Perim is in great peril because of Acnologia. Ever since he was free, destruction and mayhem has followed him around and he continues to spread. He's been attacking location after location. Many have tried to stop him, but none have succeeded. His power appears to know no bounds. While he might only be one creature, this one creature has caused great harm to so many. That is why something is being done in Kiru City.
"Are you guys sure we should be here?" Lucy questioned. Natsu and the others were in Kiru City as well and were waiting outside a building that was being guarded.
"It will be fine." Natsu said.
"Fine?" Zach questioned. "The four tribe leaders are gathering together. Do you know how rare that is? They wouldn't do that unless something really big was going on."
"Something is, remember?" Erza said. "This meeting is about what to do about Acnologia, not to mention Drevex and Siegfried."
"My point is that there's no way we'll be able to see what's going on. They won't let us through." Zach said.
"Just wait it out. The other tribe leaders haven't gotten here yet." Natsu said. "I want to know what they're going to do about Acnologia. I would like to get a shot at Siegfried myself."
"Natsu, I know you like to help, but this might be out of our hands." Lucy said. "It's probably best that we just leave this to the creatures since they can do a lot more than we can." Natsu hated being reminded of that, but he doesn't care. If there's anything Natsu can do help them, he'll take it.
"Here they come!" Zach said as they watched and saw a few vehicles pull up to the building and they saw it was Chaor, Prince Mudeenu, and Odu-Bathax. The three of them stepped inside and Natsu was getting ready to make his move.
"Follow me. I know a way we can sneak inside." Natsu said as the four of them hurried. Maxxor held this meeting of the four tribal leaders.
Thank you for coming. I assume you all know what this is about." Maxxor said.
"Yeah. That rotten Acnologia." Chaor said.
"He has proven to be quite a threat." Mudeenu said. "We haven't encountered a threat this great since Tangath Toborn... Well, you know." He stopped since that was a hard time for Maxxor.
"Agreed. Which is why we need to stop him. Acnologia is a threat to us all and must be stopped." Maxxor said. As this meeting went on, Natsu and the others were able to sneak inside and they listened on the conversation. "We must do something. Acnologia's destruction rains down across all of Perim.
"Chaor, you actually faced this dangerous creature. What can you tell us?" Odu-Bathax questioned.
"All I can say is that he's unlike anything we've faced before." Chaor said. "No mugic, attacks, or battlegear worked on him. He completely desiccated my forces. I've never seen anything like it."
"How could one creature be so powerful?" Mudeenu questioned.
"No creature is without some flaw or weakness. There must be one." Maxxor said. The four of them tried to think of some way for them to put a stop to him once and for all.
"Do you guys really think they can beat Acnologia?" Lucy asked.
"They've got to or else Perim could be in real danger." Erza said. "Remember what Sepherad's ghost told us. It's not enough to seal him away. Acnologia must be destroyed."
"But how when it seems like nothing can stop him?" Zach said.
"There's got to be a way." Natsu said as they all tried to think like he did.
"Maxxor!" One of the guards came running in the meeting hall. "Acnologia has been spotted just a few miles outside of Kiru City! He could be heading this way!"
"He's here?!" Maxxor said.
"Well, this should be fun." Chaor said. "Ready your troops, Maxxor. We'll take the fight to him."
"No." Maxxor said with them a little shocked. "Regular troops won't be enough to face this threat. The four of us will go alone. If the four of us work together, perhaps we can stop him. We're going to need some extra battlegear and mugic." The four of them were in agreement and headed out.
"Are the four of them enough to face that animal?" Zach said.
"Let's go find out." Natsu said as he hurried after them.
"Why do we always have to follow him into trouble?" Zach questioned.
"Because we can't let him go alone." Lucy said with all of them going.
...
Acnologia
Acnologia was in the middle of nowhere with Drevex and Siegfried. While they were there, Siegfried was working on a strange device thanks to the equipment that he stole from Ulmar a while back.
"It's almost ready. It will soon begin." Siegfried said.
"Excellent." Acnologia said.
"How do you even know how to work that thing?" Drevex questioned.
"I've studied a lot of battlegear from this world. I've picked up a thing or two." Siegfried said. "All you need to know Drevex is that things are about to have a drastic change." Drevex didn't understand, but he follow his master's will.
"It looks like we're about to get some unwanted visitors." Acnologia said. They looked in the distance and they could see someone was coming. "Get the device ready, Siegfried. I'll handle this." He flew over to face what was coming. He flew over to see Maxxor and the other tribal leaders heading their way.
"There he is!" Chaor said as they all came to a stop. Maxxor jumped out with him wearing some armor.
"So you're Acnologia." Maxxor said.
"And I take you're the famous Maxxor I've heard about." Acnologia said. The four of them stepped forward and were ready to face him. "This could be interesting. Four creatures from each tribe here to actually challenge me."
"You're reign of terror on Perim has to come to an end." Maxxor said. "Just what do you hope to gain by bringing down endless destruction wherever you go?"
"Gain?" Acnologia said. "Isn't that the very nature of us creatures?! We battle, we fight, we strike against one each other, even if we're from the same tribe. It's been going on for as long as any creature can remember and will continue to go on. So I've decided I'll be the one to bring an end to all this by bringing an end to everything!"
"That's just crazy!" Chaor said.
"While it's true that the four tribes have been at odds with each other, things change and prosper for the better over time." Mudeenu said.
"No matter. No one can stop me! Not even the four of you!" Acnologia said as he unleashed an attack at the four of them, but they jumped out of the way.
"Telekinetic Bolt!" Mudeenu was the first one to attack as he hit Acnologia with the attack and pushed him back. Chaor and Odu-Bathax attacked together as they used Power Pulse and Ash Torrent, but Acnologia released some of his power and shielded himself from the attacks.
"Shadow Strike!" Acnolgoia unleashed the attack and it smashed into all three of them.
"Power Punch!" Maxxor used his attack and blasted Acnologia with it, but he brushed it aside.
"Psycho Drain!" Acnologia unleashed his attack and blasted Maxxor with it. Maxxor's armor protected him from harm, but he could feel his power being drained. As the fight was going on, Natsu and the others arrived and saw it going on.
"They've already started fighting!" Lucy said.
"And it already doesn't look good." Zach said. Natsu couldn't just stand around to watch. He wanted to go over, but Lucy held him back.
"I know what you're thinking. Stop thinking it." Lucy said. "There's nothing we can do. We just get in the way."
"I can't do that!" Natsu said as he couldn't take it anymore. "I can't just sit here and watch. There's got to be something we can do to help."
"I get it. I feel the same way, but we would be crushed if we oppose that monster." Lucy said. "Staying out of the way is the best way we can help."
"Darn it!" Natsu said as he couldn't believe this.
"She's right." All of them were surprised when they saw Igneel above them.
"Igneel!" Natsu said.
"What are you doing here?" Erza asked.
"I've been following Acnologia for a while." Igneel said. "Natsu, this isn't one of your chaotic matches. This isn't Chaotic. Stay out of this." Igneel flew over to help the others and Natsu wishes he could go with. Meanwhile, Acnologia has proven to be a challenge to them. He flew over to Odu-Bathax and gave him a powerful kick that knocked him down. Mudeenu tried surprising him with his invisibility, but Acnologia knocked him away with his tail.
"This is just what happened before." Chaor said.
"None of our attacks are having much effect on him. What is he?!" Maxxor said.
"Maxxor! Chaor!" Igneel called as he joined the two of them.
"Igneel? What are you doing here?" Maxxor asked.
"Helping with taking this monster down." Igneel said.
"Good. We're going to need all the help we can get." Chaor said.
"During your travels, have you learned anything about Acnologia that we can use to defeat him?" Maxxor questioned.
"I'm afraid not, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to fight. Inferno Gust!" Igneel unleashed the attack at Acnologia, but it just brushed against him as he turned to them.
"So another want to take part in the destruction as well. Fine by me. No one can even come close to my power." Acnologia said.
"Rock Wave!" Maxxor smashed the ground and sent rocks at him.
"Steam Rage!" Chaor unleashed the attack.
"Mega Roar!" Igneel roared at Acnologia. The three of them tried attacking him at the same time and the attacks collided against him. They thought they had him there, but Acnologia flew at them and surprised the three of them. He unleashed his own attack and blew the three of them back.
"Would you look at that?" Siegfried said. "It would seem that the famous Igneel has decided to join the battle himself."
"It doesn't matter. Those five can't compete to Acnologia." Drevex said. Siegfried thought the same, but he looked to the side and saw Natsu and his friends in the distant.
"Figures. Natsu and his friends are here as well." Siegfried said.
"What?" Drevex said. He looked in that direction and spotted them. "Those humans again?! They're always meddling, but I'll take care of them."
"No. Leave it." Siegfried said. "There isn't really anything they can do. Besides, It's almost ready."
"It is?" Drevex said as he looked at the large device. "What does this contraption even do?"
"You'll see." Siegfried said as he turned it on and it shot a large beam into the sky. It didn't go unnoticed by the others and they were all curious as to what it was.
"What is that thing?" Maxxor said.
"You should be concerned with yourself at the moment." Acnologia said as he flew over him. "That armor of yours seems very powerful, but not anymore!" Acnologia focused his power and unleashed another attack that blasted Maxxor and it was damaging him as well as affecting his armor. An explosion went off with Maxxor being blown back and his armor being destroyed.
"No way! He destroyed Maxxor's armor!" Zach said.
"Forget that for a moment. What is that beam?" Erza said.
"What are they up to now?" Lucy questioned as none of them liked this.
"Acnologia!" Igneel called. "What is that beam?! What have you done?!"
"Patience. We need to see if it will even work." Acnologia said.
"What will work? What will that do?" Igneel questioned. Siegfried and Drevex stood next to the beam and Drevex was just as confused about it as everyone else.
"What is going on?" Drevex questioned.
"It's all part of the grand finale." Siegfried said. "Drevex, you've done well, but I'm afraid your time should have came to an end a long time ago."
"What?" Drevex questioned.
"You've served Acnologia well, but we need a sacrifice for this to work." Siegfried said. Drevex didn't understand and he didn't like the sound of it. Suddenly, the beam unleashed some static that got a hold of Drevex and lifted him into the beam.
"What is this?! Release me! Release me!" Drevex demanded, but nothing. Drevex was pulled inside the beam and he felt a great amount of pain as he vanished in the light. When he did, a great explosion went off in the sky and the sky itself became dark. All except the bad guys were knocked down from the shockwaves.
"Igneel!" Natsu called out as he hurried to him and the others followed. Natsu hurried to Igneel and helped him up. "Are you okay?"
"I think so, but what happened?" Igneel questioned.
"What the heck is that?!" Zach said. All of them looked to the sky and they were all surprised with what they saw. The sky was torn open and there was some sort of town on the other side. Everyone looked up at it and was wondering what it could be.
"Guys... I think... I think that's Earth!" Lucy said.
"That's... That's our world!" Natsu said as none of them could believe they were seeing this.
"So that's the human world..." Acnologia said. Igneel could see what he was planning to do.
"No! We can't let him through there!" Igneel said with the humans getting scared.
"If someone like him goes to Earth, our world is done for!" Erza said. Igneel flew as he hurried to stop him, but Acnologia sense him coming and knocked him away. Acnologia spread his wings and took off to the sky. An actual portal from Perim to Earth has opened and Acnologia is going through it. For the first time in history, a creature is heading to Earth. Things are now more chaotic now than they've ever been.
