It was a miracle that Fluttershy hadn't fainted at the demon's monstrous appearance.
"Hahaha. You, you little vermin, have no chance of defeating me now!" declared Whamplash.
"I don't care what you look like, I'll defeat you!" declared Wendy before lunging towards him while wrapping her leg in wind. "Sky Dragon's Claw!" shouted Wendy trying to hit him, but a tentacle of the demon blocked the attack, much to the young dragon slayer's surprise before he grabbed her and threw her to the ground.
"Like I said, you won't be able to defeat me!" said Whamplash.
"I won't give up!" said Wendy getting up before puffing out her cheeks. "Sky Dragon's Roar!" shouted Wendy shooting a tornado out of her mouth that hit the demon directly, but it didn't move an inch.
"That tickles." said Whamplash trying to hit her with his tentacles, but the young dragon slayer was able to dodge them all.
However, after a few seconds of dodging, one tentacle ended up catching her and slamming her to the ground. Before she could get up, Whamplash began to hit her repeatedly with his tentacles while he laughed maniacally.
"HAHAHA. Yes, that's it. Die like the insect you are." said Whamplash hitting her a couple of times before stopping, allowing him to see Wendy, who was badly injured, beaten and immobile.
Tears began to stream down Fluttershy's face as she saw the state of her friend. She had been fighting the whole time against the demon alone and she had done nothing but sit there and be scared.
The fear and sadness was replaced by something very different.
"How dare you?" muttered Fluttershy catching the demon's attention.
"Huh? What did you say?" asked Whamplash.
"HOW DARE YOU?" asked Fluttershy raising her head and throwing 'the look' at the demon who was startled by the sight of her. "Listen to me well!" began Fluttershy calmly flying towards the demon's face as he was slowly backing away. "I don't care that you're a demon! I don't care that you're now of monstrous size! I don't care that you have such enormous power! But if there's one thing I won't tolerate IT'S YOU HARMING MY FRIEND!" exclaimed Fluttershy having pushed the demon back until his back touched the wall while she kept on throwing her gaze at him.
"I-I-Impossible! I'm a demon from Zeref's books! How is it possible that such a weak and insignificant creature scares me! But her gaze is the same or even worse than that of a demon!" thought Whamplash in fury and fear.
Suddenly, they both felt a huge pressure followed by a strong wind. Turning their gaze to the source, they both saw Wendy standing over the crater she was in, but she was different, as her hair and eyes had turned pink and white feathers grew out of her wrists, ankles and back.
That was a sign that Wendy had entered Dragon Force mode.
"Fluttershy, get away from him!" said Wendy.
Without being told twice, Fluttershy quickly moved away from the demon, returning to Charle's side who was starting to regain consciousness.
Wendy stretched out her arms, causing the winds to swirl around her and Whamplash. "DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ARTS!" shouted Wendy as the wind speed increased tremendously. "SHATTERING LIGHT: SKY DRILL!" shouted Wendy as she swung her arms counterclockwise and then launched a powerful blast of wind towards the demon, who tried to block the attack with all of his tentacles.
"Grrr. DAMN YOU, BRAT!" shouted Whamplash as his tentacles were torn apart by the cutting force of the wind and the attack impacted on him, causing a powerful explosion that shattered the entire room until it created a hole leading into the next room.
When the smoke cleared, Whamplash was nowhere to be seen, signaling that it had been defeated for good.
Fluttershy turned her gaze to where Wendy was to find her undoing her Dragon Force before she began to fall to the ground. Fortunately, the yellow pegasus managed to get there in time to catch her before she hit the ground.
"Wendy! Wendy! Are you okay?" asked Fluttershy gently placing the wind dragon slayer on the ground.
Wendy groaned a little before opening her eyes a little and looking at the yellow pegasus with a smile.
"Yes, I am." said Wendy.
Fluttershy let out a couple of tears of joy before hugging the sky dragon slayer.
"Oh, I was so worried. I thought you were going to die." said Fluttershy as she cried tears of joy.
Wendy smiled sweetly before hugging her back.
"Hehe. Relax. I'm a Fairy Tail mage. We don't die that easily." said Wendy.
Charle had fully woken up and decided to be quiet as she watched the tender moment between two friends.
The three siblings and the unicorn became a little nervous due to the powerful and terrifying appearance the demon had taken on in front of them.
"D-Don't worry. If we stick to the same plan, then..." began Rarity.
"Too late." said Mathisa appearing very quickly in front of the unicorn and before she could react, she kicked her hard, sending her flying backwards.
"Rarity!" shouted Lisanna before moving quickly to catch her before she impacted hard against the wall.
"Grrr. Coward! A real man wouldn't hit a lady!" yelled Elfman trying to punch the demon, but she caught his fist with one of her hands, much to the middle brother's surprise.
"In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not a man." said Mathisa before slamming both of her right fists into the mage's stomach, sending him crashing into another tub.
After that, she quickly turned around and put her arms in X position just as Mirajane approached her with a dark whirlpool in her hand.
"Evil Push!" shouted Mirajane pointing the hand whirlpool at her, causing a force to quickly push her backwards, but Mathisa managed to steady herself and land on her feet before lunging towards her and giving her a horizontal kick.
"You know? Your little trick has taught me one thing. Instead of waiting to find out what you're thinking and catch you in the act, I'll attack you before you can think of anything." said Mathisa.
"Then we'll have to attack you first!" said Elfman before going into Lizardman mode and lunging towards the demon.
Mathisa dodged his attempt to strike and proceeded to punch him, but Elfman acted fast and put his other arm up as a shield, causing Mathisa to groan from the pain due to the hard, sharp scales.
Before she could react, Elfman hit her with an arm sweep, impacting the scales into her, causing more damage before she was thrown into another tub.
As she got up, she shot a withering glare at the middle brother.
"Damn you. Don't think because you have such simple thoughts that you're going to defeat me." said Mathisa before sensing something behind her and jumping to the side quickly, managing to narrowly dodge a large magical beam, though it did manage to graze part of her arms.
Looking back, she discovered Rarity on top of Lisanna who was flying in her Harpy mode.
"This is for earlier!" said Rarity before shooting another magic beam, but Mathisa dodged it before darting towards them.
Lisanna acted fast and used one paw to block an incoming blow, but Mathisa managed to hit her with her other fists, sending them crashing to the ground.
Elfman then stood over her to smash her with his fists, but Mathisa managed to block it with her bare hands, though she hurt her hands in the process as she landed hard (and on her feet) on the ground.
Elfman tried to put more force into it, but the demon managed to resist.
Before he knew it, Mathisa wrapped her tail around one of Elfman's legs and tripped him, allowing Mathisa to slam all four of her fists into his chest, sending him crashing into the wall.
"Suppression Arts!" shouted Mirajane lunging towards her with dark energy in her hand, but before she could make contact, Mathisa quickly grabbed her wrist and directed it upwards, causing the energy to dissipate.
"Did you really think I didn't see this coming? Now with all my power, I'll be able to read your thoughts faster than before. Like now, which I know you're going to throw your Soul Extinctor at me to catch me off guard, but that's not going to work, because I'll dodge it before it can touch me." said Mathisa as she looked with a smile at the older sister who was scowling at her.
"There is one thing you should know about the human mind." said Mirajane.
"The what?" asked Mathisa without losing her smile.
"That it is unpredictable." said Mirajane before displaying in her other hand a sphere of dark magic which she placed in front of the demon's chest, much to her shock. "Evil Orb!" shouted Mirajane unleashing a blast of dark magic that caused a huge explosion followed by a huge pillar of dark magic that pierced the ceiling until it reached the infinite sky.
By the time the smoke cleared, Mathisa could be seen struggling to her feet.
"You bastard. you just made a mistake!" said Mathisa very angrily.
"No. The mistake was made by you messing with my family." said Mirajane before switching to her Sitri form. "For that reason, as an older sister, it is my responsibility to make you pay for that."
"HA. Try if you can! No matter what form you take or what spells you use, I can read your thoughts! A direct attack, like you're thinking of doing right now, won't do you any good…!" began Mathisa before Mirajane appeared in a second behind her with her hand wreathed in flames.
"You know? There's another way to defeat guys like you and that's to act faster than one might think!" said Mirajane.
A claw mark could be seen in the area where Mirajane had struck with her claws and before Mathisa could react, the marks began to burn, making her scream in pain as the flames spread to cover her completely.
Mathisa kept screaming and screaming until she suffered an explosion of fire that completely destroyed her.
After that, Mirajane undid her transformation and ran to the side of her siblings and the unicorn.
"Are you all okay?" asked Mirajane.
"A little banged up, but I am." said Lisanna getting up as she undid her transformation.
"Of course we're fine, we're men." said Elfman undoing his transformation as he stood up.
"I have to admit you have impressive power. Worthy of a big sister." said Rarity.
"Heh. Thanks, Rarity." said Mirajane.
"Do you think the others will be okay?" asked Lisanna.
"Well of course they will, we're Fairy Tail mages." said Elfman with a confident smile.
"And knowing my friends, they'll be fine too." said Rarity.
"Still it would be better to go get them in case they're hurt. Let's go." said Mirajane before the four of them left the room.
Shortly after Genguar unleashed his true form, the air in the room began to blacken a little more, causing Levy, Lily, and Applejack to begin coughing more violently.
"W-what's going on?" asked Applejack as she coughed loudly.
"Now that I've awakened my etherious form, the polluted air increased in potency. It's only a matter of a couple of minutes now before you all die." said Genguar.
"Not while I'm still standing!" declared Gajeel before turning his arms into spears. "Iron Dragon's Lance!" shouted Gajeel firing several spears at the demon who put his arms up as a shield.
Some were blocked, but others managed to scrape him, giving him small cuts.
"I admire your resistance to my curse, but you're going down just like your friends." said Genguar before quickly striking the iron dragon slayer, sending him crashing into the wall, but he quickly got up and lunged towards the demon.
"Iron Dragon's Club!" shouted Gajeel turning his arm into a club which he then extended to strike the demon's face, knocking him down in the process. Just as the demon was getting up. "I'm not done yet! DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ARTS!" shouted Gajeel before turning his legs into a giant drill. "KARMA DEMON: IRON SPIRAL!" shouted Gajeel before quickly spinning around as he fell towards the demon, hitting him directly and causing an explosion in the process.
After that, Gajeel spun away from the impact zone and quickly dropped to his knees as he coughed up some blood.
"Damn you. You're starting to get on my nerves." said Genguar losing his cool.
"He." laughed Gajeel with a toothy grin despite the line of blood coming from his mouth. "And you were saying you wanted to avenge that demon? If he were here he would be very disappointed."
That made Genguar become enraged and let out a roar of rage before striking hard at the iron dragon slayer's face, pushing him, in the process, to impact against the ground, generating a small crater.
"I've had enough of you! I'll kill you right now and master Torafuzar will be avenged!" said Genguar having lost his patience.
Gajeel coughed up some more blood before scowling at the demon.
"I may get to die, but I don't plan to do so until I'm done with one thing pending." said Gajeel.
"And what is that?" asked Genguar.
In the iron dragon slayer's mind, the image of a certain blue-haired girl in an orange dress appeared.
"I won't tell you, but I will tell you that I don't plan to die here or now!" said Gajeel before a burst of energy was unleashed from him, forcing the demon back.
"What?" asked Genguar confused and surprised, especially when he saw Gajeel get up from the ground looking like a different skin than before.
Instead of an iron skin, he was wearing a steel skin.
"Steel Dragon mode!" shouted Gajeel unleashing his other form of power.
"Grrr. That form... That form was the one that defeated master Torafuzar!" said Genguar angrily, recognizing Gajeel's new form. "You're not going to beat me with that!" declared Genguar before lunging towards the mage. "I'll kill you!"
"Steel Dragon's Sword!" shouted Gajeel turning his arm into a sword and rushing towards the demon.
In a second later, both opponents were behind each other, not moving at all. Soon after, multiple cuts appeared on Genguar's body, making him scream in pain.
"Master... Torafuzar." muttered Genguar before falling to the ground dead.
After the demon's death, the air began to clear and with the curse undone, the others stopped coughing.
"Gajeel, you did it! You saved us!" exclaimed Applejack.
"Gajeel?" asked Levy looking at the iron dragon slayer who had shed his previous form and lay motionless until he began to fall face first to the ground. "Gajeel!" exclaimed Levy running quickly to catch him, but she wasn't going to make it in time.
Fortunately, Lily, in his battle form, managed to catch him in time and knock him to the ground.
"Are you okay?" asked Lily.
"*Cough* Are you seriously asking that? It'll take more than that to kill me." said Gajeel.
"You shouldn't try too hard. You've been putting up with that toxic air more than we have." said Levy.
"We'd better get you to Wendy to heal you." said Applejack.
"Okay." said Gajeel trying to get up, only to groan in pain.
"I told you not to strain yourself. Let us help you a little, okay?" asked Levy.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Gajeel nodded and let the writing mage, the exceed transformed and the field pony carry him out of the room.
"Mantis Sword!" shouted Thimchid raising one of her mantis scythes and swiftly bringing it down towards the redhead and the cyan pegasus in order to cut them down, but they quickly jumped aside.
"You won't escape so easily!" exclaimed Thimchid before shooting a line of webbing from her mouth that trapped Rainbow Dash in the wall. She tried to break free, but there was no way and stopped when she saw the demon standing in front of her. "Now, how do I devour you?"
"Her don't even come close! Cutting Flames!" shouted Erza launching a wave of fire from her sword, hitting the demon and making her scream in pain as she recoiled.
While she was busy putting out the flames on her body, Erza used her sword to free the cyan pegasus from the web.
"Thanks. Do you have any plans against that thing?" asked Rainbow Dash a little nervous about how things changed.
"At the moment, I can't think of..." began Erza.
"You're idiots if you think I'll let you plan anything!" declared Thimchid before puffing out her cheeks. "Swarm!" shouted Thimchid throwing up a thousand demon wasps that flew towards them.
The two scrambled to try and shoo the wasps away, but that only served to the demon's advantage as she slammed her fists into them, sending them crashing into the wall.
"HAHAHA. That's what you get for messing with a real demon!" said Thimchid.
"I've faced a demon before and compared to her you're no big deal." said Erza briefly recalling the demon that tortured her in Tartaros before lunging towards her with her sword emitting flames. "Cutting flames!" shouted Erza launching a powerful wave of flames with a sword swing.
"Chrysalis Shield!" shouted Thimchid quickly summoning a shield that protected her from the flames. "HA. That trick won't do you any good anymore." said Thimchid before suddenly Rainbow Dash flew towards her and hit her hard under the chin, sending her staggering backwards until she hit the wall.
"I may not have faced a demon before, but I have faced an insect that is much better than you." said Rainbow Dash.
Back on the battlefield below the floating base, a certain former changeling queen let out a sneeze.
"I feel like someone was talking about me and I don't know if it was an insult or a compliment." said Chrysalis confused with the recent sensation.
"Damn puny creature. Mantis Sword!" shouted Thimchid raising the mantis scythe from her shoulder to try to hit her, but she managed to get out of the way in time, stepping to the redhead's side.
"If it wasn't for us being indoors, I'd hit her with a sonic rainboom." said Rainbow Dash tapping her hooves.
That made a click sound in the redhead's mind.
"Rainbow Dash, do you think you can carry me?" asked Erza.
"Depends. How much do you weigh?" asked Rainbow Dash before receiving a murderous look from the redhead, making her very nervous. "I-I-I mean, I can do it with some not-so-heavy stuff." said Rainbow Dash with a nervous smile, hoping not to offend her.
"Well, listen..." began Erza before whispering her plan to her.
"I thought I told you no whispering." said Thimchid bringing her fists down to smash them, but they jumped back to avoid him.
"Requip! Fairy Armor!" shouted Erza changing her armor.
Before anyone could say anything, Rainbow Dash grabbed the redhead and began to fly across the room as she increased her speed by the second.
"Ha. If you intend to fly like flies, then I will swat you like flies!" said Thimchid trying to swat, swat or cut them, but Rainbow Dash was able to dodge all the attacks despite carrying an armored passenger.
Rainbow Dash increased speed so much that they were starting to be a blur leaving a trail of rainbows in their wake. In a final move, she headed straight for the demon.
"NOW!" shouted Erza before Rainbow Dash launched her with all her might towards the demon.
Combined with the speed at which the cyan pegasus was going, the speed at which the redhead was launched was compared to that of a missile.
While flying at full speed, Erza charged her swords with magic before pointing them forward.
"Fairy Burst!" shouted Erza half a distance from her target.
"Oh no. I don't know what you're really planning, but you won't get it! Chrysalis Shield!" shouted Thimchid quickly summoning a shield.
Erza's attack impacted against the shield, but the force of the attack and the speed at which it was going meant that, within seconds, the shield shattered completely, much to the demon's shock and before she could react, Erza managed to impact her blades into her.
Thimchid let out a cry of pain as there was an explosion of light that covered the entire room followed by a wave of wind that pushed Rainbow Dash backwards.
By the time the light faded, Erza could be seen losing her armor and falling to the ground. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash was quick enough to catch her before she hit the ground.
Before she could ask about her condition, Erza let out a small groan before opening her eyes.
"Thanks for the pickup, Rainbow Dash." said Erza with a smile.
"You're welcome, dudette. And let me tell you, what you did was mind-blowing." said Rainbow Dash.
"Well, I wouldn't have done it without your help." said Erza.
"We make a good team, don't we?" asked Rainbow Dash before the two shared a small laugh.
Before, when they met Pinkais, they took him as the typical clown that would perform in a circus or a children's show, but seeing him now they would take him as the clown that would appear in the nightmares of children and even adults.
"What's with those faces? Don't be afraid. I'll be sure to take you to a fun place. A place where we all float down here." said Pinkais with a sinister, toothy grin.
"We're not going anywhere with you!" declared Loki before launching himself towards the demon.
"Wait, Loki!" shouted Lucy trying to stop her spirit friend, who was making his fist cloaked in light.
"Regulus Punch!" shouted Loki hitting the demon with his attack.
However, the attack sank into the demon's body like a rubber ball.
"Oh, my. Looks like someone wants to be first. Then I'll grant your wish!" said Pinkais before striking the spirit, pushing him until him impacted the ground.
"Loki!" cried Lucy with concern.
"Sorry, Lucy." said Loki groaning from the pain before disappearing.
"Hey, that wasn't cool what you did!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie.
"I beg your pardon? We were simply playing a game and in every game there is a winner and a loser. And now..." began Pinkais before quickly lunging towards the pink pony with his fist at the ready. "It's our turn to play!"
Pinkie Pie froze, unable to move in order to dodge the incoming demonic clown.
"Water Nebula!" shouted Juvia launching two columns of water, which spun like propellers, towards the demon, hitting him directly and sending him away from the pink pony. "Juvia won't let you hurt the pony that will help Juvia have an ideal date with Gray!"
"That's true. We still have to plan it." said Pinkie Pie.
"This isn't the time for that sort of thing!" said Lucy.
"Excuse me? It's always a good time to talk about matters of love." said Pinkie Pie.
"Juvia agrees." said Juvia nodded.
"Hey! Don't leave me out of your game!" exclaimed Pinkais jumping on them to try to crush them under his fists, but they moved out of the way.
"Star Dress! Capricorn Form!" shouted Lucy changing her attire before heading towards the demon.
Once she caught up to him, she proceeded to throw multiple punches and kicks at him, but it was like hitting a balloon, so Pinkais stood there the whole time as if he didn't feel a thing. After a while, Lucy stopped and looked with a bit of fear at the demon who was looking at her with that demented grin.
"Is that all? Okay, now it's my turn." Pinkais said before raising his fist.
Lucy, quickly, raised her two arms as a shield and received the blow directly, being thrown until she impacted against the wall.
"Lucy!" exclaimed Juvia with concern before shooting a withering glare at the demon. "You'll pay for hurting Juvia's friend! Water Cyclone!" shouted Juvia shooting a tornado of water towards the demon who was sent backwards, but upon impacting against the wall, he bounced like a ball and flew straight towards the water mage, who couldn't react before the demon hit her and sent her tumbling down next to the celestial mage.
"It was fun, but I think the time has come to end the game." said Pinkais advancing towards the two downed mages.
"Girls! Girls! You have to defeat him!" said Pinkie Pie.
"I wish it was easy. Every time we hit him it's like hitting an iron balloon." said Lucy.
"Well then use that trick." said Pinkie Pie.
"What trick?" asked Juvia.
"You know. That trick. That trick you used when you fought together in the Tower of Heaven." said Pinkie Pie.
"What? How do you know that?" asked Lucy very surprised.
"No time for stupid, pointless questions!" began Pinkie Pie shaking the celestial mage before releasing her. "I'll go distract him, you get the trick ready" said Pinkie Pie before leaving like lightning towards the demon.
"You! I'll finish you first!" exclaimed Pinkais raising a fist to smash the pink pony.
"Wait!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie stopping the clown. "Before you kill me, would you mind accepting this gift?" asked Pinkie Pie pulling a gift out of her hair and presenting it to the demon.
"A gift? For me? Oh, how sweet of you." said Pinkais suddenly changing his attitude and accepting the gift. "I wonder what it is." said Pinkais opening the gift.
BOOM
Only to get a bombshell all over his face.
"Surprise gift. Courtesy of my friend, the Jokey Smurf." said Pinkie Pie.
"GRRR. Damn you! Did you think something like that would end up with me!" asked Pinkais totally furious.
"No. But that did." said Pinkie Pie pointing behind her before quickly turning away.
It was then that Pinkais noticed a light in front and looking ahead, he was shocked when he saw Lucy change her attire to that of Aquarius as a bunch of water swirled around her and Juvia.
"Ready, Juvia?" asked Lucy.
"Always ready," said Juvia.
Both mages held hands as a luminous aura surrounded them and pointed their hands forward.
"Unison Raid! Hydro Screw!" they both shouted in unison firing a powerful and massive tornado of water.
Pinkais let out a scream as the attack hit him and pushed him upwards, piercing the ceiling in the process to even reach the outside of the base. When the attack got too high, there was an explosion, signaling the end of the demonic clown.
It rained a little in the room before all went silent.
Soon after, both mages fell to their knees on the floor.
"Are you okay?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Yeah, a little tired." said Lucy.
"Juvia used all her strength in that attack." said Juvia.
"But seriously, how did you know about that attack? Hardly anyone knows about it, least of all anyone in this world." said Lucy.
"Oh, easy. Before this story, I watched your entire series." said Pinkie Pie with a smile as if it was a no-brainer what she had just said.
Needless to say, that left the two mages very, very confused.
"You know what? Juvia's not going to ask about that." said Juvia.
"Let's just say it's Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie." said Lucy accepting the crazy party pony stuff.
Hitlin's eyes widened at the sight of the new power exhibited by the fire dragon slayer and the ice devil slayer because of the alicorn's magic.
"I must admit it's impressive, but that won't save you! Sword Snakes!" shouted Hitlin causing two giant snakes made of swords to emerge from the ground and launch themselves towards them.
"Magic Fire Dragon's Roar!" shouted Natsu shooting a blast of light violet fire from his mouth that destroyed both snakes, much to the demon's surprise.
That made him unable to react quickly as Gray quickly stepped in front of him.
"Magic Ice Devil's Sword!" shouted Gray creating a violet ice sword and giving the demon a large slash from which spikes of violet ice erupted, making him scream in pain in the process.
The instant Hitlin got down on one knee, the violet ice spikes shattered. Hitlin breathed heavily before shooting a withering glare at the two enhanced mages.
"So much for you two running out of luck! Impalement Field!" shouted Hitlin extending his hand towards the ground, causing a bunch of spears to erupt from the ground towards the two mages, who jumped high to dodge it, before heading towards him. "Sharp Barrier!" shouted Hitlin creating a wall with swords that had the sharp side pointing outwards.
As they headed for the sword barrier, Natsu covered his foot with violet flames and Gray covered his fist with violet ice.
"Magic Fire Dragon's Claw!" shouted Natsu.
"Magic Ice Devil's Fist!" shouted Gray.
Both attacks hit the wall, destroying it in the process without getting hurt, much to the shock of the demon who received the attack from both mages shortly after, being sent backwards in the process.
"No... No... NO WAY YOU WILL DEFEAT ME! I AM THE DEMON OF WAR! I WAS BORN TO WIN! I WAS BORN TO CONQUER! I WON'T BE DEFEATED BY GUYS LIKE YOU!" exclaimed Hitlin very angrily.
He quickly picked up his black axe and sword and charged towards the two mages. The three of them entered into combat and despite being two against one and the two mages being powered by Twilight's magic, the three of them were pretty evenly matched.
It was then that Hitlin crossed both weapons to block a punch from each mage before pushing them back.
"Sharp Projectiles!" shouted Hitlin summoning multiple weapons which he then threw towards the two mages.
"Magic Fire Dragon's Shots!" shouted Natsu shooting several violet fireballs.
"Magic Ice Devil's Projectiles!" shouted Gray shooting several violet ice icicles.
Some of the fireballs and ice icicles hit the incoming weapons while the rest went towards the demon who used his own weapons to defend himself, but as he hit another violet fireball, a loud explosion occurred sending him backwards.
"Why? What are you fighting for? This isn't your world! It doesn't make sense for you to fight for something like this!" said Hitlin.
"This may not be our world, but that doesn't mean we're going to let you hurt innocent beings!" said Gray.
"Besides, we've made some great friends here!" said Natsu briefly reminiscing about everyone he met in Equestria. "And I don't plan to let our friends' home be destroyed! That's what friendship is all about!" declared Natsu as his flames increased in intensity, as did Gray's icy vapor.
"Friendship? HA. In war there is no such absurd thing! The only thing that matters in a war is winning and I'll prove it to you!" shouted Hitlin before slapping his two palms together. "Open, Gates of Babylon!" shouted Hitlin as the square of red light appeared behind him, but this time, all of his weapons came out and came together to form a single giant sword. "I will kill you both with this attack and also your friendship!"
"You're totally wrong! Friendship is something that will never be destroyed!" declared Natsu further increasing the violet flames.
"Not in this world or any other!" declared Gray slamming his fist into his palm.
"And this attack is going to prove it!" declared the two in unison.
From the side, Twilight had been standing watching the combat between the two mages and the demon. At first, she was amazed at how her magic had greatly increased the power of the two, but what amazed her the most were the words of the two mages about friendship and that it would never be destroyed. She couldn't help but smile in happiness at that.
"That won't prove anything!" declared Hitlin throwing his massive sword towards them.
"DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ARTS!" shouted Natsu creating two violet fireballs in his hands which he then combined them into one huge violet fireball over his head. "MAGIC FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" shouted Natsu shooting the huge violet fireball.
Meanwhile, Gray created a violet ice bow in his left hand while a violet energy arrow formed in his right.
"Magic Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow!" shouted Gray shooting the violet energy arrow.
Both attacks hit the weapon sword and remained neutral, but soon after, in a mixture of cold and heat, the sword ended up being destroyed before both attacks continued their trajectory, much to the horror of the demon who crossed his weapons in an attempt to block the attack.
"NO! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! I WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN! This… this is the power of friendship?! AAAHHH!" shouted Hitlin as his weapons were destroyed and the two attacks hit him directly, generating an explosion so loud that it could be noticed even outside.
Celestia was shooting at more demon changelings when, suddenly, a tremendous explosion happened at the floating base of the demons.
At first, she was confused by what was happening up there, but then, something unexpected happened. The demon changelings began to shriek in pain before they began to melt into mere puddles of black sludge.
There was silence among the scattered troops before realization hit them. They had won. In the next instant, all the soldiers erupted in cheers of joy as they saw that the enemy had been defeated.
Chrysalis was frustrated that her would-be new hive had been destroyed, but she decided to take that moment to escape while vowing that, someday, she would return for revenge.
"Looks like they've done it." said Luna to her older sister.
"Yes, they have." said Celestia before turning her gaze to the floating base. "You have done well, Twilight, Twilight's friends and mages of Earthland."
Back in the room, smoke caused by the explosion covered the entire room and when it dissipated, Twilight saw Natsu and Gray coming out of their new form and falling backwards onto the floor.
"Guys!" exclaimed Twilight before rushing to their side. "Are you okay?"
"Ha. Don't worry. Something like that won't hurt us much." said Natsu.
"That's right. Fairy Tail mages are tougher than you might think." said Gray.
"Natsu!" exclaimed Happy landing next to him with Spike. "You defeated him!"
"That was the most mind-blowing thing I've ever seen. You truly are strong." said Spike.
"It wasn't just us. We couldn't have done it without Twilight's help." said Natsu.
"It's true. It was her magic that saved us all." said Gray.
"Oh, guys. It's no big deal." said Twilight with a slight blush of embarrassment. "Besides, it wasn't just my magic, it was also your friendship that increased your power."
"Friend with him? And a truncheon I'm friends with this exhibitionist." said Natsu.
"You're lucky I'm too tired to move to beat you up, ash brain." said Gray.
"You to me? I'll be the one beating the crap out of you as soon as I can move." said Natsu.
"Unbelievable. A moment ago they were fighting side by side and now they're arguing." said Spike.
"That's just the way the two of them are." said Happy with a shrug as Twilight chuckled.
"That just goes to show what good friends they are." said Twilight.
As the two mages continued to argue, Twilight was clear about one thing. If the elements of harmony existed in her world, surely the two of them would represent some of them.
AN: Well, what do you think of these chapters of fighting? I hope you liked them.
On a side note, I would like to let you know that the demons I created for this story came to me suddenly one day and I based them on negative aspects of life. Guess which one.
Anyway, see you in the next and last chapter. See you!
