Hey, guys, and welcome to the next chapter of a fairy tail retold; I hope you've had a wonderful holiday season, and I wish you guys the best of luck for the new year with that out of the way, as always, don't forget to R&R now let's get the story started.
Last time in a fairy tail re-told
Natsu: Erza was able to beat Evergreen and save the girls from Laxus
Lucy: but then Laxus took the whole town hostage by using his thunder palace
Natsu: man, why do we even have something like that
Lucy: beats me
Loke smashed his way through the group of dolls as the pieces fell to the floor Bickslow let out a loud laugh "how many times do I have to tell you" he said, "you can't harm my souls, destroy their bodies, and I just move them" Bickslow let out a wicked Grin "that means I get new babies" he shouted as he summoned more dolls
before the group could reach Lucy, Loke smashed them again, "send all the dolls you want," he told Bickslow, "I won't let them hurt her."
"wow," Happy said," he smashed them with a golden Lion."
"Come on, Happy," Lucy cried as the cat picked her as dragged her over to where Bickslow was. She attempted to hit him with her whip, but he jumped out of the way.
"your feisty one, aren't ya, cheerleader" Bickslow teased.
"I am not a cheerleader," Lucy cried.
"Lucy, you can do this," Leo called out, "you're far stronger than him."
"Hey, take that back," Bickslow cried only to be hit on the head with Lucy's whip "damn it, looks like it's time for the big guns" Bickslow then cracked his neck as he took off his mask, revealing his blue and black hair which was shaped like a mohawk, and he opened his eyes which flashed green in color
the she-devil: Mirajane
"{Figure eye,}" Bickslow said as a green aura surrounded him as he laughed.
"don't look," Happy informed Loke and Lucy "each one of the thunder legions has special abilities with their eyes," Happy said, "Evergreen can turn you to stone with her's, but if you look at Bickslow, he'll turn you into one his creepy dolls, he'll control you soul" Happy informed the pair.
"really," Loke asked.
"Well, aren't you smart," Bickslow said before his dolls started attacking the group again, "come on, you won't even give me a look," Bickslow said, "not fair."
"Lucy close my gate and hide in Horologium for a while," Loke said
"I would, but I lost my keyes," Lucy told Loke. "I know you can help, so just do it already."
Lucy and Loke were now standing back to back as Loke smiled "all right on my queue, you're going to have to open your eyes."
"what," Lucy asked, "but I thought I was supposed to keep 'em closed."
"you'll just have to trust me," Loke said as Lucy smiled.
"I trust you."
[##Lucy and the power of the celestial spirits##]
Loke turned around started to glow with a golden light "oh zenith of regulas: Lion's brilliance," Loke shouted. A bright light appeared,
"aw, my eyes," Bickslow shouted as his eyes started to burn from the sudden increase of light.
"Now, Lucy," Loke called out, seeing the opportunity. Lucy then used her whip at tied it around Bickslow while keeping her eyes closed.
"No, I can't lose here," Bickslow said. "I won't lose here."
"unlike your dolls," Leo said, walking towards him, "love makes us celestial spirits stronger," he said as he gathered power, "and the closer we are to our master, the stronger we fight "{regulas: impact}" Loke blasted Bickslow with all his might sending the wizard through several buildings.
"Aww yeah," Happy called out.
"Thanks, Loke"
"I did it for this," Loke said, "loves dazzling glance," he called created a poster that read I Love Lucy, which caused the girl to blush.
"when's the wedding."
"don't hold your breath, cat."
Lucy then backed and sat down "man, I'm beat," she said
"opening two zodiac gates would take a lot from someone," Happy said as Loke gave Lucy back her keyes
"we'll be there when you need us," he said before disappearing.
"thanks"
Meanwhile, back at the pub, the board updated, showing Lucy's victory over Bickslow "aw yeah, Lucy kicked his butt," Natsu said proudly of his friend.
"No way," Gajeel said in shock," that princess can actually fight."
"Yeah," Natsu told him, "she's tough as nails."
"she's just a cheerleader," Gajeel retorted
"cheerleaders can be strong," Natsu replied
Levy smiled "way to go, Lu," she said. "I'm right there with ya, girl."
"you never heard the story of the tortoise and the cheerleader," Natsu asked him.
"it was a hair, you moron," Gajeel said, "and the dumb bunny lost."
"yeah but he one the seventy matches after that" Natsu said
"Really," Gajeel asked to which Natsu nodded "good to know that dumb vermin learned its lesson"
As the two continued their, conversation about the rabbit and the hair, Levy went back to her work "I can't figure this part at all, if only I could reword " thinking about what Gajeel and Natsu were taking, she thought of something "that's it"
"what's what," the two boys asked.
"I need to think of it like the tortoise and the hair, and compare them at two different rates," Levy went, which only confused the two more "and done," she shouted, which got both up, "just give me a second, I hope you too are ready."
"I'm all fired up," Natsu called.
"time for us to take out the trash," Gajeel said
Elfman came too to the flower shop where Evergreen defeated him; he saw Mira sitting over him, tears filling her eyes "you're okay," she said, "thank goodness" Elfman then tried to stand up "your hurt pretty bad."
"it's alright, sis," Elfman said. "I'm just glad you're alright."
"I'm sorry," Mira said
"what are you apologizing for," Elfman asked.
"I'm never able to help out," Mira said. "I'm useless now," Mira cried as Elfman shook his head.
"No one thinks your useless," he told her, trying to reassure her "your smile lifts everyone's spirits and makes us forget about this fighting crap" Mira had started crying while Elfman brought her in for a hug "it's okay, don't cry."
Juvia and Cana continued their search"Juvia, how long till the thunder palace activates."
"I'd say about thirty minutes," Juvia answered.
"damn coward," Cana said, "everyone else fights while he hides in a corner."
"Master Laxus is saving his strength," Freed called, appearing in front of the two girls "it would be foolish for him to face off against Mavis at nothing less than full strength."
" he actually thinks he can best Mavis in combat," Cana asked. Freed just frowned before disappearing, "Hey, get back here."
Cana and Juvia chased Freed to the outskirts of town, "where did he go" Cana asked before the pair stepped into an enchantment, "not this again."
"it says only the wizard who proves herself the strongest will be permitted to leave."
"The victory will then go on to fight me," Freed said, "not that you have any chance anyway."
"damn you," Cana called out, smashing her face against the enchantment, "you and the thunder legion are cowards."
"no," Freed said, "for a guild to have the stability, it must be no the weak from the strong," he said as he looked at Cana, "that means severing the meaningless bonds that you all ."
"what do you mean," Cana asked
"Look behind you," Freed said, "isn't that the same person who was once a powerful Phantom lord wizard."
"what," Juvia said
"if anything, you shouldn't at all be trusted," Freed said. "I reckon the reason they let you come here so they could keep an eye on you."
Juvia was taken back as Cana started shouting again, "take that back, Freed," she shouted.
"In that case," Juvia said as she turned her waterbody, "tell me, Mr. Freed, if one of us falls, will you lift the enchantment."
Freed nodded. "I am a man of my word."
"Good," Juvia said
[##fairy tail main theme slow ver. ost##]
"wait, Juvia, don't give in to these creeps," Cana said before she could react; Juvia shot up, bouncing off the enchantment.
"go as high as you want. You won't be able to escape," Freed told her.
"I'm not trying to escape," Juvia said as she aimed for one of the lighting Lacrima. "I will never harm a friend again."
"she wouldn't," Freed said
"Juvia get away from that," Cana screamed as Juvia smashed into the lacrima with all her might "it's done," she said before a bolt of lightning struck her, sending her crashing down. "Juvia," Cana called out as she ran to her friend around the enchantment ceased "why," Cana asked, tears filling her eyes.
"cause I want all of you to be my friends," Juvia said " this is such a fun place," Juvia said, smiling tears coming out of her eyes, "and I'm glad that I can call it home."
"Juvia," Cana cried as Juvia passed out, standing up. Cana pulled out her cards as she turned to Freed, "let's go," she shouted.
Natsu stood on top of a tower looking around "damn it," he muttered, "with all these people around, it's impossible to pick up on his sent" Levy had made him and Gajeel spilt up so they wouldn't get caught in another enchantment.
Natsu continued to look around. "I have to hurry up and find him," Natsu muttered. "I won't forget my promise to Mira," he thought. "I need to do this fast," Natsu said, remembering that day.
Flashback
Natsu sat alone in the forest. He ran, pouring down his face as he heard footsteps approaching him from behind. Looking back, Natsu's eyes widen as he saw Mira approaching him, her arm in a sling. She also had cuts from her trek through the jungle. "I'd thought you'd be here," she said with a sigh of relief.
"Mira I, " Natsu looked away, "stay away from me," he said
"No," Mira said, "I'm bringing you home."
"that place isn't my home," Natsu said, looking away "it never was. The forest is where I belong" Natsu got up to leave, but Mira was able to jump in front of him.
"No, it isn't Natsu" she recognized this place Natsu brought them here when they first meet said it was where he was raised "please, Natsu, this place isn't your home Magnolia is"
"how," Nasu said angrily, " no one ever believed me when I said Igneel raised me," Natsu said as he looked Mira in the eyes... "I wasn't raised like a normal person, Mira; as far I know, I'm the only dragon slayer left," Natsu told her, "you know how that feels."
"I do," Mira said as she gripped her arm, "but you have people who need you, Natsu," Mira said, "whatever Laxus told it to you is not true."
"he didn't tell me anything," Natsu shouted at the girl, which stopped her "he took me in cause he understood my pain better than anyone," Natsu said, "and I believed him, and I agreed with him, Natsu said
"Natsu I" Mira was at a loss for words. She couldn't say anything. Is this why he's out here? "Natsu, whatever your thinking, you're wrong," Mira said.
[##Fairy tail main theme piano ver. ost##]
"what Natsu said" as he gripped her shirt
"You have people who need you," Mira said as she pulled the boy in for a hug. "Elfman, Mavis, gramps," Mira hesitated. "Happy Lisanna and me" Natsu was now crying as she held him in her arms.
"I'm sorry," she said, "you were hurting, and I saw it, but I never tried anything," Mira said, "I thought Happy would help with that, but I was wrong."
"Mira I," Natsu hugged her back. "I just feel so alone, and I thought Laxus understood me."
"he didn't," Mira said, "not the way your family does; we want to be there for you, Natsu" Mira then leaned in and whispered in his ear, "and you're not alone, I promise no matter what, your big sister will always love you."
End Flashback
Natsu sighed as he looked into the distance. He had been gone for a month, yet in that time he was with Mira; it felt like years passed before they went home; ever since then, he told himself that he would always protect his family no matter the cost to himself even after Lisanna's death he never faltered "I hope your safe sis, I'm not running this time."
In another part of town, Gajeel stood on a tree branch. "I want to settle the score with Salamander so bad I can taste it," Gajeel said aloud, "but that lighting dolt might be a problem" Gajeel smiled "is that alright, master Ivan.
"Yes," a voice called out; he was a tall man drenched in shadows "he was an older plan of mine, one that I no longer have any use for" he then laughed, "use this as a chance to gain Mavis and Makarovs full trust."
"of course," Gajeel said, "as far as they're concerned, I'm a team player."
Mira led Elfman to the outskirts of town; she had him over her shoulder "it's alright, Mira. I'm still a man. I can walk on my own"
"it's okay," Mira said "if my baby brother needs a hand, I don't mind helping at all," Mira said. The pair ventured onward. An explosion in front of them caused them to stop.
[##Jaaku no Tsuchioto Ost##]
Cana and Freed fight were taking a toll "you seem to be forgetting a basic rule of combat," Freed said, "even the most powerful spells are worthless when they can't hit their target."
"Yeah, so," Cana shouted "{Heaven Reverse Death Mountain: summon lighting"} Green Lighting formed over the cards as she threw them at Freed.
"{Dark Écriture: Reflect}" Freed wrote an inscription in the air and sent the attack back to Cana, which destroyed the bridge in the process
Mira looked in horror as Cana fell from the bridge "Cana!"
"Your strong," Freed said, " a true testament to the training one would receive from someone like master Makarov." he shook his head "you and I may be sibling students, but I am superior"
"Freed," Cana said, barely managing to stand up "you are going to apologize to Juvia," she said. Before she could move, Freed had written an enchantment on her forehead, which caused Cana to scream in pain before falling to the ground.
"Cana," Mira cried, "what did you do to her."
Freed looked past Mira and saw Elfman. "I see, so you recovered Elfman," Freed said," since you lost to Evergreen, I will let you go."
"oh yeah," Elfman shouted, "you attack my home and expect me to just a walk away," he said as he jumped freed, who only slashed him with his sword.
"[Dark Écriture: Pain}" Freed said as he looked at Elfman "those runes represent unimaginable pain, which will become the totality of your existence" Elfman stopped before he could move he burst out screaming as a purple glow surrounded him
"NO," Mira said, "please stop," Mira said, looking at Cana, who was still in pain from Freeds other attacks.
Freed sighed and attacked again, "terror suffering" Freed continued to attack Elfman, who screamed in pain.
"Please," Mira screamed again but Freed continued to attack Elfman with no remorse.
"and now for the finale Dark Écriture," Freed said, "death."
time seemed to slow down as the night Lisanna died filled Mira's mind
Flashback
"I feel strange," Lisanna said, not moving "big sis," Lisanna asked, "where'd you go."
"I'm right here," Mira asked, "please save your strength," Mira said, "help will be here soon."
"Mira," Lisanna said before she stopped moving.
"Lisanna" Mira called "Lisanna."
End Flashback
"No," Mira whispered, "not again," a large amount of magic power buried in the air in ton Natsu and Mystogen both looked up, recognizing it immediately, Mystogen looked down
"the chosen daughter reawakens."
Freed looked in horror as he heard Mira cry, 'this power,' he said, 'how could I have missed it.'
Mira cried as her voice started to change and a bright light formed over her body. Soon the light turned purple as Mira appeared dark marking appeared around her entire body, and a large stocking tail appeared. Her body grew scales as her outfit changed to a dark, skimpy one-piece suit revealing her arms and legs, which are open on the front and the back, exposing most of her belly, wide cleavage, and upper back too. She also dons a pair of gauntlets covering the back parts of her transformed arms. Looking up, Mira jumped at Freed, who managed to jump out of the way.
[##Tai Ma Gekisen Ost or dragon raid ost(I think it fits well here too) or The Beautiful Demon Mirajane Ost##]
"{Dark Écriture: Wings }" Freed called out as a pair of wings grew from his back, and he flew away looking behind him. He didn't see Mira until she appeared and knocked him to the bridge. Freed Flew away, only for Mira to appear again behind him.
"Die" was all she said
"this her power," Freed said in terror, "the she-devil: satan's soul."
Mira held out her hand "{darkness stream}" Freed attempted to block with his sword, but it was knocked out of his hand before he could react, and Mira knocked him down
"I know a few forbidden spells of my own," Freed called out, "evil battles evil {Dark Écriture: Darkness}. Freed then took on a demonic form similar to Mira. He then punched at her, which she blocked, causing a huge explosion in the area
the two began to clash, crashing through mountains and into a cave"{evil spark}" Mira shouted as she shouts Freed down
"there's no denying it," Freed said " she truly is a child of Magnolia," Freed said, "I would never have guessed Mirajane was powerful enough to master it."
"huh," Mia laughed as she stared down at him.
"your strong," Freed said, "but failure is not an option" Freed then let out a large amount of magic energy "{darkness breath}" Freed created a large tornado which blindsided Mira allowing him to get the upper hand "{darkness flashbomb}" he then punched Mira into the water he looked over "is she finished the water then began to move as Mira appeared in the middle holding the water on her hands "she's controlling the water" Freed said in shock "just how powerful is she"
"{evil explosion}," Mia said as she launched the water at Freed, knocking him back, she appeared from the smoke and headbutted him. She then started to gather energy from the area "{soul extinction}" Mira then let out a powerful blast, which could be seen throughout Magnolia.
Freed laid on the ground, defeated as Mira landed in front of him. "Freed!" she called out before charging the man.
"I don't stand a chance," Freed said as Mira landed on top f him before she punched. She stopped when Lisanna's words flashed through her head.
"We still love you."
Mira stopped letting out puffs of air as she remembered how Lisanna used that word to comfort Natsu after their return and how she stood by those words even when Elfman lost control "no," she said, turning off her transformation and getting off of Freed "this isn't worth it"
"what," he asked. "I'm your enemy," freed said, "you need to finish me."
"But we were friends once," Mira told him.
"No!" Freed shouted, "Laxus is my only ally."
[##Mirajane no theme Ost##]
"I know how it feels," Mira said. "I too have someone who I trust more than anyone," Mira said, "but still, you have people who are willing to be there when you need them."
"I," freed started to cry. "I don't."
"it's okay," Mira said "when you're ready," Mira said, "I'm sure there are people whose willing to listen to you" Mira smiled as tears ran down her face, an image of her and Natsu hugging in the woods appeared in her mind "once you make that connection neither of you will forget that it's there."
Elfman smiled as they caught up Juvia in his arms, "My sis."
"she's amazing," Cana said "the chosen daughter"
Natsu and the others froze as the board appeared before them, stating that Mira one over Freed and that she fortis from the game, let out a sigh.
"and with that there's just one," Natsu said
"we're coming for ya, Laxus."
And that's it
Sorry for the title change. I just liked this one better also; how did you guys feel about my inserted flashback about Natsu and Mira? I hope it was good; anyway, I think I'll probably be posting another chapter today, but don't get your hopes up.
So yeah laters
Happy: aww, man
Lucy: what's wrong
Happy: Mirajane isn't fighting anymore. Was I the only one who wanted to see her Natsu and Mystogen team up
Lucy: true, but we've never seen Mystogen in combat, only stories.
Happy: yeah, and he's the strongest out of all three of them, not to mention they're practically on par with wizards saints
Lucy: really
Next time: showdown at Kardia Cathedral
Lucy: just how powerful are these guys
Happy: no, really knows they don't showboat
Lucy: I can see why
