Job Thirty One: The Dragon vs The Adjudicator

Wahl was sent flying away after being struck by Laxus' attack. He skidded on the ground a few times before turning his body around and grabbed the ground while sliding to a complete stop. He was quite surprised how strong his opponent was and pieces of the ground began to float and shift shape. "Alchemically fuse copper and zinc…and drill them into nine-millimeter bullets!" All of the bullets he created were sent immediately toward Laxus. "Fire!"

The bullets were quickly closing in Laxus and before any of them could reach him, Laxus instantly vanished in a flash of lighting. That same kind of lightning destroyed the bullets and was headed over to where Wahl was. In the next second, a massive lightning bolt occurred where the two were. Lyon and Gray noticed it quite easily. "Lightning?"

Gray smiled as the lightning bolt vanished. "This kind of weather is normal for Magnolia." He turned around to see several Alvarez soldiers coming at them. "Sunny with a chance of Laxus." Gray threw his arm down and sent a large wave ice at the soldiers, effectively freezing them all solid. "Transitioning into freezing rain later in the day!"

Meanwhile, at the aftermath of Laxus' last attack, several of the houses were destroyed as result. As the smoke cleared around Wahl, he saw Laxus standing on top on the roof of the house in front of him. This fight was proving to be a little more fun than he thought. "Hey, you're pretty good, arent'cha? Let's see here." He locked onto Laxus and saw an x-ray of his body. "Analyze." Wahl gasped at what he saw was going on inside his opponent's body. "You…what the hell? Your organs are-" Laxus came at him full force before Wahl could finish what he was going to say. Wahl grinned as his left arm transformed into a fully robotic arm with the Alvarez emblem on his shoulder. Both of them attacked with their fists head on and a force of lightning flying out everywhere as a result. "You're quite something punk! How're you even alive right now anyway? There's no way you're human."

Laxus pulled back his left arm with his lighting surrounding it. "How am I alive? I never have and never will sweat the details." He struck Wahl right into the ground with enough power to destroy it. "It's all about how I live from here on out!"

Wahl thought what Laxus said earlier was amusing to him as he grinned. "Give me a break. You humans are always fixated on your little 'expressions' and 'morals'." Now his right arm became fully robotic. "Well, before you get your hopes up, hear me out. Lighting ain't going to do shit to me!" He quickly came back up and punched Laxus right back him with his right fist while cackling. "So, how do you want to die!? Think E-xtra hard!"

At the outskirts of Hargeon, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, and the rest of the Fairy Tail continued to fight against the Alvarez army. Erza cut down another of the soldiers and proceeded to move to the next but Kagura had something else in mind. "Erza! Let's proceed forward!"

Erza turned head at Kagura. "There are still enemies remaining here."

"No worries! We'll clean up the mess here!" Millianna called out.

Risley and Araña backed up the cat girl. "If you underestimate the mermaids, you're going to get burned!"

"Kagura, Erza! You head to the port!"

Hearing that caught Erza's attention. "The port?"

Kagura admitted Araña had a good point as she walked up to Erza. "The Spriggan Twelve…that female swordswoman, the alchemist, those two aside, yet another still awaits us in the port area." She stopped and turned to Erza. "The two of us shall join forces and eliminate him together."

Erza gave Kagura a confident smile. "Right."

Unbeknownst to them, Leone's lion ear happened to pick up the conversation but with all of the other noise in the battlefield, she could only pick up some parts here and there. However, it was good enough for her. "The port, huh? Sounds like the main action is happening there." She saw a group of Alvarez soldiers charging at her and grinned. "Guess I'll have to go through you bastards first!" Her arm glowed brightly and rushed at them. In the next moment, an explosion of light appeared and several of the soldiers screamed while flying in the air.

In another part of the battlefield, Wendy and Carla stood next to a topless Chelia while confronting Dimaria. Carla wrapped Chelia's body with Wendy's jacket. "Going topless in a war is unbecoming, you know. Here, you wear this for now. It's Wendy's."

Chelia appreciated Carla's kindness. "Thanks, Carla." She tried to put it on but experienced some…difficulties. "H-Huh? It's really tight on the chest."

Wendy heard the comment and felt a little self-conscious. "It's alright. I'm going to grow bigger. I'm going to grow bigger. I know it because I grew a little taller."

Dimaria smirked at her young opponents. "Pardon the interruption my precious pipsqueak duo. Need I remind you where exactly you are right now?"

Chelia managed to put on Wendy's jacket and readied herself this time. "Stay vigilant. This chick's magic is a complete mystery to me."

Wendy didn't need to be told twice. "Got it."

Obviously, Dimaria really can't take her three small opponents seriously. Especially in a situation like the one they're in now. "This is a battlefield, not some playground. For children like you to meander around in…"

"You're the ones responsible for turning the once peaceful Hargeon into a battlefield in the first place!" Wendy retorted. We'll take it back from your clutches, no matter what!"

Dimaria would gladly accept their challenge just of the fun of it. "So be it. But first, a warning: I show absolutely no mercy, not even to snot-nosed kids." She calmly and casually spread her arms apart. "To tell you the truth, I could kill you both with a snap of my fingers. You heard correct. In the blink of an eye, you two would be reduced to corpses."

Carla took up a defensive stance. "Here she comes!"

Dimaria grinned at the easy victory that was before her. "Indeed. A split second…from your perspective, that is." She made a clicking noise with her teeth.

Back at the town, Laxus' battle against Wahl continued. Laxus slid along a roof of a house while Wahl continued his assault. He came up close to the lightning dragon slayer and punched him out of his coat. Laxus went through several houses before landing on the roof of the next house and lightning surrounded his body. He leaped over to where Wahl was and kicked him down through the roof all the way to the ground. Wahl crashed on all fours and stayed there for a couple of seconds. "Analysis complete. He's afflicted by large quantities of Magic Barrier Particles which somehow infiltrated his body. However, this lug's magic power is still top-tier within Fairy Tail. With my current 'frivolous' personality setting, there is a possibility that I could get the carpet pulled out from under me." Light began to emit from his body. "Overwriting current personality setting to 'coldhearted'. Strengthening exoskeleton. Switching to Assault Mode. Setting 'Laxus' as sole target. Diverting all magic power to magic fusion over ignition." His body began to change shape. "Estimated timeframe for complete annihilation: Ninety seconds."

Laxus saw the light coming out of the hole he put Wahl in and looked down only to see a sphere of light quickly passing him by and then exploded massively behind him which burned the left part of Laxus' shirt. The explosion was massive enough for everyone to see. Ezra wondered what was she seeing. "What in blazes?"

Kagura was also mesmerized by the sight of the explosion. "The sky itself has been scorched?"

Leone punched a soldier's head off before looking up at the sky. "What the hell is going on now?!"

Smoke began to clear up from around Wahl. "Amending erroneous calculations…" Laxus felt sudden pain going through his body when all the while, Wahl stood up looking completely different. His appearance now was his body being completely cybernetic and a very serious look on his face. "Assault Wahl, ready for sortie."

Laxus couldn't believe the timing of his body attack and gripped his shoulder tightly. "Now, of all times…this damn body of mine…!"

The lightning dragon slayer gasped as he saw Wahl firing up the thrusters behind his back and flew straight at him. He struck Laxus in the chest and several smaller thrusters opened in his arm. They fired up and launched Laxus away while giving off a thunderous sonic boom that caused extra damage. Wahl was far from over with his attacks. "Confirming targets' current survival status. Engaging pursuit system." He fired multiple missiles out of his back and all of them were targeting Laxus. "Missile Bombardment: Fire!" All of the missiles struck Laxus at once and multiple explosions occurred. Wahl pointed his left arm forward and it opened up. "Anti-Matter Laser." He fired his laser right at Laxus and struck him. The attack managed to destroy Laxus' shirt. "Confirming target's current survival statues…" Wahl manifested a large railgun on his back. "Railgun Bombardment:" The Shield fired a powerful stream of electricity at Laxus. "Pierce the target!" Unlike the two previous attacks, Wahl's railgun attack didn't affect Laxus. In fact, the lightning surrounded Laxus' body and quickly headed back to him. "Miscalculation! Electric-type attacks are favored by this target!"

Laxus punched Wahl in the head and sent him flying through the streets. Wahl managed to stabilize himself. "However, my components are immune to electricity as well." He put his right arm forward and opened up to fire countless bullets at the lightning dragon slayer. Laxus dodged the bullets while closing in on Wahl. As soon as he came in close, Laxus delivered a lightning clad kick at the adjudicator. Wahl crashed through some crates and realized he'd miscalculated. "System error! Planned extermination time limit exceeded! System error! This human…" Wahl saw Laxus walking toward him but then saw that he dropped to one knee while coughing out blood. Wahl knew what was happening to Laxus. "It seems…the target's body has reached its limit. The Magic Barrier Particles contaminating the target's internal organs are interfering with his vital functions. It is therefore reasonable to assume that his mobility is severely limited and even the act of breathing is a painful task." Laxus breathed out painful gasps as he lied on the ground. Wahl finally stood up. "Even if mobility were still within his capabilities, his lightning attacks would be ineffectual. In chess, this situation would be referred to as 'checkmate'."

Laxus tried to move his body but it wouldn't listen to him and the breathing made it more difficult. "Damn it…god damn it…!"

Wahl pointed his right arm at the lightning dragon slayer and his palm began to glow. "With this attack, the target's death is assured. You should be grateful, human, the pain and suffering you've endured will soon be completely erased." He closed his eyes. "Along with your very existence." All Laxus could do was glare at his enemy angrily. The light in Wahl's palm was beginning to become brighter. "Commence loading of unlawful ammunition by means of Ethernano particle degradation. Magic fusion oven critical point breakthrough. Kill system: online." Wahl opened his eyes. "Etherion: Activate!"

Laxus still wasn't going to give up as he pushed his body up. "I came all this way for a single purpose…"

The light before Laxus obscured Wahl completely. "Vanish."

"To protect the guild at any and all costs!" Laxus began to draw on the ground with his index finger and a light followed wherever it went. "This guild, which has endured and persevered for hundred years…I won't let you lay a finger on it!" Runes appeared and circled around both Laxus and Wahl.

Wahl's attack was interrupted and couldn't process what was happening. "What…what have you done, human!?" He took a closer look and saw it really was. "A Jutsu Shiki barrier?! In the course of our frantic battle, he was able to conjure a magic circle of this magnitude?!"

Laxus was already back on one knee and felt a little proud of what he did. "The contents of this Jutsu Shiki barrier…were handed down directly from Freed!"

As impressive as the feat was, Wahl wasn't concerned about it in the slightest. "How unfortunate! It seems your memory capacity is lacking, human! Jutsu Shiki barriers are completely ineffectual against me!" He destroyed the entire circle surrounding them. "Magic Barrier Particle Nullifier!"

Wahl thought it was completely pointless for his opponent to perform a desperate last action spell that wouldn't affect him. That is until he noticed Laxus' breathing became easier and regulated as he was standing up. Laxus gave his enemy a devilish grin. "I owe ya one, Freed. There aren't many wizards in the world who can easily dispel one of your barriers. But if there ever was one, he could probably…render Magic Barrier Particles completely null and void! In other words…just the medicine the doctor ordered."

As soon as Wahl heard those words, he'd realized that Laxus tricked him into ridding the Magic Barrier Particles that was plaguing his body for the last year. "Shit! I've been played!" He let out a scream of frustration while steam was blowing out everywhere from his body. "MOTHERFUCKER! PERSONALITY SETTING ERROR! PERSONALITY SETTING ERROR!"

Lightning surrounded Laxus' body and charged at his enemy. "As much as it pains me to bare my fangs at my savior, you really did a number on my family! Savior or not, it's time to pay!"

Wahl let out a mechanical cackle. "AHYAHYAHYAHYAHY! ARE YOU DEAF, IMBECILE!? I AM IMMUNE TO LIGHTNING! POWERLESS! YOU'RE POWERLESS BEFORE ME! AHYAHYAHY! KUHAHAHA!"

Laxus could care less about what his opponent said about his lightning and struck him in the chest while lightning discharged out of the attack. "ALLOW ME TO ENLIGHTEN YOU…THE WEIGHT OF MY LIFE ALONE…DOESN'T EVEN COMPARE TO THEIRS!"

Wahl's eyes became checkered and grinned at the futility of Laxus' attack. "IT'S USELES-" He saw that the lightning coming out of Laxus was red for some reason now. "WHAT THE FU-?! DARK RED LIGHTNING?! ANALYSIS IMPOSSIBLE!" While Laxus roared out, he strangely recalled his conversation with Mavis back at Ryuzetsu Land during the Grand Magic Games.

"Yury?"

Laxus and Mavis were sitting next to each other by the pool. The first guild master smiled at the lightning dragon slayer. "He was Makarov's father so…that would make him your great-grandfather."

This was the first Laxus of heard of Yury. "So he was one of the founders of Fairy Tail? That old geezer, he never told me a damn thing."

Mavis leaned back using her arms. "You're the spitting image of Yury."

Laxus was interested in knowing more about his great-grandfather. "What kinda guy was he?"

Mavis recalled everything she knew about Yury. "He had a bright personality and had a knack for getting everyone around him in a cheerful mood."

Laxus huffed at that. "Sounds to me like we're not even from the same species."

Mavis continued about Yury. "And more than anyone, he kept his friends close. To him, they meant more than the entire world."

She remembered what Yury said to her all those years ago. "No matter what awaits us in the future, my one and only dream is to protect you. And last but not least, to believe in you to the bitter end."

Hearing that only furthered Laxus' opinion about his great-grandfather. "Like I said, we're nothing alike. A while back, I drove a wedge between the guild and made people choose sides. To this day, being back in the guild with everyone just doesn't feel right. I don't deserve it."

Mavis saw that in a different way. "But even so, you never let that prevent you from protecting your friends, isn't that right?" Laxus could only stare back at the first master. "In that regard, you and Yury are one and the same."

F

Laxus' red lightning attack went straight through Wahl's body and absolutely destroyed it into pieces. Alongside him was his great-grandfather, Yury, in spirit. "MERCURY FULMINATE-THUNDER GOD!" What remained of Wahl crashed on the ground while Laxus breathed out. He had won the fight against one of the Spriggan Twelve, the Adjudicator: Wahl Icht.
