White Eclipse
Chapter 53

Natsu, Lucy, Gray and Happy all arrived at Fairy Tail. Having been there for minutes already, conversation about Tartaros was already sparked and quickly within depth.
"Well..." Makarov says as he exhales from the exhaustion of hearing about the famous dark guild. "They're coming alive. It's starting to look inevitable."
"Master.." Erza looked upon Makarov, feeling uneasiness as she hears the doubt in his voice. Makarov grins however. "Don't worry. They'll slip up. One of them will slip, and that'll give us the opening we need. I hope you all realize how heavy this situation is though. How much this country, now this world relies on you all. This is the so called perk of being one of the strongest guilds in Fiore."
Levy sat behind the standing Makarov, books piled high as she read through them at a high speed with her glasses. Searching for any clues about Tartaros from the old books, she then pulled her glasses away as she sighed in exhaustion. "Nothing. For such a strong and well known dark guild, there's barely any information on them. I just don't understand it. There's more information on the Book of Zeref than these guys, and that's saying something."
Laxus, who was leaning against the bar in front of Mirajane, gave a shrug. "We don't need any information besides where to find them."
Mirajane then politely interjects.
"But it would be nice to know what you're up against. They aren't regular mages. This is plenty different than anything we've fought. I would put these guys up there with Acnologia."
"Come on Mira!" Natsu says. "I wouldn't put them that high, Acnologia dominated us."
"...And what are these guys doing?" Mirajane asked rhetorically, causing Natsu to hang his head a bit, knowing she was right. "We had two lucky breaks against them. A third time seems unlikely."
Juvia stood next to Gray, uninvited to stand so close of course. "Juvia thinks that Fairy Tail should at least take some kind of offensive against Tartaros, before they get us. I can't bare thinking of what would happen if they hurt Gray-Sama or anyone else."
Gray begins to slowly inch away as he spoke. "She's right though, we need some kind of attack and soon. They're playing with us."
"We also need to stop talking as if we can handle this alone." Erza says as she folds her arms.
"What do you mean?" Elfman asked. "A man knows that we all have each other. And we fight together, we fight like a man!" Elfman's statement caused Natsu and Happy to shout in excitement with a fist in the air.
"That's not what I meant." Erza curls her lip at her own thoughts. "We need...them. It's undeniable."
"No!" Gray knew exactly where Erza was headed with her statement. "We've never needed their help, they've forced their way into our fights! That's different."
"And every time it was a blessing in disguise, Gray. So, I think we should hold a meeting with White Eclipse."
Makarov nods. "I agree."
"Master!" Gray looked on in shock.
"They've put a lot of stress on me these past few meetings, but they're the best we have right now."
"I can talk to them!" Lisanna says as she makes her presence known. "We need a voice from someone who hasn't fought with them. Just to set up the meeting."
"Good idea Lisanna!" Wendy says as she stood next to Charla, smiling.
"It's settled then." Makarov nods once again.
Gajeel then stood up, next to the seated Levy. "I can't wait. Gihe! I want to thrash these guys so bad!" Gajeel then forms his fists into iron poles as he crosses them like an X. "I'm going to give whoever's in my way the beating of a lifetime." Gajeel continued grinning until he immediately stopped. He stopped because from the ceiling, a bright orange and red drop of liquid fell, and landed on his right arm, singeing right into the middle. He let out a quick yelp of pain as he reverts his arm back to normal, trying to shake off the liquid.
"Gajeel?" Levy looks at the Iron Dragon in confusion, as does everyone else in small radius. As another drop falls, Levy looks up along with Gajeel and everyone else. The drop that fell singes through the floor.
Gajeel's eyes widen as he catches on. "Shrimp!" Quickly adding on his iron scales, Gajeel towers over Levy to cover her up entirely as a huge funnel of lava comes crashing through the ceiling like a vortex. The impact covers Gajeel and Levy completely, and the impact of the lava touching down sends anyone around them flying and sliding back. Everyone looked on wide eyed until the vortex came to a stop. "Gajeel! Levy!" Erza called out for them both. Under Gajeel's unconscious body, was a whimpering solid script mage. She continuously shook the unresponsive mage. "Gajeel... Gajeel! Wake up!"
"Ah man. Excuse the entrance mates. I thought it'd have more pizazz than that." From the lava around on the floor, Maggie appears as with a grin on her face. The white haired female looked around a bit.
"You!" Natsu growled out as Maggie tools form.
"Me?" Maggie asked sarcastically, pointing a finger to herself.
Not wasting anytime, Laxus opens his mouth, firing a Roar of the Lightning Dragon toward the "unsuspecting mage, but before contact, a giant figure steps in, taking the blow, but even before the giant figure took the blow an inhaling sound was heard, as Mithril began sucking in the lightning. The
Abnormally tall "man" grinned at Laxus as he wiped his chin. "Not gonna lie. That was the worst lightning ever. Have it back." And with that, Mirhril fires off a lightning roar of his own. The funnel was huge, about three times the size of what Laxus fired. As it made it's way to Laxus, the roar literally uprooted and destroyed everything in it's path. An entire third of the guild was gone in an instant.
At first Laxus elected to dodge, but as he took his first step to the right, his eyes widen as he realized who was behind him. He quickly shifts all of his momentum back and slides in front of the wide open Mirajane with his arms out. He then let out a loud agonizing yell as the roar hit him square on.
"Laxus!" Wendy yelled as she watched the dragon slayer fall near seemingly lifelessly to the ground. She began to run over to heal the mage, but before she could take her first step, someone grabs her by the wrist. She turns to see a smiling pink haired Sora. "You're pretty. Lets play together!"
"Huh?" Wendy was caught in a small trance as she stared into Sora's big blue eyes in a mixture of confusion and shock. Though her blue eyes were as clear as the ocean and inviting, the deeper she stared, the scarier and more evil they seemed. As Wendy stood staring at Sora, frozen, her own shadow began to rise from behind her.
"Wendy! Get away from her!" Gray yelled as he leaped over a table, rushing towards them both. But it was too late. As Wendy turned around, her shadow sends her flying, and slamming against the ceiling with a Sky Dragon's wing slash. Wendy hit her head and falls helplessly back down.
"Wendy!" Charla yelled out as the chaos continues. Gray slammed a fist into his open palm, creating an icy aura around him. "Ice make:-" before he could finish, three of Sora's shadow puppets appear. Two of them go their separate ways as the one in the middle jabs it's crimson fingertips into Grays abdomen. It then swings Gray into the air. Meeting the ice maker at the peak of his ascension. The puppet then throws down a vertical claw, slamming the attack against Gray's head as he goes falling to the ground. The impact breaks the floor from under him, sending Fullbuster into the basement floor violently.
"Gray-Sama!" Juvia runs towards Gray, only to have a lava whip wrap around her neck. Due to her being made of water, not only did she begin to choke from the constriction, but oddly, her neck and shoulders began to boil slowly from the heat of the lava whip. Juvia falls to her knees as her lips parted, trying to scream in pain but the fact she was choking was the only thing holding her back.
"Juvia!" Erza quickly requipped into her flame empress armor and flew directly towards Maggie, only to be cut off by Mithril. The giant swings a lightning infused kick that slams right into Erza's stomach. She was lucky to be able to quickly requip to her lightning empress armor to cushion the damage of the lightning, but the kick itself sent her flying into the far wall as she sat there, conscious, but hurt to where she couldn't move so suddenly.
Natsu at this time, charges Mithril, leaving Lucy and Lisanna standing back to back as the two other shadow puppets cornered them. Natsu reared back a fiery right fist, and swings it at an alert Mithril. Mithril turns and meets his fist with one of his own. The lightning and flames collide for a dangerous shockwave that breaks apart anything in a small radius around them. Mithril then opens his fist and grabs the flamed right fist of Natsu, nearly unphased by the flames. "What the-" was Natsu's last words between them as Mithril yanked Natsu towards him and slung a lightning infused haymaker into the dragon slayer's skull. Instant knock out, but the worse has yet to happen as Mithril hung onto Natsu's arm. Normally, Natsu would of went flying from the attack due to the force, but instead, the Lightning Dragon held on and slung Natsu around like a rag doll, slamming him into the ground three times before tossing him through a wall and out of the guild.
"ENOUGH!" The old man yells as he throws off his robe. Makarov then grows in size as he towers over even Mithril. "You will all be severely punished for your actions!" Makarov the begins to rear back a fist, looking directly at the sadistically smiling Maggie.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you." Said a childish voice from behind. Makarov and the other mages turn around to see Jikan Calium standing next to Erza. He held a hand over the scarlet haired mage as a white magic seal appeared over her head. She was unable to move due to it. Erza then...began to age at a rapid pace. At first unnoticeable due to her youthful features, after a good twenty seconds of silence, wrinkles began to form on the mages face.
"What are you doing to her!?" The wizard saint yelled out.
"She aging. Dying." Jikan said as he smiled. "Now, shrink back down to size or she'll die from old age."
Not giving it a second thought, Makarov quickly shrunk back to his normal size.
"Good old man." Jikan then releases his spell, causing Erza to fall over. She slowly began to revert back to her age since the spell wasn't completed. Jikan then boldly walks past Makarov as he makes his way to the middle of the guild. Now, Maggie, Sora, and Mithril joined the master of Silent Sanctum in the middle as Maggie let go of Juvia.
"Juvia!" Cana yells out as she grabs her, cradling the mage. She pulled down the collar to her jacket a bit to see the scolding marks around her neck and shoulders. "You monsters!" The card mage yelled out.
"Monsters? Like beast?" The time mage Jikan asked rhetorically. "We have a beast. Mithril, show them what a beast can do.
Mithril smirks as he releases a bright white-ish yellow magic circle from under him. He then gives a toothy grin as a dome of lightning covers him and the dark mages. The dome then expands out, uprooting the entire floor, destroying every pillar and wall. The ceiling quickly comes crashing down. Electrified as well, every fairy tail mage was violently pushed out of the guild as he collapses with ease. Standing in the middle of the rubble, unharmed, the dark mages looked around at what used to be. Also standing unharmed, yet scared frozen, was Lisanna. She was inside the magic seal when the chaos happened. "I love when a plan comes together." Jikan says as he grins towards Lisanna.
Lisanna backed away from the mages as she looked around at the fallen mages.
Elfman, who was laying face first in the ground, struggles to look up, seeing his little sister being cornered. "L-Lisanna...! Run..." He reaches out for her even though he was no where near her.
"Nii-san..." Lisanna looks over at her collapsing brother. She then takes a step back, only to run into another mage. The green haired dimensional mage Rugal stood behind her. She turned around slowly to the grinning mage. Lisanna then let out a scream as Elfman looked back up. The last he saw before blacking out, was Lisanna being dragged against her will into a portal as the mages leave Fairy Tail. "L-Lisanna..!"

Ultear began backing away, on he defensive as Orion pursued her with his sword, swinging every which way in hopes to make contact with the time ark mage. Ultear then rolls away from a vertical strike as she then fires off a multitude of orbs towards Orion. "Luminous minutes!" Orion covers up as the orbs fire towards him like light beams, slamming into him. As the smoke clears, Orion stood with minimal scratches on him. "Tch...strong spirit."
Ruika gives an uninterested huff as she raises another key. "You need help it seems. So... Gate of the Eagle, Aquila." From his gate out pops a dark skinned humanoid with brown eagle wings and a sword. Instead of speaking like every other spirit, Aquila turns to give Ruika a transition of hand signs that she understands perfectly. Ruika then points at Ultear who was watching carefully. Aquila then turns to the council's First Lady, and holds his sword out to the side. As the humanoid did so, his sword extends to a great length until it plunged into the far wall. He then swung the sword horizontally towards Ultear. The sword easily breaks apart the wall on it's way to his main target. Ultear rolls out the way to avoid the sword, but she rolls right into Orion who slams a kick into her gut, sending her tumbling backwards until she came to a rolling stop, holding her stomach. Before Ultear could react, Aquila's sword extends again, this time through the ceiling as he swings it vertically. Ultear desperately dives out of the way of the vertical slice. Once again, Orion cuts her off as he slams a stomp to the diving Ultear. He goes for another, but Ultear quickly leaps back to gain space. Now panting heavily, the ticked off time mage placed a fist into her open palm as a frosty aura emitted from her hands. "Ice make.."
"I thought you were a time mage?"
"Rosen Krone!" Ultear slams her hand down as a garden of thorns and roses arise, slamming into Orion. Aquila dodges by taking flight towards the hole he made in the ceiling. Though taking heavy damage, Orion was still raring to go.
"What's it gonna take!?" Ultear says as she continues to pant heavily.
"Orion." The warrior turns to Ruika and quickly bows to her. "Yes, Ruika my one and only!"
"Go back to your gate."
Without an arguement, Orion salutes and disappears in a golden light. Ruika then holds up another key as it shines. "Gate of the Dragon. Drago."
Out of the gate, another humanoid, this time resembling a dragon, appears. He stood next to Aquila, staring down Ultear.
"That's fine! They'll all fall!" She yells as she re enters her ice make stance. "Ice make: bloom!" She fires off another variety of her ice make technique, a different style of ice roses and thorns arise from the ground around Drago as Aquila evades once again. Surrounded, Drago simply holds out his arms to the side. With the flex of his arms, fire arises from the ground, immediately melting the ice into nothing.
"What!?" The time ark mage looked on in complete shock.
"Drago, burn this entire wing down." Ruika says as she begins to swing her feet, still sitting on the pile of bodies.
Drago nods, then grins, and then begins to slowly raise his arms up into the air. As his arms rose, so did the flames as they violently shot out everywhere. With no where to go, Ultear lets out a loud yell as the flames overtake her and the entire wing.

"Meteor.." Aloysis's body is overcome with a golden aura as he grins at Doranbolt. Immediately, they both "disappear" as Doranbolt uses his magic to phase around. Aloysis keeps up easily however and the two exchange blows around Arc and Lahar who have yet to move. Doranbolt was giving it everything he had with each attack, while Aloy continued to grin as he nonchalantly parried everything thrown at him. Doranbolt threw a right hook, but Aloysis sways his head away from it with minimal movement. He the then slams a knee into Doranbolts stomach and holds it there as the councilman hunches over from the blow. Aloysis then holds Doranbolt up, and behind to fire rapid punches to the mage with little effort. His jabs felt like haymakers as Doranbolt would continuously float in and out of consciousness from each hit.
Back on the ground, the darkness demon slayer finally makes a move after waiting, firing off a wave of darkness magic towards Lahar. Lahar quickly creates a wall of runes in front of him that blocks the wave, but as he did so, Arc quickly makes his way around them, slamming a kick into then ribs of Lahar. Lahar hunches to the side from the blow. Arc then wraps darkness magic around both of his fists and crouches a bit. He then continuously slams short darkness infused uppercuts to the stomach of Lahar. Though taking a beating, Lahar was able to pull a miracle as he slaps a palm against Arcturus's chest, creating a binding style of ruins. The bind restricts Arc's movements as he stops punching. After catching his breath, Lahar takes no chances and creates a box of runes around Arcturus to keep him confined. Feeling like he's won, Lahar grins a bit as he pants, but Arc begins to laugh as he grips the binding spell around him. Lahar watches with wide eyes as Arc literally pulls the binding off of him, breaking it into nothing. Arc then takes a step forward, and then slams a headbutt against the wall of the runes. After two seconds, the wall cracks and then breaks into nothing.
"I-impossible! Runes can't be broken..!"
"What did I just do then?" Arc grins as he then puffs out his cheeks a bit. "Howl...of the Darkness demon." Lahar puts up another wall of runes, but Arc fires anyways, his howl shattering through the wall like nothing as it slams into Lahar, engulfing him and pushing him out into the horizon, no longer to be seen. Arc watches him go, and then turns to Aloysis.
"Let's wrap this up.."

"I have an uneasy feeling..." Adamantine stood in the corner of the room as White Eclipse stood or sat around the inn's main room with their master, Calium. "Something is off, and I feel like we'll find out sooner or later."
"Relax a bit Adam, you're creeping us out." Kairi says as she plops down into a chair, now sitting between Heather and Selene.
"I don't know." Heather says as she squints at Adam. "You know animals have better senses than humans. And Adam's a dragon, the animal of animals."
"Point taken." Selene adds. "We Dragon slayers have a heightened sense of smell, so who knows that Adam can sense since he's the real deal."
"Can we stop talking about me like I'm some beast being monitored?" The Ice Dragon scoffs as he averts his eyes to a random spot on the wall.
"Anyways." Luke interrupts. "We need a plan about Tartaros. It's evident that we won't survive such attacks if they keep coming."
"Can we hold out on talking about Tartaros?" Skye asked as she rubbed her bandaged torso. "Every time you say that name I can feel my wound throbbing in pain."
"Tartaros." Cygnus says with a grin, causing Skye to wince. "Stop!"
Kairi begins to laugh as she joins on the mental torture. "Tartaros!" She yells out as she stands over Skye, wiggling her fingers as if trying to be spooky. Skye winces again in pain as she kept her back against the wall. "You guys are...are..." Skye suddenly feels a painful sensation in her left shoulder. Kairi's eyes widen as she backs away from the requip mage. Skye slowly looks down as she sees a long, crimson tripped sharp finger pierced through her shoulder. She then cries out in a mix of fear in pain as the finger pulls out of the shoulder. Everyone turns in her direction. "Skye!?" Zalen looks over to see her scrambling to her feet and run towards the middle of the group. She held her wound as everyone looks at her and Kuro in confusion. Before either one could speak, a loud crash happens through the roof as Mithril appears right in front of Adamantine. In shock and off guard, Adam gawked at Mithril as he quickly grinned. "Hey, 'brother.' "
"Mithril!" Before Adamantine could move, Mithril slammed a heavy lightning infused right hook to the Ice dragon's nose. Adam slides back from the blow, right into a now open portal that closes right behind him.
"Adam!" Luke turns his attention to Mithril, but before he could move, two lava whips wrap around his wrists. "Hold on there love. Don't run off too quickly." Maggie now stood behind Luke as she began to burn his skin with her lava. After a bit of a struggle, Luke created a fiery aura around him to soften the burning. He then began to pull Maggie towards him. Maggie played along, and slid towards the copy mage as he pulled, and once less than a foot away, she popped open her mouth. "Ash fall." A gray magic seal appears before her as she fires off a ball of ash. Slamming into his chest, the ball of ash explodes against Luke on impact. Out of the smoke, a semi conscious Luke falls backwards through a table and lays there. That was enough for Heather as she quickly lunged toward Maggie with a right fist reared back. She slams it against, or rather through Maggie's right shoulder. The lava mage laughs as her shoulder reforms back to normal. "Nice try, now go sit down." Maggie then fires off a funnel of lava with her right hand. Heather quickly counteracts with a quick poison dragon's roar. The lava quickly over takes the roar and then slams into Heather, sending her into the wall.
Taya ran towards Maggie only to have her own shadow appear behind her and tripping her. As she turned around, her shadow stood with Sora as the little girl looked down at the dark vector mage. Sora pointed at her with an evil look. "You left us."
"S-Sora."
"TRAITOR!" Sora yelled as Taya's shadow conjured up dark vectors from underneath Taya, violently tossing her around.
Mithril turns and fires off a huge Lightning Roar, slowly spinning as he fired. As the mages dove out of the way, the roar levels the entire inn and even some of the building around it as it powers out of the inn from it's sheer force. As the inn collapses, the mages make it out safely. Sidney dropped the hurt Luke as he appeared from his room at the last second. Beside him was an enraged Calium. "It seems you all want punishment." Calium says as he claps his palms together and then slightly separates them. Four towers now surround the dark mages; two made of light and two made of dark magic.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, old man."
Calium's ears perk up as the kid walks into view. "Dispel that Calium, if you know what's good for your brats.
His eyes widen. He then narrows them as he looked upon the young boy. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing, Gramps."
"Gramps?" Sidney looks over at Calium, who has yet to take his eyes off of Jikan.
"I thought you would of croaked by now, but I'm actually glad to see you okay old man. It allows me the honor to ending you."
"Why are you still so young?" Calium asked.
"Oh...pardon me. Let me fix that." Everyone watched Jikan as he pulled out is pocket watch. He swung it back and forth as a magic seal appeared under him. In a flash, the young boy grew into a young man, with the appearance of someone in their thirties.
"...You look just like your father." Calium says to the now lightly bearded time mage. Jikan narrows his eyes at the comment. "Don't ever compare me to him, or yourself. As leader of Silent Sanctum, we've come here to borrow someone. You'll get her back if you can survive Tartaros castle."
"What!?" Calium stood in confusion. Jikan on the other hand, expanded a clear magic seal from the ground. He then grins as everything and everyone freezes except for him and the dark mages he came with.
With that, Rugal grabs the frozen in time Skye Ravenwood, and opens a portal. Tossing the requip mage in, Rugal then stands aside as Mithril pulls Adamantine out, throwing the giant into the ground with ease. Though everyone was "frozen," they could see exactly what was going on. Upon watching, Sidney's body begins to twitch as the SS class mage tries to fight against time itself.
"Hey, you two, he's all yours. You said you wanted to give him a message." Jikan says as he faced the portal. Though it seemed like he was talking to no one, out of the portal appeared two mages; one male and one female and older looking. On their opposite arms was the Silent Sanctum symbol. They both oddly resembled Luke Cloud himself, the man a bit taller with brown hair, nearly the same style as Luke's. The woman was a bit shorter, with black hair, about medium length. The two mages walked over to the frozen copy cat. The frozen, yet aware mage looked on as the woman bent down to his eye level, gently grabbing his chin.
"Well looks who's gotten all big and strong!" The woman says, scrunching up her face at the copy cat. "And by strong I don't mean magic wise. I had expected you to be trouble when they attacked just now, but here you are, on the ground."
"The man that resembled Luke then walks over, still standing as he looks down." My my. It's like a spitting image, in looks that is. We've been watching you closely, /son/. We aren't impressed. But hey!"
The man then crouches down as he looks eye to eye with the frozen mage. "Tartaros is having a party later today. And you're invited. If you survive your mother's next attack that is."
"Don't be late my baby boy." The woman and man then stand, and begin walking away back towards the portal with everyone else. As they did, the female mage formed a black ball in her right hand. "Black God's bomb." She then tossed it in the air over her shoulder. Both of them walk through the portal, Jikan steps through behind them, the portal closing as well. Jikan leaving the area, caused time to return to normal and a second after it did so, the black god's bomb landed and exploded on impact...the radius of the bomb's explosion covering about a third of the city.

"Come on Layanna get it together!" The bleach blonde council soldier was down to a knee with her sword and shield holding her up. She made her way back to her feet as Cerberus and Ourobouros stalk her by circling around her slowly.
"So are you gonna give up and let my babies eat you, or are you still trying to give a futile effort to save your own life? Either way I'm on a right schedule and now they're gonna have to take you in a to go box and devour you later."
Layanna makes her way to her feet and points her blade at Kiora, letting her know that she wasn't going to just quit. Kiora merely shook her head. "It was your funeral either way." She snapped her fingers, and both of her shadowed beasts charged the council soldier alternatively. Cerberus rammed shoulder first into the shield that Layanna held, sliding her backwards a good bit. Cerberus's strength was more than enough to keep her occupied as Ourobouros quickly wrapped it's body around her, slowly squeezing the life out of her. Grinning, Kiora begins walking toward Layanna as she dropped her weapons due to having the breath squeezed out of her. Kiora grabs Layanna by the hair and lifts her head to the barely breathing soldier. "Pathetic, not gonna lie. It seems they hire whoever signs up here." With that, Kiora snaps her fingers twice and points to the dead end wall of the wing. Cerberus charges and pounces, knocking the wall down with it's strength. As Ourobouros lets go of Layanna, is slithers behind Kiora as she walks out of the hole in the wall. "Ourobouros, redecorate please."
The cosmic snake turns around on command and pops it's jaw open. From it's throat, a beam of raw magic begins to form. Then, seconds later, the giant snake fires off a massive beam of magic, uprooting and destroying the entire wing in one blow, sweeping Layanna away in the process.

"Titans fist!" Through a magic seal, Correll fires a right hook that expanded five times it's size, increasing it's strength. It slams into Myou, and even though she began sliding back, she stood emotionless and unphased from the attack. Correll looked on with wide eyes as Tobias slid beside him with a grin. Two small red magic circles appear in front of Tobias as he begins to thrust his arms forward repeatedly. Out of the seal, fireballs about the size of softballs began crashing into and around Correll as the blonde haired mage tried to cover up to reduce the pain. Swept off his feet, Correll couldn't do a thing as Tobias continued to project the fire balls, attacking Correll all over. Tobias finally stops, and after a few seconds, the brutally injured Correll looks up to see that Tobias was no longer there. The kid was so knocked off his senses that he forgot he was fighting a two on one and clearly dismissed the quiet Myou. And just then, Myou slammed a powerful front kick to Correll's temple, slamming his head against the unforgiving wall next to him. He instantly blacked out.
"Heh...you're not bad Myou." Tobias said as he appeared at the exit. "Now destroy this wing so we can wait on the others."
Myou stared at Tobias for a bit. Though an emotionless look, she stared because she felt like Tobias was giving her orders. The feeling made Tobias a bit uneasy as he raised a brow. She followed through with the orders anyways as red smoke began to flow out of her hands as she skipped out of the room. Tobias didn't have time to give her another look of confusion since he knew what was coming, so he exited the wing first. Myou skipped out right behind him and then slid into a turn. She then held out an open palm, and gripped it into a fist. The last thing that was heard in that area was a massive explosion...and cries of agony from Correll.

He hears the chaos going on from up above. As the lights flicker on and off, so does the magic power in the lower floors. The crystal that trapped him and the other criminals begins to dissipate. When his completely vanishes, he stands. Flashing a smile, he walks towards the staircase. "I hear them...my fellow dark mages. Tartaros is always a lively bunch when active. It's a great sound."

.
"Oxygen Depletion!" Odin holds out his hand as a white magic circle appears. The magic seal now begins to visibly suck out the oxygen in the room. As this happens, Hokori just stands there as he breathes in another puff of his cigarette. "I've been destroying my lungs man. Your magic is useless to me."
Beside him, Byron begins to comically turn blue in the face. "Lucky you."
Snapping out of it, Byron throws his explosive hammer towards Odin. The captain ducks, but the hammer slams against the wall, causing an explosion behind the captain that pushes him forward. At this time,
Hokori quickly performs another taker over of his. He appears as the same height as he held a double edged sword in his right hand. He wore a red robe that went down to his ankles and back boots. His takeover finished with a black mask covering his face.
He began to swing his sword in a rhythmic fashion as Odin did his best to stay away from the blades. Off balance, Odin stumbled backwards, giving Hokori an opening. "Mine." The take over mage says as he slashes a diagonal strike right against Odin's chest, cutting a deep wound right into his chest. The captain quickly falls to his back as he held his chest to try and stop the bleeding. He tried to get up, but fell to his back once again.
"Don't worry old guy. The pain will stop soon." Hokori smirks as he once again reverts to his own form. He then looks at Byron and then nods. Byron nods back, and then picks up his explosive hammer. He then began to walk around the room and slam his hammer against the walls. No explosion happened yet, but with each hit against the wall, Byron's hammer left a magic seal. He finally finished his lap around the room as he and Hokori walk out of the wing. Seconds later, the magic seals begin to glow. They then all explode simultaneously, completely destroying the room with Odin inside...

Siegrain goes crashing through a wall inside the council building. He lays down face first as he pants heavily. He tries to make his way to his feet, but Daityas helps him instead by grabbing the back of his collar and forcing him upward. The demon slayer doesn't say a word, just grins, and then headbutts the magic council leader. Siegrain's head snaps backwards, but then his body quickly glows a golden aura as he slams one back. It was the fact that he caught Daityas off guard that made the demon slayer release him and grab his head. "Gotta little fight in you huh?" Daityas asked as he looked upon the heavily damaged Siegrain. Daityas then fires off a random wave of Hells Flames. Siegrain quickly counters with a wave of Heavenly body magic. The two waves meet in the middle for a violent stalemate, breaking the room apart as the walls around them begin to come undone. The building was falling apart. Daityas looks around with a grin. "Seems everyone is done. You're the last one I'm sure."
Siegrain bares his teeth as he quickly gets into a stance. "Serma!"
"Not so fast!" Daityas quickly rushes the bluenetter before he could get the attack off, shoving a Hell's Flames infused fist into his gut. As Daityas followed through, Siegrain slams through the ceiling against his will. Daityas quickly follows him, entering the council meeting room, where the magic circle that used to hold the council members once stood. "You don't know what you're doing..." Siegrain says as he struggles to his feet once again.
"I'm breaking apart your precious building." Daityas says as he smirks. "You brought this on yourself kid. I freed you from Jellal's mind, and you repay me by betraying Tartaros out of all people? No sir. Burn in hells flames." Siegrain gives out a yell as he gives one last effort, rushing towards Daityas in his meteor state. He swings a right fist but Daityas sways away from it and simultaneously grabs him by the throat. Siegrain tries to pull out of the mage's grip but to no avail. "I wonder how far of a drop that whole is." Daityas says as he looks over at the hole where the council magic seal used to be. He then turns back to Siegrain with a toothy smile, and slams a right fist repeatedly into Seigrain's head. He was passed out on the second hit, but Daityas was now just getting shots in to release his anger at the wizard saint. Daityas then begins walking towards the giant hole, and tosses Siegrain in. He watches his near lifeless body fall into the pitch black, and then walked away. Before he left the room, Daityas snapped his fingers, and from the hole, a massive uproar of hells flames shot out and through the ceiling. Not a single sound was heard from Siegrain as Daityas leaves the room and took a right, entering another room. "Now, one more thing before leaving."

He gripped the dirt as he came too. He was the last one to. Everyone else stood around, waiting. Broken and bruised, all of Fairy Tail sat around with glum and angered faces. Laxus was gravely injured, Natsu was still bleeding from the mouth, not bothering to wipe it. Wendy was cut up from her own technique. Erza was still trying to get her joints to catch back up with her current age. Gajeel was sitting down, being tended to by Pantherlily and a teary eyed Levy, who just gave up and hugged him. Juvia began weeping as she stared at the scolding marks on her body. Gray did his best to comfort her as he winced from his own damages. They all stood around, waiting on Elfman to awaken. Mirajane and Makarov began to do a body count, yet they were interrupted by a loud yell of frustration from none other than Natsu himself. "WE CANT JUST STAND HERE!" He yelled out. Lucy looked up at the dragon slayer lost for words like nearly everyone else.
"They got the jump on us..." Gray says as he holds on to the small of Juvia's back as she continued crying. "But we have not a clue where to find them.."
"THATS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE!" Natsu screams out. He frantically looks around in anger. He finally picks a direction and begins running, only to be stopped by Makarov. "And where are you going!?"
"To find them! We can't let them keep doing this!" Natsu walks around the old man and gets ready to take off again, only to have Makarov's hand grab him. "Sit down Natsu."
Normally this would be the end of it all, but Natsu looked back at Makarov with an angered expression. "Let. Go."
Everyone looked on at the situation, including Mirajane as she tried to wake Elfman to his senses.
"Excuse me!? Don't you ever-"
Before Makarov could finish his sentence, Natsu covered himself in flames, burning Makarov's hand and causing him to jump back. "Natsu!" Lucy yelled out, utterly surprised at his actions.
"You listen to me Natsu! Take another step and you'll be immediately expelled from Fairy Tail! That's a promise!" Makarov stood bold on his statement as Natsu stopped walking.
"...This isn't Fairy Tail." Natsu says without turning around, causing gasps all around.
"What did you say...?" Makarov asked with an angered expression.
"Fairy Tail wouldn't wait around to be slaughtered like animals. No matter what we knew or didn't know about our opponents." He took another step forward.
"Natsu, I'm warning you!"
"Natsu stop!" Lucy yelled out.
"Don't be an idiot!" Gray added.
"The Fairy Tail I was raised in wouldn't let their guild be destroyed without retaliation. Expel me if you want Gramps. Fairy Tail doesn't let anyone run them over. Where's your fight!? We've been attacked relentlessly over the days and we've yet to do anything about it... I don't know the mages behind me..." He then turns around with the same angered expression. "But they aren't Fairy Tail!"
Everyone's face was in pure shock from his words. Makarov was the first to snap out of it as he saw Natsu begin running off. "Natsu! Last chance!"
He kept running. Makarov then cupped his hands around his mouth. "Natsu Dragneel! Here are the three rules of leaving Fairy Tail!"
"Master!" Erza yells out to the old man, but he continued.
"One, you must never reveal any sensitive information about Fairy Tail to outsiders...as long as you live!"
As Natsu ran over the horizon, a tear fell from his eye, but he carried on, out of hearing range of the mages. He finally stopped to catch his breath. He was then lifted into the air, by none other than his partner Happy, who was also tearing up as he continued on. "Happy..."
"We go everywhere together..." Happy says as he continues flying on. "Just don't talk about it, and lets beat these guys together!"
Tears fall from the he-cat as they flew on, waiting for Natsu to pick up a familiar scent.
"He really left..." Lucy says as she begins to tear up again.
"Happy too." Charla added as Wendy softly petted the top of her head.
"He wouldn't really leave Fairy Tail.." Erza says. "He's just had enough of feeling useless.."
Makarov faces away from his children. "It doesn't matter. He disobeyed me. And now he's paying for it.."
"You can't be serious old man!" Gajeel yells. Makarov then points to the dragon slayer without turning around. "Do you wanna join him?"
Gajeel growls a bit, but then slowly sits back down.
By this time, Elfman began to fully awaken, holding his head. "Elfman!" Mirajane yells as she hugs her younger brother. Elfman groans as the damaged mage hugs her, which quickly reminded him. "Lisanna!" Elfman quickly stands and looks around. He then falls to his knees once more realizing what he saw was reality. "No... They took her!"
"What!?" Mirajane quickly sprung up to look around. "Lisanna!? Lisanna!"
Everyone else began to look around as well. "They didn't..." Erza began to frantically look around as well.
Makarov stood with wide eyes. Mixed with anger and shock. "How dare they..."

"Takeru...Takeru... Get up."
Selene shakes the shadow dragon awake as everyone stood around. Groaning as well, Takeru awakens and sits up. "Shit..."
"What a drag." Jack says as he looks at his broken flask and then his bruises. Everyone was heavily damaged as they sat around.
"It felt like a dream, more like a nightmare." Cygnus says as he leans against the wall hurt.
"It was neither, it was real." Sidney says. "And Skye's been abducted."
"Skye!" Aira calls out to the mage no longer present. "But why did they take her!?"
"They have motives." Taya replied. "They're using us. And we now have no choice but to go along with what's coming?"
"What are you saying Taya?" Heather asked.
"Back when I was in Tartaros, there was this one annoying mage named Tobias. He would always talk tactics and plans. His favorite was using a hostage against a party to make them do what he wanted. Though he was annoying to even be around, he was near genius when it came to hostile like battle tactics. This is it...our final battles may be coming soon." Everyone puts on glum faces except Sidney as he tended to the wounded Calium. "Luke."
"Huh?" Luke looked over at the Ace who called him.
"Those two mages.."
Luke swallowed and averted his eyes to the ground.
"My parents..."
"They talked about Tartaros castle. I guess that's where we have to head to." Heather says.
"And you will.." Calium coughs out. "As soon as we recover and find out where to find it.
"We don't have time for that! Skye is missing!" Nami yells.
"Lower your voice towards me." Calium says as he finally stands.
"Sorry, Master.."
Before anyone could say anything else, a giant lacrima screen appears over Magnolia. Behind the screen was the face of the Hells Flame Demon Slayer himself Daityas, standing in a collapsing council building. The screen was big enough to be seen by exactly who he wanted to see it. "Greetings morons who oppose the inevitable. It is I, the leader of the dark guild Tartaros, Daityas. If you look behind me, you'll see a collapsing council headquarters. They are no longer in service. Whoops. Yes we did that. No one inside was spared. Oh and to Fairy Tail and White Eclipse, it seems we've taken a mage from each of your guilds. They won't last long. But I tell ya what. If you can beat us, you can have them back. How's that sound? Now I know you've been asking the age old question since day one, WHERE IS TARTAROS!?" Daityas then laughed in a mocking tone. "Well if you will all now casually look to your north..." Everyone looks in that direction as a rumbling begins, the quake was strong enough to knock a few off their feet as a giant castle about the size of a big city appears in the distance. The height of the castle touched the clouds themselves.
"Now I don't mean to make it hard on you, but I didn't build this beauty okay? Anyways. I really should wrap this up. We'll see you mages at Tartaros Castle okay? You can't miss it, and if you do just follow the big ass tower in the middle of Fiore. Over and out." He laughs once again as the transmission ends.
"They're inviting us in!?" Erza asked.
"We have no choice! I'm going!" Elfman says.
"Same here." Mirajane added.
"We need to split into teams." Makarov adds.
"One will attack Tartaros and save Lisanna. The rest of us will head to Magnolia. I feel like they aren't done there."

"So we all in agreement?" Calium asked as the scene switches back to White Eclipse.
"Yeah!" The guild yelled in unison.
"You sure you're gonna be okay without me?" Sidney asked Calium. The old man smiled. "You're not my keeper Sidney, go save the one who needs saving."
Sidney nodded, and then turned to the guild members. "You know the drill, two teams. Ones attacking and one is here for protection.

"Happy!"
"Max Speed!" The duo flew towards the rising castle full speed.

"This is it...

It's time to finish this..." Natsu says to himself as they fly at max speed to the castle.

"This is it.." Daityas says with excitement on his face.

"And we're just getting started.
