52. A Small Family Reunion!

Chapter 51: A Small Family Reunion!

Soaring like a black bullet across the sky, Itachi in his E form held onto his wife Mirajane. Itachi having just learnt of his wife's pregnancy had decided that he needed to find a safe place for her. "Are you okay? Any discomfort? Any pain?" Itachi frantically asked out of concern, which touched Mirajane deeply but she did think Itachi was getting a bit overbearing.

"I'm fine sweety, really. I'm more worried about you. How is all… this working for you?" Mirajane asked referring to Itachi's E transformation, she worried in case Itachi was beginning to lose his emotions and control to E.

"Yes, I don't feel any resistance from E. I would say that persona is probably gone. Or at least deeply sealed within my subconscious. I can enter and exit this form as much as I like." Itachi eased the concerns Mirajane had for him, well mostly anyway. Mirajane still held some worry that E might still try and take over at some point.

"Okay, well maybe we should meet up with Lisanna and the rest? And head for the guildhall to aid the first master." Mirajane pushed her concerns for Itachi aside for a moment, they still had a war to win.

"I will go and meet up with the others at the guildhall. You will… go and see if any need help being guided to the guildhall." Itachi halted in his speech for a moment, Mirajane feeling that hint of hesitation glared at her husband.

"Why don't you just say go and hide somewhere, or stay away from the battlefield while you are at it?" Mirajane asked sarcastically to which Itachi gained a cold nervous sweat. He really didn't want to have this discussion. "I can still fight Itachi. I mean you even put this protective speck of darkness on me." Mirajane referred to the black spot of demonic marks on her belly Itachi placed on her during their battle with August and Irene.

"Yes, for protection in case you unavoidably end up in a fight. I don't want you to go out and look for trouble." Itachi argued.

"Itachi, I am not going to stand by while my family fights. I will stand with you all and fight." Mirajane argued back, she was firm in her decision but so was Itachi.

"You will stay off the battlefield, end of discussion. That is my order to you as the guild master." Itachi declared, although suddenly felt the grip Mira had on him tighten. He looked to his wife, seeing her giving him one of her angry glares.

"… That's not going to work." Itachi remained stoic, and Mira continued to glare at him. "Mirajane, I'm not going to let you put our child at risk."

"Itachi, I know you are worried. And I love you for it. But I am not some fragile creature. I know how to fight and defend myself. What is more, I trust you." Mirajane pulls Itachi's hand, placing it over her belly where Itachi placed the demonic darkness.

"… Promise me if it seems too dangerous, you will pull out of the fight." Itachi sighed, he couldn't deny that Mirajane was powerful, and a valuable asset in this war.

"I promise sweety, now, let's go and meet up with the others." The couple exchanged a quick kiss, Itachi swiftly changed the direction in which they were flying. Although as they turned the corner, Itachi's eyes noticed sources of chakra approaching.

"…" Itachi without hesitation flew in the direction of the chakra sources. The reports he heard from Warren echoing in his mind, how three sharingan wielders had annihilated reinforcements from a neighboring country in Ishgar. He thought on Obito, and this Neinhart who wielded some type of magic similar to Edo Tensei.

"Itachi…" Mirajane began noticing the source as well, and looked on alert like Itachi.

"Hn." Itachi felt the chakra sources were right under him in this forest he was flying over. The leaves of the tree rustled, as out jumped three figures which left Itachi awestruck. His eyes widening in disbelief as he saw his father Fugaku, dressed in his Police Force uniform, his mother Mikoto, and his former lover Izumi. All of them covered in various cracks like they were aged sculptures, and their eyes black with the iris of their sharingan glowing bright red.

"Fire Style: Fireball!" Without even exchanging a word, Fugaku unleashed a gigantic fireball towards the incoming Itachi and Mirajane.

"Gakido." Itachi widened his Rinnegan, as the fire jutsu from his father got absorbed into a vortex forming in the palm of Itachi's hand. Mikoto and Izumi jumped at him, delivering a dropkick, Itachi blocked their dropkick with his forearm shielding himself and Mirajane. Kunai knifes fell out from his mother's Mikoto's sleeves, crossing her arms she tossed six kunai knifes stabbing into Itachi's forearm. Itachi grunted a bit, and quickly noticed the paper bomb tags attached to the knifes, before the explosion could hit, Itachi shielded himself and Mirajane within one of his Truth Seeker Orbs. "Shinra Tensei!" Itachi unleashed a gravitational push, that tore apart the entire forest area, making a gigantic crater.

With a clearer terrain, Itachi lowered the Truth Seeker Orb containing him and Mirajane, the orb opened and they both stepped out. "Itachi… those people are…" Mirajane recognized them from Itachi's memories, their faces were stuck and implanted within her memory.

"Neinhart…!" Itachi snarled in anger, clutching his fists as he watched his dead parents and former lover climb out of the rubble and wobbly walked towards him like a trio of zombies.

Meanwhile, the little Wendy violently thrusted her tornado cloaked foot into the back of an imperial knight. "Leading Sky Arrow!" The knight cried out in pain, as the wind tore through his armor like a drill and pushed itself into his back.

"Sky God's Boreas!" Spiraling black currents of wind tore through a battalion of imperial knights, blowing away also several magic mobiles in the process, the wind lifted also giant magic tanks with ease. Sherria of Lamia Scale jumped next to her best friend Wendy, and standing back-to-back they, both unleashed their breath attacks. Giant tornados of wind tore through an entire row of imperial knights, sending various vehicles flying.

"Hiyah!" Carla in her human form delivered a spin kick to the head of a knight, knocking him over. Carla picked up the knight's sword and used it to parry a second knight's blade. Carla surprising the knight with her nimble skills as she slipped out from right underneath, and slashed the sword across the knight's back making him cry out in pain as his blood spilled out from the slash wound.

Carla looked over to Wendy and Sherria, the cat girl letting out a surprised gasp as in the blink of an eye, Carla saw a spinning blade flying right at Wendy and Sherria. The blade cut through them, and decapitated the two young sky maidens. Carla widened her eyes in horror seeing the heads of Wendy and Sherria fall down before her eyes.

"Wendy! Sherria! Get down!" Carla shouted, as that was a vision she saw with her clairvoyance. On command, the two sky maidens laid down onto their stomachs, as a giant blade flew spinning over their heads.

"Ho~" A voice hummed as someone appeared next to Carla catching the flying sword. "Nice reaction speed there." Carla gasped as the air was knocked out of her, having been kicked by this blond-haired woman. "I think I will play around with you three cuties~" It was Dimaria of the Spriggan Twelve.

"Her appearance… this level of power. There is no mistaking it… she's Dimaria of the Spriggan Twelve from Kagura's report that Warren gave us." Carla groaned in pain from Dimaria's kick, her face looking rather pale and covered in sweat.

"Careful Wendy, this one can stop time…" Sherria warned as everyone has been made aware Dimaria's abilities due to Kagura's report.

"Heh, so my escaped pet managed to give you lot some intel? Not that it will do you any good. After all, I could kill you all right now if I wanted to. Unless you lot can entertain me that is, then I will give you the satisfaction of putting up a good fight before you die."

"Sky Dragon: Roar!" Wendy unleashed a giant tornado of wind, tearing through the terrain and towards Dimaria. The Warrior Queen of the Twelve smiled and with a downwards swing of her sword she cut the tornado in half.

"Dragon Slayer magic, eh? For a little one, you got quite the firepower in you. But it is not nearly enough." Dimaria quickly used her sword to block an incoming kick from Sherria, who's foot was cloaked in a spiral of black wind. "And God Slayer magic, eh? I see… I will eliminate you first." Dimaria pushed her blade, launching Sherria into the air.

Sherria gasped as she felt the back of her body clash into someone. "Have a nice sleep." It was Dimaria, who slashed her blade across Sherria's back, blood spraying from the sky maiden who yelped in pain as she flew back down to the ground.

"Sherria!" Wendy rushed towards the downed Sherria, although suddenly the blade of Dimaria was in her path. "Sky Dragon: Wing Attack!" Wendy generated massive currents of wind around her forearms, and slammed them into Dimaria who stood before her.

"Is that it?" Dimaria sighed as she negated Wendy's attack with ease. "How disappointing." Dimaria lifted her blade aiming to cut Wendy down.

"Sky God's Bellow!" Suddenly a powerful tornado of black wind clashed into Dimaria's back, Dimaria gasped in slight pain as the wind ripped through her armor and into her skin. Dimaria was launched away several feet from Wendy.

"How? I hit a vital spot. I am certain of it." Dimaria glared at Sherria, who appeared unharmed as she stood tall next to Wendy.

What appeared as steam emitted from Sherria's back, her wound was closing itself up. "I am a Sky God Slayer. I have the ability to heal from any injury!" Sherria charged up a massive current of black wind as she rushed towards Dimaria. "Sky God's Dance!" The giant currents of black wind hoisted Dimaria into the air, getting meet with swift strikes and blows dealt to her body. With a click of her tongue, Dimaria vanished from the currents.

"That so?" Dimaria stabbed her blade straight through Sherria's chest, piercing her heart. Sherria however barely flinched, letting out a war cry as she dealt a swift strike to the end of Dimaria's blade sticking out through her chest. With a palm strike to the side of the blade, Sherria broke Dimaria's blade in half. Sherria dealt a backwards kick into Dimaria's abdomen launching Dimaria back, and pulling out the rest of the blade that was stabbed into Sherria.

Dimaria skidded backwards, carefully observing Sherria. The Sky God Slayer panted, taking in deep breaths as steam emitted from her stab wound. Her injuries healing in the blink of an eye. "Heh~" Dimaria smiled with intrigue at what she witnessed. "Nice, I like that ability of yours. You can still keep going, right?"

Sherria rushed at Dimaria, delivering a series of punch and kicks cloaked in currents of black wind. The sound of clanking metal echoed around as Dimaria used her broken sword to block all of Sherria's attack. "I don't know why, but your scent just heightens my senses and power!" Sherria's attacks grew more ferocious, as she chipped away at Dimaria's sword.

Dimaria casually tossed her sword aside. "Bring me a new one." Dimaria commanded to one of her imperial knights.

"R-Right away!" The man offered up his own blade, tossing it to his mistress. Dimaria caught the blade by the handle, and instantly some strange aura cloaked itself around the sword. Dimaria caught Sherria by the ankle as the God slayer attempted a dropkick. Dimaria thrusted her blade forward stabbing Sherria through the shoulder.

"Sky God's Bellow!" Sherria unleashed a mighty breath attack, the crushing might of the black wind clashing into Dimaria at point blank range. The force of the attack dug up the ground beneath Dimaria, burying her underneath its destructive force, all the while Sherria pushed the tip of Dimaria's blade out from her shoulder, and healed her wound. Sherria's senses warned her, alarming at feeling a sense of danger.

Sherria leaned her body backwards, avoiding the slash of a sword by an inch. The blade nearly touching the tip of her nose, and cutting off some bangs from Sherria's hair. "Sky God's Spear!" Sherria threw an upwards kick aimed at Dimaria's face. The sole tip of her foot cloaked in a sharp current of black wind.

Dimaria held her forearm up, blocking Sherria's attack by pushing her leg back by the ankle. Dimaria proceeded to kick Sherria onto the ground. "Now then little darling, let's see you heal without a head." Dimaria raised her sword, when suddenly a wave of pressure hit her. Dimaria turned her head towards the young Wendy, who's hair had turned pink and rose up a bit.

"Dragon Force…" Wendy's teeth turned into cute little fangs as she rushed at Dimaria, jumping whilst midair and moving at super speed. Wendy appeared next to Dimaria, and delivered an upper cut to the Warrior Queen's chest launching Dimaria several feet in the air. "Sky Dragon: Claw!" Slashing her hand at Dimaria, Wendy generated slash currents of wind cutting into Dimaria's skin.

"Heh, not bad for little cuties like you two, almost remind me of myself when I was your age." Dimaria slashed her blade sending a wave of light soaring towards the sky maidens. Using the wind to boost their speed, Sherria and Wendy dodged the slash wave from Dimaria, but when they looked towards where Dimaria attacked from she wasn't there. Both Wendy and Sherria froze as they felt hands stroke across their cheek, giving them a light pinch. "You both are just so cute. I could just eat you up~"

'I couldn't even detect her scent until the very moment she touched me…' Wendy trembled, if Kagura couldn't beat Dimaria how were they supposed to?

'She's just toying with us!' Sherria swung her arm backwards, launching a wave of black wind that shredded through a group of knights. 'She's gone!' Sherria widened her eyes as she felt someone give her a light slap on the ass.

"So jumpy~" Dimaria giggled seeing Sherria yelp like a little girl. "Now then-" Dimaria halted, feeling the ground beneath her move. The ground wobbly rose up, forming into a giant rock monster.

"Marionette Rock Doll!" Sherria's older cousin Sherry arrived, using her magic to create the rock giant that slammed its fist into Dimaria. The sounds of slashes echoed as cuts appeared at an alarming rate across the rock monster causing it to shatter.

"It's rude to interrupt people." Dimaria glared at Sherry, although before she could move Dimaria found herself trapped within a barrier of sorts. "What is this?"

"Aerial!" Sherry's husband, one of the Blue Pegasus Trimen, Ren jumped in forming the dome of air around Dimaria. "I don't care if you are a pretty lady, no one bullies Sherry."

Dimaria gasped, feeling like she was suffocating as the amount of oxygen lowered within the barrier. Her ears were ringing from this intense pressure. "Cheeky little ability!" Dimaria clicked her teeth together, and in the next moment the sound of shattering glass echoed around them. The air barrier Ren made had been broken, and Dimaria's blade was stabbed into Ren.

"Ren!" Sherry let out a blood curling scream, generating an army of rock giants that went in for the attack.

"Annoying." Dimaria spat, not impressed with Sherry's magic nor her level of magic power which paled in comparison to Wendy and Sherria. All the rock monsters were cut down in an instant by Dimaria. And Sherry was cut across her torso. Sherry gasped as she slowly fell to the ground in a thud next to Ren.

"Sherry! Ren!" Sherria rushed past Dimaria who made no move to stop her. Sherria held her cousin close, and began using healing magic to close up her wound. "Hang on! I will heal you both right away!"

"So sweet~" Dimaria smirked as she raised her sword.

"Ile Arms! Sky Dragon: Claw!" Wendy jumped in and slashed her wind claws at Dimaria's sword, cutting it into multiple pieces.

'She's also an enchanter, eh?' Dimaria smirked, Wendy's enchantments seemed like nothing in comparison to that of Irene. Dimaria dodged a wind enhanced kick from Wendy, the force of the kick sending a strong wind current that cleared the clouds in the night sky, making the full moon shine upon them. "You two are fun, you are both stronger than Linda was that's for sure. But compared to my newest pet, Kagura-chan you fall short." Dimaria delivered an upper cut to Wendy's chest, hoisting the young dragon slayer up in the process.

Wendy vomited out a puddle of blood, feeling her ribs had shattered as Dimaria's fist was cloaked in a strange golden energy. Dimaria pulled her fist back, and backhanded Wendy straight to the face sending her flying to the side. "Wendy!" Carla rushed over to her friend, the Exceed holding her companion closely.

"Anyway, speaking of Kagura-chan… any of you seen her? I'm just dying to put this collar on her." Dimaria was panting a bit heavily with excitement as she held the dog collar in her hand, her face flushed a bit red. Wendy, Carla and Sherria all looked in fright.

"You sick demented witch!" Ren snarled, having been fully healed by Sherria who had also healed Sherry. Sherry also looking at Dimaria with disgust.

"Sick? Demented? A witch I am, but aren't all of us women who can use magic? Sick, well I will admit that I'm not… mentally stable. But other than that, I'm perfectly fine for the most part. I think… Argh!" Dimaria ruffled her hair, her eyes wide and crazed as was her smile. "I just hate thinking about it… almost enough to make me go crazy~"

"What are we going to do? I feel that even if we teamed up, we couldn't take her…" Sherry mumbled, Dimaria was a monster, her magic power was out of this world as was any member of the Twelve. But what is more, Dimaria's time stopping powers made her an impossible opponent for them to beat.

"Yeah, even if we increase our numbers that wouldn't change." Ren nodded in agreement with his wife.

"No, we can't give up! We can take her!" Sherria stood there determined, currents and tornadoes of black winds rising up around her. Even with Wendy in her Dragon Force, Sherria was the strongest one out of their group.

"And how will you do that, cutie?" Dimaria chuckled at Sherria's declaration crossing her arms as she waited for an answer. "Any attack you throw at me will be useless, no matter how powerful. Kagura-chan's final attack was strong enough to rival a member of the Twelve. But it didn't even matter because she couldn't hit me. My time stopping powers make all your attempts useless. So, tell me darling… how are you going to overcome the power of space and time?"

"How about I just show you." Sherria declared as a giant tornado generated around her. "Wendy, do your thing."

"Ile Vernier! Ile Arms! Ile Armor!" Green lights shined around Sherria's body, the strength in her arms doubling in power, her durability increasing, and her speed going beyond its limits.

Sherria vanished in a flash, and in a flash, she appeared before Dimaria. Sherria threw her fist back launching a lightning-fast black wind infused punch. Dimaria couldn't react as Sherria's fist connected to her face, Dimaria's ears were ringing from the shock as she was launched back several feet. Sherria didn't let up and continued with her speedy assault. "Sky God's Blizzard!" Throwing a flurry combination of kicks and punches cloaked with her Sky God Slayer magic, Sherria moved like a flash in her never-ending assault.

Dimaria groaned as she took on the bombardment, the intense speed of Sherria's attacks was so fast Dimaria didn't have time to react, at first that is. Dimaria clicked her teeth and time was frozen. Dimaria stumbled backwards, falling onto her ass as she tried to catch her breath. Dimaria wiped her arms across her busted lip, seeing a trace of blood. "Damn, that was intense." Dimaria smirked with glee. "With the Sky Dragon Slayer's enchantments, this God Slayer is definitely faster than Kagura-chan was. Though her attacks lack the same weight in power." Dimaria wiped some more blood from her lip with her thumb, then proceeded to suck her own blood-stained thumb. "Ah, that stings…" Dimaria let out a longing sigh.

Dimaria looked to Sherria, who was frozen like a beautiful statue. The black currents of wind surrounding her like that of a marvelous sculpture, with her cute face looking fierce and determined. "Should I just end this now? Or could she possibly entertain me more? Hmmm…" Dimaria picked up a random sword on the ground, infusing her golden aura into the blade. "I really want to find that Itachi Uchiha, I think it would be fun to fight a strong man. Or maybe find that Kakuzu guy or Kisame. They all seemed like fun playmates. But, let's at least see what this cutie can manage at full power first." Dimaria smiled as she looked to the frozen Sherria.

With a click of her teeth, time resumed once more and Sherria continued her flurry of attacks letting out a war cry as she danced with her attacks. Dimaria however began dodging and avoiding Sherria's attacks. "Did she manage to freeze time during all that?"

"Now, sweetheart. Your moves are easy to read once I figured them out. You should probably use your big finisher now before it is too late. It would be a shame if I didn't get to see it." Dimaria taunted as she continued to avoid the enhanced speedy attacks of Sherria.

Sherria groaned in frustration, black spirals of wind generating around her forearm. The shape of the wind itself looked like black feathered wings of an angel. Lifting her arms up, Sherria gathered the nearby air from the sky above, making her attack increase to great lengths and magnitude. Sherria proceeds to condense the wind into an elegant mass. The current grows larger and wraps itself around her, while a spiral gathers before her hands. The currents around her back take the shape of four black angelic wings. "God Slayer Secret Art: Heavenly Gathering of the Clouds!" Thrusting her arms forward, Sherria unleashed the black wind currents collected into two giant spirals.

"Like I said, useless. But pretty." As Dimaria is about to click her teeth, something latches onto her from behind making Dimaria flinch. "What the?!" Turning around Dimaria sees little Wendy holding onto Dimaria tightly.

"Do it! Sherria!" Wendy gave the all clear, as Sherria unleashed her attack.

"You were wrong in one thing. Kagura's report was useful. Because you so foolishly revealed the weakness of your own magic." Carla laid in some rubble, mumbling with a bloodied smile. "You can only keep time frozen as long as you don't get into physical contact with someone. That are the conditions for your magic." Dimaria gasped in shock, as she recalled the ending of her battle with Kagura.

Flashback

Kagura coughed up blood, as she was bleeding internally from Dimaria having stabbed her with the Archenemy. "H-How? Y-You shouldn't have been able to… keep time frozen for that long…" Kagura grunted as she glared into Dimaria's eyes.

"That's what you thought? Heh, adorable~" Dimaria looked was as if she was adoring a little animal like a puppy, her eyes gleaming with joy as she looked at Kagura in her current state. "I will let you in on a secret. I can keep time frozen for as long as I want. However, I can only keep time frozen as long as I don't come into contact with anyone. The moment I touch someone, time starts moving again."

Flashback end

Dimaria grunted as she saw the incoming attack, she had only told that to Kagura because she thought she wasn't going to be a problem anymore. "Are you seriously going to hurt her to get to me?! Guess we aren't so different after all! I like your tactic!" Despite the situation Dimaria smirked with glee.

"No! I can heal Wendy just fine afterwards! Unlike you I don't leave my comrades for dead! This is the power of my love and friendship with Wendy!" Sherria declared as the spiraling currents clashed into Dimaria.

Dimaria grunted, and Wendy yelped in pain as they were hit by Sherria's attacks. Wendy didn't let go, she even enchanted herself to increase her own durability. No matter what, she couldn't let Dimaria stop time for even a single second. "Hahahahaha!" Dimaria let out a crazed laughter, even as the shards of feathered shaped wind currents tore into her flesh. "Nice tactic! But haven't you ever wondered why I can stop time?!" Dimaria's body then exploded in a pillar of golden aura. "I was saving my trump card for a more… impressive opponent. But I have to say, you little cutie pies actually pushed me this far!"

Wendy was blown away from the sheer shockwave of Dimaria's aura, the pillar of energy pushing back Sherria's attack. The direction of the wind warping itself around Dimaria, the skies themselves getting pulled in towards her. Dimaria's eyes glowed golden. "God Soul: Chronos!" The pillar of energy imploded, negating Sherria's finisher and sending so powerful shockwaves that it threatened to blow them all away.

"W-What is this? God Soul takeover magic?" Carla trembled in fear, the sheer power unleashed by Dimaria was unbelievable even for that of the Twelve they had faced so far. Ajeel, Brandish, Bloodman, Wall Eehto, all paled in comparison to the energy unleashed from Dimaria.

"Is this the power of a God?" Ren asked shaken up in fear at what he was sensing.

"Now then… little God Slayer, want to tangle with a real God?" Dimaria's golden hair was standing up and moving like flames. Her body covered in what looked like a black jumpsuit, covered in glowing golden lines of divine energy. Dimaria's skin also looked paler, and her eyes glowed in a brilliant gold.

Sherria grunted, now she understood why her senses went all crazy when she saw Dimaria. She could sense the energy of a God within her. This was Sherria's first time actually encountering a God, so the feeling was unfamiliar to her before now. Tightening her fists, Sherria gathered what she had left of power and glared at Dimaria. "Bring it! My magic is meant to slay corrupt evil Gods like yourself!"

"Sherria… don't your magic power… is nearly depleted." Wendy warned her friend, trying to reach out but her legs wouldn't move in the face of Dimaria's frightening aura.

"I have to try! This is what I was meant for!" Sherria declared, as a God Slayer this was her duty.

"But Sherria, if you fight her, you will-" Wendy knew it, Sherry knew it, Ren knew it, Carla knew it. Heck, Sherria herself knew it, that she would die if she fought Dimaria as she was now.

"I know, but I'm going to protect you, Wendy! I swear it!" Sherria rushed forward at Dimaria, although as she did a wall of stone got in-between them. "Huh?!" A wooden hand grabbed onto Sherria, Wendy and Carla. "Sherry!" Sherria looked down, seeing her cousin using her marionette magic.

"Sherria… run, please." Sherry smiles warmly at her younger cousin. Dimaria shattered through the stone wall with ease, but before she could advance rocks clashed into her body. Ren using his air magic to lift the broken rocks and fire them off like bullets. "And please…" Sherry shed tears. She was trembling. "Take care of Shen."

"Huh? Sherry! What are you talking about?! Take care of Shen?! But he is your son! As his mom you have to take care of him!" Sherria began to cry, fearing what her cousin was planning. "You can't die on him! You guys have to shower him with lots of love!"

"… Sherria, you have to shower him twice the amount of love, for our sakes. Make sure Shen grows into a strong and healthy boy. Make sure to tell him every day how much we loved him and are proud of him when he grows up." Sherria cries and shakes her head.

"No! Sherry! You have to be there! Let's all just run away! I won't fight, okay?! Please let us just run!" Sherria pleads, yet Sherry doesn't loosen the grip of her wood doll.

"Sherria, promise me." Sherry cried. She knew that if they all tried to escape Dimaria would kill them on the spot. Her time stopping abilities was not something one could run away from.

"Sherry…" Sherria sniffed a bit, her vision all watery from her tears. "I promise…" Her voice sounded broken.

Sherry smiled lovingly at hearing Sherria make her promise. "I love you so much, Sherria." Sherry cried as she reeled her arm back, and so her wood doll did the same, and then she tossed Sherria, Wendy and Carla away a great distance.

"Sherry! Ren!" Sherria cried out as she was sent flying into the distance.

Sherry sent all her wood and rock dolls charging at Dimaria, and Ren created a giant air dome over Dimaria, taking away her oxygen. The dome broke like glass, and all the dolls were cut down. Sherry looks to Ren, holding her hand out. Ren looks to his wife, smiles and nods as he reaches his hand out and grabs a hold of hers.

As the rock dolls and wooden dolls are crumbling around them, gathering into a dust cloud. Sherry and Ren are holding hands, looking lovingly into each other's eyes as they accepted their fate. "I love you." They both say at the same time, and they don't take their eyes off each other for even a moment, not even as Dimaria's blade is sent hurdling spinning at them out from the dust cloud.

Further away, Wendy and Carla supported up the crying Sherria. The two Fairy Tail girls also shedding tears for the sacrifice of Ren and Sherry. "We need to get to the guildhall…" Wendy mumbled. The message given to all Fairy Tail wizards by Mavis still fresh her mind.

Back with Dimaria, the Warrior Queen exited her God Soul form, reverting back to her standard appearance. Dimaria looked down on the headless corpses of Sherry and Ren. Her knights looking surprised at her next course of action, as Dimaria claps her hands together as a sign of prayer and of respect. "Thanks for the fun." Once Dimaria was done offering her respects, she turned to her knights. "Now then, let's chase those three cuties." Dimaria and her knights ran in the direction Sherry had tossed Sherria, Wendy and Carla to earlier.

Dimaria grows impatient, and freezes time for all but her and her own soldiers. They continue in this realm of frozen time and space, and it doesn't take long for them to catch up. Dimaria for fun undoes the time freeze as she sees Wendy, Sherria and Carla within reach. "Found you~!" She calls out making all three of them gasp in terror.

"Don't tell me she can decide who she freezes the time for and not?!" Carla looked in fear as she saw Dimaria's knights were with her. But then, strangely they hear a voice singing. Dimaria and her men all freeze, and tense up. Where was this voice coming from? It sounded so harmonic and had a perfect pitch to it.

"Singing?" Dimaria looks in bewilderment, she is further caught off guard as she notices one of her own men swinging his sword at her. Dimaria on instinct cuts this traitor down without a moment of hesitation. "What's going on here?" Dimaria looks confused, seeing her own men surrounding her and armed to the teeth. Dimaria began cutting down her own men as they attacked her.

"Go! Go!" Wendy, Sherria and Carla took advantage of this odd situation and made a run for it.

"Why the hell are you attacking me?! I am your mistress!" Dimaria demanded an answer, she didn't take kindly to traitors. Not receiving an answer from either of her men, Dimaria continued to cut them down, one by one. Her blade cutting through theirs like a hot knife through butter, her aura making their magic attacks bounce off to the side.

As she wasn't surrounded anymore, Dimaria had cut down all of her own men. But she sensed one more presence of killer intent, so Dimaria swung her blade around to cut down this last person in her presence. To Dimaria's shock however, she doesn't cut through this one's blade, as the metals of their blades cling together. The clash of these two blades generating a shockwave that blew away the dust and the corpses of Dimaria's 200 dead soldiers.

Further to Dimaria's shock, as she widens her eyes, feeling her blade getting pushed back by this person's overwhelming strength. The shadow of this person towered over her in height, it must be a man Dimaria thought. But then the light of the full moon shines through the clouds and lands like a spotlight onto them. Dimaria widens her eyes as she sees the Amazonian warrior like looking woman smiling back at her. It was Beatrice, Wizard Saint and master of the guild Mermaid Heel.

"It's a nice full moon out, isn't it?" Beatrice, holding her blade in one hand pushes Dimaria back further. In a swift motion, Beatrice thrusts her blade forward at Dimaria. Dimaria is quick to tilt her head to the side, but gasps in shock as her face had been cut, drawing out her red blood that dripped onto the ground.

'I didn't even see her attack…' Dimaria is frozen in a look of awe at the sheer finesse and speed of Beatrice's thrust, and form.

"You are the one who bullied Kagura-chan and Millianna-chan, right?" Beatrice asked in what sounded like a friendly tone of voice, but Dimaria could feel the venom behind her words. "I am Beatrice of the Ten Wizard Saints, and the master of those two girls' guild, Mermaid Heel. Pleased to make your acquaintance, darling." Beatrice unleashes a light purple colored aura, her aura was so intense that Dimaria even buckled under the pressure, falling onto one knee before Beatrice.

Dimaria cracks a smile. "Heh, nice. You are the one who killed Linda, right?" Dimaria pushed herself back up. "Nice, I'm happy to see that girl was killed by someone this strong." Dimaria unleashes her own golden aura, standing before Beatrice with a look of glee, while Beatrice looks with scornful eyes, yet she smiles.

Meanwhile, in a dense forest area a loud sonic boom echoed across the landscapes, and multiple trees were broken and cut down, as two blasts fired through the dense forest. Crashing into rows of trees were Laxus Dreyar and the former Edolas Commander, War World Itachi Uchiha. The former commander slammed his mechanical fist into the dirt, skidding backwards as he dug up the ground. Laxus also regained his footing, but took a jump as his body moved like a lightning bolt. 'He sure is fast.' Commander Itachi commented as he saw Laxus' speed.

Laxus bolted forward, his body cloaked in lightning as his gaze was focused on his target. Wall Eehto stood at the starting point of the blown down trees, and the dug-up ground. Having blasted Laxus and the former commander away earlier with a shock blast. Wall grinned from ear to ear as he stared at the incoming Laxus. "Alchemy, fuse copper and sink, drill them into 16mm bullets… FIRE!" Wall spoke in a mechanical voice as out from magic circles shot out a whole battalion's worth of magic bullets.

Laxus grunted as a few bullets penetrated through his shoulder, Laxus despite the pain threw his arm back generating a huge amount of electricity. "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Roaring Thunder!" Laxus threw his lightning coated fist in a punch, releasing a burst of lightning energy that spread across a large area as a wall. The lightning incinerated the remaining incoming bullets. Laxus followed up by increasing the voltage surrounding his fist. "Lightning Dragon: Iron Fist!" Laxus slugged at Wall's face, however the machias Spriggan caught the lightning infused punch. His mechanical fist glowing bright blue, as a compartment in his palm sucked in all the lightning.

Wall snickered as steam emitted from elbow of his other arm. "It's no use, meatbag!" Wall slugged Laxus across the face, the force of Wall's punch was so strong that Laxus crashed face first into the dirt. Magic circles formed around Wall Eehto, and out stuck the barrels of various cannons, charging up magic blasts. "Turn to ash now you foolish human!" Wall cackled, and Laxus grunted as Wall held onto his head making sure he couldn't get up and dodge.

Laxus roared as he pushed his arms up, raising his body and effectively surprising Wall who was getting lifted up a bit. 'This human, he has quite the willpower.'

"Argh!" Laxus roared, his roar causing tremors to erupt all around him. Wall then released Laxus from the grip of his hand, and resulted to stomping down at the back of Laxus' head pushing his face back into the dirt.

"Stop struggling and just perish already-" Wall's face was then smacked by a gigantic dark red spectral fist. A second spectral hand lifted Laxus up from the ground, holding the lightning Dragon slayer firmly in his grasp. Commander Itachi came flying in with his upper body skeleton stage Susano'o.

Wall Eehto flipped his body midair, spinning around until he landed on solid ground. "Ho? The Susano'o eh? It is quite different from Madara's." Wall with a flick of his fingers had the remaining of his machias army that surrounded them all in this forest charge up. "Let us see how much it can take!" Wall charged up his own attacks, launching missiles flying straight for Commander Itachi's Susano'o.

Commander Itachi's eyes looked bloodshot, he focused his chakra into his eye, putting so much focus in it he began to cry tears of blood. "Huh? The wind has shifted?" Wall's sensors picked up this anomaly with the sudden change in wind direction.

"We might want to duck." Edolas Mirajane feeling the wind change, warned Elfman and the Thunder Legion. All recognized this sensation from their experiences with Itachi as well, so they all hit the floor laying down.

"Amaterasu!" Commander Itachi focused his gaze onto the machias army surrounding them. When suddenly a flicker of black fire appeared onto one of the machias soldiers. The black flames of Amaterasu started spreading more violently, catching the surrounding trees on fire, and spreading onto every single machia soldier of Wall Eehto's army that meet Commander Itachi's gaze.

"Whoa!" Blitzkrieg panicked and quickly did the most strategic move, he got as close as possible to Elfman and the rest. Blitzkrieg tackled Elfman to the ground, both wrestling around. Commander Itachi clicked his tongue, he couldn't risk catching his wife, and the rest in his Amaterasu. Now that all but Blitzkrieg had been dealt with of Wall Eehto's army, Commander Itachi set his sights onto the Spriggan himself.

"Damn, it would be bad if I got hit with that." Wall looked a bit nervous, and was quick to create walls of magic circles to catch the black fire. "Analyze complete, before combusting into black fire. A heat signature appears in the air for approximately 0,001 second before the black flames emerge." Wall generated a series of magic circles around him. "Counter measure procedures in progress. Estimated chances of success 43%. These odds, are acceptable." With a flick from Wall, the surrounding air around him, Commander Itachi and Laxus exploded in a fiery explosion to counter the black flames of Amaterasu.

"Is he trying to fight fire with fire?!" Laxus questioned at this tactic from Wall Eehto.

"No, that is impossible. The Amaterasu has the ability to burn even fire itself. It cannot be overcome this way." Commander Itachi looked with unease. He had never encountered a foe like Wall Eehto before.

What followed from Wall, was a giant lightning pulse bomb explosion. The force of the explosion even pushed Commander Itachi with his Susano'o back a bit. The black flames of Amaterasu were also prevented from advancing by this sudden shockwave blowing it backwards. The flames were coming towards Commander Itachi and Laxus. "Shit!" Commander Itachi focused his gaze on the incoming black fire, more blood running out from his eyes as he managed to snuff the incoming flames out just in time. 'The explosion served merely as a wall to prevent the flames from reaching him while he charged up that pulse bomb! No, not only that, I see… so that is what he is after!' Commander Itachi grunted as he fell onto his knee, having exhausted a great deal of chakra from using the Amaterasu to such a great extent. Nearly the entire forest was caught ablaze along with Wall's army. Commander Itachi was a bit out of breath as he stopped the Amaterasu to conserve more energy for later.

"Procedure was a success, target tired himself out from continuing using such a powerful jutsu. Damage dealt to unite Wall Eehto estimated at 2%. Ethernano recharge in procedure, estimated time until fully recharged, 10 seconds. Estimated chances of victory, 100%." Wall Eehto spoke in a robotic voice as his body continued to evolve. Now they were all trapped in a giant ring of black inextinguishable flames. But the question is, who is trapped with whom?

Blitzkrieg continued to wrestle around with Elfman, both giant titans pushing each other back with their intense strength. Blirzkrieg's face shifted into the Jacko lantern looking one, as he cackled maniacally in Elfman's face. "Shut your trap!" Elfman in his Lizardman form roared as he headbutted the laughing machine.

"Little ratz! You all will burn!" Blitzkrieg cackled as booster ignitions emerged from his lower back, unleashing a blazing blast of fire. Elfman grunted, able to withstand the fire thanks to his defensive scales, but the same could not be said for the rest.

"Ever!" Elfman shouted as he looked to Evergreen, Bickslow, Freed who all were blown away by the intense force of the ignitions, and burnt by its fire.

"Don't worry about us! Just take the bastard down!" Evergreen spread her arms, as she unleashed a fire barrage of light needles. "Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!" The light needles soared like machine gun fire towards Blitzkrieg, yet they barely made a dent in his durable mechanical body. "No way!" Evergreen looked in shock, her attack wasn't even able to make a dent in Blitzkrieg.

"Ugh! Eat shit bastard! Baryon Formation!" Bickslow's dolls span around in a circle, generating a giant whirlwind of green energy. The dolls then unleashed a giant laser beam of energy at Blitzkrieg's back. The blast connected, and generated a shockwave upon impact. Bickslow however gasped in shock as the smoke cleared, revealing an unharmed Blitzkrieg. "Ain't no way! That was my strongest long ranged attack!" Bickslow sweated as even that didn't make a dent in Blitzkrieg's durable mechanical body.

"Kahahaha! Fools! Did you think little antz could fight against a dinosaur?!" Blitzkrieg from his arm wrists summoned forth blades of ice, shooting them out towards Evergreen, Bickslow and Freed.

"Lightning Blade!" Rushing in like a bolt of lightning was Edolas Mirajane, her hand coated in a blade of lightning that cut right through the ice blades. Her eyes glaring at Blitzkrieg with intense fury, as she rushed at a blitzing speed. The violent crackling lightning of her lightning blade tearing apart the ground bellow, as she aimed to thrust the blade at Blitzkrieg.

"Die! Little mouse!" Blitzkrieg unleashed a spray of fire from his palm like it was a flamethrower. Edolas Mirajane however jumped avoiding the blazing flames, the heat of the fire tickling at her back as she twirled and span midair towards Blitzkrieg. Edolas Mirajane thrusted her lightning blade forward, piercing straight through Blitzkrieg's arm. The sound of her crackling lightning sounding like the chirping of one thousand birds.

"Whatz?!" Blitzkrieg recoiled in shock, having lost the arm he just got reattached by Wall Eehto after he lost it to Edolas Droy. 'That woman iz dangerous! She pierced through mine mechanical body with such ease!' Blitzkrieg was now worried, if Edolas Mirajane managed to hit him with that Lightning Blade again she might do some serious damage.

"She got him!" Evergreen and Bickslow both looked in shock.

"Alright, looks like we have a plan." Freed remained level headed. "Dark Ecriture: Wings!" Using his runes, Freed created a pair of wings on his back and took flight towards Blitzkrieg, his sword raised and ready. "Dark Ecriture: Destruction!" Freed slashed the blade inches away from Blitzkrieg's face, generating a violent shockwave that caused the ground beneath Blitzkrieg to explode as well.

Blitzkrieg feeling annoyed, pushed his remaining arm out through the smoke left by the explosion to grab Freed's face. "You dare cut mein face?!" Blitzkrieg had turned red, his face showing visible signs of anger as a cut mark was visible on his cheek. Blitzkrieg grabbed onto Freed, although it felt odd. Blitzkrieg felt as if he had grabbed onto the arm of a beast. But Elfman was currently resisting the flames unleashed by Blitzkrieg's ignition boosters.

"Dark Ecriture: Darkness!" Blitzkrieg was slugged across the face by a demonic monster like fist, as the smoke cleared revealing Freed in some demonic monster like form. "Darkness Breath!" Freed molded the dark energy surrounding himself, into a giant destructive tornado to blast into Blitzkrieg.

"Time to turn up the heat!" Blitzkrieg like a certain hotheaded pyro unleashed a massive blazing amount of fire. The fire growing from this intense whirlwind, morphing it into a whirlwind of fire. The whirlwind imploded, sending Freed flying backwards crashing into Bickslow and Evergreen. "Now you all burn!" Using his remaining hand, Blitzkrieg charged up another flame thrower blast.

"No, you don't!" Elfman got up behind him, grabbing Blitzkrieg in a Nelson hold. Even as the booster ignitions continued to spray flames into Elfman, his Lizardman body withstood the fire. "That's my woman you trying to burn!" Elfman declared causing Evergreen to blush a bit. Elfman lifted Blitzkrieg's body off the ground threw Blitzkrieg on his head in a suplex move.

"Insolent welp!" Blitzkrieg's boosters went in reverse, sending himself and Elfman spinning in a circle, until Blitzkrieg made it so he would crush Elfman underneath the heavy weight of his robotic body. Blitzkrieg sending Elfman crashing into the ground, the earth tearing itself up underneath from the thud of the crash. Then Blitzkrieg's face changed into his icy blue like face, with a big red eye that resembled that of a monocle. "Freeze to death, beast." The flames of the boosters were suddenly snuffed out, as it instead released a chilling blizzard.

"What the?!" Elfman groaned as his body started getting coated in ice. Blitzkrieg smirked, as once Elfman was frozen, he could crush his body to pieces. Blitzkrieg's sensors began beeping, diverting the attention of the second in command. "Whatz this?" Gold particles of ethernano surrounded them, like a swirling drill.

"I am the true fairy Queen, and only I may be on top of that cute beast." Evergreen glared at Blitzkrieg. Her blushing face hidden behind her fan. Evergreen had no idea why she just said that. "Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!" The golden particle dust around Blitzkrieg and Elfman began erupting into miniature explosions.

Blitzkrieg groaned in annoyance. The explosions barely made a dent in his armor but they certainly dusted it. "Do you have any idea how long it will take me to polish mein body?!" However, Blitzkrieg was then hoisted and lifted up into the air.

"You ain't no man! Even as a machine you worry about something as trivial as looks! Elfman lifted Blitzkrieg's body over his head, the robotic machias warrior looking shocked. Despite Blitzkrieg's body weighing approximately over 50 tons, Elfman still lifted him like he was a mere ragdoll.

'That woman! The goal of her explosions was to free this beast from the ice?!' Blitzkrieg was body slammed into the ground causing the earth to erupt into a geyser like explosion.

Elfman looked out of breath. Elfman stared down at Blitzkrieg that looked like a planted vegetable stuck in the ground with his legs pointing upwards. The ground however began to freeze, and Elfman groaned as giant ice spikes pushed into him, pushing him away from Blitzkrieg. The ground then began looking like molten lava, as flames began erupting out from it.

Blitzkrieg picked himself up, looking with his crazed Jacko lantern like looking face. "Kahahahaha! Your puny fists can never be enough to damage mein body!" Even in his Lizardman form, Elfman was unable to deal damage to Blitzkrieg's body. Blitzkrieg then cried out in pain, as he was launched forward from a chakra enhanced kick by Edolas Mirajane.

The last of the Edolas Strauss siblings out for blood, flashed a single hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Edolas Mirajane made up to 20 Shadow Clones of herself, which was her absolute limit. All 20 clones rushed at the flying Blitzkrieg, catching up to him in an instant one of the clones dealt an upper kick to Blitzkrieg's abdomen. The second in command was launched into the air.

Before Blitzkrieg could even react, he was kicked by another clone, launching him further up in the air. All 20 clones continued to launch the second in command further up in the air. 'This strange energy substance! It boosts up her attack power by this much?!' Blitzkrieg questioned to himself, seeing Edolas Mirajane's legs cloaked in chakra. The continuing kicking to his abdomen, began making dents in Blitzkrieg's armor. A plating of armor even broke off. 'How is she even reaching up this high?! She can't fly, can she?!' Blitzkrieg questioned seeing as they had nearly pierced the clouds.

Scanning with his sensors, Blitzkrieg noticed that the Edolas Mirajane clones were tossing each other into the air to reach Blitzkrieg. And that they even kicked the air itself should they not be tossed high enough to reach Blitzkrieg. "There is no way this woman is human!" Blitzkrieg stared in shock, seeing the Edolas Mirajane clones kicking the air to launch themselves at him.

Blitzkrieg nearly yelped as he saw three Edolas Mirajane's hovering over him, and from what his sensors could tell the middle one was the original. All three raised their dominant leg up high, infused with chakra they drop kicked Blitzkrieg into his abdomen. "Lions Barrage!" Blitzkrieg soared down like a meteorite, crashing hard onto the ground that shook the area. Nearby birds were spooked and flew out from between the trees.

All three Edolas Mirajane's then flashed a different hand seal each. One of the clones puffed her cheeks, and out from her lips sprayed out a giant ball of fire. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" The second clone also puffed her cheeks, inhaling the surrounding wind. "Wind Style: Vacuum Blast!" Unleashing a massive wind blast that together with the fireball clashed into Blitzkrieg in a gigantic inferno of fire.

"Ah! Hot! Hot! Hot!" Blitzkrieg cried out from within the fire.

The two clones of Edolas Mirajane vanished, leaving only the original hovering in the air above. Looking down on Blitzkrieg with a death glare, as the chirping sound of one thousand birds echoed around her, as lightning crackled around her hand. "Lightning Blade!" Like a bolt of thunder, Edolas Mirajane soared down from the heavens above and towards Blitzkrieg and the fire.

"N-Nein!" Blitzkrieg looked in terror, as Edolas Mirajane with her lightning blade cut the raging fire around them in half. Blitzkrieg had managed to get back up, and jump out of the way from Edolas Mirajane's lightning blade. Edolas Mirajane looked with her ice blue cold eyes from the corner of her vision, glaring at Blitzkrieg. Edolas Mirajane's eyes glowed from the flickering lightning illuminating them. And before Blitzkrieg could react, Edolas Mirajane had blitzed him and with her lightning blade she ripped off a great chunk of Blitzkrieg's abdomen. Leaving a gaping hole in Blitzkrieg's side.

"Tch! I missed." Edolas Mirajane clicked her tongue in frustration, as she meant to hit the giant hulking machine dead center in an attempt to destroy his core.

Blitzkrieg however, looked spooked. Signifying how close Edolas Mirajane was to actually hitting his core. The destroyed circuits from the gaping hole in Blitzkrieg's side flickered out sparks of electricity. With this injury he had become more vulnerable to other attacks.

"Edolas or not, Mirajane is still strong." Freed commended, and his companions couldn't help but agree.

"Something tells me she could take down this hulking piece of junk by herself." Evergreen commented.

"Of course, she could! Because any version of nee-chan is manly!" Elfman smirked, thinking on how they were going to take Blitzkrieg down for his own Edolas counterpart, and for Edolas Jet and Droy sakes.

"I will kill you all!" Blitzkrieg in his panic, launched several missiles from his body. Sending them all soaring towards Elfman, Edolas Mirajane, Evergreen, Bickslow and Freed. Freed exited his Darkness form, and jumped before all the incoming missiles. "Dark Ecriture: Reflect!" With a swing of his sword, all of Blitzkrieg's missiles reflected back towards Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg in a rush created a barrier to shield himself from the explosions of his own missiles. "Dark Ecriture: Absolute Shadow!" Freed now cladded in armor, rushes at Blitzkrieg and with a mighty jab, Freed pierces through the barrier like a spear.

'He's aiming for the damaged area!' Blitzkrieg was quick to notice the target within Freed's line of sight. Blitzkrieg jumped aside and kicked Freed off to the side.

"Beast Soul: Weretiger!" With a mighty roar, Elfman in his Weretiger form jumped at Blitzkrieg. The claws on his hand extending as he slashes at Blitzkrieg. Elfman's claws leaving violent scratches across Blitzkrieg's chest, having cut through his armored body.

"Your puny claws may scratch mein body! But you will never reach mein core!" Blitzkrieg cackled as Elfman's efforts were futile in the end, like always. Blitzkrieg with his remaining hand slugged Elfman across the face, sending Elfman flying off his feet. "Without that lizardman form of yours, you are even more vulnerable to mein attacks!"

Elfman growled, and then he suddenly vanished in a flash. "Whatz?!" Elfman moved like a cheetah. Elfman's defenses may have been lowered but in return Elfman had gained more speed. Blitzkrieg's sensors managed to detect Elfman, however before he could react his back was pierced by the weretiger claws.

"Now you bastard! I will tear you apart!" Elfman sunk his claws into the gaping hole in Blitzkrieg's side left by Edolas Mirajane. Blitzkrieg flinched, and groaned feeling Elfman's claws digging around his insides. Wires were getting cut, machinery torn to shreds, oil began leaking out from Blitzkrieg.

"Vermin!" Blitzkrieg let out a beastly like shriek, that sent sonic vibrations around him. Elfman flinched feeling the sound vibrations entering his ears, with his weretiger form his hearing was also enhanced.

"Argh!" Elfman pulled his hand out from Blitzkrieg, to cover both his own ears from these sound vibrations.

Freed, Bickslow, Evergreen and Edolas Mirajane also fell to their knees, covering their ears. Edolas Mirajane's shadow clones even vanished one by one. Their legs felt like jelly, unable to move due to the sound vibrations affecting their senses.

"Die!" Blitzkrieg prepared to fire various magic bullets, and missiles at his now restrained targets.

"I-I won't let you!" Bickslow's eyes glowed green from within his helmet. "Babies!" Bickslow called forth his dolls, one of which flew up at Bickslow himself in an upper cut that knocked Bickslow's helmet off. "Figure Eyes!" Bickslow's eyes glowed as he stared into the face of Blitzkrieg, his eyes sending out waves of a green aura that resonated around Blitzkrieg's body.

Freed groaned and smirked. 'Good work Bickslow, seeing as Blitzkrieg is a robot. You should be able to control him with your figure eyes. And then use your Crumble spell to destroy him from within once you have taken possession of him.' It was all going according to plan, with Wall Eehto and Blitzkrieg having been confirmed to be none human, Freed concocted this plan with Bickslow should they ever encounter the Spriggan again.

Blitzkrieg froze, seizing the sound vibrations as his movements were restrained. "Now, I will turn you into one of my babies, you oversized piece of junk." Bickslow smirked.

The rest managed to pick themselves up, now that the sound vibrations from Blitzkrieg had stopped. "Hell no, I'm destroying this hunk of junk." Edolas Mirajane snarled, nothing would stop her bloodlust at this point. "Lightning Blade!" The lightning crackled around her hand, as she rushed in for one last attack.

"Too bad, meatbags." Blitzkrieg cackled as he fired off a missile at the incoming Edolas Mirajane. Edolas Mirajane narrowed her eyes, as she jabbed her lightning blade forward cutting through the missile, and continued to move forward as the cut missile blew up behind her. "But your soul possession trick failed~" A hundred missiles launched from Blitzkrieg's body and soared towards them all.

Edolas Mirajane clicked her tongue, and changed her path as she sliced through a number of missiles heading in Elfman's direction. She continued to move at blitzing speed and cut through all the remaining missiles one by one, and all exploded behind her. "Ho, impressive my dear, you cut through all 100 missiles in less than 10 seconds. But too bad, it seems you have no more gas in the tank for another one of those lightning blades." Blitzkrieg cackled seeing Edolas Mirajane out of breath and on one knee. "You fool, protecting these weaklings, when you should have attacked me. If you had, you would without a doubt have killed me. But that is why you humans are inferior creatures. Your sentimental emotions, are your greatest weakness!"

"B-But how, my possession should have worked…" Bickslow sounded confused, a mere robot shouldn't be able to resist his possessions.

"Kahahahaha! Fools! I am no mere robot! I am a machias! I am a sentient lifeform! I may not be of flesh and blood! But I am not an inanimate object either! Mein core makes sure of that. With this core I am neither a living being, nor an inanimate object for you to control!" Blitzkrieg mocked, his Jacko lantern like face laughed in their faces as with Edolas Mirajane seemingly out of commission, his victory was assured.

Wall Eehto launched himself forward, booster ignitions burning strongly from the sole of his feet. He threw his fist back, and launched it forward into an air punch. The intensity and the force of the punch creating an air cannon that launched Laxus and Commander Itachi skidding backwards, and cleared an entire line of the forest, even making the Amaterasu flames part ways for a brief moment. "Kahaha!" Wall cackled, even as Laxus took a leap back at Wall, coating his body in lightning and twirling his body in various flips midair, Laxus delivered a stunning drop kick into Wall's solar plexus.

The ground trembled and exploded with a pillar of lightning as a result of Laxus drop kicking Wall Eehto to the ground. "Analysis complete. Overwriting current personality setting into coldhearted. Strengthening exoskeleton. Switching to Assault Mode. Sole targets of elimination set to Laxus Dreyar, and alternate version of Itachi Uchiha. Diverting all magic power to magic fusion oven ignition." Wall spoke in a robotic voice, as suddenly a blast attack was launched from his body and towards Laxus and Commander Itachi. Both stared with wide eyes, as the explosion of the blast attack scorched the very earth and the heavens above.

Amidst the smoke, the burning spectral aura of Commander Itachi's Susano'o shielded him and Laxus from the blast with the Yata Mirror. In a smoking crater, stood Wall Eehto, looking stoic and with upgraded armor. "Target confirmed, indestructible shield detected. Bypassing target's defenses in procedure." Wall vanished in a flash, having taken a giant leap up from the crater he threw his fist back, and punched the head of the Susano'o.

Commander Itachi grunted, seeing cracks appearing on his Susano'o. Focusing on the damaged area, Commander Itachi attempted to heal the damage. But, compartments in Wall's wrists opened revealing ignition boosters. "Mach 10 level Punch!" Wall Eehto's sensors beeped, as the boosters ignited and as they did the head of the Susano'o shattered, and it along with Commander Itachi and Laxus were launched high into the air, breaking the sound barrier in a loud sonic Boom!

"Target's defenses are down. Homing systems open. Missiles launched!" Hundreds of missiles launched from Wall Eehto's body, and bombarded into the remains of the Susano'o, with the homing system the missiles managed to work their way around the Yata Mirror. "Demo-Laser! Fire!" Wall then proceeded to unleash a laser beam. Although before the laser could connect, the smoke of the explosions left by the missiles were blown away, and the laser clashed with the Yata Mirror. The shield effectively reflecting the beam into the air, and out into outer space.

Wall Eehto's sensors went wild at the level of energy it was picking up. "Target's aura burst forth in an explosion of power. Target's attack potency and defensive ability increased by 80%." Wall Eehto was met with the gigantic spectral samurai winged figure of Commander Itachi's Perfect Susano'o.

"Let's see you counter this." Commander Itachi and Laxus were in the forehead jewel of his Perfect Susano'o, the colossal spectral giant raised its giant blade and swung it down at intense blinding speed at Wall Eehto.

"Etherion!" Out from a cannon, Wall launched a fully charged Etherion blast that clashed with the blade of the Perfect Susano'o. The blast pushing into the blade, and the blade attempting to push and cut through the blast. It was a power struggle that generated violent shockwaves and tremors. The whole sky dyed in purple mixed with the blue aura of the etherion blast, and the red intense fiery aura of the Susano'o.

"Weakness detected, counter measures in procedure." Wall Eehto finished his analysis on Commander Itachi, and out from his back flew four disc like shaped objects. The discs soared into the sky, and hid themselves well within the clouds. The discs together formed this barrier around the battlefield, and then like a vacuum they began to suck in the air itself.

"What the hell did he just do?" Laxus questioned, due to the blast they didn't get a good view of what Wall Eehto did, but they did quickly notice the barrier around the battlefield.

"Nothing good." Commander Itachi let out a war cry, as his Perfect Susano'o cut the etherion blast in half. The implosion of the negated etherion blast created shockwaves that even pushed the Perfect Susano'o back a few steps.

"Estimated time for target elimination, 90 seconds." More compartments opened up in Wall Eehto's body, as more booster ignitions stuck out from his legs and back. "Mach 10 Launch!" Wall took a giant leap from the ground, expanding the crater even further. Appearing right at the jewel at the forehead of the Perfect Susano'o, Wall took a swing at it with a spin kick. Commander Itachi and Laxus both gasped in shock seeing Wall Eehto's kick shaving off a part of the Perfect Susano'o armor. "Gravity Core activated, Gravity Punch!" Throwing a haymaker, added with the intense force of gravity Wall Eehto knocked the Perfect Susano'o face first into the dirt. "Railgun Active! Pierce the target!" Wall Eehto fired off a devastating payload of electricity that penetrated through the back of the Perfect Susano'o.

Wall's senses then however picked up an anomaly. The electricity of his railgun was all sucked into a singular point. Wall Eehto stared down seeing Laxus devouring the electricity. Laxus soared out from the Susano'o, and slugged Wall Eehto across the face with a lightning-fast right hook that launched Wall Eehto into the ground.

Wall Eehto fired off multiple magic bullets as Laxus moved in for a second strike. Laxus however, was too fast as he dodged and weaved every single magic bullet, getting up into Wall Eehto's face Laxus slammed his elbow into Wall's nose. "Lightning Dragon: Elbow Bolt!" Laxus wasn't finished, gathering his fist together he raised his arms up and sledgehammered his fists into Wall Eehto's back making the machias fall face first into the dirt. "Lightning Dragon's Jaw!" The roaring thunder tore up the ground beneath Wall and Laxus.

"Worthless." Wall Eehto threw an upper cut into Laxus' chest, the groaning sound of Laxus' flesh and bones echoing in a crushing blow. Laxus vomited out a puddle of blood, as he was heaved into the air and body slammed into the ground. "Target Laxus is down for the count. Proceeding to eliminating target." Wall Eehto held his hand out aimed at Laxus' face, as he stepped on the Dragon Slayer's chest to pin him down. Within Wall Eehto's hand, he was charging up a blast attack of Etherion.

"Ugh!" Laxus grunted unable to even push Wall off, the pressure on his lungs prevented Laxus from unleashing a breath attack. "Raging Bolt!" Laxus twitched his finger, to which a bolt of thunder rained down from the sky and clashed into Wall Eehto. But, the machias didn't even flinch.

"I already told you. Your lightning has no effect on me. Even the strongest source of voltage and electricity recorded in all of Earthland has no effect on me." Wall Eehto's original personality seemed to be resurfacing now that victory was within sight, as he taunted Laxus.

"Just you watch… I will make my lightning surpass its limits." Laxus grabbed onto Wall Eehto's foot that kept him pinned down. With all his strength Laxus managed to lift it off from his chest, barely.

"Heh, by all means continue this futile struggle. It makes it all the more fun for when I obliterate you." Wall taunted although then a giant spectral red sword slashed at him. Wall grunted as his exoskeleton cracked from having this giant sword slash into him. Wall Eehto was launched off Laxus and into the sky above.

Commander Itachi in his Perfect Susano'o followed, wielding the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Blade. Wall Eehto had a gaping wound on his side, sparks flickering from his damaged circuits. "Recovery procedure initiated. Rebuilding damage to the exoskeleton. As long as my core remains unharmed, you cannot kill me. Damage report, damage dealt to Wall Eehto unite at 67%." Wall Eehto switched between his standard voice, and his robotic voice.

"Fire Style: Inferno Grand Fireball!" Itachi spewed out volley of massive fireballs through the mouth of his Perfect Susano'o, the volley of fireballs was also added with the black flames of the Amaterasu.

"Air Cutting Vibration." Wall Eehto's right arm began vibrating at an intense frequency, slashing his arm in the air he created air blades that slashed through the fire balls. Commander Itachi had his Perfect Susano'o lift up the Yata Mirror, deflecting the invisible sword of Wall Eehto. Then the Perfect Susano'o thrusted forth the Totsuka Blade in an aim to pierce Wall Eehto and seal him. "Air Shield!" Wall Eehto's left arm vibrated at a different form of frequency than his right, generating a barrier of sorts that deflected the Totsuka Blade just a bit to the side, enough for Wall Eehto to avoid the pierce of the blade. "Mach 10 Demolition Charge!" Like a rocket Wall Eehto soared into the head of the Perfect Susano'o effectively headbutting it and starring right into the eyes of Commander Itachi on the other side of the forehead jewel. "Air Vibration Slash!" With a swing of his right arm, Wall Eehto slashed through the Perfect Susano'o, and then threw a heavy punch to the damaged area, effectively piercing through.

Commander Itachi caught Wall Eehto's fist with his mechanical fist. Commander Itachi found himself out of breath, his vision grew a bit blurry and the strength in his body began to fade. He was tired, exhausted. But why? His stamina might not be the best for long lasting battles, but this fight hadn't even lasted 10 minutes and he felt like he had been fighting for hours.

Wall Eehto seeing the heaving chest of Commander Itachi grinned from ear to ear. "10 seconds remain until target's eliminated."

"Ugh!" Commander Itachi clutched his chest, feeling his lungs were on fire. The Perfect Susano'o lost its wings and armor, then it faded completely. "What's happening to me?" Wall took this opportunity to punch Commander Itachi across the face sending him flying crashing down into the ground, forming a second crater.

"Kahaha! It's over, your time is up!" Wall Eehto landed before Commander Itachi and kicked him in the chest, lifting him up into the air a bit, before knocking him back down with a haymaker. Commander Itachi coughed up blood from the rough landing, his ribs broken.

What was going on here? Commander Itachi felt as if his lungs were on fire, he was tired. And looking around, he noticed he wasn't the only one. Laxus was coughing and gasping for air. And the Thunder Legion, Elfman and his wife Edolas Mirajane were in the same situation, while Blitzkrieg were beating them down to their knees. Commander Itachi then seemed to have realized it, as he gazed at the surrounding barrier.

"Oh? Did your meatbag brain finally figure out my scheme?" Wall Eehto cackled as he stomped onto Commander Itachi's body. "That's right, back when your Susano'o clashed with my Etherion blast. In the confusion, I sent up into the air my oxygen absorbing discs. They have the ability to create an airtight barrier across a wide ranged area, while at the same time sucking in all of the surrounding oxygen, not to mention they are included with a special cloaking mechanism making them impossible to be detected by sensory types. They make the air lighter, and thus making it harder for you meatbags to breathe!"

Commander Itachi curses himself for not taking action sooner, he was instead so focused on eliminating Wall as fast as possible. Not to mention the air attacks Wall used earlier, it was just Wall absorbing the surrounding air himself to use for his attacks thus draining the amount of oxygen faster.

"My weakness scanners can see it, you have great amount of this chakra, a decent amount in reserves. And although your body is built strong with good muscles. Your greatest weakness, is your stamina. By lowering the amount of oxygen around us, making the air lighter, I can tire you out faster. While as a machias I am not even affected by it. That is why I am the ultimate lifeform!" Wall continued to taunt Commander Itachi, although then a spear of lightning exploded into his back launching Wall Eehto forward. "What's this? You can still fight?" Wall questioned seeing Laxus still standing, despite being short of breath.

"Come on you piece of scrap metal." Laxus panted to which Wall Eehto cackled. Wall Eehto closed the distance between them in an instant, and punched Laxus across the face. Laxus however stood his ground, and headbutted Wall Eehto, making Wall lose his balance. "Lightning Dragon: Breakdown Fist!" Sending a massive surge of lightning blasting into Wall Eehto's face.

"Stubborn bastard." Wall cackled grabbing onto Laxus' wrist keeping him in place, Wall punched Laxus in the face. Laxus however, responded with a lightning coated punch straight back at Wall's face. Laxus also grabbed onto Wall Eehto's wrist as they glared at each other. "Man, you are a riot!" Wall Eehto cackled as he and Laxus threw a series of punches into each other's faces. Sparks of electricity, and drops of blood from Laxus dripped onto the ground, and splattered around them.

"I will never give up! I will not let any of my comrades die!" Laxus roared as he continued to punch Wall Eehto in the face. Laxus' determination seemed to spark up something within Commander Itachi.

'The will to never give up… such spirit… spirit that I lacked…' Everything burns, his lungs felt like they were on fire. He was short out of breath. The pained cries of all those around him getting beaten down by Wall Eehto and Blitzkrieg. Commander Itachi forces himself up from the ground, resting for a moment on one knee. He had been outplayed by Wall Eehto, with the lack of oxygen Commander Itachi was close to blacking out completely. His vision, despite having the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, was starting to get blurry.

For a brief moment Commander Itachi saw the burning forest caught ablaze with his Amaterasu, change into Konoha. His birth village, on fire with his Amaterasu flames. The body of the Kyuubi laying in the center of the village, and the headless bodies of Danzo and Hiruzen laying before his feet. 'I failed… my whole life has been that of a failure… not once. Not once did I manage to do something right…' Commander Itachi tried to calm his breathing, conserving as much oxygen as possible.

'My clan, Shisui, Izumi, father, mother, Sasuke… the Uchiha name, I tossed it all aside. Driven to madness by Sasuke's death… I turned into a tornado of vengeance, destroying anything in its path. I believed my path was set in stone, that no matter what I had done differently nothing would have changed. I traveled to other worlds, and continued a life of tyranny. But then, I realized my flaws… I saw a future, a bleak future that would at least lead to the light. The life my counterpart lived, I would have given anything, for that to have been the path I lived in my life. When I saw his life, all I could think it was too late for me… I wished for death, I yearned for it.'

Digging his fingers through the dirt, Commander Itachi mustered the strength to stand. 'But then, he who lived a life I desired, my counterpart, even though he didn't live a good life I at least considered it miles better than my own. He told me, it wasn't too late, to create a bright life for myself like he had done with his Fairy Tail guild. So now, now that I have grabbed ahold of that bright future… I don't want to let it go. My wife, I will save her…' Commander Itachi looked to Edolas Mirajane who was trying to fight off Blitzkrieg in her weakened state but to no avail. They were all tiering fast due to the low oxygen in the air, whereas Wall and Blitzkrieg didn't. 'I will live, I will make sure my wife lives. And I will protect my own children back home in Edolas.'

A bright flame burned around Commander Itachi. He was pushing himself past his limits. Even though his lungs felt like they were on fire, even though blood dripped down from his lips, and even though his tired eyes cried tears of blood. He opened a locket he had on a medallion, and saw a picture of two cute young kids. His precious son and daughter. "Don't you worry… daddy told you both… he and mommy would be back before you know it. Nothing will stop me from keeping that promise, not to you, little ones." The flames around Commander Itachi exploded, taking the shape of a roaring Susano'o.

Wall Eehto and Blitzkrieg both gasped in shock at this burst of power from Commander Itachi. His glowing Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan eyes glaring at them, and with all the blood dripping from between his gritting teeth, and tears of blood running down from his bloodshot eyes.

"It's futile!" Wall Eehto cackled, if Commander Itachi continued to push himself like this, he would without a doubt pass out and die from the lack of oxygen.

"Yasaka Magatama…" Commander Itachi's Susano'o was losing its armor, but in its four hands it held rotating yasaka beads. Taking in a deep breath Commander Itachi closed his eyes, his Susano'o mimicked his movements and crossed its four arms. It was like his shuriken training back in the day with young Sasuke, Itachi always hit the target dead center even from his blind spot.

Commander Itachi's eyes shot open, as his Susano'o chucks the yasaka magatama beads into the air, the spinning beads going far beyond into the clouds disappearing from sight. "Heh fool, trying to destroy my discs won't work. They have concealment magic imbued into them, ain't no way your meatbag eyes can-" Wall Eehto was stopped mid speech, as four violent explosions rocked the heavens beyond the clouds.

The air dome around them all vanished, and Elfman took in a deep long gasp of air, steadying his breathing along with Laxus, the Thunder Legion and Edolas Mirajane. "I-I can breathe normally again…" Laxus mumbled, as the oxygen levels around them returned to normal.

Vaporized dust of the discs rained down before Wall Eehto who looked absolute flabbergasted. "Impossible… they were concealed, there is no way you could have sensed them!" Wall Eehto looked at Commander Itachi with widened eyes of shock.

"The clouds hid them quite well… and your concealment magic would have been difficult for sensory types to detect their exact location." Commander Itachi smirked as his Susano'o faded, he was beyond exhausted. "But my eyes… sees your magic power as colors. No matter how hard you try, you can't hide them from me. My eyes see through every single move you do before you even do them."

"D-Damn you!" Wall Eehto enraged ignited his boosters and charged at Commander Itachi, although in a split second he was shoulder charged by Laxus.

"I'm your opponent!" Laxus coated his fist in lightning and slammed it in an uppercut to Wall Eehto's chest, hoisting him into the air.

Commander Itachi panted, and created a Shadow Clone. "Go, help Mirajane…" He instructed in between breaths as his Shadow Clone jumped at Blitzkrieg. The second in command of Wall Eehto couldn't even react as the spectral fist of a Susano'o smacked into him.

"Now…" Commander Itachi flashed a hand seal, about to use a fire style jutsu to aid Laxus. But halting him from releasing his fireball, was the former Commander's own mechanical hand. As if it had gained a will of its own, it grabbed onto Commander Itachi's throat, strangling him. 'What is this?!' Commander Itachi groaned and undid the hand seal to try and pry free from the iron grip of his mechanical arm.

Wall Eehto snickered as he saw Commander Itachi getting choked to death by his own cybernetic arm. 'It's quite simple, as a superior machias lifeform, I can take control over any technological equipment. With your own appendage under my influence, you will choke yourself to death. And then I will be rid of you and your troublesome eyes.' Wall Eehto, then jabbed his fist into Laxus' chest making him heave up blood. 'This one is also quite weakened. Victory is soon within reach. Estimated time to terminate remaining targets, 90 seconds.'

"Ugh… Grr!" Commander Itachi grunted, there was no use in trying to pry the grip loose. So, he resorted to other methods. A surge of electricity ran across his entire body and straight into the cybernetic arm. The fried circuits caused smoke to erupt from the arm. "Hngh!" With a mighty heave, Commander Itachi ripped his own cybernetic arm clean off. He visibly cringed in pain, as the nerves that were attached to his cybernetic limb felt like they were burning.

The arm however, did not release its grip on Commander Itachi's throat. Lightning continued to flicker from Commander Itachi's hand, as he squeezed hard crushing the wrist of his cybernetic arm. The fingers of the cybernetic arm then opened up, and Commander Itachi tossed the destroyed arm aside. Commander Itachi laid on the ground panting, trying to regain his breath from his mechanical arm suddenly coming to life trying to choke the life out of him. The former Edolas commander looked upon the destroyed cybernetic arm, sparks flying out from the crushed circuits. And a shining green gem visible on the palm of the hand. Commander Itachi narrowed his eyes, seeing the green gem, his gaze then falling onto Laxus who tried to overpower Wall Eehto. And the former commander's gaze softened a bit.

Flashback: 10 years ago, in Edolas

Within the royal palace, a trembling squadron of knights pointed their spears and swords towards one man. The notorious Erza Knightwalker, Pantherlily, Sugarboy and Hughes were all on edge, sweating as they stared this man down. King Faust looked with a malicious smirk, as he gazed upon this bold man.

"To think, someone like you would just drop out of the heavens. You have even my bravest knights trembling like small children." Faust commended this man, who tilted his head a bit to the side with a wicked smile on his face.

"These are your bravest soldiers? My, how this kingdom hasn't fallen yet is beyond me." War world Itachi snorted as he mocked the forces of the Edolas Royal army.

"You dare?!" Erza Knightwalker hissed at him, wielding her spear as she was about to rush at this Uchiha consumed by hatred. Halting her from making such a fatal mistake, was the giant Exceed Pantherlily.

"I will skip the pleasantries and get right to the point. What do you want, in exchange for not killing us all?" King Faust knew very well, that if war world Itachi wanted everyone in this room would be dead.

"Good question, I am tired of my own homeland you see. So, I was wondering, what kind of challenging beings live in this world? Does there exist any who can provide me with a decent challenge?"

"There might be." King Faust nodded to Pantherlily, but War world Itachi did not look impressed. "Pantherlily here is a creature known as an Exceed. In Edolas they are sort of… like divine creatures. Their Queen, is said to have the powers of a God. Being able to kill people from the heavens without even needing to descend. She has been responsible for the death of many that have angered the Exceeds." King Faust smiled as he saw a look of intrigue on the Uchiha's face. "Not to mention, we have multiple rival nations seeking to take our land and magic power. If you join me, as the supreme commander of my army. I shall provide you with all the carnage till your hearts content. You may take an entire squadron of my troops for yourself."

"Heh," War world Itachi chuckled, he was amused at this weak King's boldness. "I will tell you what, you got a deal." As soon as Itachi declared that, the King looked visibly pleased. Yet the old fool wasn't aware, that once Itachi's hatred had eliminated these other nations, the Exceeds and their Queen, that War world Itachi would turn his blade onto the Royal Edolas army. With Obito's eye, he could jump from dimension to dimension, in seek of a worthy challenge that can either take on all his hatred, or at least kill him.

Having changed out from his rugged clothes, the now Commander of the Edolas Royal army was dressed in knightly armor, with a cape carrying the Edolas emblem. And so kindly provided by the scientists of the kingdom, a mechanical arm to replace the one he lost in the battle against the Akatsuki.

"Commander Itachi Uchiha, these are your new men." King Faust presented an entire squadron of knights, dressed in shining black armor. The echoes of their collective stomping armored boots rang across the room, as they all saluted their new commander.

"Sir!" Their booming collective voices echoed. Commander Itachi looked at his new men with his sharingan, seeing their commander's odd looking frightening eyes they all flinched.

"They will do I suppose." Commander Itachi didn't look all that impressed, and returned his attention to King Faust. "So, what is my first mission?"

"Glad you asked." King Faust presented a strange symbol that resembled that of a fairy of sorts with a sharp tail. "Our nation used to have these things called guilds. Organizations filled with wizards that served our nations people. However, recently I banned these guilds due to our magic power shortage. Our knights are more than enough to serve the people after all, so why waste extra resources on some bums? Anyway, several guilds refused to back down. So, dear Knightwalker exterminated them for me. Most of them that is, but this one guild called Fairy Tail keeps escaping her."

"Fairy Tail?" Commander Itachi raised a brow.

"Yes, we've given them several warnings to surrender to the royal army, but they have refused each warning. Their master is a tough one, even Knightwalker cannot defeat him. He is the source of their guild's strength. Once he falls, their spirits would be crushed. I want you to capture him, and bring him before me. For his crimes, he will be given a public execution as a message to his comrades."

Commander Itachi shrugged, seemed like a simple enough mission. "Stronger than Knightwalker, eh? Well, maybe this will be worth my time. Consider it done, your highness." King Faust smiled with malicious glee as he watched his new supreme Commander depart with his new squadron of knights.

Later, deep within a forest on one of the floating islands. Members of Edolas Fairy Tail laid scattered around their guildhall, beaten down into submission. "Dammit, who the hell is this guy?! I have never seen magic like this before!" Edolas Jet groaned, blood pouring from a cut going over his eye.

"Bastard, to think the King would have someone this terrifying in his army." Edolas Droy's arm looked like they had been twisted in different angles, clearly broken.

Lucy Ashley and Edolas Levy were both exhausted, their bodies covered in bruises and their clothes stained in blood. "Fucking prick!" Lucy Ashley snarled and swung her whip, but the cybernetic hand of their assailant caught it and hoisted Lucy Ashley into the air before body slamming her to the ground.

"Weak, truly you lot are pathetic." Commander Itachi along with his battalion of Royal Edolas Knights, cackled as they saw the last straws of rebellion from magic guilds in the form of Edolas Fairy Tail, groveling and broken before them.

"I will show you! You emo looking bastard!" Edolas Levy rushed at Commander Itachi, only to be swiftly kneed in the stomach, getting the air knocked out of her.

"Levy!" Lucy Ashley cried out as Commander Itachi grabbed onto Edolas Levy's throat, lifting her up into the air as he began choking her.

"You are a feisty one, aren't you?" Commander Itachi chuckled. Edolas Levy in a last-ditch effort threw a punch, only for the commander to catch her fist and bend her arm sideways till he heard her bone crack. Edolas Levy whimpered in pain. "Don't worry dear, the pain will cease soon enough." Commander Itachi reeled his dominant arm back, his hand crackling with lightning, the commander aimed to pierce a hole through Edolas Levy's chest.

But suddenly, the skies darkened and a bolt of green lightning struck the commander. Commander Itachi reeled backwards a few steps, the lightning numbing his senses for a few seconds. A cloaked figure jumped in, and grabbed onto Edolas Levy placing her down next to Lucy Ashley who looked in awe. "Master!" Lucy Ashley smiled seeing their guild master having returned.

"Master, eh?" Commander Itachi smirked, looking at this cloaked figure. His hair was blond and spiky, his eyes emerald green and illuminated by an emerald green gem attached to a staff he wielded in his big strong gruff looking hand. Edolas Laxus, the master of Edolas Fairy Tail, stood tall. Like his Earthland counterpart, Edolas Laxus had a very muscular body and wore his signature jacket as a cape. However, unlike his Earthland counterpart, Edolas Laxus didn't have the signature lightning bolt shaped scar going over his eye. And his body was decorated in tribal tattoos. "Finally, the main goal of my mission arrives."

Edolas Laxus tightened the grip on his staff, ethernano sucking itself into the green emerald gem at the head of the staff. "Lucy, take everyone and leave at once." Edolas Laxus sounded humble in his tone of voice, as lightning began crackling around his staff. "It is me they want. You make sure everyone gets to safety. I will stay behind and face this man."

"What?! We can't just leave you to face them yourself!" Lucy Ashley refused to follow her master's command. They wouldn't abandon one of their own.

"Yeah, master! We ain't leaving your side! We'll kill this punk together!" Edolas Jet and Droy stood up, willing to stand together with their master even if it meant death.

"This is not up for debate. All you children will leave at once." Edolas Laxus stepped closer to Commander Itachi, who smirked devilishly even as Edolas Laxus towered over him in height. "As your master, it is my duty to protect you all. I will fight this monster." Edolas Laxus glared down at Commander Itachi.

"Monster? I'm just a man doing his job, the time for guilds is over. King Faust has decided that all guilds are to be disbanded, and join the royal army. Any guild that refuses to comply with this order, are to be destroyed." Commander Itachi's sharingan glared back at Edolas Laxus. "We've given you several warnings and chances, not my fault you ignored them all time and time again."

Edolas Laxus tapped his staff to the ground, creating a dome of electricity around himself, the commander and the royal army. "If you were merely doing your job, you would have had my understanding and respect. But your bloodlust suggests otherwise, you are enjoying this. Torture, senseless violence and murder. This is all just a game to you. The lives of me and my children mean nothing to you, the lives of King Faust and your own men mean nothing to you. Admit it, you just want to destroy everything with your hatred." Commander Itachi twitched, he felt annoyed, irritated. Why? Why the hell was this man, his enemy, looking at him with pity? Edolas Laxus' gaze was filled with pity for this the twisted commander, like he could see all the horror he had been through in his life.

Commander Itachi's smirk widened, as in an instant all his men and knights stabbed themselves with their own weapons. Edolas Laxus widened his eyes along with his own guild members, all whilst Commander Itachi chuckled and dragged his hand through his black hair. "Now you've done it, on orders from King Faust I was supposed to bring you in for a live public execution to set an example. But I can't have you, or any of these bozo's blab to King Faust about what you just said. It would spoil the fun, for when I finally betray him and see the shocked look on his ugly wrinkly face."

'He had his own men placed under an illusion… He must have implanted it in them should they ever turn on him.' Edolas Laxus deduced from the sudden suicides of Commander Itachi's battalion. 'This one, he is quite clever, powerful… but most of all. I have never sensed such killing intent from a singular human being, not even from King Faust, nothing in all my years can begin to compare to this sensation of killing intent. This man is truly twisted and ruled by hatred.' Edolas Laxus shed a tear, which caused Commander Itachi to raise a brow in confusion. "You poor deluded lost soul." He was shedding tears for the commander, which only infuriated the Uchiha even further as it only reminded him of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Master…" Edolas Natsu whimpered, hiding in the background with Edolas Gray and Elfman.

"Lucy, from this day, you are in charge of the guild. Protect everyone." Edolas Laxus tapped his staff three times to the ground. The vines of the plant looking guildhall suddenly came to life, the vines grabbed onto the shocked looking Edolas Fairy Tail members and dragged them inside.

"Master!" Edolas Lucy cried out, as suddenly they along with their guildhall vanished underground.

"Ho, transportation magic, eh?" Commander Itachi looked with intrigue.

"Your name, is Itachi Uchiha, right?" Edolas Laxus asked as he got into a battle stance, and smiled at the Edolas commander. "I am Laxus Drake, come and I shall take on all of your hatred!"

At this Commander Itachi frowned, his smirk fading as memories of his burning village, his dead little brother, mother and father echoed through his memories. "What do you know of hatred?" Commander Itachi snarled, he was carrying on the hatred of the entire Uchiha clan, nothing could stop him.

Laxus Drake swung his staff up into the air, gathering green colored electricity that shot forward as a green bolt of lightning at Commander Itachi. Commander Itachi surrounded his body with the Susano'o ribcage that negated the lightning bolt, the dark red spectral ribcage growing into the upper body of a skeleton. Laxus Drake didn't falter, his body surrounded with green lightning as he began moving at super speed. Afterimages of himself appearing in his trail, as he ran in circles around Commander Itachi and his Susano'o.

Lightning flickered around them as Laxus Drake's speed increased, eventually a massive bolt of lightning rained down onto them. The roaring thunder clearing away the surrounding trees of the forest. Laxus Drake was trembling shaking, as he stood in place. His staff cloaked with lightning in the shape of a spear as he stood over Commander Itachi, aiming to stab him. The Commander looked relaxed, even as the spear of lightning was mere inches away from him. The dust cleared, and Laxus Drake had been stabbed by the Susano'o.

It was the expected result, none in Edolas could even begin to compare to Commander Itachi. Laxus Drake looked with a saddened smile. "I see…" The lightning around his staff was snuffed out as he dropped it to the floor. Commander Itachi's Susano'o vanished as well, and as did the blade stabbing through Laxus Drake as well, a pool of blood gushed out from the wound. As Commander Itachi cracked a smirk, about to throw an insult to the Edolas Fairy Tail's master's face. Laxus Drake's arm suddenly embraced him. "… It seems I was unworthy of taking on all of your hatred. I am sorry."

Commander Itachi widened his eyes, looking perplexed at what he just heard from the dying Laxus Drake's mouth. He had expected to be cussed out, hear some spiteful words of a sore loser, but instead Laxus Drake had apologized to him. "I hope… that one day… someone can liberate you from all this hatred. I can tell… deep down at heart… you are a gentle soul. You just have forgotten as you fell into despair. I always tell my guild members this, but remember… no matter how dark it seems, there is always light at the end of the tunnel."

Commander Itachi stood motionless, even as Laxus Drake collapsed before his feet, falling over dead. Rain began pouring down, and Commander Itachi remained motionless as he stared up at the weeping sky. His face was drenched from the rain, one couldn't tell if it was just the rain, or if he was crying as well. "What utter nonsense…" At the time, Commander Itachi didn't believe in Laxus Drake's words. How could he? After all the suffering he had witnessed in his life. Commander Itachi picked up the staff of Laxus Drake, starring into the green emerald colored gem.

Claiming it as his trophy, Commander Itachi ripped the gem out from the staff. And made way back for the capital, leaving behind the bodies of Laxus Drake, and his own Edolas Royal soldiers. And thus, Edolas Fairy Tail's master had met his end. And a mere two years later, wizards from Earthland along with their Itachi would arrive, and liberate Edolas from Faust's tyrannic rule. And his own counterpart, would rescue Commander Itachi from his path of hatred.

Flashback end

Commander Itachi reached out to his broken cybernetic arm, and grabbed onto the green emerald gem. "Well, looks like I should return you to your owner… well sort of." As Commander Itachi looked at the gem, he saw a reflection of the smiling Laxus Drake. "I should add more power to you first, luckily this is the perfect situation." Rain began pouring down, the heat rising from the surrounding Amaterasu flames that burnt away at Wall's machia army, generated dark clouds in the sky. A huge amount of thunder and lightning rumbling in the skies above.

Raising his arm, Commander Itachi generated green electricity from the gem to his hand. The skies roared with thunder that sounded like a dragon, and Wall and Laxus both paused as they saw the giant thunder dragon howling in the clouds above. "Whatz this?!" Blitzkrieg trembled in fear, unlike his master he hadn't overcome the weakness of lightning.

"Begone, with the Thunderclap. Kirin!" Commander Itachi threw his arm down, guiding the lightning strike onto Wall Eehto and Laxus, whilst also throwing the green gem towards Laxus. The gem itself working as a lightning rod to guide the thunder strike.

In a blinding flash of light, a giant destructive wave of thunder struck the ground in loud crashing "DOOM!". The forest itself was torn apart, and the ground cracked open as the destructive bolt destroyed the surrounding terrain.

Commander Itachi looked stoic, his clone having shielded Edolas Mirajane along with Elfman and the Thunder Legion with his Susano'o. Blitzkrieg managed to shield himself from damage by using Wall's burning machias army as a shield.

The dust cleared around the center, as Commander Itachi looked on with a stoic expression. Lying face first into the dirt was Wall Eehto, his body crackling with electricity, causing him to twitch a bit. Wall Eehto then began cackling with a maniacal laughter, standing up straight with the electricity crackling around him getting absorbed. "Too bad meatbag, that amount of voltage was quite impressive though." Wall dusted himself off, glaring at Commander Itachi with a cocky grin as the Kirin had no effect. Wall Eehto's body was designed to withstand all known amount of voltage after all, that included even thunderstorms.

"Hah! Az expected of master Wall Eehto! He iz fast enough to even avoid an attack faster than a second!" Blitzkrieg cackled at how easily Wall Eehto was able to dodge the speedy destructive attack known as Kirin.

Wall with the enhanced speed of his assault mode rushed at Commander Itachi, slamming his robotic fist deeply into the former Edolas Commander's chest. Commander Itachi gave a bloodied smirk as he glared up at Wall Eehto. "And who said it was meant for you? For a machine you sure don't process things that fast."

Wall widened his eyes as he looked where the thunder blast had struck. Stepping out from a smoldering crater, with the remains of electricity and lightning getting devoured. Laxus was covered in bloodied bruises, his muscles were aching and thumping. The lightning all went down his throat, fueling his entire body with new energy. "Thanks for that meal…" Laxus in his hand held the core gem of Commander Itachi's robotic arm that was destroyed earlier. The gem that belonged to his Edolas counterpart, held a special lightning element to it, and Laxus bit into it. Green voltage of electricity going down Laxus's throat, lighting up his insides for a brief moment. "Now… bastard!" Laxus shattered the remains of the gem core in his hand, as yellow dragon scales grew around his forearms.

Wall's senses went highwire as they picked up this new energy source. "Anomaly detected in subject Laxus Dreyar. Unnatural rising amount of voltage in target's body." Wall spoke in his analytic robotic voice.

Yellow dragon scales grew around Laxus's face, and torso. Laxus's eyes turn bright lime green, glowing and flickering with a red glow. His blond hair rising up, looking more wildly and not groomed. His yellow flickering lightning, turning black and bright red, with the amount increasing and cloaking Laxus' entire body. Laxus' hair extends, growing more down his neck into a thick looking mane around his neck and chops. What appears as dragon horns grow out from the top of Laxus's head.

"That's…" Evergreen, Freed, Bickslow and Elfman all look in awe at Laxus' new form.

"Dragon… Force? But it feels like something more…" Freed gulped down a nervous lump in his throat, this felt completely different from Natsu and Gajeel's Dragon Force.

Laxus clenched his fist, holding his dominant arm out, the amount of electricity crackling around him increasing to an explosive amount. "Nice, I think I will call this… Red Lightning King Dragon Mode." Laxus dubbed his new form with a light smirk on his face.

Wall's robotic legs are trembling, and he finds himself backing away in shock. His sensors all going highwire, unable to register the level of electricity emerging from Laxus. "I-Impossible! There is no recorded source of lightning, a thunder storm or anything with this high amount of voltage in all of Earthland! How is this possible?!"

Faster than the speed of light Laxus closed the gap between himself and Wall Eehto, his fist thrown back crackling with red lightning. "I told you how. I would just make my lightning surpass its limits!" Laxus soared past Wall Eehto, his fist clashing into Wall's cybernetic body ripping a massive gaping hole in Wall's torso.

"U-Unable to compute… Cannot compute… Data not found." Wall gave a few mumbles in his robotic voice, his body giving off this bright glow. In the blink of an eye the remains of Wall Eehto exploded before their eyes. A third member of the Spriggan Twelve had fallen.

Blitzkrieg looks in disbelief, the jaw of all three faces hung open. "Ah…ah…" The booster ignitions on Blitzkrieg's back lights up as he flees in fright. "Y-Your Majesty! Save me!" Blitzkrieg cries out in fear, seeing his master Wall Eehto die just like that was unbelievable to Blitzkrieg.

"Heh, looks like a machine can experience fear." Laxus snorted with a smirk.

Blitzkrieg's terrified cries are silenced as the foot of Edolas Mirajane stomps into his face, the angered older Edolas Strauss sibling dropkicking the second in command of Wall Eehto. Blitzkrieg soars down like a meteorite, towards an awaiting Elfman. "Beast Soul: Jet Black Sword Beast!" Elfman's arm transformed into a black beastly clawed arm, his whole body gaining what appeared as a super hard durable black armor. His face mask looking like a demonic horned beast with glowing purple eyes, and with the same purple glow emitting from between its jaws.

With the speed turbulence added by Edolas Mirajane's dropkick, and the sharp fist of Elfman's new form, the manly beast punched a hole straight through Blitzkrieg's chest. The massive hulking robot gaping from all three faces, as Elfman held some sort of data chip in his clawed hand. "M-Mein core!" All three of Blitzkrieg's faces spoke with a look of fright.

Elfman yanked his arm out from Blitzkrieg's body, and glared down at the crawling hunk of junk, that desperately tried to reach out for his data core. Edolas Mirajane, came crashlanding onto Blitzkrieg's back, pushing his faces into the dirt. Her chest heaving up and down, as she breathed heavily and violently. "Here." Elfman stoically tossed the core to his sister's Edolas counterpart. "You should be the one."

Edolas Mirajane held onto the data chip, ignoring the pleading cries of Blitzkrieg. "Nein! Nein! Mein core! Please!"

Edolas Mirajane looked into Elfman's eyes and smiled as she began shedding tears. "You are just as kind and loving as my Elfman…" Edolas Mirajane dropped the data chip before Blitzkrieg's eyes. The robot starring hungrily as he reached out for it, only for his hopes to be snuffed out as Edolas Mirajane stomped on it, shattering it into hundreds of pieces beneath her boot.

"N-Nein…" Blitzkrieg's eyes turned black, and his body turned motionless, his arm falling in a thud onto the ground.

"And you are just as scary as my big sis." Elfman smiled with a cold nervous sweat running down his forehead. In responds Edolas Mirajane just giggled, and embraced Elfman in a hug.

"Thank you, make sure to take care of your sisters, okay?" Edolas Mirajane cried as she held tightly onto Elfman.

"Yeah, you can count on it…" Elfman nodded as he returned the hug. "I swear it on my manly honor."

The red lightning around Laxus, flickered over to the body of Blitzkrieg, turning it effectively into a pile of ash. "Phew." Laxus exhaled, the red lightning dying down around him, and he reverted back to his usual appearance.

"Quite the power up." Commander Itachi sat up, feeling relieved that the battle was over. These Spriggan Twelve were tougher than he had expected.

"Yeah, sorry about your arm." Laxus felt a little guilty that he ate the core of Commander Itachi's mechanical arm.

"Nah, don't worry about it." Commander Itachi brushed it off, he could always get a new one if he wanted to. Commander Itachi lightly thought back on Edolas' version of Laxus, the former Fairy Tail Edolas Master, who he killed on his very first mission from King Faust. 'This Laxus… is stronger than I am that's for sure.' Commander Itachi thought considering Laxus' new form. 'I wonder… how strong is Earthland me now?'

As his counterpart and Laxus had finished off Wall Eehto, Itachi and his wife Mirajane stared down the reanimated Uchiha trio of Fugaku, Mikoto and Izumi. "Stay on your toes, don't even drop your guard for a moment." Itachi warned his wife, Mirajane realized the situation and gave a light nod as she raised her arms ready for combat.

Then, the eyes of the reanimated Uchiha trio flashed red as they all activated the Sharingan. Their emotionless faces flinched as they all regained consciousness judging by the visible confusion on their faces. "The caster gave us our control back…" Fugaku mumbled, as he still recalled the caster of this jutsu forcing him, his wife and his oldest son's lover to massacre an entire town.

"Dear?" Mikoto shakingly asked as she gazed upon Fugaku's back. "What's going on?"

"Lady Mikoto and Lord Fugaku?" Izumi questioned in shock, the last thing she remembered was dying in Itachi's arms.

"Izumi? Why are you here?" Mikoto asked, both women still confused at this situation.

"It's the Edo Tensei… someone has brought us back to the land of the living to fight." Fugaku informed his wife Mikoto and the young Izumi.

"Edo Tensei? But who would-" Mikoto halted for a moment, as she noticed the two people before her. Holding her tongue, she shakingly walked forward her gaze focused onto the one recognizable figure. He looked so different from when she last saw him, he looked taller, his features matured from a teenager to a proper young man. His hair and skin were pale white, and he was covered in this strange darkness and even had horns. But regardless of how much he had changed, Mikoto recognized her first born son straight away. "Itachi… is that you?"

"Itachi-kun?" Izumi flinched and looked at this unrecognizable version of her love.

"… It seems a lot of time has passed, Itachi." Fugaku crossed his arms, he was surprised at seeing his son's new form. But his Shinobi training prevented him from showing an emotional reaction. In that regard he and Itachi were identical.

"Father… mother… Izumi." Itachi uttered out as he shakingly stared into the eyes of his loved ones that he had killed with his very own hands.

"What's going on? Why do you look like that… and your eyes… those are-" Mikoto's facial expression expressed concern, and worry for her oldest child. She could hardly begin to imagine the pain he went through after they died.

"Rinnegan, huh?" Fugaku recognized the purple ripple patterned eyes of legend, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths. "Heh, should have expected it of my exceptional son." Fugaku seemed convinced that Itachi was some sort of second coming of the Sage himself.

"It's quite the complicated story." Was Itachi's simple reply to the reactions he got from his dead family about his Rinnegan eyes, and that of his new form.

"… You do not wish to tell us?" Fugaku picked up on it, Itachi didn't seem to wish to share his story. "I believe you owe us that much. What became of you and Sasuke? And where is Sasuke right now?"

"…" Itachi tightened his fist, easing only up as he felt the gentle touch of Mirajane's hands onto his. Taking in a deep sigh, Itachi didn't bother with hiding the truth anymore. "I encouraged Sasuke down a path of revenge, becoming the target of his hatred. I left the village, and Sasuke behind and joined the terrorist organization Akatsuki, an organization which threatened our village, so I spied on them from the inside. Sasuke many years later killed me in revenge, which I had hoped would redeem the Uchiha name by making him the hero who slayed his evil older brother."

"You hoped?" Fugaku asked sternly as he lowered his arms.

"Sasuke learnt of the truth from the one who helped me that night. He vowed vengeance on the Leaf village for what they put our clan through, and for what they put me through. I learnt this when I, like you, were also brought back through the Edo Tensei during the Fourth Great Ninja War. I reunited with Sasuke, and together we stopped the reanimation… I parted ways with him after telling him the full truth. And I haven't seen him since. But I heard from another reanimated Shinobi in this war, how Sasuke together with the Fourth Hokage Minato and Kushina Uzumaki's son Naruto Uzumaki saved the Ninja world." At hearing this Mikoto seemed a bit glad that Sasuke and Naruto had become friends, like she and Kushina has hoped. But at the same time, she was sad to hear of the fate of her oldest son.

"Then… how are you alive right now? You are not a reanimated Shinobi like us." Fugaku asked.

"After I parted with Sasuke, a man known as the Black Wizard Zeref. A terrifying dark entity of this world, a cursed and immortal man who sought death. Resurrected me, a soul from a different world through one of his various experiments. Turning me into a Demon, which is why I have this form you see right now. This isn't the Element of Nations, it is a world known as Earthland. I have lived in this world now for quite some time, and even joined one of these things known as a Wizarding Guild. I even became my guild's master recently, and currently we are at war with a rival nation known as the Alvarez Empire, led by this Black Wizard who resurrected me in the first place." Itachi summarized his exciting crazy tale of adventure to his reanimated parents and former lover, who all looked beyond shocked at what they were hearing.

"Then this… is not the Edo Tensei?" Fugaku asked as he looked into his own hands.

"Not quite… from my understanding it is a magic spell with similar effects as the Edo Tensei." Itachi answered his father's question, the fact they hadn't attacked him yet must be Neinhart's way of toying with his emotions. "And because you are under the effects of the enemy… I'm going to have to take you all down." Itachi didn't drop his mask for a second, he continued to remain stoic and emotionless. But Mirajane could tell from holding Itachi's hand, Itachi was trembling and most likely overcome with grief.

"I see… then do what you must. I'm sorry, Itachi… for making you go through this again." Fugaku shamefully lowered his head, he couldn't bear to look his son in the eye, without a doubt feeling like he had failed as a father.

"… Itachi, if it's not too much to ask. Could you possibly exit that form? I don't like seeing you like this." Mikoto asked, she didn't like the fact that her first born looked like some demonic monster.

"… Yeah, I need to conserve my energy for later anyway." Itachi agreed to his mother's request, his hair regaining its shade of black, and his skin regaining its color as well. The darkness getting absorbed into his body, and replaced with an open black high collared cloak with the Fairy Tail emblem stitched onto the back. Underneath the cloak Itachi wore a simple black shirt. He also had baggy pants and boots. Itachi's Rinnegan even reverted to his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"… You look so handsome, all grown up." Mikoto complimented, looking like she was about to cry at seeing how grown up her son was. Only due to the fact she was a reanimation, no tears came out.

"Umm, Itachi-kun…" Izumi fidgeted a bit, looking a bit flustered. Even though she lived her whole life through the Tsukuyomi Itachi killed her with, Izumi still appeared as a 13-year-old girl. And seeing Itachi looking all grown up and handsome had her in awe. But that wasn't what she was concerned about, she was far more concerned with Mirajane who held onto his hand, and the fact that they both wore rings. "Who is this woman?"

"Izumi…" Itachi looked a bit guilty, he still cared for Izumi, he always would, but he loved Mirajane right now. "This is my wife Mirajane Strauss, now Mirajane Uchiha. She is a member of my guild." Itachi introduced his wife to his parents and former lover.

"Umm, hello." Mirajane awkwardly bowed in respect. She had never expected to meet Itachi's ex, let alone his parents. It was beyond awkward for her.

"You have a wife?" Mikoto and Fugaku for once both looked astonished. Mikoto then gleamed with excitement. "My, such a cute little thing! Please treat my dearest Itachi well from now on. He can be a bit of a pain with his stubbornness so don't be afraid to smack him if he gives you any trouble~"

"Mother…" Itachi sweat dropped a bit, this was hardly the situation or time for this.

"Oh, I see… of course you would have a wife by now… I see, congratulations." Izumi backed up a few steps, looking with a genuine happy smile, she was happy for Itachi that he moved on. She didn't want him mopping forever after she died.

"… I'm sorry." Itachi mumbled, he felt guilty for cutting Izumi's life short. He felt guilt over all those that he had killed that night, but at the same time he had managed to accept it and move on.

"No, it's fine… really." Izumi suddenly froze as her body turned stiff, her sharingan switching from red to violet. "Heh, too bad. I had hoped she would be the jealous type, give you more grief." Izumi's face was twisted into a wicked smile, and her voice changed into that of Neinhart.

"Neinhart!" Itachi snarled in anger. "You dare not only desecrate the dead… but also my own parents and Izumi?! Can you even begin to understand the pain you have caused? Forcing the dead back to fight, forcing the living to fight their resurrected loved ones. This despicable spell, only brings up old feelings people have tried to move past."

"Heh, this is a war after all, my dear Itachi. I am merely using my resources for the benefit of my country." Neinhart chuckled cockily.

"… Don't act like you are doing this for anyone but yourself. Unlike the rest of the Twelve I have encountered I can tell. You don't care about the Empire in the slightest." To this Itachi was met with a mere chuckle from Neinhart.

"Oh my, did you find out? Indeed, you are correct, I even collaborated with our nations second enemy, Madara. Giving him intel on our squad formations, and battle plans. All in return so he would teach me more about this Edo Tensei Jutsu. It is needed if I am to become a true master of life and death." Neinhart revealed shamelessly, he held no loyalty to a flag or to a country. Neinhart only sought more power for his own benefit.

"Ho? Then why not betray the Empire here and now? Turn your reanimated army on Zeref and the rest of the Twelve? Or are you perhaps too afraid?" Itachi taunted the Spriggan, and he was met with a light grunt.

"I would if I could… but honestly as I am right now, I couldn't. Not with these discount versions of the Edo Tensei. Yes, not until I have uncovered its secrets." Neinhart chuckled, he would make those amongst the Twelve that mocked him for being the weakest bend the knee before his might. Neinhart in fact wished that both Ajeel and Bloodman were still alive so he could watch them grovel before his feet.

"You are a fool for trusting Madara, do you know that?" Itachi pointed out, from what he learned from Obito, Madara had a tendency to backstab people.

"Heh, not to worry, I have insurance." Neinhart thought, his mind drifting to another of his reanimated corpses. The ice Witch Ur was engaged in battle with Rune Knights from Ishgar, freezing them all to death in ice. The ice witch purposely being held back from more open battlefields, as insurance for Neinhart should Madara ever stab him in the back.

"And I assume these are your insurances against me?" Itachi's cold gaze fell onto his reanimated parents, and Izumi who Neinhart was still speaking through.

"Why yes, they are. I thought it would be poetic justice, to have your old family kill your new family. I mean, you have to admit it is quite ironic, right? The sins of the father fall onto the unborn child, poor thing." Neinhart taunted as Izumi's gaze fell onto Mirajane, focused on her stomach area.

"What does that mean?" Fugaku questioned, looking with a scowl of annoyance at Neinhart.

"Oh my, you haven't even told your darling parents the exciting news? For shame, Itachi, for shame." Neinhart cackled causing Itachi to grow further annoyed. "You haven't told them they are soon to be grandparents, even though I have given you such a wonderful opportunity to do so."

"Wait, what?" Mikoto looked over to Mirajane, her sharingan focusing on her daughter-in-law's stomach area. "She's pregnant…" Mikoto gasped in shock. "What are you even doing on the battlefield?! Leave right now! I don't wish for any harm to come to my unborn grandchild!" Mikoto looked to be in full panic mode right now.

"I agree. Your name was Mirajane, right? Then please leave at once." Fugaku didn't look to be panicking at all, but his stern serious voice was all one needed to understand that he was concerned.

"There is really no need to worry. Itachi cloaked my belly with this demonic darkness, making a dense like barrier to protect the child from any harm as I fight." Mirajane in demonstration picks up one of the kunai knifes left from Mikoto's throw earlier, and as the tip of the blade touches the darkness around her stomach, the kunai breaks in half.

"B-But still will it hold? My husband is quite strong, and I was a Jonin before I retired." Mikoto still was concerned, she had no idea how strong the people of this world were.

Mirajane flashed a happy smile, and in an instant unleashed her Satan Soul aura, in a flash she entered her Satan Soul form. "Thanks for the warning, but I am quite strong myself." Mikoto and Fugaku looked with wide eyes, this was the first either of them had witnessed such a powerful magic aura.

"I see… the warriors of this world are quite formidable." Fugaku uncrossed his arms, and was forced into action, sprinting towards Itachi and Mirajane. Itachi however was ready, the father and son locked in a taijutsu match. Itachi holding his forearm up to counter a spin kick from Fugaku. Itachi with ease overpowered his father, pushing his leg backwards before going in for a series of jabs to Fugaku's torso. However, since Fugaku was a reanimated warrior, he felt no pain.

Mirajane couldn't relax either, as coming falling down onto her from midair was Izumi, delivering a drop kick that was too fast for Mirajane to block. Izumi landed a perfect drop kick onto the top of Mirajane's head making her tumble and nearly trip. Mirajane retaliated, halting herself from falling to the ground she rose up and headbutted Izumi in the chin.

Izumi was very flexible, and recovered quickly from Mirajane's counter strike, rotating her body Izumi delivered a series of kicks towards Mirajane. This time Mirajane managed to shield herself with her forearms, yet the ferocious intensity and speed of Izumi's kicks made Mirajane back up a step for each kick Izumi dealt to her. Mirajane gasped, seeing as Izumi's hands were free, the young Uchiha had taken the liberty of flashing a set of hand seals.

"Fire Style: Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" Izumi unleashed a barrage volley of fireballs soaring straight into Mirajane, the small fireball volley attacks moving at a faster speed than your usual fireball. Izumi then backflipped and tossed some shuriken into the fire, coating the spinning blades in flames.

"Evil Shower!" Mirajane formed a sphere of darkness, and unleashed a series of smaller dark sphere volleys to counter Izumi's fire jutsu. Although whilst their attacks clashed, Mirajane cupped her hands together and glared right at Izumi. "Evil Explosion!" Thrusting her arms forward, Mirajane unleashed a destructive wave of magic power.

Izumi gasped at seeing this giant beam swallowing up her fire jutsu, and then clashing into her. Mirajane then gasped as she saw the shadowy figure of a woman jumping before her, with sharingan eyes glaring back at her. 'Genjutsu!' Mirajane panicked as she found herself unable to move.

Mikoto stood with her hands held into a simple hand seal, and her sharingan eyes widened focused on the frozen Mirajane. Izumi picked herself up from the aftermath of Mirajane's blast, which had claimed both her arms, although they were regenerating. "Shit!" Mikoto cursed as Izumi like a marionet rushed at Mirajane with kunai knives in hand.

Mirajane trembled, but managed to sink her fang into her bottom lip, drawing blood. Mirajane's eyes shot wide open, and she was quick to duck as Izumi slashed a kunai over her head. Mirajane then rotated her body and delivered a mighty kick to Izumi's abdomen, sending her flying into Mikoto. 'She broke through by inflicting pain on herself…' Mikoto looked astonished, but she wasn't surprised. Itachi had without a doubt shown his wife ways to break free from genjutsu. When it came to genjutsu no one in the entire Uchiha clan with the exception of Shisui matched Itachi's skills.

Mikoto widened her eyes, hearing the sound of spinning shuriken. Out from her and Izumi's blind spots several shuriken flew stabbing into their backs. The one thing Itachi was unrivaled in all of the Uchiha clan, was shuriken jutsu, not even Shisui surpassed him in that regard. Even from his own blind spots he could hit a target dead center.

Whilst fighting his father, Itachi had thrown two handfuls of shuriken behind his back which were the ones that hit Mikoto and Izumi. Fugaku from his back pulled out a short sword, and swung it at Itachi. Itachi parried with a kunai, his strength far superior to his father so he pushed him back. "You have gotten stronger…" Fugaku looked stoic, like father like son.

"… I have long since surpassed you, and several other powerful Shinobi of our world." Itachi thought of all the amazing strong Shinobi he encountered in his life time. Shisui, Minato, Nagato, Obito and many others. "But regardless, I will not take you lightly. After all, you were once considered for the position of the Fourth Hokage. In the Third Great Ninja War you were feared by enemy nations as Wicked Eye Fugaku. As your son, I know your power all too well."

"I see… Then I will respond in kind." Fugaku's Sharingan morphed into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Itachi remembered when he first saw them, when Fugaku had revealed him the details of his planned coup against the village.

'I do not know the details of father's Mangekyou abilities… but I know he was confident enough to believe he could tame the Nine Tails.' Itachi closed his eyes, power focusing into his eyes as he recalled the night of the Uchiha massacre. "I recall my greatest fear during the massacre, was fighting you. You would have been the worst possible opponent for me. But you chose not to resist, but this time… I have gotten stronger, and you are forced to fight. So, let's have this battle between Mangekyou Sharingan." Itachi reopened his eyes, his Mangekyou Sharingan staring back into his father's.

"Very well." Itachi saw chakra emit from Fugaku's right eye. He was about to use his Mangekyou ability. "Hachiman." Fugaku's gaze focused on his short sword, to which a strange liquid formed around the blade. Like molten lava, the liquid hardened into a rocky like substance, and with ease the hardened substance around Fugaku's blade cut through Itachi's kunai.

Itachi was quick to tilt his head to the side, his cheek getting cut by the tip of Fugaku's blade drawing blood. Fugaku rushed at Itachi, the substance growing around his blade enlarging its length and size. Fugaku slashed the blade downwards, and the ground cracked open and exploded into a giant dust cloud. The substances moved around the blade, stretching out into various directions hardening into rocky spears.

Itachi jumped back, his ribcage Susano'o shielding his body from getting cut. One of the spears stretching from the hardening liquid cut straight through one of the ribs of his Susano'o ribcage. 'His eye creates this strange liquid made up out of some hardening material. It is even strong enough to pierce the Susano'o.' Itachi focused his gaze onto the extending hardening liquid spears. "Amaterasu!" Black flames engulfed the hardening liquid, spreading like a wild fire.

Fugaku separated his blade from the liquid and jumped backwards as the Amaterasu engulfed the liquid. The hardened material began melting like metal, hot puddles of the material dripping onto the ground, burning through solid rock. "So, those are the black flames of Amaterasu. Impressive." Fugaku threw his dominant arm back, clenching his fist as he prepared for a punch. This time, chakra emitted from Fugaku's left eye. "Ryujin." Flames erupted out from Fugaku's elbow as he launched himself at Itachi, throwing a heavy punch with boosted speed and firepower. Fugaku's punch broke and shattered the ribcage of Itachi's Susano'o.

"Fire Style: Fireball!" Itachi unleashed a blazing ball of fire at his father, point blank range. But Fugaku's left eye continued to pour out chakra, Itachi's flames bended themselves around Fugaku. It was as if Fugaku took possession of Itachi's fire jutsu and added its power to his own. Fugaku's body was cloaked in fire, as he delivered a powerful kick to Itachi's chest.

Itachi skidded backwards, grunting a bit as a burnt footprint had burned through his clothes. "Fire style is useless against me. Ryujin gives me the power to bend fire, it also gives me an immunity to fire style attacks. Flames cannot hurt me." Fugaku informed Itachi of the details of his powers. "As for Hachiman, as you have predicted it creates this liquid, I can use it to cloak my weapons, or myself in order to enhance my attacks. With a full concentrated hardened armor around my fist, my punch packs more power than even that of Lady Tsunade. I can also fuse it with my Ryujin to increase my attack power, be careful." Fugaku warned.

'I see… so fire emits from his body similar to that of Natsu. And with immunity towards fire, all he essentially is missing is the ability to eat fire to replenish his energy, and he would be a Fire Dragon Slayer. Although I doubt father's ability gives him an immunity towards Amaterasu, seeing as he dodged it earlier instead of taking it head on… or maybe there are certain conditions he needs to follow, like a time limit. No, I am sure he would have informed me if there was such a thing.'

Fugaku pulled out a ninja scroll, with the word shuriken written on it. "Hachiman: Hardened Demon Windmill Shuriken!" Puffs of smoke emitted from the scroll, as various massive windmill shurikens hurled themselves at Itachi, all whilst getting cloaked in the hardening liquid making them more durable and deadlier. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Fugaku flashed a hand seal, and the number of molten hardened windmill shurikens doubled.

Blood dripped from Itachi's eye, as he focused a tremendous amount of chakra. "Amaterasu!" A wall of black flames formed itself before Itachi, spreading far and wide. Itachi then formed his Susano'o into its upper body state. The red fire spectral warrior giving a mighty war cry as it formed its sword and shield. Itachi had his Susano'o ready the Yata Mirror, as he predicted the shurikens soared through the Amaterasu, but caught on fire. The windmill shuriken all clashed against the shield of Itachi's Susano'o and all bounced off to the side.

Fugaku leaped over the wall of black fire, the liquid forming itself around his short sword taking the form of a giant lance. "Ryujin: Soaring Flame Bullet!" Flames bended themselves around the hardened lance, and Fugaku then soared like a flaming bullet towards Itachi.

Itachi responded by lifting his arm up, to which his Susano'o mimicked his movements and held the Yata Mirror up. The massive shield catching the lance, which unleashed a great powerful shockwave. Fugaku gasped as his hardened lance broke apart, and the force of his own attack was repelled back at him. "Yasaka Magatama!" Itachi followed up by having his Susano'o throw the spinning yasaka beads, which clashed into the falling Fugaku generating a giant violent explosion that shook the earth and the heavens above.

Itachi's eyes widened, his head turning to see his father Fugaku behind his Susano'o Fugaku's fist was cloaked in the hardening material, and focused with a great density and power. Fugaku threw his punch, which caused cracks to appear around Itachi's Susano'o like a cobweb. The back of Itachi's Susano'o shattered leaving him wide open. "Ryujin: Fire Launcher!" Fugaku thrusted his fist forward, unleashing a mighty wave of fire into Itachi.

"Huh?" Fugaku gasped as someone grabbed a hold of his ankle. Looking down Fugaku saw a hand sticking up from underneath the earth.

"Wood Style: Sacred Tree!" Rising up underneath Fugaku's feet, was a gigantic massive tree. Fugaku grunted as the vines and wood wrapped itself around him like snakes, keeping him restrained. The tree continued to grow, all the way until it pierced the clouds above.

"He can even use Wood Style?" Mikoto and Izumi both looked in awe, Itachi was able to use the jutsu of the First Hokage, a man who was regarded as the God of Shinobi.

Mikoto and Izumi both flinched, as suddenly they were trapped, snared by giant rose vines. The sharp spikes of the vines, penetrating through their reanimated bodies. Both struggled and groaned as the vines tightened their grip, ever since absorbing all the members of Tartaros, Mirajane had gained all of their curse powers. Mirajane held her dominant arm out, a strange neon colored aura focused around her fingertip, the same as the aura that emitted from the vines.

Mikoto and Izumi then suddenly turned into a puff of smoke, and in their place were wooden logs. 'Substitution?' Mirajane's eyes widened that the two reanimated Shinobi escaped Mard Geer's curse power. Mikoto rushed at Mirajane, a pair of kunai slipping into her grasps out from the sleeves of her shirt.

Mirajane hardened her gaze, thrusting her demonic claw forward, she clashed with Mikoto's kunai. The connecting blade of the kunai, and the demonic scaled claw echoing in a clang. Mirajane swung her fist in a right hook, but Mikoto with her sharingan saw it straight away and managed to jump over Mirajane's swinging fist. Mikoto swiftly dealing a kick to Mirajane's face. "Sorry!" Mikoto apologized as she was forced to continue her assault. Mirajane however, moved her demonic tail in to intercept.

As the tail was about to strike Mikoto, a series of shuriken stabbed into the tail as Izumi joined the fray. The nimble, skinny Uchiha girl moving as elegant as a dancer, her strikes were fast and deadly. Mirajane barely managed to avoid a drop kick from Izumi, who broke the ground apart underneath the weight of her chakra enhanced foot.

"I'm sorry too!" Mirajane groaned as she stretched her arms out, letting out a demonic shriek as a powerful wave of aura exploded out from her very being. The aura pushing Mikoto and Izumi back. Mirajane rushed up at Izumi, delivering a high kick that hit Izumi in the chin. The force of Mirajane's kick caused Izumi to fly a little bit over the ground, Mirajane then continued with delivering a series of kicks into the body of Izumi

'This is taijutsu!' Izumi analyzed Mirajane's movements with her sharingan, from every movement, every tensing muscle, Izumi saw it all. Mirajane then leaped over Izumi as they were high above in the sky, Mirajane was about to drop kick Izumi down to the ground, although the nimble Uchiha girl countered with her own kick. Their legs clashing midair, generating a shockwave that blew away surrounding clouds.

'She predicted my next move!' Mirajane acted fast and thrusted her arm forward. "Evil Explosion!" Unleashing a black wave of destructive energy, Mirajane blasted Izumi at near point-blank range. Mirajane froze, as she could see the image of a pair of sharingan eyes looming behind her within her mind. 'Another genjutsu?' Mirajane lowered her power till it was nearly depleted, before unleashing it all in a mighty battle cry.

Mirajane then quickly turned around and caught an incoming attack from Mikoto, grabbing onto her wrist as she was about to thrust a kunai into Mirajane's back. "Itachi has taught you well…" Mikoto smiled, which Mirajane returned.

"Well, sort of. I also learnt bit by bit when he showed me his memories. Seeing everything through his eyes really gave me a new perspective on your world, and various abilities. It also gave me quite the impression of you actually." Mirajane revealed causing Mikoto to look stunned. The two for a brief moment, whilst exchanging blows in the form of taijutsu also exchanged words.

"I see… you most think I was a horrible mother." Mikoto looked saddened as she clashed with Mirajane, who looked shocked. "I just stood by, while my husband and the rest plotted to overthrow Lord Third. Seeing the conflict and pain it caused my oldest son, yet I couldn't do anything to help him."

Mikoto flipped backwards, flashing a set of hand seals. "Fire Style: Fireball!" Mikoto spat out a giant blazing ball of fire towards Mirajane.

"Satan Soul: Sitri!" Mirajane changed from her standard Satan Soul, into her Sitri form. The blazing ball of fire charging towards her, split in half as Mirajane using the flames from her Sitri form, Mirajane bended the fire from Mikoto's fireball jutsu to her will.

"Not at all, in fact I actually admire you." Mirajane kindly smiled at her reanimated mother-in-law who looked stunned. "You did all you could, with two sons feeling turmoil, you did your best to nurture them, comfort them. You did what you could have done in an impossible position. I think you were a wonderful mother." Mirajane praised with a loving smile that deeply touched Mikoto. She could see why Itachi fell in love with this girl, she was so bright, bright enough to shine away the darkness that came with the Uchiha name. Bringing life and joy to Itachi's usual grey dull world.

"My son is quite lucky to have a girl like you. Thank you, Mirajane…" Even midst of direct hand-to-hand combat these two women continued smiling at each other.

"I'm the lucky one, who found someone as loving and kind hearted as your son." Mirajane replied, making Mikoto's smile widen. If she could cry, the Uchiha mother would.

"You really are a good girl… I know you will be a great mother to my grandchild." Mikoto praised, she felt like she could return to the afterlife and feel content.

"Actually, I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you something, mother. Can I call you mother?" Mirajane looked quite nervous, yet serious as she gazed into Mikoto's eyes.

"Of course, you can sweety." Mikoto smiled warmly, although was forced to toss a series of shuriken at Mirajane. Yet Mirajane easily deflected the incoming projectiles with her explosive aura.

"Okay, so me and Itachi haven't really gotten to discuss this yet… seeing as he just found out today." Mirajane whispered that last part to herself as she parried a kick from Mikoto. "But, if our baby happens to be a girl, I would like your blessing to name her after you."

"Huh?" Mikoto looked like a deer caught in the headlights, her eyes widened. Her lips were quivering, as it looked like she was about to cry, her heart feeling greatly touched by Mirajane's request. "Wah! Itachi! Your wife really is a great girl!" For that moment, Mikoto was able to resist Neinhart's control long enough to embrace a surprised Mirajane in a hug. "I want to stay! I want to see my beautiful granddaughter when she is born! I want to spoil her rotten!"

Fugaku trapped within the sacred tree Itachi created could only sweat drop as he heard his wife's cries. 'Even in death you are quite emotional…' Fugaku sighed.

Itachi had an awkward smile on his face from his mother's reaction, but was actually happy to see his wife and mother get along. The moment was quickly ruined as a crimson ruby red blade pierced through the sacred tree. Itachi returned to his stoic expression as his father had broken free from his restraints.

Mikoto's embrace grew tighter, as Neinhart seized back his control and tried to have Mikoto squeeze Mirajane to death. Mirajane however, broke free with a burst of her aura. And then quickly tilted her head sideways to avoid a kick from the recovered Izumi. Mirajane grabbed onto Izumi's ankle, and swung her crashing into Mikoto. "Sorry, I will be sure to end your suffering." Mirajane cupped her hands together, generating a powerful sphere of fire fused with some black lightning. "Soul Extinction!" Mirajane thrusted her arms forward, unleashing a massive wave of fire, the fire itself cloaked with crackling black lightning from her demonic energy.

Mikoto and Izumi looked like they had accepted their defeat, and welcomed it. But Neinhart wasn't having any of it. "Ryujin: Rampaging Fire!" Streams of lightning moved in and intercepted Mirajane's attack, causing it to split in half. Fugaku using his Mangekyou ability to manipulate Mirajane's fire attack.

Fugaku rose from the sacred tree, with a ruby red crimson blade cutting off the entire top half of the tree. Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan rotated as he formed his fire red Susano'o, the spectral warrior throwing a heavy punch with one of its four arms. Only for a giant ruby red spectral hand to catch it.

"Itachi, did you know…" Fugaku mumbled as a giant ruby blood red spectral warrior rose around him. The head of the roaring beast having horns, growing flesh and tissue, the beast grew in size. "That an Uchiha's Susano'o color, is reflecting their true inner self." Fugaku's Susano'o wielded dual wield swords, and then grew red samurai like armor. The giant ruby blood red spectral warrior unleashing an earth-shaking battle cry.

"Yes, I did." Itachi replied as his fire red Susano'o also grew its samurai like armor standing ready with sword and shield in hand. Itachi's Susano'o was red like a fire, but not in a destructive sense. It was filled with passion and life. Fire does not always result in destruction. Fire also provides warmth and comfort on cold nights.

Fugaku's Susano'o was blazing ruby red like fresh blood itself, filled with a fiery passion of rage and hatred. Fugaku like so many other Uchiha, never escaped the cycle of hatred. "I see, so this is your Susano'o… It is as I imagined it would be." Fugaku crossed his arms as he smiled at seeing Itachi having grown so powerful. "What was Sasuke's like?"

"Dark and purple… filled with the hatred of the Uchiha he had taken upon his own shoulders. But in the end, I think it was more as if Sasuke accepted all the hatred of the world. Because he understood it, more than anyone." Itachi smiled a bit, as he knew Naruto must have reached through to Sasuke, without a doubt his younger brother was on a path of righteousness alongside his friends.

"I see…" Fugaku looked a bit disheartened at hearing of how his youngest son ended up shouldering the hatred of their clan. "I wonder… Could we have escaped the path of hatred as well? Like Sasuke did… The path that you avoided from the start."

"I wonder myself that quite a lot. But I find it better to learn from past failures, instead of just dwelling on them." Itachi still wondered if perhaps Sasuke could have changed Fugaku and Mikoto, had Itachi just been honest with him from the start. Would the cries and the pleas of a young Sasuke change their minds on the coup? Maybe, but there was no use dwelling on it. Never again would Itachi allow such a situation to arise, he would secure the future of this world in this very war. For the sake of his comrades, friends and family, but most of all for the sake of his own unborn child.

"Let us end this, Itachi." Fugaku widened his eyes, power pouring out as the liquid took form around Fugaku's Susano'o making a harder and denser armor. "Hachiman: War Armor."

Itachi closed his eyes, as Fugaku's Susano'o was forming yasaka beads cloaked within the hardened shell of the Hachiman armor. "Indeed… let us end this." Itachi declared as Fugaku had his Susano'o toss the yasaka beads at Itachi. Itachi's eyes shot wide open, his Mangekyou blazing red and the aura of his Susano'o exploding into a massive fire spiritual pillar of energy. The force of the pillar negated the yaska beads of Fugaku and blew away parts of the hardened armor.

Fugaku looked in awe as Itachi's Susano'o grew in tremendous size, towering above mountains as it grew legs. The armor spread across the spectral giant. The jaws of the samurai head armor slamming shut around the head of the Susano'o with Itachi hovering in a central jewel at the Susano'o forehead. Majestic angelic like wings spread out from the spectral giant's back. "W-What is this?" Fugaku looked in awe at seeing Itachi's Susano'o that towered over his own.

"It is the Perfect Susano'o… Now, father, mother, Izumi… I shall let you all find peace." Itachi had his Susano'o draw out its giant blade, the force unleashed by the blade getting drawn out carving a giant scar into the earth's surface.

"Heh, I'm really heavily outclassed here. Hey, listen to my words, caster." Fugaku's eyes looked angered, and Neinhart onboard his ship could feel it. Neinhart flinched as he felt Fugaku's gaze stare into his soul. "You should never have underestimated the might of the Uchiha. My son, will take down you and your empire. And I will enjoy watching it from the otherworld." Fugaku smiled as Itachi had his Perfect Susano'o smack its sword into Fugaku's Susano'o, the sheer force and power of the blade tore the armor enhanced Susano'o of Fugaku apart.

In the meantime, Mirajane was getting pushed back, she still hadn't recovered fully from their encounter with August and Irene. But she just needed to bring out enough power to take the reanimated Mikoto and Izumi down.

"Itachi… really is an amazing person, isn't he?" Izumi smiled and casually asked as she locked her forearm in a power struggle against Mirajane. "But, you probably already knew that, didn't you?" Mirajane couldn't afford to look Izumi in the eyes, as her sharingan was activated. Mirajane smiled softly, and nodded.

"Yeah, he really is." Although Mirajane's gaze had softened, the strength of her muscles was still tense and pushing Izumi back.

"As someone who loves Itachi as much as me… mind telling me what made you fall for him?" Izumi asked, Mirajane was astonished that throughout this entire exchange Izumi didn't show any signs of being jealous. She felt so mature for her age, was it due to Itachi's Tsukuyomi upon Izumi's death? Did she age and mature mentally to a wise old woman thanks to the Tsukuyomi? Seeing as Izumi was a teenager at the time of her death, Mirajane had kind of expected to receive death glares from the girl.

"… Itachi helped me out of tough spot when I was young. When me and my siblings had no one to turn to, he found us and took us to his guild. Gave us a hot meal, offered us a home… And when I selfishly tried to leave, he changed my mind. Giving me many wonderful years with my brother and sister. Whenever I was in a dark place, he was there to pick me right back up. Unlike me, he was so strong, hardworking, made me aspire to work harder and become a better person." Mirajane blushed a bit faintly at remembering everything she and Itachi had been through together. Mirajane smiled happily, nearly in tears again as she and Itachi were going to become a true family once their child was born. "I suppose, his kind hearted nature, is what made me fall for him."

Izumi smiled softly, looking relieved. "I see… that's good. I fell for Itachi for similar reasons. He was there for me when my father died, and seeing him work so hard to become a powerful Shinobi, made me want to work harder as well, to become strong like my father. I'm truly glad, he managed to find you." Izumi's body trembled, as it seemed like she was doing her best to resist Neinhart's control, but she couldn't. "Make sure to give Itachi the happy life he deserves, what he gave me… What I couldn't give to him. Make sure to treat him well… or else I might just steal him away when the day comes for him to enter the afterlife." Izumi teasingly smiled and giggled, causing Mirajane to flinch a bit.

"Heh, I don't think so, because I will make sure Itachi has the best and the happiest life with me and our family." Mirajane threw back with a friendly smile, and just like that Izumi looked like she was left feeling at peace.

"Thank you…" Izumi mumbled, lowering her arm as Mirajane acted on the opening and rushed through Izumi with a wave of fire emitting from her arm, as she tore through Izumi's body.

Neinhart in the meantime flinched, sweat visibly dripping down from his face. "What is this? I cannot make Izumi regenerate? No, Izumi's willpower is preventing me from making her regenerate?!"

Izumi fell to her knees, her body covered in cracks that spread around her like a cobweb. Izumi's body glowed, as she began falling apart the light in her eyes vanishing.

Mirajane wasn't done however, as she flipped backwards to dodge incoming shuriken tossed by Mikoto. As Mikoto flashed a set of hand seals for a Fireball jutsu, a giant fiery red sword pierced through her. Mikoto's eyes widened, and cracks began emitting from her body as it crumbled.

"Now Mikoto as well?!" Neinhart snarled from within his ship.

Itachi's Susano'o came in for a landing, holding the sword out that pierced his mother. "Sorry for making you do this again… Itachi." Mikoto looked apologetic to her oldest son.

Itachi's eyes were covered by the bangs of his hair, yet Mikoto could tell that doing this again was painful for Itachi, as his body was shaking a bit. "… It's fine mother… you, father and Izumi can rest in peace now."

Fugaku's body laid in a pile of rubble, nearly obliterated beyond recognition from the strike of Itachi's Perfect Susano'o earlier. All three reanimated bodies were glowing, and the ghostly human figures of their spirits walked out from their destroyed reanimated bodies.

Itachi lowered his Susano'o, as he stood now next to Mirajane. With the spirits of Fugaku, Mikoto and Izumi gathering before them. "I'm sorry… father, mother, Izumi…. I-"

"It's okay, Itachi." His mother assured as she smiled lovingly at him.

"Itachi." Fugaku spoke up, gaining Itachi's full attention. "Earlier when I asked you of what became of Sasuke. I wanted to just hear the story from your own mouth. The truth is, that we already knew what happened." Fugaku revealed to which Itachi widened his eyes in shock.

"We've been watching over Sasuke from the pure lands, he did go through a troubled life indeed. In the end, he even had one last battle against Kushina's son. Then, Naruto saved Sasuke from his path of loneliness and hatred. Sasuke lived to get married, and had a beautiful daughter named Sarada." Mikoto continued where Fugaku left off.

Itachi was trembling at what he was hearing, tear beginning to fall from his eyes. "We're sorry for making you retell us your story… We just thought it would be good for you to get it out of your chest." Fugaku lowered his head apologetically to his son.

"It's fine… I'm just… happy to hear that Sasuke managed to find happiness." Itachi smiled gently, and Mirajane smiled happily for her husband.

"Truth is, we've actually waited for you in the pure lands since your death. But you never came, we were actually worried the Gods had decided to punish you. But now we realize why you never came to join us. It was because you were here… We are glad to see you have found a life for yourself." Fugaku for once smiled warmly, looking at his oldest son with love. Mikoto even sniffed some tears away, seems her spirit form allowed her to release those pent-up tears from this little reunion.

Fugaku's expression then turned sternly. "But you must never forget who you are."

Itachi nods to his father and smiles at his parents and former lover. "I am Itachi Uchiha… A proud Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf, a proud member of the Uchiha clan… And, a proud Fairy Tail mage, master, husband and a father." Itachi grabbed onto Mirajane's hand. "What is more than that… I am the son of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha." Itachi's kind words bring great joy to his parents, as they are defeated and their spirits begin to float to the heavens.

Mikoto looks to be crying. "We'll be sure to watch over you as well from time to time…" Mikoto cried, they would watch over both their sons from now on as they knew they were both alive.

"You've made us even prouder, son. We can rest in peace now." Fugaku smiles.

Izumi however, floats over to Itachi and embraces him in a hug, looking to be in a similar position as she was after Itachi had used the Tsukuyomi on her. "I just have one wish for you to grant me, Itachi." Izumi's spirit cried. "Even if it is not with me, make sure the happiness you showed me in that illusion, becomes a reality for you. With your new family."

Itachi sheds a tear for his lost love with Izumi. "I will…" Itachi promises, making Izumi smile lovingly, the tears continuing running down her face. Then, Izumi's spirit seemed to age. Her hair turning silver grey, her face aging and gaining wrinkles. Looking as she did when she was on her death bed in Itachi's Tsukuyomi. Itachi looks into Izumi's eyes, and smiles at seeing the happy smile on Izumi's wrinkly old face. "I will never forget you…" Itachi reached his hand out to touch Izumi's cheek, although she was a spirit and he couldn't physically touch her.

Izumi then floated up to the heavens along with Itachi's parents. "Goodbye, son. Till we meet again in the long distant future." Fugaku said his final departing words to his oldest son, and then they vanished into the clouds.

Motionlessly, Itachi stares into the skies above, the spirits of his departing parents and Izumi now long gone from his sight. A single tear trails down his cheek as he aimlessly looks up at the night sky. "Goodbye… Izumi… father… mother." Itachi then feels the warm sensation of his loving wife Mirajane's embrace, as she hugs his arm. Watching along with him at the starry heavens.

"They were great parents, weren't they?" Mirajane also shed a tear, feeling her husband's pain.

"Yeah… too bad I was such a troublesome child." Itachi let out a weak chuckle.

Seeing his parents and former lover's spirits departing into the afterlife, Itachi wondered if this is how Sasuke felt when Itachi's own spirit departed before his eyes. Itachi clenched his fists and breathed in and then let out a trembling exhale, feeling various emotions bubbling up inside of him. "Warren… patch me through to Mystogan." Itachi spoke through the mental link he had to their guild's telepath, his voice sounding strict and collected.

"Right away Seventh Master." Warren replied quickly from his end.

"Mystogan, it is Itachi… Are you on your way to the coordinates I gave you earlier?" Itachi asked having given Mystogan a certain set of coordinates nearly right after Irene's Universe One spell.

"Yes, me and Knightwalker are making our way as we speak." Mystogan replied from his end.

"Good, this wretched spell needs to be put to an end." Itachi looked with anger as he saw what remained of his reanimated parents and Izumi's body. A pile of what looked like paper surrounding three bodies of dead Imperial Knights that belonged to Neinhart's own squad.

"I understand you found out his location during our battle with Obito Uchiha. But what makes you think he is still there?" Mystogan couldn't help but wonder, as it would be strategic for someone to escape if their location was compromised during a war.

"This land altering spell probably only affected the land mass itself, so the surrounding oceans remained unchanged. Besides, Neinhart is someone that is cursed with a weakness known as overconfidence. He won't run simply because he believes we aren't a threat to him." Itachi might not know much about Neinhart, but those characteristics of Neinhart were clear to Itachi the moment they conversed through the reanimation link Neinhart had with Obito.

Meanwhile, with chaos happening on land, out in the clear open sea were warships from the Alvarez Imperial Navy. A frontal ship was suddenly shaken by an explosion, causing it to catch fire and starting to sink to the bottom of the sea. Upon a closer inspection, one could see two figures jump from ship to ship, casually slaying the crew onboard as they attacked the haul of the ships making them catch fire.

It was Mystogan and Erza Knightwalker, casually knocking several charging soldiers off the side of the ship. Knightwalker pointed her spear towards a charging group, and fired of a beam of magical energy. "I missed this weapon." Knightwalker smiled, being in Earthland she could once again used her trusted magical tool as it absorbed the Ethernano around it.

"Knightwalker, it seems we have company." Mystogan warned his wife, the Queen of Edolas.

Four figures jumped from the sails of the ship, and came charging down onto them. One was a big bulky man dressed in armor wielding a large spiked iron ball connected to a chain. The other was a dark-haired man wearing dark platted armor, wielding a lance as a weapon. The other two also wore identical armor, one had a scar over his right eye and a diamond earing on his right ear. The last one wore a cape with spikes on his shoulder pads.

"We are the commanding officers of Lord Neinhart's army! You shall not pass!" The dark-haired lance wielder declared.

Knightwalker rushed right at them, thrusting her spear forward she blasted a hole into the giant bulky man's torso. "His majesty doesn't have time for you weaklings! Get out of his sight!" The other three knights looked startled as their big bulky comrade fell over dead.

"You bitch!" The caped one lifted his sword, attempting to cut Knightwalker down with a downwards swing.

Edolas or not, she was still Erza. With an upwards swing of her spear, Knightwalker shattered the caped knight's sword and cut through his armor like butter, cutting him across his torso. Blood splattered raining down, as the caped knight fell over dead. Without wasting a single breath, in a swift smooth motion Knightwalker decapitated the two remaining knights in a single move.

"Quite efficient to say the least." Mystogan sweat dropped a bit under neath his hood at Knightwalker's brutal display.

Mystogan and Knightwalker didn't waste a single second, they sunk the ship and jumped towards the next one. Before them they saw a ship bigger than the rest. "There we go, according to Itachi's coordinates this is the ship." Mystogan and Erza Knightwalker went in for a crash landing onto the deck of the ship.

"Get them!" Imperial knights raised their magical spears, beginning to blast them with magical bullets. Every bolt simply passed right through Mystogan as he rushed towards the knights, who freaked out at seeing their attacks phase through Mystogan like that. Mystogan loosened the strap on the staffs he carried on his back. Mystogan's staffs lodged themselves around the entire ship deck, rays of light flying between them forming a pentagram seal.

"Great Collapse." Mystogan and Knightwalker both leaped high up into the air, as the rays released from Mystogan's staffs caused the screaming knights to get vaporized, their bodies crumbling within their armor. Not only the knights, but the wood on the deck of the ship crumbled and withered.

Mystogan and Knightwalker jumped into the hole of the ship, leading them below deck. Sitting in a throne, with his back turned to Mystogan and Knightwalker, was Neinhart of the Spriggan Twelve. "I never imagined you would be the ones to find me… I had hoped Itachi himself would have come at least."

Mystogan steps up closer to Neinhart, who gets up from his throne. "Itachi couldn't be bothered with the likes of you. So, we're here instead."

Neinhart chuckles, feeling heavily underestimated, in his anger he shoves his throne aside and turns around to face the King and Queen of Edolas. "Granted, out of the Twelve I am considered the weakest. But tell me, how can I be the weakest if I can control an army of the dead? It's ridiculous I tell you." Neinhart drags his hand through his purple hair, revealing his hidden eye which was black and with his iris glowing in a menacing purple color. "Itachi will be sure to regret sending an inferior version of Jellal and Lady Erza, when I kill you."

Knightwalker steps up next to Mystogan, stabbing the end of her spear into the floorboard, as it gathers up a good amount of Ethernano. "We'll just have to see, won't we?" Mystogan stabs his various staffs into the floorboard, surrounding them like an arena.

"The estranged King and Queen of Edolas wish to gang up on little old me?" Neinhart smirks, as his eyes light up, his second eye turning black with its iris glowing purple like his hidden one. What appears to be phantoms are seen rising from between the floorboards of the ship, snaring themselves around Neinhart like snakes. "How amusing!"

That's the end for now!

(Responds to reviews):

Shadow Joestar: Thanks! Things are really heating up, with a lot of fights about to come to a clash.

Godofwar01: Yes, after this I am making a sequel story going into my own version of the 100 Year Quest story. I have a lot of story ideas already, one involving a brand-new Naruto and Fairy Tail crossover. As for involving the time magic of Julius from Black Clover, perhaps I could if I find room for it. Sounds like something that would suit Fairy Heart Zeref tbh.

chidioranu3: If you need to ask at chapter 51 why Itachi has the Rinnegan, then you have not been paying attention to the story. He has had the Rinnegan since the Tartaros arc and it was explained back there. Itachi has gotten a lot stronger, and is probably strong enough to fight Madara in an all-out battle, but personally I would say Madara is still stronger.

keybladelight: The most unexpected team up, but not an unwelcomed one I would say. I hope the Uchiha reunion lived up to your expectations.

springtony: Thanks, glad you liked it.

Athallah: It's okay, don't worry I will not give up on this story, I promise. The story will even continue after this arc, with the 100 Years Quest sequel.

Guest: It's okay, relax I will not give up on this story. Although I might sometimes be slow in my updates, but I will try my best.

lopzy: Because at the end of his life Itachi realized that lies will only lead to failure, and being a former spy Itachi is a great judge of character and would realize he could trust Makarov. He confirms as much during his and Sasuke's fight against Kabuto. That is why.

DarkReaderSeiin: Thanks! It would be terrifying for both sides if they saw Madara coming in, riding on top of Acnologia's head. Although Itachi has gained control of E, I fear he might need more power to take on Madara and Acnologia. And I can guarantee, that not just people from Edolas but also Earthland will die, I have a few more characters on my list that are going to die.

Chomusuke: Yeah, I hope to rewrite some of the earlier chapters to fix that. Hope you've kept reading the rest of the story though.

stupid sick arc: Edolas, all the way until Edolas did the sick thing last. But I doubt you read far enough to know that.

dukkeh216: Well, in Naruto it is called the Element of Nations if I am not mistaken. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning.

AhmadiU: Thanks!

Guest: It is something called character growth and progression. Besides with his Sharingan Itachi can easily copy other forms of ninjutsu that does not involve other Kekkei Genkai, so it is not far fetched for him to be able to copy such techniques. And on top of it, that would mean it is something Itachi can do with the abilities he already had in the original Naruto timeline. He just didn't have enough stamina or chakra to spam various ninjutsu due to his sickness. Also, here is an idea your tiny brain might not have considered, but how about writing a story of your own? And stop expecting everyone else to apply to your likes and wishes.
