Hey, guys, here's the next chapter of a fairy tail retold just one more chapter after this, and it's on to the next arc, but more on that next chapter anyway as always, leave a like and review if your feeling generous, and with that let's get the story started.

Last time on a fairy tail re-told

Happy: Natsu, Erza, and Mystogen found Laxus in the Kardia Cathedral

Lucy: but, Mystogen had to leave suddenly, and we're running out of time to stop the thunder palace

Erza: please, my friends, give me your strength

People still enjoying the harvest festival carried on blissfully unaware of the danger that lurks over them or the fact that Laxus had returned Gray came running through. He looked around frantically, "Hey Warren," Gray called out. "Damn it," he said before he continued. 'I need to find him" he said "that the only way I get everyone to help out Erza to stop this thing"

"Gray" a voice called he turned to see Lucy running up to him

"Lucy" Gray said "you have no idea how good it is to see you" he smiled "I take it they were able to take down the chick who froze you"

"Yeah," Lucy said "we got a problem," Lucy said "Laxus activated this thing called the thunder palace, and it could go off any second" she explained "and if does the whole town will go up in flames"

"what," Gray said "that must be why Erza was asking for help" he looked back at Lucy "we need to find Warren," Gray said "if we can band everyone together we can help her destroy the thunder palace"

"right"

Natsu vs. Laxus: the chosen sons

Erza stood away from Cathedral, still summoning swords so she could take down the thunder palace "one hundred ninety-eight, one hundred ninety-nine," Erza said in short breaths as she reached two hundred swords. "I'm at two hundred, and that's not nearly enough to stop it," Erza said, " damn it, what should I do." she felt her legs start to give out her magic power was reaching its limit "I need to stay focused, come on Erza everyone's counting on you," she told herself "you need to protect there" she stopped "no I need to protect my home"

In the Cathedral, Laxus and Natsu continued there to fight "less than a minute and thirty seconds till the thunder palace activates" Laxus laughed, "you're too late, Natsu."

"oh yeah," Natsu shouted as he attacked again, only for Laxus to push him back.

"it's over," Laxus said "you failed"

Natsu stood and grunted. "I need to do something," he said

Erza let out another breath as she stood up again. calling more swords she had stored away "I need another hundred if I want to destroy that thing."

"Hey, is anyone still out there" a voice called in Erza's head.

"who's that" Erza asked

"This is Warren," the voice said, revealing itself to be Warren "things aren't looking too good; take a look in the sky," Warren asked

around town, most of the wizards came too and looked around "what's in the sky" Droy asked as he stood up

everyone looked to see the thunder palace in the sky floating above them "it's part of a spell called the thunder palace," Warren explained " Natsu and his team are currently trying to put a stop to Laxus, but they can't do it time" Warren said, "so there going to need us to take care of this thing."

"why would Laxus activate that thing," Nab asked

"that guy has issues," Wakaba said, standing up.

"But why," Laki asked as she looked around.

"wait," Erza asked, "how did you find out about the thunder palace," Erza asked.

"Lucy filled me in," Gray said "you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice," Gray told her. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Gray," Erza said in relief, "you're alright."

"Wait, that was Erza," Jet asked, "what about the other girls? Where's Levy."

"It's alright, boys were fine," Cana said

"even Juvia is back on her feet," Elfman said behind her.

"Does anyone nowhere Natsu is," Mira asked in concern "he's the only one I haven't heard talk to."

"Natsu's currently holding Laxus off," Erza explained.

"What," Mira asked

"then we need to hurry," Warren said

"Now wait just a minute," Max said "why should I do anything for you, Warren," he said "after the stunt, you pulled"

"Oh Max," Warren said nervously "look, it was nothing personal, I just wanted to save the girls," Warren said

"oh yeah," Max said, "well, you could forget it."

"hey Alzack, you better watch out," Jet called out.

"I'm sorry," Alzack said tiredly.

"Sorry, ain't going to cut," Jet told him, "you better watch your back."

"Wakaba, you bastard, you better watch out," Macao called out

people all over town started arguing as the members of fairy tail plus Cana, Mira and Elfman deadpanned as their friends continued to argue "Guys come on," Mira said, trying to calm everyone down "this isn't the time for this." she tried to reason only fo them to keep arguing

"we're going to die aren't we" Cana muttered

"Nice knowing you Cana," Elfman said

"This is getting us nowhere," Gray said "we need to stop fighting if that thing goes off, we're all going to die"

"shut up, Gray," they all shouted before they continued to argue.

Lucy stood still. Everyone was so angry at each other what could she do, letting out a sigh, "would you all stop fighting" she shouted, getting everyone's attention "don't you guys get it" Lucy said, "this is what the thunder legion wanted, for us to tear each other part" Lucy said "I haven't been here long, but I know there were better than this" Lucy placed a hand on her chest

everyone had stopped and was listening to the celestial wizard as she continued, "I know we count on Natsu and Mira to protect us," Lucy sighed "and I'll admit I count on Natsu and Erza more than anything" Lucy sighed as she looked up, "but there's only so much they can do" she said, " so if you won't help them I will." cause this si my home and I will fight for it" she screamed "so if you want to fight then fine but get back cause I got a job to do"

[##dragon slayer theme##]

"you're not alone Juvia will help you as well," Juvia said, "this is her home, and she will protect it."

"I'm in too," Mira said. "I'm not sitting on the sidelines anymore."

"I'm a real man and a man will always help out his big sister and little brother," Elfman shouted.

"I guess I'll help out too then," Cana said

"I'm right there with ya," Gray said

"I'll help out too," Alzack said, " you guys have always been there protecting us; it's time I return the favor."

"Alzacks right," Macao said, "this is our home, and we need to look out for it."

"yeah," soon everyone was cheering on, "we got your back, fairy tail," they all called out, which caused Erza to smile.

"good job Lucy," Erza said

"But wait," Happy said, "what about that body link magic."

"well, have to risk it," Lucy said "ever since we meet, in this short time it's felt like years," Lucy told Happy, "and we're not giving up now"

"Aye, sir," Happy said as he grabbed Lucy and pulled her into the sky

[##the last magic ost##]

"I'll take the two hundred to the north; you guys handle the rest," Erza informed everyone.

"you can't afford to miss," Gray called out "{ice make lance}."

"{Demon blast}" Mira called out as she shot an attack, followed by Elfman throwing a pillar. Cana threw her card Magic, and Juvia used her water magic. Lucy landed on one of the lacrima and hit it with her whip while Happy ran into it

every wizard in town soon followed, firing their magic at the thunder palace. Soon all the Lacrima exploded as bright energy rained over the town

"Wow," someone said, "Fireworks."

"I guess they're not sparing no expense for the harvest festival."

Erza changed back to her normal armor "we did it," she said before she felt lighting swell around her before a large bolt of lightning hit her.

Lucy and Happy, who both landed, also received the shock alongside Gray and Warren. Everyone was soon letting out screams of pain as the thunder palace shocked them.

In the cathedral, the runes disappeared as Natsu gave off a smirk "see, I told you it wouldn't work."

everyone lay on the ground, exhausted, "is everyone alright."

[##fairy tail main theme slow ver##]

"I've been better," Gray said

"Yeah, me too," Lucy replied

"Alzack, you alright," Droy asked.

"Yeah, Droy, I'm fine," Alzack replied

"Lucy" Mira called "we need to have a serious talk about you convincing the town to do something so reckless" she laughed "someone could have died"

"yes Lucy" Erza laughed "not the best idea"

"like you have any room to talk right now Erza" Lucy laughed "miss hold off Jellal until etherion fires" Lucy laughed "or should I bring up the time you jumped in front of the Jupiter cannon"

"you two" Gray laughed "really are insane"

"don't start mister Ice shell" Lucy and Erza told him

"Juvia is starting to think you guys like getting hurt," Juvia said "she would also like to request a raise" this was enough to get the group laughing as Mira smiled as she laid back looking to the sky

"Now, all that's left is to deal with Laxus," Lucy said, "you think Natsu can do it."

"he can," Mira told everyone. "I believe in him," Mira smiled "if you can hear me, Natsu, "good luck, we love you."

Hearing Mira's words, Natsu smiled "even in the darkest times, the light always prevails," Natsu said, "Mavis use to tell me that all the time as a kid" Natsu looked at Laxus "last time you turned me against my friends," Natsu ignited a fire on his hands "even though I screwed up they took me back with open arms, it's over Laxus."

"No," Laxus muttered. "Not yet!" he shouted, a large amount of magic energy bursting out of him. "I'll take this place by force."

Levy ran through the streets running tears coming down her face. "Laxus, this needs to stop," she said, "you need to be with your grandfather."

[##Jaaku no Tsuchioto Ost##]

"give it up, Laxus," Natsu shouted, "you're not getting Magnolia cause I'm not going to let that happen."

"oh yeah," Laxus said, walking forward. "I'm stronger than can ever imagine," Laxus said, "you can't beat me."

"oh yeah," Natsu said, "{Fire dragons: iron fist}" Natsu punched Laxus with all his might. It didn't even faze the man. He smiled.

"is that all you got," Laxus said before punching Natsu into the ceiling, "I thought you were a chosen son" Natsu lept f the roof as Laxus grinned and jumped at him. The two exchanged blows before Laxus kneed Natsu in the stomach, sending him to the ground; he then sent a lightning bolt, which struck Natsu.

"damn it; I can't move," Natsu moaned. He tried to stand up but couldn't move "where's all this power coming from."

"do you feel the electric energy of the lighting I've summoned forth," Laxus said as he gathered a large amount of lighting "it will plummet down from the heavens, and turn into ash{ raging bolt}" Laxus shot a massive bolt of lightning at Natsu who couldn't dodge it in time when the smoke clear Natsu was gone Laxus let out a laugh "whose the strongest son of magnolia" he stopped as if he was waiting for Natsu to answer "I guess you can't answer that cause you've been turned to dust."

[##dragon slayer theme ost##]

"that's no way to treat a friend," a voice called out Laxus looked up to see Gajeel holding Natsu "only a real nut job like you would be gitty about killing one of his friends," Gajeel said "thankfully, I managed to get to him in time" he threw Natsu on the ground resulting in him coming too.

"Gajeel," he asked

"let's get one thing straight, Salamander," Gajeel said in a menacing tone, "nobody kills you but me."

"so I have another challenger," Laxus asked, "anyone who follows the old geezer and Mavis is going to end up dead anyway."

"stay out of this, Gajeel," Natsu said, "this is my fight."

'Natsu's going to end up facing off against Laxus, please be by his side when he does' those words rang through Gajeels head as he looked at Natsu "sorry, no dice," he said, "everyone's knocked out after taking out his palace,"

Natsu glared at Gajeel, who continued, "Levy told me about what happened last time," Gajeel said, "I know a thing of sorts about slumming in the shadows of your past," Gajeel noted, "the giant behind the pub is a reminder of that" Gajeel told Natsu.

"Why are you so interested in helping me," Natsu asked, "I thought you hated my guts."

"I do," Gajeel admitted, "but you're a fellow dragon slayer, and my sworn brother," Gajeel smiled as Natsu remembered he told Gajeel that after their fight, "so let's face our demons together."

Natsu gave off his signature smirk. "I thought the sky wasn't big enough for two dragons," Natsu teased.

Gajeel gave his smirk in response, "it isn't, but no dragons flying in these sky's not with all this lightning," Gajeel told him as Nasu and Gajeel got into a fighting stance, which caused Laxus o smirk "let's go" the pair then rushed Laxus who managed to block all their attacks with ease Natsu getting the upper hand managed to land a punch on Laxus knocking him back Gajeel then kick Laxus in the rib causing a shock wave through the building Laxus then shot of some lighting which hit Natsu sending him into Gajeel.

"use your breath," Gajeel called out.

"{Fire dragon: Roar}."

"{Iron dragon: club}."

The two combined attacks hit Laxus, sending him in the air. He then shot small electric balls at Gajeel, who tried to dodged but was hit Laxus turned to see Natsu jumping behind him "{Fire dragon: brilliant flame}" Natsu shot his attack, which sent Laxus into the floor Gajeel appeared from the smoke "{iron dragon: lance: demon logs}" Gajell hit multiple spears at Laxus knocking him down as Natsu. Gajeel landed on the opposite side of him.

"Fire Dragon"

"Iron Dragon"

"Roar," the two did a duel roar, causing a massive explosion that took down the wizard in a large smoke "did that work," they ask as they heard Laxus laughing as he came from the smoke with minor scratches but nothing too serious.

"is that the best you can do," he asked.

"how," Natsu said

"I know that he's strong and all, but that was a ton of dragon slayer magic," Gajeel asked as Laxus grinned.

"Let's just say, we have more in common than you think," an evil grin on Laxus said, "I guess I'll tell you my little secret; I never told anyone this, not even the old man" Laxus's body started to grow buff as scales appeared on his arm his he discarded his shirt as he tore it to pieces.

"No way," Gajeel said in shock.

"Laxus is a dragon slayer," Natsu asked in surprise as Laxus charged his next attack.

"{Lighting drakon: breath} a large beam of lighting struck both Natsu and Gajeel, causing both to fall to the ground " still alive," he said as Nasu and Gajeel tried to stand up.

"I can't move," Natsu said

"me either," Gajeel replied

"you two losers," Laxus said. "Mira, Mystogen, that chick Erza, and the pathetic people of Magnolia," Laxus said as more lighting started to generate, "your time is over now."

"All this magic power," Gajeel asked, "he couldn't."

Laxus then got into the fairy law stance, which shocked Natsu "he's trying to cast fairy law."

[##fairy law theme##]

Gajeel froze "that's the same spell that took down master Jose," Gajeel said, "he's insane."

"that's right, metalhead," Laxus said. "Soon, it will all be over."

"Laxus," a voice called the group turned to see Levy standing in the doorway

"you idiot," Gajeel said, "what are you doing here."

"it's Makarov," Levy said, "he's, I mean your grandfather, could be close to death," Levy told him, shocking both Laxus and Natsu. "Porlyusica said you need to be with him" she cried "please stop this"

"gramps could die," Natsu said

Laxus, however, let out a laugh "if the old man knocking at death's door, then I'm one step closer to his title as a wizard saint" Laxus smiled, "and one step closer to forming the ultimate guild, I'll build everything from the ground up no one will be able to stop me, not even Mavis now that I know her strongest spell."

"you can't, Laxus," Natsu shouted, "don't you care about gramps at all" Natsu shouted.

Laxus smiled as he slammed his hands together. "I invoke {Fairy: law}" a bright light shined all over Magnolia, covering the enter town.
