""thinking""
On with the story
"What's the point of making these guys fight each other?" Natsu said as he saw more results of the guild members fighting each other appearing on the rune screen
"It's probably to see who in the guild is the strongest. But this is just ridicules." Makarov pinched his nose in frustration.
"Hmm.." Natsu thought as he looked at the runes in front of him. He noticed that Alzack person seemed to be taking down several mages. "So every time these guys get trapped in the runes, a battle will start."
"And the one still standing can leave. You dumb brats! Don't fight each other!" Makarov shouted angrily as he had puffs of smoke exiting his head.
"It can't be helped. This...Freed guy right? He must have been working' on these rune traps for quite a while. It's not something you can do on the fly, right?" Natsu asked Makarov.
"Hm. He must have been secretly preparing while the festival was distracting everyone." Makarov said as he thought about it.
"This guy-Oh wait, he just got smoked by..Bixlow?" Natsu said, noting the results. "Are these guys really that strong?" He wondered.
"Their Laxus's personnel bodyguards. They're the ones whose strength he already acknowledges."
"Hmm.." Natsu hummed. "Gah, dammit! If the girls weren't in statues, i'd blow this fucking barrier down!" Natsu complained.
"You think you can take it down?" Makarov asked.
"I've come across this sort of thing before, but this Freed guy has a pretty complex order he wrote them in." He read the runes, but he couldn't find any gap in it. "And if I take down the barrier the hard way, I could risk shattering the girls."
"I see." Makarov noted.
"Wow." Natsu said as he watched the counter for how many participants were left. "No one is fooling around, only 20 left standing."
"Bah, this is just chaos!" Makarov said as he stamped his feet.
"Man, maybe if i'm careful I coul-hm?" Natsu turned to the statue of Erza with a narrowed look.
"Eh?" Makarov wondered. "Wait..Erza."
"Hmm.." Natsu thought as he walked up to her. He tilted his head a little and was wondering why he sensed magic build up. He then lightly tapped her on the shoulder. He then smirked. "I see"
"What are you doing?" Makarov asked him.
"This." Natsu simply said as he kissed Erza's frozen statue lips.
Makarov looks to him as he saw a crack appearing near Erza's mouth as the whole figure cracked before shattering and Erza appeared, unharmed from the encasement of stone.
"Erza!" Makarov exclaimed in surprise as she was freed from her stone shell
Natsu smirked in the kiss as he continued to do so to Erza who was surprised and confused by the kiss
"Mhamamamammmmmm!" Erza squealed in the kiss while hitting Natsu's shoulder as she was running out of air quick
"STOP KISSING HER, YOU HORMONE CRAZED BRAT!" Makarov shouted as he slaps Natsu's back head hard
Natsu had a red bulge appeared on his back head but that doesn't seem to bother him
"such delicious lips, my princess has" Natsu said as he licks his lip and stares at Erza who tried to catch her breath
After a few seconds, she catches her breath and looks to them
"how did you break her out of the enchantment?" Makarov asked Natsu
"she was only encased in it and it maybe because of her artificial eye she told me about" Natsu said as he cupped Erza's cheeks gently and gives her forehead a kiss
""I see! The artificial eye must've halved the stone eyes magic on her!"" Makarov thought
"or maybe it was because of the kiss of her prince charming" Natsu thought with a smirk
"you're delusional, boy" Makarov said with a sweat drop
"Natsu? Master? What's happening?" She asked confused.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Natsu asked her
"Well, I was coming off stage and headed back then I noticed everyone was turned to stone, and then..Evergreen." She said, and suddenly remembered.
"Yeah, that beauty pageant wannabe turned you, and all the contestants into stone. Well most of you." Natsu noted while looking at the others.
"What!? Why? Where is everyone anyway?" She noticed that the guild was empty.
"Long story short, Laxus crashed the contest with his goon squad, and then turned Fairy Tail against each other by making them fight each other till the last member is left standing."
"He did what!?" Erza shouted surprised.
"And me and the old man are trapped here because Freed set up these damn runes that prevented us from entering." He tapped his sword against the invisible wall to show her.
"I see. This is very bad..Evergreen. I need to find her and make her turn everyone back to normal." She stated. "But why can't you get out of the rune field?" She asked curiously.
"Hell if I know. The rules said that those over 80 and stone statues may not participate."
"Wait..then-"
"would you break up with me because of that?" Natsu asked with a sad frown on him
"no" Erza shook her head.
"I love you no matter what" Erza said with a smile as Natsu smiled back
"they got Gray too?!" Makarov exclaimed as he saw the result of a battle appearing.
"Is there no other way you two can get out of here?" Erza asked.
"Well.." Natsu looked at the barrier. "It's not like I COULDN'T. I'm just concerned that if I do manage to take it down, the blowback will be too much for the statue's to handle."
"Ehh? Why don't you just do it already?"
"Huh?" All three looked over to see Gajeel sitting casually on the bar eating a box of spoons.
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?!" Natsu shouted with a tick mark.
"Not the spoons!" Makarov cried in disbelief.
"I've been here this entire time. Sounds like you guys are in a bind." Gajeel answered as he hopped on to the floor. "Let me have a go at this." He approached the wall, but ran into the invisible wall much to everyone's surprise.
"What the hell!?" Natsu shouted in disbelief.
"That's my line!" Gajeel said.
"You can't get out either?" Erza asked.
"Hmm..well you're definitely not over 80. Maybe he counts as a stone statue?" Natsu guessed.
"I'M AN 'IRON' DRAGON SLAYER YOU BASTARD!" Gajeel yelled angrily.
"Regardless, Erza, you should head out an-Oof." Makarov then suddenly collapsed.
"Master!" Erza rushed to his side as he fell on the ground.
"Hey gramps, are you alright?!" Natsu asked worriedly.
"N..Natsu..Erza...Gajeel..please..stop Lax.." Makarov seemed to be blacking out as he muttered words to the three.
"Master hang in there!" Erza ran over to the bar and grabbed a bottle of pills from behind the counter. "He needs his medicine, now!" She said as she uncorked the bottle and got some pills in her hand.
"Is he sick?" Natsu asked.
"No but, recently he's been needing it to keep up with his day to day activities. But he must have not taken it this week." She frowned.
"This whole business with Laxus must have been taking a toll on his heart." Natsu had his hair covering his face as he listened to the scarlet haired mage.
"Why is Laxus doing this?!" Erza said angrily.
"...Guess i got no choice." Natsu said as he turned and faced the barrier.
"What are you doing?" Erza asked him.
"getting rid of this barrier." Natsu said.
"But the rules are absolute for the barr-"
"Yeah well.." Natsu said as he raised his hand up and an Armored dragon claw appeared on it
"I never like following rules"
Natsu said with a smirk as he pierced his claws to the wall of the runes barrier as static appeared
Erza and Gajeel shielded their eyes as they saw Natsu ripping the barrier apart with his hands
"Haaaa!" Natsu tear the barrier apart as it was burned away
"Fuuu!" Natsu blows his smoking claws as it was steaming a bit
"Are you alright?" Erza asked him.
"Yeah i'm fine. Well that barrier is history now." He replied while making his Armor dragon claw disappear
"Alright let's go. Gajeel, I need you to take gramps to the ol' lady's place up in the forest out of town." Natsu told him.
"What!? I ain't your fuckin errand boy. You do it! I'm going after Laxus." He said as he walked forward.
"Can you even beat him?" Natsu asked him.
"Ehh? What are you talking about?" Gajeel glared back.
"If you can't handle Laxus, then who else is going to stop him?" Natsu asked.
"I can deal with him. Just stay out of my way." And with that Gajeel ran off in search of Laxus.
"That dumbass is going to so get it." Natsu face palmed with a sigh of annoyance.
"Well, i'll take gramps to the Porlyusica. I'll be back to give you a hand Erza." Natsu picked up the master's small body and summoned his magic bike
"Be careful Natsu." Erza warned him.
"Back at ya." Natsu smiled before he drove off. Erza watched until he was out of sight before running off in search of the Raijinshuu.
at the forest
Natsu reached the forest where the guild medic, Porlyusica was said to live there
He got off his bike and carried up Makarov and knocked on the door
The door opened and Porlyusica sees Natsu with and unconscious Makarov with him
"put him there" Porlyusica ordered him as she points to the bed in the room
Natsu did as he was told and went in the home and place down Makarov on the bed
"tell me how did this happen" Porlyusica said as she was grinding some herbs on a stone plate
Natsu then told the whole incident to her as Porlyusica frowns
"That overgrown brat." Porlyusica sighed in annoyance. "He's too caught up in his own ideal of Fairy Tail, he doesn't realize that it hurts the ones he's close with."
"Is gramps gonna be ok?" Natsu asked.
"Hard to say. I'll need to do an examination on him..but at his age.." Porlyusica didn't sound hopeful.
"Well, just do the best you can. I'm gonna go help out the others." Natsu headed for the door.
"Don't underestimate Laxus." Porlyusica warned him. "He may be brash and arrogant, but he is stronger than he would have everyone believe."
"..." Natsu just blinked and headed out with a nod. Porlyusica looked back to Makarov and sighed.
"Hope your brats can settle this without you, Makarov." Porlyusica said as Makarov remained unconscious.
In the middle of the town
Erza was searching high and Low for Laxus and the others
"where are they?!" Erza exclaimed before jumping away as Magical bullets came running down
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"I don't know how you got out of my Stone eyes enchantment but I don't care because we can now truly see who the true Fairy Queen really is." Evergreen appeared as she chuckled.
"I don't know why you're doing this Evergreen, but you better turn everyone back to normal this instant." Erza demanded.
"Hmph, let's see if you can back up your talk, now let's dance, Titania!" Evergreen mused as she fired off an endless wave of magic bullets.
Erza back flipped away from harm.
Erza then jumped towards Evergreen and slashed her two swords at her and it caused a building to get cut in half
"Your strength is as monstrous as ever." Evergreen said as she continued to fly away from Erza.
"Yosei Kiju! Reburahon!" Evergreen fired more glittery bullets at Erza, making Erza deflect most of them. But Evergreen began firing off more than usual, causing Erza to get winged by a couple shots.
"Give it up Erza, you can't beat me like this!" Evergreen boasted. Erza clenched her teeth and suddenly summoned swords on her feet. She began slashing bullets faster, and then kicked off both blades into Evergreen's dress, staking her harmlessly to a building top. Erza than landed on the roof and stared at Evergreen with a glare. Evergreen than opened her eyes and scowled at Erza.
"Enough of this foolishness Evergreen. Turn everyone back to normal now." Erza ordered. Evergreen gulped. She was no match for Erza, and she had no more tricks up her sleeves. But then she had an idea.
"M-my stone eyes have one other ability." She nervously smirked. Erza stopped and listened. "It's remote control! I could shatter those girls from here into dust whenever I want too!" Erza was surprised. "So if you don't want to have those girls deaths on your conscience, you better back off!" Evergreen ordered.
"...I see." Erza said as she began glowing.
"Heh, I guess you are a re-"
"Then if you do it, I can at least put their souls to rest with your life." Erza now transformed into her Heavens Wheel Armor and had dozens of blades all poised to impale Evergreen.
"Eh?" Evergreen seemed to not be understanding the situation. But when she did.."W-Wait, I-I was just-j-j-just jok-"
"Repent in the afterlife." Erza than brought her hand forward.
"WAAAAAIIIIIIT-Oof!" Evergreen screamed, but the force she met was Erza's gauntlet to the face.
"And that's how you bluff, idiot." Erza simply said, annoyed.
"G-got it." Evergreen nodded in pain.
at the guild
The stone statues that were the contestants began glowing with a bright yellow flash. And then all of sudden, everyone was back to normal.
"Huh?"
"What were we-?"
"Why am I-?" Lucy, Cana, Mira, Juvia, Levy, and Bisca were all drawing a blank as to why they were suddenly in the middle of Fairy Tail
"The heck?" Bisca wondered.
"What's going on?" Mira wondered.
"Last I remember I was-" Lucy began to say.
"It was Evergreen" Mira said while holding her head. "She must have turned us all to stone when we all came back stage."
"But why would she?" Bisca wondered.
"Juvia does not see anyone here. Perhaps they all went to enjoy the festival?" Juvia suggested.
"And leave us here? There is no way that master would just let Evergreen get away with this." Mira said.
"Who is this Evergreen?" Lucy asked.
"She's part of Laxus's personal bodyguards. Although if she is here, that means Bixlow and Freed can't be too far behind." Bisca explained.
"Well we aren't going to find out anything by standing around doing nothing." Cana said. "Let's go look around town." They all agreed to it and went to go find their clothes.
On the road
Natsu was speeding his way to the guild as he saw that the rune barrier, he tore apart was back on
"tch!" Natsu clicked his tongue as he summoned his Armored Dragon claw and was about to tore apart the rune barrier but stopped as he sees the rune disappearing
"someone must've beaten that Freed guy" Natsu said as he got back on his bike but stopped as he looks to see something/s floating in the sky
"are those!?" Natsu exclaimed as he saw hundreds of floating yellow spheres
With Erza
Erza was busy running all over the place looking for Laxus hoping to talk some sense into him. But her search led her to several rather embarrassing dead ends.
"Damn you Evergreen. She got me AGAIN!" Erza came out in defeat from the men's bath house.
"where could he be?"
"Erza!" A voice belonging to Mira shouted.
"Mira? Everyone!" They all began rushing towards Erza. "You're all right!"
"Yeah, what the heck is going on!? Where's everyone at?" Bisca demanded.
"Well Laxus.." Erza began to explain her version of the story leaving the rest of them speechless.
"But..why?!" Levy wondered.
"I knew he was insane but..." Cana was surprised.
"Anyway, right now we need to find him!" Erza ordered.
"Let's go see if everyone is ok while we're at it." Cana and everyone agreed.
"Alright! C'mon!" Mira said as she and the others ran down town.
"Gray-sama..I must find Gray-sama!" Juvia said as she ran off toward another part of town.
"What should we do?" Lucy asked.
"Lets head back to the guild. We'd have a better vantage point there." Bisca pointed out.
"I agree. We'll use it to bring in anyone who's hurt." Levy agreed.
"..."
"What is it?" Lucy asked Cana who appeared to be looking into town.
"Nothing. Just hoping the master wakes up soon." she frowned. "Maybe if Laxus knows what's happening to gramps, he'll snap out of it."
"Really?"
"Laxus is an asshole most of the time, but he cares about Fairy Tail too." Cana shook her head. "Lets just get back to the guild."
"Hai!"
Catherdal.
"I wonder when someone is going to show up." Laxus yawned with a bored tone. Almost all the players were gone and only a few remained.
He stood up and was about to head out before he sensed someone approaching from the entrance. He smirked from the figure that approached.
"Well now THIS is a treat! To think you would participate in my little game as well..Mystogan." Laxus sounded pleased that the caped ninja had entered.
"You leave me with little choice." Mystogan said while stopping and composed himself. "Call off this game, and maybe we'll pass it off as something for the festivities." Mystogan ordered.
"Now, now, don't be raining on my parade. Actually, there's word around the guild about the two of us being the strongest. Whaddya' say we clear that up and see who's top dog?" Laxus offered.
"Not that I particularly care, but there is Erza."
"Yeah, she's pretty good. But she ain't anywhere close to being a threat to me." Laxus boasted.
"Not a threat? You must be blind as you are arrogant."
"Besides, we both know what you're really like. After all, you are-"
"!" Mystogan blasted a light beam at Laxus with a staff and Laxus responded in kind with a beam of lightning. The two attacks bursted out of the church and the magic power was out of control.
At the town
"The Cathedral!" Erza turned to the building from the immense magic power.
Back with Natsu
"Hm?" Natsu turned to the cathedral away from them.
"He must be there!" Natsu said as he speeded his bike to the catherdal
At the Catherdal
"You...where did you learn that?" Mystogan demanded while the smoke cleared.
"Whoa, rare to see you lose composure. Maybe i'll tell you if you beat me?~" Laxus taunted.
"You will truly regret this Laxus." Mystogan said as he reached for his other staffs. "I will show you magic that the likes of you have never seen."
"Well come at me whenever you're ready. I'll show you where you stand!" Laxus made a pissed off look while readying himself. The two were at a standoff.
Mystogan then struck all his staffs in the ground in a ring around him.
"Babel Tower." He said, and suddenly a huge white beam of magic shot out of the ground, encompassing the whole building. Laxus was sent flying upwards, trying to comprehend what the hell Mystogan did. He was floating in space much to his shock.
"What!? The town-!?" He then looked up and a large monster was ripping out of the space itself! "AAAAAAHHHHhhhhh!" Laxus yelled while the monster was attempting to devour him. But then suddenly the scenery around them crumbled and shattered like glass. They were back in the cathedral without a scratch.
"HA! You think i'd fall for a stupid illusion like that!?" Laxus laughed.
"No, I expected that much at least."
"If you plan to just bore me to death with your mind games, then your just a fool!"
"I wonder which one of us is the fool?" Mystogan remarked. A magic circle then appeared beneath Laxus and suddenly a purple beam engulfed Laxus and shot up through five magic circles. "Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song!" Mystogan declared.
"Took the words out of my mouth!" Laxus said smugly.
"Wha-Crap!" Mystogan Didin't realize Laxus was also using a lightning spell on him.
"GAAAAAHHH!"
"OOOHHHHHWAAHH!" Laxus and Mystogan both bellowed in pain while their spells hit at the same time. There a massive explosion from the two attacks leaving nothing but smoke inside and outside the building.
When it cleared, Mystogan had dispersed into his mist form and reappeared in the same place, while Laxus was also in his lightning form and appeared in front of him.
"Not bad. You actually are S-class material." He had to praise Mystogan's fighting ability.
"LAXUS!" The two stopped to look at the voices calling out to Laxus. It was Erza.
"Well now, this is a treat! Looks like you got out of Evergreen's stone spell! That's good, now all of Fairy Tail's strongest has assembled!" Laxus pointed out.
"stop this at once!" Erza demanded him
""Erza!""Mystogan thought while glancing back.
"You think you can look away?!" Laxus yelled after shooting a beam of lightning at his head. The hood was ripped off and a familiar patch of blue hair appeared.
"J-Jellal?" Erza was shocked when Mystogan's identity was revealed.
"...This isn't how I wanted this." Mystogan said while frowning. "Erza, i'm not the Jellal you know."
"Wha-?" Erza was beyond words.
"I shall leave this to you. Stop Laxus." Mystogan said to Erza as he started to go transparent
"wait!" Erza exclaimed and tried to stop him but failed.
"Well that's a pity. Looks like your only hope has up and chickened out." Laxus said while crossing his arms.
Erza readied herself as she summoned her sword
Laxus raised an eyebrow to her before having lightning dancing around the place
"let's see if you're strong enough, Erza" Laxus said with a smirk
With Natsu
"phew" Natsu huffed out as he clapped his hand with satisfaction as he looks to Bickslow who he had just beaten up
"those dolls were really annoying" Natsu said as he looks to his wrecked-up magic bike that was destroyed by Bickslow
"guess I'll be running for now" Natsu said as he started running to the Catherdal
Back with Erza
Erza jumped back while in her lightning resistant Armor, the Lightning Empress' Armor
"even with that armor, I doubt it will protect you for long, Erza" Laxus said with a smirk
Erza huffed out and in as she was trying her best to defeat Laxus
"time to finish this" Laxus shouted as he disappeared in a lightning bolt
Erza readied herself for his attack and saw him appearing behind him
"haaa!" Erza swings her lance but her eyes widen in shock as she saw Laxus disappearing again and then re-appearing behind her with a fist imbued with lightning
""damn it!""
Erza saw the fist getting closer to her and then
BOOM!
An explosion was heard as it clouded her vision
Erza coughs a bit as she closed her eyes from the smoke
"what the!?" the sound of Laxus exclaim of surprise was heard by Erza as she looks to see his fist caught by Enryuo no Yoroi who appeared beside Erza
The Armor then punches Laxus' face as he was sent skidding back a bit
"so, the almighty Wizard Saint finally joins the party?" Laxus said while holding his slightly bruised up cheek from the punch
Enryuo no Yoroi then purged off as Laxus saw that no one was wearing the Armor from inside
The Armor then assembled onto Erza as she wore the Armor.
"so, pink head decided to give you his Armor?" Laxus said as he had lightning dancing around his body
He then saw the Armor glowing red as it transformed to fit Erza's figure
Erza looks to the armor on her as she saw how it fit her figure perfectly (imagine a male armor transforming into a female ones)
"good job, Erza"
A voice called out to Erza as both of them turns to see Natsu walking towards them
"Natsu!" Erza exclaimed with a happy voice to see her boyfriend
"yo!" Natsu greeted her before eying Enryuo no Yoroi on her
"looks perfect on you" Natsu said with a thumbs up to her as Erza blushed a bit
"you finally here!" Laxus voiced out as he looks to them
Natsu looks to him for a moment before summoning Enryuo no Kiba to his side
"Erza, I need you to go outside and handle the orbs in the sky" Natsu said as he gives Enryuo no Kiba to her
"eh?" Erza said while grabbing Enryuo no Kiba as Natsu pointed outside and she saw the floating lightning orbs in the sky
"The Thunder Palace!?" Erza exclaimed in shock
"I'm sure you know right? Once those lacrima are fully charged, it'll be one hell of a firework show for town, hahaha!" Laxus laughed.
"Laxus, you bastard!" Erza exclaimed at him and was about to go pound some sense to him but was stopped by Natsu who raised his hand to her
"I'll handle him, you go outside and destroy the orbs" Natsu said as he took off his vest
"ho? so full of yourself, aren't you?" Laxus said with a smirk
"are you sure, Natsu?" Erza asked to him as he nodded
Erza looks to him for a moment before nodding as well
"be careful, Natsu" Erza said as she sprouted out Enryuo no Yoroi wings and flied to the Thunder palace in the sky
"you got it" Natsu said as he grins
He then ignited his fist in flames while Laxus with lightning
With Erza
She soars to the sky and saw hundreds of the Thunder Palace surrounding the town
"There's at least a hundred or more." Erza said as she looked around the town.
"how do i stop this?" Erza asked herself before seeing Enryuo no Yoroi glowing to her
"eh?" Erza then saw Enryuo no Kiba glowing as well
The katana then transformed and attached itself to the gauntlet part of the armor
Erza raised her hand up and saw how Enryuo no Kiba transforms into a crossbow like weapon
"fire at them"
A voice spoke to Erza as she saw how the crossbow glowed to her
Erza nodded and aim the crossbow at a thunder palace lacrima near the top of her
She focused her vision on it as she then clenched her fist as flames appeared from the armor and flied to the crossbow as a flaming arrow was being created on it
"fire!" Erza exclaimed as the flaming arrow fired to the thunder palace lacrima and destroyed it in an instant
She looks to see the surrounding thunder palace lacrima getting destroyed as well
Erza sees the flaming arrow she had shot was destroying as it flied towards them
"incredible…!" Erza said in amazement to see just one arrow destroying the thunder lacrima in an instant
She then saw electricity flying around the sky as Erza quickly braced herself for the feedback from destroying the lacrima
DUUURR!
A lightning bolt came flying down towards Erza as she closed herself and awaits the pain coming
But it never came as she opened her eyes and sees Enryuo no Kiba floating above her as the sword was absorbing the lightning into it
The lightning disappeared as Enryuo no Kiba floated to Erza
Erza grabbed the sword as it glowed red to her
"thank you…" Erza said to the sword before it and the armor disappeared into the gem on the necklace Natsu gave to her
Erza smiled as the gem glowed to her before dimming
With Natsu
"OOOraaaaaa!"
Natsu shouted as he punched Laxus's fist back as they caused a shockwave to explode in the church
They were in a stale mate as both sides jumped back off each other
"is this the best you got?" Natsu asked him
Laxus glared at him before hearing the sound of explosion coming from outside as he sees all of the Thunder Palace Lacrima disappeared
"tch!" Laxus gritted his teeth as he glared hard at Natsu
"looks like Erza did it" Natsu said as he smiled
He then heard lightning and thunder ringing as he looks to see Laxus was enveloped in it as his muscle was enlarging
"I had enough….." Laxus muttered out as he raised his hand up as both of his hands were enveloped in sphere of lightning
"I'll remake it all from scratch, and only the strong will join, and my Fairy Tail will be the best on continent!" He said while his eyes were going mad with power.
""he's beyond reasoning now""Natsu thought while squinting his eyes at Laxus.
Laxus dashed towards Natsu who parried off his punches with ease as he then jumps out of the way of a flying lightning blast from him
Natsu squinted his eyes as he could sense something was in Laxus's lightning
"what are you hiding, Laxus?" Natsu crossed his arms as he looks at Laxus
"Heh...I guess it's pointless to keep it a secret any long...I'll show you something good." Laxus said while his canines suddenly got longer. His body began bulking up as well. His shirt was gone, and suddenly a magic circle appeared with a dragon on it. Natsu was surprised.
"Lightning Dragon's...ROOOAR!" A large beam of magic shot out his mouth and was heading straight for Natsu.
"what the?!" Natsu exclaimed
BOOM!
The wall to the side of the Catherdal exploded as everyone heard it
"Natsu!" Erza exclaimed as she runs to the cathedral
She then reached to the cathedral and met up with Levy, Gajeel and an injured Freed
"Laxus!" Erza exclaimed as she saw Laxus standing on top of a pile of rubble while holding Natsu's shredded vest
"took you long enough" Laxus said as he threw the shredded clothing away
"I finished up with him"
Erza's eyes widen as she saw a hand sticking out of the rubble
"no…" Erza muttered out as she stared in horror
"Natsu….loss?" Levy gasped in shock
"Laxus…." Freed looks to Laxus who was grinning like a maniac
Gajeel clicked his tongue while readying himself to fight Laxus
"time for every one you losers to disappear" Laxus said as he positions his hands together in front of him
An orb of light formed in Laxus' hands as Freed and Levy gasped in shock
"Fairy Law?!" Levy called out.
"Laxus. Please, it's not too late. just stop this. Your grandfather needs you at his side." Freed shouted at him
"Silence! I don't need anyone! I'll change this weak guild into a strong one after I've eradicated every single one of these weaklings!"
"You don't mean that!" Freed pleaded.
"LAXUS, DON'T DO IT!" Levy shouted in plea to him
Erza was staring at the hand in the rubble as a tear slides down her cheeks before falling to the floor
BINK! (THE SOUND OF WATERDROPPING TO THE FLOOR)
"Fairy Law Invo-" Laxus exclaimed as he was about to cast the spell but it stopped as the orb of light disintegrated into dust
"wha!?" everyone looks to see the spell disappearing before feeling the ground rumbling as an earthquake shook the whole town
"what is happening!?" Levy exclaimed while holding Gajeel for dear life
Erza looks to see the rubble floating as a tremendous power was being unleashed from within the land
"Natsu….."
She muttered out before a pillar of crimson flames exploded from the rubble Natsu was in as the flames melted the rocks into lava like liquid
They all then saw two glowing eyes appearing in the pillar of fire as the gem on Erza's necklace glowed
FLASH!
Enryuo no Yoroi and Enryuo no Kiba appeared as they flied into the pillar of fire
They then heard a roar coming from the pillar of flames as it disappeared in an instant
BOOM!
A shockwave flew out of the cathedral as it created a huge gust of wind
"Who was it?"
A deep dark voice spoke out as they all see someone coming from the hole in the cathedral
"who made Erza Cry?!"
Something went flying towards Laxus as he was blown away to the wall in the cathedral
Erza looks to the side and saw Natsu in his Dragon Force form as Enryuo no Kiba was in his hands as the sword transformed into a metallic dragon head in Natsu's hand
"NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO MAKE HER CRY!"
Natsu roared before dashing towards Laxus and sends an uppercut to his chin as he was sent flying to the roof
He then sprouted his wings as he flied up to the roof
"Let's go!" Levy exclaimed as they all run outside the cathedral to see the fight unfolding
On the roof
Laxus was sent skidding back on the roof as he gritted his teeth while glaring at Natsu who was slowly walking to him
(play Dragon slayer theme)
Natsu looks to Laxus as he had a very pissed face on
"you made Erza cry for me….." Natsu said as he raised the metallic dragon head up in his hand
"NO MORE MERCY!"
Natsu dashed towards Laxus as he grabbed a hold of his face before Natsu punched the metal dragon head to Laxus' gut repeatedly before slamming his face down
He then kicks Laxus away hard as the blonde man skidded while spitting out some blood
"I'll get rid of you!" Laxus shouted as he gathered lightning in his hands
"Rairyuu no Hotengeki!"
Laxus created a lightning spear as he threw it at Natsu who stood there in place
BOOM!
"Natsu!" Erza and Levy screamed out his name as they saw him just taking the attack
They then saw Natsu coming out of the smoke unscathed as he looks more pissed
"time to end you" Natsu said in a venom filled voice as Laxus glared at him hard
"BASTARD!"
Laxus dashed towards Natsu with lightning imbued fists and was about to punch Natsu who caught both of his fist without effort
"wha!? Gaaah!" Laxus was then kicked away by Natsu who positions the metallic dragon head on his arm at Laxus
"Enryuo no…"
Flames circled around Natsu before flying into the mouth of the dragon head as it created a flaming sphere that was getting larger by the second
"Hakai Hoko!"
The flaming sphere disappeared into the mouth of the dragon before a stream of crimson flames fired out of the mouth and towards Laxus
"EEErrrrrAAAAGGHHHHHH!"
Laxus was engulfed in the flames as he then falls down to the roof
"Laxus...lost." Freed slowly said as he saw Laxus out cold and defeated
Natsu's armor glowed before disappearing into red sparkles
He breath out in tired as he falls down the roof
"Natsu!" Levy screamed
Natsu falls down from the roof but thankfully Erza caught him as he was on top Erza who had her armor disappear
"Er…za" Natsu muttered out in a tired voice as he looks to her
Erza smiled as she caressed his head
"well done, Natsu. you've won" Erza said with a soft smile as she gives him a peck to his forehead
"yeah" Natsu muttered out as he was losing conscious from using too much magic on Laxus
"mind if I sleep?" Natsu asked to Erza who nodded to him
"thanks…" Natsu said as he laid down between Erza's chest as Erza caressed his head while he rests
That's a wrap!
Bye bye!
