Reaper stared at Acnologia, who was grinning while holding the Talisman of equinox. Acnologia then tossed it away as he rendered it useless. Reaper clenched his right fist in anger, as lightning began surrounding his body
Cole, after being knocked out cold for a while, opened his eyes, to see Reaper facing off Acnologia.
'Reaper..' whispered Cole, as he stood up
'Well well, are you done with your nap?' taunted Acnologia as Cole stood up and shook his head, followed by holding his head in pain
Cole then looked at Ursa lying on the ground, he felt surprised, right after which he turned and looked at Reaper, who was looking at Cole. Reaper just closed his eyes and nodded, hinting Cole over the fact that Ursa is no more
'Ursa...' whispered Cole, as he punched the ground in anger.
'Well then, since you two are standing, I might as well end it' taunted Acnologia, lightning up Cole and Reaper's eyes.
'Cole!' yelled out Reaper, catching his attention.
'I never thought I would resort to this, but I have no choice' said Reaper, while closing his eyes
'What do you mean?' asked Cole, soon after which Reaper turned towards him and extended his hand
'Reaper?' Cole thought for a moment, right after which he looked at Acnologia charging an attack
'That's right! Give in! You have no chance!' yelled out Acnologia, as he built up a powerful attack
Cole extended his hand, and caught hold of Reaper's hand, soon after which a surge of lightning bursted around Cole. His entire body getting covered with blue and red lightning.
Reaper gave a smile, while his body began to fade away, as the two began merging into one. The blue and red lightning aura surrounding Cole began to converge and turn purple.
'Die!' yelled out Acnologia, sending a huge wave of energy at Cole, who stood still and raised his arm, bringing a frost shield covered with flames, completely blocking out Acnologia's attack
'Wh.. What the?' said Acnologia with slight hesitation, soon after which he was shocked to see Cole standing with his shield, with little to scratches on him. The left side of Cole's face had Reaper's skull facepaint, while the other half was himself. Cole now had an aura of purple lightning surrounding his body as he held the shield in his right hand.
'What's the matter, you sound like you're afraid' said Cole, as he took out his amp on his right hand, and Reaper's scythe on his left hand.
'You won't be able to do anything!' yelled out Acnologia as he repeatedly fired a couple of energy blasts, which Cole replied by dodging with his ice jump and using the firebird strike to close in, followed by slashing his scythe and amp altogether, delivering a brutal blow.
Acnologia held his chest as he took the attack, soon after which he noticed Cole attempting to slash his amp. He immediately caught the amp, but was surprised to see Cole smile, as Cole slashed the scythe on his other hand. Acnologia hesitated and immediately caught the scythe with his other hand. Cole then zapped both of his weapons simultaneously, delivering a powerful shock, stunning Acnologia, soon after which he gave a headbutt and followed by slashing his amp straight up, launching Acnologia into the air.
Cole narrrowed his eyes and used his lightning hook and slammed Acnologia onto the ground and used a punch blast, further knocking him away.
Seconds after Cole's assault, Acnologia stood up, fuming with anger, while Cole stood still and gathered lightning around his hands
'You.. You will pay for that!' yelled out Acnologia in anger, as scales began covering his body
'What's he doing?' thought Cole, soon after which Acnologia took a deep breath and fired his dragon's roar, channeling an immense wave of energy, which Cole stood still and blocked using his frost fire shield. As Cole stood still and blocked, Acnologia dashed towards him, soon as the attack was done, Cole's eyes were lit up as he saw Acnologia standing right underneath him. He punched Cole straight in the abdomen, stunning Cole for a few seconds, right after which he attempted to attack once again, this time, Cole managing to grab hold of his arm before he could. Cole then sent a jolt of electricity through his arm, making Acnologia scream in pain, right after which he kicked Cole, knocking Cole away from himself.
Cole quickly recovered and fired a couple of hell-fire rockets, followed by firing a couple of ice rockets. Acnologia stood still and punched the rockets fired by Cole. One by one he broke through the rockets. Cole however, grinned, making Acnologia furious, soon after which he looked at his hands being frozen by the ice rockets fired by Cole. Cole then used his frost dash and closed in. He immediately attempted to whack Acnologia with his amp. Acnologia tried to stop the amp, but his hands being frozen were too slow, couldn't match Cole's speed and took a direct hit.
Cole kept slashing his amp with brute force, ending his Combo by catching hold of Acnologia and slamming him onto the ground
Acnologia grunted and looked up to see Cole aiming his hand at him
'Say goodnight!' said Cole as he fired an alpha rocket at point blank range, causing an explosion, knocking Acnologia out cold.
As the dust settled, Cole looked at Acnologia knocked out unconscious, then looked at Ursa's lifeless body. He raised Acnologia's body and raised his palm as the thought of bio-leeching him came through his head
'Don't do it' a voice echoed through his mind
'R..Reaper?' Cole said, while letting go of Acnologia
Soon, Acnologia woke up and immediately punched Cole, knocking him a couple of meters away.
Cole got knocked straight into a boulder, soon after which a wave of energy came crashing straight towards him, completely blinding him as it hit him head on
'Get up!' yelled out Reaper, as Cole and Reaper were standing together in a huge room
'Reaper.. Wait.. What is this?' said Cole as he looked around
Cole was seeing Reaper in his sub consciousness, as he was getting attacked by Acnologia
'Cole.. The fight's just begun' said Reaper
Cole then figured the seriousness of Reaper's tone and calmed down
'Get up, take that bastard down' said Reaper, when suddenly he got interrupted by Cole
'Wait.. Why would you.. Do this?' asked Cole, making Reaper grin
Reaper closed his eyes and grinned, right after which he kept his palm on Cole's shoulder
'Half as long..' he said, lighting up Cole's eyes
'Twice as bright..' replied Cole.. Soon after which he opened his eyes and started running towards Acnologia's energy attacks with his fist in the front
'Take this!' yelled Cole, punching him straight in the face, right after which he caught hold of Acnologia's leg and spun him, sending him flying away from Cole, right after which Cole fired a couple of Alpha rockets, further pushing Acnologia's body straight into the air.
'Now!' Reaper's voice echoed in Cole's head, soon after which Cole called an ionic storm, striking Acnologia's body with intense purple lightning, more powerful than anything Cole had summoned before, Powerful enough to be noticed by every wizard battling in the city.
Cole stood still as he watched Acnologia's body fall onto the ground, when suddenly, he noticed wings sprout out of Acnologia's body
Cole narrowed his eyelids and fired a magnum bolt, but Acnologia managed to evade it by flying away.
'What the hell is with this guy?' thought Cole as he watched Acnologia fly around, as his scales began to intensify
'I have to say, you're strong, but this is as far as you'll go, Cole' said Acnologia, as he began transforming into a dragon
'He's a freaking dragon?!' exclaimed Cole in surprise as Acnologia flew up and completed his transformation into a black dragon and roared. The roar, loud enough to be heard by everyone in Crocus
'Wait.. What is that?' thought Erza as she looked straight into the horizon and saw a a giant figure, lighting up her eyes
'No, it can't be, not this soon!' exclaimed Future Rogue atop of the dragon he rode, in the midst of his battle with Natsu
Natsu immediately punched him, knocking him away, right after which he looked and grunted
'It's that dragon alright' said Natsu, right after which he dodged an attack from Future Rogue
Cole braced himself as Acnologia roared. He then looked straight at the Dragon and fired a couple of alpha rockets, however, the rockets barely dealt damage
'What's the matter, don't tell me that's the best you've got!' yelled out Acnologia as he dived straight towards Cole.
Cole stood still and waited for Acnologia to close in, soon after which he used his ice jump and got on top of Acnologia.
'Get off!' yelled Acnologia spun in an attempt to shake Cole off. Cole held on to the skin, right after which he kept slamming his fist into Acnologia's face, dealing quite a bit of damage, right after which Acnologia managed to shake Cole off. As Cole was mid air, Acnologia slashed his claw. Cole however used his fire-bird strike and struck Acnologia's face, while dodging his attack
Acnologia, getting knocked back, flung his tail, slamming Cole onto the ground.
'You're pathetic, you will never beat me!' yelled out Acnologia, soon after which Cole stood up and tightened his fist in anger
Cole held his hands tightly as he posed for an ionic vortex. He held his pose for about 5 seconds, soon after which he summoned an ionic vortex. The ionic vortex was enormous, with storms of purple lightning swirling along with it, as it traveled straight to Acnologia, who attempted to fly away, but got sucked in it
Cole saw this as his opportunity and attempted to call an ionic storm, but paused as he saw Acnologia fly out from the storm
'That was a futile attempt, now you will die!' yelled out Acnologia, charging an attack, as he was about to unleash his true dragon's roar
'That attack nearly wiped off Tenrou island!' Cole thought, soon after which he immediately made a frost flame shield
Acnologia fired his dragon's roar, sending a huge blast of energy, Cole's eyes were lit up as he noticed the sheer intensity of the attack. He then held onto the shield with both of his arms, as he took on the attack
As the attack cleared out. Cole stood still, panting, with his shield cracked, and chunks of ice falling off his body
'You're a persistent little fool!' exclaimed Acnologia, as Cole began panting and tightened his fist in anger
Acnologia began charging up another attack. Cole grunted and attempted to block out another attack, but couldn't make another shield as his body was recovering from the previous attack
'Reaper, get out of my body now!' yelled out Cole in desperation
'One of us has to be there to take this guy down, promise me you will!' Cole yelled with all his voice as he closed his eyes and tightened his fists
Cole suddenly looked at Reaper in his subconscious mind, where Reaper was looking at him
'I will' said Reaper, after which Cole gave a smile
Just as red lightning began surrounding Cole's body, Acnologia fired another true dragon's roar
Cole closed his eyes and gave a smile, as he felt it was his inevitable end, when suddenly, he noticed a sound of footsteps.
'What's that?' Reaper said, while still being in Cole's subconscious.
Cole felt surprised, right after which he opened his eyes to see Future Wendy standing in front of him.
'Sky Barrier!' yelled out Future Wendy, as she blocked Acnologia's attack with all her might
'Wendy.. Wendy!' yelled out Cole as he stood up, Wendy turned around and gave a smile, as a teardrop flew from her cheeks, soon after which her barrier cracked, forcing Cole to evade.
'No... Wendy..' whispered Cole, as the dust settled, and Wendy lied on the ground
'Wendy, stay with me.., Come on kid..' Cole said, feeling uneasy as he repeatedly used his pulse heal
'Cole...' she whispered, as blood traveled down from her mouth to the ground.
'Why...' Cole said in a low tone, as tears rolled down Cole's cheeks, while he held onto Future Wendy's body, being on his knees
'Because.. I couldn't watch you die.. Again..' she replied, while giving a smile, and passing away.
Cole kept her on the ground, while clenching his fists, his teardrops falling onto the ground as an aura of lightning began surrounding Cole's body
'Ruuaaaaaaaaaggghhhhh!' yelled Cole in anger, soon after which a giant lightning bolt struck his body. Cole's body began levitating as he spread his arms and legs, fire began surrounding him as he kept levitating, soon after which another lightning bolt struck his body, this time the fire began taking shape, as he began to completely transform into THE BEAST
'THIS ENDS NOW!' Cole yelled in a fit of rage, as he completely transformed into the beast
'I'm sorry Wendy~'
