On with the story
Alvarez
"a message to surrender Fairy Heart was sent to Fairy Tail but they refused and a proposal letter was sent to Erza Scarlet and her family from Master END but they also refused" Franmalth spoke with a disapproving face "this is why humans are too ignorant for their own good"
"Alvarez forces outnumber the continent of Ishgal by a million to a thousand, I wonder how much?! How much lives will be lost in that war?!" Franmalth said with a grin before he was waked around like a toy by Sylph, the demon child born from Kyoka and END
"I am a proud former member of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros," Franmalth asked with tears falling down his eyes "yet why am I still the size of a mushroom?"
Sylph grabs Franmalth and started chewing on his mushroom head
"please don't eat me, Sylph-Sama! And someone help me!" Franmalth screams in pain as the child was trying to eat him
But his plead for help was unheard by the occupants of the room as END was in converse with his brother and niece
END who was sitting on a chair with Irina on his lap as the child was playing around with her doll while END converse with Zeref and August
"I see" END said as he petted his child's head gently while hearing what Erza's and the rest's reply to our offering for surrender from August
"oh well, I should've expected that from her and the rest"
END hears his daughter babbling to him as he chuckles before giving a peck to her forehead
"After hearing this, will you join the festival?" Zeref asked his brother while seated on a chair opposite of him with Invel standing beside him
"why not?" END replied with a shrug as he smirks "a festival is always fun to be in"
END carries up Irina and passes her to Irene who took the child into her arms and gives her a kiss to her forehead
"I've been itching for a fight after all" END said with an evil grin
"The time for us to decide in this war," Zeref said with a smile "who gets to survive and who does not"
"This will no longer be a war at all…" END said to his brother
"this will be a total annihilation" Zeref finished his brother's sentence with an equal dark smirk
END chuckles as he looks at his brother "and they say I'm the demon, yet you show characteristics to be one"
"oh wait, Spriggan is the name of a grotesque Fairy, was it?" END chuckles as a thunderstorm suddenly came out of nowhere in the kingdom

Fairy Tail
Three days later
Everyone was preparing for the coming war as they prepped themselves for the fight to protect their home
"may I have everyone's attention" Makarov boom out as he went up to the stage as everyone looks to him
"I'm sorry that this war came, I wanted nothing of this to come to our home," he said as he clenched his fist to his staff
"Alvarez is an enormous nation with a tremendous and powerful military force, if any of you don't want to fight, I understand" Makarov looks to his children as he can tell that some have fear in their hearts to this coming war
"We don't want to!" Rose shouted out as everyone looks to the child and her twin sister
"We want to stay here! Fairy Tail is Mom's home and everyone's home! We want to protect our home!" Mary agreed in with her twin
Everyone looks to them as they smile to them
"yeah, the twins are right," Laxus said as he patted their heads "we all want to protect our home, gramps"
"don't worry, Master," Mira said with a smile
"We all here for this" Elfman said with a grin
"All of us are in this war, whether we like it or not," Lisanna said with a big smile
"we're all prepared for this fight! And we will win!" Laxus boomed out with a smirk as the Raijinshuu agreed to his words
Everyone started to voice out their shouts of agreements to Makarov as he felt so touched that his children are with him the whole way
"thank you," Makarov said with a smile to his children who smiled back
"and also," Laxus said as he rubs the twins head "we owe this two an apology"
"don't wanna" "yeah," Rose and Mary said as they look at Laxus
"We know that everyone was just uncomfortable, we don't care if you don't like us but we want to help protect our home and family!" the twins exclaimed as everyone nodded with smiles on their faces
"couldn't say it better than me," Laxus said as he caressed their heads
Makarov nodded before he lifted his staff as a giant glow of light appeared on the tip of the staff
"They think that they can threaten our family?! And our home!? Well, we'll make them regret it! It's time to show the world what Fairy Tail is made off!"
Everyone roared in agreement as they nodded to each other
"but before that, I need to confess to you all something" Makarov said before Mest came to the stage and stand beside Makarov
"I'll take it from here, Master," Mest said as Makarov nodded
"what I'm going to tell you all is something I have been doing for the past months or rather in my years as Doranbolt" Mest explained to them
He then started to explain how he went undercover and infiltrated the council as to obtain information from Alvarez and on how he has been keeping a tab on Alvarez's movement for the past year
"I wanted to disband the guild and try to go to Alvarez to try and negotiate with the bordering nation, but…" Makarov spoke out as he had a frown appearing on his forehead when he remembers END's warning to him, a year back "it was proved futile by him"
"so what?" Gray voice out as everyone looks to him
"Gray-sama?" Juvia said as she looked at the Ice wizard
"even if you did disband the guild, we'll just get everyone back and rebuild the guild again like we always do," Gray told the old man "isn't that what family all about?" Gray gives Makarov an honest smile as even if he was cold to everyone else, somewhere inside his heart, still lies that same Gray
Everyone nodded in agreement as they never wanted to be separated from each other
Makarov looks to them and then nodded as he felt proud to have everyone as a family
"yeah," he muttered out while wiping away a tear near his eyes
"now that the emotional stuff is over.." Mest said as he gathered everyone's attention
"I'm going to tell you all the top 12 big guns who we are going to fight in this war," Mest told them as everyone listens to him describing each and every member of the Spriggan 12 from Ajeel to Invel
"and the last three" Mest said as everyone listens to him
"Irene Belserion, known as the Scarlet Despair of Alvarez, they say that she can level a whole kingdom down in just one night and leave nothing of a trace in the place at all, I have no info on what type of magic she uses"
Everyone gulps down their saliva as to hear such a fearsome enemy
"next one is an old man who goes by the name of August, in Alvarez on the 8th month of the year, they say that year is the year when they all have to fear of him, this one is by far one of the strongest ones in the 12," Mest said with a sweat drop sliding down his cheeks
"From what I manage to gather, they say that this guy can use all magic known in the world and they say that his power rivals that of Zeref's"
"and the last one," Mest said as Gray clenches his fist tightly "the most powerful demon from the Books of Zeref, END. Etherious Natsu Dragov,"
"in my time of gathering information, the guy is in the castle of the kingdom and never left his room at all, from what I can tell, I just know one thing"
Everyone listens to him as they can tell that Mest had fear in his heart
"I heard that children born with his blood in their veins are in the kingdom, they call them the Children of END, offspring of the true demon"
"END!" Gray said with venom in his voice as cold air started to come out of his hands
"and I have one last thing to say," Makarov said "It concerns Fairy Tail's dark secret, Lumen Histoire"
"I believe this is where I come in, Sixth Master. Or rather" a voice spoke as everyone sees Mavis stepping in "eighth Master"
"first master?!" everyone exclaimed in surprise
"everyone…" Mavis spoke out "Fairy Heart has been sequestered as our guild's most closely guarded secret. it is something that the rest of the world should never know of"
"However, there are two things I feel you must know, firstly, why Zeref wants it so badly, and secondly, of my wrongdoing"
"First Master…" Makarov called out to Mavis who shook her head
"no, it's for the best….the time has come for me to tell everything," Mavis told him
"This is the story of a cursed boy and a cursed girl, and their tale of the singular magic they sought"
Mavis then started the tale of how Fairy Tail came to be, how her life was cursed of eternal life, how she stole innocent lives without wanting it to happen, and how she went into a coma after confessing her love to Zeref
"that's how it came to be, the perpetual magic, Fairy Heart" Mavis finished her tale
"limitless supply of magic?" Lucy said
"it's eternal, limitless, a source of magic that will never run dry" Mavis explained
"and that's why Alvarez wants to invade, huh?" Laxus said while crossing his arms
"and I nearly tried to use that magic to stop Face, but I never realized what would've happened if that limitless amount of magic went out of control, I was a fool to think that such magic could be controlled," Makarov said with a solemn look
"don't worry, you tried to do what you think was right," Mavis told him as she then looks to everyone
"We don't care about this war! We want to protect our first master! This is a fight we won't let them win!" everyone shouted out as they agreed to each other
Mavis looks to everyone as she smiled to them with tears
"your guild has grown to such a beautiful guild, First Master" Makarov said with a smile as she nodded to him
"everyone" Mavis called them out while wiping her tears away "we must defeat Alvarez, we must protect the world!"
"Still, even if we did manage to deal with Alvarez's military forces, how are we going to deal with Zeref? Or Na- I mean END?" Bickslow asked
"Zeref can't die or age and the traitor is a goddamn demon who has immense strength right?" Laxus asked
everyone started to voice out their doubt of how they will win but it was stopped by Gray
"leave that to me." Gray said "I'll be the one to take them down, for good"
Mavis looks at Gray as she can tell that his ice magic power has increased over time
"no, Gray" a voice spoke from the front door as everyone turns around and sees Erza coming into view with Milo beside her
"Erza?" Mira said
"Milo too" Elfman added in
"I'll be the one to handle him," Erza said as she walks towards everyone
"how are you going to do that?" Gray asked her as Erza stands in front of everyone "you can't use magic, remember?"
Erza lifts up her right hand as she showed everyone the dragon brand tattoo on it
"all I need is this power…the power of the Fire Dragon King that was bestowed upon me by Igneel, Natsu's father" she explained to everyone as they can sense a very powerful amount of magic coming from the brand
"this power can only be used one time and one time only, once used, it will be gone forever"
Erza then turns to Gray "let me handle Natsu first, Gray. if I fail, you can be the one to end him. So please, let me do it first"
Gray looks to Erza before sighing as he nodded
Erza nodded in gratitude before turning her attention towards Mavis
"First Master, I suggest that we prepare a plan for this coming war" Erza suggested to her as Mavis nodded and started to tell everyone her plan for the coming war
In a faraway land
In a dark cave, a lone figure sat in it as silence filled the air
"my forearm throbs…." A voice spoke as it belonged to Acnologia in his human form "the left forearm the fire dragon king consumed…"
"The Real Dragon King's festival is about to begin," he said as he stands up
"I will devour everything and I will destroy everything"
He was then enveloped in a bright light as Acnologia transforms into a dragon as he roared in the cave
"we will settle this once and for all, E.N.D! none will stand in my way, for I am Acnologia! I am the Dragon King! I reign Supreme!
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
