'So Sabertooth has 66 points, they made a smart move by keeping Reaper as their leader' said Lissana
'I'm afraid if Fairy Tail has to win, they should be making sure Reaper doesn't get any single one of Fairy Tail' replied Master Mavis, catching everyone's attention
'Look, Fairy Tail has 62 points, if we beat Reaper without losing any single one, we'll win, otherwise, Sabertooth will take it home' she added, after which everyone had their attention towards Cole and Reaper
'So everything is on Cole's hands, he needs to win' said Master Makarov, after which he raised his fist and cheered out loud, along with the other guild members
Cole and Reaper dashed towards each other fought, delivering blows to one another, creating sparks of lightning illuminating the entire battleground. Cole used his ice jump and attempted to thunderdrop on top of Reaper, but unfortunately for him, Reaper rolled over and dodged the attack.
'Too easy!' yelled out Reaper, after which he caught hold of Cole's hand and punched his chest, knocking him away
'Ghh.. Damn it..' Cole thought as he held his chest mid air and used his static thrusters with one hand to soften his landing
'Come on!' yelled out Reaper, right after which he noticed ice starting to cover up his legs
'What the?' Reaper thought after which he turned around to see Gray and Ursa, posing and ready to fight
'Get up Cole! Let's take this guy down together!' yelled out Gray as he was about to attack
'Gray! Ursa! Get out of here, now!' ordered Cole, while slamming his fist on the ground and creating a barrier of ice between Reaper and the others
'What do you think you're doing? We have a better chance of taking him out together!' said Gray, as he attempted to break the wall
'No! If one of us gets knocked out, we'll lose the tournament!' replied Cole
Gray stood motionless for a while, after which he caught hold of Ursa's hand
'Let's go, he needs to do this' he said to her, to which she just shook her head
'Good luck, Cole.. Reaper..' whispered Ursa, as she watched the two looking at them walk away
'This might be it folks, the showdown between Fairy Tail's Cole McGrath and Sabertooth's Reaper, this match is going to decide who will win this years games, and I for one, cannot wait to see how this battle unfolds!' exclaimed the announcer, right after which Cole and Reaper shot a lightning bolt simultaneously, both missing their targets and traveling far
Cole used his frost dash to circle around Reaper, who was grinning as he watched Cole move around him very fast.
'You can't stop me like that' said Reaper as he held his hands together and let out a large aura around him. He called it the ionic drain, an attack draining the energy out anyone within a 6 meter radius of him
Cole suddenly stopped midair as he felt his energy being drained away rapidly
'Crap.. I can't.. Move!' yelled out Cole as he struggled to aim his palm and attempted to disrupt Reaper by shooting him in the face. He was successful and managed to free himself, but felt weakened after the attack
'Whew.. That was refreshing' said Reaper as he looked at his palm and gathered lightning around it
'Thanks!' said Reaper, firing a scythe bolt at the weakened Cole, when suddenly, Cole used his frost shield to block out his attack
'I'm not done yet!' said Cole as he stood up and stared deep into Reaper's eyes
'Great, round two maybe?' joked Reaper, while cracking his neck
'Who said I lost round one?' taunted Cole while taking out his amp
'Heh.. Well you didn't look so good after that' said Reaper, while taking out his scythe
'Oh I'm good alright, fit as a fiddle!' replied Cole while stretching his arms
'Hmph... That's a big ass fiddle' joked Reaper, while giving a smile
'Huh.. Now you're just copying my jokes' replied Cole, while having a smile on his face
Both of them started walking towards each other, wielding their weapon in their hands. Cole immediately used his ice jump and attempted to thunder drop at Reaper
'Again?' said Reaper, while rolling over to dodge Cole's attack
'Not this time!' yelled out Cole while firing an ice grenade mid air, freezing Reaper, and completing his attack with a full on thunder drop right next to Reaper, knocking him away from Cole
'Now, take this!' yelled out Cole, calling in an ionic storm right at Reaper. The storm being bright enough to illuminate the entire city, caught everyone by surprise
'Holy crap! That is something!' yelled out Gray
Cole then aimed his amp at Reaper, who's body was regenerating.
'I gotta say, you did catch me surprise' said Reaper, standing right behind Cole, aiming his palm at him
'Huh.. A clone..' mumbled Cole, while lowering his amp, and watching Reaper's body on the ground disappear
'You're not the only one who learned new tricks Cole' said Reaper, while gathering lightning around his arm, preparing an attack
Cole immediately turned around and ducked, dodging Reaper's attack, followed by delivering a swift uppercut. He then followed the attack by using his lightning tether to catch hold of Reaper and slammed him onto the ground. Before Cole could attack, Reaper immediately threw a napalm grenade, which Cole dodged, giving time for Reaper to recover
Both Cole and Reaper were face to face once again
'This is some fight..' said Laxus, right after which he noticed Cole gathering energy around his arms
'Here you go!' yelled out Cole while unleashing an ionic vortex straight towards Reaper
'Huh.. Two can play that game Cole' replied Reaper, while gathering energy and unleashing his own ionic vortex
'What the hell is that magic?' yelled out Laxus, as he watched the two vortexes head straight towards themselves. The twisters combined, creating an even more powerful ionic vortex
'Damn it!' yelled out Cole, using his lightning tether on a nearby building, holding on to prevent himself from getting dragged in. Reaper did the same thing and the two waited for the vortex to subside
'You're gonna have to do better than that!' yelled out Reaper, while firing a couple of scythe bolts at Cole. Who immediately armed his frost shield
Reaper then fired a tripwire rocket towards Cole, who used his ice jump to dodge the attack
'You ain't going anywhere!' yelled out Reaper, using his firebird strike to close in towards Cole, who was airborne. Cole used a graviton blast to halt Reaper mid air, but to his surprise, Reaper halted before that and fired a napalm rocket at point blank range, knocking away Cole
As Cole tried to stand up after the attack, he noticed Reaper readying himself for an attack, as Cole struggled to get up, Reaper called an ionic storm, directly at Cole. The storm was fierce, a flash of crimson red lightning illuminated even the darkest areas of the city
'Oh no..' whispered Lissana, after looking at the intensity of the attack
Cole was lying on the ground, with his palm raised upward. Reaper noticed Cole's hand having a mark left over from the attack
'So you tried absorbing most of the attack, clever' said Reaper, as he watched Cole stand up after the attack
'This fight won't end, maybe it's time I gave it everything I got!' yelled out Reaper, while gathering lightning around his body, while making a T pose
Cole braced himself as the ground began shaking around him. Flickers of red lightning began erupting around Reaper, right after which an aura of fire began to surround his body
'The beast!' exclaimed Cole, as Reaper began unleashing the powers of the beast within himself. His eyes having the same fire as that of the Beast
'Time to end this Cole!' yelled out Reaper, as he began pulling Cole towards him with his power
'Crap!' yelled out Cole, while using his lightning tether and grabbed hold of a building, preventing Reaper from pulling him in
'That won't save you Cole!' yelled out Reaper, after firing a barrage of fireballs straight towards Cole, who was airborne
'My shield won't protect me from those, I gotta act fast!' Cole used his lightning tether towards the ground and immediately grounded himself, followed by using his frost dash to dodge the attack
'I took down the beast before, and I can sure as hell do it again!' yelled out Cole, firing a couple of Alpha rockets at Reaper, and charging in towards him
Reaper swiftly moved around the attacks, but was then greeted by a swift blow on the left of his chest by Cole with his amp
'Take this!' yelled out Cole after delivering successive blows with the amp and attempted to finish off his combo with an Alpha rocket at point blank range, only for his hand to get caught by Reaper before he could fire
'Uh uh.. This is how you do it' said Reaper as he grinned and aimed his hand at Cole, he then fired a Napalm rocket at Cole's chest, blasting him away from Reaper
'It's curtains for you Cole!' yelled out Reaper as he called in another ionic storm at Cole, this time being even stronger than before.
'Oh no! Cole!' yelled out Master Makarov, as the lightning strike completely blind sighted everyone from the battle
'That attack, No.. Cole.. You're not gonna lose like this!' thought Erza, as she attempted to walk, with her injured leg
'Damn.. That's some attack, I better go and see it for myself..' said Gajeel, holding his chest with his right arm, being injured from the fight with Sting
As the dust settled from Reaper's attack, Cole was lying on the ground with his shirt completely torn
'Is this the end for Fairy Tail, has Reaper triumphed over Cole McGrath. It would appear so folks.. Wait a second.. Unbelievable! This is something extra ordinary!' exclaimed the announcer, as he watched Cole move around and attempt to stand up
'That should have knocked you out.. But oh well, you want some more?' taunted Reaper, as Cole stood up, and was on his knees
'I.. Ain't giving up this fight..' said Cole.. As he finally stood on his feet, almost falling over trying to balance himself
Reaper grinned, and then noticed some markings on Cole's arm
'That's something new' he said, as Cole raised his right arm
'Is that... Fairy Glitter? How does he have that? Does he even know how to use it?' question Master Makarov as Cole wielded one of his guild's most powerful spells in his arm
'Master Mavis, you gave it to him didn't you?' asked Laxus
'I did' she replied, as she looked at Cole
'Well, you did tell him how to use it right?' asked Master Makarov
'That's something we'll be seeing for ourselves, I was keen for our guild to succeed, I armed Cole with Fairy Glitter' she replied with a mischievous smile on her face
Cole held his right arm, as the markings started glowing, he then raised his arm as energy began overflowing around him
'What is this?' thought Reaper, right after which he noticed Cole place his other hand on the markings, draining energy from it, making the markings fade away
'He.. He absorbed the spell, instead of using it?!' exclaimed Master Makarov in awe
As the markings completely faded away, Cole suddenly had a burst of bright, blue lightning around him. His eyes began glowing white, with white stripes beginning to line his arms and torso
'Would you look at that..' said Reaper, while retaining his Beast form, and charging his entire body with an aura of fire and red lightning
'The Fairy Conduit!' exclaimed Master Mavis with a smile
'Huh? What's that?' asked Master Makarov
'The name for his transformation!' she replied
Cole and Reaper had a stare-down at one another, with Reaper in his Beast mode and Cole with his newly found Fairy Conduit mode. The battle for the number 1 guild of Fiore was about to reach it's final stage!
'Let's finish this, right here, right now!' yelled out Cole as he held his amp in his right hand and pointed it at Reaper
'Couldn't agree more!' replied Reaper, wielding his scythe
