Bold is for attacks
Kage's POV
He blew that ship up just by looking at it. What's with this guy…?
Lily charged at the man but he created another explosion.
"Shadow Knuckle!" I clocked the man in the jaw.
He shook it off and generated another explosion.
"Shit!" I covered myself from the blast
"Kage! Lily!"
I have to stop this guy here. If he gets passed me, he'll destroy the island.
"Arms X Verneir."
I feel twice as fast, this is Wendy's magic.
I slipped into my shadow and darted towards Azuma sticking to under the ground for cover.
"Shadow Uppercut!" I emerged from the ground and clocked the man in the face.
"Bleve!"
There was a series of explosions but Scruff carried me into the sky to avoid them.
"If I had a sword, I could take him." Lily said.
"Blades would help but we need to know how he is making these explosions?" Scruff asked.
"I don't know." I told him "I've never seen magic like this."
Wendy and Mest suddenly appeared behind Azuma and were ready to attack him.
There we go.
"Pathetic…" The air behind the man sparked "Tower Burst!"
"Wendy!"
The cats and I fell out of the sky once the explosion reached us.
He barely moved and he created an explosion that large. He's too strong for me… I can't help anyone…
Harver's POV
After scouting the ocean in front of us I went back to the airship.
"We're close, but one obstacle remains." I told the others.
"Look!"
Makarov stood in our path. With one punch he took out half the ship. Ultear was able to restore it but had she not been there we'd have been stopped in our tracks.
This man almost took out a whole guild with one punch.
Caprico took everyone but me and Meredy to the island.
"Get on kid we have to move." I said helping her aboard the Swan.
I was able to get around Makarov and get us to the island.
"I'm getting off here!" she yelled jumping to the ground.
"Be careful." I told her "Ultear will kill me if you get hurt."
"Don't worry Bro I'll be fine!"
I went a little further into the island before I got off and began walking. I passed by two people, a short woman with blue hair and "Black Steel" Gajeel. He was so beat up there was no point in attacking them so I kept walking.
I'm supposed to meet up with Azuma. Where the hell is that tree hugger?
Scruff's POV
"Claw Shredder!" I danced through the crowd and cut down a good number.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!"
A huge wave careened through the island and cut into trees and buildings.
What was that…Everything is really bad. Kage hasn't gotten up yet and I can't keep this form much longer.
Some thug tried to stab the injured shadow mage but I slashed him.
"Natsu!" I yelled "I'm taking Kage back to the base. He needs help."
"GO! We'll be fine here."
I scooped up the fallen man and flew towards the base by the shore.
I've only just joined but I'm so angry…how dare they attack this place and hurt my friends!
I looked down at Kage. His jacket had been blown off in the explosion and he was covered in dirt and small burns
Stupid…you didn't have to take that blast for me…
Kanji's POV
I blasted a handful of men who appeared out of nowhere.
I need to be careful. A stray shot could shock Erza or Juvia.
A sharp pain cut through my chest and I fell to my knees.
"Kanji!"
"What's wrong?"
"This feeling…my soul feels like it's been torn out…what the hell is this..?"
Some punk tried to stab me and Erza knocked him away.
"Stay focused."
"Right!" I jumped back up and shocked some more men.
What was that…I feel so scared…It feels like when Mom died…
"You two get out of the water." I told them.
"Alright." The two jumped up to a nearby piece of land.
"Conducting Shock!" I placed my hand in the water and fried the entire group.
The entire area was filled with steam from the heat of the last blast.
"Let's go find Wendy."
"Enemy located. Priority changed to extermination."
Some girl with short pink hair walked up to us.
She's with Grimoire Heart? She can't be much older than Wendy.
"A kid?"
"Don't underestimate her." Erza warned.
"Maguilty Sodom!"
"Magic blades!"
Erza knocked the swords away, and despite having a body made of Water Juvia was cut by the blade.
"What is this?"
"I will eliminate the enemy." The girl said.
It's like she's possessed.
Scruff's POV
By the time I got to the base things were bad. Gajeel and Miss Mira were both hurt.
"Miss Levy!"
"Scruff?! What are you doing here?"
"We came because Carla thought something was wrong." I laid Kage down in the tent "We found Wendy but we got attacked by an incredibly strong man. I left Miss Wendy and Carla with Natsu, Sir Lily and Happy."
"Just put him down over there I'll do what I can" Lisanna explained "Who attacked you?"
"Some man, he came out of a tree and created explosions like it was nothing."
"That sounds like the man who attacked me and Mira."
He got here before me…
Lisanna put the medical supplies away.
"The three of them are breathing, but Gajeel barely won and Mira and Kage lost."
"It's all my fault…"
"It's nobody's fault…They're just too strong."
"Elfman!"
Elfman showed up at the base, with an injured Evergreen.
"I couldn't protect my sister or my partner."
"We're all pretty messed up." I said placing my hat down on the table.
"We need to work together." Levy said "The exam fragmented us and now everyone is split up."
"Our enemy is a powerful one." I said "It'll take everything we've got if we want to beat them."
Kanji's POV
What the hell is this girl's problem, she only attacks Juvia.
"Stay down Number 13"
"Static Stingers!" I snapped my fingers at the girl and tried to shock her while Erza slashed at her.
"Numbers 4 and 5"
"What are you ranking?" Erza asked the girl.
"The order in which you are to be killed."
"How stupid!" I yelled as she ducked under a punch and attacked Juvia again "What is your problem. Leave Juvia alone!"
"13 is trash, so I'll eliminate her quickly."
"I'll end you before you do." I told the girl.
I punched at her but I missed again.
She's so limber.
"3rd is Gildarts. 2nd Makarov."
"Master is only second. Who's number 1?"
"There is someone I ranked above your master. Gray, Gray Fullbuster!" she yelled.
"Why Gray?"
"Because…Gray Fullbuster. He's the one who hurt my Ultear! I'll kill him!"
A ring of blades appeared around Erza and me but were washed away by a wave of water.
"Who was that you said you planned to kill?"
"Juvia?"
"Calm down." Erza warned.
She looks like she's possessed.
"Calm down? This brat is after Gray-Sama, for her own foolish purposes. You really expect me to calm down?! I'll never forgive her!"
The water under her exploded and the pink haired girl got sent flying.
"Water Nebula!"
The girl was launched up again.
She's like a different person…is this the same girl I fought during the exam? Is this her real power?
"Please leave this to Juvia. You two go find Wendy…and Gray-Sama."
"Okay" Erza and I turned to leave.
The girl tried to attack us again but was stopped by Juvia.
Good luck.
Scruff's POV
"So Natsu and the rest are coming here?"
"Carla should be leading them here." Lily explained.
"So Master was injured too." I said "We've got so many wounded."
"Doesn't matter." Levy said "We can't give up no matter what."
"It's important to know when to give up. Sometimes there are just people who are stronger than you. It makes me heart tremble, so now I'll destroy you till not a single fairy remains." A man with large gray hair walked out of the forest.
I'm too tired for a long term battle form…the four of us are too weak to hold out much longer. Someone hurry….
"What the hell is that?"
The man's arm changed into a huge black claw and he went straight at us.
"Shadow Wall!"
The weapon slammed into the black wall and bounced off.
"How."
"RUSTY!"
"Kageyama…"
Kage had gotten up off the floor and attacked the man.
"I thought that was your voice." Kage said.
"You two know each other?"
"We grew up together." The man with the glasses explained "You could call us childhood comrades."
"Never expected to see you like this. You were always an asshole." Kage shadow emerged and punched the man in the face "You son of a bitch!"
The man shook off the attack like it was nothing and charged at us again and overpowered Kage's wall.
"You always were the weaker one Kage!"
A line of wooden Idols came out of nowhere and blew the man back.
"What now. Who are you?!"
"Freed! Bickslow."
"You came back!"
"We saw the flare and came back with Gildarts."
If Gildarts is here we might be able to turn this around.
"Still you're no match for my Arc of Embodiment!" Rusty explained.
"We will take you down." Bickslow told him.
"The rules don't apply to you."
"I always wanted to kick your ass when we were kids. I guess this is my chance." Kage smiled.
"Baryon Formation!" Bickslow's dolls shot out a large beam of green light.
"In my left hand is a Shield of Gold that can repel any attack." And just like Rusty said a shield appeared.
"Dark Erciture: Pain!"
"Snake Shadow!"
The man floated into the air "You can't beat my creativity! Sacred Guardian Belfast the Hurricane!"
A hulking metal beast appeared but Bickslow took off his helmet and stared at the monster.
"Seith Magic: Puppet! Than Crush!"
The monster imploded and collapsed.
"Shadow Knuckle!" The man's own shadow came up and punched him.
"Dark Erciture: Absolute Shadow!"
An armor of darkness manifested on Freed's body and he dashed forward slashing the man.
"Shadow Uppercut!" Kage appeared out of the ground and clocked the man "You've gotten soft!"
They're so strong…it's hard to believe Kage can fight after taking the brunt of that explosion earlier.
"I'm not done." Kage said.
"Get up." Bickslow ordered.
"There is no room for forgiveness." Feed glared at him.
Rusty looked terrified at the might of the three men in front of him.
We might actually have a chance…
Kanji's POV
"Wendy!"
"Where are you?"
"And so, we meet again."
I looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Harver…"
"She must be Erza." Another man said emerging from the bark of a tree "I've already taken care of the little girl."
"What was that?!" Erza glared.
"This is my associate, Azuma."
"Arcing Bolt!" I shot at the two giving no more time for useless talk "Where is Wendy!"
I went after the bird man and Erza took the tree guy.
"Hera!"
A hawk came out a tried to claw me.
"Watch out Erza he can summon birds. Demolition Fist!"
I punched at Harver but the attack was blocked by a mass of vines.
"Bleve!"
The bundle exploded and knocked me back.
"Zeus!" An Eagle came out and dug its talons into my arm.
I threw my jacket off and disoriented the bird. I turned the Lacrima to full power and felt the lightning leaking out my eyes.
"Lightning Dragon Laser Eyes!" I blasted the owl Harver had just summoned.
"You're just as interesting as last time, but once again we've reached an outside barrier. Time is up."
"What are you talking about?"
"Azuma should be finished taking control of this islands magic. I will pass you and find Zeref."
"What could you possible want with Zeref?" Erza asked him.
"He will help me save my most important person." Harver explained.
The base of the Tenrou Tree snapped and the whole mass fell over.
"Do you know what you've done?!" I bolted forward and pointed my fist in Harver's face "Electric Shotgun!"
He was blasted back further into the roots.
"Talon!" I kicked him in the face and knocked him down "How can Zeref possible save anyone?!"
"He'll teach me…" Harver said "Teach me to save the most important person in my life. He'll tell me how to exorcise a demon and free Kyouka! Then I'll be able to kill the son of a bitch that took her from me! Tartarus and Mard Geer will fall by my hand!"
I grabbed my side.
I can feel the magic being pulled out of me…That tree guy must be draining the whole island.
"Are you sure it was smart to leave your fiancée alone with Azuma?" He asked "I'm not pleased with it but do you know what he did to Mirajane?"
I snarled "What the hell did you do to Mira?!"
Harver but his hands together and made an explosion noise "Boom..."
"Lightning Dragon Roar!"
I blasted the man and a plume of smoke was created. As it cleared, I saw a swan had blocked the blast.
"I'm going to show you the true power of my Bird Magic unlike Lucy Heartfilia I don't have to rely on my summons…Feather Assault!"
A whirlwind of black feathers covered Harver's body, and when they disappeared a different person was standing before me. He had two large black wings on his back and two feathered blades on his arm. His feet were gone and a pair of talons had replaced them.
"Harpy Mode!"
"Bring it on!" I yelled
