The smug Duke Cream walked before a sealed sarcophagus.

"Open,"

The sarcophagus opened revealing the other half of the Phoenix stone. Duke Cream chuckled smugly.

"With this I will be the new ruler of the world,"

Eclair, being escorted to her execution, as she remembers herself wandering alone for years, the ghost of her people following her as she did. Their screams and cries echoed through her mind. It was then images of the priest she knew and his words echoed through her mind.

"You must not die, Eclair."

Eclair looked up and saw the statue of the phoenix that stood in the center of the capital. She then grew a small smile "So that's it," The guard being impatient pushed her to keep going. "So that's what it means, this is my. I've finally returned,"

"Everything is finally happening," Duke Cream smiled smugly.

…

Outside near the main gate, a group of guards were having a conversation, it was then one of the guards saw someone coming in the distance.

"Hey who are you, the city's close," the guard shouted, the man's eyes then widen seeing that the incoming person was Gray.

"WE'RE FAIRY TAIL!" Gray shouted.

ICE MAKE BATTERING RAM

Gray created a giant ice battering ram and used it to break down the gate knocking out a few guards as well. It was then Gajeel jumped in and took a deep breath.

IRON DRAGON ROAR

Gajeel fired his breath attack at the guards knocking them all out, he smirked "Take that you bastards," it was then the rest of the squad ran into each one of them knocking out guards on their way.

Erza who was running from the back gave out the order "Once we're inside focus on rescuing Eclair,"

"YES MA'AM!" the squad shouted.

The squad blasted through the city eliminating the guards sending them flying with little effort.

Duke Cream saw the chaos from the distance, one of his guards ran up to him "My lord,"

"Don't mind it, Dyst and his men will handle it," Cream smirked.

The Fairy Tail team were then greeted by some Carbuncle wizards, but they were defeated instantly.

"What the hell,"

"No one told us they were this strong,"

"Stand back men, I will handle them," The Coordinator stepped in.

"It's the Great Coordinator, she'll defeat them,"

"We're saved,"

Erza's eyes narrowed at the Coordinator.

The Coordinator requipped a sword "I will make Titiana kneel as I did She-Devil Mirajjane,"

Erza quickly formed a Rasengan in her hand and charged at the Coordinator. It was then to the Coordinator's shock, Erza instantly appeared in front of her.

"WHAT THE!" Coordinator shouted.

RASENGAN

Erza thrust her attack directly into the Coordinator sending the mage flying into a building and knocking her out instantly.

"Nice job Erza," Gray smirked.

"Yeah you got her," Wendy smiled.

"Don't celebrate yet there's still more to come," Erza's eyes narrowed as more Carbuncle mages surrounded them.

"SCATTER!"

It was then the entire group all went off in different directions.

"AFTER THEM!"

Erza dashed through the city, and it was then she felt someone charging towards, and not to her surprise it was Ryuji. Ryuji clawed at her with his metal claws but she blocked them with her Katana.

"Yo Titiana," Ryuji smirked.

Erza's eyes narrowed "You,"

"Why don't we finish where we left off," Ryuji gestured.

Erza smirked "I was going to say the same thing," she then requiped into her Flame Empress Armor "Come,"

"A battle between Jinchurki," Ryuji smirked "This is going to be fun,"

…

Gray and Juvia ran through the city only to be confronted by Canon.

"Oh great this guy," Gray snarled.

"Him," Juvia's eyes narrowed.

"Yo, Ikemen-kun," Canon licked his lips. "Lets Go," he began to fire his giant gun at the two, Gray and Juvia dodged the bullets.

ICE MAKE LANCE

WATER SLICER

…

Gajeel signed "Seriously why did I get stuck in the sewer,"

"You will fall here Fairy Tail," Chase emerged from the shadows.

"Oh you think you're tough huh, well show me what you got," Gajeel cracked his knuckles.

Chase then threw dozens of kunai, but Gajeel signed and brushed it off and ate some of it "Seriously knives you're funny,"

…

Lucy, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Lilly ran through the city, only to be then surrounded by more Carbuncle guards.

Lilly signed "Thought we'd be able if we passed through as two girls and their cats," he then grew into his battle mode "Guess we have to fight,"

"I'll fight too," Wendy declared "I need to fight for everyone's sake,"

Lilly smirked "Me and Wendy will hold off,"

"Lucy-san, Happy-san, and Carla can go rescue Eclair-san," Wendy said.

Lucy and the Exceeds nodded.

"We leave it to you two," Lucy ran off.

"Be careful Wendy," Carla told her partner.

"Good luck," Happy flew off after them.

Eclair who was now chained to a pole was struggling to break free of her chains "Damn it,"

Lucy, Happy, Carla, and Momon ran through the city only to once again be stopped by soldiers of Veronica and some Carbuncle mages. Lucy then took out one of her golden keyes.

VIRGO

"Yesa Princess," Virgo appeared.

"Virgo take care of those men," Lucy ordered.

"As you wish," Virgo then dug through the ground, and then suddenly all the opposing guards and mages fell through a giant hole. "It is done,"

"Thank you," Lucy continued to run through the city.

…

KATON ENDAN

Ryuji backflipped and fired a large bullet of fire at Erza, but Erza using her Flame Empress Armor and Sea Empress sword simply cut through the attack, destroying it ease.

"Oh," Ryuji smirked "How about this,"

KATON HOMURANAGASE

Ryuji once again fired a myriad of medium size fireballs at Erza, and once again she blocked them with ease. Erza then charged at him and slashed at him with her sword but he blocked with his claws. Erza though clearly had the advantage as she easily overpowered the man forcing him back.

Erza then requiped into her Heaven's Wheel Armor and fired several swords at him, Ryuji smirked and dodged the blades gracefully, but then to his shock some of the swords transformed into clones of Erza.

"Clone, and Transformation," Ryuji uttered, but he was then attacked directly by all the clones knocking him to the ground.

"Had enough," Erza looked down on him.

Ryuji smirked "not even close,"

He then jumped at Erza, and clawed at her again, but she jumped back narrowingly dodging the attack. She once again slashed at him with her Benizakura, Ryuji blocked the attack and twirled around her, and he struck her in the back.

Erza glared at the man she then requipped into her Purgatory Armor and she tried to slam him to the ground with her mace, but he dodged with grace.

"Come on nee-san, is that all you got," Ryuji mocked.

Erza's eyes narrowed at her fellow Jinchuriki "he's so fast and agile how am I supposed to hit him,"

"Just focus, use your instincts," Kurama told her.

"Easier said than done," Erza blocked another strike "he's too nimble," Ryuji once again jumped off a wall charging at Erza, and he managed to land a hit on Erza.

Erza once again shouted in frustration, but she calmed down and took a breath. "Focus getting wild up is not getting help me win, just breath and focus," Erza observed Ryuji's movements, and she had a realization, and she smirked in confidence.

Erza then took a relaxed stance, and Ryuji smirked "Oh I see you've given up already, good that's mean I'm stronger,"

"Ryuji! Wait, something is wrong!" Matatabi warned, but they were ignored as Ryuji charged in head on.

"YOU'RE MINE!" Ryuji dived at Erza about to claw her again, but then to his shock Erza dodged the attack and punched him straight into a building.

"What the hell?" Ryuji brushed the rumble off himself, but he regained composure "Lucky hit," he once again charged at her with high speeds but once again Erza countered him. "How the hell are you doing this,"

Erza smirked "You may be fast and agile, but your movements are too predictable. Only reason I couldn't get you the first time was cause I was overthinking, now let's finish this,"

Ryuji smirked "fine, let's finish what we started in Magnolia, Dyst isn't here to stop me this time," Ryuji's power then started to rise, and Erza went wide eyed, she saw Ryuji's body go into a Tailed Beast State.

"What the hell," Erza said shocked.

"As I thought" Kurama's eyes narrowed.

Ryuji's body was a now glowing dark red color, his form now representing that of a cat with two flaming tails

"Matatabi," Kurama said.

Erza's eyes narrowed "So thats the Two-Tails' power,"

"What the hell is that," Gray shouted, feeling the strong prescenes, as he and Juvia stood over the defeated Cannon.

"This power," Juvia said.

"It's crazy huge," Gray shook.

"Hmm, looks like it's getting crazy up there," Gajeel's eyes narrowed as he held Chase to a wall.

"What is that power," Lilly said.

"It's so strong," Wendy shivered.

Mira stomped onto the Coordinator "Erza,"

A hooded figure watched from a far building and looked towards the strong chakra, his eyes narrowing.

Dyst's eyes narrowed "That fool is going all out again is he?"

"NOW LET'S GO KYUUBI!" Ryuji tackled Erza, sending them both through buildings.

"GAH!" Erza coughed blood as they crashed into a wall.

"Erza be careful he's using the Tailed Beast State, he's more powerful than before," Kurama warned.

"You don't say," Erza retorted.

"Use my power, it should help you keep up," Kurama gave her his chakra.

Erza took a breath, and her body was engulfed in Kurama's chakra. She then glared at Ryuji

"Alright cat boy lets go,"

Hey sorry for the long wait took me a while to get an inspiration. I am also sorry that the chapter is not as long as I intended, but I felt this is good end point to transition into the next chapter which might in all likelihood take a long time. So I am sorry please review and I will try to write and deal with my personal issues. Thank you for reading.
