AN: I know I've said this several times, but I'll definitely say it again. If there are any problems or errors with the fights in this chapter, let me know and I will correct them.


Texer lunged forward with his finger-blades at the ready, but Lily stepped in the way and blocked him with his sword. The clash of metal sent sparks flying before he shoved the dark guild mage away.

"I have no time to waste with you. Iron Dragon's Club!" shouted Gajeel turning his arm into a metal pole and extending it towards him, but Texer moved to the side and scraped his finger-blades across the pole, leaving a scratch that made the iron dragon slayer scream in pain before retracting the pole and returning it to normal.

"Gajeel!" exclaimed Levy in concern. "Are you okay?"

"I don't understand, how the hell could he hurt me?" asked Gajeel looking at the wounds on his arm caused by the opponent's attack.

"So you are Gajeel Black Steel. I must tell you that you picked the wrong opponent." said Texer.

"Ugh. That's why I didn't detect you in that forest. You reek of metal." said Gajeel.

"That's right." said Texer before causing sharp, metal blades to emerge from his arms. "My slashing magic allows me to turn my body into a metal blade capable of cutting through anything. Your metal attacks won't do you any good." said Texer.

"We'll see about that!" exclaimed Gajeel before inhaling air. "Iron Dragon's Roar!" shouted Gajeel firing a tornado composed of metal objects from his mouth.

Texer leapt towards the attack as his body filled with blades. "Mega Drill!" shouted Texer spinning his body quickly to form a metal drill that tore through the tornado as it shattered it, much to the iron dragon slayer's surprise.

Texer stood in front of Gajeel and before he could hit him...

"Solid Script: Fire!" shouted Levy writing the word 'Fire' which was made of fire that shot towards the slashing mage, forcing him to jump backwards.

"It won't be easy for you to defeat us all." said Lily readying himself with his sword.

"Maybe, but things may turn out differently." said Texer turning the bottom of his fingers into blades.


"So, which one of you wants to die first?" asked Darxs with a sinister grin before creating a black slime bubble. "Black Bubble!" shouted Darxs throwing the bubble towards them.

"How about none? Full-Body Take Over! Beast Soul!" shouted Elfman turning his body into that of a monster.

Thanks to the strength of his monster form, he was able to separate himself from the black sludge and then release his sisters before the bubble impacted the area they were in, filling it even more with black sludge.

"Thank you, brother." said Lisanna.

"A real man protects his family." said Elfman with a smile.

"That's nice. You've managed to free yourself, but let me tell you something." said Darxs raising his head a bit so that one eye showing pure madness could be seen. "No one escapes my tar magic. Once you fall, you sink to your death."

"It won't happen. We came to save our friend and we're not going to let a guy like you scare us. Take Over! Satan Soul!" shouted Mirajane turning into some kind of demon.

"Take Over! Animal Soul: Cat!" shouted Lisanna getting cat ears, tail, and claws with a different outfit.

"Magic Take Over, eh? Let's see how long it will take for you to sink into my tar." said Darxs.


"If we have to knock you down so we can continue, so be it!" said Gray putting his fist in his palm. "Ice-Make: Lance!" shouted Gray firing ice spears at the enemy.

"Cement-Make: Wall!" shouted Obrot raising a wall that blocked the attack. "Cement-Make: Floor!" shouted Obrot pointing his hands to the ground and causing a grayish liquid to cover the ground completely before solidifying, leaving the two mages trapped.

"What is this stuff?" asked Juvia.

"It's about my cement-make magic. It's very useful for creating indestructible constructions and killing meddling mages." said Obrot.

"Ice-Make: Floor!" shouted Gray freezing the cement floor which shattered into a thousand pieces, freeing himself and Juvia in the process. "Let's see which is harder, my ice or your cement."

"An interesting bet. I'll be happy to try it." said Obrot.


Lucy, Erza, and Wendy prepared to confront the two siblings in order to find Korra. They remained very cautious, as they weren't sure what kind of magic they had, despite what they did with the bones.

"Maru, you take care of the one in the armor. I'll take care of those girls." said Kimi.

"Great. Then I can have a lot of fun." said Maru with a sinister smile before launching himself towards Erza, who also did the same.

Just as Erza was about to hit him with her sword, Maru shielded the hit area with some sort of bony covering, much to Erza's surprise and confusion, which was a mistake, as Maru pulled out a bone sword from his arm that tried to hit her, but Erza managed to spot it in time and jump back to dodge it.

"What was that?" asked Lucy.

"You shouldn't be distracted." said Kimi pointing her fingers at the celestial mage and the sky dragon slayer "Bone Shot!" shouted Kimi as sharp bone bullets shot out of her fingers, but the two mages were able to dodge them.

"What kind of magic is that?" asked Erza.

"Since you asked, I'll tell you. My brother and I possess bone magic. A magic that allows us to extend our bones as much as we want, and not only that, but our bones are much stronger and harder than normal bones." said Kimi.

"Now I understand why it smelled like bones in that place." said Wendy.

"You should have left when you could, since you don't stand a chance against us." said Maru.

"I'm not leaving here without Korra!" exclaimed Lucy.

"As you wish. You just turned this place into your grave." said Kimi pulling two bone swords out of her hands, just like her brother.


Natsu was the first to launch himself at the spirit slayer with his fist wrapped in fire.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" shouted Natsu directing his fist towards him, while covering his hand in dark blue energy.

"Spiritual Fist!" shouted Gritchmen slamming his fist into the dragon slayer's, producing an explosion that pushed both away from each other.

Before the spirit slayer could do anything, Korra created a series of icicles which she shot forward and soon after, she began to shoot fireballs from her fists and kicks, sending ice and fire towards the enemy, but then, Gritchmen began to inhale air through his mouth.

"Spiritual Harangue!" shouted Gritchmen shooting a beam of dark blue energy from his mouth that destroyed the Avatar's attacks, who quickly erected a stone wall to protect both of them from the attack, but although the goal was achieved, the wall ended up destroyed in the process.

"That guy's pretty strong." commented Happy.

"Yeah. We'll have to tread carefully." said Korra.

"I'm surprised you were able to withstand those attacks. Congratulations. But that was just the warmup." began Gritchmen as his hands were enveloped in dark blue energy. "Now I'll get a little more serious."


"Solid Script: Oil!" shouted Levy writing the word 'Oil' in the air which expelled a stream of oil that covered the slashing mage with intent to immobilize him.

Lily lunged towards him with his sword poised to strike, but midway, Texer's arms filled with blades that began to spin rapidly.

"Spiral Saw!" shouted Texer using his spinning blades to free himself from the oil and launch himself towards the exceed with his arms outstretched to slash at him.

Lily put his sword in front to block the attack, but the spinning blades threatened to shatter his sword. It was then that he noticed something out of the corner of his eye and with a groan of effort, pushed the slashing mage aside.

Before he could do anything, Gajeel stood in front of him with his hands turned into hammers.

"Iron Dragon's Mallet!" shouted Gajeel slamming both hammers into him, sending him crashing into a wall.

"Very clever." said Texer getting up from the floor. "But that won't do you any good if you want to defeat me." said Texer before running towards the iron dragon slayer as he turned the underside of his fingers into blades. "Slashing Blades!" shouted Texer trying to hit Gajeel with his finger-blades, but Gajeel managed to cover his skin with iron scales that blocked the enemy's continuous slashes.

Texer continued with his slashes to Gajeel's metallic body until, suddenly, he managed to make a deep cut in him, making him wince from the pain, something he took advantage of to kick him backwards.

"Gajeel!" shouted Lily lunging towards the slashing mage with his sword at the ready, but he pulled a blade from his arm to block the blade.

With a shove, he pushed the exceed away from him and before he could do anything, Texer moved quickly until he was behind him with his arms outstretched and blades in his fingers. Soon after, Lily let out a cry of pain as an X-shaped cut formed on his body.

The exceed returned to his chibi form before collapsing to the ground.

"Lily!" shouted Gajeel horrified to see his partner like this, which made him growl in rage. "You'll pay for this!" exclaimed Gajeel turning his arm into a sword with spikes that began to spin, forming a sharp saw. "Iron Dragon's Sword!" shouted Gajeel lunging towards with the sword raised.

But then, Texer covered his arms with blades and brought them forward as a defense.

"Slashing Impact!" shouted Texer as Gajeel's sword hit him, only to end up cut into several pieces, which surprised the iron dragon slayer and before he could react, Texer hit him in the face so hard that it sent him crashing into a wall.

With two opponents down, Texer turned his attention to Levy, who was the only one left who was frightened by the situation.

"As you can see, you have no chance of defeating me." said Texer.

"I won't know that until I try! Solid Script: Thunder!" shouted Levy writing in the air the word 'Thunder', which shot an electric bolt at the enemy, but he jumped to the side to dodge it. "Solid Script: Hole!" shouted Levy writing in the air the word 'Hole' which stuck to the ground, in the area where Texer landed and when he touched it, he fell down a deep hole or that would have happened if he hadn't grabbed the edge with his finger-blades. Swinging his body a couple of times, Texer managed to launch himself out of the hole, but then... "Solid Script: Drill!" shouted Levy writing in the air the word 'Drill' which spun on its axis quickly, forming a drill that impacted against the slashing mage, pushing him until it impacted against the wall.

Levy let out a couple of gasps due to the effort she put into those attacks. Suddenly, Texer came out of the smokescreen and ran quickly towards her. Levy was so surprised by it that she couldn't do anything before Texer grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.

"Unlike my magic, yours seems to be used more at long range and that caused you to neglect your own defense." began Texer tightening his grip on her neck, causing Levy to start gasping for air. "If you thought you could defeat me with such pathetic magic, you must be stupider than I thought."

Suddenly, a fist covered in metal scales, struck Texer, pushing him back and causing him to let go of Levy who was caught by someone in a bridal position before falling to the ground.

Levy coughed a couple of times trying to catch her breath and when she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see that it was Gajeel who had saved her. She couldn't help but blush a little at the situation they were in.

"Touch her again and I swear I'll kill you." said Gajeel with a very serious tone.


"Black Jet!" shouted Darxs shooting from his hands a couple of jets of tar directly towards the siblings, but they ended up dodging them, the eldest, flying and the other two, jumping to the side.

Moving like lightning, Lisanna managed to get close to him and strike him with her claws, but before she could follow up with another blow, she felt her feet had stuck to the ground. Looking down, she discovered that she was standing over a puddle of tar.

"Huhuhu. You were fast there, but even the fastest being can get caught in my tar. Black Geiser!" shouted Darxs, causing a jet of tar to emerge from the ground, hitting Lisanna in the process and sending her crashing into the ceiling, getting stuck there in the process.

Suddenly, Elfman appeared at his side looking very furious.

"How dare you do that to my little sister?" asked Elfman directing his fist towards him, but Darxs managed to dodge the attack in time.

"Black Jet!" shouted Darxs shooting a jet of tar into the middle brother's eyes, making him scream in pain.

Darxs was about to launch another attack when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye and turned in time to see Mirajane flying towards him with dark energy in her hand.

"Evil Push!" shouted Mirajane extending her hand towards him, causing a force to violently push him into a wall, leaving a large crater from the impact. "If you mess with one of my siblings, you'll pay dearly."

"Very well. If you want to play that game, go ahead. Black Bubbles!" shouted Darxs forming huge tar bubbles that floated around the room. "You'd think that when you touch one, it would pop, but this case is very different." said Darxs before snapping his fingers, causing a bubble near Mirajane to burst.

Fortunately, Mirajane managed to get away from the affected area which was left full of tar. She quickly took to flying around the room, dodging the bubbles and their explosions caused by the tar mage.

Fed up with that, she began channeling dark magic into her hands.

"Soul Extinctor!" shouted Mirajane launching a blast of dark energy that pushed all the bubble tar into the wall.

"Huhuhu. Nice move, but let's see what you do with this." said Darxs as he began to expel tar from his fingertips. "Black Spider Web!" shouted Darxs waving his arms, causing the jets of tar to form a web which he flung towards the older sister.

Mirajane tried to fly out of the web's path, but it proved to be too big and ended up trapping her in the wall. She tried to free herself, but the sludge was too sticky, preventing her from moving arms, legs, wings, or tail.

"As I said before. No one can escape my tar and now I will make you sink to your death." said Darxs approaching the big sister, but then...

"Soul Animal: Penguin!" shouted Lisanna turning into a giant penguin, causing her to break free from the tar that kept her stuck to the ceiling as she fell on Darxs, who screamed in pain due to the weight of the animal.

She quickly shifted back to her cat form as she jumped away from him. Suddenly, Elfman stood in front of Mirajane and managed to pull her out of the tar net.

"Elfman! Are you okay? How are your eyes?" asked Mirajane worried about her younger brother.

"They still sting a little, but it's nothing a man can't handle." said Elfman with a toothy grin making the older sister smile.

That's when the three siblings heard a groan and looked over to see Darxs getting up with a groan.

"That's it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I'll kill you all!" exclaimed Darxs madly.


Obrot expelled liquid cement from his hands which solidified around him to form several solid cement fists.

"Cement-Make: Fists!" shouted Obrot sending the fists flying towards the two mages.

"Ice-Make: Arrows!" shouted Gray creating an arc of ice through which he shot huge icicles of ice that impacted against the enemy attacks.

"Water Slicer!" shouted Juvia taking advantage of the moment to launch a series of water blades.

"Cement-Make: Wall!" shouted Obrot raising a wall of grayish stone that blocked the water attacks easily. "My cement is so hard and tough that even the rain won't be able to melt it."

"Oh yeah? Let's see what you say now. Ice-Make: Ice Geyser!" shouted Gray causing a pillar of ice to erupt from under the cement mage, sending him flying into the air, which Juvia took advantage of by approaching him while covering her fist with water.

"Water Punch!" shouted Juvia slamming into Obrot and sending him crashing to the ground. "You won't be able to beat Gray and Juvia's love!"

"Ugh. Looks like you are tougher than I thought." began Obrot getting up. "I guess I'll just have to take this seriously then. Cement-Make: Floor!" shouted Obrot causing a grayish liquid to start covering the ground.

Gray and Juvia tried to dodge it, but the liquid quickly reached them and solidified, leaving them trapped again. Then Obrot expelled grayish liquid that solidified into several giant cement blocks.

"Cement-Make: Blocks!" shouted Obrot moving the blocks as if they were puppets.

"Ice-Make: Ice Cannon!" shouted Gray creating over his shoulder an ice bazooka with which he shot a missile, but at the last minute, the blocks were tossed aside. "What?"

Obrot made a couple of blocks come together to form a larger one with which he hit the ice mage in the stomach so hard that he ended up freeing him from his concrete prison and sending him crashing into the wall.

"Gray!" cried Juvia worriedly for her beloved.

"Don't worry, you'll be next." said Obrot gathering more blocks to make another bigger one which he sent to hit Juvia. But then, the cement block pierced Juvia, whose hit part had turned into water, much to the surprise of the cement mage. "What the hell...?"

"Juvia's body is made of water. It can't be harmed." began Juvia whose watery body part turned normal just as an aura of rage surrounded her. "Now you will pay for harming Juvia's beloved! Water Cyclone!" shouted Juvia launching a water cyclone towards the opponent.

Obrot was so surprised by Juvia's body of water that he was unable to block the attack that hit him directly and sent him crashing into the wall.

Obrot got up shortly after with a groan.

"This is starting to annoy me. Cement-Make: Floor!" shouted Obrot as the cement on the floor around Juvia turned liquid again and began to swirl around him.

Before Juvia could think to do anything, the liquid cement began to cover her until she was left inside a cement block.

"If I can't hit your water body, then I'll just have to lock you in." said Obrot when suddenly, he noticed how the air around him started to get colder. "So what happens now?"

He turned his gaze to the cause to see Gray rise from the ground, but what struck him most was that his right side began to be covered in a strange black cloak.

"You're going to pay for what you've done to Juvia." said Gray with a look so cold and sinister that it sent a shiver down Obrot's spine, for, unbeknownst to him, Gray had activated his ice devil slayer magic.


"Requip! Black Wing Armor!" shouted Erza changing her outfit completely along with a sword.

"Oh, you want to play knight, huh? Bone Defense!" shouted Maru with a crazy grin as his body was covered in bones like armor. "Very well. Let the game begin."

"Even the toughest armor can eventually break." said Erza.

"I'd like to see it. Bone Field!" shouted Maru causing sharp bones to emerge from the ground in the direction of Erza, who used the wings of her armor to fly high and dodge the attack.

"Moon Slash!" shouted Erza throwing from several sword swings, energy blades towards the bone mage, but he put his arms, which were covered in bones, in front by way of defense and although the attack knocked him back, it did nothing to damage the armor.

"Haha. It didn't even tickle me. Now it's my turn. Bone Swords!" shouted Maru pulling out two long, pointed bones from his arms.

Maru leapt towards Erza with his swords ready to strike. Erza was able to block them with her sword, but the force of that attack was so great that it pushed her back to the ground.

At that moment, the two entered into a sword duel. Despite the fact that he was using two swords, Erza was able to keep up with his attacks, but unfortunately, after a while, Erza's sword ended up breaking, much to her surprise, which the bone mage took advantage of to hit her with his sword. Erza managed to dodge it just in time, but part of her armor was hit and shattered by the attack.

"Looks like your armor isn't as tough as you said it was. I'm curious what's underneath." said Maru before pointing his fingers at her. "Bone Shot!" shouted Maru shooting out of his fingertips small bones sharp as bullets.

"Requip! Flight Armor!" shouted Erza as she changed her armor to one that had a different sword on it. "Sonic Claw!" shouted Erza as she began to move like lightning all over the place, striking Maru in every part of his bone-covered body.

Although his armor withstood the attacks, the force of each one meant that Maru could feel it, making him groan in pain.

Finally, Erza stood in front of him and kicked him under the chin, sending him flying upwards. While he was in the air, Erza appeared above him and kicked him in the stomach, sending him crashing to the ground, and although his bone armor was still intact, he could still feel the damage he received.

"When you fight someone, don't look at the armor he's wearing, but the person wearing it." said Erza.

"Ugh. Fucking bitch." said Maru as he stood up.

Erza quickly lunged towards him to hit him again with her blades, but suddenly, when she was very close to him, Maru smiled sinisterly and made bone spines erupt from her armor, which stuck into the red-haired mage, making her cough up some blood before she recoiled as she groaned in pain.

"HAHAHAHA. Not so tough anymore, huh?! That's what you get for messing with me!" said Maru with a very crazy grin. "Now die! Bone Field!" shouted Maru causing sharp bones to sprout from the ground in her direction, but before they could reach her, Erza mysteriously disappeared. "What the hell...?" asked Maru before Erza punched him in the face, sending him backwards. "B-But how...?"

"I've faced thousands of tough opponents. I won't go down for an attack like that." said Erza despite how hurt she was.

"Is that so?" asked Maru as she stood up. "Then I'll make you feel greater pain than you've ever suffered in your life!" exclaimed Maru with much madness and anger.


"Open the Gate of the Archer! Sagittarius!" cried Lucy summoning the aforementioned spirit.

"I am at your command." said Sagittarius.

"Wow. So you're a celestial mage, huh? Maybe I should capture you and turn you over to the master. I'm sure he'll want your spirits as appetizers before the big dish." said Kimi.

"They're nobody's food! They're my friends and I won't let Korra be that guy's food! Shoot, Sagittarius!" said Lucy.

"Right now." said Sagittarius starting to shoot several arrows towards the bone mage.

"Bone Defense!" shouted Kimi covering her body with bone armor with which she was able to block the spirit's arrows. "Nice trick, let me try. Bone Shot!" shouted Kimi extending her fingers towards them and firing from the tip of them a series of sharp bone bullets.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!" shouted Wendy inhaling air through her mouth then shooting a tornado that managed to repel the bone bullets. "Lucy, let's defeat it together. Then we can go after Korra as soon as possible."

"Roger that. Star Dress! Cancer Form!" shouted Lucy as her outfit completely changed along with a giant scissors that she separated into two swords.

"Vernier! Arms! Armor!" shouted Wendy casting defense, strength and speed enhancing spells on her, Lucy, and Sagittarius.

"Enhancement spells, huh? Go ahead, that'll make things more interesting. Bone Field!" shouted Kimi causing sharp bones to emerge from the ground in their direction, but they quickly dodged it.

Sagittarius began to launch another round of arrows, but despite the enhancement spell, Kimi's bone armor seemed to withstand them. Suddenly, Wendy leapt into the air with her arms wrapped in air.

"Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!" shouted Wendy launching two tornadoes at her, sending her crashing into the wall.

Quickly, Kimi used the wall she hit as a support to launch herself towards Wendy.

"Bone Sword!" shouted Kimi creating two bone swords with which she tried to hit Wendy, but then, Charle suddenly appeared, grabbed Wendy, and pushed her away in time to dodge the attack.

Before she could do anything else, Lucy stepped in front of her and tried to hit her with her twin swords, but the bone mage used hers to block it, leaving them in a stalemate as they fell to the ground.

When they both landed, they entered into a sword duel, where Lucy proved to be fast enough to intercept any of her opponent's attacks, though she was doing the same.

Suddenly, Kimi made a bone pop out of her elbow, trying to stab Lucy with it, but she managed to dodge it a few inches from her face, receiving a small cut in the process and forcing her to back away.

Kimi was about to launch herself at her with her swords at the ready, but then, she raised her head to see Wendy standing over her with her foot wrapped in air.

"Sky Dragon's Claw!" shouted Wendy directing her foot towards her, but Kimi raised her bone-covered arms in defense, allowing the sky dragon slayer's attack to impact there.

The force of the attack was so great that the ground beneath Kimi sagged slightly and she groaned from the effort to withstand the attack. It was then that sharp thorns erupted from the arm bones, striking Wendy's foot, and making her scream in pain.

"Wendy!" shouted Charle flying quickly and pulling her away from the bone mage. "Are you okay?"

"Yes. It's just my foot that hurts." said Wendy as she held the bloody foot with a groan of pain. "Don't worry, I'll use my magic to heal myself."

"Then hurry up. I don't think Lucy will last long against an opponent like her." said Charle before taking Wendy away from the fight to recover.

"Looks like it's just you and me left. Are you sure you don't want to leave?" asked Kimi.

"I told you! I'm not leaving here without her! Star Dress! Aquarius Form!" shouted Lucy changing her outfit again. "Sagittarius, you are dismissed."

"As you wish." said Sagittarius before disappearing.

"Open the Gate of the Golden Bull and the Goat! Taurus! Capricorn!" shouted Lucy summoning the two spirits.

"We will help you in any way we can, miss." said Capricorn.

"Moooo. I hope I get a kiss as a reward." said Taurus readying his weapon.

"Three against one. Don't you think it's a little unfair?" asked Kimi sarcastically.

"Not when it comes to saving someone. Come on, guys." said Lucy launching into a fight along with the two spirits.

Taurus was the first to attack trying to hit her with his golden axe, but Kimi managed to block it with her swords, even though she was pushed back a bit. Capricorn took advantage of that moment to approach her and hit her several times in the body. Although she was able to block them with the armor, she could feel the force of each blow.

Suddenly, the moment Capricorn connected his punch on the armor, Kimi caused thorns to sprout from there, making the spirit groan in pain as he retreated.

Taurus then slammed his axe into the ground, generating a ripple of earth that headed towards the bone mage.

"Bone Field!" shouted Kimi causing several bones to emerge from the ground in the direction of the spirit's attack, causing an explosion from the impact. "Bone Shot!" shouted Kimi shooting several sharp bone bullets from her fingertips.

Taurus swung his axe in a windmill shape, managing to block some bullets while others managed to stick in him.

"Lucy Kick!" shouted Lucy kicking the bone mage, knocking her back.

"Very well. Game over. Bone Field!" shouted Kimi causing bones to quickly erupt from the ground in Lucy's direction.

However, before they could reach her, Capricorn and Taurus grabbed Lucy and pulled her away, with them being on the receiving end of the attack.

"Guys!" shouted Lucy with concern.

"Calm down. We're very cool." said Taurus.

"That's what friends usually do, right?" asked Capricorn before disappearing along with Taurus.

"You..." began Lucy standing up with her head down, causing her hair to cover her eyes. When she stood up fully, an angry look could be seen. "How could you do that to my friends?"

"Friends? Bah. They're nothing but food to the master. Anyway, let's get this over with. Bone Swords!" shouted Kimi creating two bone swords and lunging towards Lucy at full speed.

But then...

"Leading Sky Arrow!" shouted Wendy appearing to the side suddenly with a leg wrapped in air that, when swung, threw a whirlwind that pushed Kimi backwards.

"Wendy! Are you okay?" asked Lucy.

"Yeah. I was able to heal up enough in time." said Wendy.

"Ugh. Damn brat. Bone Shot!" yelled Kimi shooting out of her fingertips lots and lots of pointy bone bullets.

"Let's do that, Wendy." said Lucy.

"Good." said Wendy before inhaling air. "Sky Dragon's Roar!" shouted Wendy shooting out of her mouth a tornado.

"Open the Gate of the Scorpion! Scorpio!" shouted Lucy summoning another spirit.

"Sand Buster!" shouted Scorpio shooting from his tail gun a sand tornado that combined with Wendy's tornado to form a combined attack, a Unison Raid.

The tornado of wind and sand repelled the bone bullets as it rushed towards the bone mage, who was helpless as the tornado impacted on her and pushed her until it violently impacted against the wall, producing a tremor so great that it shook the entire room.

Lucy and Wendy braced themselves in case their opponent could follow, which happened when, after the smoke cleared, they could see Kimi getting up with difficulty and a groan.

"Damn you... I'll kill you!" exclaimed Kimi in fury.


"Fire Dragon's Roar!" shouted Natsu inhaling air and shooting a stream of fire from his mouth towards the spirit slayer, but he jumped high to dodge high in the air.

While he was in the air, his hands were covered in dark blue energy that took the form of a pair of scythes.

"Spiritual Scythes!" shouted Gritchmen trying to slash at them with his scythes, but they jumped to the side to dodge them. "There is one thing you seem to have forgotten." began Gritchmen before moving quickly until he was in front of Natsu. "That I am the guild master." said Gritchmen before grabbing Natsu's face and slamming him to the ground.

"Natsu!" shouted Happy with concern.

Quickly, Korra launched a wave of wind, but Gritchmen jumped to the side to dodge it. When he landed on the ground, Korra sent a pillar of rock towards him, but he was able to step over it and use it as a path to get closer to the Avatar, but before he did, she threw a blast of wind at him that managed to knock him back.

"Keep it up. I like it when food fights back." began Gritchmen before leaping into the air as dark blue energy swirled in his arms. "Spiritual Wings!" shouted Gritchmen launching two streams of dark blue energy from his arms.

Korra immediately erected a thicker wall of rock than the previous one that managed to block the attack and then sent it crashing into him, sending him backwards.

"Hey!" Gritchmen turned his gaze into the air to see Natsu flying with Happy's help. "Don't forget about me! Come on, Happy!"

"Aye sir!" said Happy before swooping down towards him as Natsu went covering himself in fire.

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" shouted Natsu heading to lunge at him.

But then, Gritchmen covered his fist in dark blue energy.

"Spiritual Fist!" shouted Gritchmen slamming into Natsu, generating an explosion so loud that it knocked him back a little.

Suddenly, out of the cloud of smoke caused by the explosion, Natsu shot out with his elbow emitting flames.

"Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow!" shouted Natsu slamming his elbow into the spirit slayer's face shortly before covering his foot in flames. "Fire Dragon's Claw!" shouted Natsu delivering an axe kick over the spirit slayer's head before covering his fist in fire. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" shouted Natsu punching him in the face, sending him crashing into a wall.

Korra acted quickly to make the stone on the wall cover him from the neck down and then blasted a stream of water that froze, encasing him in a cocoon of earth and ice, hoping that would hold him back.

"Ha. Not so tough anymore, huh?" asked Natsu.

"You're trapped. We've got you beat." said Happy.

Suddenly, the three heard Gritchmen chuckle.

"What's so funny?" asked Natsu.

"It's been a long time since someone hit me like that and since someone held me like this." said Gritchmen before breaking free with a little effort from his prison, surprising the dragon slayer, the exceed and the Avatar. "I must congratulate you. You are the first to force me to use this technique." said Gritchmen as suddenly, the dark blue aura around him began to take the shape of four tentacles as the upper part of his face was covered in dark blue with white eyes as if he was wearing a mask. "I present to you my spirit form!"

While Natsu and Happy were amazed by the spirit slayer's new appearance, Korra was completely paralyzed. When she first started facing him, she felt an energy similar to that of a dark spirit, but now, his energy had increased so much that it had become almost equal to that of Vaatu, the darkest spirit in her world's existence.

In fact, seeing Gritchmen looking like that and having that energy was like seeing UnaVaatu again, the being that was born from the merger of Unalaq and Vaatu to become the Dark Avatar.

"Buah. And here I thought you couldn't get any uglier." said Natsu.

"Laugh all you want, Dragneel. Neither you nor your friend can defeat me while in this form. I'm invincible!" said Gritchmen.

"I don't care what you look like or how much power you have. You hurt my friend and I'm going to make you pay for it." said Natsu, leaving the Avatar shocked.

Korra had to admit that she was beginning to admire Natsu. Despite the power he was emitting, despite his terrifying appearance, despite the fact that there could be no chance of defeating him, he was still going on. All because of her. That was enough to put her fears and doubts aside and focus on fighting. She had defeated UnaVaatu before, so a little imitation shouldn't be that big of a deal, right?

Right?

"If you want to defeat me so badly, then come here and try." said Gritchmen.

"You asked for it." said Natsu leaping into the air as his arms emitted jets of fire. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" shouted Natsu trying to hit him with the jets of fire, but then, Gritchmen used his tentacles to block the attack, to Natsu's surprise.

"My turn." said Gritchmen before inhaling air. "Spiritual Harangue!" shouted Gritchmen shooting a beam of dark blue energy from his mouth that impacted directly against Natsu, sending him across the room.

"Happy, go check on Natsu! I'll take care of him!" said Korra.

"Understood." said Happy before going to check on his friend's condition. He wanted to stay and help Korra, but if they wanted to win, they would need the fire dragon slayer's help.

"I'm surprised you're not afraid. The last time I used this in front of a spirit, it shook to the bone." said Gritchmen.

"Trust me, you're not the first spirit person I've faced nor the most horrifying." said Korra preparing to fight.

"I see. Well, let's see if you still have that courage after this." said Gritchmen causing a sphere of dark blue energy to form in each hand. He then began to move his hands back and forth as the spheres left a line in their wake. Once he was done, Korra could see that he had formed a drawing of sorts. "Spiritual Constellation!" shouted Gritchmen as, from the corners of the drawing shot a beam of dark blue energy that joining together, formed an even larger beam.

Quickly, Korra used airbending to move out of the impact zone seconds before the attack arrived. After rolling a bit on the ground, she launched a blast of fire, but Gritchmen blocked it with his tentacles before sending them toward her.

Using what little water she had, Korra created a large water whip with which she fought off the enemy's tentacles. Every time one of Gritchmen's tentacles came near, she whipped it away and he did the same to her.

Wanting to end it, Korra turned the tentacle into a jet of water that she threw at him, but he dodged to the side to dodge it before making the tips of his tentacles into scythes.

"Spiritual Scythes!" shouted Gritchmen sending his tentacles towards her, but Korra created an air scooter with which she quickly moved to escape the attack.

Using the air scooter, Korra moved around the room quickly to confuse the enemy. Often, Gritchmen would throw his scythes at her, but Korra dodged it by a hair's breadth. Literally. On a few occasions the blade was so close that she missed a few hairs.

Finally, Korra managed to get behind Gritchmen, undo the scooter with a leap and then launch a blast of wind so powerful that it knocked the spirit slayer down.

Soon after, Gritchmen stood up, sporting a look of annoyance as he gritted his teeth in frustration and before he could move, Korra had a pillar of earth hit him from the side before sending a wave of fire at him that knocked him down again, which pissed him off even more.

"Damn you." said Gritchmen before standing up and forming two spheres of dark blue energy and then swinging his arms as the spheres left a trail in their wake until they formed a pattern with many more corners. "Spiritual Constellation!" shouted Gritchmen as beams of energy shot out from the corners and combined into a larger one.

Korra quickly darted to the side to dodge it, but then, Gritchmen appeared at her side with his fist wrapped in dark blue energy. "Spiritual Fist!" shouted Gritchmen punching Korra in the face, sending her crashing into the wall.

Korra groaned as she tried to get up, but that punch had hurt both her and Raava, adding to her pain and making it difficult for her to get up. Before she could struggle any further, Gritchmen grabbed her arms and legs with his tentacles to immobilize her.

"Impressive. Of all the spirits I've faced, you've lasted the longest in a fight against me. Especially in this form. It's a shame I have to kill you and devour your spirit." said Gritchmen approaching her and extending his hand to reach for her.

Korra was trying with all her might to break free of her bindings to get the spirit slayer away from her, but she was beginning to think all was already lost.

"Get away from her!" shouted Natsu punching the spirit slayer in the face, sending him flying to the side, causing him to release Korra from his grip.

"Haven't you ever been told not to interrupt other people's meals, Dragneel?" asked Gritchmen.

"Shut up, Korra's not your food, she's my friend!" exclaimed Natsu rising up with fire spheres in his hands which he gathered together to form a larger one. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" shouted Natsu throwing the fire sphere towards him who started inhaling air.

"Spiritual Harangue!" shouted Gritchmen shooting a beam of dark blue energy from his mouth that impacted against the fire sphere, producing an explosion that created a curtain of smoke.

Suddenly, Natsu shot out of the smokescreen and grabbed his face with his hand.

"Fire Dragon's Grip Strike!" shouted Natsu expelling a blast of fire from his hand that covered him completely, making him scream in pain.

Natsu stepped back a bit to see the spirit slayer gasping for air as small parts of his body were burned from the attack.

"You've already succeeded in pissing me off." said Gritchmen causing the dark blue energy of the tentacles to intensify. "Spiritual Wings!" shouted Gritchmen directing the tentacles towards the fire dragon slayer to strike it.

Natsu moved from side to side, managing to dodge the tentacles, but then, Gritchmen appeared in front of him with dark blue energy scythes in his hands.

"Spiritual Scythes!" shouted Gritchmen hitting him with his scythes and sending him backwards, but Natsu somersaulted to steady himself in the air while creating fireballs in his hands.

"Fire Dragon's Shots!" shouted Natsu shooting several fireballs towards the spirit slayer who managed to block them with his tentacles, although that caused him some damage.

Fed up with this, Gritchmen launched himself towards Natsu at full speed while covering his fist with dark blue energy.

"Spiritual Fist!" shouted Gritchmen slamming into the fire dragon slayer, sending him crashing into a wall and before he hit the ground, Gritchmen stood in front of him and grabbed his neck tightly. "You're lucky I'm not going to eat you. They say dragons have a bad taste."

"D-Damn you." said Natsu groaning from the spirit slayer's tight grip.

Korra was off to the side, lying on the ground, watching with wide eyes as the one who fought valiantly to protect her was about to die. It was like when Amon was about to use his ability on her friend Mako. She couldn't allow it, she couldn't stand by and watch him kill her friend.

"Say goodbye to your life, Dragneel." said Gritchmen covering his hand with dark blue energy, but suddenly, he froze, as he began to feel an overwhelming surge of power. "W-what is...?"

Before he could wonder what that was, a powerful gust of wind pushed him away from Natsu and sent him crashing into a wall.

Both Natsu and Gritchmen turned to the source of the attack only to be dumbfounded, for there stood Korra upright and her eyes glowing. Both mages could feel how the Avatar's power had unexpectedly increased.

"Leave him alone, you bastard!" exclaimed Korra in an echoing voice.


"It sounds like she's someone important to you. In that case, I'd better kill you first so you don't see how I kill her later." said Texer.

"Listen to me well. You can take one of us, beat us up or even try to kill us, but there is one thing where you made the biggest mistake of your life." said Gajeel.

"And what is that?" asked Texer.

"Underestimating Fairy Tail!" exclaimed Gajeel as his body shadows began to swirl around him and soon after, Gajeel was seen covered in iron scales, but also with shadows emitting from his body. "Iron Shadow Dragon Mode!"

"I admit I'm surprised that you've increased your magical power like that, but that won't stop me from cutting you with my magic." said Texer in a monotone manner before lunging towards him with his finger-blades. However, when he cut him, Gajeel disappeared. "What?"

Suddenly, Gajeel appeared on the ceiling above him.

"Iron Shadow Dragon's Club!" shouted Gajeel turning his arm into a metal pole that stretched it out to strike the slashing mage in the back, sending him crashing to the ground.

Texer stood up and had his arms covered in blades that began to spin rapidly.

"Spiral Saw!" shouted Texer jumping up to try to hit Gajeel, but again, he disappeared and reappeared behind him before hitting him, sending him back to the ground.

"Like I told you. Underestimating us was a big mistake on your part." said Gajeel after reappearing on the ground.

"I suppose you may turn out to be right, but it's also a mistake on your part to underestimate me." said Texer before jumping up, covering his entire body in large sharp blades, and starting to spin around rapidly like a ball, thus forming a sphere of blades. "Slashing Wheel!" shouted Texer rolling quickly towards him.

"I never underestimated you." said Gajeel before inhaling air. "Iron Shadow Dragon's Roar!" shouted Gajeel shooting a beam of shadows and metal shards from his mouth that impacted against the cutting wheel.

Both attacks remained neutral, with Gajeel's attack trying to overpower the other and Texer's attack trying to cut off the other's attack.

Shortly thereafter, Texer was unable to withstand the power of the attack and Gajeel's beam eventually overpowered and consumed him, producing an explosion in the process that shook the entire room.

By the time the smoke cleared, Texer was seen lying unconscious on the ground with remnants of his blades lying around him.

Seeing that his opponent had been defeated, Gajeel returned to his normal state in time to receive a hug from Levy.

"Huh? What's that for?" asked Gajeel.

"Thank you... for saving me earlier." said Levy raising her head with a slight blush.

A very slight blush formed on the dragon slayer's face who looked away to the side.

"Well, someone has to take care of you, little one." said Gajeel making Levy chuckle as she knew his personality very well.

"If you two have stopped flirting, can we continue?" asked Lily having been able to get up despite his injury.

Remembering the situation they were in, the three continued on their way in search of their otherworldly friend.


"Black Geiser!" shouted Darxs causing jets of tar to spew out of the ground with intent to hit the three siblings, but they were able to dodge them all.

Quickly, Lisanna came up behind him again and swiped at him with her claws, then Elfman appeared in front of him as he went airborne and slammed him upwards, sending him crashing into the ceiling of the room before falling to the ground.

"Surrender at once. A real man knows when the fight is over." said Elfman.

"Surrender? No... No..." began Darxs as he slowly got up with a groan. "I'm not going to lose! I will make you all sink into my tar and die!" shouted Darxs before stretching his arms towards the ground. "Black Tsunami!" shouted Darxs causing a wave of tar to rise from the ground and head towards the three siblings.

Before any of them could do anything, the wave broke and all the tar fell on them, completely engulfing the entire tar room, except for Darxs who remained standing on the mud.

"Huhuhu. I already told you that everything that falls on my tar sinks." said Darxs before suddenly all the tar started to shake like water during a storm. "But what the...?

Suddenly, an explosion happened in the middle of the tar lake that splashed some jets. When Darxs looked forward, he was horrified to see Mirajane in her Halphas Form, flying on top of the tar with her two siblings clinging to her.

"Phew. That was a close call," said Elfman in his human form.

"Yes. Thank you, big sister." said Lisanna in her human form.

"H-How did you... How the hell did you survive?! No one escapes my magic!" shouted Darxs in anger and madness.

"You dared to harm my siblings. You deserve the ultimate punishment for it." said Mirajane before pointing her hand at him as she charged a purple and blue energy. "Halphas Blast!" shouted Mirajane shooting a purple and blue beam.

As soon as that beam hit the target, there was an explosion so large that it shattered the entire room, even knocking down all the ceilings above it until the outside could be seen, where the explosion could also be seen.

By the time the smoke cleared, Mirajane landed on the ground, returning to her human form and she and her two siblings looked over to see Darxs completely knocked down.

"Good thing it's over." said Lisanna.

"Yes. Come on, we have to find Korra." said Mirajane before leaving the room with her siblings.


"Tsk. I don't know what kind of shtick you just pulled, but it won't do you any good." said Obrot.

"Let's see if you keep saying that." said Gray before inhaling air. "Ice Devil's Rage!" shouted Gray shooting a blizzard of cold air, snow, and purple ice from his mouth.

"Cement-Make: Wall!" shouted Obrot raising a wall to protect himself, but the attack ended up breaking it with ease and before Obrot could comprehend what had just happened, the attack hit him as well, sending him crashing into the wall.

"Ugh. Looks like I underestimated that power of yours." said Obrot through broken glasses and spitting out his cigar. "Guess I'll have to go all in." said Obrot expelling liquid cement which solidified to form several blocks around him. "Cement-Make: Blocks!" shouted Obrot throwing the blocks towards the ice devil slayer.

"Ice Devil's Laughter!" shouted Gray shooting several purple ice icicles towards the blocks, managing to break some, but the others went in another direction due to the cement mage. Obrot put the blocks together to form a larger one which he sent towards him, but Gray created a purple ice sword with his hands. "Ice Devil's Zeroth Long Sword!" shouted Gray cutting the block with the sword in half whose pieces froze into purple ice before shattering into pieces.

Needless to say, the cement mage was in shock at what he just saw.

"N-No way. My cement should be unbreakable!" said Obrot with fear in his voice.

"Even the hardest stone can eventually break from the cold." said Gray.

Obrot let out an angry growl at the comment.

"I'll finish you!" exclaimed Obrot before extending his hands towards him. "Cement-Make: Tornado!" shouted Obrot hurling a tornado of liquid cement at him. "Once it catches you, you will sink into it and when it solidifies, you will die."

The tornado covered Gray completely and Obrot smiled superiorly believing he had won, but then, much to his shock, the tornado immediately froze into purple ice before shattering into pieces showing Gray completely unharmed.

Before Obrot could try to think of anything, Gray lunged at him with a fist covered in purple ice.

"This is for Juvia! Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Fist!" shouted Gray punching him in the face, causing him to freeze into a block of purple ice shortly after.

Gray gasped heavily as his devil slayer magic deactivated before quickly running into the rain cement prison. Before his devil slayer magic deactivated at all, he froze and broke Juvia's prison, freeing her and trapping her before she fell to the ground.

"Juvia, are you all right?!" asked Gray.

Juvia groaned slightly before opening her eyes, Gray being the first thing she saw.

"Gray!" cried Juvia jumping in to hug him tightly, knocking him to the ground in the process. "Oh, Juvia knew Gray loved Juvia." said Juvia with a joyful smile.

"Let go of me, Juvia! We don't have time for this!" said Gray trying to pull the water mage away from him.

"No! Juvia won't let go of you!" said Juvia tightening her grip, much to the ice mage's annoyance.


"Requip! Purgatory Armor!" shouted Erza as she switched her armor back together with a giant mace.

"No matter how much armor you wear! I'll break them all!" exclaimed Maru as his arm bones grew and gathered together to form a spear and soon after, he launched himself straight at her. "Bone Spear!" shouted Maru aimed to thrust his spear at her.

However, Erza struck the spear with her mace, managing to stop it, much to the surprise of the bone mage who was pushed back.

"Damn bitch. Bone Field!" shouted Maru causing sharp bones to emerge from the ground in the redhead's direction, but she jumped high in the air to dodge it.

After somersaulting through the air, Erza landed on top of him with the mace in front of him. Maru put his arms overhead to block it, but the moment the mace impacted him, the ground beneath Maru sank quite a bit and small cracks formed in the bones.

Erza stepped away from him, as the bone mage looked at the cracks in his bones in horror.

"I-Impossible. This shouldn't happen!" exclaimed Maru madly.

"I told you. Even the toughest armor can eventually break." said Erza pointing her mace at him.

Maru began to snarl as her eyes emitted pure anger and madness.

"Damn you!" shouted Maru creating a spear of bones in both of his arms before lunging towards her like a missile. "I'll kill you!"

But then, despite the weight of the mace, Erza was able to jump in time to dodge him and when she found herself on his back, she slammed her mace into him, managing to break his bone armor and sending him crashing into the ground so hard that it created a small crater.

"Y-You..." groaned Maru who was still conscious directing his gaze to the redhead standing next to her.

"I hope this fight taught you a lesson. Armor doesn't work if the wearer isn't strong." said Erza before kicking him in the face, knocking him unconscious.


"I've had enough of you! I'm going to kill you! You should have left when you could!" exclaimed Kimi extending her arm bones to form two spears before launching herself towards them at full speed. "Bone Spear!" shouted Kimi as she shot towards them.

"I'm not going to die! I'm not backing down! I'm not leaving here... without my SISTER!" shouted Lucy.

"What?" asked Kimi confused at the celestial mage's words.

"Water Barrier!" shouted Lucy creating around her and Wendy a dome of water.

"A little water won't stop me!" exclaimed Kimi directing her spear forward, but as soon as it hit the water dome, it stopped, much to the bone mage's shock. "What?!"

As Kimi backed up a couple of steps, the water dome came apart and Lucy was seen with muddy water in her hand.

"Aqua Metria!" shouted Lucy throwing her arm forward, causing huge waves to erupt from the earth and directly hit the bone mage who screamed as she was swept away by the waves.

When the muddy water dried up, the two mages could see Kimi in the middle of the room soaking wet and unconscious. Lucy returned to her normal attire before collapsing to her knees.

"Lucy, are you all right?!" asked Charle.

"I am. Just a little exhausted." said Lucy.

"Where's Erza?" asked Wendy looking around.

"I'm here." said Erza approaching in her usual armor. "You've both done very well."

"Let's not waste any more time." began Lucy getting up. "We have to save Korra right away."

"Who knows. Maybe the others have already found her." said Wendy.

"But they could have also run into some obstacle along the way." said Charle.

"Then let's go check it out." said Erza hurrying to the exit with the others.

As they ran along, Lucy hoped that indeed someone had found Korra earlier and they were both safe somewhere, but a part of her was worried, for in that place was the guild master who was a spirit slayer. She feared that Korra or someone else was confronting him at the moment and if so, she hoped nothing would happen to her.


Gritchmen was scared. No. He was terrified. He had seen the level of magical power in Natsu and the Avatar (despite having no magic) during the fight and it was nothing compared to his power, but now the Avatar's power had increased to levels he couldn't comprehend, a level of power that seemed to match his own.

Korra began to walk towards him as the spirit slayer abandoned his fear and surprise to give way to anger and madness.

"I don't care what you've done! I will kill you and devour that spirit inside of you.!" exclaimed Gritchmen, causing the Avatar to stop when she was half a distance away from him.

"Why don't you try?" asked Korra with an echo in her voice.

Gritchmen let out a cry of rage as he threw a tentacle towards her, but the Avatar slapped him back, much to the spirit slayer's surprise. Gritchmen tried to swipe at her with his tentacles, but each time one came close, she swatted it away with a single swipe.

Meanwhile, to one side of the fight, Natsu and Happy stood watching in amazement.

"Wow. What happened to Korra? She's so much stronger than she was in our fight." said Natsu.

"It's the Avatar State." said Happy impressed at the sight of it.

"The what?" asked Natsu looking at his partner with a confused look.

Happy sighed at his friend's ignorance.

"Don't you remember, Korra explained it to us days ago." said Happy receiving a confused look from the fire dragon slayer, confirming that he hadn't heard anything or had forgotten. "It's when all the avatars merge into one, thus increasing her power."

"Oh, I see." said Natsu turning his attention back to the battle.

Gritchmen was fed up with Korra swatting his tentacles away like mosquitoes.

"Damn her!" shouted Gritchmen before inhaling air. "Spiritual Harangue!" shouted Gritchmen shooting a beam of dark blue energy from his mouth.

But then, Korra stretched her arms forward and made the energy beam deflect and pass by her sides.

Needless to say, Natsu, Happy and Gritchmen were surprised by them. Although, in Gritchmen's case, that surprise turned to hatred.

"You will not defeat me!" exclaimed Gritchmen, forming two spheres of dark blue energy in his hands. He then began to move his hands from place to place as the spheres left a trail in their wake until they formed a pattern. "Spiritual Constellation!" shouted Gritchmen as, from the corners of the drawing, beams of energy shot out and combined into a larger one.

But again, Korra extended her arms forward and managed to block the energy beam.

That only made the spirit slayer's hatred increase.

"I've had enough! I don't care if I can't eat you! I'll finish you!" exclaimed Gritchmen having lost all sanity. "SPIRIT SLAYER'S SECRET ARTS!" began Gritchmen as he made to gather all the dark energy, unraveling the tentacles in the process, thus forming a ghost-like figure. "SUPREME SPIRITUAL SOUL!" shouted Gritchmen sending the ghostly figure flying towards her.

"Korra!" shouted Natsu drawing the Avatar's attention as he emitted fire around him. "Use This! DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ARTS!" shouted Natsu as the fire around him took the shape of a bird. "CRIMSON LOTUS: EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!" shouted Natsu as he swung his arms around and unleashed towards the Avatar powerful, large, spiraling blasts of fire.

Understanding what he was doing, Korra manipulated the flames of the attack, causing them to swirl around her. As she did so, she added water, earth, and wind to the attack. Then, she raised all of that over her head while also adding some energy to it with the help of energybending.

Needless to say, the spirit slayer was surprised by it, as well as scared.

"Gritchmen. You'll never hurt any spirit ever again. Avatar Dragon's Elemental Blast!" shouted Korra in an echoing voice before launching the combined elemental attack at him.

The elemental attack collided with the dark energy ghostly figure. Both attacks remained neutral until the enemy attack was completely undone and the elemental attack continued its path towards the spirit slayer who let out a scream before the attack hit him, resulting in a powerful explosion.

Korra came out of the Avatar State in time for the smoke to dissipate completely, allowing her to see the dark guild master knocked down completely.

Korra gasped slightly due to the effort put into that attack before she felt a strong slap on her back that nearly knocked her down.

"Good job, Korra! You got him to bite the dust!" said Natsu congratulating her.

"Aye sir! That last attack was awesome!" said Happy.

Korra blushed a little at the congratulations from the two.

"Thanks guys." said Korra just as she startled as she felt something.

Turning quickly towards the spirit slayer, the three of them watched as small spheres of energy of various light colors shot out of his body and rose into the air before disappearing.

"What are those?" asked Happy.

"They're spirits. All the spirits that Gritchmen has devoured." said Korra surprised at that.

"I guess now that we've defeated him. They'll be able to go home." said Natsu.

"Yes. You're right." said Korra with a smile as, unbeknownst to the others, she could feel those spirits thanking her for saving them.

"Korra!" the three of them turned around to see the other guild members entering the room, Lucy being the first, who was running faster than the others.

"Lucy?" asked Korra surprised to see her before the celestial mage gave her a hug, much to her surprise.

"You're okay! I'm so glad you are! I was so worried!" said Lucy letting out small tears.

"I don't understand. What are you all doing here?" asked Korra surprised to see them all.

"What does it look like to you? We're here for you." said Mirajane.

"You all... came all this way... for me?" asked Korra.

"Of course we did." said Gray.

"You may be from another world, but you are also a member of our guild. Of our family." said Erza.

"And when one of our own is in danger, we all come to their aid. That's Fairy Tail for you." said Wendy.

Korra was shocked at that. She knew that everyone in the guild treated each other like family from what she had been told, but she hadn't expected that such a family would go to such lengths just to help one of them. She was so moved she could burst into tears.

"Wait!" said Lucy pulling away from the embrace. "Korra, we have to go fast. There's a spirit slayer somewhere."

"I don't think we should worry about that." said Korra with a smile.

"What do you mean?" asked Gajeel.

"I think to that." said Lily pointing to Gritchmen who was still unconscious.

"What happened here?" asked Charle.

"You had to have seen it. Korra defeated him by going into Avatar State!" said Happy.

"You used the Avatar State?" asked Lucy in surprise, since she DOES remember when Korra told them about it.

"Yes. And in Natsu's words, I kicked his ass." said Korra causing the fire dragon slayer to burst out laughing.

"Hahaha. Nice one. Hahaha." said Natsu trying to contain himself.

"So what do we do with them?" asked Korra referring to Gritchmen and the other guild members.

"First let's get out of this place. Once we do, we'll inform the authorities so they can deal with them." said Erza.

"Sounds good to me." said Korra before turning to the celestial mage. "Shall we go?"

"Yes. Let's go back." said Lucy with a smile.

With all that said and done, the Avatar and the mages left with the intention of returning to Magnolia to heal from the damage they had received and be able to rest comfortably.
