"Damn this thing." Simon said. He's been trying his best to do something, but the pillar of light was impenetrable. None of his attacks could break through or stop it. "Time's running out. There's got to be something."

"That won't do any good, Simon." Simon was surprised to hear that voice. He turned around and saw Nashi was back on her feet. "Attacking that thing is pointless. The only thing that can stop it is if we bring down Sapphron."

"Nashi... You're... I knew you were alive, but... What happened?" Simon questioned as she walked over to him.

"I'll explain later." Nashi said as she entered her etherious form again. "What matters is that stopping Sapphron is the only way to stop the spell." She looked up to the sky and was more determined than ever. With her head a lot more clear, she knew what to do. "A bit of advice before I go, Simon. Take it from a girl who had her heart and head twisted around lately. Stop messing around and just tell Sasha you like her. If even Ankhselam got someone, you can too."

"What?!" Simon said as he didn't know what to say. He didn't get the chance as Nashi just flew off. She's got one last chance to beat Sapphron and she's not going to blow it.

...

Crocus

The spell was still in affect. People were dropping like dominos as they could feel the life being drained out of them. Fairy Tail is doing their best to help them all, but it's not looking good.

"Come on! Come on!" Gajeel said as he tried helping as many people as he could. "Head for the center of the city!" Fairy Tail was doing its best, but there was only so much even they could do. Gajeel continued his best to help everyone, but he heard something drop down. He turned around and saw that it was Levy on her knees. "Levy! Are you okay?!"

"Yeah... I'm just starting to feel tired." Levy said, but Gajeel was smart enough to know it was the spell. It's getting stronger with some tougher people in magic power being affected by it. If something isn't done soon, everyone in Fiore will soon die. Just as their problems were increasing, Gajeel and Levy felt the ground shake. "What was that?"

"Something bad." Gajeel said.

...

Sapphron

Gale and Nova followed Sapphron and attempted to stop him. However, he was two powerful for the both of them. He had them beaten to the ground and it looks like they couldn't go on much longer. At the same time, Sapphron barely got a scratch on him.

"I'm disappointed. With you two being dragon slayers, I expected more of a fight." Sapphron said.

"We're not beaten yet." Gale said as he tried to get back up.

"We won't quit." Nova said. They still refused to surrender, but what more can they really do? Just when it seemed like they lost, one last hope crashed into the ground. All of them looked and were surprised to see Nashi was back and still standing.

"You?!" Sapphron said as he couldn't believe it. He thought for sure that he finished her.

"Some friends you are." Nashi said as she walked closer. "I allowed myself to get killed because I believed you would be able to take him, but now look at you." The two of them were just amazed that Nashi came back that they didn't even retort to that.

"It is rather impressive that you could get back up after what happened, but it's all over." Sapphron said. "Watch as we grow closer to the finale." Right when he said that is when they all felt the ground began to shake.

"What is that?" Nova said as none of them liked how this was looking. Their problem got worse when they saw something emerge out of the ground. It looked like the skeletons of dragons digging their way out of the ground with magic power encased in it.

"What the hell is that?!" Gale said.

"Those must be the skeletal remains of the dragons underneath the city, the ones we were told about." Nova said.

"They're coming closer and closer. It won't be long now." Sapphron said. "The souls are brought back, the bodies are being rebuilt, and the humans sacrifice across all of Fiore is what's making it all possible. The dragons will be among us again!"

"Not if I stop you before that happens." Nashi said. Thanks to Ankhselam, she knew who she had to call and how to call on her to help her. 'I can do this. I know Amata is there. If I focus to try and find the link between us, remember the feelings I had when it happened the first time, I can do this.' Nashi looked deep inside herself, remembered all the feelings she had when Amata first came around. Focusing spiritually and mentally, she soon began to see it. "Come, Amata!" Nashi called for her as magic erupted out of her body and into the sky. It worked as Amata came down and emerged in the air.

"There it is!" Sapphron said as he and Nashi's friends were amazed that she could that.

"I was waiting for your call." Amata said.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Nashi said as she flew up to her. Sapphron still wasn't intimidated as he flew up their level.

"You summoned a dragon to fight a dragon slayer? Not very smart." Sapphron claimed, but Nashi wasn't worried about that.

"Nova! Gale! I'll take care of this guy! You better get down to Crocus and help everyone against the walking dead dragons!" Nashi called. They snapped out of their astonishment and saw that she was right. Trusting Nashi with this, the two of them got moving closer to Crocus. This will be the final fight between the two dragon slayers. Nova and Gale hurried to Crocus and could see the real trouble that was coming.

"We're going to need some help." Nova said.

"Well, if Nashi can do it, we can do it." Gale said with Nova agreeing. They both looked inside themselves and found what Nashi had.

"Come, Raijina!" Nova called.

"Come, Metmara!" Gale called. They both called on their own dragons with them arriving.

"How can we help?" Raijina asked.

"Do we get to smash some stuff?" Metmara questioned.

"Oh yeah." Gale said as they both climbed on their dragons and hurried to Crocus. With them out of the way, Nashi could focus on bringing Sapphron down for good.

"It's too late for you to do anything." Sapphron said.

"It's never too late as long as we can fight! All I have to do is beat you and this insanity ends! Let's go, Amata!" Nashi said.

"Right!" Amata agreed as the two of them hurried in and attacked. Nashi tried striking him first, but Sapphron moved out of the way. Amata tried getting him between her teeth, but he kicked her in the face and pushed her back.

"Can't you see that it's pointless? You don't have my power, my experience." Sapphron said.

"That's never stopped us before!" Nashi claimed. She flew at him again and gave her self a boost as fire shot from feet. She smashed into him and was pushing him back. She kept the attacks going as he hit him right across the face and raised her leg over him. "Fire Dragon Talon!" She smashed her foot down in a blaze of fire with Sapphron being knocked down. Sapphron crashed into the ground and didn't get the chance to recover. Amata had fire form around her claw and smashed it against him. She tried putting the force down on him, but Sapphron resisted as he pushed it back.

"I will not be defeated! Not until I see my goals have been achieved!" Sapphron said.

"Sorry, but it's not happening!" Nashi called as she flew in that small space and hit Sapphron across the face with him being knocked back. With so much on the line, both sides aren't going to be holding anything back anymore.

...

Sasha

As for Sasha, she was moving as fast as she could to Crocus. Since Sharell just disappeared, all she can do now is hurry there and help her friends.

"I hope not too late." Sasha said as she tried moving as fast as she could, but getting there just by running isn't doing any good. Luckily, she saw a stream of light in the sky and saw it heading towards her. It flew by and lifted her off the ground. "Simon?!"

"Missed me?" Simon said.

"Cute. What about the spell?" Sasha said. "You're suppose to be trying to find some way to stop it."

"Pointless. Nashi says the only way to really stop it is to bring down Sapphron." Simon said.

"Nashi?! She really is alive?!" Sasha said with surprise. "Good because I'm going to kill her for scaring us."

"Later. We need to get to Crocus fast." Simon said.

"What about Sapphron?" Sasha questioned.

"I'm sure Nashi is taking care of it. Despite her earlier intentions, I think she's really the only one that can actually defeat him." Simon said. "We'll just have to leave it in her hands." Sasha can agreed with that. It's all up to Nashi now.

...

Nashi

With Amata's help, the battle was going better in Nashi's favor. Nashi and Sapphron kept flying around and kept attacking each other. The two of them flew around the air and kept attacking each other.

"You won't stop me!" Sapphron said as he landed a strike.

"I can and will!" Nashi said as she was able to kick him in the face. Amata joined in as she came at Sapphron and brought her teeth down on him. Sapphron used his arms and legs to try and hold them back. Amata flew down and smashed her head against the ground to try and deal some damage to him. However, Sapphron endured it. Amata kept trying her best as she flared her head around. Sapphron did his best to hold on until he was finally able to break out of there. "Now I've got you!" Nashi flew in and smashed her fist against Sapphron and caused him to plummet into the ground.

"Nice hit." Amata said.

"Serves him right." Nashi said. Nashi might be doing better in this fight, but Sapphron was still able to get up and brush off his attacks. 'It's going to take a lot to beat this guy, but that spell is almost complete. There's got to be some way I can take him down for good.'

"Your skills and powers are impressive, Nashi, but they aren't enough to defeat me." Sapphron claimed.

"I still have a chance." Nashi said as she wasn't backing down yet. She took in a deep breath. Sapphron knew what she was about to do for he was doing the same thing. "Fire Dragon Roar!"

"Sapphire Dragon Roar!" They both used their breath attacks and the two flames clashed into each other. Nashi might have been doing better in this fight, but Sapphron's flames were pushing through Nashi's and was beginning to overpower her.

"Let me help with this." Amata said as she got behind Nashi. She breathed out her own flames. The flames consumed around Nashi and her own breath attack stronger. Amata's and Nashi's combined flames pushed through Sapphron's and he was the one caught in it. It created a large ball of fire. The heat was so intense that it was felt all through Crocus. Nashi flew out of the flames and was impressed with what just happened.

"Do you think that got him?" Nashi said.

"He's a fellow fire dragon slayer. I say that was only half as effective as it should have been." Amata said. She was right. Despite how intense the flames were, and the damage they did to the land, Sapphron was still standing. He glared at the two of them as he has ran out of patience with them.

"Now this is what I call a dragon rumble." Nashi said as she was beginning to find some excitement in all of this.

"While this all is rather impressive, it won't do any good. It won't be long now until the dragons are among us again." Sapphron said. "All you're doing is passing the time until that happens."

"That's not what it looks like there." Nashi said as she pointed to a part of his body. Sapphron looked until he spotted his tail. It was burned more than the rest of his body. He couldn't believe this had happened to him. Does this mean Nashi and Amata's flames together are stronger than his? "Face it, Sapphron. I do have what it takes to beat you. I really am as much of a dragon slayer as you are." Nashi might really have a chance. Her flames are growing stronger and stronger. She just might be able to win it.
