On with the story
Erza was fighting against Ajeel on the ship as the Scarlet Knight unleashes her fury at him
"Tenrin! Circle Sword!" Erza who was clad in her heaven Wheel armor ordered her swords to attack Ajeel who parried them off as her swords were turned to sand
"that won't work on me, missy!" Ajeel taunted before he sees Erza appeared in front of him in her Black Wing Armor
"Kureha! Gehsen!" Erza slashed her sword at Ajeel who jumps away to dodge the attack
"like I said, it's not gonna work" Ajeel said as he landed on the floor of the ship
"END told me to take you and your kids to Alvarez whether you like it or not," he told the Scarlet knight
"he said that the easy way is out so we'll do it the hard way"
Erza raise her sword at Ajeel as her eyes held determined gaze upon him
"I shall never abandon my home and my family" Erza told him "even if it was Natsu, I will never follow this one demand of his!"
Erza then dashed towards Ajeel as she slashed her sword at Ajeel who caught it with his barehands
"well, he can't blame me if you got banged up a bit when I get you to Alvarez" Ajeel said as Erza's sword turned to sand
Erza jumps away and tried to requip her weapons but was surprised as her magic wasn't working
""I can't requip!?"" she thought before she was engulfed in a torrent of sand
"looks like this is going to be too easy" Ajeel said with a smirk as Erza screams in pain in the sand hurricane
Kardia Catherdal
"what the!?" Fried exclaimed as he had a shocked look on him.
"what's wrong Fried?!" Bickslow exclaimed to him.
"There's a hole in the barrier on the north side!" Fried replied back while trying to fix the hole.
"Warren!" Evergreen exclaimed to Warren to let them know.
Northside of Magnolia
A bunch of soldiers was marching their way in Magnolia while being led by Wall
The huge mechanical man smirks as he walks in the streets of Magnolia
"This is an easy win, indeed," he said as he looks to where the Kardia Catherdal is located
"I will present the evidence of Alvarez's overwhelming force!"
Fairy Tail
"Warren! Contact the closest members there and send them in!" Mavis exclaimed to him while looking at the screen as several red dots appeared on the north side of Magnolia.
"another member of the 12?!" Makarov exclaimed in shock
"I didn't foresee the enemy having an enchantment canceller!" She said while sweat was sliding down her face.
"Got it! The closest ones are!" Warren said while looking at his tablet
"Elfman! Mira! Lisanna! Gray! And Juvia!" Warren exclaimed as the said members heard him.
In the town
"get to the north side of Magnolia and intercept the enemies!" Warren's voice exclaimed to them as they nodded and then started to run towards there.
With Lucy
She was readying herself to join in on the fight as she grabs a hold of Aquarius' broken key and was about to head out but stopped as she heard splashing in her bathroom
""what was that?"" she thought as she looks to where her bathroom is at ""the bathroom?""
Lucy walks towards her bathroom and opens it
"ara, so this place still has an owner?" Brandish appeared in Lucy's hot tub as the woman was soaking in the bath
"w-who are you?!" Lucy backed away a bit as Brandish looks to her
In the guild
"Oh no!" Warren exclaimed while looking at his tablet.
"What's wrong Warren!?" Makarov exclaimed to him.
"I got another! Another one of the 12 is in the town!" Warren exclaimed as he pointed to where the location was
"but that location is!?" Yukino exclaimed before she and Cana went off
"where are you two going!?" Makarov exclaimed but they were out of earshot
"we now got three of the 12, can we hold them off!?" Jet said with fear rising in his body
"wait..what!?" Warren stuttered out as the telepath was shaking in his boots
"what's wrong, Warren?" Droy asked as he was eating a chicken wing
"a force of more than 300 ships is approaching from the north. And judging from the magic power level, I'd say three more of the 12 are with them!" he exclaimed to him as the map showed more signs of hostiles coming from the north side of Magnolia
"What?!" Makarov and Mavis gasped in shock
"and that isn't all! Another force of the same size is coming from the south and I'm reading three or more of the 12 with them! We're surrounded on three sides!?" Warren added in as he turns around to look at everyone who saw Warren was crying
"I was wrong….there's also a force coming in from the east of more than a million troops and 3 more of the 12 are with them…we're surrounded…in all directions! There's no place for us to run!"
"how did they get past Bosco!?" Warren exclaimed while looking at the map.
""no matter how I predict the outcome! My calculations are always wrong!"" Mavis said in her mind while having fear on her face.
with Ikaruga
the swordswoman readied her sword to the side while Rose and Mary stood behind her as she faces off against Marin
"and you are?" Marin asked with a raised eyebrow
"Ikaruga, Ikaruga Ryu" Ikaruga replied before she sends a wind slash at Marin who teleported away to dodge
"I believe your punishment is in order for trying to harm the two" Ikaruga said as she went into a drawing stance towards Marin who appeared beside the trees
"I now remember you, END-sama has told me to be wary of your sword skills after all" Mary said before he teleported to dodge multiple wind slashes that came flying towards him
"then I suggest that you be wary now" Ikaruga said as she swings her sword upwards as a giant wind slash that came flying at Marin who barely dodged it as the slash nicked his shirt
With Erza
She was in a torment of pain as the sand was draining her of her body fluids
"Just a few more seconds before you shrivel up and pass out, then it's off to Alvarez for you," Ajeel said as he waited for Erza to pass out "I wonder if Brandish managed to capture END's children already?"
Ajeel looks to the town as he smirks
"this continent is done for" Ajeel said "the gods have abandoned this forsaken land after all"
He laughed out loud before he sees a red glowing light appearing from within the sand
"what?" Ajeel looks at the red glow before it flashes as the sand was burned away
"the hell?!" Ajeel exclaimed as he shielded his eyes from the flames that were raging around near Erza
Erza stands in the middle of the fire with her eyes closed as the flames started to turn scarlet
"what the heck is with these flames!?" Ajeel exclaimed as the heat was rising intensely
He then heard a roar as he sees a flaming dragon behind Erza
"what the?" Ajeel took a step back as the flames coated around Erza's body
Erza opened her eyes as she wields Enryuo no Kiba in her hands
"even if gods abandoned the land, know this" Erza said as she dashed towards Ajeel and slashed her sword at him
"Guah!?" Ajeel was sent crashing back by the sheer force of the swing as he had burn marks over his hands
"Ishgar still has Fairy Tail!" Erza exclaimed as the flames gather around Enryuo no Kiba before she dashed towards Ajeel and slashed her sword at him
At Fairy Tail
"Things aren't looking good at all," Max said as he sees the coming forces
"even if we manage to survive this battle, we know that bigger forces are on their way" Warren cried out in tears
"Warren, use your telepathy! You need to transmit my orders!" Mavis ordered to him but the telepath was too much crying to hear her
"Warren!" Mavis called out to him again but he did not hear her before Max kicked him in the balls to snap him out of it
"get a grip!" Max shouted as he grabs Warren by his collar
"everybody's scared! My knees have been knocking in ever since this whole damn thing started!"
"Max…"
"BUT WE GOTTA FIGHT! THIS IS OUR HOME! WE GOTTA PROTECT OUR HOME!" Max shouted at Warren from the top of his lungs as Warren nodded before he repaid what Max did to him as the telepath shoved a broomstick right at his butt
"that tells you from kicking my junk!" Warren shouted
He then started to do what Mavis ordered him as everyone nodded
"we're counting on all of you! Save the guild! Save our home!" Warren shouted with tears still pouring down his eyes
With Lucy
She started down at Brandish who was soaking in her tub as the woman looks at her
"h-how are you here?!" Lucy said as she took a step back
Brandish looked to her before replying "get in" she said to Lucy who got confused
"huh?"
"what's with you?! First you appeared in my hot tub then you want me to join you!?" Lucy exclaimed before Brandish snapped her fingers and Lucy felt something happening
"wha!?" Lucy exclaimed as she felt the rumbling stopped
"I should warn you….never make me repeat myself" Brandish said as her eyes darkens to Lucy
"I have the ability to change anything's size as I want, just now I shrunken the house beside this one"
Lucy looks in disbelieve and true to Brandish's words, the house beside Lucy's apartment was shrunken
"get in before I shrink this whole town" Brandish said as Lucy felt fear rising in her heart
"and don't bother trying to use your Spatial Magic here, I done my homework, you use Celestial Spirit keys, right?" Brandish said as Lucy gasped in shock to her knowledge of her
"Marin, one of my subordinates is a Spatial Magic Expert, no Spatial Magic work in this town while he's here"
"so? Do you want to get in or not?" Brandish asked Lucy who looks at her before starting to unbutton her shirt and her hair ribbon
""I can't use my magic to beat her, I don't know what she's up to, but if this a challenge then so be it!""
With Ikaruga
Dozens of cut down trees, and giant slash marks filled the field as Ikaruga stands in front of Rose and Mary while Marin was standing in front of her as the man had his shirts and pants in shred
"END-sama is correct, you are to be wary of, but" Marin said before he disappeared and re-appeared behind Ikaruga and the twins
"against a Spatial Expert like me, you cannot stand a chance!" Marin exclaimed as his hands were about to grab Rose and Mary but was stopped as Ikaruga was in the middle of sheathing her sword
"as I had said" Ikaruga said as her sword clicked against its sheath and Marin shouted in pain as he was in a whirlwind of cuts "Punishment is in order"
Marin then fell down to the ground as he was out cold from her attack
"even if you to escape in the dimension of space, there is nothing in this world I cannot cut" Ikaruga said with a smile
Back with Lucy
the two women were in the bath as they face each other
"now tell me what are you doing here" Lucy demanded from Brandish who looks bored to her
"you're not cute enough" Brandish replied as she pulls out a cat hairpiece from out of nowhere "try putting this on"
"no way!" Lucy retorted before she was forced to wear the accessories
"oh my! You're so cute!" Brandish said while blushing
"what is it with this girl!?" Lucy exclaimed,
"hmmm, I feel like I know you from somewhere other than from END-sama" Brandish said as she put a finger to her chin
"from the GMG at last year's game? Fairy Tail did win it" Lucy said as Brandish shook her head
"never heard of that before" Brandish said,
"from the Weekly Sorcerer Magazine?" Lucy said as Brandish shrugs her shoulders
"we don't get your eastern magazine in Alvarez at all" Brandish said as she started pondering in her mind to try to remember
"hmm, it's not coming back to me" Brandish said
"wait…did you just come here to confirm your suspicions? Lucy asked as Brandish nodded "of course" she said in reply
"we're trying to have a serious conversation, yet you are wearing that, take it off" Brandish said as Lucy bit her lower lip in frustration
"then will you tell me now why are you here?" Lucy asked again as Brandish got out of the bath
"wash my back" she ordered Lucy as she started to wash Brandish's back
"as you may know, Emperor Spriggan wants Fairy Heart but END-sama wanted us to capture the one named Erza" Brandish told Lucy
""Erza!?"" Lucy thought in surprise
"oh and also two kids named Rose and Mary, was it?" Brandish pondered as she guesses the name of Erza's daughters
"why?" Lucy asked Brandish who shrug her shoulders
"don't know" Brandish said to her "by the way, what's your name?"
"Lucy" Lucy replied as she scrubs some soap on Brandish's back "why am I even doing this in the first place?"
"hmmm" Brandish hummed without knowing that Lucy was still holding Aquarius' broken key in her hands
""this is my chance! I'll attack her while her guard is down!"" Lucy raised her hand as she pointed Aquarius broken key at the base of Brandish' neck
""I'm going to take out one of the 12!""
Lucy was about to strike at Brandish who suddenly spoke
"Layla's daughter?" she said as Lucy stopped her attempt
"you knew my mother?" Lucy asked as Brandish slowly turned her head towards Lucy
"so you are" Brandish's face was dark as the woman glares at Lucy "Layla's daughter"
All of a sudden the whole room started rumbling and the walls and everything started to shrink
""the room is shrinking!?"" Lucy thought as she got up and started running out of her room
""this is bad!" Lucy ran out as the door to her room got shrunk and she fell down the stairs and out of her apartment
"I never thought I'd stumble upon you here" Brandish said as she appeared in front of Lucy, all dressed up
"what did my mother ever do to you!?" Lucy exclaimed but Brandish didn't answer
"It's too much of a pain to explain" Brandish replied before she jumped away as cards came flying at her
"cards!?" Lucy said before she smiled as Cana and Yukino came in
"are you alright, Lucy-sama?" Yukino asked before the two realized what Lucy is wearing
"that's some outfit you got there.. you into some kinky stuff, aren't you?" Cana asked with a teasing smirk
"is this a trend?" Yukino asked with a blush
"no! this is!" Lucy tried to retort but they then face against Brandish who looks at the three
"be careful, she's one of the 12!" Lucy exclaimed as they got ready
"let's be cautious of her movement" Yukino said as she summoned Libra to her side
""Yukino can use her keys!"" Lucy thought before she took out one of her gold keys
"then that means!" Lucy said as she equipped her Star dress: Aries form
"this reminds me of our tag-team back at Tenrou!" Cana said with a grin "although we got Yukino now"
In the town
Gray swiped his hands to the side as he sends ice lances at some soldiers.
"haaa!" Juvia uses her water slicer to attack a nearby soldier and did to another who was close.
Juvia and Gray then back to back each other while facing their enemies.
"you ok?" Gray said to Juvia as he freezes soldier heading their way
"yes!" Juvia replied as she made a small tidal wave to wash away the soldiers
The two continued to fight on before they spotted more soldiers coming into view
"Gray-sama! Above!" Juvia exclaimed as she and Gray jump away from two soldiers who look like robotic soldiers stomp down at where they were standing before.
"more of them?!" Gray exclaimed while facing off one robotic soldier that was near him.
"tch! Aisu Make!" Gray then readied his pose only to be shocked as the robotic soldier ignited its fist in flames and attacked him.
"Fire?!" Gray exclaimed as he had slight burn marks on his hands from defending against the attack.
"Gray-sama!" Juvia exclaimed as she saw the other one was about to attack her.
"Juvia is water, physical won't work on Juvia" she turned her body into water as the soldier attack went through her.
Juvia smiled but it quickly disappeared and was replaced with shock when steam came out of the attack and damaged her.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Juvia screams in pain as she fell down and holds her waist that was steaming.
"Gray! Juvia!" Lisanna exclaimed while flying towards them.
In front of her appeared another robotic soldier as it punches Lisanna's back with its hammered gestured hands.
"Kyaaaa!" she fell down and skidded as she countered attack using her cat soul.
"Nyaaaaaaaaa!" Lisanna swipes her claws at the soldier who stood there as her attacks did no damage whatsoever.
"What!?" she then jumped away from an incoming fist.
"This guy's body is too hard!"
"Lisanna move!" Elfman exclaimed as he had pulled back his fist.
"ORAAAA!" Elfman punched the soldier as it was sent skidded back a bit.
"how's that?!" he then readied another punch only to change into defense as another solider appeared and the disappeared in front of him as it kicks Elfman's back.
"Guaaah!"
"Elfman/-nichan/-san!" Gray and the others exclaimed while backing off from the robotic soldiers.
"these guys..!?" Elfman looks at the four soldiers as he stands back up from his fall. "are they tailored to our weakness!?"
"wait a minute..!" Gray then realized something as he turns around.
"Mira doesn't have a weakness!" he said before his face went into shock as Mira was in shock as well
"please! No!" Mira exclaimed before she got attacked by a robot soldier who had Elfman's face
"what the hell?!" Elfman shouted to see the one attacking his sister had his face
"hehehe, these are my Weakness Soldiers, you fool stand no chance of winning" Wall said as the Weakness Soldier went onto the attack against Gray and the others
"now then" Wall said as he turns around "I must go and dispatch this loathsome enchantment user of yours"
Wall then rocketed away as he flew towards where the Kardia Catherdal is located
"damnit!" Gray cursed as he blocked a flaming punch from a weakness soldier
"Fried-san and the others are in trouble!" Juvia exclaimed
With Erza
The Scarlet woman slashed her sword at Ajeel in a relentless strike as he got sent crashing back to the sky
"tch! What the hell! She got a strong power up all of the sudden" Ajeel said as he landed on the ship's mast
Ajeel summoned a sand storm that went flying towards Erza who swings Enryuo no Kiba at the sandstorm that was burned away
"she burned my sand!?" Ajeel exclaimed as veins started to appear on his forehead
"how dare you! How dare you make the Great Ajeel angry!" Ajeel shouted as he created an even stronger sandstorm
"it's futile," Erza said as she swings her sword as the sand got burned away again "sand has too many weakness"
"how about a big one?" Ajeel asked before the whole Magnolia got encased in a giant sandstorm
"the whole town?!" Erza exclaimed in shock
At Fairy Tail
"What is this!?" Makarov exclaimed as the sand was blowing in the guild
"shut every door and windows in the guild!" Mavis ordered out to everyone as they dashed to the door and windows as the sand was getting more denser
With Lucy
The sandstorm was blowing everywhere as they can't see anything
"what's going on!?" Lucy exclaimed while Cana coughed out
"was there a forecast for a sandstorm?!" Yukino asked as she shielded her eyes
"Ajeel…" Brandish shielded her eyes as the sand was getting into her eyes "you're such a pain"
With Bisca
"just when Jupiter finished charging, this happens… how am I supposed to aim like this?!" Bisca said as she can's see a thing in the sandstorm
"the sands are getting in my eyes!" Asuka whined as she rubs her eyes
"close your eyes tight! You'll be alright!" Alzack told his daughter
With Ikaruga
The sand filled the air and the entire town but not the forest
"there's sand everywhere" Rose said as the sand was flying everywhere
"Mama is in trouble! We gotta help!" Mary said as she started running towards the town but was stopped by Ikaruga
"there is no need to worry, Erza-han can win this" Ikaruga said with a smile
With Erza
The entire area was filled with sand as Ajeel let out a relentless barrage of sand blasts at her
"this is the Sand world!" Ajeel's voice exclaimed out as the man appeared behind Erza "in this world I am god!"
"Raml Saif!"
Ajeel spins his hands as a torrent of sand went flying at Erza who got sne flying back
"Gaah!" she grunted in pain as the sand blasts managed to bruise her
Her neck was then grabbed and she was pulled up by Ajeel as the man had an annoyed look on him
"END told me to not hurt you too much but if there a bit bruises here and there, I don't think he would mind" Ajeel said as a sand axe appeared in his hand
"if you beg for mercy now, I'll let you off with just one bruise"
Ajeel smirked before he sees Erza's hands grabbed his hand
"never…" she muttered out as Erza looks at Ajeel
"I will never…..lose!" Erza exclaimed as she burst into flames
"what the hell?!" Ajeel let go of Erza as the flames grew brighter
"for my family! For my home!"
With Bisca
She saw the light coming from the distance as she thought that it was from one of the enemies ship
"that light!" Bisca then takes aim with Jupiter as the cannon was aimed at where the light is coming from
"must be from Erza-san!" Bisca pulled the trigger as Jupiter fired towards the light
With Erza
Erza jumps away as the Jupter Magic blast went straight at Ajeel as the man was sent flying away
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Erza smiles as so did Bisca before the Scarlet Knight dashed towards Ajeel who was flying
"Nakagami!" Erza requipped into her Nakagami no Yoroi as she readied her halberd at her side
"Seisai!"
Erza swings her halberd at Ajeel as the whole ship was destroyed by the sheer force
The sand storm then faded as it disappears
Wendy and the others smiled to Erza as she had won against a member of the twelve
"she won!" Wendy said before she gasped in shock as she sees Erza falling down the sky
"Erza-san!" Wendy and Charla flied towards her as they tried to capture her
Erza fell down the sky before a red flash appeared and Enryuo no Yoroi appeared and caught her
The armor then landed down to the ground as it gently laid Erza on the ground
"Erza-san!" Wendy landed to the ground as she and Charla runs towards the Scarlet Knight
Enryuo no Yoroi glowed before the armor disappeared into Erza's necklace
Wendy kneeled beside her as she sees that Erza was AOK
She then sees Erza's body glowing red as her wounds were slowly healing themselves
"Wendy" Erza called out to the little girl as she leans her fist to her
Wendy was confused about what the gesture was before she realized and smiled
In the town
The sandstorm disappeared as Lucy and the others can see again
"The sandstorm is gone," Lucy said as the sand was slowly disappearing
"did Erza-san win her battle?" Yukino asked
"you know it!" Cana said with a smirk before they heard sneezing coming from Brandish
"what is it with this town!? Achoo! There so many achoo! Pollen here!" Brandish said while sneezing
"allergies, perhaps?" Yukino said as Lucy nodded before they see Brandish getting knocked out by Cana
"How cruel" Lucy and Yukino said simultaneously
"but she was open," Cana said to them
At Kardia Catherdal
Fried and the others were in an immense standoff as Wall Eehto's puppets have busted into the Church and Bickslow and Ever were having a hard time dealing with the Weakness Soldiers.
"This is getting us nowhere!" Bickslow exclaimed while grunting on the ground with Ever in the same state as well.
"use your second magic!" Fried told his friends as Bickslow opened his helmet while Ever lifts up her glasses
To their shock, their second magic wasn't working against the weakness soldiers
"then go for the guy whose controlling them!" Fried told them as Ever locked eyes with Wall
"this will end you! Stone Eyes!" Ever used her magic against Wall who simply smirked at her attempt
"it's not working at all?!" Ever exclaimed before she got slammed to the ground by the weakness soldiers
"that's because I'm not human" Wall explained as he opened up his shirt and revealed a machine-like core in his chest
Wall's body then started to transform as the man turns into a robotic like warrior
"I am a Machias! I am not human!" Wall said in his new form as Fried and the others were shocked to see him like that
"a machine that uses Magic!?" Fried exclaimed before thunder strikes down the weakness Soldiers and Wall
"Lightning?" Fried said as a figure appeared from the front gate of the catherdal
"ho?" a voice spoke as The Raijinshuu smiled in joy
"BIRI BIRI MAN!" Ichiya appeared as the short man did his pose
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" Fried and the others exclaimed in disgust and surprise
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
