Hey, fairy tail fans, and welcome back to the next exciting chapter of a fairy tail re-told. I promise I won't upload this late again; maybe, possibly, in any case, stuff happened today, and this just slipped my mind which. Once again, this chapter has been written for months, and we're in like the final four chapters, so I shouldn't be slacking. I never realized how long this arc was until I had to write it out, but thoughts and stuff can wait until the last chapter of this arc, but for now, let's continue the showdown for the fate of the world all that fun stuff you all love reading so much.
Last time on a fairy tail re-told
Lily: we have to best Raven tail, and we can save the girl
Wendy: Aye, but that's easier said than done
Kinana: oh, can I help
Wendy: how long have you been here
Kinana: a few days
Lily: Are you okay
Kinana: yep

Imitatia walked down the steps as Wendy glared at her. looking pat her, she could see Ivan standing above them, and the infinity clock where she could see Katja fusing with the clock "damn it, Michelle," Wendy shouted, "hand over the girl now."
"You and I both know I won't do that." Imitatia said, "you should leave before I have to kill you."
"Why did they come for me" Katja muttered.
"she's alive," Wendy said with glee "don't worry, Katja, I'll get you out." She said she wouldn't fail. She would not let her die. "I promise, okay," she gave her smile, "just hold out a little longer; I promise everything will be okay."
"What a fools bet," Ivan said, "you believe that you can best my creation." he laughed at the thought, "Imitatia is the strongest doll I've ever made."
"Doll," Coco asked
"Ivans magic," Wendy said, "doll magic."
"But there's no way he can create something like that without a high amount of magic power."
"He is the son of a wizard saint," Wendy told her, "Master Makarovs bastard son."
"The little troll is here," Ivan asked, "figures he sends one of his lapdogs to deal with me."
"you're nothing but a disgrace, Ivan," Wendy spat, "and I'm here to take you down."
"You will not lay a hand on my master," Imitatia said, "take in your surroundings, Wendy Marvell, because this is the place where you die."
Angels' tears
Freed let out a sigh of relief as he finished writing an enchantment to protect the pub and shirotsume from the effects of the eternal nightmare; he had gotten a lot of practice with his enchantments; however, he couldn't tell how long it would last and if he runs out of magic power it might ware off as he walked back in the pub he saw that Jude and Jean had started doing as much research as they can "have you found anything."
"No," Jude said, "and the enchantment."
"I can hold it for a few hours," Freed told him. "However, if I run out of magic power, the spell will end."
"So, we're against the clock," Jean said,
"I wish there were more I could do," Macao said
"Hey, we need to stay on standby in case something else happens," Alzack told him.
"Times like this make me miss Mavis." Wakaba muttered, "if she were here, we probably would be able to rest a little easier."
"Still," Freed said, "my enchantment will keep us safe," Freed told him. "However, we shouldn't risk leaving town for a while."
"Understood," everyone said
"Hey," Wakaba asked. "Where's Romeo" Macao let out a grizzled sigh
"Guess I should have seen that coming," Macao smiled "guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Macao looked into the distance "he's not my little boy anymore."
[##Seirei Gassen Ost##]
"{Sky dragons: roar}" Wendy screamed as Imitatia jumped out of the way before running up to Wendy. She ducked down as she attacked her "{sky dragons: talon}" she called, kicking Imitatia in the stomach sending her into a wall only for her to stand up a smile on her face gripping her sword "what the hell" behind her Coco attempted to rush Ivan only for him to let out an attack.
"{Shikigami Dark Bomb}" he screamed, shocking Coco making her jump out of the way.
"that's eight points," Coco muttered
"You okay" Wendy screamed
"Yeah," she screamed '. Damn it' Coco said to herself, "I need to think of something," she said. She looked at Katja, who was still attached to the clock.
"I need to be careful," Wendy said, turning her attention back to Imitatia "she took me down with one hit" she rubbed her side where Imitatia had struck her the last time they fought "she aims for vital organs with intent accuracy."
"I find human bodies amusing," Imitatia said as she pulled out a sword "no matter how brawny you are, all it takes is one strike to your vital organs, and you'll be incapacitated by intense pain."
"And here I thought you were a klutz," Wendy said
"I told you," Imitatia said, "I took the role of Michelle lobster to infiltrate the ranks of fairy tail. However, the form proved useful in allowing me to get to the clock piece" she smiled "try as you might, you are in a losing battle, I cannot feel pain. However, your frail human body will eventually give out."
"Oh no," Coco said, "Wendy."
"don't worry about me," Wendy told her. "Just focus on getting Katja out of that thing."
"You will die," Imitatia shouted. Wendy ran up to her
"{Sky dragons: wing attack}" Wendy screamed. The attack struck Imitatia only for it to be blown away by ice, shocking Wendy as the ice disappeared, revealing Gray Fullbuster "what" Wendy asked as Gray stood up
"I told you," Imitatia said now with Gray's voice, "I can take the form of anyone I've met and or managed to acquire a DNA sample off" she smiled it made Wendy back up in fear, "and I've managed to acquire one of each of your precious fairy tail members" she bragged
"What do you mean," Wendy asked, "how."
"You see," Imitatia explained, "long before their disappearance, I disguised myself as a member of sorcerer weekly" she smiled, remembering the time she in into the fairy pub absorbing information under the guise of learning "originally, I planned to use this knowledge to destroy them, however, looks like only you will get to see this power."
'When could she have done that' Wendy wondered. ' She remembered Mira told her how about a journalist from sorcerer weekly stopping by could have that have been Imitatia "you guys thought this through"
"Master Ivan's plan has been going on for years," Imitatia said, "and now it will finally come through {Ice makes: lance}" she screamed as she shot Gray's signature attack making Wendy jump out of the way "you can't run" she called changing again. this time taking the appearance of Gajeel, "let see how you deal with another dragon slayer."
"crap" Wendy screamed.
"{Iron dragon: roar}" she screamed, making Wendy jump out of the way
Coco rushed Ivan again, jumping out of the way as he attacked her with more bombs. She attempted to strike him only for him to jump out the way "you fell for it," she shouted as she tried to grab Katja, only for something to hold her by the foot.
"Not so fast," Imitatia screamed, having returned to her standard form as she pulled her away, slamming her on the ground "you will not destroy my master ambitions," she called.
"Hey, focus on me" Imitatia smiled as her body glowed again, blocking the attack. Wendy's eyes opened in shock as she looked into Natsu's eye "how did you," she asked. She felt a fierce kick to her stomach, sending her into a wall "damn it," Wendy said as she coughed up blood; she felt the air starting to leave her lungs and a little light-headed, "damn you."
"Come on," Imitatia bragged, "don't tell me you're out already."
"Not on your life," Wendy shouted as she started to take a deep breath air started to tell her lungs, making her and Ivan back up in shock as high as they were getting some good air was more accessible, but still she could feel the effects of the battle taking place as she finished
"Cause now I've got a fire in my belly."
"Lily flew through the air. He had to find Samuel, but he had no idea where to look.
"Come on, Sammie," Lily thought to himself, "you can't really believe that what your doing is right," Lily asked.
deep in the infinity clock, Samuel struggled to climb back to the top. 'I'm sorry, brother,' Samuel said to himself, 'it pains me to have to take another life, but this is the only way; it's not about humans, exceeds wizards, or even Zentopia."
"This is a sacrifice that we must make."
"We did, it," Jude said, slamming the table scaring Miko a bit. "I found a way to stop the Infinity clock," he said as Jean came up to him.
"Really," he asked
"Yes," Jude said, "first off, we need to destroy the linked seals of the wizards that have claimed the clock."
"so that means," Freed said, "we need to best Raven tail" he looked into the distance "we know Wendy was able to best Jackpot, and Bickslow was able to overcome Eirgor" he then stroked his chin "so that leaves Cobra, Angel, Imitatia, and Ivan" he shook his head "easier said than done" Freed looked into the distance "if what Natsu told us is true, the members of the Oracion seis are powerful opponents, it took everything the allied forces had to best them"
"Stow that talk," Miko said, suddenly catching the man's attention "now I might not know everything about these Oracion seis guys," she admitted, "but I know Wendy and Kinana, and I know that both can take whatever they might throw at them" she smiled.
"they'll be alright."
[##fire dragon vs. flame god ost##]
Kinana was thrown into another wall as she fell into a giant pit. She landed on the ground 'damn it,' she muttered as she dodged another attack from Cobra "he's fast."
"It would seem you're not focusing on the battle," Cobra teased
"I want you to tell me something," Kinana shouted as he dodged another attack
"you want me to tell you who you are," Cobra looked away a look of disappointment on his face, "I don't even know you," he said as he jumped at her and kicked her again as she fell off a ledge," the fear in your breathing," Cobra said as he towered over Kinana, "your so focused on wondering what you are you fail to realize the situation you're in" he shouted as he used his sound magic on the knocking into the ground as she stood up.
"I can hear it," Kinana muttered "your confusion," she said, making him back up "you don't believe in this," she said, "don't you? You don't want to go down this route."
"Shut up," Cobra shouted as he punched her through the wall Kinana smiled. Having touched a nerve, she found herself outside the infinity clock landing on one of the many chains surrounding the device. She looked over, feeling a bit uneasy. She couldn't think about that as Cobra came outside "what's the matter? You want your answers to come and get them.
"you're trying to close your heart, but it's too late," Kinana shouted, "you can't do that cause you already know what friendship and love are," she screamed "the more you fight it, the more conflicted you'll be," she cried "{poison devils: blade}" she shouted Cobra ducked out of the way.
"The more you talk, the more pissed off I get," Cobra "you sit here lecturing me about losing, but you have friends around you," he screamed, "but I lost the only friend I ever had"
"And because of that," Kinana shouted as she tried to attack him, "you're going to destroy the lives of so many people."
"you're talking about the infinity clock," Cobra asked. "I could care less about that shit," he shouted. "I just want revenge on those who took Cubellios from me," he called as they collied attacks, creating a large explosion that could be seen from the grounds of Zentopia.
"So only five remain, huh," Lyon said as he removed his jacket "well, once I'm done, it's going to be four."
"Why did you take off your shirt," Angel and Laki asked
"You gave me a thrashing last time we met," Lyon told her, "But I won't lose to you this time."
"I hate stubborn men," Angel muttered.
"she's one of the Oracion seis," Laki said, "and from what I remember, she gave Lucy a run for her money when it came to being a celestial spirit wizard."
"That might be true," Lyon said, "but the two of us together should be able to take her."
"So, you're saying that you need my help," Laki asked as they got ready, standing back-to-back.
"don't get used to it," Lyon shot back.
"Oh, so you plan on taking me together," Angel asked
"Once we're done," Lyon said,
"you'll be a real Angel for sure." Laki finished
Katja felt her mind start to go numb as she began to float in some blue fog. "I feel so strange," she asked. "is this what death feels like?" she asked. "I wonder if I'll see father and mother again."
Flashback
'we're sorry, Katja, but you're going to have to stay here from now on.'
"where's my mama and Papa," Katja asked. Several men were standing around her she looked around Nico was in her arms "please I just want to see them" all of the men looked at each other "I demand that you take me to them" she said tears forming in her eyes "I want to see Mama and Papa."
"we're sorry, Katja," one said
"Your mother and father had to go away."
'it's your duty, Katja. As the sole descendent of Will Neville, you must carry this burden.'
"My life can end at any moment" Katja looked into the distance. She saw a group of kids playing their ball rolling to her running up to her. She handed the ball to them they all smiled at her. They were so bright and happy that it made her smile. It was an odd feeling, but she could tell that they were all close and would remember each other when it came time to die.
"Hey, you should play with us."
"yeah"
"We need one more."
"Come on, play."
"Sorry," Katja would always say, "but I can't" she would then leave as they would go back to playing spending her time with Nico or prayer at the church. She enjoyed the teachings she did, but she often wondered what an ordinary childhood would look like. What would it be like to have her parents around? She often could see herself in a small home. Her father would read papers and help her mother cook, and they would all study the church's doctrine together.
"Katja, are you alright."
"Yes," she would respond." just studying."
"aren't you a smart one"
'This burden is mine to carry and is mine to carry alone, I won't place this burden on anyone else, and I won't cause anyone pain.'
End Flashback
Tears formed in Katja's eyes. Her vision had started to blur as she felt herself begin to merge with the Infinity Clock. She had failed that much was true, but she accepted her fate no matter what it would be this burden on her shoulders would be gone, and she would be gone; however, she didn't understand why this wizard Wendy Marvell was fighting so hard to save her they barely even knew each other and yet she was here trying to save her.
'why'
"I see," Warren said "well, it's good to know Lily's theory was correct," he said
"So, all we need to do is beat the remaining members of Raven tail," Makarov asked, "And what of the girl."
"The clock should free her after the clock loses power," Warren said
"Alright then," Makarov said, looking at the archbishop. He could hear the faint sounds of fighting "we need to move quickly."
"Yeah," Warren said as he looked at the archbishop, "you think he's going to make it."
"We just have to hope," Makarov told the boy, "If Wendy and the others can see best Raven tail in time, she should be able to save him."
"Alright then"
below them, Cosmos dodged another attack from Lapointe, who was laughing as Cosmos tried to attack; however, he kept his distance "you can't run forever," Cosmos shouted as she reached out with her vines
"what's the matter," Lapointe said, "getting tired, child."
"not on your life," Cosmos shouted as more plants started to form around them. Several large seeds struck Lapointe, sending him into a wall. He busted up smiling as he created a large amount of dark energy, striking COmsos down. He landed on the ground as Cosmos looked up.
"you fall here," Laponite said, "then I will take the life of the" he stopped when a vine wrapped around his foot "what."
"that took longer than I hoped," Cosmos said as she tried to stand up "now that I have you," several more vines had reached out, grabbing Lapoint's arms "now you are going down" she then snapped her fingers, creating a small explosion knocking Lapointe down he tried to stand up only for Cosmos to react quickly creating a small flytrap catching him it reacted as Cosmos tried to hold him.
"you won't stop me," Lapointe shouted. "Raven tails goal is within reach. You puny wizards won't stop us."
"Wanna bet," Cosmos asked.
"you are a confident one," Lapointe said, "but I will not be bested," he said. He tried to move as the slime on his started to glow "what."
"This took a while," she said, placing her hands together looking at him, her hair covering one of her eyes. "I need you alive, so this attack can't do too much damage. A large explosion went off as a large vine slammed Lapoint into a wall taking him down. Cosmos backed up, resting against the wall.
"That was fun," Cosmos smiled. "I should hang with master Makarov more often," she smiled "these solo wizards know how to have fun."
"Not this guy again," Lyon said as Shamsiel walked up to him and Laki
"Angel's light is like a million suns," Shamsiel told him. "Let me show you."
"{Ice make: geyser}," Lyon shouted, trying to attack the creature only for the attack to blow through it, knocking him back into a small tree as only for the Lyon to turn to ice and break up.
"What," Shamsiel asked.
"That was a decoy," Lyon shouted.
"Now we got you," Laki shouted "{wood make: violent approach}" she called as she created a giant spiked ball with a chain attacked as she swung at Shamsiel, knocking him back as Lyon leaped over smiling.
"{Ice make: sword}" Lyon shouted as he slashed through the Angel striking it down as the coins fell to the ground. He smiled as Angel let out a scream of pain, forming her to fall from the alter she was standing on. She smiled as Lyon and Laki stood over his sword aimed toward her "looks like we sent Shamsiel back to heaven."
"Heaven," Angel muttered as she gripped Lyons's sword, placing it on the throat, shocking both Laki and Lyon "go on impale me," Angel said, "Please strike me down and send me to heaven along. With Shamsiel."
"What," Lyon asked
"What are you saying" Laki shouted
"I wish to disappear into the sky," Angel told her, "Like an angel."
the hell is wrong with you" Lyon shouted as he turned away, confusing Angel
"Why won't you do it," she asked
"I'm a different person," Lyon muttered. "I vowed never to take another life, and that includes the lives of criminals, " a dark grin grew on Angel's face as she stood up "fine then," she muttered, "the cost is thirty Barakiel, I summon you forth," she screamed as Barakiel appeared.
"it's one after another with her," Laki screamed.
"Get back," Lyon shouted as Barakiel attacked the fun only from the attack to go elsewhere. He looked from the smoke. Dan appeared smiling as he looked at Angel.
"Everyone calm down; Dan of the legion platoon has arrived," he smiled as Angel rolled her eyes. "I finally found you, Angie," he said
"You ever call me that again, and I will kill you," she muttered
"You can't run forever," Dan said. "I will make you fall for me."
"Hurry, Barakiel," Angel shouted "get that peasant out of my sight," she screamed.
"Hey," Dan shouted as Barakiel started to attack, "didn't anyone ever tell you about getting in the way between lovers" he screamed as he struck Barakiel down, hurting Angel again, which this time caught the attention of both Lyon and Laki "alright you two scram, me and Angle need some alone time."
"Do you have any idea what's going on" Laki screamed "are you really that dumb"
"Besides, I thought you were crushing on Wendy. Don't you want to help her?"
"I'm sure my ex can figure that out," Dan told them
"Are you serious" Laki muttered
"Hey Angie," Dan called, "they agreed to give you and me some privacy" he smiled "come on, let's run away together and start our new lives," he said as Angel punched him away.
"You disgust me," Angel shouted, "you're vulgar, distasteful, and a complete waste of breath."
"you're telling me, sister," Laki muttered
"she's just playing coy," Dan said
"Could have fooled me," Lyon said
"The cost is one hundred," Angel screamed. "I summon Raguel, come forth and obliterate in my name," she called as a white angel that possesses a giant pair of wings; four long arms, and seven heads, each holding a horn. "May you feel pain and agony until death seems like a blessing from above.
"You can blow that horn all you want," Dan shouted, "but I will win your heart," he screamed as he blocked the attack, his shield cracking. "I will fight for you," Dan called as he tried to stand firm "no matter what I may face, I will win you over," he screamed as his shield broke, sending him flying back to be caught by Lyon.
"Are you alright?" Lyon asked
"he's breathing," Laki told him.
"Pity," Angel said "I was hoping that would kill him
"How could you" Lyon shouted, "weren't you begging us to kill you earlier."
"Oh," Angel said, "as an Angel, I do have the right to say who lives and who dies."
"What," Lyon asked
"Sorry," Angel said, "but my dream is to vanish into the sky and turn into an angel" she smiled, her cheeks turning red. "I know that thanks to my angel magic that one day, its light will wash away my sin."
"And what might that be" Laki asked
"The greatest sin of all," Angel said, "being born human."
"What," Lyon asked
"Every time," Angel started, "I use my angel magic. I chip away at my own life" she smiled as Lyon and Laki looked at her in shock.
"You mean that," Laki asked.
"Those coins represent your life," Lyon growled, "and you're just throwing them away."
"Ur is gone sure' Gray had told him, 'But she gave us a chance to keep living right, so we need to live. It's what she would want. Let's not waste'
"What can I say," Angel said as she rode around on Raguel, smiling. "I'm getting impatient, and I want to trade in these fake Angel wings for the real ones," she smiled "the more I use my angel magic, the more disgusting I see how this human world is," she scoffed "humans are nasty and vile creatures, and the world itself is just pit of human greed" Angel smiled looking to the sky "yes to vanish into the sky like an Angel that is my wish, my prayer."
[## the promised land far away##]
"you're a fool," Laki said, stopping her catching her attention
"You wanna repeat that," Angel asked
"I said you're a fool," Laki repeated, much to Lyons shock as she walked in front of him "you may be alive, but your dead on the inside, all you talk about is sin and how disgusting the world is," she screamed, "look at Dan, he may be a lovesick idiot, but he accepts that and lives his life to the fullest" she screamed "if being a wizard of magnolia taught me anything is that no matter how people knockdown, no matter what is thrown your way" she called memories of her time in Magnolia her friends during her all the parties they would have during the time of year when no jobs were coming their way. "Even if you hit rock bottom, you never give up," she screamed "you have to laugh, yell, even cry when you have to," she called the last words next to them. Raguel started to crack.
"You call my dream nonsense," Angel asked, her left eye twitching
"The only reason people like you crave death is that you've hardly even lived," Laki screamed "why even bother vanishing? You're already gone"
"You dare mock me," Angel shouted, dark energy coming from her as Laki and Lyon backed up, "and belittle my deepest wish."
"What the hell," Laki asked.
"Get back," Lyon screamed as Raguel blasted an attack at them, its hard casing cracking, revealing a deep bloody red blob surrounding them, turning the room dark as Lyon landed on the stair he looked back in horror "you have a good way of touching people's nerves."
"What is that thing," Laki asked.
"It might be her Angel's true form," Lyon said as he moved in a way that made him shudder.
"I'm going to have nightmares," Laki said
"You both will die" Angel screamed
"Lyon"
"Right," he said. Both rushed toward her
"stay away," Angel screamed, "stay away, you filthy humans."
"Not going to happen," Laki screamed as she grabbed her "don't you see what you're doing."
"All I see are pests," Ange screamed.
"don't let the dark take you," Lyon shouted, "there's still time to turn away."
"No," Ange shouted, "I will not listen to your lies."
"Look around you," Laki screamed "this is what your magic is a parasite that is taking your life away," she told her. "You need to turn away now, you're a human, damn it."
"I'm not," Angle shouted. "I'm an angel," she screamed as Raguel started to consume them. A bright light flashed as Lyon stood firm, realizing his magic power.
"Lyon," Laki shouted, "wait," she said shock written all over her face that stance," she called, "that's."
"Iced shell, I know," Lyon shouted "this spell used by my master Ur to seal away my friend demons," Lyon said "this spell used by my friend in an attempt to seal away my demons," he screamed, "now I will use it to seal away yours."
"But that will take your own life," Angel said to this Lyon smiled
"Then stop," Lyon said "you don't have to let them consume you," he shouted "you have to wish to live," he screamed, "we have to live every day."
"No," Angel cried, "don't you see" Angel cried "this is the only way I can see her again," she screamed, "I have to become an Angel. she's waiting on me to become an angel so I can be with her" tears formed in her eyes "that's the only way for us to truly be together" she shouted
'All of this' Lyon thought to himself 'so you can see them again he thought to the time he was the cold emperor how it drove him to do many terrible things "you have to let it go" he said "you have to live for her" he said as he smiled.
"I," Angel stopped. Her mind was racing as she looked at what had become of Raguel. "I want to," she said, tears forming in her eyes, "but I'm so scared, I want to live" an image crossed her mind, a little girl coming across her face. "I want to live," she screamed as Dan appeared, striking her in the chest with his blade as Lyon let an attack freezing everything in sight.
"Got it," Dan said. "I struck her magic power down," he smiled "who knows, you may even get those coins you lost back."
"I," Angel smiled as Laki looed her a smile on her face "thank you," she said as she fell to the ground, "thank you.
"Hey Lyon" Laki started
"Look I know" Lyon said
"Thank you," she said suddenly, "you came to help us even though you didn't have to" she looked away. "I know I've been hard on you, it just," she sighed, tears forming in her eyes, "a guild took my home from me, and I guess."
"No, I understand," Lyon said, smiling "trust me, I understand."
"Do you miss him," Laki asked? "Gray, I mean."
"How do you know I" Lyon stopped looking at the ice surrounding him. He smiled "yes," he admitted, "he was my sibling student, and honestly the closest thing to a brother I ever had"
"I can understand that," Laki admitted. "Mira and Natsu were inspirations to all of us," she smiled "we could look to them, ya know."
"Yeah," Lyon answered. "I know," he looked back behind them; Angel had said nothing. Hearing their words, she smiled. Lyon looked back, "you cooled down."
"Yes," Angel said, "but why did you do so much for me," she asked, feeling the tears on her face. "I am your enemy, so it shouldn't matter to you what my fate is," she cried. "I am a monster, someone who takes pleasure in the suffering of others, and yet you went through so much hell for me."
"Because," Laki said, smiling at Lyon, who she could tell was thinking the same thing
"it's what they would do."
To be continued
I really enjoyed writing interactions between Lyon and Laki this arc. Hopefully, I can do more in the future, but only time will tell; as always, tell me what you think and all that jazz, and I'll see you next time.
