Don't Own Fairy Tail, or 'essences' Only The Oc

'thought'

"Speech"

"Powerful Creatures Speaking, like a dragon or a god"

"Lacrima, and Text via book or newspaper... when those are around..."

I stretch my arms above my head as I let out a yawn.

My gaze crosses the mages around the fairy tail guild's basement, Levi, Jet, and Droy are getting medical attention at the side, with Mavis tending to their wounds, the mass of phantom lord mages are tied up in the center of the room, with Jellal and Erza glaring at them from nearby.

I look to the large obsidian bottle beside me.

Well, almost all of the phantom lord mages.

Lucy is sat next to Levy and the rest of team shadow gear as Sorano and Yukino sit at the bar.

"A thought occurs." I announce to the bar as I look to the obsidian jar beside me, I see Juvia's face pressed against the side of the bottle, her breath steaming up the inside. "I think I should probably let her out because, as she is a water woman, I didn't make any air holes for her to slip out of. If I leave her inside any longer she will probably suffocate and die."

Erza's eyes widen as she stands, grabbing a pair of bulky and blocky handcuffs. "Let her out now!"

With a flick of my wrist, the top of the bottle is cleaved off.

Instantly a stream of water shoots upwards and coalesces into a woman. "My priiiiiince! I knew you would free me from my prison! I truly knew our love was meant to- eh?"

She blinks down at her hands as Erza places the manacles around her wrists.

She stares for a moment but doesn't let the sudden imprisonment get her down. "It appears Juvia has been captured... oh well!"

She takes a seat on the bench beside me and fully leans onto me. "As long as Juvia is with her beloved prince, nothing else matters!"

In the distance I hear it...

"O-Ow? Ow ow ow? Mavis ow?!"

In the corner of my eye, I can see the blonde suddenly looking over her shoulder, glaring absolutely hatefully at the blue haired water mage, her eyebrow twitches as I lean slightly away from the blue haired girl, she is tying a bandage around Droy's forearm, and seems to be tightening it beyond what she should in her quiet seething rage.

Levi looks to Mavis, then over to me, then back to Mavis, a look of realization crosses her face as she looks a little amused.

'huh? So Mavis... is attracted to me?'

The prices of several things appear, and I notice that the price of her love is extremely low... at least for me, that is.

Not quite Juvia levels, but still lower than the blue haired word mage she is sat beside.

Jeez. Those are some low standards.

The doors to the basement fling open, the sound of weak steps trail down the staircase.

Natsu stands there, panting one eye slightly clenched shut and blackened. He looks... defeated.

Everyone in the room looks over to the mage.

"We... We failed..." He hollowly whispers.

I look around the guild hall everyone has a defeated expression, everyone has had their spirits crushed, no more so than Natsu who is sulking at the bar.

It appears that Phantom lord did the classic trick they did in the original show... they had Aria completely scatter Makarov's mana.

Makarov... isn't in a good state right now.

He was hauled off to Porlyusica, who is keeping him in a stable state.

The phantom lord mages were all stuffed into a giant wooden cage in the corner of the room created by Laki.

I take a seat beside Natsu.

His slightly glazed looking eyes glance over to me. "Hn? PIERCE?!"

He finches back. "You're better?!"

"I am." I slowly nod. "It took a lot out of me, though."

I allow my voice to die out as I look over him. "You look rough."

"That damn phantom lord dragon slayer was able to counter everything I did." The pink haired teen scoffs as he crosses his arms.

"The iron one?"

"Yeah." He sighs.

"I am genuinely surprised he is up and moving after the severe beating I gave him. Strange."

"You beat him up?!" The dragon slayer owlishly blinks. "How?! How'd you do it! None of my attacks stuck! I've never... felt like that before."

"Well, I sort of cheated by stealing his magic for a few moments... I can see how someone who uses fire would lose to him, however."

"What do you mean by that!" The pink haired dragon slayer frowns with a slight pout. "Fire is badass!"

"It is, yet... not all elements are created equal, Natsu. Some just have more versatility than others. This guy can turn his entire body into metal. That's an advantage you don't really have." I shrug.

"He didn't even feel a single one of my punches! It was bullshit! Are you saying that I'll never be able to beat him?!"

"I never said that, Natsu... just that it would be... harder... from my fight I have discovered a few things, firstly, most of his protection is merely skin-deep, and two his limbs can't exactly curve after they have been shot. If I had to explain it, he's like a tree. His main club cannot be bent after he shoots it, but it doesn't stop him from creating more 'branches' from the side of it."

"Skin deep?! It felt like I was punching a wall of Iron!"

"Of course, he probably turned most of his body to iron just before you hit him, but keep in mind, he wouldn't be able to move if he kept that defense up all of the time, his reaction time is just extremely well-tuned... but even iron isn't invincible... you, Natsu have two real options if you want to beat him... first, keep your fire on him for extended periods of time. If his skin is iron it will eventually transfer the heat to his body and slowly cook him alive."

"How long?"

"Anywhere from fifteen seconds to a minute." I shrug. "That is an extremely broad guess. If you increased the heat of your fire, you could probably do it faster."

"How do I increase the heat? Just use more magic?"

"That actually brings me to the second way you could beat him... Iron melts. It takes a lot of heat, sure, but eventually it will melt. Heat is typically increased with two things, the first, is fuel, so yes, adding more magical power than you normally would should increase it by a little bit, but there is another part to increasing heat."

"What is it?! I want to knock that damn bastard on his ass the next time I see him!" The pink haired fairy tail mage snarls as he leaps to his feet.

I pull a white potion out of my requip space and promptly make it turn into two different colored smokes, one a pale icy blue, and the other a white-ish green.

I turn and condense the smoke into two potions, I give Natsu the green one. "Drink this."

He gives the potion a confused look. "Huh?"

"That will give you a basic understanding of wind magic, fire needs air to burn, but it is a balancing act, too much, and the fire is snuffed out, to little and it is also snuffed out. A match placed under an upside-down glass will always burn out, just like a match will not be able to stay lit in a windstorm."

He looks down at the potion, pops off the cork and drinks it.

He pauses for a moment then clenches and unclenches his fist, a sudden draft appearing in the room.

"It's up to you to learn how to increase the temperature of your magic, I merely just helped you along the way and let you skip the boring reading parts."

"I'm going to kick that dragon slayer's ass!" Natsu cheers as he turns abruptly, seemingly ready to rush out of the door.

Mavis lunges over the counter and grabs his scarf with both hands. "No. No no no. You aren't leaving Magnolia. Phantom lord is going to press their advantage and attack us, if you leave now, you'll be blowing up an empty guild hall while we are being attacked."

The dragon slayer mopes for a moment and sits back down. "Fiiiine."

Mavis' gaze slides to me. "Pierce... there is actually something I need to talk to you about... in private if you would."

"Sure." I shrug as I get up off the stool, grabbing the 'Ice' half of the snow magic I just split in half and shoving it into my requip space.

I follow the blonde through the basement until we reach a vaguely quiet corner.

After a moment, I can feel an illusion settle over us, muting the noises from the guild hall and probably projecting an illusion of what's actually happening in this corner.

The girl grabs my shoulders. "Pierce! Please tell me..."

An eerie silence passes between the two of us as her lifeless pupil-less gaze bores into my own.

"What do you think about that blue haired phantom lord mage?" The blonde questions.

"Uh... I... don't see how this is relevant? I don't feel like she's a bad person, but her life is genuinely really sad. He standards are extremely low as well. She seems to have emotional trauma over the fact that her magic is so powerful that it causes it to rain when she is sad, she got sad once when she was young, looked outside, got sad because she couldn't go out and play, then got locked into an eternal feedback loop of people she dates leaving her because they couldn't handle her rain. Her standards are so low in fact, she nearly leapt into my arms merely because I said that I enjoyed the rain." I explain. "I truly wish for her to get some therapy, her self-esteem is nearly the lowest I have ever seen in anyone's, and, well, I don't think she deserves it... after all this is over, I bet she is going to leave Phantom lord in an attempt to join Fairy Tail."

The girl continues to stare. "Are... you physically attracted to her?"

"Uh- I... do not necessarily see how that is a valid or relevant topic in this scenario at all." I point out slowly. "In addition, I sort of thought that this may have had something to do with phantom lord, who we know are about to attack Fairy Tail."

"Please answer the question Pierce." The girl frowns.

"I see all of the girl's in fairy tail as physically attractive." I shrug idly. "It doesn't really mean much, to be completely and totally honest. I don't know who is dating who, but... Juvia might be a little too crazy for my tastes right now? Maybe after some therapy? I also don't really like the way she curled her hair, but beyond that I... could probably see it working out in the distant future. She is devoted, powerful, and most importantly, she is forward with her feelings, which is honestly one of the biggest things in her favor. I honestly fear changing my relationships with people, if I were to ask someone if they care about me in that manner, and I was wrong in my assumption, it would create a lot of unneeded awkwardness between the two of us... enough so, I might even consider buying the memory of me even asking. So it is quite nice to have someone who is so forwards."

An awkward silence passes between us as I give her ample time to comprehend what I just said.

"All?" She whispers under her breath before shaking her head. "Hn. Alright. That's what I wanted to know... but there is another reason why I brought you back here... Pierce... could you teach me how to use ownership magic and temporarily give me ownership of the Allocer cannon?"

"You want to fix it?" I question with a raised eyebrow. "Alright, sure. It could prove advantageous. But... I'm going to be completely and totally honest, it'll probably take more than whatever current mana you have to repair it. You'll need to fully regenerate roughly half of an extremely large lacrima, and the cannon mechanism itself."

"I can manage it. Don't worry." The girl replies.

I look over her for a moment. "If this is what you truly wish, fine."

A contract and a pen appears in my hand. "This will sign over my knowledge of ownership magic, in addition to the ownership of the Allocer cannon, until Phantom Lord's attack is rebuffed or you want to give it back."

The girl looks over it and signs the paper.

She flinches a moment later, bringing a hand to her head. "Ow... that's a lot of knowledge."

She looks over her shoulder as the mood outside the illusion changes, people are up in arms.

The illusion breaks.

"I... am not here to fight." A new voice begins slowly.

Mavis and I slowly step out from behind the boxes and look to the figure stood at the foot of the stairs.

He is thin, wearing a black coat with white fur, and long yellowish pants. He has black spikey hair atop his head that rapidly transitions to long, straight, snow-white hair, he has purple lipstick and eyeliner on.

"Yeah right!" Natsu roars as he lunges forwards, cocking a fist back.

I trip him with telekinesis as I hold out a hand, causing him to faceplant before he even reaches the half way point.

"Why are you here?" I question as I slowly walk forwards.

"I owe a debt to the fairy tail guild... I have left Phantom Lord and I am here to tell you... they plan to attack you tomorrow morning from the north, and south entrances of magnolia while the main force attacks through the lake." He states slowly.

"Why the hell should we believe you?" Grey, who is sitting at the side of the room questions with a half lidded stare.

"I was one of the people trapped at the tower of heaven." He answers idly as he turns and walks back up the stares. "Fairy tail destroyed that damned place, so I will do my part in preventing them from being destroyed in turn. Goodbye."

Those words don't seem to mean a lot to the majority of Fairy Tail, but a few have recognition, Erza and Jellal seem to instantly believe his words for what they are.

He turns on a dime and walks up the stairs, disappearing without another word.

'Huh... so Midnight of the Oracion Seis joined Phantom Lord... neat.'

A cautious silence passes through the guild hall for a moment, but it is broken by the sound of another pair of feet treading down the steps, a tanned young adult appears, glancing over his shoulder, presumably at the man who just passed him, the guild seems to relax as he casts a gaze around the guild hall, he has maroon colored hair that spikes upwards, he has a white overcoat and red trousers; around his neck is a fairly long purple snake with a white underbelly that looks around with uncanny intellect. Far more than a snake should have.

"What the hell happened to the guild hall?" He questions

"Oh. Erik. Phantom lord attacked us..." Mavis weakly explains.

The man blinks slowly as the snake lifts its head. "Where's master."

He notices those around the guild all look ashamed of themselves, a worried frown appearing on his face.

"Master Makarov is in a coma. One of the Element four ambushed him and scattered all of his magical power. It's... unknown if he will live." Mavis replies, looking guiltily down at the floor.

The snake around the teens shoulders lets out a feral hiss as he clenches his fists. "I-I see..."

The small blonde girl frowns, quickly walking across the guild hall, pausing before a large stack of boxes, she tries to shift one, but it appears to be too heavy for her.

I raise a finger, causing the box to raise off the stack and get gently placed on the ground beside the barefoot girl.

She offers a quiet thanks as she cracks the box open.

She looks inside to see several flares of different colors a determined frown crossing her face as she nods once.

She walks to the center of the room. "Attention Fairy Tail. Phantom lord thinks they have won... how about we show them just how wrong they are?!"

A rousing cheer echoes throughout the basement as she walks over to the crate and pulls out a flare. "These are the flares we typically use for our S Class trials, but in this case, we will be using them to better help us cooperate and fight in unison. We have been told that Phantom lord plans to attack from three directions. The Lake, the north, and the south, however, that may very well not be true, I want at least a singular mage on each of the exits of Magnolia, with a larger force waiting in arms at the north and south. Each of you will take a few flares, which we will be color coding now."

She lifts a flare with a red cap. "Red, will signal for assistance, any nearby Fairy Tail members are to go to this point and help out where they can. In the case of the eastern exit, a red flare is to be shot up if phantom lord attacks from that direction."

She lifts a blue flare. "Blue will signal that an S Class Phantom Lord mage is there, showing much more urgency than a simple red."

"Finally green will say that everything is good. Only deploy this flare after you are one hundred percent sure that you have defeated all of the enemy mages, then go help elsewhere. Do you understand?"

A murmur of confirmations passes through the basement.

"Good. Please. Rest up and prepare because tomorrow... war comes to Magnolia."

Pov: Elsewhere, after everyone had gone home.

A girl with long, wavy blonde hair lets out a depressed sigh as she looks up towards a large purple crystal.

She walks forwards, head down slightly and presses a hand against it, the glowing light of the crystal illuminating her face and casting reflections in her pupilless green eyes. "Hey Zera... it has been a while since we talked like this..."

The crystal doesn't respond.

"A fair bit has changed recently... remember that guy who saved us? Back on Tenrou? He's. here. He's alive. He's the exact same. And he's... meeting all of my standards!"

The girl blushes as she brings both of her hands up to her cheeks and squirms around slightly.

"Yes... I know... I said I got over my crush decades ago, but... he's back! I have a REAL chance to be with him now! Don't you judge me... we both know you also swooned over him back then."

"OH! And want to know the best part?! He finds all of the girls in the guild attractive... THAT INCLUDES ME!"

The girl frowns and crosses her arms over her chest. "Tch. But some phantom lord mage showed up and now she's trying to take him away from me! What the heck?! That's totally uncalled for!"

"He said that he likes people that are forwards in their feelings, and damn it, Zera, I'm about to be the MOST forwards I can possibly be... after we deal with Phantom lord, of course..."

The blonde girl wilts slightly as she looks up at the crystal. "Yeah... things aren't looking so good right now, Zera. Phantom lord attacked us out of jealousy... their master seems to have finally gone off the deep end. Makarov got hurt pretty badly, and I don't know if he's going to make it... Mystogan said that he's gathering Makarov's scattered magic, but... I'm unsure if he'll be back in time."

"I-I'm just so worried... sorry, about going off topic with Pierce- that's his name by the way- I just needed something to distract me for a few seconds... I just..."

"Do you think I could have stopped this if I was the master of Fairy Tail? Like I used to be?" The blonde quietly questions. "I-I know I said I stepped down to feel like I was in less control of people and to feel less responsible when... they sometimes didn't come back... but... m-maybe I'm just a coward? It really hurt when Wraith died... he was too young... not even an adult... I- I just didn't want to feel like that again."

The first fairy tail guild master lets out a shaky breath as she looks up to the crystal again. A large tarp is wrapped around the middle of the lacrima, only a head is visible, showing a brown haired girl, whose hair is tied up in a pony tail behind her head. Her eyes are closed as she rests in a peaceful comatose slumber.

The blonde wipes her eyes and shakes her head slightly, placing her hand upon the crystal once more. "Thanks for Listening... Zera... you're always there for me... but to save our guild, I may just need some of your power."

The girl's green eyes gleam in the darkness as they become a deep ocean blue, starting at her scalp, her hair begins to turn a snow white, rapidly trailing down the entire length as she slowly turns and faces away from the crystal.

With a flash, her clothing is replaced by a pristine white gown that shows off her stomach, blue lines arc across the dress as glowing blue markings trail down her legs.

Two wings made of an ethereal blue light appear on her back, they appear to be two dimensional, looking sort of similar to simple flames, they don't move, just hover there blankly.

She lets out a very low breath as she holds out a hand, and with a green flash, a large broken machine appears before her.

A green magic circle appears in front of her hand, and she simply twists it once.

The lacrima which was half melted rapidly mends, becoming a sphere nearly the size of a carriage, metal framing the sphere appears next, attaching a large cannon atop the orb.

The girl looks over the canon with a bright smile. "Oh! This is so cool!"

She looks down at her hand. "Pierce's magic is also really useful. Hm."

"We need every advantage we can get for Phantom Lord... so maybe I can improve this?" The girl questions with a small head tilt.

She approaches the device, floating off the ground as she scours every nook and cranny. "It is a prototype Gottfried! This lacrima is also INCREDIBLY efficient! Probably even more than Fairy Heart's! Incredible!"

The girl raises both of her hands, two green magic circles appearing in front of her palms.

The cannon tears itself apart, the metal bending and warping as it moves around the lacrima. The mechanical parts seem to transform into three duplicates of itself which moves around the front of the lacrima, all pointed inwards in a slight triangle pattern. "This should improve the power quite a bit. At least by fifty percent."

The girl frowns suddenly, cupping her chin. "Wait... I own the concept of this cannon... it can never be broken without me allowing it, and if anyone uses it that I don't permit, they'll be hurt... can I just-"

The cannon glows suddenly and disappears.

She pauses as she looks down to her forearm.

A vibrant swirling golden tattoo has appeared on the girl's arm, near her wrist is the fairy tail guild mark.

The Eleventh Great Fairy Magic, Allocer.

Er- rather, this probably steps on the toes of 'Fairy Magic Seven: Fairy Cannon' so it should probably be considered more of a subspecies of that.

She shakes her arm slightly and points it experimentally at the wall.

It probably packs more of a punch than 'Fairy Cannon' due it its considerably lower cost.

Could she combine the effects and upgrade the original Fairy Cannon? If it had a focus like the Magical Convergent Cannon Allocer, it would probably be far stronger...

"The seventh fairy magic... 'True' Fairy Cannon." The girl quietly decides, mentally storing away the old spell formula, as it is still incredibly relevant to those who won't have the 'focus' magic seal.

She should complete this swiftly... to protect her family!

She just hopes that Pierce doesn't dislike the changes to his cannon...

I-if he doesn't like it, she could always fix it later.

I step into the guild hall's basement, my expression schooled.

Today is the day war comes to Magnolia.

I glance around the basement to see that it is quite full.

Most of the guild has gathered for today.

I see Mavis hunched over a communication lacrima, quietly fuming.

"Why should I come back to the fairy tail guild hall? You got yourselves into that mess, you weaklings need to get yourselves out." An abrasive voice echoes from the crystal sphere as I slowly pause nearby.

I glance over to see Laxus on the other side.

"Laxus! Your grandfather could DIE! Do you not care about your family?!" The girl screams.

"Psshh if he gets killed like that? He was just weak." The teen scoffs.

"LAXUS!" The girl screams.

"Tell you what? All this is because of that blonde chick, right? I'll help out... if she agrees to date me... oh, and if Cana agrees to flash her tits at me."

Mavis' hands shake in poorly restrained wrath.

"How pathetic." I scoff as I walk nearby, shooting the orb a half-lidded stare.

He seems to hear me, judging by how his eyes slowly slide along the crystal ball to where he is glaring in my general direction.

"Would you care to repeat that?"

"I called you utterly pathetic. A sad excuse for a fairy tail wizard. You're going to stay away for our entire fight, then return acting all high and mighty proclaiming that we are weak after we win the war. Fairy tail is special among all of the guilds, if you want a guild that values strength above all else, go join Sabertooth, you sad wannabe guild master. You might be Master Makarov's grandson, but you annoy the hell out of me. Stop spouting your utter nonsense and get off your ass and actually do something to help the guild that you were raised in, or honestly shut up about all this 'strength' nonsense. Because the way I see it, Laxus, 'FaIrY tAiL's StRoNgEsT mAgE' Dreyar even the weakest combat mages in our guild are doing far more for us than you and your triad of pitiful fanboys."

"YOU LITTLE-"

"Goo-bye~" I hum as I reach over and push the button to hang up the communications Lacrima.

The long haired girl to my left stares at the side of my head, eyes wide, she seems a little surprised that I had the guts to yell at one of Fairy Tail's most ornery S class like that.

"What?" I ask quietly. "I couldn't just let him disrespect you like that. Besides... he really rubs me the wrong way."

Her eyes begin to sparkle slightly.

"So, do you think we are ready?" I question the girl.

"I... don't know." The girl meekly shakes her head.

"Oh. Come here for a second." She commands as she grabs my wrist and pulls me aside.

We are surrounded by an illusion a moment later.

She smiles brightly as she turns and grabs right hand with both of hers.

An elaborate magical tattoo quickly worms its way along my forearm, causing me to look down at it in surprise.

"What did you... do?" I slowly question, the sheer impossibility of this isn't lost on me. She turned an item into a fucking tattoo. She improved the power of it nearly two fold! In a SINGLE night!

Something said to be able to wipe towns off the face of the planet got two times stronger... and far more mobile.

A downside is that it now takes a little more energy to charge, typically that wouldn't be much of a problem, but there's a slight difference in the... quality... of the magic of a mage like Lucy and a mage like me.

Every single bit of her magic power counts as 'more' for the purposes of charging this cannon. That can change, of course, as I further master my Celestial Spirit magic, that will change, but as of right now? I'm still an absolute novice.

There is the matter that I have more mana than Lucy to consider.

Mavis looks absolutely horrified, her eyes widening as a gaze of hurt completely rips my heart asunder. "Y-You... don't like it?"

Tears prickle her eyes as she sniffles slightly. "I-It's alright, I can f-fix it after Phantom lord is-"

"I like it. I never said I didn't like it." I rapidly cut in. "I was just confused how you managed to turn a physical object into an easy to transfer tattoo... also I'm wondering why you gave it to me fully charged... and how you managed to charge it without celestial spirit magic... and if it's entirely safe to have what is basically a magical bomb strapped to my forearm."

"Oh..." The girl whispers as she wipes her eyes quietly. "I owned it, so with enough magic power... I was able to change aspects about it to be what I wanted... I was unable to create more stuff so I had to use what was there, but I was able to change its state with enough magic power and include some of the knowledge I gained through researching spells to make it like that."

"It's also completely safe... I fully charged it because we might need it today and my tinkering maaaay have made it cost a little more to charge." The girl sheepishly mutters while looking at the floor.

"It did. But with the power increase and the ease of transportation, it isn't a bother." I note as I slowly twist my arm, observing the marked appendage.

"Oh! Okay! I'm glad you like it!"

I narrow my eyes slightly and pull my arm closer to my face. "There is a slight problem, though... it isn't meant to be held at full charge for long... that was probably worsened by you increasing the cannon's potency. it is slowly degrading from the magical overload. It's not a problem... yet... but if Phantom lord doesn't show up today, it might really blow up."

"Really?! Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" The girl gasps bringing her hands to her mouth, worry quickly crossing her face.

"Oh, no. It's not a bother. If it isn't charged or if it is merely charged and fired, it won't be a problem. It just shouldn't hold a sustained charge of this level. If I had it half full, sure, it'd be fine."

She observes my arm with more scrutiny, letting out a shaky breath after a moment. "if they don't show up today, you can fire it into the air, or maybe-"

*THOOM*

We both pause as the entire basement shakes, dust rains down from the rafters as a loud noise gives everyone in the guild hall pause.

*THOOM*

The girl tugs me from the corner as the entire guild hall rushes up the stairs, we rush around our destroyed guild building and stare out into the lake.

*THOOM*

Mavis lets out a shaky gasp as she brings both of her hands to her mouth.

I am... honestly with her in this.

That isn't the Phantom Lord mech.

A large wingless blue dragon skeleton slowly stomps its way through the lake, causing large waves and churning water to wash outwards every time it moves.

Typically that would already be bad enough, but, large pieces of machinery have been grafted to the dragon. Large pipes criss-cross in between the gaps in its limb bones, large metal plates seem to give it 'skin' primarily encapsulating its body from the tip of the tail to the head, leaving the limbs more or less exposed beyond the machinery littering them, presumably this is to allow people to stay inside of the skeletal dragon, the metal is segmented, allowing the neck, head, and tail freedom.

To glowing lights gleam deep within the skeleton's empty eye sockets as it continues to prowl forwards.

A massive castle is sat squarely atop its back.

"T-The Tenrou Jade and the skeleton... W-wasn't destroyed?!" The girl to my left quietly gasps.

The skeleton grinds to a halt, a menacing addition to the horizon as it stands tall.

All is calm for a moment, then in the next, a large projection appears above the castle.

A man in a large wizard hat seems to sit in a throne, only his upper torso is projected, he wears a purple robe with black bat-like wings attached to the back, has black lipstick and dark red hair, he looks over Magnolia with an arrogant smirk as he seems to be deciding what exactly to say.

Oh boy... this could get ugly...

MECHA DRAGON?! BADASS! Also really bad for our protagonist...

Let's just hope he can kill Cyborg Skeleton Godzilla in one shot eh?

Eh?

What are the chances of that? Right?

100%?

He's going to do it, right?

ALSO we got an insider view into the mind of Mavis... which is about as bonkers as Juvia now that I look over it again.

Huh... So, Pierce has two legitimately insane girls lusting over him...

I sure hope a third doesn't appear.

Pshhh there's no characters in Fairy tail that are that similar to regular Juvia and a touch starved Mavis, right?

Guest reviews:

Guest 001: Oh, Pierce ABSOLUTELY could make a killing as a healer considering he could THEORETICALLY cure Ankhseram Black Magic. Sadly, as a part of his magic, he needs to 'burn' the sickness or wound in question. The way his magic currently works is that when he buys a wound, he 'owns' it, but he doesn't necessarily take it off the person, by 'destroying' the wound or disease, he heals them.

Guest 002: Fuck.

DTM321: I'm trying to limit MOST things like that, in the case of his memories, what would he even have to sell? Meta-knowledge is worthless in this AU hell, and even if it wasn't Pierce probably wouldn't want to sell that.

JustAFan123: thanks!

Guest 003: They aren't actually 'Ocs', as I've said, ALL of the characters introduced so far (Besides the earth dragon slayer in chapter 2 who was a result of more dragons being in Earthland) were originally from some media in Fairy Tail. I gave a list last chapter, but apparently you didn't read it.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and as always, I have a Pat Reon, at Pat Reon (Dotcom) (Slash) Flameclawsxx.
