The Assassins of Fairy Tail

Job Twenty Two: The Dragon's Assault

The air fleet of the Alvarez Empire was upon Magnolia. Their arrival came as unexpected to Fairy Tail. However, Mavis was prepared for all situations. "The enemy is coming! There are about fifty ships in the skies west of here! Ring the bells!"

The bell did ring and it signaled every member of Fairy Tail. Including Natsu and Lucy. "The enemy?"

"From the skies?"

Lucy grabbed her head in worriment. "We aren't done preparing!"

Outside of the town, Leone was at a loss for words at what she was seeing. "Holy goddamn crap! They have a fleet of flying ships!?"

Akame felt overwhelmed in what she was seeing. "Just how powerful are they?"

Up in one of the ships, Ajeel pointed his finger at the town. "Fire!" All the ships unleashed their cannon shots at the town. However, all of their fire was blocked by a shield which Ajeel didn't expect. "What?"

The shield circled around the town and was successfully blocking the enemy's attack. And the one who was responsible for it was Freed. "Jutsu Shiki!"

Ajeel chuckled as he was little impressed at their defensive tactic. "Oh? Anti-magic barriers, huh?"

It was a good move but Makarov knew it wasn't enough. "First! Freed might be strong but he won't be able to hold off all of them." Mavis knew that much as she was planning her next move.

Meanwhile, in Kardia Cathedral, Freed was giving his all with Bickslow and Evergreen lending their support to him. "Freed, take my magic as well!"

"You can do it Freed!"

Macao and Wakaba didn't expect this kind of move coming from the enemy. "We didn't think they'd come from the west!"

"What do we do now!?"

During all of this, Mavis still had a calm look on her face. "No…it's exactly as I've calculated. In fact, it's a pleasant surprise that the enemy sent a smaller fleet than expected for the preemptive strike." Macao and Wakaba weren't sure what to think about that. Mavis swung her arm at Warren. "Warren, let everyone know that we're moving to plan D! Team Flying Dragon and Osprey! Commence attack!"

Warren gave the first master a thumbs up. "Got it!"

Outside the town, Bisca was looking at the enemy through a telescope with Alzack and Asuka with her. "This is Team Osprey. We're currently in the Eastern Forest. The enemy is too far."

Asuka was curious about their name. "Why Ospreys though?"

Alzack was wondering that too. "I dunno."

Mavis had all the confidence in Bisca's abilities. "Bisca, you'll be fine."

Bisca took aim and waited. "Y-Yes!"

Ajeel cackled at the enemy's attempt to defend themselves. "Fire! Blow them all up! Let's see how long you can hold up!"

"Sir! Something's coming at us!"

Outside the ship fleet, three particular anomalies were quickly approaching them. Ajeel didn't know what was coming at them. "What's that…?"

"Something's flying at us at an incredible speed!"

"Evade it!"

All three anomalies struck through one of the ships and it exploded. "We've lost number four sir!"

"What!?"

The three came out of the destroyed ship and they were none other than Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel being carried by their Exceeds. "Enter Team Flying Dragon!"

Ajeel easily recognized Natsu and Wendy from his last encounter with them back outside the capital. "Those brats…"

The three dragon slayers flew to the rest of the flying fleet. "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Gajeel just straight through one of the ships and it exploded behind him "How'd ya like this?!"

Wendy was above one of the ships and looked back at Carla. "Hold on."

Carla nodded at the sky dragon slayer. "Of course. Just be careful."

Wendy looked at the ship and spread her arms apart. The wind circled around her arms and clasped her hands together. The wind merged together into a large sphere of wind. "Sky Dragon's Raging Storm!" She threw the sphere of wind at the ship and it struck. The result was the ship being destroyed.

The other ships retaliated in firing back at them. "Shoot them down!"

Natsu avoided the fire easily thanks to Happy. "Nice one Happy!"

While they were dealing with the enemy ships just fine, they were still outnumbered. It was troublesome to Lily. "Damn it! We can't get any closer with that barrage!"

Carla also saw how troublesome their situation was. "What's taking Bisca so long!?"

Thankfully, Bisca was finally ready to enact the First's plan. "This is Team Osprey. Reporting, magic charge has been completed!"

Asuka smiled at her mother. "You can do it mama!"

"Asuka, don't go so close!"

Bisca cranked something large into position to get the aim right. "It takes fifteen minutes for this to charge. I must not miss!" She positioned a giant cannon right at the main ship of the fleet.

Alzack had all the confidence in his wife. "Believe in yourself, Bisca!"

Bisca took aim at the ship and smiled. "We're Ospreys because Ospreys never lose their prey." She fired a massive laser out of the cannon right at the main ship of the air fleet. "FOCUSED MAGIC CANNON: JUPITER SHOT!"

The shot traveled across the town. Something Juvia and Gray noticed. "Was that Phantom's main cannon?"

"Man, the First is scary."

The shot neared the ship Ajeel was currently at. However, Ajeel wasn't too concerned as he put his hand in front. "Nice try!"

Before the Jupiter shot reached the ship, it scattered around the ship Ajeel was on. However, upon doing this, the nearby ships were destroyed by scattered shots. Neither Bisca nor Alzack expected something like that to happen. "He scattered it?!"

Despite their attack failing, Alzack saw the bright side of it. "But we've managed to take down a few of the ships."

It was quite a sight to see for Gajeel as he's never seen anything like that before. Especially from the Juniper Cannon. "Whoa, to think anyone could scatter Jupiter like that. Guess we gotta do this the old fashioned way then. Take me down to the commander's ship." Lily nodded at him.

Lily flew to the ship and dropped Gajeel on the main deck. Alongside him were Natsu and Wendy. Ajeel grinned at their arrival. "Look at the mess you've made." And in the next second, all three dragon slayers dropped to the floor looking sick. It was something Ajeel didn't expect the least. "What the-!?"

Happy realized what was obviously wrong. "We're on a ship!"

Carla could only shake her head at the current situation. "And all of them are like that."

"Wendy, what about your Troia!?" Lily suggested.

Unfortunately, Wendy couldn't do much at the moment. "S-Sorry. I…can't do it…like this."

Makarov and Mavis saw how much of problem this was. "First…"

"I forgot…"

Ajeel didn't know what to make of this but decided to continue on. "What the hell is this? Well, whatever, the ship's pretty broken up so we'll be landing in a few. Let me deal with these ones."

His subordinate nodded at him. "Yes, sir!"

Ajeel grabbed Natsu by his scarf and pulled him up. He gave a wicked smile to the fire dragon slayer. "Remember what you said in that grand speech of yours back in Alvarez? Is that all you got? What a joke."

Before Ajeel could anything to Natsu, the tip of the ship was cut off from the rest of it. Ajeel let go of Natsu. "What?!" He saw Natsu and the other dragon slayers fall on the part of the ship that was cut.

"Happy, Carla, Lily…take good care of them."

Ajeel's soldiers were being taken down one after another in quick succession. Ajeel himself looked behind to see who was the one attack his soldiers. "Who the hell are you?"

The one responsible for the defeat of his men turned around and Erza pointed her sword at him while giving off a serious glare. "I'm the one that'll cut you down."

Happy and the others caught Natsu and the rest of the dragon slayers before the piece of the ship they were on fell to the ground. Natsu was grateful for the save Erza did for them. "Erza…"

Wendy saw what remained of the fleet land near them "A number of ships have already landed. We'll be headed there."

It was the next best thing for Gajeel considering their options. "I guess we've just gotta leave this to her. It's on board a ship anyway."

Lily wasn't all too concerned. "It's Erza we're talking about, after all."

Wendy took one lasts look at the ship before flying away to the ground. "Erza protected us again."

Back at the guild, Makarov and Mavis saw that Erza was about to confront Ajeel. Makarov couldn't help but feel worried about one of his children. "She's strong but I'm afraid she won't be able to defeat one of the Twelve on her own."

Mavis knew that much but there wasn't much they could do for her now. "We must believe in her."

Despite this, Warren smiled as he saw the bright side of this. "Our morale will definitely rise if we manage to stop the enemy and his fleet!"

In Kardia Cathedral, Freed was still maintaining the barrier around the town. "Wasn't your Jutsu Shiki a perfect defensive mechanism?" Evergreen asked.

Freed scoffed at her words. "There is no such thing as perfection in this world."

Bickslow looked to the door of the cathedral. "The enemy's magic is too much for him to handle."

Even if that was true, Freed smiled confidently. "However, thanks to Team Flying Dragon and Osprey, the attacks have been cut in half. And I can deal with that."

At the eastern forest, Bisca sighed as she had to wait for her next opportunity. However, her daughter was a little impatient. "Mama, hurry up! The town's under attack!?"

Alzack kneeled next to his daughter. "It takes time for the Jupiter Cannon to recharge."

Bisca was confident in her next chance when it comes up again. "But I'll make sure the next one reaches."

A large portion of air ships docked on the West Cliffs outside of Magnolia and the soldiers were on their way to the town. "Charge! Move towards Magnolia!"

Alvarez Empire Ajeel's Army: Bakel

"Uh, captain? How are we to move past the enemy's Jutsu Shiki?"

Bakel just grinned at the other soldier. "Dunno." The soldier didn't know how to respond to the answer.

Bakel just laughed while another soldier next to him contemplated this move they were making. "It doesn't matter. 'He' is here with us too, remember? It's only a matter of time before it falls. To be honest, though, I feel we're wasting our resources on a battle like this. But then again, it's the job a soldier to carry out his task.

Alvarez Empire Ajeel's Army: Kareem

"Thanks for making it easier for us by landing!" All the soldiers saw Natsu and the other two dragon slayers coming at them quickly As they approached them, all three them attack the front soldiers at once. "TAKE THIS!" Their combined first attack sent several soldiers flying. Natsu didn't waste time with his next attack and flipped toward the next batch. "Fire Dragon Talons!" His attack hit the ground and sent streams of fire at the soldiers. One of the soldiers was hurtling toward Bakel but he just smacked the soldier away from him with his arm. With his opponent chosen, Bakel rushed to Natsu and delivered the first attack at Natsu with his fist. It was strong enough to push him away. Natsu stared down at his first opponent of the war while Bakel was grinning.

At the main air ship, Erza began her fight against Ajeel. "Heaven's Wheel! Circle Sword!" She sent countless swords at the Desert King.

Ajeel grinned wickedly and swung his arm across. The swords that were coming at him turned into sand. "Yeah, as if something like that would hurt me!"

Erza took advantage of her opportunity and transformed into her Blackwing Armor. She came up close to Ajeel. "Black Wing Moon Flash!" She swung her sword down and the force of the attack traveled throughout the deck.

However, Ajeel was able to avoid it and appeared next to her. "Oh? Is there anyone strong than you in your guild?" He thrust his arm forward and pushed Erza back with a blast of sand. "I have to say, though, you're great warming up material!" He laughed tauntingly at her.

Even if he was powerful, Erza wouldn't give up so easily. "Don't you dare…" She swung her sword to the side." Underestimate Fairy Tail!" Ajeel jumped over the sword to dodge the attack. Sand then appeared and started to surround Erza. "What's this!?"

Ajeel chuckled at the sight of his opponent. "I can't be bothered to." He saw Erza trying to struggle against the sand she was in. He landed back on the floor. "Well, enjoy turning into sand then."

Erza tried to requip into another armor but found it she couldn't. "There's something wrong with requip? How?" The sand completely engulfed her.

At Kardia Cathedral, Freed noticed something was wrong and Evergreen noticed the shocked look on his face. "What's wrong, Freed?"

Freed couldn't understand what had just happened. "Impossible. There's a hole in my Jutsu Shiki?" Both Evergreen and Bickslow were shocked to hear that.

The guild also noticed the problem. Warren spotted it. "There's a crack in one part of Freed's Jutsu Shiki. No wait, a hole?"

Mavis didn't expect the enemy to get through Freed's barrier so easily. "It can't be. Could the enemy be using nullification magic?"

In the streets of Magnolia, Badd was calmly walking with his squad behind him. "This stuff's so easy."

His squad cheered at their leader's ability. "That's our Master Badd!"

"Time for us to charge!"

Badd was looking forward to crushing his enemies. "Let's show them what we're made of. Alvarez's strength."

Makarov couldn't believe the enemy was already close to them this early in the fight. "Such power. There was another one of the Twelve with them?!"

Mavis had to come up with something and fast before the enemy could come any closer. "They're coming through the streets! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Gray couldn't figure out how the enemy could be here this fast. "They've already gotten in?"

Juvia had an idea of where the enemy would be coming from. "They're coming from Fairy Hills!"

Laxus pondered what was going on with Natsu's team. "What the hell are Natsu and the rest doing out there?"

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna who recently reunited with them, were running to where the enemy was. "Let's go, we've gotta protect Fairy Tail!"

"Yeah!"

"It's a man's fight!"

At the same time, Akame and Leone who was in her beast form, were running on the rooftops. Leone wasn't sure what to feel about this. She was excited and yet nervous since this was just the enemy's opening attack. "Guess we'll show these Alvarez fuckers what we can do."

Akame was more cautious about the whole situation. "The group may have one of the Twelve with them. We can't be careless." That was the part where Leone was nervous. She'd already seen what Brandish and Ajeel could do but there was no telling what the other ten can do. Especially the three they don't know.

"Hey!" Both girls saw Chelsea jump on one of the roofs near them and ran alongside them. "You two ready for this?"

Leone chuckled at the other girl's question. "We should be asking you that."

In truth, Chelsea was nervous but she was determined to fight. "A little, that much is true but if there's one thing we have, it's experience in dealing with Empire soldiers. Let's meet up with others." Akame and Leone nodded at Chelsea and the three continued to run to where the enemy was.

At Lucy's house, she was prepared to face the enemy head on. "I've gotta get moving too." She grabbed the remaining piece of Aquarius' key. Lucy held it close to her chest while her eyes were closed. "Please lend me your strength, Aquarius." Before she could head out, Lucy heard a strange sound coming from somewhere in her apartment. "What was that?" She looked to where she heard the strange sound. "It's coming from inside my room. Inside my bathroom." Lucy carefully walked to her bathroom and quickly opened the door.

What she found wasn't exactly what she expected. "Oh, so is this indeed your house then?"

"You pass!"

Naturally, Lucy freaked out when she saw Brandish taking a bath in her bathtub. "What's one of the Twelve doing in my bathroom!?"

Brandish ignored Lucy's outcry and seemed her mind was on something else. "I wonder why you…left a rather deep impression."

As if the situation couldn't get worse for Fairy Tail, Warren saw worse news heading towards them. "There's another one! He or she's in the town!" Makarov was surprised that three of the Twelve were here already.

Jet felt nervous after hearing that. "Three of them at once? This is getting hard to deal with."

Warren's eyes widened as he saw something else pop up on his radar. "No…no way…"

Droy didn't like the sound of Warren's voice. "What's wrong Warren?"

On the radar, Warren saw multiple blips on it and all of them were heading toward Fairy Tail. "There's another three hundred ships coming at us from the north and judging by the magic, there's at least three more of them on board. That's not all! We've got an army of similar size coming from the south as well with another three! We're trapped from all sides?!" Warren turned to the other guild members with a frightened look on his face with tears of fear coming out of his eyes. "And…the east…a giant army of at least one million people with another three…there's nowhere left for us to go…"

Makarov didn't know what say or even think about this drastic change in their situation. Something didn't seem right to Macao and Wakaba. "How did they manage to through the east?"

"What happened to Bosco?!"

Levy felt scared by all of this. "We didn't think they'd corner us from all sides."

Mest was feeling the pressure from all of this. "This is terrible!"

Terrible was right. Even Mavis didn't know what to calculate next or think up the next move. "No matter how you look at it…there's no winning this…"
