Episode 6; The Oración Seis and Nirvana!
After the events that were a part of the Harvest Festival, Laxus has been disbanded from the Guild. We also learned from Makarov that his son Ivan has implanted a Dragon Slayer Lacrima into Laxus. Meaning he wasn't an actual Dragon Slayer, but just given the power for one. Ivan is also the leader of a Dark Guild that is an enemy of Fairy Tail. However the important thing is we are going to face a powerful Dark Guild that is part of an alliance of some kind, and we make an alliance with three other Guilds, members of Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter. 5 from Fairy Tail, 4 from Blue Pegasus, 3 from Lamia Scale, and only 1 from Cait Shelter. This battle was gonna be one of the toughest battles we ever had, and a dark secret that I was going to find out about.
Chapter 1; Gathering of the Alliance!
One day at the Guild when Crystal and Frost arrived for the morning, they noticed everyone gathered together looking at a chart with a bunch of what all looked to be Guild names.
"What's all this?" Crystal asked them.
"It's a chart listing all the Dark Guilds." Mira explained to her.
"Troubling sight, there are far more than I realized." Erza says and Crystal noticed three names in a large circle.
"What brought this on?" Lucy asked.
"Unfortunately, they've been noticeably active as of late." Mira says and Crystal looked confused. "That means we need to strengthen relationships with fellow Guilds."
"What's the big circle supposed to be?" Gray asks, talking about the three Dark Guilds in the circle.
"I know exactly what it means, it's the Baram Alliance of Dark Guilds." Juvia says and Crystal was surprised that Dark Guilds had formed an alliance of their own. "The three major players of that Alliance are Oracion Seis, Tartaros, and Grimoire Heart."
"Tartaros…" Crystal said quietly thinking she heard something close to that and suddenly she has a memory glimpse of three shadowy figures in her head. "Why does that click…? Why would a Dark Guild name be a part of my past?!"
"Speaking of the Oracion Seis." Makarov spoke up suddenly after coming into the Guild Hall. "Word has come down, we must destroy them." When he said that everyone was in disbelief of what he said to them.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Erza asks him.
"Oracion Seis' recent activity was the focus of the discussion at the conference. They pose an urgent threat that can no longer be ignored, therefore they must be dealt with immediately. We will take them down before they can harm any of our fellow Guilds we are sworn to protect." He explains to them.
"And we got to do all the heavy lifting, right? Typical…" Gray says.
"Fairy Tail will be taking them on by ourselves?" Juvia asks.
"This enemy is far more powerful than any we have faced before. To fight them alone would be too dangerous." Makarov explains. "Our attack will surely incurred the wrath of the entire Baram Alliance in no time. Which is why, Fairy Tail will join a coalition of Magical Guilds!"
"A coalition?!" The members asked him, surprised to hear this.
"Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter! These four Guilds will select members to represent them in the Allied Force, together we will work to bring down the enemy!" Makarov tells them.
Once that was said Makarov chooses Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, and Crystal to be a part of the Allied Force of Guilds, of course Happy and Frost came along also. They travel to the place as the rendezvous point for the Allied Force to meet at, which belongs to the Blue Pegasus Guild. Once they got inside a trio of guys welcomed them, and they called themselves the Blue Pegasus Elite crew. They are Hibiki, Ren, and Eve, each of them wore a black suit with their own colored shit, Hibiki has blue, Eve has red, and Ren has yellow. They have tried flirting with Erza and Crystal, although Crystal was rebellious and moved away from them.
"These guys are from Blue Pegasus?" Crystal asked and then another person came down the stairs, this guy is Ichiya, he has a white suit with a blue rose on it, he has red orange hair and black eyes, on his side he has vials on a belt. And he was really interested in Erza a lot, she even punched him away towards the door which they noticed some people arrive, 3 of them in fact, two of which are familiar faces. Lyon and Sherry, which apparently they joined with Lamia Scale. There was gonna be some fighting between some people.
"Enough! We're here to work together as a group to destroy the Oracion Seis! This is not the time to fight amongst ourselves!" A man tells them, he is a tall and mid muscular man holding a staff, he has black oval marks above his eyes, his outfit represents the people in the desert civilization.
"Yes Jura." Lyon says to him.
"That's Jura?!" Erza asked surprised to see him.
"Who is Jura?" Crystal asked.
"That guy is one of the 10 Wizard Saints." Happy says and Crystal then realizes this guy is another powerful wizard equal to Makarov.
"It seems we have representatives from three Guilds, the members from Cait Shelter have yet to arrive." Jura says seeing the group that has joined.
"Yes, and about that Guild I hear they're sending one." Ichiya explains.
"Just one member?" Erza asked.
"That's insane! We're supposed to be up against a powerful group here!" Gray says in disbelief that only one member is representing Cait Shelter.
"I wonder who this person is." Crystal wonders then suddenly someone came into the building and trips which grabbed everyone's attention. The person stood up and dust themself off, this person is a short girl with long blue hair, has brown eyes, wears a simple dress with two wavy color stripes across the dress and ends with small pointed edges at the bottom.
"Hi… I uh… I'm sorry I got here so late, I've come from the Cait Shelter Guild. My name's Wendy Marvell, it's nice to meet all of you." She says shyly and the others were surprised to see a kid would be part of the Alliance, while both Natsu and Crystal stared at her with curious expressions.
Chapter 2; The Oracion Seis attacks
The members stared at her with confusion though Jura could tell she had some potential in her.
"Now then, since all Guilds are present we can begin." Jura says to everyone.
"He's not even phased by this?!" Gray asked really surprised.
"What in the world is Cait Shelter thinking, sending a little girl on this kind of mission? They must be really hurting for members if they've sent her here on her own." Shelly says then suddenly.
"She isn't alone!" a female voice spoke and they looked to see a white cat the same size as Happy and Frost, this cat is wearing a small dress with a pink bow. "You shouldn't jump to conclusions!" Happy was amazed to see the cat.
"Oh Carla, you followed me here?" Wendy asked her.
"Of course I did, you are far too young to be traveling unaccompanied, Child." She tells her, then Carla notices Happy and Frost, and Happy's reaction was dramatically towards her, like he was falling in love.
"Sorry, I'm probably not what you expected. I know I'm much smaller and younger than most of you, and I may not be much of a fighter, but I can use all kinds of support magic." Wendy explained with a super shy expression.
"Hey Crystal do you have a feeling that we know her from somewhere?" Natsu asked her.
"Well I honestly have no memory, but there is this odd sensation that I know her somehow." Crystal says staring at Wendy curiously, and the said girl looked at both Natsu and Crystal and smiled at them.
Ichiya got everyone's attention that they should discuss their plans about the Oracion Seis, though he had to quickly use the restroom. Once he comes back he explains that the Oracion Seis after something called "Nirvana." Saying they traveled to the Worth Woodsea to find it. They then show images of members of the Orcaiòn Seis, the first is Cobra the Snake wizard, he has tan skin with dark red hair and next to him is a large purple snake. The second is Racer, he has blonde hair in the form of a mohawk this guy possibly uses speed magic, the third is a large man with a strange head shape this guy is Hoteye, the fourth member is a young woman with white hair and has a outfit what seems to be made of feathers, she is named Angel, the fifth member is mostly unknown except his name Midnight, and last is the Leader with dark skin having the Guild mark on his chest and strange line marks on his face, this is Brain.
Natsu charged forth without making a plan like always and everyone followed behind him and reached the area and from above they could see the vehicle that is owned by Blue Pegasus, the Cristina. The magic bomber. Then suddenly it gets attacked and the flying craft crashes into the ground and everyone readies themselves as they see the very six members arrive, the Oracion Seis Dark Guild.
"Lowly magots, swarming together." Brain says seeing the large group.
"I'm afraid short stuff isn't going to make it to the party." Angel says talking about Ichiya.
"And neither is that big bald Wizard Saint, we took them down." two small blue creatures floating by Angel explains mentioning Jura.
"They're defeated?!" Lyon asked in shock.
"Impossible…" Hibiki says in disbelief.
"There's terror in their voices, I can hear it." Cobra says with a wide grin.
"The quicker we wrap this up, the better. I'll run you over so fast, it'll make your head spin." Racer says.
"Money determines strength in this world, oh yeah! If you save but a penny today, it shall become a fast fortune in the future." Hoteyes says. "Furthermore-"
"Enough with the preaching Hoteye." Both Cobra and Racer tell him and the Alliance group see Midnight sleeping on top of a flying carpet.
"I'd have to admit, I didn't expect you to show yourselves." Erza says to the six members as it looks to be a 11 on 6 showdown in an instant. Natsu and Gray charge at them and Racer quickly moves kicking the two of them, then suddenly Lucy is suddenly getting whipped by herself. This was actually the power of Gemini the Twins, which seems to be that Angel is a Celestial Wizard. Lyon and Sherry went towards Hoteyes, however he used earth magic to make the ground soft and turn it into quicksand. The Pegasus trio were then taken down by Racer, as Erza goes towards Cobra and throw a bunch of her swords but he easily dodged them without moving so much, then Racer came from behind her and she switched to an different armor to try and keep up with him, then she was attacked by Cobra and started attacking him. Crystal was going to help her but she was quickly struck by Racer not seeing him appear next to her. Then Erza was bitten by Cobra's snake Cubellios which inflicted poison on her, this had everyone down for the count and easily beaten. Brain starts to cast a dark spell then he notices Wendy hiding behind a large rock, he mentioned her being the "Maiden of the Sky." With that he had a plan set, he casts a spell grabbing Wendy and the three cats chase after her which Happy grabbed her hand, and then both Wendy and Happy get captured into Brain's staff, and uses a powerful spell at everyone else, however Jura arrives and casted Earth magic to block the incoming attack. Plus Ichiya uses a healing perfume magic to get everyone back on their feet. However the effects weren't stopping the poison bite Erza was struck with on her right arm, even Crystal tried using her own healing but not even that helped. She suddenly takes Lucy's belt and wrapped it to her arm and placed her sword.
"Someone cut my arm off." She tells them and everyone was scared to hear her say that.
"At least give us time to find an antidote!" Gray tells her.
"I don't… have time…" She replied, while biting on some cloth and Lyon was gonna do it. He swung it, but Crystal blocked it with her ice.
"Her arm is more important to you than her life?!" Lyon asked her.
"This'll affect her for the rest of her life! We can't jump the gun here! There has to be another way to save her!" Crystal argued then Erza fell to her back completely weak from the venom. Everyone was wondering how to stop the venom from spreading.
"We need Wendy. She could save your friend." Carla spoke up and this surprised the others. "This is no time for us to be bickering among ourselves, we need to work together to come up with a plan to rescue Wendy. And I suppose that Tomcat too."
"Wait, does it have to do anything with the "Maiden of the Sky" thing?" Lucy asked.
"Yes it does! You see that little girl is the Sky Dragon Slayer! She's Wendy the Sky Dragon!" Carla says which surprised the group.
"She's a Dragon Slayer too?!" Natsu and Crystal asked at the same time.
"I'll give you all the details later, although to be honest there's really not much more you need to know. Wendy is the only wizard capable of saving your friend, we need her right now. Unfortunately the Oracion Seis feel like they need her too for some unknown reason." Carla explains. The group heads out and split up to find Wendy, so Natsu, Gray, and Carla has paired up, the members of Lamia Scale pair together, Eve, Ren and Ichiya from Blue Pegasus, while Lucy, Crystal, Frost, and Hibiki stay with Erza and watch over her. Hibiki uses his Arcane magic to track where the others are.
However they weren't expecting other Dark Guilds that were linked with the Oracion Seis to arrive and surround the multiple groups. The groups have defeated the Dark Guilds and learn that the Oracion Seis are hiding in an ancient village long ago. Natsu and Gray got there first, however Racer got in the way and Gray decided to fight him so Natsu can rescue Wendy and Happy, however Brain had found Jellal and had Wendy revive him. So now the three of them were gonna take Wendy to where Erza is, however Racer knocked them out of the sky and was going after them but Gray used his Ice-make Rampart to create a large wall stopping Racer and giving Natsu the chance to hurry to Erza.
Chapter 3; Celestial Wizard Battle, Lucy VS Angel
While hurrying through the forest Natsu was contacted telepathically by Hibiki, and transmits Natsu a map to their location so he can easily get to where they are with Erza.
Meanwhile Gray is battling Racer, then at one point he needed Lyon for assistance and now it was Ice-Maker users against Racer. While during the battle Lyon noticed something was off and figured out on how to beat Racer. So he makes a plan with Gray and then froze him into an ice tower bringing him up high, Sherry was watching and Racer was confused why that happened. So Sherry was trying to hit Racer with her marionette magic but he was so fast he dodged away from the attacks, while Lyon was going far away though he's getting a beating from Racer as he tries to get some distance away. Lyon was getting close to a cliff which Racer finally knocked him down and was going to eliminate Lyon, however Lyon figured out that Racer was only slowing everyone down and this gave Gray the chance to win the fight and broke out of the top of the ice tower with an ice bow in hand. He launches the arrow and he hits his target giving them the win. However, Racer was going to use a bomb Lacrima to eliminate all three of them, but Lyon tackled him off the cliff and the bomb exploded, as Gray and Sherry saw what happened, Gray couldn't believe he was dead though.
Though something with Brain happened and has awoken Midnight and tells him to eliminate the Members of the Alliance. This could most likely mean trouble for every single member.
Meanwhile Jura is now face to face with Hoteye and now they battle against one another. Plus with the last group were reunited with Natsu as he has carried Wendy, Happy, and Carla there. Once Wendy woke up, the three members of Fairy Tail begged her to heal Erza, which she was glad to help. Then suddenly there was a bright black flash of light coming from somewhere, it was signaling that Nirvana has actually been found.
"Yeah, that's gotta be it." Hibiki says seeing the black pillar of light shooting towards the sky and black mist spreading everywhere.
"But how?! How did they beat us to it already?!" Crystal asked completely confused.
"That pillar of light… I know Jellal's there!" Natsu says and that surprised Lucy, Crystal, and Frost.
"Did you say Jellal?!" Crystal asked him, but he ran towards the pillar of light. "Hey wait! Natsu!"
"Come on, we have to go after Natsu!" Hibiki tells the two girls.
"Why… why would he mention Jellal out of nowhere?" Lucy asked.
"I can explain later! Right now we gotta go find him." Happy tells them then Carla saw Erza had disappeared.
"She must have heard Natsu mention Jellal when we didn't notice her awake, now she's going to find him." Crystal thought and Wendy was regretting what she did and suddenly Hibiki used his magic to attack and knock her out. "Why would you do that?!" Hibiki quickly carries Wendy and they all go in the direction Natsu was going.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. But she's gonna be fine I knocked her out." Hibiki says
"Why did you do it?! And why are we suddenly in a hurry?!" Lucy asked him.
"We've gotta catch up with Natsu and Erza, just keep running till you reach the light." He tells them.
"Why should we take orders from a brute like you?! I've realized Wendy can be a bit of a whiner, that's no reason for you to strike her!" Carla shouted at him.
"I did it because I had to…" Hibiki says and stops running, which they were wondering what he ment. "I haven't been completely honest, I know more about Nirvana than I originally let on."
"What?! Why didn't you tell us?!" Happy asked him.
"I couldn't, because of the nature of the magic I couldn't say a word. Even just mentioning it now is risking and might put us in danger. That's why Guild Master Bob only told me about it, Mr. Ichiya, Eve, and Ren have no clue." Hibiki explains to them.
"So what did he tell you?" Lucy asks.
"Nirvana is a terrifying magic like no other. It alone has the ability… to turn light into darkness." He tells them.
"It can switch them?!" Lucy asked.
"But that doesn't happen till it's final stage, the first thing it does when it's been unsealed is shoot off a black beam. Just like the one in front of us, then it goes in search for those who are weak, it'll switch anyone wavering between light and dark to the opposite alignment. In other words a good guy who's feeling down and out... will likely fall to darkness." He explains.
"So that's why you knocked Wendy unconscious to protect her!" Carla says understanding his actions, if Wendy was going into disbelief and regret she would have fallen to the effects of Nirvana.
"She was at high risk of becoming a target because of her guilt. If I hadn't stepped in when I did, she could have easily switched over to the dark side." Hibiki explains.
"Now you got me worried, is anger a negative emotion?" Lucy asks worried about Natsu. "If so Natsu's in danger."
"That's a tough call, normally it would be, but because his anger is for someone else sake I don't know if you can classify it that way." He tells them unsure.
"Normally Natsu is angry a lot of the time, but I have doubts he would be affected like that." Crystal says. "I wonder if it will affect a person with a dark heart to be a light heart."
"I kept quiet about it at first because if I told you what I knew you'd be at risk. Thinking in terms of good and evil can bring negative emotions to the surface before you know it they take hold of you. "If only that person didn't exist, whose fault is it that I'm in pain? Why does this always happen to me?" These pessimistic thoughts attract Nirvana allowing it to take control." He explains with examples of what would happen if a person was overcome with so much negative thoughts.
"So whenever Nirvana is fully activated, everyone in the alliance could suddenly turn evil?" Lucy asks.
"Possibly, but I am curious if it can make one of the Dark Guild members turn good." Crystal says curiously.
"It's possible, but there is no way of knowing for sure. What makes Nirvana truly terrifying is that fact it can be controlled whatever it's caster sees fit." Hibiki says. "I'll explain, let's say that a wizard used Nirvana against a Guild, they could have the members start killing each other, or make them go to war with another Guild for no reason. And they barely have to lift a finger." This scared Lucy a lot. "We've gotta find a way to stop it and fast. Otherwise, the Light Guilds would be wiped out." They get to a river and notice strangely Gray trying to kill Natsu on a raft which made him motion sick, Lucy summoned Sagittarius and destroyed the spear.
"Hey Gray, what the crap do you think you're doing?!" Crystal asked him.
"Could you guys be anymore annoying? Mind your own business, I'll deal with the rest of you once I'm done with him so keep your little mouth shut and wait your turn!" He says to them.
"Is this Nirvana? Has that thing already switched one of us to the dark side?!" Lucy asked, now worried.
"No… something is off…" Crystal says and Happy flew at him though Gray froze him in ice and looked at Crystal.
"Accessing information on Crystal… newcomer to Fairy Tail, memory loss… Dragon Slayer…" Gray says like he's a computer.
"Who the heck are you?!" Lucy asked, and Gray is suddenly surrounded in a puff of smoke and there stood another Lucy.
"This is ridiculous, we know you aren't Lucy so drop the disguise and show who you really are!" Crystal tells the mysterious transformation being.
"Oh I'll show you, and I think you'll find I'm every bit as real as that bimbo." the Lucy clone says and suddenly she pulls up her tank top revealing her bare breasts to them. The two girls blushed deep red at what happened and both Hibiki and Sagittarius were astounded at the sight so Lucy kicked both of them out of embarrassment. Crystal sat on the ground hugging her legs in deep embarrassment and Frost had looked away with a sweat dropped expression.
"To think something such as this happened… what if that person changed to me and did that?" She asked herself which made her super red thinking that.
"Sorry, but it's only going to get worse from here on out. You see now I know exactly which Keys you're carrying." the Lucy clone says and Crystal noticed the eyes becoming different. "You had an audience with the Celestial Spirit King? How did a noob like you get the honor? Whatever, doesn't matter, listen up Sagittarius… take them out!" Suddenly he aimed and fired arrows at Hibiki and Crystal, the two reacted quickly to block the sudden attack.
"Did I do that?" Sagittarius asked, confused. The arrows did hurt the two of them.
"Are you crazy?!" Lucy asked him.
"But I thought you only took orders from Lucy?!" Carla says to him, also confused.
"I'm so sorry my lady… It is not I, my body is in control!" He tells them.
"Ow… that was sudden..." Crystal says feeling the pain from the arrow that cut her leg.
"Tell me! How are you controlling Sagittarius?!" Lucy asked her clone.
"I'm an exact copy of you, which means your spirits are forced to follow my orders." The clone explains.
"Carla, take Wendy and get out of here quickly!" Frost tells her and she quickly does so and carries Wendy out of there as Sagittarius is trying to stop his sudden actions, but he unleashes many arrows at them. So Lucy closed his gate though the other Lucy summoned him to try and shoot Carla until.
"That's quite enough. Nirvana's been found so the runt's useless." Angel arrived at the scene. "What do you say we quit wasting precious energy, my pets."
"As you wish." the clone Lucy says and turns into a puff of smoke making Sagittarius leave the scene again. Once the smoke cleared it showed the two blue creatures from before.
"Hello Lucy darling, how does it feel to gaze upon an Angel?" Angel asked her.
"I'm pretty sure I'd rather be blind lady!" Lucy yells at her.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that can be arranged. Have my pets been entertaining you?" She asked. "I'm quite fond of their little trick."
"I'm Gemi/ and I'm Mini!" the two say introducing themselves.
"I believe you know them as the Gemini twins, Celestial Spirits make the best toys." She says with an amused expression.
"You're a Celestial Wizard?!" Lucy asked. "That makes me sick."
"So that's it, Gemini the Twins. They are able to take on any person's appearance and their thoughts." Crystal says understanding their enemy using their ability to sabotage them.
"Let's get out of range, I think this fight should be for Lucy instead." Frost tells her, which Crystal agreed and they get behind a tree as this was going to be a Celestial Wizard Duel. Lucy summons Aquarius thanks for there being a river, however Angel summons Scorpio the Scorpion and Aquarius was happy to see him, she mentioned that the two are dating. This made the two Zodiac Spirits leave and Angel kicked Lucy who was dumbfounded at Aquarius leaving the battle, then Lucy summoned Leo or rather known as Loke to all Fairy Tail members. Though Angel summons Aries and Hibiki was shocked to see the two Spirits from two different Celestial Wizards.
"How did you end up with one of Karen's Spirits?!" Lucy asked.
"Simple, I'm the one who put her 6-feet under." Angel explained meaning she is the one who killed Karen, a member of Blue Pegasus. "And as they say to go to the victor go the spoils."
"She has three Zodiac Spirits, Gemini, Scorpio, and Aries. She acquired Aries after killing the last Wizard she was Contracted with." Crystal says watching what is going on. Leo and Aries go into battle and Lucy is heartbroken having to witness them having to fight, then Angel summons a machine and commands it to fire and blast through both Aries and Loke. This action seriously broke Lucy at what was witnessed and Crystal was gravely shocked that Angel would attack her own Celestial Spirit for the fun of it. "Someone who treats their Spirits like that… have no right to be a Celestial Wizard." Lucy was angered, so she summoned Taurus the Golden Bull, though Angel brought back Gemini to transform into Lucy and act sexy to lure him in and strike him with the machine. This left Lucy with no one to help her out, and leave her defenceless. Plus she is already weak from using too much magic to summon each of her spirits. This allows Gemini Lucy to hurt Lucy over and over. She pleaded for Aries to be released, she would do anything to get her happy, she would rather give her life to save Aries. Angel commands Gemini to finish her off but they could not do it for some reason.
"I hear a strange voice… it's in my head…" Gemini says as they could hear the voice of Young Lucy and Present Lucy about how she loves and cares about her Celestial Spirits. "I can't… she loves us, she's willing to give up her life for us. We envy her spirits." This angered Angel hearing what the twins said as they cried.
"Begone! Oh you'll suffer for that!" Angel says angered and notices Hibiki walking behind Lucy grabbing her and then suddenly is transferring something into Lucy's mind. Once it was done suddenly the area became space like showing multiple planets.
"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens All the stars, far and wide Show me thy appearance With such shine. Oh Tetrabiblos I am the ruler of the stars Aspects become complete Open thy malevolent gate. Oh 88 Stars of the Heaven… Shine! Urano Metria!" Lucy chanted and a powerful blast of energy fired at Angel seriously harming her and knocked her down.
"A-amazing…" Crystal says surprised at what has happened.
Chapter 4; Battle in the air, Natsu and Crystal VS Cobra the Poison Dragon Slayer!
After the battle defeating Angel this only leaves 4 members of the Oracion Seis left to take down. Taking them down will not be an easy task. However Angel got up and the machine fired at Lucy, however it swerved and blasted the rock that stopped the raft before. Lucy hurried over to catch up to Natsu who is still on the raft and Crystal chased after them getting on the raft with both of them. Frost had followed them while leaving Happy still frozen but he thawed out after a while. On the ground all of a sudden, Lucy and Crystal woke up as Lucy had her upper arm bandaged and Crystal's leg was also bandaged up. They also got different clothes on suddenly.
"Who changed my clothes?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"I thought garments from the Celestial World would suit you. As for who changed you that would be me." Virgo speaks up all of a sudden. Natsu was also starting to wake up now. "I also provide both Natsu and Crystal with a matching set."
"I'm not sure if that was needed, but thanks anyway." Crystal thanked the maid as she stood up.
"I'm wasting time here, where's that weird light thingy?!" Natsu asked and they could see the pillar now completely white now.
"Is it me or did the pillar of light change color?" Crystal asked.
"Yes, the light changed black to white while the three of you were unconscious." Virgo explained. Natsu was angry thinking about Jellal, but he calmed down and he thanked the two girls for what they did, then they heard movement and they looked to see Sherry appear from the woods.
"It's all your fault, you Fairy Tail members are to blame." She said suddenly with a slightly dark tone.
"Excuse me?" Lucy asked, confused then Crystal realized she must have been affected by Nirvana. She was gonna attack them, however the Real Gray came in and stopped her. He found Lyon who really actually survived the bomb, this caused Sherry to be happy to see him and have a strange black mist leave her body.
Then all of a sudden the pillar of light grew larger which meant that Nirvana was now released and a giant machine raised from the ground with 6 long legs and brought everyone onto it. Leon decided to stay down and watch over Shelia, as Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Crystal, and Frost go across on one of the legs to the main spot of Nirvana. As they had gotten to the top, Nirvana started to move which of course Natsu got sick which he fell off the leg. Luckily Happy came in and caught him in the air, Frost then thought that would be easy and he grabbed onto Crystal and they followed them and Natsu destroyed what was gonna cause it to move, though Brain ordered Cobra to knock Natsu out of the way. Cobra stood on his snake pet Cubellios which suddenly grew wings, Crystal was going for a kick though Cobra jumped and avoided the attack.
"Ok, how does a snake like that have wings?! That shouldn't be possible!" Crystal exclaimed seeing the large snake. "But no matter, we'll destroy this thing to pieces!"
"You're gonna need the devil's luck to do that, cause there is no way you're gonna get near, Brain." Cobra tells them, which both Natsu and Crystal look down at Brain who is standing on the tower looking at them.
"Is that guy the one driving this thing?" Natsu asked.
"Bring it on, Fire and Ice Dragon Slayers." Cobra taunts them, Natsu flies at him then Happy flies in a curve to let Natsu try and hit Cobra at the side. However Cubellios struck Natsu with ease like he predicted that move. Frost flew high into the air and down as Crystal went for a downward kick, but just like Natsu, she suddenly got smacked by Cubellios as well.
"How did that happen? It's like he expected our attack before we could hit him." Crystal says rubbing her stomach.
"I can hear your movements before you make them." Cobra tells them. "Oh yeah, loud and clear. So let's have some fun!" Both the two Dragon Slayers try to hit Cobra, but he was dodging their attacks and countering them easily.
"This is great, none of our attacks have been able to hit this guy." Crystal says annoyed.
"He said he can hear our thoughts, maybe some kind of telepathy magic?" Frost assumed.
"Probably, but first we got to defeat this guy and get right to the big guy controlling this thing!" Crystal says pumped. Then Cobra has his pet snake to chase after them and try to bite them.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu conjures a ball of fire launching it at Cobra while he was close in distance, but he moved around easily dodging the attack.
"You missed him!" Happy yelled at him.
"That's ok, I'm just getting warmed up!" Natsu says and launches more Brilliant Flame attacks, which still were not hitting Cobra at all.
"Stop wasting your energy Natsu!" Crystal yells at him and just barely dodged Cubellios' tail swinging at her. "Geez this guy is starting to annoy me, I can't even land a single hit on him."
"I'm not sure how, but he can hear our thoughts like when we think of something it's like speaking out loud to him." Frost tells her, which she wondered if that was the case. Cobra was distracted hunting Natsu who tried to sneak attack him but it didn't even work.
"Where are you Darkness?" Crystal thought which distracted Cobra and Crystal came in and kicked him out of the ruined building. "Got you!"
"What?!" Natsu exclaimed in shock wondering how Crystal was able to get a hit on him. "That's not fair, how did you do that?!" Cubellios flew and caught Cobra.
"Lucky shot, you aren't as dumb as you look Ice Dragon Slayer." Cobra says to her. "No one was able to land a hit on me until now, looks like this will be tons of fun with you."
"I'm not as dumb as Natsu, but I pay attention to what my opponent says! Now that I know you can hear our thoughts I'll just have to try something to mess with you!" Crystal says with a grin.
"Good luck trying, cause I'm not gonna fall for that little stunt you pulled!" He warns her as Natsu tries to punch Cobra, in which he dodged it.
"Come on! Stop moving around! Crystal, come on tell me how you were able to land a hit on him?!" Natsu demanded from her.
"It's like he can hear our thoughts as if we say it out loud, that's how he's able to do it!" Crystal tells him and Natsu is unsure what she is telling him. "Come on! That's the best I can explain about it! You wanna think he is some kind of psychic person?!"
"If that's true, what am I thinking right now?!" Happy asked Cobra, and for a few seconds Happy's stomach growled.
"I don't need to use magic when you have fish on the brain furball." He replied and Happy was shocked to hear him guess correctly.
"Not really a surprise…" Crystal says to Frost who nodded in agreement and Natsu wanted to test it also.
"It's not some silly parlor trick you know…" Cobra tells them and Natsu has a thought in his mind as Cobra hears what is on his mind, then suddenly he starts laughing. "I've never heard that one! I gotta admit that was pretty funny!"
"Wait what?! What were you thinking that made him laugh?" Crystal asked Natsu curious what it was he thought of.
"I'll tell you later, right now we gotta deal with this guy." Natsu tells her. He then starts going head on with multiple attacks then Natsu was able to land a punch on his face, then Crystal came in and starts throwing out her own punches at him and the two of them went for another punch and this time Cobra blocks them both.
"I don't know either you're an idiot or a genius, no one's landed that many hits on me. Guess my parlor trick ain't gonna be enough to cut it in this fight!" Cobra says and suddenly his arms changed to what looks to be dragon like arms and suddenly both Natsu and Crystal were getting hurt by like a poisonous sting on their hands. They notice some strange poison coming from his dragon arms. "You're fighting the Poison Dragon now, it's over for you!"
"Am I seeing things?!" Happy asked shocked to see this.
"I don't think it's you!" Frost tells him.
"No, I see it too." Natsu replied
"To think that we see this…" Crystal says
"This guy's a Dragon Slayer!" the four of them say at the same time. This time Cobra was going on the Offensive using the power of a Poison Dragon Slayer, he knocks both pairs with his strength and goes after them with a claw swipe attack which both Natsu and Crystal went above the attack. Cobra has Cubellios launch him at Natsu to kick him and he also took the chance to punch Crystal in the stomach sending her flying until Frost stopped their fall. His attacks were also causing a different kind of pain to them.
"Gah!" Crystal has a hand on where Cobra struck as it felt her body was getting numb.
"Krys are you alright?!" Frost asked her as he regained flight for them.
"I don't know, it's like every attack he hits me with I start feeling numb." Crystal tells him as they get back to facing Cobra.
"Your pain is music to my ears. One hit from a Poison Dragon Slayer, and you'll turn to mush!" He says to them.
"Yeah right! You wish, your magic doesn't scare me Fire trumps Poison any day! Let's do this!" Natsu says fired up. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
"Ice Dragon's Crystal Fist!" The two charge at Cobra.
"Poison Dragon's Fang Thrust!" Cobra forms two poison forms of snakes and counters both of them and it had both Happy and Frost lose their grip on them. Natsu was already getting sick from landing but Crystal was only feeling pain.
"Sorry didn't mean to lose my grip holding you Krys!" He tells her.
"It's fine, let's just get back to fighting this guy." She replied stretching a bit and returns back into the air as Happy picked Natsu back up.
"Why did you lose focus from being able to hit him Krys?" Frost asked her.
"Honestly I was so lost in thought because of learning that he's a Dragon Slayer, now we learn there are a total of 6 different ones. I'm seriously not sure what to think now." Crystal explained to him as Natsu and Happy started arguing then went to strike Cobra, though he counters him with a Poison Dragon's Spiral Jaw which he flips upside down and swings with kicks hitting Natsu down to the ground and it also hit Crystal knocking her to the ground of Nirvana.
"Hey Krys look!" Frost pointed to a large mountain of ice to their right.
"Oh yea! This ought to give me a power boost!" Crystal says as they notice Natsu consuming loads of fire, Crystal leapt onto the mountain of ice and took a bite into it turning it all into magic energy and consuming it up. "Oh yea, now I'm all fired up! Let's go Frost!" They fly into the air following Natsu and Happy as they pass by Cobra.
"What's wrong, snake guy? Way too fast for you!" Natsu taunted him.
"How about you quit running and say that to my face!" Cobra shouts at him. "Poison Dragon's Scales!" He then launches out poisonous formed scales at them which hits a building making a smokescreen which only had Happy and Frost appear from above, Cobra wondered where Natsu and Crystal went. Both of them went for a punch though it was blocked then Natsu tried a roar which Cobra tossed Crystal knocking them away. Both Happy and Frost catch them, then Cobra has his snake Cubellios to shoot out a large gas of poison and he starts sucking it in powering him up. "Now I've got a fire in my belly too, tasty."
"That's my line, copycat!" Natsu yelled at him.
"Poison Dragon's Roar!" Cobra blows a large stream of poison hitting them and numbs them. Frost was trying his best to hold up his flight from the numbness, however Natsu wasn't gonna give up the fight and tried hitting him with a Wing Attack but still Cobra was able to dodge and struck Natsu. Then Happy and Natsu started arguing again. "I can't believe I have to say this, but if you're done with your lovers spat can we get back to fighting?! That is if some older generation Dragon Slayers like the two of you can handle it."
"We're an older generation?" Natsu asked confused what he meant.
"That's right, I'm part of a new wave of slayer. A dragon lacrima was implanted in my body, making me infinitely more powerful than those who came before me!" He explains to them.
"Isn't this the same thing as what Gramps told us about Laxus having a Lacrima?" Crystal asked.
"So that means he and Laxus are both similar but with different elements." Frost assumed. Natsu tried another attack, but Cobra still was one step ahead and hit with more Poison. "Are we really done for?"
"No… Frost I need you to do one more thing, drop me on him."
"What?! Why do you want me to do that!?" He asked her.
"Just trust me… we have to finish this… do it." She tells him and both Happy and Frost drop the two down towards Cobra going for a roar. However Cobra had his snake launch above them and grabs the two from the back of the head which he started to force them down to the ground faster, however the two started to yell loudly as they were falling as if it were a Roar of two Dragons. This powerful roar also damaged Cobra's hearing and both Happy and Frost were quick to catch both Natsu and Crystal before they could crash to the ground. "Damn, I didn't expect to have a mean set of lungs to make him lose his hearing. Guess I should have thought of that sooner." Crystal saw Cublios went to Cobra concerned about him as he is currently unconscious.
Chapter 5; Dragon Force Crystal, Masked Girl Revealed!
After the tough battle with Cobra both Natsu and Happy fall to the ground weak and numb from Cobra's Poison attacks. Though Crystal and Frost didn't have as much like them since they weren't hit another time. However Cobra who regained consciousness was about to end Natsu, although Brain struck him and said something in his thoughts that made Cobra Angry. Brain grabbed Natsu as Crystal was keeping herself steady and getting away from him as Gray, Lucy, and Jura found them. Brain also mentioned that Nirvana is moving towards Cait Shelter which surprised them.
"Cait Shelter? Why that Guild?" Crystal asked him as she is trying to keep herself together from the poison going through her body.
"What is your objective? What could you possibly hope to gain from their loss?" Jura demanded wondering what Brain is thinking.
"The world on its head, in the blink of an eye this Guild of Light will be consumed to Darkness. Oh the things we shall see. What splendid horrors await us!" Brain says
"We won't let you do that to them!" Lucy says
"You're not gonna get away with this scumbag!" Gray warns him and the Jura steps forward with a powerful magic flowing around him.
"You still haven't told me. What do you hope to gain?" Jura asked again and Gray could feel an enormous amount of magic from Jura, then Brain suddenly laughed.
"I don't have to answer to you, I hold the reins of Light and Darkness. Kneel before me and ask for one thing only, for mercy!" He says and Jura was annoyed and went up and launched an attack that knocked Brain down and surprised him. The battle between Jura and Brain starts with a blast from his staff at Jura, which he forms rock walls to block the attack. Brain continues using the same attack as Jura continues blocking and still evades the attacks, then Jura uses the small rocks from his walls launching them at his opponent to win the battle against Brain with no problem. Gray noticed one of the line marks vanish and Brain mentioning something about "keeping him at bay". Curious at what he meant they next noticed Wendy and Carla arrived to find out that two more of the Oracion Seis had been beaten, meanwhile Midnight has taken down Hoteye or rather Richard as that being his real name that caused more lines on Brain to disappear.
The group went to the tower as Wendy used her healing magic to remove the poison effects on Natsu, Crystal, Happy, and Frost. Natsu still couldn't move because of his motion sickness, once Wendy realized that she casted a spell that removed the motion sickness which helped him back on his feet. However the problem is Nirvana is still moving towards the set destination which makes everyone wonder how it is still on the move. They were given a telepathy signal from Richard saying Midnight is at the foot of the throne doors, however instead it was an explosion magic from Brain to trick them.
Meanwhile Erza and Jellal were walking through the ancient ruined city to find the others however they ran into the last member Midnight. Jellal wanted to protect Erza but he was easily beaten, so Erza was the last one to fight him. She learned he uses Reflector type Magic, at one point she noticed something off and went into a new armor set. The group even learned the secret of Nirvana was created by ancient people that are part of Cait Shelter. Erza had figured out Midnight's weakness with his reflector magic, he tried doing illusion magic that looked to be a nightmare but with Erza's right eye she was immune to it and defeated Midnight. However with all 6 members down this meant the awakening of Brain's other half, Zero. Brain used 6 organic link keys to seal him away, but since all the members have been defeated he is now being released. Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Crystal, Happy, and Frost were the first ones to meet Zero. He did look different from Brain, his skin is now white without the line marks on his body and his eyes are fully blood red. The Magic levels from him are seriously terrifying as he casts powerful spells that knocked all of them down to the ground.
From the outside on the tower Zero is powering the cannon to fire at Cait Shelter, however the flight craft of Blue Pegasus the Cristina fired at the legs causing the blast to miss the Cait Shelter Guild.
"Do you read me? Someone anyone? Respond, please let me know you are ok." Hibiki's voice speaks through telepathy.
"I know that voice, it's Hibiki!" Up on the craft with his arcane magic he gets a signal on both Erza and Wendy.
"Erza and Wendy, good to know you're alive and well." He says glad to get a response.
"In case you were wondering, I'm alive but not quite well." Ichiya speaks up, letting Hibiki know he is alright.
"Master Ichiya, glad to hear it." Hibiki replies.
"I can't believe it, I never expected to see the Magic Bomber flying again." Erza says surprised.
"Nor did I, certainly not. After we watched the Oracion Seis shoot her down." Carla said, also surprised.
"How'd you get her flying again?" Wendy asked Hibiki.
"Hard work, and lots of it. We're a group of wizards who barely know each other, but pretty good at working together to get the job done. Cristina lost one of her wings when she was shot down, so Lyon's using his Ice-Make magic to replace. You'll see on the bow Sherry's combining her Marionette magic with Ren's air magic to keep the damaged hull intact. Our attack on Nirvana was thanks to Eve's snow magic." Hibiki explains to them.
"We owe you one." Erza said to him.
"I'm sure you can tell that everyone is running low on magic energy right now. I'm afraid we can't attack from the ship anymore. The powers too low, just flying this far was hard enough. Don't worry we're gonna be fine. Listen up, there's one last thing a little bit of good news. I finally found what I've been looking for in the archive, I know how to stop Nirvana." Hibiki tells them and they were surprised to hear that it can be stopped.
"Please, tell us!" Erza says wondering how they can stop it.
"You know the 6 appendages we thought were legs? Well they aren't, they're pipes. Apparently they suck magic energy out of the Earth, which then is used to power Nirvana. At the base of each leg is a Lacrima that controls the supply of magic energy. From what I understand if all 6 Lacrima are destroyed simultaneously, it will wreak havoc on Nirvana's control system therefore forcing it to shut down. They must be destroyed at once, or the other 5 will simply repair the damaged one." Hibiki explains to them.
"Simultaneously destroy 6 Lacrima?! How do we do that?!" Erza asked him.
"If I could, I'd maintain telepathy to time out the strike. Try this, I'll give each of you guys a Synched timer. I'm uploading it to you now, but listen guys it has to be precise." He tells them and downloads a timer into the minds of Erza, Wendy, Carla, and Ichiya.
"20 Minutes?" Wendy asked, surprised.
"That's when Nirvana will be fully charged and ready to fire again." Hibiki tells them. "If anybody can do it, it's you guys. I have faith in you." Then suddenly Zero interrupted the telepathy link.
"Who are you?!" Erza demanded.
"It's that creepy Brain guy!" Wendy assumed.
"How's he able to hijack my telepathy?!" Hibiki asked in shock.
"I am Zero! Master of the Oracion Seis! Brain is no more! First of all allow me to commend you, you've fooled me I never suspected there were other wizards cable of archive magic like Brain." He tells them. "Now heed my words, wizards of Light! I am going to obliterate everything you hold dear, I've already begun by destroying four of your little friends! Two Dragon Slayers, an Ice Wizard, and a Celestial Wizard! HAHAHA and two cats!"
"He got Natsu and the others?!" Hibiki asked in shock.
"Whatever did they do to you?!" Wendy asked.
"Did I hear you say something about destroying Nirvana's Lacrima simultaneously?! Well you can try, but I am standing right in front of one of them! And I have no intention of leaving!" Zero explains and laughs. As they were able to get three, however the Cristina is now losing altitude.
"Natsu… Crystal…" Erza's voice echoed through their minds as they started to move once again until finally all of them started to get up with bated breath.
"Can you hear our voice? If you can please respond." Hibiki says, hoping to hear them.
"Yeah… we hear you…" Natsu replied.
"To destroy… all 6… Lacrima... at one time..." Gray says understanding their objective.
"So who's fighting Zero?" Lucy asked.
"18 minutes left… we gotta hurry… we owe it to Carla and Wendy to protect their Guild!" Happy exclaimed loudly.
"Agreed… We can't let everyone down… they count on us to win this fight…" Frost says agreeing with Happy.
"And if my senses are right, I can smell that "She" is in a different one. One of us will have to fight off Zero, and then I take on her!" Crystal says in her thoughts. "Let's take a stand… and fight."
"Guys, my telepathy is about to cut out. A while ago, I uploaded a map to each of your minds, I numbered the Lacrima so you can find them. Everybody choose a number and split up." Hibiki tells them. Natsu declared he goes for 1, Gray picked 2, Lucy with 3 hoping Zero isn't there.
"Then I shall take number 4. I can tell it's closest to me thanks to the smell of its perfume." Ichiya says.
"You mean because you see it on the map." Erza says to him. "I can take number 5."
"Erza! Guess you're feeling better huh!" Natsu says glad to hear her alright.
"That leaves me with-" Jellal was about to speak up but Erza stopped him.
"You're left with number 6." Erza tells him, however.
"NO!" Crystal yelled out surprising everyone. "I'll take 6, Erza this one is mine! You tell that person to back off, I have my own reason for going there. Either you try to or not, I'm taking number 6." Once that was said the telepathy finally cuts off now they can't speak to the others. "Looks like our connection cut off. Hibiki…"
"Why did you declare for number 6 Crystal?" Gray asked her.
"If anyone should know why, Natsu can probably tell. Mind if you make a shard of ice." Crystal explains and Gray used a small bit of his maker magic to give Crystal some energy to move forward towards her destination. She continued forward as Frost followed her through the halls of Nirvana and she got to an open room, in the center is a pillar connected to a spherical Lacrima. Standing in front of the pillar is the person she had hoped to find again.
"So you noticed I was part of the journey huh? I of course sneaked in on Nirvana hoping I'd get to challenge you once again after having to unleash the secret of your Slaying magic." Darkness says looking up at the Lacrima, then turns to Crystal. "However, with me being here I am now going to unleash hell upon you." She then notices Crystal with a wide grin.
"I wonder who is going to leave alive, you, or me." She says as Crystal jumps towards Darkness with a punch which Darkness caught her attack and kicked her. Crystal landed on her feet and sent a Wing Attack which Darkness flipped over the ice cutters and she goes for a dark claw swipe at her, Crystal blocks with an ice blade as the two stand their ground trying to force the other to fall. However Crystal is worn out after having to have taken too much damage and Darkness used her other hand to blast Crystal into the wall.
"You are too damaged to fight, after that heavy blast from Zero you should be completely down. I'm surprised you have survived, but while I can absorb the energy from the Lacrima to charge my strength you can't win." She says as Crystal tries to hold her ground. Crystal charges at Darkness again and they clash claw and blades against each other and Crystal tried doing a roar, but Darkness dodged it and punched Crystal into the ground.
"This is bad, Crystal is barely able to fight back and yet she is outmatched." Frost says watching the scene then hears someone coming from the hallway, he looks to see Wendy and Carla. "What are you two doing here?"
"We came here because Crystal might need some help." Wendy tells him while holding some kind of container shaped of a hexagon wide shape crystal with gold at the ends and a gem in the center of it.
"What is that?" Frost asks her.
"I'm not sure, but Jellal asked me to give it to Crystal." Wendy explained. Jellal had asked her to take the container and bring it to Crystal as he plans on going to help Natsu to regain his strength. "He said that this can help her, I'm not sure how but I believe what he told me. Hey Crystal here!" Wendy tosses the container to Crystal and she catches it.
"Wendy?! What are you doing here?" Crystal asked her.
"No time for that Krys! Open that up, she says it'll help you!" Frost tells her and Crystal wasn't sure what it is but she pops the container open and suddenly she was feeling a cold air flowing out of the container and spread out around her and for some reason the air she was feeling seemed familiar.
-Crystal's Memory-
"Hey sis, did you know that the air around the Kingdom is special?" Crystal's sister asked her. "The cold air here is much different to the other part of the land, this unique cold air is what gives our ice magic an incredible power boost."
"Really? That's strange, I always thought the air here was always the same everywhere." Young Crystal replied.
"Some may think that, but the air here is what gives us strength and defend ourselves. One day I believe you will be strong enough to destroy those that ruin peace. I have faith in you Crystal, my dear sweet little sister." she tells her and picks her up into a hug. "Soon you will find out, I will be there to help you."
"Thank you Big Sis Ice." Young Crystal says hugging her big sister with a bright smile.
-End of memory-
As Crystal suddenly gets a memory she starts to breathe in the cold air that had filled inside the room and starts to feel power coursing through her whole body.
"Thanks for the meal Wendy, I promise you. I'll make sure your Guild is saved." Crystal says now fully energized and drops the container she was given.
"Consuming some air won't help you, even if it's ice to power up that won't help you. A connection to someone you have never known about is easily breakable." Darkness says trying to taunt her.
"A connection people make is something everyone should have, the only thing any person would break is turning your back on someone who just wanted to help! Especially when they give you the power to fight Evil!" Crystal charged at her enemy and greatly punched Darkness with a powerful strike, then Crystal grabs her arm and tosses her at the wall, smashing into it. Darkness creates a blast of dark magic shooting it at Crystal which she sliced it in two like it was nothing. Crystal leaps at Darkness and starts throwing punches and a few kicks, Darkness also kicks Crystal, but that only gives Crystal the chance to do a Roar that blows Darkness towards the ceiling. Darkness falls as she could see Ice crystal scales on Crystal's arms, and that her hair changed to ice, and could see her eyes are ice color sharp eyes.
"Impossible, this kind of power could only mean… the Dragon Force." Darkness thought after crashing to the ground. Crystal looked at her hand as she could feel the incredible power radiating through her entire body.
"Amazing… this power feels like when I ate the Etherion. I feel like my strength is far stronger than the last time, maybe even doubled." Crystal says completely amazed at the incredible strength she obtained.
"I have learned that a Dragon Slayer's full potential is from the Dragon Force, the Final form of their greatest power. Now this should be quite interesting, now Crystal... show me that power you wield!" Darkness says.
"Oh I'll show you alright! Prepare yourself!" Crystal warned her as the two clashed against one another. The two clash their fists together causing a shockwave to burst and break the ground below them as Darkness kicks Crystal having her land on ruble and then leaps at her enemy headbutting them into the wall. Darkness then forms shadow swords and launches them at Crystal who froze them in place and uses her Ice Eruption attack spreading many ice shards at Darkness who suddenly disappeared and appeared behind with a shadow sword about to strike her, but Crystal reacted fast moving aside and kicking Darkness straight to the wall.
"Impressive, you really did improve yourself Crystal. But still there is no way you can defeat me!" A large black aura surrounds Darkness and she charges at Crystal and the two continue knocking around each other until Darkness smashes Crystal down to the next floor. "How disappointing I thought you could do so much more. Seems I had my doubts since you insisted on fighting me alone." Crystal starts to get back up and glaring at her opponent.
"I'm not alone. Everyone is reaching out to me. I can hear them, loud and clear. I hear everyone's voices, and they're telling me no matter what. I can't give up the fight. They are what keeps me going, they're the only reason I'm still standing!" Crystal tells her as her power starts increasing higher. "All the voices, I hear them giving me the strength flowing through my body!"
"Now to see a sight such as this, It would be disastrous if I left you alive. My master would put me in the dust if I don't get rid of you now. So fall to the ultimate Darkness Magic." Darkness says as dark magic forms around her hands.
"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art; Sub Zero: Ice Typhoon!" Crystal unleashes a whirlwind of ice at her enemy.
"Dark Void!" Darkness unleashes a powerful spell at Crystal as it looked like the two attacks were gonna collide against one another. "Open to the World of Darkness and absorb her into the depths of Darkness!" Suddenly the darkness from her spreads and surrounds Crystal and drags her into an abyss of shadows. "And in the end you had no chance, such a disappointment."
"Where am I? What is this place? I can barely see anything, and I can't gather any of my strength." Crystal says, then all of a sudden she could see a bright sky color light.
"Crystal, is this how you show your power as a Dragon Slayer?" A deep female voice spoke from it which sounded familiar to Crystal.
"This voice… I know that voice…" Crystal says starting to remember something.
-Crystal's memory-
"I am sorry young miss, but I am afraid that I can't allow Mistress Ice to skip on her studying." A maid tells Young Crystal who looked sad.
"But… big sis promised to play with me…" She says looking like she is going to cry.
"Sorry little Crystal, maybe some other time we can." Big sis Ice says to her younger sister.
"Now please, she is not allowed to be disturbed." The maid tells Young Crystal and she leaves by heading outside. She went to a nearby cavern to hide hoping at some point her sister could find her, however someone else found Crystal.
"What seems to be the problem little one?" A deep female voice spoke next to Young Crystal and she looked to see a white dragon having some places having blue diamonds on the body, with ice blue eyes and has solid ice claws. "Why are you sad little one?"
"I'm sad because my sister can't play with me… why is it even important?" Young Crystal explained.
"It's a part of life humans go through." The dragon says to her and Crystal sighed. "Perhaps I can play with you little one, that way you don't feel so lonely." This surprised Young Crystal and her eyes gleamed with happiness.
"R-really?" She asked the dragon.
"Of course, in turn I would also like to teach you a special type of magic created by Dragons." The dragon explains to her.
"A special magic? Who are you?" Young Crystal asked.
"I am known as Glacies the Ice Dragon! And I shall teach you Ice Dragon Slayer Magic!" The dragon tells her as she spreads her wings having ice sparkles glitter off her and Crystal was amazed at what she is seeing. From that day Crystal has been training to use Ice Dragon Slayer as at times she gets to play with someone when her sister Ice is busy doing other things.
-End of Memory-
"Now Crystal, show your pride as a true Dragon Slayer. And no matter what I will always be proud of you as my daughter!" Glacies' voice echoed and Crystal brought out a grin and her ice started coming back to her. In a bright flash Crystal breaks out of Darkness' spell which surprised her.
"WHAT?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE FOR HER TO GET OUT?!" Darkness asked as Crystal power started overflowing and freezing the area around her. "Her Ice is completely freezing everything around her!" From Darkness' view she could see the figure of Glacies behind Crystal. "The power of lost magic she holds, she really is… a true Dragon Slayer." Crystal charges at Darkness punching the mask causing it to break.
"I'm done playing games here! Dragon Slayer's Art; Sub Zero: Comet Collision!" Crystal's body is surrounded in a powerful icy aura as she launches upward straight towards her enemy breaking through the floors and smashing into the giant Lacrima and at that moment everyone else struck their Lacrima also having all 6 completely destroyed. "Damn… I never thought breaking a large Lacrima would be so difficult…" Crystal then smiled how she accomplished her objective.
"You did it Krys!" Frost exclaimed as steam came from her arms and hair as the ice scales melted and her hair now back to normal. Wendy and Carla were happy that their Guild had been saved thanks to everyone's efforts. Crystal wasn't done yet, she went over to where Darkness is currently laying and noticed the right side of her mask has been broken. However the problem wasn't that, it was her face.
"W-what… is this?" Crystal asked when she saw the face behind the mask. The said person easily got back up, but she toppled from taking too much damage.
"So now you've seen my face." She said with a straight reaction like it's nothing.
"But that's impossible… how… how can you have her face?!" Crystal asked as she can clearly see, the face is definitely similar to Crystal's big sister Ice. However this one has Black shadow hair, and yellow eyes instead. But before she could get an answer the place started crumbling.
"We will meet again." The masked girl who seems to be Ice opens a black portal and goes through it as Crystal tried to go after her.
"Wait, stop!" Crystal shouted, going after her but the floor collapsed below her and she was about to fall until Frost caught her. "Frost!"
"We can't stay here Krys! We gotta go now!" He tells her and Crystal wanted to argue but he was right. So Crystal, Wendy, Frost, and Carla hurried quickly as they could, Crystal was low on magic energy and Wendy tripped, rubble was about to fall on them but Jura came in time to rescue them as he had regained some of his magic energy to stand up.
Chapter 6; We welcome you to Fairy Tail Wendy and Carla!
Everyone got out safely from Nirvana and glad they were able to stop the greatest threat to the Cait Shelter Guild. However the group was surrounded by an enchantment made by the new members of the Council Army who arrived to take the member of the Oracion Seis Hoteye or otherwise known as Richard who was searching for his brother Wally one of Erza's friends. She tells him that he is currently traveling around the world which brings tears to Richard's eyes, glad to hear that his brother is alright. Richard has surrendered himself but the army wasn't done for they were also there to take Jellal away also for destroying the Council and has fired the Etherion Blast. Some of the group tried to stop them from taking Jellal away, but Erza yelled at the group and told the group to let the army take Jellal away.
"Wait!" Jellal said all of a sudden and looked back at Erza. "I remembered, it was the color of your hair." When he said that Erza was surprised to hear that because at one point Jellal was the one that decided her last name would be similar to her hair color.
The next day the group went to the Cait Shelter Guild spot after the long night and everyone was bandaged and acquired new clothes after most of their clothes had been ruined from the tough battles they had. Then the Master of the Cait Shelter Guild asked everyone of the Alliance to listen to something he had to say.
"Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, not to mention Wendy and Carla. I commend your efforts of not only defeating the Oracion Seis, but also saving our village from Nirvana's wrath. Speaking as a representative of our Regional Guild league I Roubaul offer my deepest gratitude, Thank you." He says to the members of the Allied Force. "We are in your debt." Crystal was happy that things were alright. However there was more that he wanted to explain to everyone. "It is important, I ask that everyone please listen very closely to the tale I'm about to tell. First let me clear the air about something, the truth is we are not descendants of the Nirvit People. Indeed we are the Nirvits themselves. And many years ago, 400 to be exact Nirvana was created fashioned by my hands."
"By you?!" Lyon asked in shock to hear him say that, even the others were in disbelief and shock also.
"I thought if my dream of Nirvana was made a reality, I could end the gasly wars tearing the world apart. I would do so by reversing the morality of those whose minds were sent on the destruction of others. We made our home there, and we took great joy at what we accomplished through peace. We were a shining beacon of light in a once dark and shadowy world. However despite our best intentions we could not change the fact that for every action there was an equal and opposite reaction, Nirvana had brought light to what was once a terrible darkness not by chasing it away, but absorbing it so to speak. The world yearns for balance and order, the light serves no purpose without the darkness and vice versa. Light is born from darkness, and darkness is born from light, the two are forever intertwined." He continues explaining to the group as they know that it had affected Richard and Sherry switching their Light and Dark sides. "All the world's evil taken from those whose hearts were once consumed with it was transferred to the peace loving Nirvit. It was a nightmare. Engulfed in rage and hatred, we slaughtered each other until no one was left standing. That's not quite true for I am the only survivor. Then again in this particular situation the word "Survivor" is a little misleading, in truth my body ceased to function many years ago. What you see before you now is a projection of the man I once was. As punishment for my sins I this powerless spirit have stood as sentinel over my creation for 400 years, keeping my weary eyes open for one who could at last destroy Nirvana and consign it to the pages of History." Roubaul then smiled at how Nirvana is now completely destroyed once and for all. "And now… my post can be vacated, for that person has been found." Wendy started to cry as she had learned the truth. "I've deceived you Wendy, for that I am deeply sorry. All your fellow Guild members were specters. They were nothing but Illusions." Everyone was shocked to hear that a whole Guild was only an illusion made to be so real. "For many years I lived in this deserted village alone, always keeping a watchful eye over Nirvana. Until one day when a boy came to a companion needing help. His eyes burn with such intensity and sincerity that I simply had no choice but to take the little girl in. I had resigned myself to a solitary existence, but there she was." He remembers the time Wendy was brought to him and that he created the Guild known as Cait Shelter for her and Carla. "I filled the village with apparition so she wouldn't be alone."
"So you created an entire Guild just for Wendy?!" Lucy asked, shocked and Wendy was crushed learning this.
"Don't fret my dear, calm down neither you or Carla need those imaginary friends." Roubaul tells her and points to the members she allied with. "You're surrounded by real friends who care for you." He started to vanish slowly as he smiled at her while Wendy was still crying. "A bright future awaits you, embrace it with open arms. To each and every one of you I owe my deepest gratitude, I know I can leave Wendy and Carla in your hands." Those were his final words before finally disappearing and Wendy's Guild mark on her upper shoulder also vanishes. Erza walked to Wendy and placed a hand on her.
"I know all too well, the pain of losing a loved one. But you'll heal… we'll help you." She says to her. "Come with us, be a part of Fairy Tail."
With all of what we learned Wendy and Carla accepted Erza's invitation to be a part of Fairy Tail. This also meant Fairy Tail has a total of 4 Dragon Slayers, and each of us were taught by an actual Dragon. I still have little memory about my Dragon Glacies, but I also believe she has answers for my lost memories. I am hoping to find out about my past, but the real thing that troubles me is why does that Masked Girl have my sister's face from my memories? Why is she even alive? So many questions bother me and I won't get my answers soon.
