyes and reopened them, staring into his scared eyes, which she was not used to seeing. "I'm sorry I won't be able to finish our journey together.." She apologized. "MOVE!" Haru was forced to lunge out towards her.

"But..I'm really grateful for everything. With you and everybody else..I was happy." She said, as tears ran down her face. "STOOOP!" Haru screamed at the top of his lungs. "I truly love you, Haru." She confessed as Haru swung.

"Goodbye."
