The battle in Hargeon continues on. Nashi is trying her best to fight off against Ankhselam while everyone else is dealing with Acnologia and the soldiers.
"Iron Dragon Club!" Gale knocked more soldiers away. The soldiers might have been brainwashed to continue fighting, but it looks like they're really starting to drop now. Although, it might not matter if they don't find some way to defeat Acnologia. "Come on! Who else wants some?!" Gale was going to keep fighting, but he noticed something. He spotted Nashi's scarf after it seemed like she lost it. Knowing how important it is to her, Gale moved as fast as he could and grabbed it. "Nashi should take a better hold of this."
"Gale!" Storm called as he hurried over to him. "Wait. What are you doing with Nashi's scarf?"
"I just found it. I know how important this is to her." Gale said.
"She's fighting Ankhselam now. You can give it back to her." Storm said. "I think I might have found a way to defeat Acnologia for good." Has Storm really found the answer?
...
Nashi
"Fire Dragon Talon!" Nashi continued to fight Ankhselam, but he was able to block her attack as well. He smashed her against the ground and tossed her aside. It seemed like Ankhselam truly was invincible.
"How much more of this are you willing to take, Nashi?" Ankhselam questioned. "Your father and his little team couldn't beat me. What makes you think you can? You're not even on the same level as your father."
"Don't be so sure that you've won." Nashi said as she was still able to get up. "Take a look out there. Looks like your army is starting to fall." It's true. There might have been a million soldiers, but it looks like they've really dropped down.
"It doesn't matter. I still have Acnologia, more powerful than an army." Ankhselam said. "There's also the fact that I'm immortal. It doesn't matter how hard you beat me around. I will eventually heal and return. Even if you managed to sever my head from my body, I would still be alive. You will never be rid of me."
"In that case, I'll just burn you down until there's nothing left!" Nashi shouted as she kept fighting. She kept trying to land whatever strike she could against him, but Ankhselam was able to block each one of her attacks.
"You might have landed a few strikes against me, but that's all you're going to get." Ankhselam said. "You're nowhere near as powerful as your father was. I've studied and analyze every bit of magic that your father could use. He had the power to bring down an entire mountain. You saw what he did back at that pathetic Crimson Unicorn guild. You can't even use Dragon Force. What makes you think you could ever measure up to him?"
"Shut up!" Nashi said as she tried to land one good hit, but Ankhselam was able to block that one as well. He hit her in the gut and was able to knock the wind right out of her.
"It's just as I said. There's nothing you can do against me, Nashi." Ankhselam said as he held her up by her arm.
"You haven't beaten me yet." Nashi said as she was doing her best to stay strong.
"Oh please." Ankhselam said as he wasn't buying her act. He tossed her back to the ground and was getting rather annoyed. "My power is practically infinite. You are just a mere child. You thought you could live up to your father's legacy or whatever, but you couldn't. A child like yourself could never hope to defeat a god like myself What made you think you could take me on alone?"
"She's not alone, bastard!" Both of them were surprised to hear that voice. They looked to the side to see Storm jump in the air and was joining in the fight.
"Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur!" Storm made the sword and swung it down on Ankhselam. It seemed to have made an impact, but Ankhselam was able to catch it with one arm.
"What is the meaning of this?" Ankhselam said.
"Storm, what are you doing here?!" Nashi said with fear of what might happen to him.
"What do you think? Did you think I was going to let you take this creep on alone?" Storm said. "You're not the only one that wants to take this jerk down, Nashi. Our teamwork and bond is what makes our guild as strong as it is. We all might be powerful on our own, but we can't take on every enemy alone."
"What is it about your guild? Why do you insist on taking on enemies that you can't beat?" Ankhselam said.
"You don't know that. It ain't over until it's over." Storm said. "That's just how our guild works. You're about to see that for yourself!" Storm took his turn as he took a shot at Ankhselam.
"Storm, don't!" Nashi pleaded, but he just kept going.
"Ice-Make: Ice Bringer!" Storm formed two blades of ice and tried to attack Ankhselam with it in an X-shape, but Ankhselam jumped over his attack and avoided it. "You're not going anywhere! Ice-Make: Lance!" Storm was able to strike Ankhselam with it, but he was able to brush the attack off. "Ice-Make: Death Scythe!" He formed another weapon and tried again, but Ankhselam was able to avoid it. Ankhselam closed the distance between them and grabbed Storm by his neck. He lifted Storm off the ground as his magic began to form around him like a cloud.
"You were saying?" Ankhselam taunted as Storm slowly felt his life being drained out of him. "I don't care how powerful your guild is, it's philosophies, or any of that nonsense. You might be the strongest guild in all of Fiore, but you're still just a mere guild. You should have learned some humility before challenging the likes of me. Those parents of yours should have done a better job of disciplining you ignorant brats. It would have allowed you to live longer."
"Don't kill him! Please!" Nashi begged, but Ankhselam seemed ready to end Storm's life.
"Perhaps you're right. We might not be as strong as our parents, but we're strong enough to defeat you." Storm claimed. "You're the one that's going to pay for being so ignorant."
"You're so pathetic. What could you possibly do now?" Ankhselam questioned.
"That's simple." Storm said with a smirk. "I can be the decoy, keeping your attention away from Acnologia." Ankhselam didn't quite get what he meant until he heard some sort of explosion. He looked to the side and saw Gray, Lyon, Levi, Juvia, and Ul combining their powers as they all blasted Acnologia with ice and water. This gave Laxus an opportunity to head straight for Acnologia and hit him with practically a million watts of lightning right in the chest. It appeared to have done real and actual damage.
"Storm was right! It's working!" Laxus said.
"What is this?!" Ankhselam questioned. He was in shock to see Acnologia was being pushed back. Storm took the distraction to blast Ankhselam with ice and free himself.
"I was able to find the one flaw in all of your plans." Storm said. "You were afraid you couldn't control Acnologia at his full power, or maybe your spell isn't as perfected as well as you think. It would seem that the farther away you are form Acnologia, the less power he has. I just needed to keep you busy until everyone else had the opening to bring Acnologia down."
"Amazing...!" Nashi said as she was practically speechless.
"Your constant babbling and arrogance has given us an opening. You've got no one to blame but yourself." Storm claim.
"Ignorant boy, wipe that smirk off your face!" Ankhselam shouted as he tried to attack Storm, but his attack was stopped by Simon crossing two swords together. "You?!"
"We might be a mere guild, but our power is stronger than anything you could have!" Simon stated. That was when Nova tried attacking Ankhselam with lightning.
"You think we're just kids? Then let's show how much we've grown!" Nova shouted as she kept attacking him. Sasha joined in the fight as well as she had her Heartful Sword ready to strike.
"Do you honestly think you can harm me with a mere sword?" Ankhselam said. He tried blocking her attack with his arm, but he felt something was off. He felt a few threads of his hair was cut off with a small cut appearing on his arm.
"If I was fighting alone, you might have a point, but I have my friends to help me." Sasha said. Gale joined in the fight as well as he kicked Ankhselam right in the chest.
"Nashi! I got something for you!" Gale called as he tossed her scarf to her. He then twisted his body and was able to hit Ankhselam to push him back.
"Way to go guys!" Nashi called as she grabbed her scarf and placed it back where it belongs. With her friends here, she feels like herself again and now knows that Ankhselam can and will be beaten.
"See, Ankhselam?" Storm said. "We might be a mere guild, but when we work together, there's no one we can't beat."
"But how?" Ankhselam said as he couldn't believe they actually harmed him. "You're just children."
"Maybe it's because we're children." Nashi said as she moved closer to him. "Our spirits are strong and our hopes are high. You might think it's an illusion, but we can make it a reality. Never giving up and always believing ourselves. This is what it means..." She raised her hand and her guild emblem shined with her flames burning brightly. "...to be a Fairy Tail wizard!" She drove that burning fist against Ankhselam's face and knocked him back.
"Ready?" Storm said as he stood with her.
"Oh yeah." Nashi said as they could see the end of this war insight, but Ankhselam wasn't going to give up without a fight.
"Our friends can take Acnologia. Let's finish this monster." Simon said with the others agreeing and ready to finish this fight. While the six of them were fighting him off, everyone else has almost finished the enemy. Only Acnologia really remains. As Laxus blasted Acnologia with his lightning, he could see that it was working.
"Storm was right! Acnologia is weakening!" Laxus said.
"This is our chance! I'll hold him down again!" Forge said as he used his magic. He had wooden roots grow out of the ground again and coiled around Acnologia to pin him to the ground. He wasn't the only one. A lot of others were using whatever they could to hold Acnologia down. Even without Ankhselam's help, Acnologia was still a tough one. "He's trying to break free!"
"Not if I can help it!" Stella called as she jumped high in the air and gathered as much moonlight as she could. "Dragon Slayer Secret Art! Artemis Arrows: Star Showers!" Stella generated multiple arrows made of moonlight. She had them all pierce through whatever was holding Acnologia to keep them in place. Some even pierced through his scales. Coro ran out ahead and had an idea to finish this.
"Michael! Shae! Use your unison raid on me!" Coro called.
"What?!" Shae questioned.
"Are you serious?!" Michael said.
"I am! We need to combine our powers to end this!" Coro said. Both of them went with it as they trusted him. Michael and Shae called on their powers of light and shadow and combined them into one.
"Holy Shadow Dragon Flash Fang!" They unleashed the attack with Coro waiting for it. He took the attack and rode with it as he was trying to combine it's power with his own.
'Apollin, you brought me to the future to defeat Acnologia. I'm glad I can finally do something to make your proud, and I have you to thank, Fairy Tail.' Coro thought. He combined his own dragon slayer magic with his own as it combined to one grand attack. "Dragon Supremacy Flash!" Coro smashed his fist against Acnologia's face and unleash all the power. A bright light erupted around Acnologia and his body began to burn. Acnologia's body began to burn as it was being sent back to the grave it belonged in and everyone cheered.
"What?!" Ankhselam said as he couldn't believe what he was witnessing. That allowed Nova and Gale to strike against him. When they landed their attacks, Sasha and Simon took their swords and slashed against his back. Storm and Nashi finished it as they smashed their fists of ice and fire together against him. Ankhselam was blown back and smashed against a rock. He's battered around and beaten. The mighty god is heading towards defeat. "Impossible..."
"This war is over, Ankhselam, and you lost." Storm stated. All of Ankhselam's plans have literally gone up in flames, but that does that mean it's over.
"Not yet." Ankhselam claimed.
