The next few chapters are going to be about the individual fights set up in Chapter 4. Hope you enjoy!

I looked around searching for any familiar landmarks so I could tell where the fuck Mest had sent me.

"Gajeel!"

My head whipped around and standing at the top of the cliff in front of me was Jose, the old fucker holding Levy and Gale over the edge. Behind them was a familiar sight.

"Tenrou. You sent me to fucking Tenrou, of all places. Titania, I'm going to kill you and Mest if I make it out of this."

"Jose, LET THEM GO!" I roared.

"As you wish." He sneered, releasing Gale and Levy, letting them plummet down towards me. If Levy doesn't wake up and slow their fall then I'm going to have to move, fast. I waited a heart wrenching second but Levy didn't wake up. Fucking hell shrimp.

"Iron Shadow Dragon Mode." I disappeared into the shadows racing up the side of the cliff to meet the two falling individuals. I brought my arms and upper body out of the shadow reaching out and catching both Gale and shrimp. Once I reached the top I slammed my iron covered knee into Jose's groin, sending reeling. I looked around, looking for a place to put these two so they wouldn't be injured in the fight. The tree! I took off towards the Tenrou tree finally reaching it after about 5 minutes of solid running. I found a small alcove, placing Gale and Levy into it. I turned around and took off in the direction I had come. As I raced back towards Jose I reached inside myself summoning every shred of hatred and anger I felt towards Jose, for what he did to me while I was in Phantom Lord and for what he did now. As I did I felt the shadows disappear and the metal encasing harden and become cooler.

"JOSE!" I roared as he came into view.

"Steel Dragon... CLUB!" I roared smashing the massive steel pole straight into Jose's gut, sending the diminutive man flying once again. As I stood over Jose I felt a ridiculous release of magic coming from what I assumed was the direction of the mainland. Turning in the direction of the magic I saw pillar of golden light and what looked like a white and gold dragon disappear back below the horizon.

"It seems Sting's mate has a pretty strong bite after all." Though I knew that wasn't just Raiko. I could also sense Gildarts' magic coming from that dragon-thing. Whoever they were fighting just died. I then felt a tiny bit of pain as Jose, apparently, tried to bunch me in the nuts but all he succeeded in doing was probably breaking his hand. Jose began laughing as I picked him up of the ground by the front of his shirt.

"What so funny?" I growled.

"The fact that you foolishly gave me enough time to do this." Jose's hands had green energy coming off of them, in a way that seemed familiar for some reason.

"I learnt this one from Zero. Genesis Zero!" Jose's purple ghouls rose up from the ground dragging me down with them.

"If I'm going down, THEN YOUR COMING WITH ME!" I roared trying to pull Jose down with me but every time I tried his magic kept pulling my arm back down. Eventually everything went black. When I came to I was floating in some kind of void.

"I refuse to let him win. I will save them!" I knew from Salamander's stories that he had broken out of this spell twice, once using dragon force and the other time with the help of Lucy. Me, I had dragon force and the power boost and immortality that being on Tenrou granted me. My magical aura exploded outwards along with billions of steel dust particles that shredded the void around me. I heard Jose's voice saying that this was impossible. I smirked. I brought my arm back like I was going to slap someone.

"Steel Dragon Sword!" I sliced my arm through the void around me cutting the entire thing in two. I stepped out of what remained of Jose's spell my sword still fully drawn, ready for another swing.

"Zero told me that the only person who ever broke out of this spell was Natsu and he had dragon force and the flame of rebuke. How can you do it?! You were never his equal!"

"I have dragon force and the home turf advantage. Now go to hell who little shit! Steel Dragon... GOD SWORD!" A brilliant aura surrounded my arm as I brought back towards Jose for another swing removing his head from his shoulders. I then tossed his head and body into the air letting the steel particles swirling around me shred them in mid air.

"Whew." I plonked myself back down on my butt deactivating my magic. Even with the boost of magic that Tenrou gives me this was a taxing battle. But now he's gone. And their safe. I climbed to my feet as I heard shrimp call my name in the distance.

"I'm on my way!" I roared.

"And I hope you can summon a way of this island because I ain't swimming back with you two on my back!"

Hope you enjoyed this battle. All the chapters are taking place at the same time. Me and my editor will be splitting the work load for these fights with him doing half and me doing half.
