Fairy Tail and the rest of Fiore is doing well against the Duat Kingdom. Seven members of The Ten have been defeated. However, the three that remain are the three strongest. Defeating them won't be as easy as defeating those that came before. Simon is about to see that for himself as he is faced against Aelita herself.

"Okay. Come on." Simon said as he drew on a sword and was ready.

"Very well." Aelita said as she held out her hand and shot shards of ice like a shotgun. Simon used his sword and deflected each one of the shards. He closed the distance as he tried to attack her, but she instantly switched to wind magic. She generated a powerful gust of wind with just her hand. Simon got hit by it as he was blown into the air, but he recovered quickly and requipped.

"Heaven's Wheel! Scattered Petals!" Simon unleashed a barrage of swords at her. He added to it as he used his heavenly body magic and unleashed a barrage of lights. He unleashed a barrage of attacks and hoped it did some damage.

"Is that really all you've got." Aelita said. The dust cleared away and saw that Aelita was perfectly unharmed.

"All those attacks and she didn't even get a scratch." Simon said. "She's quite skilled." Aelita held out her hand and unleashed a torrent of flames at him. Simon quickly changed into his Flame Emperor Armor and tried blocking the damage. Even with his armor, the flames were quite damaging. Simon dived out of the flames and landed on the ground. "Ice, wind, and fire. You must be the one known as Elemental Mistress."

"Indeed, I am. My name is Aelita Alla. My specialty is with all forms of elemental magic." Simon could see that defeating this enemy won't be easy. She's on a whole other level.

"You might be powerful, but that will not stop me." Simon said. Simon was ready to attack again, but he heard a commotion going on. He looked to the side and Sasha was trying her best to fight off against Aelita's subordinates by herself.

"Worried about your friend?" Aelita questioned.

"That's none of your concern!" Simon said as he flew at her. He had fire form around his sword and tried to attack her, but she easily moved out of the way.

"You should stay focus on this battle." Aelita said as she placed her hand against Simon. "That's assuming you want to stay alive." All of a sudden, there was a flash of lightning. Simon could be in real danger against this enemy.

...

Storm

Simon wasn't the only one having trouble. Storm was faced with another member. He was faced with Terran, and even the soldiers looked terrified of him. Storm can see why. Storm is sensing his immense magic power.

"Oh boy. This guy has unbelievable strength." Storm said.

"Another insect." Terran said as he was getting a little bored with what he was faced with this resistance.

"I don't know who you are, but I do know you don't belong here." Storm said as he fought past the fear and readied an attack. He didn't wait around as he instantly froze Terran. "That was easier than I thought." It wasn't. Terran was able to break out of the ice very easily.

"Ice magic? Ice and fire aren't going to work on me." Terran said. "I am Terran Harravin, also known as Cold Flame in the Duat Kingdom. Let me show you why that is." Terran formed a fireball in his hand and threw it at Storm. It caused a large explosion. If Simon is having a hard time against his opponent, Storm might have an even worse time against this enemy.

Erza and Mirajane

When Erza and Mirajane got to Magnolia, they joined in the fight. They were trying to take down as many enemy soldiers as possible.

"Be on guard." Erza said. "Ankhselam himself could be here, as well as any members of The Ten."

"It won't stop us. Here they come" Mirajane said. Enemy soldiers were heading for both of them. They were ready to attack, but they didn't have to as the ground the enemy was standing on turned into some sort of liquid. Not only did it trapped them, but they were attacked my multiple attacks as well. "What just happened?"

"I know those forms of magic." Erza said.

"Erza!" Erza and Mira looked and they were surprised to see Jellal with Crime Sorciere.

"Jellal! You're here!" Erza said.

"Of course. I heard Fairy Tail was in great danger." Jellal said.

"We came as soon as we could. We know about everything that is going on." Macbeth said.

"We know all about this Ankhselam. That's why we came here to bring the guy down." Erik said.

"On top of that, Erik and Jellal were worried about their wives and sons." Meldy said.

"Yes. Their love for you is what compelled them to come." Richard said.

"Shut up! You're embarrassing me!" Erik shouted.

"Regardless of the reasons, I'm just glad to see you're here and here to help us." Erza said. "There are enemies all over Magnolia."

"Don't worry. We'll clear them all out." Jellal said. "Where is Simon by the way?"

"We were together, but we had to separate. He's probably facing an enemy of himself, but I'm sure he's doing fine." Erza said. "As happy as I am to see you, I must hurry and find Natsu. He's the one the enemy is really after."

"Natsu? It's hard not to hear that loudmouth." Erik said. "I heard him somewhere up north from here."

"Go. We'll take care of the enemy." Jellal said.

"Thank you." Erza said as she and Mirajane hurried to help the others.

"We better get going ourselves." Sawyer said. Jellal agreed as the rest of them hurried through Magnolia. "Those guys are after Dragneel? Why are they after him?"

"He is a powerful wizard. I figure someone like Brain would try to take his power for his own." Macbeth said.

"It doesn't matter why he's being targeted. What does is that we help him and the rest of Fairy Tail." Meldy said. They all agreed to that and were ready for anything. With ears like Erik's that's a good thing as he heard trouble.

"Meldy, watch out!" Erik said. Meldy looked around for danger, but she didn't see anything. Without warning, an explosion went off that blew Meldy back. She smashed into a wall and took some serious damage.

"Meldy!" Jellal called. "Erik, where did the attack come from?"

"I don't know." Erik said as he looked around. He heard something again. "Move!" A series of explosions went off around them and knocked them around. "We've got company." He looked to who was the one that cast it. She walked over and stood on a piece of ruble to stand above them.

"Five good looking men at the base of my feet." All of them looked and were met with Serena. "I must be doing something right." Serena looked around at her opponents and seemed thrilled, until she saw Richard and Sawyer. "My mistake. Three out of five." Those two took some offense to that.

"Who are you?" Jellal said.

"Do you sense her magic power?" Macbeth said.

"Yeah. She's got some serious power." Erik said.

"Boys, you're in for a wild ride." Serena said. That might sound fun for her, but not for them.

...

Simon

Aelita launched an attack against Simon. She blasted him with lightning, but she was surprised when Simon jumped away and was wearing Lightning Emperor Armor.

"I'm impressed. He can requip instantly." Aelita said. Simon got ready to attack her again, but Simon kept looking back to where Sasha was. "You should be more worried about yourself at the moment."

"Mind your own business." Simon said, but he just can't help it. It sounds like Sasha is having a rough time against those four girls. Sasha was doing her best, but those four girls did appear to be tough. She pulled out her Lightning Rapier and launched some lightning at Apaki.

"Forget about it!" Apaki said as she slammed her fist against the ground and created a wall of fire to block the attack. She jumped through the flames and went at Sasha with Sasha jumping back. "You don't have what it takes to beat me, let alone the four of us!"

"Oh no?! Tempest Cannon!" Sasha pulled out her weapon and blasted Apaki with it. Apaki wasn't the only that attacked. Tammera caused the ground to rise under Sasha and launched her in the air. Silis jumped in the air and blasted Sasha back to the ground with her wind. Sasha was able to get back up, but Aquia attacked her as well.

"Aqua Claws!" Aquia had claws made out of water form around her hands. She tried attacking her, but Sasha grabbed her arm and tossed her against Apaki.

"Watch it!" Apaki said.

"Like it's my fault you weren't smart out of the way." Aquia said.

"Seriously. You are so slow, Apaki." Tammera said.

"Shut it!" Apaki said. "Truth be told, I rather fight that guy fighting Lady Aelita."

"Lady Aelita told us she would handle it." Aquia said.

"I know, but he's not worth her time." Apaki said.

"While that is true, you wouldn't do very well. You easily got roundhouse kicked in the face." Silis mocked.

"She only got me because I was distracted!" Apaki said. "Why don't you go turn a windmill, you big bag of wind?"

"Take it easy. Aquia just did worse than you. I can't believe she even got tossed around like that." Tammera said.

"What?!" Aquia said. The four of them kept arguing with each other. Sasha would find it weird and annoying if she hadn't seen it a bunch of times in her guild.

"Those four don't seem to get along." Sasha said. Sasha wasn't going to wait around for them to settle their differences. She requipped again and brought out her handheld Jupiter Cannon. "Hey, bicker sisters!" She called an got their attention. She powered her cannon and fired it right at them. It caused a large explosion and it looked like the four of them were done. "Morons." She turned and left them, but water wrapped around her leg. She was lifted up and slammed against the ground.

"What were you saying?" Aquia said.

"Sasha!" Simon called, but he didn't have the chance to help her. Aelita caused vines to grow out of the ground and constrict Simon to prevent him from helping her.

"You shouldn't have underestimated us." Tammera said.

"We might bicker, but we're still powerful." Silis said. They both jumped in the air and was going to attack Sasha when she was down. Luckily, she was saved as someone struck both of the girls down. Simon and Sasha saw who it was, and Simon couldn't believe it.

"Hey, Fairy Tail. It's been a long time."

"I don't believe it. Ezrin?!" Simon said. He was surprised to see Ezrin. As you may have remembered, Ezrin is an etherious hybrid. He was once Fairy Tail's enemy as he worked for Neo Tartaros. He realized the error of his ways and left that life behind.

"Who are you?" Sasha asked.

"Sasha Varian... I've been wanting to meet you." Ezrin said.

"Sasha, he's Seymour's son!" Simon said.

"Seymour?!" Sasha said.

"Yes. You knew my father." Ezrin said. "I was once part of Neo Tartaros. I blamed you for my father's death and wanted you dead, but Simon showed me I was wrong."

"Why are you even here?" Simon asked until he noticed the blue cloak he was wearing. "That cloak! You're in Crime Sorciere?!"

"That's right. After the last time we saw each other, I actually met your father." Ezrin said. "I told him my story and he let me join. Enough about me, though. It looks like we have bigger problems." He held out his hand for Sasha. Sasha took it and he helped her up. "Simon, I've got Sasha's back. You focus on your battle." A former enemy that once wanted Sasha dead is now helping. Simon was impressed.

"Thanks." Simon said as he was able to cut himself free. He stood ready to face Aelita.

"I take it you're giving me your full concentration." Aelita said. "You wish to continue to fight despite the overwhelming odds against you?"

"It doesn't matter. You need to be stopped." Simon said.

"Very well." Aelita said as she reached for her boa and removed it. Simon was able to spot the animal mark at the base of her neck.

"That bird on you. That's part of your special rank system. What animal is it?" Simon asked.

"It's the eagle. I hold the mark of the eagle." Aeltia said.

"Mark of the eagle?" Simon said as he remembered the system. "You means, as powerful as you are, you're only the third strongest?"

"As powerful as I am?" Aelita questioned. "I haven't even shown you my real power." She held out her hand with Simon getting ready for whatever she uses. "Thunder's End." She unleashed a large and powerful blast of lightning that swallowed Simon. She cast a powerful spell like it was nothing. Perhaps this enemy is too much for Simon to defeat.
