with Bickslow it didn't go too well, he got his rear-end handed to him he was facing both Lucy and worse Erza the two bombarded him left and right, minutes later he was sent flying when he was hit with a Regulus Impact from Loke and a Purgatory Mace from Erza to send him through many buildings.
the two bumped fists with a smirk.
"ow" lucy said bumping her bear fist against Erza's armored one.
Mira was walking with a frown, she was done standing around doing nothing the minute the Thunder Palace was put up and her Master sudden collapse from stress, finding Laxus on her own.
she stumbled upon after awhile on Elfman.
"Elfman!" Mira cried and helped him along the two were walking along the canal.
"you don't need to help sis" Elfman stated "I can walk on my own" he said.
"Nonsense you can hardly walk on your own" Mira smirked a scolding tone, then the bridge broke apart and a hurt Juvia and Cana fell on the ground, the two looked and saw Freed.
"Freed" Elfman glared.
"Elfman and Mira" Freed bowed his head.
Laxus was in the Cathedral with a scowl with lightning arcing around himself "Bickslow you lost to, then you aren't any use to me in my Guild" he glared.
then a figure approached "ah finally someone worthy" Laxus smirked wildly, the figure was carrying multiple staffs on his back with blue cloak with gloves and bandages wrapped around his legs and arms and face covered, it was Mystogan.
"and here I thought I'd be bored" Laxus approach closer with his arms out.
"Deactivate Thunder Palace now" Mystogan ordered.
"Come now lets not waste this moment on who's the strongest" Laxus clapped his hands together making sparks go out of his hands.
"I have no use for petty and trivial things" Mystogan said "Besides we both know It's Gildarts whose the strongest" he reminded.
"he's not here, he doesn't count it's just the two of us men" Laxus shook his head.
"I think you missed out some important members out of the Strongest" Mystogan stated.
"Oh and who's on that list?" Laxus asked.
"Erza, Mira" Mystogan started.
"those two can't do squat, Mira is too scared to fight so she's out Erza couldn't even stop Evergreen's Stone Eyes" Laxus interjected.
"I wasn't done yet" Mystogan frowned behind his mask "that other woman with horns" he said.
"you mean Seilah the Demon" Laxus snorted "I'll admit that horned lady is incredibly strong but still can't compare to me" Laxus said.
"and there's one other you left out" Mystogan said "this man who has recently has rose up in power and reached near impossible heights, a man who achieved a unreachable strength, power and might through hard work and training where normal mages couldn't reach, even for a dragon slayer should be unfathomable" he went on.
"Don't say it" Laxus frowned.
"The Prince of All Fire Dragons, Natsu Dragneel" Mystogan said with no hesitation.
"why does everyone think he's so special, he's nothing always will be" Laxus growled out.
"That man I feel will do great things months to years to come, there will be nothing he can't over come" Mystogan said "Your a fool to be blind to realize the unlimited potential that lives within that man" he said "if I had to put my jewels on this final battle between you and him, I'd put my Jewels on Natsu" he said 100% confidence.
"You will loose that gamble" Laxus hissed.
"Really, cause word on the street he had no problem tossing you around earlier" Mystogan stated with a smug tone.
"How many times do I have to tell everyone, he got lucky" Laxus snapped.
"Well lets hope your 'luck' doesn't run out" Mystogan stated, they two charged at the other with a explosions power that blew out the windows.
Back with Freed
"can't we get a break" Elfman sighed annoyed as Freed pulled out his sword again.
"not when this games over" Freed explained.
Mira stepped forward "Freed stop this at once" she ordered.
"I'm afraid I can't Laxus enemies are my enemies" Freed said coolly.
"for a high regard mage you really fell low, by planning Laxus's lap dog" Elfman stated and put Mira behind himself "and I'm here to pound what it means to be a man, make his own decisions" he cracked his knuckles.
"Really cause you seem to have listen to Natsu during the Phantom Lord incident" Freed pointed out.
"his Idea to take Phantom by surprise worked, he gave us that manly win" Elfman frowned "now man up and fight me" he demanded.
"I'm afraid you were defeated you have no business here" Freed said firmly "how about Mira" he said.
"Stay away from her!" Elfman glared and jumped at Freed who dodged.
"You broke the rules, you must be punished severely" Freed stated slashing the air "Dark Ectriture: Pain" he chanted as the runes appeared on Elfman making him writhe "Pain Pain Pain" he thrusted with his sword Elfman doubled over with agony.
"Stop it Freed!" Mira demanded desperately but he didn't listen.
"Dark Ectriture: Fear" Freed waved his sword more runes appeared on Elfman's head making him collapse on his knees as his worst memory assaulted his mind, him Killing his sister Lisanna.
"Now Pain Pain, Pain" Freed jabbed his sword a bunch of times Elfman wailed in grief and pain.
"I'm Sorry Sis" Elfman yelled.
"Stop this Now Freed please, STOP IT!" Mirajane cried with tears falling and fell as she closed them tight "even though you may find yourself at a hardtime and when you feel helpless just remember it's a test and a moment of Faith, you just have to believe" Mira's eyes snapped open as she remembered Natsu's words to her many years ago.
"Dark Ectriture: Suffering" Freed casting another spell making Elfman writhe on the ground with torment of his memory.
"In time you'll find your will to fight, you just have to believe and trust yourself, cause I believe in you" Natsu's words echoing in her head.
"Dark Ectriture: Death" Freed narrowed his eyes, Mira's eyes widened in horror as the memory of her sister's death attacked her.
"Believe in yourself because I believe you" Natsu's words repeated in Mira's head again she closed her eyes "Thank you Natsu you have wormed your way into my heart and always believed in me even when I gave up, your time with me had filled that aching hole in my heart, I will stop running because you have giving me strength" her eyes snapped open in determined teary glare.
Freed then paused when he sensed a incredible source of power, he turned and saw Mirajane had started to glow around her feet and her body glowed to as her dress and hair started to moving to a none existing wind, the Man's eye widened "so much power" he stated shocked.
"I Said" Mira spoke her normal happy and warm eyes were now fierce and narrowed, bringing her arms in front of her, as the ground beneath her shook "STOOOOP ITTTT!" Mira screamed throwing her arms to the side unleashing a enormous amount of magical power causing the ground to explode around her as her dressed billowed from the magical energy.
The energy turned darker and more demonic as her features changed as she finally used her Take-Over (watch the show, too complicated to explain)
"No way" Freed eyes wide eyed, Mirajane coiled her legs and sprang at Freed who jumped up as the transformed Mira smashed the part he just stood. Mira jumped up to him Freed dodge a strike, barely missing a kick but dropped own and landed another kick on his stomach knocking the wind out of him then punched Freed in the face knocking him on the ground hard making a crater.
Freed rolled out of the way as a stomp was aimed at him "Dark Ectriture: Wings" he chanted rune like wings came from his back and flew away "must get some distance" he said, then Mirajane arched her back back lsightly and hunched over as with a deepened like shriek Bat like wings sprouted from her back and flew after him and disappeared and reappeared behind him with great speed.
"So this is Mirajane's power Take-Over Satan Soul, the She-Devil" Freed spoke to himself
Freed turned around in shock "Your dead" she told him with a deeper female voice low snarl to it barring her elongated canines, minutes later Freed used a Spell called Dark Ectriture: Darkness, turned into a demon himself.
The two clashed but Mirajane over powered him knocking him off course and headbutting him in the face and with a great display of flexibility threw a high kick to Freeds face.
"Evil Spark" Mirajane hissed placing her clawed hands on Freed's Chest unleashing a large dark blast of dark electrical energy, knocking Freed down to a land mass "Demon Blast" she called letting loose a large stream of dark energy at Freed hitting Freed smashing him through the land mass as she slammed into him continue to drive him into the rock and into a lake of water.
Freed in his Demon Form "Your powerful but I can't loose right just yet" he told her.
"Take your best shot" Mira/She-Devil said in a cold and uncaring manner.
"Dark Ectriture: Darkness forbidden spell: Black Abyssal Life Extinctor" Freed chanted letting a giant blast of dark matter and dark energy from his whole body in one devastating blast.
"Hmm Natsu has done fusion spells I should try it, as he said I just have to Believe I can do it" Mira/She-Devil thought she lit one hand with dark red and black energy sphere between her hand she focused on one hand and huge ball of dark magic in one hand.
"What is she doing?" Freed wondered but got a bad feeling.
"Demon's Satanic Reaping Darkness Blast" Mira/ She-Devil chanted putting her hands together merging the spells and launched it at Freed cutting through his ultimate spell and hitting him and launching him up into the air in gigantic geyser of black, dark purple and red energy Mirajane quickly appeared on top of the water spinning around as water rose up and around her arms.
"She's controlling the water, just how strong is she" Freed thought in shock "and where did she learn how to merge two spells together, it couldn't be the Master" he said in further shock .
The snapped around "Evil Explosion" Mira growled unleashing a massive vortex of water at him at high speed towards Freed hitting Freed incredibly hard sending him Back and flew up to him at high speed uppercutting him in the chin flipped back slammed her stocky scaly tail under his jaw then building up another spell.
"He's your extinction" Mira/She-Devil hissed in a harsh voice "Soul Extinctor" she chanted launching large black purplish globe making large explosion of darkness could be felt and seen all the way from where she was.
Back at Guild Natsu and Seilah, Happy were looking at the dark explosion.
"What was that?" Seilah asked surprised, Natsu just smirked.
"I knew you'd find your strength and will to fight" Natsu spoke.
"Do you know them?" Seilah asked.
"we all do, Mirajane Strauss" Natsu smirked.
"Remarkable" Seilah nodded impressed.
"you ain't seen nothing, she can be scary when she wants" Natsu told her, Natsu glared off in another direction "and I just picked up on Laxus" he clenched his fist.
"Be careful" Seilah replied.
"I will" Natsu smirked grabbing her around the waist with an arm dipping her slightly back and kissed her which she wrapped her arm around his neck and upper back pulled in closer and kissed back.
"Hmm hm" someone cleared their throat, the two looked at the intrusion, it was Levy and Gajeel.
"we are in the middle of a battle and here you two are, making out and acting without a care" Levy glowered.
"oh relax just giving Moon Goddess some relief" Natsu spoke up.
"well do it later" Gajeel frowned.
"Gajeel in case the Thunder Legion Break rules and try to attack, protect Levy and the Guild" Natsu said with stern gaze.
"I know, I'd get in the way of your battle with Lightninglad" Gajeel replied.
Natsu just nodded.
"Kick his ass Natsu-Sama" Seilah smirked with vigor.
"Oh don't let Mira hear you swear" Natsu warned.
"I agree" Levy shivered.
"Oh relax it's not too bad, she just throws things at you" Natsu shrugged.
Freed was in a crater defeated out of his Demon Form and Mira landed with a thud 4 feet in front of him, with her head down and hair covering her eyes revealing red orange glow in her eyes.
"Freed Diiieee!" Mira roared jumping on top of him.
"I can't stand up to this, a demon's power, and a Dragon's Might" Freed thought in fear he closed his eyes as her fist shot forward to his face with a shriek and red eyes.
"I still love you sis" Lisanna last words rang through her mind making Mira stop snapping out of it and looked at freed who was terrified and beaten, she let go of her Take-Over.
"Why did you stop" Freed wondered.
"Cause this battle is stupid and meaningless" Mira smirked warmly.
"spare me false pity just finish me" Freed sighed.
"I'm not gonna do that" Mira said getting off and rested with her legs under her "cause we are in the same Guild, we don't do that to friends" she smiled.
"I don't have any friends but Laxus" Freed closed his eyes.
"But that isn't true is it?" Mira replied Freed opened his eyes "we were always there, even when we drifted we were always there for the other" she smiled with tears.
Freed had memories of the Guild.
"Hay Freed I need some help, under standing this rune"
"hey you were voted to be the leader for the Thunder Legion, good job"
"he is the most calm collected to be in charge of his team"
"Thats a real man"
"Hey Freed lets spar"
as the memories continue to go through his mind, tears starting falling down Freed's face with regret and guilt for his recent action "Even if I when I ignored them and was distant, they were always there for me, and I hurt them" he sobbed as he covered his face with a hand.
"Gods I'm sorry everyone, forgive me" Freed cried "I admit defeat" he exhaled shakily.
"See what Laxus is doing he isn't building anything only causing harm, and making you hurt your real friends who trusted you" Mira smiled as tears rolled off her cheeks.
"Mira can you be honest, is Natsu more than a Friend to You, Erza and Seilah-San?" Freed asked sitting up.
"sigh yes he is, he is the most important person in my life next to my brother he has always been there for me even at my lowest, even when i'm worthless and helpless he was the first one to comfort me, like when Laxus years ago insulted our Guild and didn't help, Natsu was there to comfort and give me a shoulder to cry on" Mirajane admitted with love in her words "and said even I thought was helpless, he would still relay on me for help over Laxus and told me something I'll always keep to heart "'even though you may find yourself at a hardtime and when you feel helpless just remember it's a test and a moment of Faith, you just have to believe'"
"Wow he really said that?" Freed said.
"Mmm hm" Mirajane nodded "he's a remarkable wizard and a great Man that me, Erza and Seilah fell for" she smiled lovingly making Freed smirk.
"Then you need to always be with make sure he doesn't do something too stupid and reckless" Freed advised "because a guy like him are rare to bye" he said.
"I will thats a promise" Mirajane smiled putting a hand over her heart.
