7 Years Later

The clocks ringing echoed throughout the world, scaring everyone who could hear it. It's dark magic power pulsed through the ether, horrifying all who feel it. "Just as planned." Brain II smirked before nodding. Salamander held out his hand and a sound wave tore the stone wall in front of them. The six dark wizard walked forward, surprising both guild wizards and the church trio.

"It's the Oracion Seis." Lucy said.

"And it looks like they've been busy." Gray added before glancing at Erza.

"It... can't be..." Erza mumbled, staring at Huntress and Bugeisha.

The kimono clad girl giggled a bit before speaking. "Oh, times have changed. We are the new and improved. Neo Oración Seis."

"Neo Oración Seis?" Erik asked. "Couldn't think of anything more original?"

"We are not the same people you last meet seven years ago." Brain II said, twirling a strand of hair. "For instance, I am now Brain the second."

"What are you even doing here?" Erik asked. "What do you want?"

"I have but one wish; to make my father's wish a reality." The leader declared. "And that wish is to destroy everything in this world."

"I see you're the same as ever." Erza said, having recovered from the surprise.

The man chuckled before the six raised their hands. "I'm afraid your services are no longer needed." The clock glowed in a green aura before their symbol appeared on it. Two armor clad men charged the group before Macbeth waved his hand. A combination of Reflector and Darkness magic hit both and took them out.

"You may not know this but once the Infinity Clock bears the mark of a wizard, it belongs to then." Brain said before appearing on it. "Which means that since it now bears our seal, the Clock belongs to us."

It rang again and again as Lucy shouted about the 'unfairness' of the situation. "I can hear their growing anger. It is building." Salamander said blankly.

"Ain't that a laugh?" Racer chuckled.

"Those of darkness like us cannot touch the Infinity Clock, so we had you gather the pieces for us." Huntress said.

Salamander had his ears twitch picking the guild wizards noticing their magic power. Erik unleashed a breath of poison at the group only for Bugeisha to jump and slice the stream in half, sending the two streams wayward towards the others. "Sor-" He started before the girl kicked him back.

"Brain, we must leave now." Salamander said.

"He's right, we have an appointment to keep." Angel added.

"I know. But there is another matter at hand." Brain said. "These fools humiliated us seven years ago. It's only fair to return the favor. Salamander, Racer have some fun. Huntress, cover them."

The two males jumped down as the red head drew an arrow. Erza, Gray and Erik charged them as Huntress took aim, her bow angled low. "Fire Arrow: Blast!" The arrow flew through the air before Erza jumped out of the way. Before she could react, the arrow began glowing before it exploded into an inferno ripping out of the ground.

Racer blindingly jumped back between Erik and Gray before both were sent flying back. "What the hell is with this magic?" The Ice Wizard asked only to watch the blonde take out Juvia and Lyon.

"It's like fighting a wild animal hunting its prey." Erza added before another arrow flew at her. She ducked it and expected to hear it hit the ground, only nothing came. She turned around and saw the shaft curve before it came after her again.

"You are the Neried, Wendy Marvell." The bluenette and her cat turned around to see Salamander behind them. "You are a healer, and thus the first target to take out." Magic started wafting off him as the two girls were frozen in fear.

"Stay away from them!" Erik shouted, coating his fist in poison.

Natsu stood his ground and absorbed the sound before raising his hand. "Be gone." He snapped his fingers and a sound bomb destroyed the ground under him, taking out a series of the guild wizards. "Your voice will be your undoing."

Angel just sighed as Dan tried to flirt with her. She grabbed his shoulder and easily threw him all the way off the ledge, making him groan in pain. "This isn't even fun anymore." Angel said as the others returned to her side.

"We should be going now. Angel." Brain said as the girl reached into her pocket.

"As you wish. Cost Thirty." Three coins started glowing before they floated out of her hand. "You will see the full power of an angel with her magic. My enemies willingly kill themselves due to my magic. Come forth and Herald our victory, Barakiel!" A bright light filled the cave as a three faced angel appeared, creating an explosion that covered everything.


Magic Council Fiore Branch

"Chief Marshall of the 4th Custody Enforcement Division, reporting." Lahar said to the council. "I'm afraid the rumors are correct. Four members of the Oración Seis have escaped custody. Salamander, Angel, Racer and Midnight were replaced by exquisite puppets made from magic. It was unlike any breach we had ever seen."

"Do we have any leads as to who is responsible for assisting them?" Org asked.

"Only one person visited them over seven years." Lahar replied. "A priest from the grand cathedral of Zentopia. He stopped by to hear their confessions and repent them for their sins."

"Who is this priest?" Gran Doma asked.

"I don't know sir." Lahar replied. "There is no record of him, and all lacrima in the prison were replaced last week. The time of his visits were sent for disposal."

"We must retrieve those lacrimas at once." The chairman declared.

"Should we discuss with Zentopia?" Org asked.

"I'll make my way there at once." Lahar said before bowing and leaving the chamber.


Blue Pegasus Guildhall

The battered and beaten guild members sat down as only Erza stood up. Lucy had gone after Michelle as Bob and Ichiya left. "Okay, I'm just going say it." Erza spoke up, making everyone turn to her. "That was my Edolas self; Knightwalker."

"How'd she even get here?" Happy asked. "I thought the anima was closed off for good."

"More importantly, I thought the Anima only affected those with magic power inside them like Exceeds." Carla added. "How did she even get pulled into it? And why is she working with the Oración Seis?"

"I don't know... but I intend to find out." Erza said. "And then I plan to find a way to send her back to her home, for good."

The entire group nodded as if to say 'I'll help you do this' when Lucy and Michelle walked in, a look of determination in the blondes face. "Where is that book?"


With The Oración Seis

"Now that the Infinity Clock is in our possession, the amplitude limiters will be released soon." Brain 2 told the others. "All we need to do is destroy a few more churches and we're done."

"Destruction, carnage, blood." Racer said laughing like crazy.

"The end is coming." Salamander said. "We just need one more piece, and our goal is complete."

"I can only imagine the chaos we're going to unleash." Bugeisha chuckled.

"The Clock still lacks a key component." Brain 2 reminded the others. "To use its great power, we must pay that price. We have all sacrificed much to get to this point. We cannot fail now. Go forth! Move the hands of time, and bring this world to an end!" The five others nodded before the Vectors under their feet glowed and sent them towards their objectives.

The five landed on a rocky hill near a large town. "I can hear it." Salamander whispered. "Four churches are in this town. The priests have left the area, but the guards are still unaware of our objective."

"Then we strike at once." Huntress said, drawing an arrow from her quiver.

"Carnage... destruction!" Racer shouted before laughing.

"We should stop talking and get to work." Angel said. "I'd rather have as much fun as we had yesterday."

"I suppose that was enjoyable, seeing the look on Scarlets face." Bugeisha chuckled.

"Enough talking." Salamander blankly before walking towards the city. Huntress fired her arrow and the church behind them exploded before more arrows punctured the guards necks. Bugeisha raced forward and began slicing at the survivors as Racer kicked them around.

"Cost Twenty - Gabriel!" Angel threw two coins to the ground and a hammer wielding angel appeared. Without a second of delay, the golden hammer slammed to the ground, erupting in fire. Salamander calmly walked through the carnage and began listening.

"Concealment magic won't work." He snapped his neck and the church crumbled to the ground. "Our job is complete. And the Anti-Link?"

"Taken care of by Huntress." Angel reported. "Shall we continue our mission?" Salamander nodded and walked past her. She reached out and grabbed his hand. "When this is done, we can finally be together again." He simply stared at her before continuing to walk away, her heart breaking with every step.

Explosions rocked the church remains as the surviving guards surrounded two of the Seis. "Hold your ground! Return fire!" A captain ordered before arrow flew at Huntress and Bugeisha. Racer was a blur and snatched them out of the air.

"Let me show you how it's done." Huntress aimed and quickly fired three arrows off. The knights raised their shields to block, only for the arrows to vanish from sight. From behind the arrows reappeared and flew into the back of their necks and killed them.

"I can't let you have all the fun." Ikaruga chuckled before drawing her blade. Spinning around as flames rolled off the girl, the inferno burned the guards to husks before the church behind them exploded.

"It's done." Salamander said, his ears twitching. "All vessels in this area of the country are silenced."

"Time is running out very quickly for the world." Angel added. "And we will do whatever we can to speed that up."

"Then we split up from here." He replied as the other three approached the two. "You all know where to go. We cannot fail Brain; find your targets and eliminate them."


Unknown Plain

Bugeisha chuckled as she stared at Erik, Elfman and Lucy while Byro watched from a cliff. "So this is the team that is supposed to defeat me? I'm rather unimpressed."

"Get ready to eat those words!" Erik shouted as he and Elfman charged, magic at the ready. Ikaruga merely drew her blade and a wave of fire hit both, sending them to the ground.

"Let me show you the difference in our power. Shōkyaku Suraisu!" Her blade caught on fire and she charged them. Elfman was the first up only to get hit with her blade. It didn't kill him but it burned his clothes before she kicked him away. Erik tried to punch her from behind, only for her to jump over and slice his back.

"It's amazing what a little inspiration and a lot of training can do." She chuckled, slowly sheathing her blade. It clicked into the hilt and energy waves surrounded the two before they fell to the ground. Lucy summoned Cancer and the spirit charged her in a slash of 'blades'. "Now this is insulting."

"My scissors are as sharp as any blade, baby." The spirit said.

"Let's test that claim." She chuckled before pushing him back. Her sword regained its flames as Elfman and Erik charged again. "Ennetsu Jigoku!" With one swing, pillars of fire erupted around the three and they screamed in pain before Cancer returned to the spirit world.

"I don't get it." Lucy mumbled. "Cana said this was the best team for the mission. But these two can't get anywhere close to her. And how can she see with that heavy cloth on her face?"

"Enough of this. Poison Dragon Roar!" Erik unleashed a torrent of poison at her as Elfman tore a tree out and threw it at her.

Bugeisha merely chuckled as she sheathed her blade and drew it again. The roar turned to dust and the tree was little more than splinters when she sheathed it. Rain started falling and Lucy pulled out a second key, summoning a mermaid. Instead of attacking Ikaruga, the spirit berated the blonde before firing off a stream of water.

"Tenchi Kaijin!" Ikaruga ignited the tip of her sword before fire shot off, meeting the water and creating a large amount of steam. Erik and Elfman ran forward only for the steam to be sliced and the two of them sent flying into Aquarius.

The three started arguing as the spirit hit them on the head with her urn. "This is just getting embarrassing." Erik complained.


Unknown Field

Salamander's ears twitch at the sound of arguing from miles away. He ignored it, as one would, before a sword flew past him. Three people surrounded him, but only one he recognized. A sound wave pushed the two unknown to the ground as only Erza remained standing. "Stand down! I'll handle this! His magic allows him to hear our thoughts."

Natsu remained unphased at her deceleration as he listened to her armor clanked into place. "I hope he isn't sifting between anything private!" The woman in glasses shouted.

"I have no interest in anything like that." He blankly declared before snapping his fingers. Another sound-wave tore the ground up, only for the dust to settle and show a giant shield. Erza glowed and entered another outfit, this one red and black and armed with a sword.

"You plan to use that armor to weaken my fire magic and kill me." Salamander said before Erza charged him. She swung her blade and he dodged them before delivering a palm strike to hit her stomach. The sound shattered the armor and sent her rolling along the ground before she came to a stop and his ears picked up her plan. "Do you truly think you can repeat what your friend did?"

Erza glowed before entering another armor, this one a purple and armed with a spear. He dodged the spear and kicked her away. "For seven years, we've been planning this. We've all given up something. And you can't stop us." Sound blasted the three back before even Erza rolled along the ground.

Evergreen raised her hand and glowing rods flew at Salamander, who effortless dodged them before grabbing the girl. He slammed her to the ground before kicking her into a tree. Erza her red blade at the one-eyed man, who jumped over it before landing on it and kicking her in the face. Growling in anger, the red head tried grab him only for flames to waft of his feet and she was sent flying back.

"Sand Slash!" Max swung his arm and a blade of sand flew at Natsu. He merely raised his hand and ignited it, turning the sand to a glass blade before he stabbed backwards. Max groaned before he turned into sand and popped up. "Get him, Erza!"

Erza charged and tried to stab him, only for Salamander to blast them back with a sound wave. "Die." He said from behind the red head only for Max to take the hit for her. "I've spent enough time on you both." He pulled out a small crystal dagger and walked away.

A burst of fire exploded out of the woods before a red light filled the forest. Erza and the others forced themselves up and the three ran over to the light source. On the ground in front of them was a squad of Rune Knights on the ground and a man in comatose like state inside a red crystal.


Unknown Cave

Angel stared down at the two men from Fairy Tail and chuckled before her face sank as Dan tried to flirt with her. "I threw you off a cliff. Can't you take a hint?" She kicked him away before pulling out four coins. "Cost Forty - Cherubim." A four winged, eye covered angel with the head of a man, bull, eagle, and lion rose out of the light. "Deal with them, will you?"

It roared at trio before the human head was pushed down and the lions head grabbed Dan before throwing him to the side. Freed and Gray fired their magic at it, only for a pink cloud to block them. "Now, now, I can't forget about my other spirits." She chuckled as Aries nervously stood behind her. The angel roared before the eyes on the wings shot out energy and forced the two back.

Freed swung his sword and Runes flew at the angel only for the bull head to roar. The spell shattered as Gray jumped from behind and summoned a frozen sword. He swung his blade and the eyes all shifted to him. The wings flapped and pushed him back, sending him crashing into wall. Freed transformed into his Absolute Shadow form and flew at the monstrous creature before pulling his fist back.

A blast of energy hit his chest, forcing him to look up at Caleum in its cannon form. Gray sent an Ice Saucer at the creature only for the eyes to glow and filled the room with lasers. They hit the two wizards and they cried in pain before the light show ended. The two laid on the ground as the angel carried over the wizard in its jaw. "Excellent work." Angel chuckled as she pulled out a red dagger. "Time for the Anti-Link. This might hurt a bit."

The wizard cried out in protest as the dagger started glowing. With one swing she severed his link, trapping him in a red crystal. "That only leaves two more wizards. Then our prayers will be answered and everything will go back to normal." She placed her hand over her heart before sending the angel and spirit away. Gray tried to force himself up, only for his body to give out.


Unknown Mountain

Huntress stared down at the masked man and the little girl who appeared in front of her. "I don't care who you are or how you found me, nor do I care. All I know is that you two will not survive." She pointed her bow at the sky and fired a volley of arrows. "Lightning Arrow - Rain!"

The two couldn't dodge fast enough as lightning struck them. Wendy enhanced the two and took off at the two. "We're Fairy Tail wizards and we're gonna kick your butt!" Bickslow shouted.

Huntress pulled out another two arrows and quickly fired them off. "Storm Arrow! Bomb Arrow!" A tornado of fire shot at two and sent them crashing into a rock. "It seems Brain was wrong to be worried. You two were nothing but talk." She drew another arrow and fired it. "Fire Arrow - Burst!"

Wendy ran out and unleashed a stream of water from her mouth. The two hit and they erupted into steam, blinding both sides. Green glows caught Huntress' attention as totems started spinning around her. Bickslow created a magic seal and the dolls fired off an energy beam.

Huntress merely braced herself behind her spear and stabbed into it before the four tips split apart, splitting the beam apart before one fired from her. The energy tore through the beam and hit Bickslow, sending him into a rock. "Well, this is new. Now tell me, how do you want to die?" Wendy crawled over and started healing Bickslow. "Abandon your friend and you just might live."

She pulled her bow back and fired another Lightning Arrow, shocking Wendy back. "Don't you know how useless your fight is? None can stop us from completing our goal." Her eyes watched as the little girl crawled back and continued to heal her friend. "What are you doing? Why not save your own life?"

"Maybe, but I refuse to leave a friend behind!" Water surround her and a small stream hit Huntress in the forehead.

A group of shadows stood in front a castle before it vanished from her. "Who was that? What did you do to me!? Tell me!" She shouted, grabbing her head. Wendy pushed Bickslow up and the two stared in confusion.

"Whatever you did to her, it's working." The masked man said, looking through his magic eyes. "Her memories are trying to come to the surface, but something is blocking them. It's like her mind is tearing itself apart."

"I have to help her." She replied, shocking Bickslow. "It doesn't matter who she is. No one deserves to have their mind messed with like this."

"Leave me alone!" Huntress shouted before letting two more arrows loose from her bow. The two shafts spun around each other as Wendy unleashed a healing/roar combo. The water pushed the arrows back and they hit the rock under Huntress, resulting in an explosion of fire and lightning that hit Huntress.

Water rose around the red head before she looked at Wendy, who slammed her arms to ground. "Water Dragon Geyser!" The water shot up and Huntress cried in pain before the water stopped, leaving her in mid air.

She fell to the ground as Wendy and Bickslow raced over. "Wake up! What do people want with the Infinity Clock!? Where is it?"

Huntress reached around and grabbed an arrow before trying to stab his neck. Bickslow blocked it and head-butted her, making Wendy push him aside and start healing her. "Do you really have to be so rough with her? She just got her memories back."

"No, I didn't." Huntress replied. "And even if I did, why would I tell you anything? Just because you helped me?"

"Isn't there anything you can tell us?" Wendy asked.

"Can, yes. Will, no." The red head replied. "Now just call the knights and bring me to jail. I'll not dishonor the Neo Oración Seis by revealing our plans."


With Erik's Group

Erik growled as he, Elfman and Loke stared at Bugeisha with anger in his eyes. "This is really annoying."

"Could Cana have been wrong with her predictions?" Lucy asked.

"She's never been wrong before. And she's not gonna start now." He replied before the three charged. Lucy looked on in concren as Michelle just stared at the ground. Erik jumped up to punch his opponent, only for the girl to jump over and kick him to the ground.

"I'm sorry to say but this fight is over. I have things to do." Bugeisha turned and raced over to the church before raising her sword. "This is where you die." A fire rolled off her sword before it pooled into a large orb. With one swing she sent the ball flying at the building, creating an explosion.

"How dare you!" Byro ran over and raised his staff at the girl. Ikaruga ignored him and charged into the church before swinging a red dagger. The man cried in pain before glowing as a red crystal enveloped him.

"What did you do?" Byro demanded.

"Nothing that concerns you." Bugeisha replied, walking past him. "Now just follow the cardinals orders like the lapdog you are." Erik roared as he jumped to punch her. Ikaruga raised her sword to counter with a spell, only to change plans and block with the guard. "What happened to my spell?"

"You will pay dearly for your sinful actions!" Byro declared, his staff glowing.

Erik then grabbed the swordswoman and kneed her in the stomach. The samurai girl started coughing as bags appeared under her eyes. "It's about time you started feeling the effects of my magic." With one final fist, she crashed into a rock and groaned in pain as Erik panted in success. Thunder roared across the sky as a series of strange anchors shot down and dug into the ground. "What now!?" Erik shouted in annoyance.

"It seems the Infinity Clock has been activated." Byro said. "But that does not concern me. My orders are to bring you to Cardinal Lapointe, Lucy Heartfilia."

"Why now!?" The blonde asked.

"I don't understand it myself, but I must follow orders." He replied.

"I'm not going anywhere!" Lucy shouted back. A thud from behind caught her attention as Erik fell over, Michelle standing over him. "...Michelle?" The girl shed a single tear before her body glowed and she turned into Imitatia.

"My name is Imitatia, the Mistress of Deception." She said before summoning a shield and sword. Without a second, she slammed the pommel into Lucy's stomach and knocked her out. "Byro, did you forget the orders Lapointe gave you? Take Lucy and deliver her to him at once."

"You are in no position to order me around! My loyalty is to the church of-" A golden seal cut him off as it collided with his face. "That's-"

"The golden seal of the Archbishop." Imitatia said, helping Bugeisha up. "From now on, his orders and mine are the same." Reluctantly, Byro bowed and picked up Lucy.

"So, are we going to kill him now?" The swordswoman asked, looking down at Erik.

"No, I have a feeling he'll make an excellent hostage." The doll replied. "But where did the third one get to?"

"We've got trouble." Elfman mumbled into a card from behind a rock.


Two hundred reviews, thank you guys. I know this story started kinda rough, but I thank you guys for sticking with me.

Sorry for the long wait, but I figured it needed the time since most of this stuff focused on Fairy Tail instead of the Seis. Plus, life got busy and that slowed both me and my beta reader down. On the plus side, I skipped over most of the emotional crap from the Fairy Tail group this way. See you guys next time, whenever that may be. Hopefully not this long.
