The Assassins of Fairy Tail

Job Five: The Assassins Together

The battle against Avatar continued as the members of Fairy Tail and Leone was taking down the enemy relative ease. Gray was busy freezing the Avatar members solid one after another. "GRAY!"

The ice mage looked to the side to see a familiar face running toward him. "Briar?"

Briar wasn't all too happy with what her former comrade was doing. "How dare you betray us! No…lie to us!" She slammed her hand on the ground and magic power ripped through earth straight at Gray. "Were all those times you spent with us a lie?!"

Gray sidestepped out of the attack's path. "Of course, they were idiot! You think I'd be all chummy with a bunch of murderers like!?"

Briar let out another magic attack through the ground at the ice mage. "This isn't murder! It's purification! And with this, we'll be able to summon Zeref! All that talk about the Book of E.N.D…was that all lies too?!"

Gray rolled to the left side avoiding the attack again. "I wouldn't say that. E.N.D will eventually be destroyed by these hands of mine." He stopped and was crouching down with a hand on the ground. "But it won't be anything like what you're doing." He looked at Briar straight in the eye. "How could I face my pops if I did?"

Over to Lucy and Taurus, they were handling the enemy just fine until Taurus was experiencing a little problem. "Lucy…" The blonde turned to her spirit to see him holding his stomach. "My…My…stomach…. moo…"

Lucy couldn't believe he was having stomach problems during all of this. "At this time!?" She suddenly sensed something strange in her stomach not too long after. "Huh? N-No…me too…"

The blonde heard a laugh and looked over to where it came from. She saw Mary again smiling at her. "My black magic's…a virus. The kind that eats you from the inside." Lucy groaned as the pain in her stomach was becoming worse. "Oh, and it's the kind that makes your large intestines go crazy. So yeah, you'd better find a toilet soon or…oops."

Lucy thought this kind of magic was unfair to use on any person. "That's…so…che…ap."

Taurus wasn't fairing any better under the affliction of the magic. "Lucy…I think…I'm…at my limit…moo…"

Lucy dropped to her knees on the ground trying to resist the pain going on in her stomach. Mary loved how she looked. "Are you Gray's old friends? A wizard from that famous Fairy Tail perhaps? Huh, but you're so weak, it's humorous."

The blonde started to stand up despite the pain she was going through. "What...What are you talking about? As if something like this…"

Mary knew how to take Lucy out once and for all. She placed two fingers on the top of her head. "My virus can be deadly too you know. Hmm, for example,…attacking the brain?"

Both Lucy and Happy who was with her were scared of that possibility. Then the blonde suddenly noticed something. "Huh? My stomach doesn't hurt anymore." Mary was confused as to why her magic wasn't working anymore.

"Body Anomaly Reversal Magic Dispel and Body Anomaly Reversal Magic Enchant!" Both Wendy and Carla in her catgirl form suddenly appeared in front of Lucy and Mary. "Your anomaly magic won't work with my air magic in effect."

Carla looked around the whole area seeing strange people wearing robes fighting. "What's with this army?"

Lucy was surprised seeing the young dragon slayer here of all places. "Wendy?"

"What are you doing here?" Happy asked.

Wendy ignored the question as she glared at Mary. She gritted her teeth in anger. "You…"

For some reason, Mary was feeling a little fear. "M-Me?"

The wind circled around Wendy's leg. "Let's see how you like it when you're the one in pain!" She jumped over to where Mary was. "Sky Dragon's Claw!" Wendy kicked Mary straight to the face and she went through the ground away from her. The young dragon slayer then spread her arms out while the wind circled around them. "I'm not done with you yet!" Lucy didn't understand why Wendy was acting she was all of a sudden. It was as if she had become a totally different person. The young dragon slayer combined her hands together and the wind merged to a large sphere of wind.

Mary groaned as she lifted her head enough to see the attack that was prepared for her. "Huh? Wait a minute!"

Wendy growled at her opponent. "Sky Dragon's Raging Storm!" She threw the wind sphere at Mary while she was down and exploded when it struck her with the wind blowing out everywhere. When the wind subsided, Mary was definitely down for the count.

Lucy didn't know what to think about what Wendy had just done. "Oh man. I know she was the enemy and all but I think that was overkill attacking her while she was still down." Her words didn't reach Wendy as the blonde noticed something strange with the younger girl. "Wendy?"

Wendy was breathing heavily through her mouth as she looked around what was going on. All the sounds of the fighting seemed to be amplified and echoed through her mind. She felt her heart pounding at a fast pace. "Wendy!" Carla rushed over to her friend. "Wendy, please calm down. Remember to count."

The young dragon slayer continued to breathe heavily and did what her friend said. "One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, on thousand four…" She felt her heartbeat settle down and her breathing steadied. After taking in a deep breath, she turned around to her friend. "Are you okay Lucy?"

"That's something I want to ask you." Lucy wondered why Wendy acted the way she did. It was certainly not her normal behavior. She decided to nod at the question. "Y-Yeah. I'm alright. It's a good thing you showed up when you did. I don't even wanna think about what would have happened to us if you weren't here."

Happy suddenly realized something. "What are you doing here?" Her answer was Wendy looking at the side feeling a little unsure how to answer that.

Back to Gray, he was busy fending off Briar's attacks. "You're the one person I can't forgive you damn mole!"

Gray delivered his ice counterattack at Briar but suddenly separated into two people. Gray smiled at the use. "So you're finally using it. Your clone magic."

Briar separated into two more and now there four of them will different personalities. "Raging Briar!

"Smiling Briar!"

"Grieving Briar."

"And Briar in love."

All of them had different views about their opponent. "I'm so pissed."

"I find it hilarious that you'd pick a fight with us with such power."

"I feel sad that I have to kill you here…"

"That's because…I might've fallen in love with you, just a little bit."

Gray really didn't know how to respond to all that. Then he felt a chill that was even cold to him going down his spine. "Then I shall presume that you're my love rival too?"

Gray turned around and saw Juvia. "Why are you here?"

Juvia ignored his question and attacked the Briar that was in love. "Water Claw!" The attack took out the Briar in love.

The other Briar's weren't happy about that. "How could do that to her!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"That's so mean of you!"

And Gray was beginning to be annoyed by all of them. He took up his usual stance. "You're all such a pain." The ice mage froze all three of them at the same solid. "So I'll just freeze all of you!"

The Avatar soldiers nearby were now frightened by what they saw. "Impossible!"

"He stopped Avatar's strongest in just…"

"Eeeeek!"

And they were frozen solid as well. After they were, Juvia suddenly hugged the ice mage. "Oh, my love! I've missed you so much." She gave a loving look at Gray. "I had this bad feeling you'd be in trouble so I came as fast as I could."

While he was grateful for the help, he still could've handled it. "It isn't that big of a deal." He pushed Juvia away a little and wondered about something. "How did you get here?"

Juvia smiled at him. "Wendy's sense of smell is really good."

That made a lot of sense. Still, seeing her now after for so long made Gray feel a little guilty for what he'd done to her. "I'm sorry." He took off his jacket and threw it. "I'll do the explanation later but for now…"

Juvia followed suit and threw away her coat. "I understand."

The two stood side by side with each other. "We've got to take them all down!"

"Yes, my love!"

Lucy smiled at what Wendy had explained to her. "Oh, so Juvia's feeling better already?"

Carla smirked while glancing over at the young dragon slayer. "Well, it's all because of Wendy."

Wendy laughed awkwardly at that. "No, no…" She continued to smile. "Juvia wasn't the only who came along."

Countless Avatar soldiers screamed as they were scattered away. Leone was laughing as she thought was too easy which was surprising for her. "Is that all you got!? I'm barely getting started here!"

Several of the soldiers took a step back as they were terrified and with a lone woman no less. "Screw this! That chick is a monster!"

"Let's get out of here!" They started to run but then were struck by something. It wasn't long after they were stopped moving and then couldn't move at all. "What the? What hit us?"

"Paralysis Needle." The soldiers saw Chelsea walking up to them. "Stops you dead in your tracks." She smiled at them. "Akame?"

Akame ran past Chelsea and drew out her second sword. The shadows surrounded the sword and slashed through all of them while passing through and stopped at the other side. "Five Point Star Shadow Slash." Black stars appeared on their bodies and were slashed by the stars marked. They all screamed while they were all sent away by the attack.

Chelsea scoffed as she walked up to the other girl. "Not using Murasame on them?"

Akame flicked her sword while her eyes were closed. "There's no need. Unlike our world, all of them will be detained."

Chelsea shrugged at what Akame said. "Eh, good point."

"Akame!" Akame's eyes opened and the first thing they saw was being pushed into Leone's breasts. Leone hugged her tightly and her face being buried further into her breasts. "It's great to see you!"

Chelsea laughed at the sight before her. "Ah…I remember she did the same thing to Wendy."

Leone looked down at her girlfriend. "So what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Her response was Akame's answer being muffled. "Whoops." She let go of the other girl and stepped back. "Sorry. Force of habit. You were saying?"

Akame cleared her throat. "Wendy led us by scent and we heard your roar when we were coming over here."

Leone figured as much. She also figured something else. "So if you're here and Wendy's here, does that mean Juvia is feeling better now?"

Chelsea nodded at the question. "Pretty much but it was mostly Juvia who had a gut feeling something was going on. And lo and behold, she was right. So…" She looked around the area and saw the fighting. "What the hell is going on around here?"

Leone saw over all the fighting that was going on. "Long story short, we're stopping these Avatar guys from purifying a town and by purifying I mean completely killing every person living in that town over there so they could meet Zeref."

Chelsea understood the gist of it but there was one thing that didn't make sense. "So how did it go from searching for Gray to all of this?"

That part Leone was a little hesitant to explain. "That…I'll tell you later. For now, let's beat these fuckers!"

The other two girls couldn't agree more. Akame raised her sword while Chelsea created several magic needles in between her fingers and Leone readied her claws at their opponents. "We've really lost our minds if we're fighting an enemy this large."

Akame didn't see the problem with it. "Then I guess we'll give them everything we have. Let's show them what we can do."

Lucy was surprised they came along. "You guys really stick together like glue huh?"

Wendy didn't mind it too much. "Yeah…"

Taurus saw more the enemy approaching them. "This isn't the time to be slacking. The enemy is still here moo!"

The young sky dragon slayer saw the enemy and narrowed her eyes. "I'm on it." She yelled as her hair turned bright pink and the wind coming out from her. Wendy rushed over to the enemy soldiers and passed by them with her arms crossed. "Sky Dragon's Wave Wind!" A large whirlwind appeared and swept up the enemy. She turned around and took in a deep breath. "Sky Dragon's Roar!" Wendy unleashed her breath attack at the enemy from one side to the other. Once her attack was done, she pulled back her arm. "And…" The wind gathered in her hand and shined a brilliant green light. "Sky Dragon's Destruction Cyclone!" She thrust the sphere forward and a large powerful cyclone came out of the light destroying everything in its path. That included the Avatar soldiers that were in front of the attack's path.

Lucy was surprised by what Wendy just did. "Whoa…I didn't know Wendy became this strong and is she using Dragon Force?"

Carla kicked one soldier to the head. "A lot has happened I'll tell you that much." Happy was impressed by what Wendy could do now, he was also reminded of what Wendy did back when fighting against Orochi Fin.

At this point of the battle, the tide had changed to Wendy and the others favor. Erza swung her sword, Lucy destroyed the ground with her hip as a means of attacking the enemy, Wendy struck the soldiers using her dragon slayer magic, Leone, Akame, and Chelsea was taking out anyone they saw in their sights, Gray and Juvia were wiping out the Avatar members together.

From afar, Arlock and the other soldiers saw the battle unfold and it wasn't looking good for them. "Master Arlock…our forces at the back have been diminished and we can't proceed any further from the front. Those people…they're too strong for us. We're losing the battle."

An explosion occurred in front of them and a soldier slid on the ground. Arlock saw a shadowy figure in the smoke. The Avatar members couldn't believe this was actually happening. "N-No way. We have over two thousand people but they have like like…eight."

The smoke began to clear. "It doesn't matter how many you've got. We're…" The smoke cleared out to reveal Natsu. "Fairy Tail wizards."

Smoke came out of Arlock's mask. "All that has happened up till now is as I've predicted and when Ikusatsunagi shakes the earth, that is when the purification begins."

Natsu didn't really understand what he was saying but could care less. There was only one thing on his mind and that was to beat the crap out of the person who was responsible for all of this. "So you're the boss huh?" Arlock chuckled at him. "Your chances of winning are getting slimmer so give up already."

Arlock just lifted his staff. "Oh, such youth. How enviable. I too once had that. However, everyone eventually grows old while entering a phase in life filled with regret…" And pointed his staff at the fire dragon slayer. "and despair!" He fired a magic shot at Natsu but evaded the attack and ran straight at the priest. Arlock waved his staff several times and then struck the ground with it. A magical barrier came out of the ground and Natsu hit it face first.

He growled at the barrier. "What the hell?" Arlock fired more magic shots at the fire dragon slayer from behind and they were going through the barrier. Natsu jumped back to avoid all of them. "You can attack from behind that thing?! Unfair!" He slid through the ground and charged full force at the barrier.

The Avatar members laughed at his attempt. "It's useless! Nobody can make it past Master Arlock's magical barrier!"

They were soon proven wrong as they saw cracks in the barrier and Natsu eventually broke through. Arlock summoned more barriers but the fire dragon slayer broke through all of them. "Impossible!"

Natsu pulled back his arm and his hand were covered in flames. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He struck Arlock in the face breaking the mask to the ground. What came after was an explosion that destroyed hill they were on and blew any soldier nearby away. Natsu stared at the priest and heard him laughing for some reason. "What's so funny?"

Arlock continued to laugh. "You've lost." Natsu didn't understand that. "I burnt my face off just for this day." He stared at Natsu with an insane look in his eye. "That was the price I paid and I did it willingly!"

Natsu still didn't understand what he was getting at. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Arlock raised his arms into the air. "NOW IT'S TIME! OH MIGHTY GOD OF WAR, TIME FOR YOU TO SEAL YOUR PART OF THE DEAL! GRAND ME YOUR POWERS!" The clouds above began to darken and swirl. "SUMMON: IKUSATSUNAGI!" Natsu looked up and wondered what was going on.

He wasn't the only one. Everyone on the battlefield noticed it. Lucy didn't like it one bit. "What?"

Happy had a bad feeling about what was going on. "I'm feeling tingly all over."

Gray suddenly became cautious. "This…"

Juvia felt uneasy about what was going on. "I feel a giant swirl of magic."

Wendy sense something was different. "The air around here is changed?"

Chelsea looked up at the clouds. "I'm pretty sure clouds aren't supposed to do that.

Leone's breathing suddenly became shaky and was felt afraid for the first time in a long time "Something big is coming and it's definitely not good."

Akame tightened the grip on her sword. "We have to prepare for whatever's coming."

All of the Avatar soldiers were cheering for what was happening. "It's Master Arlock's summoning magic!"

"Oh yeah!"

After finishing off another soldier, Erza looked up at the clouds. "What's all this?"

While most of the Avatar soldiers were cheering, some weren't as excited. "Woah!"

"Hey!"

"Master Arlock! We're here too!"

The swirl began to open and became larger in becoming a hole in the dark cloud. What came out of it was a giant demonic looking foot.

The sight of it surprised Lucy and everyone. "A foot!?"

"It's huge!" Happy shouted.

"Move out of the way! It'll crush you all!" Gray warned.

The foot landed on the ground crushing any who was underneath. The mere sight of it made Wendy a little anger. "That bastard. His own soldiers too."

Carla had to agree. "It's terrible."

Natsu growled as he grabbed Arlock by the robes. "Hey! Stop that! You're going to kill your comrades too!"

Arlock laughed as he could care less about his own soldiers. "This is the Purification Ritual. The sacrifice necessary was the souls of Avatar's believers. More accurately, their belief itself. I couldn't care less about the ones in that town. The ultimate offering is the soul of one that dies while believing in Zeref resulting in Zeref's appearance to come and guide us all!"

Natsu glared at the priest and thought he was out of his mind. "Damn you…"

Arlock continued to laugh maniacally while something very giant was appearing in the clouds. "No one shall stop the god of war, Ikusatsunagi! It won't stop till it has consumed every soul in the area!"

The face of the giant emerged out of the clouds and the Avatar members began to flee in terror. Gray and everyone else couldn't take their eyes off of the giant figure before them. "Just look at the size!"

Lucy felt a little scared looking at the giant figure. "What is that…?"

Chelsea was pretty much freaking out about it. "What the hell! It's freaking huge!"

Leone was in awe at what she was seeing. "And I thought that freaking robot back at the Capital was big."

Akame couldn't help but feel nervous looking at what was in front of her. "I believe we've reached the climax of this battle."

Out of all of them, only Erza knew what they were up against. "So he's summoned one of the eighteen battle gods of Yakma."

Towering over all of them was an enormous demon-looking ogre monster wielding a giant sword known as Ikusatsunagi. Natsu let go of Arlock. "What a bastard. Treating his own comrades like dirt." He looked up at the god and had a furious look on his face. "Unforgivable!"
