Made it in time to post the new chapter! I actually managed to finish it a day early. So tada! Not much to say, so let's head straight to the reviews.

Z2010Deadmeat: Oh. My. God. I actually did NOT think of that. You know how that crazy that would be? Damn, I'm just wondering how that'd actually work in my head at the moment...LOL. But, he Could teach them as the CAC has seen what the fusion dance is, and could likely teach it. But it's a thought. Anyway, thanks for liking my story so far! Hope you enjoy this one!

Guest Reviewer "fairy saiyan": Y'know, A while back I think I accused you of being psychic. Are you sure you aren't one? Lol anyway, I don't see Mystogan having the time to stay and learn it. While it Is helpful, I doubt we'll see any more interaction with anyone from Edolas in the future.

Guest Reviewer "naru": For Beerus and Whis, I'll only say that I Do have plans for them.

Guest Reviewer "Ginger spice 547": Starts at Episode 42.

Dr4g0nb411z: Thanks! Here it is LOL.

So, a bunch of things happen in this chapter. So I hope ya'll enjoy.

"HAAA!" Yusuke shouted as he punched the invisible wall. The entire guildhall shook from the impact.

"Stop it boy! You'll damage the girls at this rate!" Makarov chided.

"Damnit, there has to be a way…!"

"This sucks! I wana go out there and fight!" Natsu shouted. Happy was playfully flying around going in and out of the entrance of the guild.

Just then more writing appeared in midair.

Time remaining: 2:18

Contestants Remaining: 42

Over half an hour had passed since Laxus has announced the "Battle of Fairy Tail." During that time it was shown other members fighting amongst each other with no choice as Freed's runes kept them trapped unless the last mage was standing so they can progress.

Natsu had regained consciousness as well and was about to join in on the fighting, but mysteriously found himself to be blocked from the entrance as well. He definitely used magic, and he didn't look he was over eighty years old. So it was unknown to those present as to why he couldn't get through. Shortly before, the Master of the Guild spotted Reedus hiding behind a pillar, and has instructed him to head to their guild's healer, Porlyusica, out in the forest of Magnolia.

A minute later, more writing appeared on the invisible wall.

Elfman vs. Evergreen

Victor: Evergreen

Contestants Remaining: 41

Gray vs. Bickslow

Victor: To be determined

Reedus vs. Freed

Victor: Freed

Contestants Remaining: 40

"...that doesn't look good." Yusuke commented.

"They got Reedus…" Makarov grimaced.

"Having fun old geezer?" They heard Laxus' voice say. Everybody turned around to see his projection appear in the middle of the room. "Didn't expect to see you here Natsu, what's the hold up?"

"Shut up! When I get outta here…!" Natsu shouted.

"All these 'brats' of yours gramps are going down one by one. And with Natsu and Erza stuck, there's really no hope for the Thunder God Tribe to be defeated." Laxus looked over at the Saiyan and smirked. "As well as that punk over there."

"Piss off you coward." Yusuke spat out, glaring at the blonde.

"With everything as it is, you might as well surrender gramps! How bout it?" Laxus suggested.

"Don't forget about Gray! He's just as strong as Natsu is!" Happy exclaimed.

"Him?! That stripper?! Hell no!" Natsu exclaimed.

'Happy does have a point...they're pretty equal…' Yusuke idly thought.

"Hah! You think that kid's got what it takes to take one of them down?!" Laxus cackled. Everybody heard a ping, and looked at the invisible barrier blocking their path.

Gray vs. Bickslow

Victor: Bickslow

Contestants remaining: 28

"Hahaha! Just like I said! Looks like Gray's out for good now!" Laxus laughed. "Now who do you think is going to beat the Thunder God Tribe now eh?"

"There's still Gajeel!" Happy exclaimed.

'Wait a minute...I don't sense him out there...instead…' Yusuke looked to the side where the bar was.

"Him? Haha! He doesn't even care about the guild! How pitiful!" Laxus said.

"Yeah well there's still me!" Natsu shouted.

"Hahaha! You can't even do anything being stuck in here!"

"Enough…" Makarov muttered. Everybody looked at him as he turned around to face his grandson. "I surrender...so please stop all of this Laxus…"

"Hold up…" Yusuke started.

"Gramps!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Hehe...Hahahaha! That won't do you old geezer! How about this, give me the position as the Master of Fairy Tail then we got ourselves a deal!" Laxus proclaimed.

"That's playing dirty Laxus!"

"Are you serious…?" The Saiyan snarled.

"Laxus...is this what you were after?!" Makarov demanded with veins popping out of his forehead.

"There's only so much time left until those girls crumble...so I suggest you make your final decision soon...Hahahahaha!" Laxus cackled. "The sooner, the better gramps! Just tell the whole town that you're giving up your position over to your dear old grandson! Think on it old man. What's more important; your status, or your friends?"

"You bastard!" Natsu shouted, charging at the blonde, forgetting that he's a simple projection. The dragon slayer went right through him and crashed into a pillar, therefore leaving them alone once again. He got up and rubbed his face. "He thinks that he can just be the Master of the guild like that?! Gramps! You're not going to go through with this are you?!"

"...No. While I don't mind giving up the position...I can't rely on Laxus to take my spot. He's lacking in the conviction and heart to do so…" Makarov answered.

"Y'know...since Gajeel was mentioned...I don't sense him out there." Yusuke pointed out.

"Huh?! Then where is he?!" Natsu asked.

Just then, they heard noises coming from behind the bar, and everybody looked towards that direction. A moment later, the Iron Dragon Slayer came popping out from behind the counter, with several metal spoons and forks in his mouth.

"...there." The Saiyan answered.

"You were right!" Happy said.

"Gajeel…" Makarov said.

"Gihi, since Salamander and that Guy over there are stuck, then I might try my luck against that lightning bastard." Gajeel said with a smirk, walking past the four. He went to walk out of the guild, but shocked everyone as he couldn't get through as well.

"Okay, what the hell." Yusuke commented.

"Gajeel?! Are you over eighty?!" Natsu shouted.

"Hell no!" Gajeel answered back.

"Just what is going on…" Makarov muttered.


Time Remaining: 1:19

Contestants Remaining: 3

"...just three left…?" Happy said.

"...I think that's...just me, Natsu, and Gajeel…" Yusuke said.

More time had passed and the group trapped within the guildhall could only helplessly watch as more and more of their guild members reduced in numbers. Now, only three remained.

"Huh? How can you be so sure?" Gajeel asked.

"I just have a sixth sense. And I can tell you that I don't feel any more battles going on out there, and those three from that 'Tribe' or whatever are the ones left out there including that bastard Laxus." The Saiyan answered.

"Fine, fine...I guess I'll just have to revive Erza!" Natsu suggested. Hearing this, Yusuke slowly turned his head towards the Fire Dragon Slayer with raised eyebrows.

"You're going to what…?"

"Revive Erza." Natsu replied innocently.

"And just how the hell are you going to 'revive' her?"

"Simple. I burn off the stones. It should come off, right?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"No, just no. Natsu, that's not going to work. The stone just doesn't 'come off'!" Yusuke exclaimed.

"We won't know until we try right?" Natsu replied with his grin, and started to walk towards the stage where all seven girls were at. Facepalming, the Saiyan followed him along with everyone else. He arrived at the stage and set the statue of Erza gently on the floor, and ignited his hands.

"Natsu stop! That's not going to do anything! At most your flames will just make the stone crack!"

True to the Saiyan's words, when the Fire mage's hands were near her, she started to crack at her forehead.

"Ahhh!" Natsu screeched, pulling away instantly.

"Natsu!" Makarov shouted.

"Quick! Use my iron to fix her Salamander!" Gajeel exclaimed.

"Argh you idiot!" Yusuke crouched down and pulled Natsu away from the knight. He looked back down to see more cracks appear on Erza. Sweat dripped down from his face. "...not good…"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Natsu begged, while bowing down on the floor over and over again.

A moment later, the whole statue cracked. All of the stone chipped away and revealed a confused, but safe, Erza.

"H-Huh…?" Erza muttered. She looked up to see the Saiyan crouched down and looking at her. The redhead blushed instantly at the position they were in.

"...I-It's not like what it looks like Erza!" Yusuke shouted, his face going red.

"I-It's fine Yusuke...I've been hearing what has been going on…" Erza said lifting herself up, her blush still present. Both of them stood up, not wanting the awkward atmosphere to go any longer.

"How…?" The Old man asked.

"I'm...not sure...maybe it has something to do with my right eye?" Erza said while bringing her hand to her face.

"I see…!"

'...That's right...during her time at the tower…' Yusuke thought with a frown. He pushed the thoughts away and looked at her. "You said you've been hearing what's been going on? Do you know of our current problem then?"

"Yes. I should be able to help out." The redhead answered. "And with me being able to participate, there should be four remaining now."

It was only for a few moments of what Erza said was true. The count of the members that were available to fight were shown as "4." However…

Contestants Remaining: 5

Everybody moving looked to see that the number count increased.

"Five…?" The Saiyan said confusingly. He narrowed his eyes in concentration as he sensed anyone apart from the Thunder God Tribe and Laxus with higher than the average human. he widened his eyes as he felt someone familiar enter the city.

"Their still frozen so...who…?" Happy asked as he glanced back at the six remaining stone statues.

"I felt this person once before…"

"Ufufu, I know. Another person that can be called as one of the strongest in our guild. Mystogan." Erza answered with a smirk.

"Mystogan?!" Happy exclaimed.

"He's back?!" Natsu asked.

"Who's he…?" Gajeel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We need to move as soon as possible. Erza, are you able to fight?" Makarov asked.

"Of course Master." The Titania replied, and was about to head out, but turned her head towards Yusuke. "Can you really not get out?"

"I'm sure I can if I wanted to, but I don't want to risk any of them being hurt." The Saiyan said pointing at the statues. "Until then, unless that Evergreen woman is taken care of, I'm stuck here."

"Then I will try to find her first."

"Hope the weights haven't slowed you down." He said with a smirk.

"Ufu, it'll take more than that." She replied with her own smirk. She turned towards the entrance and started running. "I'll be going then."

"Make it fast!" Yusuke called out. She heard him and quietly chuckled to herself.


"...where is she?" Erza uttered looking around. Her instinct made her look up to see golden needles heading down towards her. The redhead dodged the incoming attack, and looked up again to see the one who was responsible for her immobility for a while on top of a building.

"I do wonder how you managed to free yourself from my spell." Evergreen shouted from above. "Though it doesn't matter. You'll be put down here anyway."

"Evergreen…"

"Hmph. I should be the one called the Queen of Fairies, Titania. Not you." Evergreen spread out her arms, and golden dust started to flow down.

FAIRY BOMB: GREMLIN!

Erza widened her eyes and jumped in the air away from the golden dust as it lit up, and exploded a second later. She requipped swords in both her hands, and flew towards Evergreen to slash at her.

The green attired woman dodged the redhead's attacks just in time, and flew away from the knight with her magic, but Erza didn't let up and followed after her, almost catching up to her speed.

"Since when can you fly without the help of your armor?!" Evergreen shouted.

"Doesn't matter! Once I defeat you then everything will be over!" Erza shouted back.

"We'll see about that!" Evergreen lifted up her glasses and her eyes shined from the use of her magic, trying to petrify Erza.

"That won't work anymore!" Erza closed her left eye and kept watch of her opponent with her right. Igniting her aura, she gained speed and caught up with Evergreen. She was above her in a few seconds, and Erza swung her swords down, and made contact. Evergreen grunted in pain as she felt the blow from the blunt of the knight's swords but regained her balance and flew away from her.

"Tch, I wasn't aware your eye was artificial...well then, take this!" The glasses wearing woman crossed her arms, and a few moments later uncrossed them with golden dust around her.

FAIRY MACHINE GUN: LEPRECHAUN!

Multiple piercing lights came shooting out towards Erza, who narrowed her eyes. Raising her Ki, she started to swing at the beams with her swords, all the while letting out a force that parried more of Evergreen's attacks before they neared the redhead. Eventually, when Erza was close enough, she swiftly swung one her swords, hoping to damage the Fairy Mage user. She smirked as a part of Evergreen's dress was torn horizontally.

"Nng…!" Evergreen glared at her, and hastily flew away from the redhead.

Following after her, Erza kept her aura up and kept dodging Evergreen's attacks rather easily. She was once again above Evergreen as she caught up with her, and landed a blow to the brown-haired woman with the unsharpened side of her sword.

"Guh!" Evergreen yelped as the force from the knight's attack made her crash down to a building. She tried to get up, but when she fully stood on her feet, she felt herself being forced back, and pinned against a wall. Erza had come just in time, and threw the two swords she held in her hands at the Fairy User mage so that it pierced the sleeves of her outfit up against the wall of the building. The redhead slowly made her ways towards her.

"If you wish to call yourself the Titania you're free to do so. I don't even know where the name came from in first place, nor do I care. What I do care however, is you freeing the others from their prison." Erza demanded.

"Ufufu..Ahahahaha! There's just one thing about my power that you didn't know Erza...And it's controlling the movements of those under my spell! So I command you to strip yourself naked and prostrate yourself in front of me! Otherwise the other woman will crumble to dust if you don't!" Evergreen ordered with a wicked grin.

"..." Erza narrowed her eyes, and her body glowed in a bright later a moment later. When it died down, it revealed the knight in her Heaven's Wheel Armor along with almost one hundred swords floating behind her.

"E-Eh…? H-Huh?!" Evergreen blinked rapidly in surprise.

"Very well. If you feel that is the best course of action, then so be it. I will avenge those who have fallen." Erza glared at the pinned woman and she let her aura glowed brightly, letting out winds from where she stood, and the ground beneath them cracked.

"A-A-AAAAAAAAHHH! AH-MMF!" Evergreen screeched but was silenced by a metal fist.

"...and that is how you bluff." The redhead off-handedly said.

"I-I-I...I surrender…"

"Ufu, that should help the others, giving us an advantage. Now then...time to find him and end this…" Erza requipped back to her Heart-Kreuz armor and looked back at Evergreen.


Time Remaining: 1:14

Erza vs. Evergreen

Victor: Erza

*CRACK*

Everybody inside the guildhall looked back at the stage, and were relieved to see that all the girls are back to normal.

"H-Huh…?" Lucy muttered.

"What...what was Juvia doing again…?" Juvia confusingly asked.

"What the…" Bisca said.

"...what's going on?" Levy asked looking around.

"Alright! Erza did it!" Natsu shouted.

"Lucy~!" Happy rocketed towards her, hugging the blonde.

"I think it's time for a counterattack." Yusuke said with a smirk.

"Not necessary boy...remember with the girls free Laxus has no way of control anymore." The elderly master said.

"Yusuke, Master, what is going on?" Mira asked walking up to them.

The next few minutes, all six of the imprisoned girls were explained by the ones who were stuck inside the guildhall the events that has been happening ever since Laxus and his trio of bodyguards came.

"The battle of Fairy Tail…?" Lucy asked.

"He actually pulled off something ridiculous like this?" Cana disbelievingly said.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Since you girls have are no longer statues Laxus has to put an end to this now." Makarov said.

"I don't think so old geezer." Laxus' voice ringed out. Everybody looked to see the runes that were set up reacting, and soon the runes itself started floating towards the middle of the room, forming a large skull. "Considering that this is only one small setback, I've decided to set up a new rule. As of now, the Thunder Palace has now been activated!"

"The Thunder Palace…?!"

"There's only an hour and ten minutes left, think you can defeat us before then? Or will you resign in being the Master? Ahahahaha!" The runes dissipated, and Laxus' presence soon left the building.

"What are you thinking...Laxus?! Are you actually going to involve the innocents into this?!" Makarov cried out. His eyes soon widened and he clutched his chest.

"Hey...Old Man?" Yusuke worriedly called out, feeling that his energy was waning.

"Nnggh…!" Makarov soon fell to the floor, and his eyes slowly closed to an unconscious state.

"Gramps!" Natsu cried out.

"Master?!" Lucy called out.

"This is bad...he needs his medication!" Mira exclaimed, running to the back of the building.

"Not good...his energy signature is out of place…" The Saiyan said bent down near the Master, observing.

"Master! Get a hold of yourself!" Levy called out.

"At this rate…" Bisca started.

"Everybody!" Mira called out a distance away from them. Everybody turned their heads to see her holding a jar of medications. "You need to come outside and look! It's not a good situation…"

Soon most of them ran upstairs of the guildhall to go to the balcony. Mira had stayed behind and helped their Master to the infirmary. The one's outside looked up towards the near sky to see several sphere shaped lacrimas with a spiked metal band wrapped around them with electricity crackling around them, hovering in the air.

"...is this that Thunder Palace he was talking about?" The Saiyan asked.

"It must be...but with all of these thunder lacrima…" Cana started. Sweat dripped down her brow. "It could level the whole city if their discharged…"

"What…?!"

"Not if I'm here!" Bisca said. She held out her hand and requipped a sniper rifle. "I'll take care of these right now!"

She went on one knee and propped the rifle, aiming at one of the orbs with her eye's on the scope.

"Target: Locked on!" Bisca called out. She closed one eye to clear her eyesight.

STINGER SHOOT!

Bisca fired off her rifle, and the bullet beelined towards the aimed thunder lacrima. It hit dead on, destroying the orb.

"Alright!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Nice going Bisca!" Cana complimented.

"Just leave these to-A-Ahh!" Bisca cried out as she was soon painfully engulfed in lightning. It was only for a few seconds before it died out and she fell to the floor unconscious.

"Bisca!" Levy cried out.

"What the hell just happened?" Yusuke asked.

"Living Link Magic…" Cana answered. She gritted her teeth in frustration. "These lacrima are enchanted with a form of magic that link any damage done to it back to the attacker...putting it simply if we destroy those things we'll get attacked as well."

"Tch. How annoying…" Yusuke muttered. He looked over to the unconscious green-haired woman being held by Levy. 'Still...if it's only that amount done to a human like her...it shouldn't be a problem to me then.'

The Saiyan walked up to the railing near Natsu and opened his hand. He gathered Ki inside his palm, letting it charge.

"Uh...New Guy?" Natsu asked.

"Yusuke...what are you doing?" Cana asked.

"Just wana test something." Yusuke replied with a smirk. He threw his arm back and shot it forward a moment later, releasing an energy wave towards one of the lacrima, and destroyed it.

"I-Idiot! I just said that if you destroy one of them then you'll get hit as well!" Cana yelled. The Saiyan brushed her off and readied himself by crossing his arms. A moment later lightning covered his body just like what it had done with Bisca. His eyes were closed, waiting for it to be over. When it did a few seconds later, the gray jacket he wore soon fell off his person, smoking, and revealed himself in his black tank top and light bandages he still had from a few days before.

"Well that wasn't so bad…" Yusuke muttered as he uncrossed his arms, unscathed. He then frowned in thought. 'If my energy attack was able to go through the barrier...then forcing myself out with Ki blasts won't work…'

"H-Huh…?" Cana uttered confusingly.

"I guess I can stand up to the attack. But...I'm going to need to get out of here if I want to destroy all of them. And with the barrier that guy set up with his runes, I'm still stuck."

"Runes…? Then...I might be able to help." Levy spoke up.

"That's right...you use Solid Script magic Levy. You should be able to rewrite the runes on the barrier and get them out of here." Cana said with hope.

'...I could just break out of here with raw strength though…' Yusuke thought looking out in the distance. He then looked back to the petite blue-haired teen. 'Well then again, it's magic, and they use it while I don't. Looks like I'll be sitting by the side again…'

"Levy, do your best to get them out of here. I'll try to find Laxus in the meantime and see if I can stop him before then…" Cana said running out.

"It's not as if I don't trust you guys but...to be safe I'll try and evacuate the citizens away from the city." Lucy said running out next with Happy following just behind her. After her, Juvia left as well, joining in on the fray and to help out her new guildmates.

"...Wait!" Yusuke called out. But when he turned around he saw that they were already gone. "Damnit…"

"What's wrong?' Natsu asked.

"If they're really going to try and go after him, I was going to tell them where he was."

"What...using that sixth sense of yours?" Gajeel asked.

"Yeah. In the direction that I felt him, it was over there." The Saiyan replied pointing his finger towards a church.

"Kardia Cathedral…?" Levy asked.

"I guess?"

"Gah! I wana get out of now then!" Natsu cried out.

"Hey shrimp...think you can get working on this damn wall?" Gajeel asked Levy.

"What's with that name…" The petite teen pouted. "Fine, I'll get to working right now."

'...Might have been best if I didn't tell them though...They weren't strong enough anyway…' Yusuke thought idly with a sigh. He picked up Bisca gently bridal style and went back inside with both of the dragon slayers and the solid script mage. He walked to the infirmary with the woman in his hands, and caught sight of Mirajane near Makarov's bed while the other three went downstairs with Levy getting books to crack the barrier and with Gajeel and Natsu idly minding their own business.

"Yusuke." Mira said turning around. The Saiyan walked over to a nearby bed and set the gunwomen down.

"How's the Old Man?" He asked.

"He's okay for now but...if it gets any worse we'll need to get Porlyusica to check him…" Mira worriedly said. Yusuke noticed the saddened look in her eyes as she looked down.

"Hey...you alright?"

"I'm...just worried about Elfman…"

"He's a tough guy. I know he's fine."

"I'll believe that then. But...I plan on heading out and finding him."

"Well, at least let me point you in the right direction then."

They both headed out of the infirmary leaving Makarov and Bisca to rest. They arrived at the entrance of the guild, and saw that Levy was working diligently with books on the floor with Gajeel observing her, and Natsu forcefully trying to break his way out by punching the invisible wall. He turned to see both Yusuke and Mira.

"Mira?" Natsu asked.

"I'm going to go out there to try and find Elfman." The barmaid replied.

"He's over in that direction. I'm sure you'll find him soon enough if you fly over there." Yusuke said pointing to where he sensed her younger brother.

"Thank you Yusuke...I'll see you soon." Mira said smiling at him. She was about to head out until the Saiyan's hand rested on her shoulders.

"Stay safe...alright?"

Mira stared at him wide-eyed and blinked. She came to her senses and smiled softly at him again, and stepped forward to hug him. A blush crossed their faces at the close proximity.

"I will...don't worry." She replied while biting her lip. Mira let go of him and flew away from the building, now letting a few tears roll down her face.

'You're such a pathetic person Mirajane…even with all that work...' The barmaid thought scolding herself.


Time Remaining: 0:32

Lucy vs. Bickslow

Victor: Lucy

"Just barely…" Yusuke muttered from a chair, sensing the outcome of the match in the distance.

"Yeah! Lucy did it!" Natsu cheered.

"That...cheerleader?!" Gajeel exclaimed.

"Hell yeah!"

"That wouldn't make any sense…"

"Ah! That's it!" Levy exclaimed.

"You figured something out there?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes! I just needed to go through deciphering the two separate grammars at different rates! if I do go through the text mapping the characters with corresponding frequency into guild grammar, and then convert that into rogue…" Levy trailed off while excitedly scribbling on the book she had in front of her.

'...what the hell did she just say?' Yusuke thought with raised eyebrows.

"Got it!" The petite girl stood up triumphantly and walked over to the rune barrier.

"You did?!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Just wait a little longer you guys…soon you'll partake in the Battle of Fairy Tail." Levy said looking back at the three with a fierce look on her face.

"Hell yeah!"

"Time to go wild, Gihi!" Gajeel snickered.

"Heh, I've been itching to get out of here. About time." Yusuke said with a smirk and standing up.


"Sis...you don't have to do this. I can walk on my own…" Elfman pleaded.

"It's...the least I could do…" Mira said.

The barmaid had found her younger sibling laying on the ground in front of a ruined building, and she rushed towards him with a worried expression. Seeing Elfman in the condition he was in, she couldn't help but well up more tears in her eyes and reluctantly let them flow down her face, scolding herself even further that she couldn't do anything to help.

As of now, they were going to go back to the guild to have Elfman rested. Until the stone bridge in front of them broke down, revealing a heavily injured Cana.

"It's over…" Freed announced atop of the bridge.

"You scum! Take back what you said about Juvia being a Phantom Girl this instant!" Cana roared, struggling to get up from the rubble.

"Hmph." Freed, with his sword unsheathed, made a gesture of swiping his arm to the side while holding his weapon, and created runes on the Card mage.

"A-AAAAAAGH!" Cana was forced to clutch her throat, and screamed in agony. It stopped a few moments later and she fell back, unconscious.

"Freed!" Mira called out.

"Damn…" Elfman grunted, allowing himself off of her older sister and approaching Freed.

"You've lost to Ever, Elfman. You have no right to be able to participate any longer." Freed said.

"Stop this at once Freed! Aren't we guildmates?!" Mira asked.

"We were, once. But in order to rebuild the guild from the ground up, Laxus' enemies are my enemies."

"Enough!" Elfman leaped up and charged at Freed.

"Elfman!" Mira cried out.

Freed simply huffed. His right eye glowed purple and dodged the brute's incoming punch and swiped his sword against the Take Over mage's chest, creating runes.

"H-Huh…?" Elfman muttered.

"Those who are out of the game are forbidden to join back...you are no exception, and you will face a consequence worse than death. These characters will become your reality and senses."

Dark Ecriture: Pain.

"G-GAAAAAAAHAH!" Elfman cried out, clutching his head.

"Freed! Please stop! Elfman can't take it!" Mira pleaded, but was ignored by the Rune Mage as he swiped his sword once again towards Elfman.

Dark Ecriture: Fear.

He swiped it in another direction. While Elfman writhed in pain even more.

Dark Ecriture: Suffering.

"A-AAHA! NNAGAHHH!" Elfman went on his knees as his cries kept going.

'...I...I need to do...something…!' Mira frantically thought with tears at the corner of her eyes.

Dark Ecriture: Death.

Mirajane widened her eyes.

'Death…?' Mirajane thought. Her breathing suddenly hitched.

"Mira…" Lisanna's voice echoed through her head. The ground under her cracked violently, her hair flowed up, and her body glowed in a bright light.

"...!" Freed turned around to look back on the ground where the barmaid was and silently gasped to himself, forgetting about Elfman in that moment. "What...what is this power…?"

"A-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mirajane snapped, and felt power flowing through her.

And she let it all out.


"Huh…?" Yusuke snapped his head towards the direction where he felt a spike in power from someone familiar. 'Is that...Mira…?'

He was currently in the sky, about to take care of the thunder lacrima all around town as he, Natsu, and Gajeel was now free from the prison within the guildhall. Levy had finished reconstructing the runes of the barrier that trapped the three, and told them that because Freed's magic was still active in Magnolia, it was best that they went in different directions. Knowing that Laxus was at Kardia Cathedral, Natsu went straight towards the church. Gajeel followed the blue-haired teen's advice and went in a different direction as well, but wasn't exactly heading to the church immediately from what the Saiyan felt.

Curiosity getting the better of him, he decided to check up on where Mirajane was, and flew towards her direction, ignoring the Thunder Palace in the meantime.

When he arrived at the broken down stone bridge, he spotted Elfman and Cana on the ground. Still in the air, he looked around to see any sign of the white-haired barmaid.

DARKNESS STREAM!

The Saiyan turned his head towards the raise in power, and saw two figures in the sky. One was shooting out streams of dark magic while the other was trying to dodge with makeshift wings behind him.

The one Yusuke saw who was attacking had white hair flowing upward, defying gravity. She had a tail whipping around, her hand and forearms covered in a scale-like skin and wore a pair of golden-brown gauntlets. She wore a revealing dark pink one-piece suit showing off her arms and legs, which is open on the front and the back, exposing most of her stomach, wide cleavage and upper back. Finishing off her appearance, wings with gray webbings and black stems were grown out of her back.

"Holy shit is that really Mira?" Yusuke disbelievingly said.

Freed was fleeing from the she-demon as fast as he could, but it was in vain as Mira had easily caught up with him and elbowed him straight down. Not stopping there, she descended quickly enough to punch him right in the gut, sending him away. The sword wielder regained his balance and flew up away from her.

"Tch...I may be forbidden doing this but...the only way to take out a demon is with another!" Freed announced. He swiped his sword across in the air, and runes appeared on him.

DARK ECRITURE: DARKNESS!

Freed was engulfed in his own dark magic, and soon his appearance changed as well. The clothes on his upper body was gone, and he grew slightly in size. His skin turned gray, and horns were now present above his head, seemingly wrapped on his now wild green hair. The sclera on his right eyes stayed in an indigo color while his other one was normal, and fangs were now formed on his teeth.

The She-devil came closing in with a punch at high speed, and the transformed Freed countered with his own punch. Both fists connected, resulting in a shockwave and the land surrounding them crumbled away.

'...That guy powered up as well but...Mira is still stronger by a long shot...just what happened?' Yusuke thought in amazement as he watched the ongoing battle.

Both demons kept exchanging blows against each other, but it was clear that Mira was gaining the upper hand against Freed, and proved it by landing a direct hit against him in the face. Thinking that this was the perfect opportunity and to put her training to good use, she immediately raised her Ki allowing a white aura surrounded her person. She phased out and appeared above Freed with a glare, and hammered him with her fists together, making him crash into a cave. Mira followed after him, and upon reaching inside she hovered above him with her glare at him still intact.

'Is this really the demon Mirajane from back then…?!' Freed thought in slight fear. He stood up and narrowed his eyes. "I can't lose…!"

DARKNESS BREATH!

The spot around Freed erupted and he let out violent winds, forming a large twister that made the cave that they were in crumble to the ground while hitting Mirajane. She crossed her arms in front of her to defend herself, but the Rune mage was soon in front of her with his hands near her.

DARKNESS FLARE BOMB!

A sphere-like bomb of dense magic was formed inside his hands and he thrusted it at the female demon, making her crash into the waters of the river.

"...did that do it?" Freed muttered.

"She's bringing out more of her power again…" Yusuke commented to himself as he was still watching the ongoing bout under him. He looked below as the water started swirling around, and soon revealed the Demon Take-Over mage spinning, controlling the water around her to her will.

"Just...how much magic power does she have?!" Freed exclaimed.

EVIL EXPLOSION!

Mira thrusted her arms towards Freed, and a torrent of water went straight at him. He managed to dodge by flying out of the way.

"HAAH!" Mira's palms glowed with Ki and she released multiple Ki blasts by throwing her arms at the green-haired demon. Most made contact against Freed as each blast that hit him would produce smoke around his person. She flew up and gathered a large amount of her own magic power in between the palm of her hands. Freed came out of the smoke with scratches on his body just in time to witness another attack from the She-demon.

SOUL EXTINCTION!

In an instant, she extended her arms forward towards Freed and a large blast of dark magic came shooting out from Mira and soon covered her opponent.

"G-GAAAAH!" Freed cried out. A large explosion was seen throughout Magnolia as her attack made contact, and Freed was seen crashing to the ground, now back to his normal appearance.

"She's just full of surprises…" The Saiyan muttered. He looked to see Mirajane descending to the ground, and then straight towards the defenseless mage. Thinking she had done enough, he phased out.

"Freed!" Mirajane roared out with her arm hooked back. She was halfway near him until Yusuke had appeared in between them and caught her arm within his hand. She gasped silently to herself and looked to see the black-haired teen with a small smile on him.

"I...think that's enough Mira. You've won." Yusuke said softly. A few moments passed as they looked at each other, and the white-haired demon soon looked down on the ground and her body reverted back into her normal form.

"I didn't win...there shouldn't be any at all in a fight that's meaningless…" Mira said.

"You...should just finish me...I don't need your pity…" Freed said behind them.

"You're part of Fairy Tail aren't you?" Yusuke asked turning around to look at him. "There shouldn't be any need to so to a comrade."

"The only comrade I have is Laxus!"

"That can't be true...can it Freed?" Mira asked walking next to Yusuke. "...you still have everyone in the guild...it's not bad to cling to one person all the time but...there's still those around you. Who care for you…"

Freed's eyes were shadowed by his green hair. He gritted his teeth and his body shook. A few sniffles can be heard from him.

"It's when people realize how lonely it is on their own...that they start to become kind." The barmaid sweetly said.

'Being kind when on your own huh…?' Yusuke thought with his eyes closed. The downed man brought a hand to his face to wipe away tears that he couldn't control.

"I...I never wanted to do this in the first place…" Freed choked out.

Both Yusuke and Mira smiled softly at him, along with Cana and Elfman, who was carrying an unconscious Juvia, that had arrived behind them. Up on the sky, more runes were seen.

Mirajane vs. Freed

Both have lost the will to fight.

"Well, that settles that I guess…" Yusuke said.

"I just noticed...you're out of the guild…" Mira commented.

"Levy managed to break the barrier. I was about to do something about those lacrima in the sky, but...your battle pretty much caught my full attention."

"But...there's still a time limit on them right?"

"..."

"Yusuke…?"

"Ah...damnit. You're right...I forgot all about that…" The Saiyan scolded himself, facepalming. He looked back to see the floating orbs. "I'm sure I still have time to take them all out."

"W-Wait…!" Freed called out. "You...don't plan on destroying all of them do you…?'

"That Is the plan." Yusuke stated.

"But...all by yourself…?! Even one of them can endanger your life!"

"Yusuke I have to agree with him...and with your bandages…" Mira said.

"Well, that's not going to stop me. I'm going to take out all of them at once. Honestly, if that bastard is really determined on involving the whole city then I might as well prove to him that he can't." Yusuke said.

"I can kinda vouch for him...I guess…" Cana said walking up to them with Elfman trailing behind her.

"What do you mean?" Freed asked.

"He took one of those thunder lacrima out and managed to come out okay is what I'm saying. Though I can't say the same for his jacket…" Cana answered.

"Yeah...my jacket…" The Saiyan sighed.

"Then...you can't expect to come out of this okay if you try to destroy all of them then…The best thing to do is try and take Laxus out!" Freed said.

"And, you never know until we try. You're not going to convince me otherwise."

'Why is he so confident…' Freed thought as he looked at him disbelievingly.

"Now, how much time do we have left?"

"Roughly...nine minutes."

"Oh, really? That's more than enough time then." Yusuke turned around and started walking.

"You're...serious about this?"

"Oh my god, it's as if I haven't said it enough. Yes, I'm dead serious." The Saiyan started to float up. "I'll see you guys later. If you see a bunch of lights coming from the middle of the town...well, just know that that's me."

A second later he flew away from the group, that was slightly dumbfounded, and flew into the middle of the city.

"Okay...with everyone else out of commission...it really is just me." Yusuke said to himself as he looked side to side at the floating orbs. With the time that he had, he started counting how many lacrima were around the city. "...One...two...three…"


"...two-hundred ninety seven...and two-hundred ninety eight...okay that's...actually quite a bit…" Yusuke muttered to himself. "Well, shouldn't be a problem either way. I hope…Good thing there's only a couple of minutes left as well."

The Saiyan raised his Ki as white aura glowed around him for all of the people in the city to see. His black hair swayed back and forth from the winds he produced from the spot where he stayed afloat. He brought his left arm overhead with his hand open.

'Focus...focus…' The Saiyan clenched his teeth in concentration, and his Ki rose higher.

"...Fire." Yusuke uttered with a smirk.

In a burst of light multiple golden beams of light shot out from the palm of his left hand towards the sky. It arched to a certain point before heading straight down to all of the floating thunder lacrimas. One by one, all of the orbs shattered by one of the Saiyan's beams.

Over at Kardia Cathedral, Erza was just about to head out after stating she would take care of the Thunder Palace, but was halted as she, Natsu, and Laxus looked at the ongoing lights that were flying in the middle of the air, and that each one was colliding with the thunder lacrima.

"They're...all being destroyed…" Erza quietly said.

"That punk…!" Laxus gritted his teeth with veins forming around his face.

"New Guy...he better make it…" Natsu said.

Over in the distance where Mirajane, Elfman; who was still holding on to the unconscious Juvia, Cana and Freed were observing as each beams made contact with each of the thunder lacrima.

"Yusuke…" Mira silently prayed.

"Now that's a man." Elfman said with a grin.

"He's...actually doing it…" Freed muttered.

"When that guy makes it out, I need to treat him to a drink." Cana said with a grin.

All around town, the mages of Fairy Tail were looking at the lightshow being produced by the black haired teen.

Over at one part of the city, Lucy and Happy were looking up as more and more beams were being released.

"So pretty!" Happy said.

"He's doing this all by himself...is he really going to be okay?" Lucy worriedly asked.

"He's tough! We know it!"

At another part of town, Gray was running amok trying to find Warren to try and communicate with those to handle Laxus' Thunder Palace, but stopped in his tracks as he stared up at the Saiyan's energy beams crashing into each one of the thunder lacrimas.

"That guy…" Gray muttered, narrowing his eyes a bit.

A little ways from the Cathedral, Gajeel was silently observing.

"Hmph...to think he actually did it…" Gajeel said with slight praise.

A minute or so had passed as the Thunder Palace has now been obliterated. Yusuke dropped his arm and panted a bit. '...How did Majin Buu do it so easily…?' He thought.

"Oh...right. HAA!" Yusuke immediately brought up his aura again as the lightning came not a second later. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes from the impact. It lasted for over a minute before it died down, and the Saiyan relaxed. His black tank top and bandages wrapped around him now reduced to ashes. "Hehehe...wow. I...don't think I can feel my limbs."

True to his words, he tried lifting up his arms, but only managed to do so half an inch up. He then felt someone familiar coming towards him.

"Yusuke!" Erza called out flying up to him. She wasn't wearing her Heart-Kreuz armor at the moment. Instead, she wore her Thunder Empress Armor that was white armor with gold trimmings, spiked white gauntlets, white greaves that was strapped onto the front of her lower legs, and her hair was braided all the way down and leaving bangs in the front of her forehead and side of her face. In her hand was a two-pronged spear with a white ribbon tied on the blue handle.

"Hey Erza…" The Saiyan greeted sheepishly.

"Idiot…" She sighed. "What were you thinking?"

"Well, they weren't just going to destroy themselves."

"I was about to step in as well…"

"Good thing I did instead. I can't move my arms and legs. Hahaha!"

"Let's head down and rest…"

Both of them started to descend down to the ground. When they reached the stone floor, Yusuke collapsed almost immediately as his legs gave out, and his back rested on the cold ground.

"Guess I still haven't recovered fully…" Yusuke said.

"And yet, you still persist on pushing your body…" Erza lightly scolded. Her body glowed and she requipped back into her Heart-Kreuz armor.

"Wait...what about Laxus?" Yusuke started. Before the redhead could answer they heard rumbling in the distance. The Saiyan sensed that three people at the moment were present inside the church. "Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus are all fighting…"

"I should help them...Natsu insisted that I should check up on you…" Erza said.

"Then…!" Yusuke struggled to get up on his feet, feeling some tingling within his limbs. "I should join in and stop this as well...if he's still resisting even after knowing his other plan failed…"

"Are you fine like this?"

"Oh totally." He let out some Ki and started floating. "Least I'm able to do this. I don't need my arms and legs for it."

"Let's head over there then." She started to float up as well, and soon they flew away and went to Kardia Cathedral.

When they were near, they could see dust from within the building. Fire and lightning were seen constantly, and Yusuke felt that Gajeel and Natsu kept attacking Laxus.

"Feels like they're having a tough time against Laxus though…" Yusuke commented. They landed near the entrance of the Kardia Cathedral just in time to see Laxus appear out of a ball of smoke.

"Looks like we have an audience! I guess I could show you something nice…" Laxus said as the smoke around him scattered.

"New Guy! Erza!" Natsu called out. He had blood coming out of his mouth and was all scratched up. Next to him was Gajeel, who wasn't looking any better.

"Keep your focus on Laxus Natsu!" Yusuke said.

"For once, that little punk is of some use. Because I'm about to show you what a real dragon slayer is!" Laxus announced. His kept his smirk, and it was seen that his teeth were forming fangs. his shirt ripped and scale-like patterns were formed all over his arms.

"W-What…?!" Natsu exclaimed.

"That's not…!" Gajeel started.

LIGHTNING DRAGON'S ROAR!

In an instant a large force of lightning came from Laxus' mouth and was heading straight towards his two opponents, as well as the two newly arrived spectators.

"Shit!" Yusuke instinctively jumped to the side where Erza was at, and they both plummeted to the ground, narrowingly dodging Laxus' attack. When it was over, they opened their eyes to see that it was calm at the moment. The Saiyan looked down at the redhead under him. "You uh...alright?"

"Y-Yes...I'm fine. Thank you…" She replied with a blush. Yusuke quickly got off of her and made it way back to the entrance with Erza trailing behind. The dust inside the church was starting to let up, and revealed both the iron and fire dragon slayer writhing on the ground.

"What the hell…! You're all still alive?!"

"They can't get up…" Yusuke said.

"Laxus! Stop this!" Erza called out.

"You shut the hell up! Not until that old geezer gives in! I'll use all the force that I have to!" Laxus roared out. His released more of his magical power around him, and he positioned the palm of his hands each other, one facing upward while the other downward. "You can all just go to hell!"

"N-No…! Fairy Law?!" Erza exclaimed.

"Fairy Law…?" Yusuke questioned.

"It's...one of the three great Fairy spells. As far as I know, only our current Master can use it, as well as the First Master long ago...but I didn't think Laxus could as well…"

"What makes it so great?" Yusuke asked while keeping his eyes on Laxus.

"Any enemy the caster of the spell see's within their heart will be caught within it...making them receive heavy damage." Erza answered. Yusuke narrowed his eyes and took one step to intervene, but was interrupted when he felt someone close nearby. He looked to the side and saw Levy running up to them.

"What is she doing here?"

"Levy…?" Erza questioned, turning her head towards the blue-haired petite.

"Laxus! Stop this!" Levy cried out, momentarily ignoring the Saiyan and knight.

"What are you doing here?!" Gajeel exclaimed.

"The Master…" Levy choked out. "Your Grandfather Laxus! He's nearing his time…!"

Everybody widened their eyes at what Levy had just announced. Yusuke sensed to where Makarov was back at the guild.

'Shit…'

"T-The M-Master...is…" Erza managed to say.

"The Old Man's…" Natsu muttered.

"Please! Just stop this right now Laxus!" Levy shouted.

"Hehe...Hahahahaha!" Laxus bursted out laughing. "This is just perfect...it looks like I'll be filling up the position as the next Master!"

"Why, you…!" Gajeel snarled.

FAIRY LAW! ACTIVATE!

Laxus closed his hands, and the room shined brightly, and everybody covered their eyes.

'Ah, damn…' Yusuke thought as he kept his eyes closed.


Above Magnolia, high in the sky, Towa appeared out of a makeshift hole. She flew out as the rift disappeared and looked down, sensing what was transpiring down below.

"Hm...the Future Warrior looks like he's seen better days…" Towa said with a grin. She observed the bright light below, coming from the church. "A powerful attack...though it doesn't seem to be doing anything at all…"

She propped her staff horizontally, and casually sat atop of it.

"Well now, let's continue the torment, shall we? With enough practice in...I should be able to do what he did." Towa chuckled.


The light soon died down, and once again, the whole area was filled with dust.

'...huh? I'm...unharmed this time?' The Saiyan thought as he opened his eyes and blinked.

"I'm...fine?" Erza said as she opened her eyes as well and looked at her hands.

"This...this shouldn't be happening! You should all be dead!" Laxus yelled.

"From what I feel...it looks like everyone is safe in the city…" Yusuke said looking back.

"That can't be! The spell was perfect!"

"That's it...Laxus' really didn't see us as enemies…" Erza said.

"No! Anyone who gets in my way is my enemy!"

"Enough Laxus! With the Master's condition this nonsense has to stop!"

"Shut up! I don't care what happens to that old fart!" Laxus cried out as more of his power was unleashed. "I am Myself! Not his Grandson! I am Laxus! Laxus!"

"We...all know that…!" Natsu managed to say. He struggled to get up on his feet, and successfully managed to do so. "Don't get so worked up ya jerk…! It doesn't matter if you're the Master's grandson or not! Quit screaming about being a blood relative! Everybody in the guild is family!"

"Arrggh! Just what the hell do you know?!" Laxus yelled.

"Doesn't matter does it…! We're all guildmates! Comrades! We should all be helping each other understand...Don't you get it?! Laxus!" Natsu charged in with renewed vigor.

"Shut the hell up, Natsu!" Laxus countered Natsu's flaming fist with a lightning charged fist of his own, and the building inside shook from the impact. They retracted but launched once again, forming fumes from where they collided. They both then launched themselves up towards the ceiling while clashing against one another with Natsu and Laxus cloaking themselves in fire and lightning respectively.

They crashed through the roof, they criss-crossed one another exchanging kicks and punches.

"Just dissapear!" Laxus shouted as he punched Natsu.

"I'm going to stop you right here!" Natsu shouted as he retaliated with a flaming kick. "Even if the guild dies! It'll never be yours!" He launched another fiery punch towards the blond man's stomach. "Because the guild is our home to return to!"

"Rargh!" Laxus charged in with a thundering fist to the fire dragon slayer's face, making him crash to the top of the roof of the church.

"Any more of this…" Yusuke started as he watched the bout.

"Just die already Natsu!" Laxus shouted as he landed on the roof, a distance away from the pink-haired mage.

"Nng…!" Natsu gritted his teeth and used his arms to lift himself up.

"He's...going to die at this rate…!" Levy shakily said.

"Damn brat…!" Laxus lifted his arms overhead and more lightning was produced around him. "I'll make sure there's nothing of you left!"

"Laxus stop! With that amount of magical power…!" Erza yelled.

LIGHTNING DRAGON'S HALBERD!

A long spear of lightning was shot forward towards the younger man.

"Natsu!" Erza called out.

"No!" Levy cried out.

Yusuke looked up to see Gajeel, who managed to get atop of the roof they were on, forming his arm into an iron pole, and after he did so, the lightning attack that Laxus' let out was redirected from Natsu to himself. It struck him dead on, and he was forced off the roof from the impact. The Saiyan phased out and appeared behind the iron dragon slayer and caught him by the collar of his shirt.

"Go...Salamander!" Gajeel managed to say.

'Gutsy move there man...but a good one.' Yusuke thought.

"HAAAAAH!" Natsu lighted himself on fire as he poured out more magic power from his reserves.

"You…! You…!" Laxus snarled.

FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!

Natsu charged in and hit Laxus dead on with a flaming fist against his torso. With adrenaline running through him, the fire mage didn't let up.

CLAW!

Natsu swiped Laxus with a flaming foot.

WING ATTACK!

He slashed down with his arms on fire at the blond.

SWORD HORN!

He crashed into Laxus dead on with his whole body on fire.

FLAME ELBOW!

Natsu twirled his body around and elbowed the lightning mage in the face, skidding him back.

DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ART: CRIMSON LOTUS EXPLODING FLAME EDGE!

Natsu twisted his body and as he let out a barrage of flames that exploded when it made contact on Laxus, and the blond man was sent flying towards the sky. Natsu panted heavily as he went on a knee, and Laxus came crashing down on the roof, beaten.

"Kid actually did it…" Yusuke said with a smirk. 'And nothing unusual happened as well…'

"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAGH!" Natsu roared to the heavens.

Yusuke set Gajeel on the ground near where Erza and Levy were.

"Well, looks like everything's done eh?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes. Everything should go back to normal now." Erza said with a nod.

"Poor guy must be dead tired now too." The Saiyan said as he looked back to the roof to see Natsu staring at the fallen form of Laxus while still panting heavily. Just then however, Yusuke widened his eyes at a shift of energy within the lightning dragon slayer. "What the…"

"What's wrong?" Levy asked.

Before Yusuke could answer, raging thunder shot up from the roof. Yusuke gasped as he looked back, and there Laxus was standing up.

"RAAAAAAAAAGH!" Laxus roared as more lightning was emitted around him. Along with the electricity, dark purple energy swirled around him.

'I spoke too soon…' Yusuke thought with his teeth gritted together.

"He's not giving up?!" Erza exclaimed.

"Natsu! Get the hell out of there! Now!" Yusuke shouted. Natsu looked back down at him, but before anything else can happen, Laxus appeared in front of him in a flash and grabbed his throat.

"Ah-Gah!" Natsu had his eyes closed and tried to force himself away from the hold that Laxus had him in, but it only led to the blond man tightening his grip.

"Natsu!" Everybody shouted from below.

"I'm going to-" Erza started.

"HAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Yusuke charged his Ki instantly as he produced shockwaves just under him. He phased out not a moment later and appeared just behind Laxus with a roundhouse kick already being put into place. It connected to the blond's temple of the skull, and it was enough for him to let go of Natsu, and Laxus crashed to another building away from the church. The Saiyan caught an unconscious Natsu and wrapped an arm around his waist while he allowed the slayer's arms to go around his shoulder. He phased out again and appeared just in front of Erza, Levy, and Gajeel, and set the fire mage on the ground.

"Is he okay?!" Erza asked running up along with Levy and Gajeel.

"He's just knocked out." Yusuke said.

"That bastard...still trying to fight…" Gajeel said as he looked over to the building next to the cathedral. The Saiyan stood up and looked at the smoke that came from the building Laxus was in with narrowed eyes.

A moment later, more lightning erupted from within the structure as Laxus flew out of it and into the air. The Saiyan looked up to see his form, and growled quietly as he did so.

Laxus was seen being imbued with dark matter around him, and his eyes stayed red, pupiless. The outline of his eyes were highlighted with black lines. He kept his teeth clenched together and glared down at the small group of Fairy Tail members in front of Kardia Cathedral.

'...this is almost like the time when Demigra revived Frieza, Cell, and Buu...but...it doesn't seem like the controlling is complete…' The Time Patroller thought as he observed the influenced Laxus. 'Still...the power that's being emitted is greater than what it was back at that tower…'

Narrowing his eyes, Yusuke charged up his Ki and white aura glowed around him. His hair swayed as he kept growing in power.

"Yusuke…" Erza called out.

"I'll handle it from here on out." The Saiyan stated. Dust was picked up from his spot as he then flew upwards towards the blonde haired mage.

"What should we do…?" Levy asked.

"Get Natsu back to the guild. If you see anyone else along the way tell them to head back as well." Erza ordered.

"And you?" Gajeel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm staying." Erza stated as she looked up at the sky. The Script mage and Iron Dragon slayer looked at each other and helped Natsu up. The pink-haired teen's arms were wrapped around their shoulders, and both Levy and Gajeel walked away.

Yusuke arrived at the same height Laxus was at, still a far distance away. Laxus kept his line of sight at the black-haired teen with a glare while gritting his teeth.

'I may hate your guts at the moment but...you shouldn't deserve being involved with that demon…' The Saiyan solemnly thought.

"RAAAAAAGH!" Laxus roared as electricity crackled around him, and his power rose. The dark energy swirled more violently as he did so.

Yusuke's aura glowed more brightly, and he balled his right hand and positioned it near his waist and bent his knees. He raised his left arm in front of him and his left hand formed to a gesture, similar to that of a claw. His posture ready, he frowned at the Lightning dragon slayer.

"Round Two."


Cut!

Things are heating up!

So, a few changes from canon. Erza, basically finishing her fight with Evergreen a bit earlier. As for Mirajane, there wasn't much actually except a few snippets here and there. But I'll definitely improve on that in later chapters.

Honestly nothing much else for me to say...I mean, more butterfly effects happened. Though I did use one new ultimate move in this chapter, which should be pretty obvious lol. Name it.

Anyway, that's that. A Big Thank You for those reading and enjoying my fic so far. If I could, I'd give you all hot chocolate. It's getting chilly over here now lol.

Until Then.
