On with story
Lily looks in shock to Jellal's revelation as the man has to become the villain of Edolas
"you will have to go out among the panicking people…and administer my punishment" Jellal said to Lily "as both the leader of the royal forces and as an Exceed"
"show the people the way out of this panic….and become the king of this world…a world without magic"
Lily stares at Jellal before he scrunched his face
"do you seriously believe in that drivel, Prince?!" Lily shouted out to the man
"I wouldn't have done what I did unless I was prepared for the consequences" Jellal replied
"I refuse! It's utter idiocy! Draguma-sama is the one who is fit to be the king! He has once led this kingdom to its golden age! Why must you be the villain?!" Lily exclaimed
"he can't! only you can!" Jellal said to him
"what makes you think you know me at all!" Lily exclaimed
"you are an Exceed and you saved me as a child..you recognize life's inherent nobility without being swayed by race"
"so I'm going to have to pick up the cross and bear it?! Is that what you are saying?!" Lily shouted out to the man
"you're the only one who has the strength to rise above past sins" Jellal said as he clenched his fists "please understand! This world needs you to be the new king!"
"then you do it yourself! You are the rightful king by birth!" Lily shouted out
"I put this world on the path of destruction" Jellal spoke to him
"with its best interest in mind!" Lily grabbed Jellal's shoulder and yanked him "what we need right now is the one who is willing to put his own life on the line for Edolas! Your brother is the one who taught me that!"
"if you are the one who destroyed it! You must be the one to set it right! And that doesn't mean dying! It means leading the world down to its right path!"
Lily huffs his breathing as he had run out of breath
"that wouldn't stop the chaos" Jellal said
"I'll become your villain" Lily said as he clenched his fists hard
Extallia crumbles down as the homeland of the Exceeds fell
"Extalia!" Marl exclaimed as their home was gone
"our house…" Lucky gritted his teeth as he clenched his fists in anger "damnit! Our home! Our home of our family! Damnit all!"
"I was banished from Extalia and I have walked with the humans" Lily said "but this time I betrayed the kingdom so I have no place left"
"never!" Jellal shouted as he knew Lily wanted to sacrifice himself for the world
"you saved my life! I will not allow you to die! You must live, Lily!" Jellal shouted out
"I would say the same words to you, your majesty" Lily said as Jellal looks in shock "to force someone to take responsibility…will only lead to unhappiness"
"then how can we calm the panic outside?!" Jellal said before a soldier came running in
"Panther Lily-sama! Trouble!" the soldier exclaimed
"I know. If this is about Anima, then as you can see" Lily said
"trying to stop it, right?" the soldier asked
"no.." Lily said but the soldier cuts him off
"more importantly, people are rampaging through the town! They're tearing apart one section at a time!" the soldier reported to them
"the chaos outside must be worse than I have expected" Jellal said "we have to do something quick"
"we must handle the chaos outside first" Lily said
"true, but we have to do something to stop it from spreading any further" Jellal said as he and Lily walks out of the Anima chamber
The town was in utter chaos as everything was getting destroyed
"how many are rioting?" Lily asked as buildings after buildings were getting destroyed
"just one!" the soldier reported
"only one!? Why didn't you handle it?!" Lily exclaimed
"he-he's too strong!" The soldier exclaimed as Jellal and Lily looks in shock as it was Natsu who was rioting in the town
"fear me citizens of Edolas! I am the demon king, Dragov!" Natsu shouted out as he laughs evilly "i will claim all of the magic in this world!"
"wha?!" "Natsu!?"
The citizens were in a big panic as they were all screaming and running around everywhere
"fear me for I have taken down your king! All of your lives are doomed!" Natsu laughed out
"your majesty!" "no!" "the king!" "why would you do this?!"
"destroy! Destroy it all!"
Enryuo no Yoroi and Reiter no Yoroi appeared as both armors went and destroyed everything
They both destroyed many buildings with one slash of their weapons as all the buildings crumbles down
"man. That guy is taking it too far" Gajeel said in an alleyway with Wendy as both just watched Natsu rioting like a mad man
"well, Natsu-san likes to act after all" Wendy said with a sweatdrop
"fear me! I will destroy this world!" Natsu shouted as he fired his roar and destroyed several buildings in one blow
"he breathes fire from his mouth!" "he's a monster!"
"Natsu! Stop! What are you doing!?" Jellal shouted out to Natsu who heard him
"huh? I am Dragov, the Demon King Dragov" Natsu said as he smirks evilly "you dare defy me, First borne Prince of Edolas?"
"the first prince?" "the prince who disappeared?" "he's back?"
"why is he doing this?" Lily asked when Draguma came into view
"because I told him to" Draguma said as he watched the show
"I will destroy it all! Come and stop me if you dare!" Natsu shouted as he summons both of his armors to his sides
Jellal gritted his teeth before he jumps down and run towards Natsu
"stay where you are, Natsu!" Jellal shouted
"I am Demon King Dragov! I will slaughter you all!" Natsu shouted out with flames raging behind him
Lily looks to the scene as this was all an act
"maybe he's putting on an act to make the prince look like hero, but the moment they realized its fake, that'll create damage nobody can fix…nobody is going to commit suicide, right?""
Jellal ran towards Natsu as he wields his staff
"the first Prince?" "him?" "is he going to fight the demon king?" "he's up against a monster!"
"stop! Natsu!" Jellal shouted out as he swings his staff forward "Sleep!"
Jellal tried to cast his magic staff but its magic was drained away by the Anima
"the magic….was sucked into the anima"
"hahahaha! No magic!? Too bad~!" Natsu shouted out as he slammed his fist and destroyed the building, he was on in a big explosion
"kyaaa!" "such destructive power!" "is this magic!?"
The citizens ran scared as the building was destroyed
"stop!" Jellal shouted "stop this right now! I'll never be thehero the people need! And if you pretend to get defeated, nobody will buy it!"
Natsu merely smirks as he sends an uppercut on Jellal's chin "fight me!"
"prince! "that monster is berserk!"
"this is a farce!" Jellal shouted "if you think this will bring the people together.."
Jellal pulled back his fist as he punched his fist straight at Natsu who caught it "it isn't going to work!"
"Fairy Tail's farewell Rules" Natsu muttered out as he punched Jellal's face making the man stagger back a bit before going back to punch Natsu's face but the Fire Dragon Slayer punches Jellal's abdomen hard
"you can't pass along any info that hurts Fairy Tail for your entire life" Natsu told Jellal who punched Natsu's face
"two, one must never contact former Fairy Tail clients without permission to make a profit for oneself!" Jellal said as he followed Natsu
"the last one!" Natsu said as he pulled back his fist and so did Jellal "even when you screw up….you gotta live your life with all the strength you got all the time!"
"you can't think of live as something small or anything..and you must never forget the friends you love" Mystogan said
The two then did a cross counter to each other's face as Natsu fell from the punch but Jellal did not
"this is farewell….Mystogan" Natsu said as he fell to the ground "as long as you have the guild's spirit, there is nothing you can't do"
"yeah" Jellal said with a small smile "thank you….Natsu"
"hope we can meet again someday, Mystogan" Natsu said to the man with a big smile
The crowd then cheered for Jellal's win against Natsu as they called out to him
Natsu's body started to glow and so did the others as well as the Exceeds
"your body, it's…." Jellal said
"guess it's time, huh?" Natsu said as his body keeps glowing
"what is happening!?" "the Demon King's body is glowing!"
"what is this?" Lily said
"Anima's function was to suck away magic but in reverse all magic in this world is getting sent to Earthland. Meaning any being that has magic within them in the first place will be send to Earthland" Draguma said as he smiled to Lily "guess this is goodbye, Lily"
"Draguma-sama….." Lily muttered out
"what's going on!?" Lucy exclaimed
"we're glowing!" Happy exclaimed
"the anima is sucking us back!" Charla said while trying to hold on
Erza and Knightwalker were at the remains of their battle before Erza suddenly glowed
"Scarlet!" Knightwalker looks at Erza as she was floating in mid air
"take care…" Erza said with a soft smile as Knightwalker looks to her before nodding and smiling back
"Erza" both said to each other
Every single Exceed was getting sucked away into the Anima as they all were getting transported to Earthland
Natsu floated up with the others as the man looks down on the city of Edolas and its citizens
"the demon king is being blown away!" "the prince saved us all!" "long live the prince!"
The citizens cheered for Jellal as everyone was celebrating his victory
Jellal looks up and saw Lily floating up into the anima
"your highness….there's no need to adapt so quickly….you can take your time…even at a walking pace, people can take that first step forward…as they tread down the road to their future" Lily smiled to Jellal as the man nodded
"yes" Jellal said with a smile
"goodbye everyone! Goodbye Edolas Fairy Tail!" Lucy waves her hand as in goodbye to Edo Lucy and her friends as it was time to leave the other world
"goobey, your highness"
Jellal smiled softly before turning his attention to his people
"I have defeated the Demon King Dragov! Without magic we humans can live on!" he shouted out as everyone cheered for him
That was the end of Edolas' magic era, now they will tread to a new era without magic
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
