Welcome to the new chapter of Fairy Tail: The Third Ace, I have to say; this might be the first longest chapter I have made. Hope you all enjoy it!
In the East Forest of Fiore, not too far from Magnolia, there settled a home in the form of a tree. Said home was occupied by a single patron. She was a tall, thin, older woman, with moderately long, pink hair. This woman was known as Porlyusica, once a member of the Fairy Tail guild herself. However, her growing hatred of humanity and their decisions urged her into a much more isolated setting. Although she lived alone, the former mage was a prominent healer when it came to illnesses that were magic related.
Currently in a makeshift bed near a window, sat a broken Makarov, lying unconscious, his magic drained from him, and breathing heavily. "Stupid old man..." Porlyusica mumbles to herself as she slaps the sleeping old man on the face.
"O-Oi! Take it easy!" Alzack exclaimed with a concerned look on his face.
"What are you doing to our master...I mean your patient!?" Bisca shouted in an angry tone. The green-haired cowgirl glared at the pink-haired healing mage.
"Tch, he rushed into that battle without even considering his age, and look at him now. He...really is such a foolish man." Porlyusica said, staring down at the incapacitated Makarov. Suddenly the pink-haired woman whipped around and glared daggers at Bisca and Alzack. "How long are you humans gonna stay here?! Leave already!"
"No...well...we're worried about our master's condition." Alzack stammered out, as he scratched his chin.
"Please Porlyusica, allow us to look after him for a while." Bisca pleaded, clasping her hands in from of her chest. "We're really concerned."
"Go home," Porlyusica quietly demanded, "The stench of fretting faces is the worst poison to a sick man." she finished speaking causing the couple to exchange uneasy looks. "He is in this state because of a wind spell called Drain... A fearful spell, capable of draining its intended target of all its magic power. And once drained their magic drifts through the air and eventually fades away. If we can gather Makarov's Magical power, he would have recovered quickly. But now… It is too late… His recovery will take much time."
"Is that so?" Alzack asked hesitantly.
"W-we'll let the others know then," Bisca stated while the two looked glumly to their fallen master.
But once again, the healer's head shot in their direction, "What are you still doing here?!"
The two jumped in fear at her shark-like glare, "Huh?! Didn't you want for us to stay and listen?!" They defended.
Within a second, Porlyusica pulled out a broom and started ragingly waving it toward the two in a threatening manner, "Go home now! Your human stench is fouling my home!" she shrieked.
"Pardon us!" Bisca shouted.
"We'll be off!" Alzack shouted as they quickly rushed out the door in a hurry, hoping to avoid the pink haired woman's wrath.
When Porlyusica was sure Bisca and Alzack were gone, she sighed and turned back to Makarov. "You've caused so much trouble since the old days." She said in a low tone; her eyes full of sadness. "For mages, their magic is like their life source. The greater the magical power one possesses, the more magical drain hurts. If you don't fight your hardest...you could die like this." Porlyusica released a shaky breath, and gently placed a hand on Makarov's shoulder. "You're...really an idiot...please pull through...your children...they're scared and hurt...please, they need you now more than ever."
Back in Magnolia, the Fairy Tail members sat in the cellar of their guild. Some were recuperating, others were treating injuries that they had sustained during the Phantom assault, and the rest were preparing for any more attacks, whether they be offensive or defensive. But overall, they were silently mourning the losses that they had procured after their recent battle with the rival guild.
"Damn it…"
"I can't believe this…"
"How could this happen?!"
"What do we do now?!"
These were all utterances around the cellar as they sat at tables, or stood over maps covering the landscape around the Phantom Lord guild main headquarters. Macao and Wakaba sifted through crates of lacrimas, hurriedly stuffing as much as they could in makeshift knapsacks.
"We'll need more explosive lacrimas!" the smoke mage shouted.
"We need to come up with a plan!" Macao argued.
"Well, if we load up on these lacrimas, we can launch them up their asses!"
"That won't work, you old coot!"
As the two argued, with some members began involving themselves in the commotion, wanting to put in their own input. While on the far side, At the far side of the cellar, Elfman and Gray stood with their arms folded, while Lucy sat on a barrel, timidly, Nick beside her. Natsu was stomping on several crates parts in anger.
"Dammit! I refuse to believe that Gramps lost easily!" The salmon haired yelled in anger.
"Calm down, Firestick," Gray said.
Lucy was quietly watching them. Seeing how badly injured some of her friends were from the fight they had with Phantom only made her feel more guilty. After Nick saved her from the Elemental 4, he told her why they were after her. She felt absolutely terrified at what her father did. ('This all my fault.') Lucy thought, hanging her head in shame. The blonde could feel tears stinging the corners of her eyes, as she listened to her guildmates. Lucy began to tremble slightly; trying to hold back her tears. However, Lucy gasped when she suddenly felt a strong hand gently squeeze her shoulder.
"This isn't your fault Luce." She turns to see Nick staring at her, with a worried look.
"Hey, are you alright Lucy?" Gray asked as he and Elfman walked up to the duo. "Are you still worried?"
"N-No...I'm not worried...it's just..." Lucy's expression saddened again, as she clenched her fists tightly in her lap. "I'm so sorry."
"Well, daughters of rich families are prime targets," Elfman said, crossing his arms over his broad chest. "But it's a man's duty to protect them."
"Don't say shit like that, you idiot." Gray hissed, as he punched Elfman in the arm.
"But I'm confused too." Happy said, looking up the blonde celestial spirit mage. "Lucy, why did you hide who you really were from us."
"I wasn't so much hiding it...but I ran away from home a year ago and not once did he want me back. Now he suddenly wants me back, I just don't get it." Everyone watched as Lucy's hands tightened into a fist, "Doing all these horrible things just to get me back… He's the worst! Although...all of this happened because I ran away from home in the first place, right...?"
"N-No! That's ridiculous! Your dad is the bad one!" Elfman told her with a wave of his hand.
"Idiot! Don't say things like that!" Natsu and Gray shouted at him, making him even more awkward.
"Because of my selfish actions...I can't believe I caused so much trouble for everyone...maybe everything will get better if I just go back home..." Lucy admitted before feeling someone hugging her from behind.
"You shouldn't blame yourself for this Lucy," Nick said as he held her close. "Phantom Lord needed an excuse to attack us from the start. This war was inevitable." He smiles softly at her, "Besides, you say you love it here. Why return to someplace you don't want to?" he then waved his arm around the Guild, "This is your home now, Luce."
"Yeah! Things won't go back the same without you here now!" Natsu said with a cheerful smile. "You're family now!"
Lucy's breath hitched, as she felt tears begin to stream down her cheeks. The blonde had been completely moved by the dragon slayers' heartfelt words before covering her face Nick's chest. The Earth Dragon Slayer simply caressed her hair, "There, let it all out." He whispered to her.
"Don't cry. It's not like you..."
"Yeah! Men are weak to womanly tears!" Gray and Elfman added in, with the former rubbing the back of his head while the latter trying his best not to cry himself.
"Way to ruin the moment you idiots!" Natsu yelled at them.
"Aye/Arf!" Happy and Rocky as well.
Meanwhile, in another room of the cellar, where most of the stock consisted, Cana sat cross-legged while studying a pattern of cards she had laid out. After flipping one, she took a moment to concentrate, only to abruptly toss the cards around in frustration a second later.
"It's no use! I can't find where Mystogan is!"
"We don't have a clue where Mystogan is, and the master is out cold, and to top it all off, we have no clue when those bastards at Phantom are gonna strike...GAHH! This totally blows!" Mira ranted on as she was upset at their current situation.
Grabbing a bottle beside her Cana took a quick chug, "If their target is Lucy, I wouldn't be surprised if they attacked again soon. We've got too many injured people on top of that. This is not looking good for us…" she finished by taking a swill of her drink.
Mirajane grunted before turning to the direction of the counter across from her, where sat a communication lacrimas. In the ball, it showed a mirage of the Laxus, "Prick, our guild is under attack and the master is seriously injured. Most of our other members have also suffered injuries and we are unable to locate Mystogan. We could really use your help." Mira stated although she did her best not to puke when she 'requested' help from Laxus.
"Gramps is out? HAHAHAHAHA! That's great news, maybe now I can take over for him now!" He laughed.
"We need your help!" Mira protested, though the words she said made her inwardly scowl as she mentally gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, a wave of harsh laughter erupted from the lacrimas, "God…The geezer is freaking pathetic, hahahaha! I don't see how this is remotely my problem. Besides, you guys are there, so why do you even need me when he is more than enough to handle those Phantom weaklings?" Laxus sneered.
"So you're not gonna help us?!" Cana asked in an agitated manner.
"Of course not, why would I? That fool old coat started it anyway, so why do I have to be the one to clean up his mess?" Laxus countered, not really caring about his grandfather
"Laxus, they are trying to kidnap Lucy and we really could use your help," Mira said, continuing with the practical beginning despite the fact that she loathed doing so with all of her beings.
"Lucy? Do I even know her? Oh yeah…I think I remember her, she is the blonde that Natsu and shit head brought to the guild…. Hey, if you can talk blondie into being my woman then I'll do anything she wants!" Laxus started with a demented grin on his face.
"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! What the hell kind of reasoning is that you bastard!?" Mira yelled at him as she glared at the lacrima.
"You are such a pig!" Cana exclaimed.
"Oi! Is this really how to act when you're trying to act someone for help? Oh, and go ahead and tell the coot to step down so I can make master already!" He demanded.
"You damn..!" Mira muttered as she gritted her teeth in anger.
"Oh yeah, also, why don't you two strip for me right now? I was always curious how much you two have grown~." He said with a lustful look in his eye.
"No way in hell! You damn Prick!" Cana fired back as she slammed her fist on the table.
"HAHAHAHA, well I guess you guys are screwed then, HAHAHAHAH-" He finished with a large wave a cruel laughter. Suddenly the lacrimas showing the mirage burst into shards as Mira broke it with her bare fist. Laying her fist on her side she clenched it so hard that her knuckles turned white as she growled.
"That blonde shit head isn't gonna be any help to us..." Mira growled as she looked around at all the guildmates, "How the hell someone like him a member of Fairy Tail?!"
"Mira..." Cana whispered.
"I take it that Laxus isn't coming?" The two women turned their heads as they heard a familiar voice. As they searched for the source, they found Nick standing with his arms crossed. A sigh escaping his lips. "He's a real idiot… I wasn't expecting him to come either way."
"Then what the hell are we-?!" Mira was about to ask when she felt hands on her shoulders.
"We'll do what we do best," Nick said with a smirk. "We'll make Phantom beg for mercy."
…
…
…
That earn both girls to smile at him. "Damn right!" squealed as she pounced on him, wrapping him in a hug. "You're so right! Who needs that lighting fucker when we got the true Strongest Wizard in Fairy Tail! Me and Nick!"
"What are you talking about? Erza is in the bath and Gildarts isn't back yet." Cana said from the side, earning a raspberry from Mira and a laugh from her fellow brunette.
In the showers on the other side of the lower floors, Erza was trying to calm herself down from the battle they had just left, ('According to Bisca and Alzack, Master was hit by a spell called Drain. Apparently, the target of the spell could recover faster if the magic that was scattered was returned to him. But since we didn't know what it was exactly, it was too late to do anything then.…') she thought before placing her hands on the wall, "The Master is out of commission at the moment, Mystogan is going to be too busy to help with the situation here," she spoke out loud through the sound of running water, "Laxus is nowhere near us and would not even attempt to come… A lot of our numbers were injured in this battle." The redheaded woman snapped her eyes closed and gritted her teeth as memories of the battle echoed through her mind.
"Jose is probably on the top floor! I'm gonna tear him a new one!"
Makarov's words played in her head as she remembered the last time she spoke to him. She then clenched her fists and punched the wall as hard as she could, "Damn it! I should have gone with him! I'm pathetic! It's all my fault!"
Suddenly, the building itself seemed to shake at the massive quake that rumbled throughout the Fairy Tail cellar. Hurriedly, she exits the bath, re-equip her armor and follows all the members of the guild, who were outside. What they were met with was shocking, to say the least. Walking across the water towards Fairy Tail was a massive building; with six legs sprouting from its base. Splattered across the building's exterior was Phantom Lord's guild mark. Everyone stared at the approaching building with wide-eyes. This was the scene that Erza saw when she reached Fairy Tail.
"What the hell is that thing?!"
"It's a walking fucking guild!"
"That's got to be Phantom Lord!" Screamed the guild members as they recognized the massive headquarters of the Phantom Lord Guild.
(Phantom Lord)
Inside the main control room, Jose was sitting in his chair with several men surrounding him in order to properly control the moving Headquarters. The Guild master gave the men a silent nod to signal them to prepare the weapon and wait for his orders. Outside on the mainland, Fairy Tail watched in shock as the gate in front of the building slid down and a large cannon emerged from inside the building, extending its barrel which was currently pointed at them and their Guild Hall. After it settled, a ball of compressed, black, magical energy began to build up at the barrel of the large cannon, growing to enormous size, "The Magical Convergent Cannon, Jupiter….Engage and wait for my mark… Eradicate them all." Said the Guildmaster with a dark look.
(Back outside)
Bisca, who was using her rifle scope, stare at it in shock. "They're going to shoot at us!" She warned everyone, who commenced to be desperate-
"Before anyone starts to shit their pants! Move behind us!" They all look at Nick, who was accompanied by Mirajane and Erza. Everyone did as he said as the three of them stood right in the path of the cannon.
The brown haired took a deep breath and let it out, extending his arms to both girls, "M'Ladies." he spoke to both of them.
Mira blush and giggled as she took his left hand without hesitation, "Darling."
Erza stares at the right hand in embarrassment before smiling a little and taking it.
All three of them now stared at the walking building with serious expressions and closing their eyes, their magic combining with each other. Mere moments, breathing and heartbeats were in sync; their magic now fully intertwined; dark purple, brown, and silver auras surround them. Everyone stared at them in shock and surprise.
"N-No way…"
"Amazing…"
"So manly…"
"T-They're using True Unison Raid! All three of them?!"
"Aye! They're the strongest!"
"Arwwooooo!"
The trio still had their eyes close, their hands holding tight while their magic grew. They began to chant. "To Destroy Those That Defied Us. We Summon The Strength Of The Knight That Servers the King of Darkness. Come Forth! And Give The Enemy Its Graving Punishment!" A giant magic circle appeared behind the three of them.
"Fire!" Not a second later, the storm building Phantom's cannon fired its powerful payload. The blast exploding into a beam of gargantuan size, throwing the water below it apart to show the visible bottom of the lake.
"Mira! Erza!" Nick's eyes shot open, glowing green emerald. "Let's show them what happens when Fairies get angry!"
"With Pleasure!/Right!" Both girls eyes shot open as well their eyes glow with their respective magic colors.
"Earth Dragon's Storm Blades of Darkness!" The magic circle shot a triple-size beam with several blade swords cover in darkness. It charged forward Jupiter head on, and both attacks connect with each other, holding their ground together. The trio struggled together before they let a roar of defiance as the push Jupiter back before overpowering it. The attack hit dead on the sides of the canon, making cracks around it before dispersing.
(Inside Phantom Lord's)
"WHAT?!" Jose roared, watching his most powerful weapon be completed destroyed by three wizards. "T-This is impossible! How can those Fairy bastards stop my most powerful weapon?!" Jose exclaimed, completely dumbfounded by what he was seeing.
Back with the Fairies, Nick, Erza, and Mira stop using their magic. They let a sigh of relief out before both girls almost fell down if it wasn't for Nick catching them both with his arms. "Sorry… I made you both use much than expected." he apologized to them.
"Hmm~ This was nothing," Mira said as she snuggles her face against his neck. "Although, I'm confused as to why Fat Tomato over there is helping us. We both were enough."
"Shut it, Slut," Erza respond back with a tick mark, as well enjoying her rest against Nick. "I think you have all backward; is you who we didn't need." Both girls glare at each other.
Meanwhile, the rest of the guild stare in complete amazed and shock.
"They did it!"
"I don't believe this!"
"They freaking stop the attack!"
"There so manly, including sis!" Soon enough the rest of the guild joined in the cheers, but they were cut off as Jose's voice echoed over the landscape.
"VERY IMPRESSIVE FAIRY TAIL," Jose's voice echoed from the magical speaker system of his Headquarters, drawing the attention of many as they turned to look at him. "BUT EVEN IF YOU MANAGED TO BLOCK THE FIRST BLAST, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO STOP ANOTHER… HAND OVER LUCY HEARTFILIA, IMMEDIATELY."
"You're out of your fucking mind!" Alzack shouted, causing a resounding cheer from the other Fairy Tail mages.
"There's no way we're just gonna hand over one of our own!" Bisca screamed as she rallied behind Alzack.
"Lucy's not going anywhere! She's one of us and that is how it's going to stay!" One by one other member of the guild shouted their own opinions on how they would never do such a thing, bringing tears to Lucy's eyes as she heard their words.
"THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! I WON'T ASK AGAIN!"
Lucy's body shook as she looked at the damage done to the area and to her guildmates, ('I…I should just give myself up… I don't want anyone to suffer because of me…')
"Hey!" Everyone turns to Nick, who had his eyes shadowed by his hair, both Mira and Erza move away from him. "If we give you Lucy… You'll leave?" Everyone stares at him in shock, they were about to ask if he was crazy until they saw his eyes.
"THAT'S CORR-" Jose was affirming until his eyes saw the brunette's eyes….And for the first time in his entire career, he widened in fear.
Nick's eyes were pure white, no pupil was in sight. They were like pure pearls, shining by the sunlight and glaring right through anything that was protecting the Phantom Master. "No wonder Phantom Lord is full of shit…. Like hell, we're giving one of us to a fucking coward like you!"
"YEAAAAAAAH!"
"Come on! Give us your worst!" Nick shout as he flips him off. "You're about to feel the Wrath of the Fairies!" With that, everyone roar once more.
That made Jose grit his teeth in anger before giving his order, "...VERY WELL! THEN YOU CAN ALL DIE! THE NEXT BLAST OF JUPITER WILL RAIN HELL UPON YOU WITH EVEN MORE POWER AND IT WILL BE MUCH LARGER! SO SAVOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES OF YOUR LIVES BECAUSE THEY WILL BE YOUR LAST!"
The guild quieted down at Jose's proclamation.
"What the hell?" Elfman muttered with grit teeth.
"They're gonna fire it again so soon?!" Loki could feel a bead of sweat go down the side of his face as he thought of the enemy sending out an even larger Jupiter blast.
"W-what?!"
"He's going to fire it again?!"
"No way!"
"Look!" Cana spoke up making several heads turned to look at her to see that the brunette was pointing at the moving building in front of them, where to their surprise thousands of ghost-like creatures were flying out of the windows and other openings, "Those things are Jose's Shade Magic given form to be his phantom soldiers! It doesn't matter if he shoots Jupiter, they are ghost puppets made out of him!"
"HELL HAS COME FOR YOU ALL, FAIRY TAIL! YOU ARE NOW LEFT WITH TWO CHOICES; BE DESTROY BY MY HENCHMEN PR BE DEMOLISHED BY JUPITER!" Jose roar one more time before shutting off.
"Fucking asshole!" Gray yelled out in anger.
"15 minutes?!" Natsu punches his fist together. "Is enough for me to destroy it!" He was about to dash forward, only for a hand to grab his scarf.
"Hold on! Jupiter isn't the only thing we need to worried about!" Nick said, surprising everyone.
"And that is?!" Mira asked him.
"Jose think he got us on the dark. But he's wrong…" Nick explained to them quickly, "While you all went and attack Phantom, Sayla and I investigate what they have in store. The Jupiter Cannon is their main force. They have a trump card too…. In the form of that building been a mechanical giant called the Super Mage Giant Phantom MK II."
"WHAT?!" Everyone stared at him in shock.
"T-The machine that can act as a wizard?!" Erza asked, hearing of this before through her visits to Era.
"That's the one," Nick confirmed. "Is their last trump card….Luckily for us, there's one major weakness."
"And that is?" Elfman asked him.
"That thing is power by the connection of four types of magic; earth, water, fire, and air." He countdown with his fingers.
"Earth, Water…. You mean, the Element Four!?" Lucy quickly understood what he was saying.
"So, we take down the Elements and that thing stop, right?" Natsu coated his fist on fire. "Sounds like a plan to me!"
"Okay. Then, this is what we'll do," Nick look at everyone present, "Cana! Think you can take the lead from here and hold off?!"
"Sure can!" Cana smirk while holding her cards around.
"Luce, you help the others fend off the ghosts as well!
"G-Go it!" Lucy nod and took her whip out.
"Elfman! Rocky! Protect Luce from anything! Is possible that Jose will try to steal her back!"
"Yes! A manly job for me!" Elfman shouts as his right arm was cover in his magic before using his Take-Over Magic and transform it the Beast Arm.
"Awroooooo!" Rocky as well use his Take-Over Magic, becoming his Werewolf appearance.
"Mira! Erza! Natsu! Gray! We're going inside and end this!"
"My pleasure/Of course/I'm fired up/No problem!" The four of them of the answer.
Once the group had reached the edge of the mainland Gray brought his hands together, "I'll make us a path, Ice-Make… Stairs!" He slammed his hands on the ground and used his powers to create a long set of stairs with a curved railing on either side that led to the cannon, "Now let's kick some ass!"
"Nice job, Ice Pop!" Mirajane calls out as she, Nick, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Happy (Who was flying) began to climb it. The group soon arrived at Jupiter's barrel and stood at the opening of a circular tunnel. They walked down the barrel until they made it to a large room with a giant Lacrima in the center with four colored crystals attached to walls surrounding it, and above the Lacrima was a giant timer, "That's right. For the power necessary on the Jupiter Cannon's scale, it needs a Lacrima large enough to contain the concentration of magical power it builds up."
"Whoa, now that's one big Lacrima!" Happy commented in awe.
"It is… We should destroy now that we have the chance." Nick suggest, only to be interrupted-
"I cannot let that happen." They heard a new voice coming to them, they look to the side and were met with the sight of a young man. His hair was toned in parallels of white and black as they were tied up in a spiked knot. His garb was a reddish ninja-like gi. To top it all, three black bars streaked horizontally across his face. "It is Phantom Lord's priority to see Fairy Tail wiped from the face of Fiore. For that to happen, the Jupiter is required."
"Who the fuck is this guy?" Natsu asked in confusion.
"I am Totomaru, of Phantom Lord's Element Four." The man, now name Totomaru, calmly stated.
Before any of the Fairy Tail mages could react, a large clock overshadowing the room on the ceiling moved to another numeral embedded on it with a large strike. "Seven minutes until Jupiter discharge." A female voice echoed in the core.
"Dammit! We don't have much time!" Natsu said as he ignites his fist. "I'll make this quick!" He jumps forward, only for his own fist to slam against himself, "Gah!"
"Is no used," Totomaru said as he took his sword out and fire surrounded him. "I have control over fire magic; all flames are-"
*CRACK*
The sound of a crystal breaking caught Totomaru's attention. His eyes widened in fear as he saw the chibi versions of Nick, Erza and Mirajane's fists had made three cracks on the giant lacrima with a neutral expression. They jump away as the lacrima commenced to crumble into pieces before exploding into nothing.
(Outside)
The explosion of the Lacrima reaches the outside of the guild, destroying Jupiter's cannon as well. After seeing the spectacle take place, the members roared in cheers as a wave of victorious sensation filled all those fighting below.
"They did it!"
"The Jupiter is destroyed!"
"We might actually win this!"
Cana chuckles a bit as she shuffles her cards around, "Those guys did their job too quick...Now we have nothing left to fear! Destroy the enemy!" She shouts at the others, who roar back and began to fight back.
(Phantom Lord's Main Room)
In the control center of the Phantom Headquarters, magical apparatuses for some mages seemed to have shot out and were no longer functional.
"Master Jose! The lacrima for the Jupiter has been destroyed! The cannon is no longer operational!" Shouted one of the hooded mages to his seated Guild master.
Jose proceeded to clench his fist as a pang of anger and annoyance ran through his body, "Such incorrigible scum…" he harshly muttered. Bringing up his other arm, he proceeded to pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration, ('It seems that small test run will have to be enough.') he mauled in his thoughts. "Launch the MK. II! And have it prepare Abyss Break at once!" he bellowed to his minions.
"Yes, sir!"
(With Nick and the others)
"There, that takes of one problem," Mira said as she dusts her hands off. "Now then..." She turns Totomaru with her devil smile, scaring the spine out of the fire mage. "How about we take care of you?"
('D-Demon!') Totomaru screams on his head in fear. ('Master didn't say anything about demons!')
"Hold on Mira." Nick's hand on her shoulder stop whatever she was planning. "We gotta search for the rest of the Elements now that Jupiter is out." Suddenly, the entire building began to shake like mad, making both Dragon Slayers gag and fell down victims of the motion sickness. "D...Dammit…!"
"Not...now…!" Natsu grumble as the
"Tch, there really isn't time for this!" Mirajane quickly picks the brunette up and throw his arm around her shoulders while Erza did the same with Natsu.
"Like I'll let you-" Totomaru tried to say, only to jump away from several ice shards heading his way. He looks at Gray, who had his ice ready to shoot.
"You all go ahead! This guy is mine!" The black-haired shout as he creates an ice javelin.
"Gray! You better not lose!" Happy said. With that, Erza, Happy, and Mira took their partners through different paths, leaving Gray alone with Totomaru.
"Hmph. So, my opponent is Gray Fullbuster." Totomaru said as he ready himself, "Your ice will never defeat my fire, you know?"
"Big talk from someone this weak," he said before throwing his weapon forward, "Ice-Make: Javelin!" he called the attack name. Shooting it toward the red-haired. However, Totomaru vanished from his spot before the attack could hit him, causing Gray's eyes to widen. He spun around, but it was too late as the Phantom Lord mage kneed him in the stomach, sending him flying into a wall. Gray grunted before straightening himself up just in time as Totomaru prepared his own attack.
"Red Fire!" He summons a red seal from the palm of his hand and a red fireball was sent at Gray.
Ur's pupil quickly place his fist on his palm, "Ice-Make: Shield!" An almost-like reminiscent of a flower shield was formed, the fireball smash against it, creating a smoke screen. Blinding Gray's view. His eyes widened when he saw a light above him.
"Orange Fire!" A fire of orange rain down on him, causing Gray to shriek. Not in pain, however, but in disgust, as his eyes started to tear up a bit.
"What the fuck is with this fire?! Is taste like a rotten egg!" Gray scream as he tries to eliminate the smell from his nose.
"My flames have a wide variety of attributes," Totomaru explained before he vaulted over Gray's shoulder and launching himself into the air. At the height of his jump, he looked down at the distracted Ice Make mage, "You would do well to remember that." he finished and drew his katana. He brought it down on Gray, intending to finish him off.
"Ice-Make: Sword" Luckily, Gray recovered enough and created a sword out of ice, blocking the Totomaru's inches from his face before pushing him away. "You have some nerves… What's the point of all this?!" he asked him, which received a chuckle.
"Isn't obvious? The two of our guilds were fighting for decades, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened." The Fire Mage explained calmly before he blocked a vicious slash from Gray's sword.
"And risk the lives of innocent people?!" Gray shouted in rage, as he rapidly slashed the enemy. Totomaru felt slightly nervous as he was being overpowered by the relentless assault of Gray. Before he knew it, his sword was slapped out of his hands into the air. He was fast enough to take a large leap back in order to dodge another slash from the Ice mage.
"Not my fault; is Master's choice to prove once and for all who is the strongest guild." Totomaru said before he raised his magical power, "And I intend to not deception him! Rainbow Fire!" As he cast the spell, a seal appeared quickly and generated flames of multiple colors came which combined into one brightly colored flame. Once it was ready, he launched it toward Gray, consuming him in an explosion of flames.
Totomaru grinned as he thought that he won, but his grin was quickly replaced by a shocked gasp when the Ice Mage emerged from the flames and charged at him. Before he knew it, Gray had slam both of his on the fire mages chest, "Ice-Make: Sub-Zero!" In mere moments, Totomaru was frozen, unmoving and left wide open.
"You're fire is strong…" Gray smirk before covering his right arm in ice, "But I have been hit by much stronger fire attacks!" he then uppercut the fire mage hard, sending him into the air. "Ice-Make: Cannon!" Gray created a large, bazooka-like hand-held cannon, he then fired a cannonball made of ice from it toward the frozen/flying fire mage. Once impacted, it explodes, dropping an unconscious Totomaru into the floor.
"There…" Gray let the exhaustion out before his eyes widened when he heard Happy shout.
"Gray! We have a problem!" The cat yelled with desperation. "The Giant is using Abyss Break to destroy the Guild!"
"What?!" Gray exhaustion was gone as he made his way to the upper level. ('Dammit! Are they really that desperate to win!?')
(With Mira and Nick)
The white and brown down was running through the building, looking for the three other elements. "Dammit! Where are they?!" Mira asked in annoyance.
"Be patient, they come anytime soon!" Nick said to her before he senses skyrocket. Stopping in his tracks and grabbing Mirajane out of the way, just in time as the earth erupted from the ground and tried to crush them both.
"What the hell was that?!" she asked no one as Nick drop her.
She got her response when a man with a French accent emerged from the earth, "Salut! I'm Monsieur Sol. Part of Element 4, and….." he greeted as he swayed from side to side, only for his eyes to pale at who was he talking too. "NOOOOOON! THE DEMON IS HERE! HAVE MERCY, MONSIEUR!" from a gentleman to a scary kid, what a day.
Mira blinks a few minutes before looking at her crush, "Nick, what did you do? And can you teach me that?" She asked, more in fascination than curiosity.
"Wrong time, Mira." Nick sighs as he turns around, "Think you can handle him?"
The She-Demon scoff at the question, "Of course! I'm not like Harlot Cunt!" She said proudly, making Nick sweat drop at her attitude. "Now chuu. Don't waste your time with this weakling."
"...Fine," Nick before running away, "Don't you dare lose, Mira!"
Mirajane turns to the recovering Sol, smiling like a dominatrix ready to beat the shit out of its victim. "Like I would do that!" she lung at the earth mage, who quickly dodge her.
Sol's confident return when the brunette disappeared, "Oh how un-lady like Mademoiselle Mirajane. It appears I must teach you proper respect and manners." Sol said while rubbing his hands together and swaying from side to side.
"Hoh~? YOU'RE gonna teach ME? I think someone needs to be punished again." Mira said, cracking her knuckles while having a demonic look on her face.
"Oh? Do you honestly think you have a fighting chance against me?" Sol said as he started moving side to side with an amused grin, "I know all about you… or rather, I know many details when it comes to the wizards-"
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Just shut it freak." Mirajane waved her arm in an annoyed manner. Those fools only knew how to talk their way in.
"Hmmmmm… I believe you... had a little sister, right?" Sole said smiling in amusement causing Mirajane's eyes to widen slightly. But before she could say or do anything, Sol landed on his feet and created a swirl of sand around Mirajane, which caused the young girl to cover her eyes, "Sable Dance!"
"Ugh..." Mirajane gritted her teeth as she tried to locate her opponent through the sand, ('Where did he...?')
"Roche Concerto!" Sol's voice called out from behind as Mirajane was suddenly pounded by many rocks that were shooting up from the ground. The Take Over wizard flip away from the barrage of rocks.
('Damn it… I can't believe I let myself get hit by such pathetic attack.…') The white-haired thought to herself.
"If I recall correctly..." Sol started to speak while he played with his thin mustache, " A few years back, you little brother attempted to perform a Full-Body Take-Over, but it went wrong and he went berserk...your darling little sister, Lisanna was it? She tried to bring him back-" Before Sol could even speak more, he found his throat been hoed tight, making him start gasping for air on his lungs.
"You goddamn piece of shit….!" Mira's eyes were shadow by her hair, "You dare to talk about my family like if you have permission…" her grip tighten more before looking at the defenseless mage, "LIKE I'M GOING TO LET YOU!" She roared as her body and the area surrounding her started to glow gold, the ground under her broke apart and boulders shot out of the ground, a gigantic black magical circle formed over the screaming woman's head as her body started to change.
('W-Wait! T-This is….Satan Soul?!') to Sol's fear, Mira had changed to her Satan Soul appearance. She looks at him with those demon eyes of hers. "W-Wait-!"
Whatever Sol was about to say died down when Mira slam him hard on the floor before starting a barrage of her demon fists. His body couldn't even describe each hit was given to him, but if he would guess, is like hitting the ocean after surviving the atmosphere of space with a meteor squashing him. To make things worse, the model places her demon palm forward to his face. "Soul Extinctor!"
From the outside, as everyone continued fighting, an explosion from the side of the MK II was made. Everyone, including the shades, look at it for a moment before returning to their respective fights.
Back with Mira, smoke rose after the attack stopped and Mirajane waited until it cleared away, showing Sol's body lying unconscious against the remains of the wall. "...Noooooo…."
"Tch! Big talk is only you are, Frenchy." Mirajane spoke before a light surrounded her body, as it died down, she returned to her normal appearance. "Nobody talks about my family, remember that." She said before walking away.
(Back to Gray)
After taking care of Totomaru, our resident ice mage had made his way to the right hip of the machine. But when he got out, he notices the change of weather. "What the hell? Since when did it start raining?" Gray wondered as he felt raindrops fall down on him.
"Drip, drip, drop..." He heard a sound behind him, he turns around and saw the water mage that fought Nick.
('A woman?') Gray though in confusion.
"I am Juvia Lockser. The rain woman of Phantom Lord and a member of the Element Four… drip, drip, drop…"
"So you are a member of the Element Four," Gray said as he turned his body fully to face the approaching woman.
"To think you are able to defeat two of the four elements." Juvia spoke up while raising her free hand in the air, "But even if she is one of the two last members, Juvia should not be taken lightly."
"Of course not, but even against a woman or a child I refuse to hold back when they threaten my friends," Gray responded before cracking his knuckles. He narrowed his eyes as he locked gazes with Juvia, the final member of the Element Four and the one who tried to kidnap Lucy. Clenching one of his fists tightly, Gray was about to make a move when suddenly his opponent turned around and started walking away.
"Y-Yes, well…I suppose I've lost this battle… Farewell."
"Whoa, hold on! What the hell?" Gray shouted as his jaw dropped and eyes comically popped out of their sockets in shock.
('No...T-This isn't good.') Juvia said to herself as her heart beat around, ('T-Two people have affected Juvia's heart… I can't win.') she said while clutching her chest tightly.
"Hold up! If you really don't want to fight then stop the MKII!" Gray exclaimed as he ran towards her retreating form.
"This desire… Juvia must have it!" she turn around and summon her water magic, "Water Lock!"
(Ten minutes later)
"Ice-Make: Geyser!" Gray roared, freezing a torrent of water and encasing Juvia in ice. The battle was intense, but he won in the end. The ice suddenly shattered and Juvia fell towards the side of the robot.
('Defeat…With this, everything will end...Like a raindrop, Juvia will fall to the ground and scatter away into tiny droplets...An end fitting an unwanted rain woman like Juvia...') Juvia thought, closing his eyes while falling towards what was her certain death. ('...Farewell, Juvia's depressing self…')
But before her body could even leave the hip, a hand grabs her hand, she gasps a bit as her eyes look up to see Gray holding on the edge and grabbing her arm. "I got you…" he grunts as he holds on. With all his strength, he pulls himself and her up. Juvia landed on the ground unmoving while Gray rested against a piece of rock. "Damn...That was close…"
"Why?" Gray turned to the unmoving woman, "Why did you… save Juvia?" Juvia asked, her blue eyes looking at him.
"Don't be stupid, I did it because I didn't want you to die. Phantom Lord may be our enemies, but no one deserves to die like that," the ice wizard said while scratching his head, "Besides… Letting a girl like you die would be a bad taste for me."
…
…
…
*POOF*
('T-Two times… M-My heart... can't… Take it!')
"...Hey, you okay?" Gray asked when he saw Juvia pass out with her face burning bright red.
(With Erza)
The scarlet haired woman had separate from Natsu once he had felt better and began to search on their own. She was continuing running when her instincts shot out as the wind became wild. Stopping in her tracks as a shadow fell down from the ceiling.
"So... my opponent is Titania...SO SORROWFUL!" The shadow was none other than Aria, and he was crying….for some reason.
Erza, however, glared at Aria as he did the same through the bandages that covered his eyes, she felt once this kind of magic… Right when Makarov fell victim to the Drain magic. "You...you are the one who attacked Master..."
"Yes...that is correct...but to see you standing in front of me is a sad surprise..." He said as Erza continued to glare at him. "So sorrowful...but too bad I will end your life right here and now!" He suddenly stops crying, "Since I am facing the mighty Erza, I should go all out." Erza watched as he took off his bandages, "Now then, let us begin our sorrowful fight that will end with your life being taken away."
Erza stared at Aria's eyes as there was something strange about them. However, at the moment she didn't care and only glared back. "Come at me...Erza. I have activated the airspace of death, Zero. This airspace that consumes all life!" He shouted as a blast of wind blew by Erza, whose metal fist clenched in anger.
"Magic that consumes life..." Erza muttered in anger, "Why do you... Find it so easy TO STEAL PEOPLE'S LIVES AWAY? YOU BASTARDS!" Her rage skyrocket and charged at Aria.
"Hahahaha! Now let's have some fun, I wonder...can you survive in this airspace!?" He shouted at her, but Erza didn't say anything and only swung her sword, cutting through the air magic.
Aria's eyes widened in shock as Erza was slicing the airspace like bread, "No way...how are you slicing the airspace?!" Erza didn't answer him and only continued to swing her sword as she got closer and closer to Aria, "W-Wait-" He tried to plead with her, but Erza was having none of it as she quickly Re-quipped her armor to the Heaven's Wheel Armor and dealt the finishing blow.
"TENRIN BLUMENBLATT!" Aria was struck with many waves of slashes that knocked the wind mage out unconscious for good. "There is no way Master would lose to someone like you...that tale will never appear in your saga..." She glared at him one last time before running away.
(Back outside)
"Damn it! There's no end to these things!" Macao exclaimed as he blasted another Shade away with his purple flames.
Wakaba took his pipe out of his mouth, letting out a few coughs before he placed his pipe back in his mouth. "Man… It's been a long time since I had to smoke this much."
"If you have enough time to chat, focus on the enemy!" Cana exclaimed as she threw cards at the Shades.
Just as she said that a bright light caught their attention, causing everyone to turn their heads up to see that the colossal magic circle in front of the MKII start to fade away until it completely vanished. Everyone watched as one of the giant's arms exploded and the rest of its body started to collapse into the sea until only its main body remained.
"D-Did they…?" Lucy spoke with a hope.
"They did it!" Elfman shouts while raising his arm up in triumph.
"Alright!"
"Now we don't have to worry about the Abyss Break!"
('Nick and the others must've defeated all of the Element Four!') Cana noted happily as a smile grew on her face before she turned to her guildmates with an arm pumped up, "Alright everyone! Now that the giant's down, let's focus on getting rid of these Shades!"
Lucy had a smile on her face as she drew Sagittarius Gate-Key from her pouch, "Everyone inside is giving it everything they've got, so we can't slouch off out here!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Everyone cheered as they continued their fight to protect Fairy Tail.
(Somewhere in Phantom Lord)
"AAAARG!" a Phantom Lord mage shouted as he slammed into a wall thanks to Gajeel's transformed fist.
"That's not a bad sound at all," Gajeel commented as he retracted his iron club away from the man and returned it to his normal gloved hand, "But he doesn't put up much of a fight."
One of the other members of Phantom Lord that were guarding the place decided to speak up as he watched the guy struggle to raise himself back up, "That's enough Gajeel!"
"You need to stop beating up your guildmates!"
"Huh?" The Iron Dragon Slayer looked over with a raised eyebrow.
"You shouldn't do that…" The first Phantom Lord member continued as he cautiously stared at the Iron Dragon Slayer.
"Eh? But I'm bored…" Gajeel replied, sighing as an Iron Dragon Kunai appeared in his hand before he started tossing it into the air, "Those guys get to have all the fun while I'm stuck down here, even Master Jose is getting to fight.… Now, what should I aim for?"
"Please Gajeel, just stop-!?" The male wizard tried again, only for the Iron Dragon Slayer to slam an iron club fist into his face. The other members of the room watched as the wizard was sent crashing into the wall before limply falling forward onto the ground, unconscious before he even hit the floor.
"Shut the fuck up… You're annoying as hell!" Gajeel growled in anger as he glared at all the other guild members, silently daring them to say something to try and stop him. "Man, this sucks… Fairy Tail idiots throwing their lives away just because that girl has some cash." Gajeel grunted as he began beating up some of the other members and ignored their pleadings.
BOOM!
Luckily, a fiery explosion caught the attention of everyone. They all look at the now giant hole in the doors to see Natsu, all fired up (pun intended) and ready to cause trouble. "ELEMENT 4! WHERE ARE YOU!?" The salmon haired shout in anger as he looks around until his nose picks the smell of rusty metal. "GAJEEL!"
"Gehehehe… Look what the cat brought in," the black-haired mage said as he stares at the fire dragon slayer. "Hello, Salamander. So nice for you to join in. I was getting boring in here."
"You big douchebag! You're gonna pay for what you did!" Natsu screams before lunging at him. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" He launches his fist forward, making Gajeel move away.
"Don't get cocky, punk!" The black-haired punk smirk as his arm transforms into a long metal pool. "Iron Dragon's Club!" he slams his attack at Natsu, who dodges it and grab the metal pool, intending to melt it with his fire. However, Gajeel had other plans, "Iron Dragon's Sword!" hetransformed his club arm into a large jagged blade, causing the sharp ends to slash Natsu away. "What do you say, Salamander? Shall we prove who's the better Dragon Slayer?"
"Heh….Funny you should mention it," Natsu chuckle as he stood up, "Because, the better Dragon Slayer right now…. Is neither you nor me."
Gajeel raised an eyebrow, there's another Dragon Slayer? And this punk thinks he's better than either both of them? "Well then, I'll have to beat you first before I go after-" he was interrupted by a flaming fist to the cheek, sending him spiraling into the wall. "You dick! I wasn't finished talking!"
"Like if I cared!" Natsu yelled back.
Gajeel growl as his entire body began to change, his skin began to change into a metal skin. "Iron Dragon's Scales!" With that, he charges forward at the Fire Dragon Slayer, who coated himself in fire and charge forward. They pulled their fist back and slam hard on each other's cheek. To Gajeel surprise, he actually felt the hit on his cheek, even with his metal skin. Before he could do something, Natsu attack with his other fist in the gut. ('What?! How's he hurting me?! My scales are indestructible!')
"Fire Dragon's Inferno's Storm!" Natsu roar in anger as he hits Gajeel with a storm of fire fists. He the concentrate hard and finished with one hard punch to the face, making a crack on the skin and sending rolling through the ground. Natsu smirk at his work, ('Heh...It really work… Thanks for the advice, Nick.') he thought as he remembers an advice his partner/friend told him years ago.
(Flashback)
"Listen good, Natsu! You hit strong and fast, but that alone will never be enough. So, I'm going to show you to search for a weak spot." A young Nick said as he and Natsu were in their training ground.
"Weak spot? Isn't that why I must keep punching my enemies?" the salmon haired asked as he was sit down crossed legged.
"There will be a time when your strength and rash nature won't be able to destroy an armor." The brunette explains and stands right between to rocks. "Look here, I will now destroy this rock." He turns to the left side and began to punch the rock, after the ninth hit, it crumbles down. "This is me using strength." He turns to the right, "Now, I will destroy this rock with its weak spot." Nick concentrate his energy and by hitting the center of the rock, it crumbles into pieces in seconds.
"Ehhhhhhhhhhh?!" Natsu's eyes stare in shock.
"You see now. If you can find the weak spot, even the strongest of armor can break apart with a single fist." Nick said to the amazed Natsu, "A hint for a weak spot is a crack or the lack of pieces in it. Find it, and you got victory in your palm."
(Flashback End)
('Find the weak spot, and I'll break it!') Natsu thought as he stares back at Gajeel, who was standing back up, but in his mouth were pieces of metal. He was munching them like if they were gum. "Ugh! So disgusting! How can you eat that!" Natsu quickly gags his face in disgust.
Gajeel looks at him with droplets, "What are you talking about?! You eat fire!" He yelled at him.
"There's a difference, rust bolt! Fire is tasty!" Natsu proclaimed, causing some jaws to drop at his ironic statement.
"You fucking- Enough about this!" Gajeel took a deep breath, "Iron Dragon's Roar!" A green circle appears and a powerful tornado of sharp shards of metal was sent hurl.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu answer back with his own sea of flames. Both attacks clash with each other and began to struggle with each other. However, Natsu's power commenced to get stronger, "I'm...not...losing… TO PHANTOM LORD!" With the fire getting bigger, it overpowers Gajeel's roar, the flamethrower hitting him and commenced burning his skin.
"Ghaaaaaaaaaa!" The black haired scream in pain as his felt his metal skin melting, ('No...No! I can't lose to a fairy! I'm Black Steel dammit!') he shouts to himself, only to feel something collide with his neck.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Edge!" Natsu hit Gajeel with his attack and slam him hard against the floor, an explosion destroying half of the robots part from the outside. It all began to crumble down to the water, alongside an unconscious Gajeel, with broken metal parts, some of Phantom's members.
"Heh…" Natsu chuckle as he fell along with them, "If you can't beat me… Then you don't have a chance against Nick…" was the last thing he said before passing out by the overuse of magic.
…
..
.
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
Here is someone yelling, you have three guessed to know who it is, and the first two don't count.
"Those pieces of Fairy trash took down all of the Elemental Four and Gajeel?!" Jose slams his fist hard on the desk in front of him. "How worthless all of them can be?!" With anger and magic raising up into the ceiling, scaring all the mages around. "Looks like I'll have to take care of this worms myself-"
BOOM!
The doors explode, sending pieces of wood and mages around into the sky and crashing around, Jose cover his face from the sudden move. The dust began to disperse around as a shadow walk forward from it.
"Good afternoon, Master of Phantom Lord." The shadow finally appeared, revealing the Earth Dragon Slayer walking up to the Dark Mage.
"Who the hell are you?" Jose asked in anger.
"I'm Nick Drake. Member of Fairy Tail. An Earth Dragon Slayer." Nick introduce himself.
"...Another Dragon Slayer" Jose move away from his desk with a scowl before smiling, "I have been feeling a disturbance on the air… That was you wasn't it?"
"Good, you knew about me." Nick crack his fingers, "Then let's get to the point."
"Of course," for some reason, Jose was calm. "You have such potential for someone so young… Tell you what, this fight is pointless. Why don't you join me? Quit Fairy Tail and join me. We could become the strongest in the world."
"Join you?" Nick raised an eyebrow in confusion, "You attack my guild hall, hurt my friend, poison my master, lost your Jupiter Cannon, the Elements 4 and Gajeel… and now you want me to join you? You must be desperate." Nick let a yawn out, "But *Yawn* Not interested in joining a weakling like you. So how about this; you leave and I'll let you have this guild in the pieces it has left."
"You little..." Jose growled before closing his eyes. When he opened them, they were black with yellow pupils, "I will kill you!" He shouted. Raising his arm up like before, he summoned up his dark magic to produce the large purple sphere, his shades spiraling around it in a quick flurry. Jutting it forward he pressed his attack. "Dead Wave!" His magic shaped into a destructive wave which went rushing forward toward the brunette… who lazily dodge to the side.
Jose tried again, and Nick lazily dodges it again. He tried again and the result was the same, he continued to launch more, and more dark spheres and Nick would simply move lazily around, it was like he was drunk with luck. All engaged Jose more before moving his arm in an arc, a series of dark explosions started to play out in front of him. "Dark Pulse!" They all engulfed Nick after the blasts dissipated a great deal of smoke filled the air. Though it was evident that the area hit was almost entirely reduced to rubble or obliterated.
"Are you done?" To Jose shock, the smoke revealed an unscratched Nick, not even his clothes were dirty. "Because if so, I said again; leave now."
"Tch! You're more of a trouble mage than I gave up to," Jose said as dark magical energy began to gather around his hand, "I can't stand it!" He threw a stream of dark energy, hitting Nick straight in the chest and slamming him against the wall. "Do you have any idea why I haven't killed Makarov yet? Is because I want him to feel Despair! To see his own guild destroy and his children unable to battle! Hahahaha...such sorrow he would feel...I can almost see it now...I will kill that man once I know he feels true despair! I won't simply kill him! That would be far too easy! I must make him suffer, suffer until the bitter end!"
"Uhu…" Nick lazily said, letting a yawn out as he pops out from the wall and continues to listen to this mad man's whining attitude.
"Phantom Lord has always been the number one guild in Fiore! The country saw us as the best; our magic was unsurpassed, our members' talents were unsurpassed, and our wealth was unsurpassed! But...in the span of just a few years Fairy Tail rose to power! Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Mystogan and Gildarts, even Natsu and Gray… their names spread as far as my hometown. Before I knew it, Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail came to represent this country! I-I just couldn't stand it! They, who started out as some shitty weak little guild, now challenged the might Phantom Lord for the spot of the top guild!"
Nick stared at him with a deadpan expression, this guy was such a jealous big drama queen! Is like seeing a rich kid whining over a piece of candy over and over again.
"But what pissed me off is that you all have Lucy Heartfilia, the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in Fiore joined Fairy Tail?! How 'amazing' did your guild have to become before you were satisfied?!" Jose yelled, with a crazed look in his eyes, "If your pathetic guild had free reign over the Heartfilia's funds...then your power would finally exceed Phantom Lord's! And that is something that simply cannot happen-"
"Shut up already."
Jose ranting stops talking as he felt a shiver down his spine, he stares at Nick who had his eyes shadowed by his hair. "You attack Levy, Jet, and Droy to a pulp, poison Gramps, tried to capture Luce, making her filled guilty about it… And now your saying we accept her because of who she is… Are you Fucking Stupid?!" Nick looked up at Jose with white eyes full of anger. "Lucy ran away from her house! We didn't even know who she was! She lives a simple house where she rents 7,000 jewels per month, the jewels she works out to make on her jobs! She cries, laughs, and works like the rest of us! This stupid war all started because of her!?" Nick's magic skyrocket up the ceiling, his body tensing the air. "I'm done! I will give you to the count of three…." he spoke in a menacing tone as his magical power wavered off him, shaking all of Magnolia, "Kneel and beg for mercy, scum!"
Outside, all members of Fairy Tail and Shades stop fighting and their spine shiver in fear.
"W-What is that?! Lucy asked in fear.
"This feeling…!" Cana said a smirk and a cold sweat.
"A-A Man shouldn't be trembling this much!" Elfman said as he shakes like an ice cream. Even Rocky was getting scared.
"There's no mistake about it."
Everyone gasps at the familiar voice, they all turn back to see Makarov walking calming up to them, with a sweat dripping down through his forehead. He stops at the center and stares at the top of the robot. "Jose has made his final mistake...and he will pay the price."
(Forest Outside Magnolia)
('The trees...the Earth...the atmosphere...they're all afraid…') Porlyusica thought as she gazed up at the sky. Suddenly the pink-haired woman growled and kicked a box next to her; sending several apples tumbling onto the ground. "This is exactly why humans are so stupid! They're just a bunch of morons, who think fighting is the only way to solve anything! That dumbass, Makarov! If you want to die so badly, go ahead! See if I care!" As Porlyusica continued to rant and rave, her eye caught an apple as it rolled away. She followed the rolling fruit until it was stopped by a masked man, who was sitting on a tree stump. "Mystogan."
"May I?" Mystogan asked, holding up the apple.
"I see..." Porlyusica said as she rubbed her chin. "I thought it was quite strange that Makarov made such a speedy recovery. You must have gathered all of his lost magic." A tick mark formed on Porlyusica's head when Mystogan said nothing, and simply bit into his apple. "Oi! Don't just go around eating random fruit!"
"Two giants have made their move..." Mystogan said cryptically, before taking another bite of the apple. "This war will end soon."
"I don't enjoy making remarks that condone humans fight one another...you're a member too, aren't you? Why aren't you out there, getting involved in the conflict some way?" Porlyusica's suddenly eyes widened when Mystogan reached into his cloak and pulled out dozens of Phantom Lord flags. ('Phantom Flags?! Don't tell me...he single-handedly took out all of Phantom Lord's subdivisions!')
"Do you have any more apples?" Mystogan asked her as he drops down from the tree stump.
"Tch, you people truly amaze me," Porlyusica said, turning her back to Mystogan. "An excess of power only leads to sorrows...and anger can cause one to forget they are surrounded by tragedies..."
"I wish to believe that those tragedies are bathed in a sacred light," Mystogan said, as he gazed up at the clear blue sky. "A sacred light, that is guiding this world." He then turns around as was about to leave until he stops, "By the way… Can you do me a favor?" The old woman look at, "There's a wizard of Fairy Tail name Nick Drake… Can you give him this message?"
"When we meet again, I'll need your strength."
(With the Team)
"What the heck?!" Gray shout in shock.
He re-group with Erza, Happy, and Mirajane, and in his back was an unconscious Juvia, they found the place where Natsu and Gajeel fought out, they exit to find both Slayers unconscious at the edge of the ocean, alongside unconscious members of Phantom Lord. They move them all back to a safe zone when they felt the sudden magic.
"Is a beast! A Beast is coming!" The tabby exceed screams out.
"This magic…" Erza stares at her metal gloves shaking, "There's no question about it…"
"Is Nick's magic!" Mirajane scream in excitement, "He's pissed off!~ And I'm not there to see it!~" she pouts cutely as she stares at the top of the machine.
Slowly and unnoticed, Natsu began to wake up as his tired eye look up to the top of the MKII. He smiles weakly, ('Go for it Nick… Don't show him any mercy.') he thought to himself. What none of them knew is that Gajeel was also awake, and Juvia, who was placed next to him, also wake up. They both felt the magic coming from their guild, in which they stare and were about to witness.
(Back to Nick and Jose)
"What? Kneel and Beg?" Jose asked in an amused tone, this little turd thinks he will do that.
"One."
"Hahahaha! What nonsense are you spouting?! There is no way I'll kneel before you!" Jose exclaimed, glaring up at Nick
"Two."
"You wish for me to kneel before you, and acknowledge you as the strongest guild in Fiore?! Stopping messing around! We're fighting, and I am your equal!" Jose roared, anger surging through his body, "Forget that, I'm stronger than you!"
"Three." The brunette clenched his fist, his magic accumulated in it.
"You're the one who should be kneeling before me! Now die already! Crumble to dust and be erased from history, Fairy Tail!" Jose yelled as he began to prepare an attack of his own.
"From here and now… There will be No Mercy." Nick was surrounded by a cyclone of air, the small pebbles defying gravity and his hair standing up straight while his eyes still stand like the moon and staring at Jose.
"Die Fairy Ta-!" was all Jose got out as he was interrupted when he was impacted by a fist to the cheek, Hard. The force sends him flying back, his back painfully slamming against a wall. Jose used all the strength he had left to stand up, only to be punch in the gut, slamming him again into the wall.
What came next was an indescribable pain as a barrage of fist began to make contact with his body, making it move violently around, blood and sweat splattering around the walls and ground. Nick then grab Jose by the leg and began to slam him like a rag-dog to the wall multiple times before spinning him around into his desk, crashing into it. Jose stood up shakenly as his hand summons magic.
"Y-You….Fucking Worm…!" With a blood dripping from his mouth, he charges at him with his arm forward, "I'll Murder you-"
*CRACK*
…
…
…
"...AH….GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Jose let out a bloody scream as he fell down back while staring at his left arm…
Or at least, he's now unusable broken left arm as it dangles to the side with a fist mark.
"W-W-What the hell?!" Jose looks at Nick, but when he did… He was finally scared of him. "HOW COULD YOU?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?"
"...Yes." the whispered made the Dark Wizard finally realized his mistake, "I'm gonna kill what makes you….YOU!"
Without a second, Nick slams his boot onto his face, dragging him to the other side and into the wall. He then picks him up and Buckle Bomb's him. Before Jose could even touch the floor, the brown-haired began to hit his face with strong hits. Both fists were glowing green and green blurs were the only thing that was visible. Nick the growl hard as he pulled his fist back, "Die." With those words, he uppercut Jose up into the ceiling. Nick cross both of his arms into an X and aim up, "Earth Dragon's… Mana Explosion!"
Outside, all members of Fairy Tail, saw a green light coming from inside the MK II, and then, and explosion cover the entire area, everyone cover their eyes while the Shades began to disappear. When the explosion cleared, the only thing that could be seen as a small part of the Guildhall, which was being engulfed with the water was, while steam rose towards the sky. The Phantom Lord giant was nowhere in sight.
"W...What?" Lucy asked in shock.
"Holy Shit... There's nothing left." Cana was left aghast.
With the team, Mira, Erza, and Gray stare with widened eyes at the complete banishment of the giant robot. Natsu smiles wildly at the event that transpired, and behind him, Gajeel and Juvia stare with jaw drops.
('What the fuck was that?!') Gajeel asked in complete shock.
('W-W-What kind of wizard could do that?!') Juvia asked herself.
Everyone, including Gajeel and Juvia, slowly look at the ground where the giant once stood. They saw something that made some of the smiled proudly, and others look in complete shock.
Right in the center, was Jose, cover in blood and almost drain out of life, his body not moving, but twitching slightly. He was been held by Nick Drake, holding his throat with one hand. The magic around the brunette disperses, knowing fully well that this was over.
('S...So… Hot~') Mira, Erza, Cana, Lucy, and for some reason, Juvia though with heavy blushes.
Suddenly, Phantom's Master then gasp for air, breathing heavily and scared when he saw the brunette, "Still breathing, eh?" Nick asked with a neutral expression.
"...M...M...Mer...Mercy…" Jose muttered out enough for Nick to hear.
"..." The brunette simply drops him down to his feet.
"T...Than-" Jose tried to say, only to feel his broken arm being raised and heard…
"Rock Bottom!" Nick slam him hard down on the ground, sending a shockwave through the ground. Jose's body couldn't take any more damage and fell unconscious.
The brunette stares up and looks at the guild, with a single smile he raised his arm with the guild's sign mark, "Fairy Tail...Is the Strongest There is!" With that one simple shout, everyone cheers in victory. Makarov smile at this.
Fairy Tail had won this war.

"...They really did a number on it," Makarov said, scratching his chin as he stared at the rubble that remained of Fairy Tail's guild hall. It didn't make it in one piece. "It got SmackDown Live here."
"U-Uh, Master..." Lucy said sheepishly, as she rubbed her arm.
"Hmm? Looks like you all ran into quite a bit of trouble." Makarov said, causing Lucy's face to sadden.
"Don't look so sad Luce!" A cheery voice called out from Behind Lucy. The blonde celestial spirit mage slowly turned around and saw Levy, Jet, and Droy. All members of Team Shadow Gear were heavily bandaged. "It's a victory! We all fought together to achieve it!"
"Although, our guild kinda got smashed," Droy commented with a light chuckle.
"Ah, we can just rebuild it." Jet said, smiling sheepishly.
"You guys…" Lucy said as regret filled her eyes.
"Sorry for making you worry," Levy said, causing Lucy to tear up.
"N-No...it's my..." Lucy was quickly cut off by Levy.
"I heard the whole story, and no one blames you for any of this, Luce," Levy said as Lucy began to violently shake her head.
"Lucy." Makarov's stern voice suddenly rang out. "Happiness. Sadness. We can't share all out it, but we can share some of it. That is guild. One member's happiness is everyone's happiness. One member's rage is everyone's rage. One member's tears are everyone's tears." Lucy began to get choked up as she listened to Makarov's speech. "You don't have to suffer from guilt, we're all here for you. Please raise your head, for you are a pound member of Fairy Tail." That finally did, tears finally began to pour from Lucy's eyes. The blonde collapsed to her knees and covered her face with her hands.
Slowly, Nick crouches down with her, patting her back slowly, causing her to embrace him, in which he responded back. Follow by Natsu, Erza, Mira, Gray, Rocky, Happy and the rest, everyone comforting her.
Let this be a lesson for you all; You mess with one of the family, you mess with all the family!

"...Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!" The master suddenly began to cry as well, "You all made a mess this time! I won't hear the end of the Council! Waaaaah!"
