On with the story
Natsu and Ikaruga were leaning together at the Sakura tree as Natsu was enjoying his moment of peace with her
He gives a kiss to her cheek as he leans his head to hers
Ikaruga smiled as she started humming her song to him
Natsu let out a relaxed sigh before it was halted by Kiara who came squealing in "Kyuuuuiiiii"
"what is it, Kiara?" Natsu asked her
"Kyuiiiii" Kiara squealed as Natsu's eyes widen for a sec
"what?" Natsu said as Kiara nodded
"what is wrong?" Ikaruga asked him
"trouble" Natsu replied as he looks serious for a moment before looking back to her
He was hesitant on leaving but Ikaruga nodded in understanding
"go" Ikaruga said as Natsu nodded
"when I deal with the problem, let's meet Haruka and Haruo, it's time for them to meet you" Natsu told Ikaruga as she nodded to him
Natsu stands up and grabs Chitetsu as he leaves for Magnolia
explosions rang out in the Magnolia City as members of Fairy Tail were getting taken out by the Raijinshuu
"that should take care of them" Evergreen said as she had defeated other members of her guild with her Fairy Magic
Footsteps were soon heard as Ever waved her fan to her side
"who shall it be this time?" Ever said with a smirk "be honored that the queen of the Fairies has honored you in her presence!"
Evergreen turns with her proud smirk only for it to disappear quick when she was face to face with Natsu
"N-Natsu!?" Ever took a step back as her face was filled with fear and utter shock
"Evergreen…I don't care what you do to the guild nor do I care what are you and the others trying to accomplish here.." Natsu muttered out before he slowly drew Chitetsu out of its sheath "but any harm that may come to Haruka and Haruo in my presence…"
Natsu swings Chitetsu to the side as a house was cut in half before it shattered down
Ever gulped nervously as she sweated in fear for she is facing a monster
Chitetsu shines as the sword glints sharp towards Ever
"ever single one of you shall be given no mercy…" Natsu said in a dark voice as his eyes glowed red
Ever fell to her butt as she looks in fear towards Natsu who had a red Dragon Aura roaring behind him
"what shall it be?" Natsu asked "stand down and undo what've you done or…"
Natsu leans Chitetsu near Ever's neck as the blade shined
"Eeeh!" Ever looks nervous to the blade as it was nicking her skin
"..I shall be tasting your blood.." Chitetsu finished Natsu's statement as a demonic aura appeared behind Ever
Makarov was walking back and forth as he was waiting on Kiara to get the message to Natsu
As he awaits, Erza and the petrified Contestants all turned back to normal
"ooh! Natsu must've defeated Evergreen!" Makarov exclaimed before he went to the girls who are very confused about what was happening
Natsu sheathed Chitetsu away as the man looks to Ever who was on the street, knocked out with terror plastered over her face
He looks to her before slowly walking away
"and she is a member of your mighty guild? How laughable" Chitetsu spoke
"silence" Natsu spoke out before looking up as his eyes squinted in anger
Gray was in an alleyway as he was in a battle against Bickslow
"hahahaha, what's wrong, Gray? That's all you got?!" Bickslow taunted as his flying Totems went to his side "you got?! You got!?"
"barely!" Gray exclaimed as he got back up and takes off his shirt "I'm just beginning!"
"that's the spirit!" Bickslow laughed while sticking out his tongue
The two were about to brawl when a flying magic slash came flying at Bickslow
"wow!" Bickslow jumped away from the attack "what the heck!?"
"what was that?" Gray said before hearing someone coming from behind him
He turns and sees Ikaruga approaching
"you're.." Gray uttered out as Ikaruga nodded and did a shush motion with her fingers
"hey! Who are you!? Gray's girlfriend!?" Bickslow exclaimed as his totems repeated his words "girlfriend! Girlfriend!"
"you should watch your words, foolish ones" Ikaruga said as her hand reached for her sword
"hehehe! Go Babies!" Bickslow shouted as his Totems flied towards Ikaruga before they all suddenly exploded "what!? my Babies! They've just!"
Ikaruga appeared behind Bickslow as she was sheathing her sword
"in the way of the path….a foolish one trips upon a stone…..and falls to the mother ground" Ikaruga uttered out before her sword clicked to its sheath
"why you!" Bickslow was about to attack Ikaruga when some Sakura Petals came flying by and he soon screamed in pain
A whirlwind appeared as flying air slashes attacks Bickslow from all direction before disappearing
Bickslow grunted in pain before he falls down, defeated
"such a strange guild…Natsu-han's comrades are filled with mysteries" Ikaruga said before she walks away
Gray was left alone with the defeated Bickslow as he sweats nervously
"man, I don't want to get on her bad side" Gray said as he was already afraid of an angered Natsu but having an angered mother is way worse
Makarov with the freed girls saw the result of the battle as it was Gray vs Bickslow and the winner was Natsu and Gray
"yosh! Bickslow and Evergreen are defeated!" Makarov exclaimed with a grin
"that's Gray for ya!" Mira said with a grin without knowing who defeated Bickslow in the first place
"now if we can find Freed and then Laxus!" Erza said before the runes suddenly started to turn red
"what's going on.." Levy sees the runes flying everywhere before it formed a floating red skull
"hey there, Fair Losers" Laxus' voice spoke out from the giant skeleton
"Laxus!" everyone exclaimed
"seems like you got Natsu and some stranger into the game." Laxus said "doesn't matter, I've decided to at a twist to the game"
"A twist.." Makarov said before looking outside and his eyes widen in shock "those are!"
Erza and the others looks to outside and they see with their eyes dozens of flying yellow orbs surrounding the town
"THE THUNDER PALACE!" Erza and the others exclaimed as they knew of the floating objects
"in a matter of minutes, those Lacrimas are going to be full charged, and they will blow up into beautiful fireworks, perfect for the Festival, right?" Laxus said with a laugh
"that fool! He will put the townspeople in danger as well!" Makarov exclaimed as he could imagine the amount of damage that might rain upon Magnolia
"you've only got 5 minutes before they go off, I'll be waiting at the Catherdal, defeating me is the only way to end this all" Laxus said "that is if you're strong enough! Ahahahahahaha!"
The skull soon burst into floating red runes and then disappeared
"THAT STUPID BRAT! DOES HE NOT CARE OF HIS OWN HOME!?" Makarov exclaimed before he suddenly grasp his chest "m-my heart..!"
"Master!" Erza and the others shouted as Makarov fell to the ground
"quick! His medicine!" Mira exclaimed as Lisanna ran to the bar
"Master! Hang in there!" Levy exclaimed as Makarov was breathing rather raggedly
"we're home!" Haruka and Haruo came in as the twins went to Mira
"Haruka! Haruo!" Erza looks in surprise before she hides Makarov from them "welcome home!"
"ne ne! is the preparation for the festival already done!? Can we change into our costume now!?" Haruo asked
"not yet! You've got to wait patiently!" Lisanna told them as Bisca and Levy were taking away Makarov
"what's wrong with Gramps?" Haruka asked as she saw them
"you know Master, he dropped when he couldn't drink anymore!" Cana told them as they didn't have to know what was happening
"oh. Ok!" the twins replied with a smile "ne! there were these flying balls in the sky! Are they going to be fireworks?!"
"y-yeah! They are!" Lisanna said before going behind them and started pushing them "come on now! I just remembered that I got some cake in the kitchen just for you two!"
"Cake!" Haruka and Haruo cheered as their eyes sparkled while their mouths drooled
Lisanna takes them away as she nodded to Erza and the others who nodded back
"Lucy, you guys stay here and take care of the guild" Erza ordered "me and Mira will find Laxus and take him down"
"are you sure you can beat him?" Cana asked "this is Laxus. You should find Natsu first and have him help you out"
"there's no time, we've only got 4 minutes left before those things blow up!" Mira said as Cana nodded in understanding
"good luck, don't hold back even if it is, Laxus" Cana told them as they nodded before going out
"where are Erza-neechan and Mira-neechan going?" Haruka asked while eating some cake with Haruo
"they're going to get more cake! We can't have our festival without a big party after it!" Cana told them as they cheered
"we're counting on you two, Erza! Mira!" Cana looks outside as there were only 4 minutes and 30 seconds left before the Thunder Place blows up
In the Easter part of Magnolia
The whole area was an utter wreck as trees were cut down, ground filled with craters, and charred grasses were everywhere
Natsu stood in the middle of the destruction and so was Freed who was leaning against a tree with dozen of burn marks and bruises all over him
"Admirable and respectable loyalty you have" Chitetsu spoke out as Natsu looks down upon Freed "but utterly foolish ideas you have"
"take away the Runes, Freed" Natsu told the man who looks at Natsu before closing his eyes and look down
Soon, all the Rune marks around the city were gone as there were no barriers left
"there…" Freed said as Natsu sheathed away Chitetsu and walks away "Haruka and Haruo….they've really grown up from the last time I saw them. You've really raised them well"
Natsu stopped in his tracks as he took a glance back at Freed who was smiling
"their innocent smiles and laughters…..to be truly speaking, I was against having them in this battle" Freed said as he looks down to his lap "in the end, I couldn't do anything for Laxus"
Natsu looks at Freed before turning and started walking away
"he's at the Cathedral" Freed told Natsu "he has the Thunder Palace set up all around the town, they will go off in 3 minutes, you better hurry"
"thank you" Natsu replied
"what for? I'm betraying Laxus' trust and i-" Freed said with a chuckle
"not that" Natsu said as he turns towards Freed "I'm thanking you for not harming Haruka and Haruo, your action in defying Laxus means that you still have your love for them and your family"
Freed looks to Natsu before looking down with a short chuckle
"I can't win you in battle nor can I win in words, huh?" Freed said as Natsu looks to the Rune Mage before walking away with his destination, the Catherdal
"what is your next action, Partner?" Chitetsu asked Natsu
"Laxus" Natsu replied
"and the Thunder Palace?"
"he has it under control" Natsu reached into his vest as he takes out the Dragon Gem
Within the Cathedral, a war was going on between the Majin and Titania as the two were trying to defeat Laxus who had the upper hand against them
"Gaaaahh!" Mira and Erza went flying from a lightning attack as they were damaged by it
"what's wrong? Is this what the Majin and Titania can give?" Laxus taunted as he was barely breaking a sweat
"tch! He gotten stronger!" Erza grunted as she tried got get up
"we can't waste any more time here! The Thunder Palace is going to go off in a few more seconds!" Mira exclaimed as she got back up and went into a battle stance
"agreed" Erza said as she got back up and equipped on her Black Wing armor
"still think you can defeat me?" Laxus asked cracking his knuckles
Erza and Mira were about to go on the attack when they stopped as to see Sakura Petals raining down
"Sakura Petals…" Mira and Erza muttered out before they heard footsteps coming from behind
They turn around and finds Natsu walking towards them
"oya oya, for the Red Slayer to join the game, what an honor" Laxus said with a grin "I suspect that it was you who took down Freed, huh?"
"stop this foolish game" Natsu said as he draw Chitetsu and pointed the katana at Laxus "or I will"
"hey hey, you sure about battling me? The Thunder Palace are going to go off in mere seconds" Laxus told Natsu "if you don't take them out now, Haruka and Haruo are going to get hurt too"
"he has it handled" Natsu said as this made Laxus raise an eyebrow
Gray and Elfman arrived to a certain part of the town as they look above to see the Thunder Palace
"there's got to be a hundred of them!" Elfman exclaimed "how the hell are we going to take them all out?!"
"we've just got to try!" Gray exclaimed as he was readying his magic
All of the sudden, thunder rang and Lightning strikes
"are we too late?!" Elfman exclaimed before seeing the sky darkens as thunder and lightning rang
"that's!" Gray exclaimed as he saw a claw appearing in the clouds
A long red snake like body was slithering around the sky as there were also claws appearing
Soon, Draco appeared as the Celestial Dragon Spirit let out a roar
"so LOUD!" Elfman exclaimed as he and Gray closed their ears from the Dragon's roar
"hey! Draco! What are you doing?!" Gray shouted out to the Dragon Spirit
"to clean your mess, humans" Draco uttered out before the Dragon spirit roared again "rain down upon the land! The 15 stars of the Northern sky!"
The dark clouds cleared before a giant golden magic circle appeared above Magnolia
"Heaven's Quasar!" Draco roared out before a magic circle appeared in front of him as the Draco spewed out a golden light that spreads all around and destroyed all of the Thunder Palace Lacrima
All of the floating Lacrima exploded as glowing dusts falls down upon Magnolia
"what power!" Elfman exclaimed
"so this is…the Dragon Constellation of the North Sky, Draco's True Power!?" Gray uttered out as Draco roared
"now…" Draco spoke before the Celestial Spirit soon disappeared "I shall leave the rest to you…Natsu"
"what!?" Laxus exclaimed in shock as he saw how Draco destroyed all of the Thunder Palace Lacrima
"Draco did it!" Mira said with a grin as they were going to win
"all that is left is Laxus!" Erza exclaimed readying her blace
"how dare you…" Laxus uttered out as lightning started to spark all around his body "HOW DARE YOU!?"
"move back" Natsu said as he stepped forward "I shall be taking care of this"
"disappear…DISSAPEAR FROM MY SIGHT!" Laxus shouted as his magic was rising
Natsu raise his hand to his mouth as the Oni Mouth Mask appeared and his eyes glowed red
Gajeel was heading towards the Cathedral as he was being followed by Gray and Elfman
"there's the Cathedral!" Gray exclaimed before the Cathedral's roof suddenly exploded in flames
"what the heck?!" Elfman exclaimed before seeing Laxus flying away with Natsu flying after him
"he's…" Gajeel gritted his teeth
Laxus crashed to the roof as the man had ragged breathing
Natsu landed on the roof as the man leaned Chitetsu to his shoulder
"had enough?" Natsu asked as he looks down upon Laxus
Laxus gritted his teeth before the clouds darken and a thunderstorm appeared
"NOT YET!" Laxus shouted as lightning and thunder struck the Lightning mage
"Resounding thunder, plunge from the heavens, and reap destruction!" Laxus' magic started to form on his right as he pulled it back before firing it "RAGING BOLT!"
"how foolish" Chitetsu said as Natsu leans the cursed katana towards the attack
The lightning struck Chitetsu as the electricity got absorbed into the blade
Natsu slides his fingers upon Chitesu's blade as Chitetsu had static dancing around before the sword turned into a lightning blade
"Raikiri Moodo" Chitetsu uttered out as Natsu swings the lightning blade to the side
Laxus gritted his teeth as he growled angrily
"NATSU!" Laxus lunged at Natsu with his fists coated in lightning
"Mugetsu Ryu Shin Ougi:.." Natsu uttered out before he disappeared and then re-appeared behind Laxus with Chitetsu leaned out
Laxus stopped in his track before he slowly fell forward and dropped to the ground
Natsu swings Chitetsu to the side as the lightning blade transformed back to normal
"Raiton Giri" Natsu finished his move as he looks upon Laxus' defeated form
Natsu takes off the Oni Mouth Mask as he sighs before walking off
"a guild is something you cannot take, but given. A guild is a family, I hope you know that, Laxus" Natsu said
Laxus's hands clenched as the man gritted his teeth in anger from being defeated
"come to the guild..once your wounds are healed"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
