Hey guys, here's the grand finale, the end of all ends of the current saga of a fairy tail retold what it's called, you may ask. I've landed on the Rise of Fairy tail saga seeing as these past few arcs have set up the characters and set up these themes of them becoming a family, so yeah, I hope this saga was good, but more on that later anyway. The typical R&R and enjoy, let's get the story started.

Last time on a fairy tail re-told

Happy: we did it. We manage to pull together and stop the thunder palace

Lucy: but know everyone is incapacitated, and Natsu and Gajeel are the only ones left

Mira: don't worry; Natsu can do it cause he's the chosen son


as the bright light shined across the town, Mira broke into a run, trying to get to its source. As everyone looked in shock at what was happening, Laxus stood his injuries from his fights, smiling he let out a laugh "I finally surpassed the old man" Laxus stopped when he saw Natsu and Gajeel standing up "what."

Levy also came from a pillar, letting coughs as the smoke cleared "how," Laxus said, "how in the hell are all of you still alive."


We are Family


"Levy," Gajeel called out, "you alright."

Levy nodded, "but what about Natsu," she asked, "Is he okay."

Gajeel smiled as he looked at Natsu, who let out heavy pants "he looks alright to me."

"I don't get it," Laxus said. "I did the spell perfectly," he groaned "how are all of them still alive."

"The people of magnolia are still alive as well," a voice called Laxus turned to see Freed. "It looks like the spell didn't work; not a single person was killed."

"that's impossible," Laxus said

"the fairy law spell affects those; only the caster sees as their enemy," Freed said, "you inherited more than power from your grandfather; you also inherited our master's heart."

"No," Laxus said in denial.

"you can't hide it, Laxus," Freed said, "since no one was harmed, we know how you truly feel."

"no," Laxus said. Magic power started to surge around him again "the truth is, anyone who stands in my way is my enemy."

"enough of this, Laxus," Freed said, "you need to be there with your grandfather; what if he dies."


[## Titania no Yoroi Ost##]


Laxus let out a scream, "let the old man die for all I care," he shouted as he reverted to his dragon slayer form "he's nothing to me, he may be family, but I'm stronger," he shouted as he let his magic energy burst from the room.

'all this magic power,' Freed asked 'this is the power of a child of magnolia, and he has Mavis' mark to boot,' Freed said to himself Gajeel had gotten in front of Levy as Laxus started to go berserk.

"who the hell do you think you are" Natsu shouted, standing up, his own magic power bursting out " you're nowhere near stronger than gramps or Mavis," Natsu shouted as his shirt burnt up due to the intensity of his flames "you may be Makarov's grandson, but your no better than the rest of us," Natsu told him "this is your home, and you have friends here you should consider family."

"Friends," Laxus said, his own magic power growing matching Natsu's, which caused the ground beneath them to shatter "friends are a weakness, and I have no family."

"I know Mavis and gramps taught you better than that," Natsu said as his fire took the shape of a dragon "if you think that saying you have no family makes you stronger, your wrong."

"and your dead," Laxsu shouted as the two clashed once more

they exploded out of the building, which caused people from town to come and look; Mira pushed her way through the crowd as she saw Natsu and Laxus fighting she placed her hands over her mouth 'Natsu' she watched Natsu and Laxus clashed in mid-air, both sending devastating blows to each other " how dare you to challenge me" Laxus shouted

"I'm going to stop you, Laxus," Natsu said as he kicked Laxus. "I won't let you get your hands on Magnolia," Natsu shouted as Gajeel, Freed, and Levy looked on, making it outside "it's our home, and I won't let you destroy it."

Laxus punched Natsu into a part of the tower then slammed him "why won't you just die" he shouted as he kicked Natsu away, who fell on the roof."

"Natsu," Levy shouted.

"I won't lose," Natsu said "you'll never win," Natsu said in pain as he struggled to stand up.

"oh yeah, {lighting drakon: Breakdown fist}" Laxus shouted as he punched the air, causing a large version of his first to appear and hit Natsu, sending him back.

Laxus smiled as Mira covered her mouth in horror "get up," someone called, getting Natsu's attention. He looked back to see some calling to him.

"get up, Natsu."

"yeah, beat that guy."

"you can do it."

Freed and Gajeel starred in amazement as people started to cheer Nasu on. Levy smiled as she too started to cheer for Natsu "come on, Natsu, we believe in you," they all cheered, most crying as Natsu started to get up 'he can still fight,' both men thought.

'you have people who are counting on you,' Natsu said to himself as he stood up. 'I can't lose here' Natsu looked at Laxus, who grew a look of anger on his face.

"That was your last mistake. Kid," Laxus shouted as he gathered a large amount of magic in his hands, "now I'm going to obliterate you."

"that spell," Freed said, "that much magic energy could kill him."

Laxus smiled "{Lightning Drakon's: Heavenward Halberd}" Laxus shot a large arrow at Natsu as Mira let out a scream, and Levy closed her eyes. "Natsu," Freed called as Nasu fell to his knees, but before the attack made contact, it changed direction and hit Gajeel, who had his iron club out.

"what," Freed said as Gajeel fell off the building, "did he use himself as a lightning rod."

Gajeel looked at Natsu as he starred back "what are you waiting for" Gajeel called out, "get him."

Natsu growled as he charged up his magic. 'I can't lose,' he said as the fire consumed his body once more. "because I'm their chosen son"

"damn," Laxus said, "he's still alive."


[##fairy tail main theme##]


"Fire dragon" Natsu and Laxus charge at each other one more time as Nasu managed to get the upper hand "iron fist, taloon, wing attack, sword horn flame elbow" Natsu furiously attacked Laxus with his attack was every looked on in shock.

"He really is amazing," Levy said

"Indeed," Freed said, agreeing with her.

"The ability to break through a dragon's scales and shatter its spirit," Mira whispered "he's mastered it,"

"{Dragonslayer secret art: crimson lotus: exploding flame blade}" Natsu shouted as a spirling flame shot from his hand and consumed Laxus, sending a large explosion into the sky; the lighting wizard landed on the ground in defeat.

"I don't believe it," Freed said, "he beat Laxus."

Silence filled the air as some raised their fist in the air. "Natsu, Natsu" soon, everyone joined in, cheering the dragon slayer. Mira smiled as she stared at her brother '; as Lisanna said, they love you, Natsu' she smiled as Natsu let out a victory roar as people started to cheer even louder.


Deep in a volcanic area, a tiny spark flew through the air as it reached a large volcanic structure a pair of eyes came from it "what is it Grandeeney, may I remind you that you are forbidden to come here."

"is it wrong that I wish to visit my eldest friend," the light said "you know, your son is being reckless again," Grandeeney told him "he reminds me of someone else I know," she said in a teasing tone "his string of good luck is bound to run out soon, in which case he could end up dead."

"Angered by this, the being burst from the volcano, revealing itself to be a dragon "silence, you are not to meddle in the humans affirms, do so, and you will anger me the mighty Igneel," he shouted at the light.

"you know when my daughter reunites with him," Grandeeney said, "I hope they still have a good friendship," she says. Igneel growled as Grandeeney continued, "for our plan to work, all the dragon born must be together to stop well you know who"

"is that all, Grandeeney" Igneel asked as Grandeeney chuckled.

"you know I'm right," she said "we can only wait and hope the humans prevail with the last gifts we've given them" Grandeeney let out a sigh, "but Zeref is still" Grandeeney stopped "never mind. I'm not going to bring that up."


Later, people around town talked about Natsu and Laxus' fight "I can't believe Laxus was here, and no one knew."

"goes to show how hard the big three work to protect us," someone committed.

"I hope Natsu's alright," another person said as Porlyusica walked past. "I heard they had to push back the parade cause something happened to Makarov."

"really," they all asked.


"First, I'd like to say thanks to Porlyusica, Makarov will pull through," Mavis informed everyone, "and second, I'm sorry for not being here," she said, which caused everyone to be deadpan.

"it's alright, Mavis," they all said

"Are you sure," she said " I only went off to visit an old friend's grave. "If I had known, I would have gotten here quicker."

"as we said, it's okay, Mavis," Mira said, "besides, the Fantasia parade is the best way to get everyone over what happened."

"Yeah," Lucy said, " so we all got to be in it."

"if you were not hurt real bad, then yeah," Happy said here.

"So I'm in it too," Juvia asked, sitting next to Gray.

"you got that right little lady," Cana said, drinking a beer.

"I thought since I'm new," Juvia went on in an embarrassed tone.

"she's just the cutest," Cana said as Juvia stared, fiddling her thumbs together, causing the rest of the group to laugh.

Gray smiled "we need all the help we can get," he said, "especially since we can't use those too," he said to point the group's attention to Natsu and Gajeel, who were covered from head to toe in bandages.

"screw you and your parade," Gajeel told him. Natsu mumbled something, but since the bandages covered his mouth, no one understood all but Gajeel "how are you going to be in action, your out" Natsu mumbled something to Gajeel that got a reaction "that's got nothing to do with it, bro, what is your problem."

"only Natsu," Mira said "he should really take it easy; I'm not letting him take a job for the next month," Mira informed the group; much to Lucy's shock, causing her to deflate in her seat

everyone started to talk and try to make amends for what had happened earlier. Everyone stopped when someone walked in the door; everyone was shocked to see Laxus standing in the doorway; he walked in as everyone stared at him "what do you want" someone asked,

"where is he," Laxus asked.

"you think we'll tell you something like that," Jet said "after you've betrayed us twice" people started to shout at Laxus, telling him to get out Laxus stood there taking all their insults; he knew he hurt them he was about to speak before Mavis said something.

"enough!" Mavis screamed, which stopped everyone. She and Laxus exchanged glares. "I hello would be nice," she said with a cold tone

"Mavis," Laxus greeted

letting out a defeated sigh Mavis looked at Laxus one more time "your grandfather is in the infirmary Laxus" she told him, much to everyone's shock, "try not to stress him out too much this time. "Laxus walked past Mavis, whose eyes didn't move, "try anything funny, and I'll obliterate you."

"yes, ma'am," Laxus whispered.

Natsu mumbled something which got a look from his friends as Gajeel interpreted, "he said next time it wouldn't be a draw," Gajeel said, "and he's right."

"wait," Lucy asked, "I thought you guys beat Laxus."

"look at what he did to us," Gajeel told her, "if he were around during the Phantom battle, I'd be six feet under."

"shows over everyone," Mavis said, "start preparing for the Fantasia parade."


Laxus and Makarov stood in silence as everyone cheers filled the room "they've grown into a rowdy bunch," Laxus said, looking away from Makarov.

"Laxus," Makarov said, sitting up. "I don' think you fully understand what this place stands for," Makarov said, "look me in the eyes, young man."


[##Shukumei Ost##]


Laxus turned to meet his grandfather's gaze as he continued, "Mavis turned this town into a place, where wizards with no guild who will take them can find work," Makarov told him, "a place where children with no kin to call their own can feel like they're part of a family."

"I understand, sir," Laxus said

"not only did endanger innocent lives, but you also put the very ideals we're sworn to protect in danger; that's unforgivable," Makarov said

"I know," Laxus said, "it's just, I thought with a guild we could get stronger," Laxus admitted. "I never wanted any this, for Natsu to hurt Mira, for the thunder legion to turn out the way they did."

"I swear, you're just as high strung as I am," Makarov said "be careful, or you'll end up in here with me," he told Laxus "you need to stop and smell the roses; it'll allow you to hear and see things you've never seen before," Makarov told his grandson "life can be a lot of fun if you allow it to be" Makarov let out an extended sigh "over the years I saw you turn into the man you are today, where did I go wrong I wonder, what lesson you didn't, learn," he said "it's a failure on my part though"

"No," Laxus said, "I let myself be consumed by hate and anger," Laxus told Makarov smiling before he turned around. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry, and thank you for all you did, Grandpa" he turned back and smiled, "you take care of yourself, old man," Laxus said as he walked out the building.

"Laxus," Makarov called, but it was already too late "gone again," he said. "I hope you find what you're looking for."


"What," Evergreen asked in pure shock, "what do you mean you want us to stay," Evergreen asked, "we're supposed to be a team, Laxus."

"I know," he said, "but this is where our road splits."

"come on," Bickslow said, "maybe we all should stick around," he said, "it's us versus the world, right."

"man, your guys are clingy," Laxus joked "can't you just say goodbye and be done with it," Laxus said "besides "I know you guys miss this place more than I ever did," Laxus said "I need to find my own path," Laxus said

"you are really leaving us," Freed asked. Laxus smiled at his longtime friend before he turned away and walked off, giving off a final wave as Evergreen started to cry, "don't worry, Evergreen," Freed said, "I'm sure our paths will cross. Again."


In an abandoned area, Ultear, a former member of the magic council, stood atop a mountain "excellent work, Ultear," a voice called "whatever became of Jellal.

"to be honest," Ultear said, "I couldn't care less."

"that poor fool never guessed you were the one pulling strings," the voice asked.

Ultear laughed "he may not have been the brightest, but he sure was adorable," she said, "in all that time, he never guessed I was pretending to be the spirit of Zeref." she laughed as she remembered bending him to her will

"Your plan did great things, Ultear," the voice said "the magic council in turmoil, the firing of etherion," the voice said

"I hoped while Jellal was running amok, you would be able to move freely," Ultear said

"yes, one of the keys to Zerefs seal is now in my possession," the voice said as Ultear laughed.

"that's good, master Hades," she said. "I'm sorry things ended this way, my dear Jellal."


Fireworks went off as the Fantasia parade went underway. Cana performed card magic spells alongside Macaos; he did the trick with his fire magic on a roof. The demons of Galuna Island watch, looking for Natsu and his friends Laxus stood in an alleyway watching the parade from afar.

Lucy, Bisca, and Levy all performed their act. At the same time, Kaby Melon and his wife watched next to Kageyama and Karacka as the girls finished their dance behind them, Elfman who was transformed, gave off a roar which shook the crowd as Mira appeared from a flower which made all the males go crazy she then transformed into a giant lizard shocking mostly everyone as she soon due to her added weight destroyed their ride as they moved forward Gray. Juvia appeared dressed as a king and queen. They used their magic to create a giant castle and created a giant sign which read Fantasia gray nodded as he saw Lyon, Sherry, Tobey, and Yuka standing in the crowd.

Erza appeared next, dancing with her swords as she changed into a different armor set, continuing to dance with swords flying all around her. She saw Sho, Wally, and Milliana in the crowd. She smiled at her old friends and gave off a wave before she continued with her dance. As she continued, Natsu appeared walking on the ground due to his motion sickness. The crowd cheered louder as Nasu walked with Mavis and Happy. The trio gave off waves to the crowd as Natsu did the trick with his fire, often hurting himself

Makarov smiled as he saw their antics, "hey Makarov," a voice called out. He looked back to see Gajeel limping up to him, "you're not going to be in the parade, Gajeel," he asked.

"naw," he said. "I don't like the spotlight."

"Aww, but your mister shoo-be do ba," Makarov teased, which caused Gajeel to blush.

"I Finally found your son, master Ivan," Gajeel said, "sorry it took so long."

"no problem," Makarov told him. "I'm sorry the job was so dangerous."

Gajeel chuckled. "Nah, I can handle it," he said, "besides, it was actually kinda fun." he laughed "being a double agent is the kind of job that I live for" he smiled "high risk high reward"

Makarov placed a hand on Gajeels shoulder "thank you," he said, "we can't let Ivan do as he pleases, I'll report this to Mavis when I get the chance," he said, "Master you ready," some called which changed Makarov's entire tone "Sorry, but my public needs me," Makarov said as he was soon thrust in the crowd doing a funky dance.

"what's he doing," someone asked.

"I wish I knew," another person answered Laxus smiled as the memory of his first Fantasia parade came to mind.

Flashback


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


"Why aren't you in the parade this year, gramps," a younger Laxus asked

"This is your big moment," Makarov answered, "don't worry, I'll be watching from the sidelines," he told his grandson with a smile on his face.

"How will I find you," Laxus asked as Makarov shook his head.

"don't worry about me," he told the boy, "this is your year, try and enjoy it to the best of your ability."

"Okay," Laxus said before an idea struck, "hey, I know, in the middle of the parade, I'll do this" he then raised his hand, making an L with his index finger and thumb.

"you'll raise your hand," Makarov asked.

"it's a sign," Laxus said, "it means even though I can't see you, I'm looking your way," Makarov smiled as tears came to his eyes.

"that's my boy," he said

"be sure to look for it, okay."

End Flashback

Laxus smiled as he made the sign; he started to walk away smiling 'we'll always be with you,' a voice called in his head Laxus stopped. He could have sworn it belonged to Natsu's partner 'no matter where you go' Laxus recognized those voices it was Juvia and Cana a chill washed over him as he turned back what he saw stopped him in his tracks Mira, Natsu, Mavis, Lucy, Gray, Elfman, and Makarov were all doing the sign he did on his first parade.

"will always watch over you," Gray added.

"until the end," Erza said

"we may not be able to see you," Elfman added.

"there may be a million miles between us," Makarov and Mavis said

"But we'll always be looking your way," Natsu and Mira finished.

"I know," Laxus said as he walked away, tears filling his eyes. He felt nothing but remorse after his action of the past few years 'thank you,' he said

"because we are family."


And that is a wrap

it's over after a whole year, and after about twenty-four days, I'm finished with the first saga in this story. Now feel free to tell me what you think of the story so far and if I should continue or leave it as it is causing this would make a pretty good ending. anyway, as for when I'll start the next saga/arc, it is currently unknown, so yeah(this is the part where we go over arc memories and stuff), I may be taking a break to write some stories on my other fanfic cause its' sorta just sitting there now

I hope you guys enjoyed these past few arcs as much as I enjoyed writing them, and now I want to hear from you about the past six arcs, which one was your favorite. I had posted a poll on my page, so be sure to go vote on your favorite or tell me in the comments, whatever you choose; oh and these previous arcs are part of the Rise of fairy tail Saga, which I decided on two days ago, yes it took me this long to come up with a title for the saga of these arcs(I only came up with the saga idea three days ago). Anyway, I'm still thinking of a name for the next saga. If you have any suggestions, let me know or not. I'm totally willing to listen, but I'm leaning towards returning the dark Guild's saga anyway. That's all for now so

Farwell and until next time
