The final faceoff against Ankhselam and the Duat Kingdom is underway. The strongest and most well-known guilds are fighting together to bring this enemy down. As Ankhselam was rebuilding Acnologia's body, his forces were fighting off the enemy. There was over a million soldiers fighting until they can't fight anymore. Terran and Serena also joined in the fight.
"Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" Nashi unleashed her attack as she knocked more soldiers away. She tried to push through to get to Ankhselam, but more soldiers kept getting in her way. "These guys just don't quit!"
"That's okay!" Gale said as he jumped in and knocked some of the soldiers away. "They want to keep getting up, we'll just keep knocking them down."
"Yeah. I just hope everyone else is doing okay." Nashi said. The only way they're all going to get through this is if they all work together. It's really all they got against such an overwhelming force.
...
Storm
Storm was with his parents during this attack. They tried to get through, but they crossed paths with Terran. Terran seemed like he wanted to finish things with Storm.
"You again?!" Storm complained. "I've just about had it with you and your friends! Get the hell out of the way!" Storm unleashed an attack as a series of ice spikes shot out of the ground. Terran didn't even flinch from the attack. He just held out his hand and unleashed a burst of his power. It blasted right through with Storm getting blasted back.
"Have you forgotten already? Your ice has no effect on me." Terran said. Storm managed to get back up. He doesn't care how much Terran throws at him. He's going to keep fighting.
"I know this worked!" Storm said as he got his demon slayer magic ready. "Ice Demon Rage!" He used his demon slayer magic as he unleashed his breath attack. His demon slayer magic worked before, but Terran was ready for it this time. Terran held out his hand and was able to block the attack rather easily. "What?!"
"I will admit that your strange magic did catch me by surprise, but it's still just ice." Terran said. "I've figure out how that ice of yours works. It won't be as effective on me as last time." Storm had one advantage over this guy and he's lost it.
"How about my ice!" Gray said as he jumped in the air and was getting ready to attack Terran.
"Dad, don't!" Storm shouted, but Gray didn't listen.
"Ice-Make: Death Scythe!" Gray formed a scythe made out of ice. He swung it at Terran, but he was able to catch it rather easily. "What the hell?!" Terran easily shattered Gray's ice. He launched an energy blast and hit Gray with it as he was knocked out of the air.
"He called you his father. So you use the same magic as your son." Terran said. "It's pointless. Just as I told your son, I am the Cold Flame. I am a living unison raid. Ice and fire won't work on me."
"In that case, what about water?!" Juvia said as she joined her husband and son in the fight. "Water Jigsaw!" Juvia unleashed a series of water blades, but Terran jumped in the air and avoided the attack with him flying in the air.
"Water... Even fire can be used against it as long as it holds enough heat." Terran said. He swung his arm and generated a wave of fire. The flames were so intense that Juvia's water couldn't resist it.
"Mom!" Storm called as he hurried to her. She looked hurt badly from that. Storm glared right at Terran. He's wondering if this guy can even be beaten.
"So your family utilizes ice and water, does it?" Terran questioned. "All of it is useless against me. Allow me to show you." Terran unleashed more of his power and it tore through the three Fullbusters like a tornado. Maybe he really can't be beaten.
...
Drake
Drake was struggling against the other member of The Ten. At least Storm had both of his parents. He was fighting off Serena on her own. That made things even more difficult. Especially since Serena is the strongest wizard in all of the Duat Kingdom.
"Poison Dragon Scales!" Drake unleashed the attack, but Serena used her staff to deflect each one of his attacks. Drake tried moving in close as he swung his leg coated in poison at her, but she was able to block it as well.
"Is that really the best you can do?" Serena asked. Drake didn't stop as he placed his hand against the ground and balanced himself on his hands.
"Poison Dragon Spiral Jaw!" Drake tried spinning himself around, but Serena twirled her staff around and blocked that attack as well. She tried driving her leg against him, but Drake jumped away and avoided her attack.
"You have potential, but the results aren't that good." Serena said. "Oh well. I always finish no matter how little a man is."
"Lady, do you even hear yourself?" Drake said. Serena held out her hand and clutched it. Drake could hear her thoughts and was able to jump away as an explosion went off right where he was standing. The shockwaves still knocked him around as he bounced against the ground. Drake quickly got back up as he readied another attack. "Poison Dragon Roar!" Drake used his breath attack. Serena didn't even try to block it. She was washed up in the attack. Drake was hoping for the best, but he knew it was going to take more than that to beat her.
"How boring." Serena said as she appeared to be uninjured from that attack. "I expected more from someone in Fairy Tail. Are you really a man or are you just a child?"
"Damn you." Drake said as he was getting aggravated. 'She's using enchantments to weaken my magic and strengthen her defenses. She's on a whole other level than Wendy. How the hell am I going to beat her?' He was wondering what he was going to do, but it wasn't looking good. 'The only reason I've lasted this long was because I can hear her attacks coming, but she's still doing a number on me. I'm not sure I can react fast enough.'
"Let's continue to have some fun." Serena said as a light shined from her hand. "Ether Enchant!" She enchanted the ethernano around her as it became a series of energy rays. Drake moved around as fast as he could to avoid each attack with them exploding on contact. "Run all you like. It's not like it's going to do really anything."
"That does it!" Drake shouted. He moved around the attacks as best as he could. He got as close as he could to Serena as he launched himself at her with poison around his hand. He tried to strike at her with it, but Serena simply moved her head and avoided his attack. She swung her staff around and land a clean hit against Drake's head. He was smashed against the ground and was blown back.
"Face it, little boy. You're out of your league." Serena said. She and Terran are the two strongest of Ankhselam's forces. Maybe there is no way they can be beaten.
...
Ankhselam
Ankhselam continued with his spell. It's taking some time, but it will be worth it. About a fourth of Acnologia's body has been rebuilt and it's still going. While he was trying to rebuild Acnologia's body, he can still hear all the commotion that was going on behind him. Everyone was fighting and struggling, but it looked like everyone opposing him was having a harder time.
"It looks like they're not doing so well." Ankhselam said. "Fiore wizards might be some strong stuff, but they're still just humans and all humans have their limits. I can only imagine how they're all feeling." The Duat Kingdom was an overwhelming force. Even before this fight started, everyone was in rough conditions. The Fairy Knights tried, but Raren and Bislin weren't looking so well.
"Raren?! Bislin?!" Fred called in concern as he tried to fight off enemies.
"I'm at my limit." Bislin said.
"Same. I can't hold on." Raren said. In Mermaid Heel, Milly and Jessica dropped to the ground. Kora tried to cover them, but she was having a rough time herself.
"You two go and find cover." Kora said as she took deep breaths. "I'll hold them back."
"We can't, Kora. You haven't recovered from your fight against that other lady." Milly said.
"Just leave us and save yourself." Jessica said, but Kora could never do something like that. Even Raio was fighting as best as he could, but he was in rough shape himself. Nova and Damien tried their best to cover him, but Damien was having a hard time as well.
"Come on, you two. I know you can do more." Nova cheered.
"I'm trying." Damien said. "Damn. I don't think I can change into my more powerful forms."
"We can't give up." Raio said. They're all doing their best, but it was starting to look hopeless. It was as if Ankhselam can actually feel and hear all of the despair and falling wills out in that battlefield. Acnologia might not even be needed in this battle.
"It's over." Ankhselam said as he thought it really was. That was suddenly when a giant blast of lightning shot into the sky. That blast came from Laxus as he stood at the top of a destroyed building.
"Don't ever quit!" Laxus shouted at the top of his lungs. "It doesn't matter how powerful or overwhelming the enemy is! Go down fighting for what you believe in! That's what we're all fighting for! Push through!" It was like Laxus could tell what was going on with everyone as well. Those mere words gave everyone the strength they needed. The Fairy Knights pushed past their limits. Mermaid Heel stood back up and kept fighting. Damien and Raio pushed past their exhaustion and kept going.
"A sudden spike in morale?!" Ankhselam wondered as to how that even could have happened from mere words. Laxus just did the title of Fairy Tail's master proud.
...
Nashi
Nashi pushed through some soldiers herself. She wasn't going to give up before and she wasn't going to now. She had her friends to help her out and saw no reason as to why they should quit.
"You better believe it, Ankhselam." Nashi said. "We're not stopping until you're brought down." Everyone suddenly got an extra boost in strength and morale. She's going to keep fighting and everyone else will too.
...
Serena
"What was that about?" Serena questioned.
"That was our master." Drake said as he was getting back up. Serena was a little surprised to see he was standing back up and wanted to keep fighting. "He was putting the fighting spirit back in us. It doesn't matter how strong you are. We'll fight to the end."
...
Terran
Terran was surprised himself. He saw Storm getting back up as well. None of the Duat Kingdom fighters could comprehend where all of this strength is coming from.
"You still want to fight when it's hopeless?" Terran questioned.
"It's not hopeless." Storm said. "If we're still breathing, we're still fighting. That's the way it's always been. You really want to beat us, you have to actually kill us."
"You are aware that you will die if you continue." Terran said.
"Don't be so sure. We're going to keep pushing." Storm said. Everyone is going to keep trying to push through. It seemed hopeless for a while, but everyone is going to push through until they win. With so much on the line, no one can quit.
