Hello guys, your beloved Author is back.
First of all, I just want to express my thanks for anyone who voted on my polls. Although few of you called my polls 'BULLSHIT' (Don't worry, I don't felt offended at all). But hey, what's done is done and I cannot turn back the time (Hope I can).
Okay, here's the poll's result:
Option 1:15
Option 2:53
It seems option two won by large margin, congratulation for readers who voted 'option 2'. And as I promise, I'll keep the story same as the original plan.
Oh, by the way, I'll give you some a very long list of facts about this story that in case you still have no idea about it:
1. Erza's hairstyle in this story is looks like her Edolas counterpart before she cut her hair off into bob style.
2. Erza's current outfit (Aside of Knight of Round outfit) is Canon Natsu's outfit in X792 (Although in her case, it is left-sleeveless instead of right) and she is now wearing a black eye patch on her left eye.
3. Erza in this story loves any kind of chocolate cake, not strawberry cheesecake. She is also left handed in this story.
4. Erza's personality: She is lazy as hell yet so clever according to Makarov in Chapter 9. She also has the same opinion as Laxus about the weaker guild members but she never said it openly. That's why also in chapter 9, she let Laxus gloated to the weaker members as long he didn't hurt them physically.
5. Despite the fact number 4, Erza still professional and try to keep the guild's repute since it's her job as guild member, just as seen in chapter 3 when Bora using Fairy Tail's name.
6. Also, Erza and Laxus seems get along just fine. It's seen when Laxus was willingly to listen to Erza's request in chapter 6.
7. She dislikes Mirajane when the girl challenged her to fight.
8. She also dislikes Kagura for being so strict and bossy.
9. Erza is Fairy Tail's most powerful mage, even far surpassing Makarov but she isn't an S-Class mage because she declined the offer when Makarov nominated her, just as mentioned in chapter 5.
10. Despite the fact number 8, that doesn't mean there aren't somebody that more powerful than her. Wendy for an instance.
11. Erza respects anyone who on par or stronger than her in term of strength with her mentor on the top of the list.
12. Erza also have so many connections outside the guild. One of them is Ultear who was Erza's spy until chapter 10.
13. Tartaros in this story and Homura Dragneel were created by E.N.D not Zeref.
14. Wendy is the one Erza feared the most…yet.
15. Lisanna never 'died' in this story, so Mirajane still has her old personalities.
16. Kagura took over Canon Erza's role in this story.
17. In this story, Rogue has the appearance and the power of his future counterpart since it's 1000 times more badass than present Rogue.
18. Dragons are still good in number.
19. Etherious in this story are far more powerful than in canon.
20. Ultear is Grimoire Heart's second in command.
21. All Dragon Slayer in this story don't have an exceed because they can fly on their own, although I'll let Gajeel have Lily since he cannot fly on his own.
Answer Some Review:
EndlessChains: Thank you for reviewing, you're always the best. If you have question, feel free to ask me :D
Irahandayani18: Tenang aja mba, ceritanya bakal tetep kayak rencana sebelumnya. Makasih udah review. Trus buat pertanyaan mba, liat aja di chapter ini.
P.S: Ini mba apa mas?
PrinceNK: Sekali lagi, makasih udah nulis review yang puanjang nya minta ampun. Oh iya, saya bales pake bahasa indo aja ya, gpp kan? Soal review anda, tenang aja saya udah mikirin gimana cara E.N.D bisa jatuh cinta terhadap Erza yang dapat masuk diakal.
XxXZeusKillerXxX: Well, you may be right about the poll. I just made that poll because another idea just came out from my mind and it clashed with my original plan. So, I'm only letting the reader to decide and it seems option two won the poll. Anyway, thanks for reviewing. I hope you like this chapter
TheOnlyKing: Thanks again for reviewing. But too bad for you option 1 lost the poll. I hope you will stick with my story until the end
charles123: If you think Secilia and Monica are strong, wait until you see Rogue and Wendy in this chapter. Anyway, thank you for reviewing :D
Lightningblade49: Well, you're wrong about one thing. See in this chapter and you will find out what I mean.
giacomo: Well, I appreciate the idea you offering but Natsu and Dragon are sounds…well, for lack of better word…Cliché…in my opinion. Once again, I appreciate the idea but this Natsu has nothing to do with Dragon, in fact, he despises almost all of them with the exception of Wendy. So, him having his Etherious form in form of Dragon will make him looks like a hypocrite.
darkworkangel: Well, you have to wait until Tenroujima arc to know the answer since I can't answer your question without revealing spoiler to you and other readers.
DraigTrueEmperor9, abhishekbssn, Chaser IV, Gunreal, fallendemon248 and the other I can't mention one by one: Thanks for reviewing :D

Episode 12: Into the Fray, Part II
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 00:49 P.M, Earthland, Alakitasia, Alvares Empire, Vistarion, Spriggan Palace.
A lone man sat on his throne, resting his head on his right fist while his eyes staring at the ceiling of his room.
The man wore high-collared black and tan robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He has short black hair, dark eyes and abnormally sharp canines. He also wore a golden heart-shaped necklace.
This man was Zeref Dragneel, the man who considered to be the strongest and most evil Mage of all time who possesses extremely dangerous and powerful Magic. In reality, he is a reclusive, self-hating youth who cannot control his powers. He was also the founder and current Emperor of the Alvarez Empire, which was Britannia Empire's main rival, under the alias of Spriggan as well as the older brother of the founder and current Emperor of Britannia Empire, Etherious Natsu Dragneel.
Zeref then smiled when he felt a familiar surge of overwhelming power and he aware from whom and where it came from. 'Even when you're far away across the Galaxy, I could still feel your power from here, even when you're not being serious. You have really grown stronger than you were four hundred years ago, dear brother.' He thought to himself before he felt another powerful surge of power that made him smiled even more.
'Never in my wildest dream would I dare to think that Igneel would join into the fray, and he's facing with my brother so called little sister.' Zeref laughed to himself before he felt someone has entered his room.
It was a young man of average height with the hair as white as snow, which he kept tied in a ponytail and a pair of red eyes. He was wearing a white collared dress shirt with a blue tie, slacks and boots. He completed his ensemble with a pair of glasses and a dual-colored trench coat which he kept tied together by an intricately designed belt.
"You summoned me, Your Majesty?" The man gracefully kneeled before the Emperor Spriggan.
"Yes Invel, I've summoned you!" Zeref replied to the man known as Invel who none other than a member of Spriggan Twelve, a group of people which composed of the twelve strongest mages of the continent of Alakitasia and Knight of Round's main rival.
Zeref then rose from his throne and began to walk towards his most trusted Spriggan Twelve. "My brother is currently out of the picture and he won't be back for a few days. This is a great chance for us to claim over Isvan." He stated.
Invel startled a little at the news. "Isvan? Isn't it under Britannia ruler? Won't it break our non-aggression pact with Britannia?" Invel asked the Emperor.
"I know!" Zeref replied knowingly. "But there is 'something' that located in Isvan that I need to have under my possession at any cost. Have Ajeel and the entire 7th Army to be deployed to Isvan and occupy it." Zeref declared his order, causing the Fuyu Shogun [Winter General] of Alvarez quite shocked at the order.
Isvan was one of large country in Ishgar that was under Britannia's ruler after it was conquered by the Empire in X781 after Isvan's fail attack on one of Britannia's territory. Isvan become Britannia's territory now, however the Emperor of Britannia allowed the king of Isvan to continue ruled over 'his' country but under the banner of Britannia Empire.
"The entire 7th Army? That's a half of a million of troops..." Invel awed at the prospect of one of his comrade having five times more forces at his disposal.
"Will it be enough?" Zeref asked Invel who looked at him in the eyes and smiled.
"Isvan will be in Your Majesty's possession in two days."
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 00:57 P.M, Egolas, Northern Side of Egolas.
The skies of Edolas were getting darker, the entire planet miraculously barely able to withstand as it trembled under the extremely overwhelming power from two of the most powerful being in existence. If it continued like this, Egolas as well as any living beings and non living beings inside of it, will be vaporized into dust in under a minute.
The Emperor of Holy Britannia Empire, Etherious Natsu Dragneel who was in his Eteriasu Fomu [Etherious Form] stood facing at the massive black and blue Dragon. E.N.D knew that he couldn't fight Acnologia without killing any of his subordinates, he aware that with the exception of Wendy, none of them could handle his and Acnologia's vast power without being turned into dust.
"Let's take this somewhere else, you overgrown lizard!" Before Acnologia responded at the Eteriasu [Etherious] insult, E.N.D charged at Acnologia with Massively FTL+ speed and took off to the space, bringing Acnologia with him.
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 01:00 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Grimoire Heart Airship.
A gigantic airship that has the size of Kardia Cathedral was flying above the Ishgar's skies, completely hidden from anyone below it.
"Oracion Seis…" Ultear Milkovich, former member of the council and Grimoire Heart's Second in command said as she turned around to face a shadowed figure that was occupying his bony throne. "So they're going to make their move…How will you respond to this, old man?" Ultear was looking into ship's window, she was dressed into light attire with open back and her large Grimoire Heart guild crest under her shoulder blades was clearly visible.
"Leave them be…" Grimoire Heart Guild Master, Master Hades replied his second in command's question. "With them causing ruckus, the lawful folks will hardly be able to ignore it. We should use that opportunity to advance our search for the keys of Zeref's seal." As he said this, Ultear let out a small smile that adored her beautiful face. "Let us hope that they succeed in eliminating a few of the pesky guilds that stands in our way."
"Fairy Tail… for instance?" Ultear smiled, causing Hades to smile.
"By the way, Ultear…" Hades began causing the beautiful woman turned to him. "Is it true that Erza Dragneel has become a Member of Knight of Round?" Hades asked his second in command who nodded her head in confirmation.
"Yes, it's true!" Ultear confirmed with a scowl on her face. "She will be our greatest threat in the future." Ultear continued and Hades nodded his head in agreement.
'So…this is why Grayfia-sama wanted me to join Grimoire Heart, so that I can fight against Erza Dragneel. While she surely won't lay a hand on Tartaros since it is E.N.D's own guild, she will surely attempt to obliterate Grimoire Heart.' Ultear smiled at the thought of her fated battle against Erza.
At first, Ultear wanted to Join Tartaros after knowing that her mentor, Grayfia Lucifer was a member of an elite group of the guild called Kyukimon [Nine Demon Gates]. Ultear intented to join Tartarosas a part of her mentor's squad. But, Grayfia told her that she needed to face against Erza whose mentor was E.N.D, Grayfia's creator as well as the Guild Master of Tartaros and Erza without question won't even dare to attack the Tartaros even if Tartaros attacked her.
So in exchange, Grayfia enrolled Ultear to Grimoire Heart and took over the rank Second in Command from a mage named Bluenote Stinger after Ultear utterly destroyed the mage without much effort at all. Although in term of power, Ultear was the most powerful one in Grimoire Heart, even far surpassing its Guild master, Hades or rather Precht Gaebolg.
'Our fated showdown is getting near…Erza Dragneel'
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 01:13 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia, Fairy Tail
"What exactly is this?" Lucy wondered as she looked at large, glowing scheme, which was drawn in mid-air. Lucy came pretty late, so guild hall was already quite crowded, and most of those who was present, gathered around the scheme.
"It's an organization chart of the Dark Guilds." Ur replied, pointing at the paintings.
"It was me that drew it," Reedus noted, as if it was some great deed.
Kagura rubbed her chin with her finger thoughtfully. "When you look at it as whole, there are awfully quite a lot of them." She said knowingly.
"Why?" Lucy wondered.
"The underworld seems to be awfully active recently, so I decided to explain the situation, to keep people informed of recent developments." Mirajane explained.
On the scheme, many rectangles were painted, each one with a guild's name. Four larger rectangles, also with names: 'Grimoire Heart', 'Oración Seis', and 'Tartaros', were inscribed in an oval with header 'Baram Alliance'. Each larger rectangle was connected to a number of lesser ones, without cross-connection. Only one guild, depicted as oval, was aside from other dark guilds and marked as 'Independent': 'Raven Tail'.
"What's that big oval for?" Lyon asked.
"Ah, I think knows that," Gajeel looked at the scheme, "That's the most powerful force amongst all of the dark guilds: The Baram Alliance."
"Yes, the Baram Alliance is a massive force made up of three individual dark guilds, Oracion Seis, Grimoire Heart and Tartaros." Ur confirmed. "Each one of them has a number of lesser guilds under its control, and thus the three of them keep the underworld in check. There's only one dark guild that acts independently of the rest, Raven Tail…"
Erza merely sat on the bar while eating her chocolate cake in silence, not really care about the topic the other guild members were talking about since she was already too familiar with that structure. She knew about Grimoire Heart and all of its members from Ultear, Oracion Seis from her mentor who was also the Guild Master of Tartaros after he told the fact to her the time she became Knight of Seven.
Erza aware the fact her mentor told her that because E.N.D wanted to test her loyalty towards him and without question Erza made an oath that she won't tell a single soul about Britannia Emperor being the Guild Master of the strongest dark guild as well as the strongest guild ever exists.
'Although I wonder why would sensei even bother to form an alliance with those two pathetic excuses of dark guilds? He surely can just take over them by beating them into submission.' Erza thought to herself as she took another bite of her chocolate cake while she'd being forced to listen to the other's rambling.
"There are some names that I remember up there," Wakaba waved toward the chart. "Some time ago they were used to be official guilds."
"Yes, this is sad, but not all can keep up as legal guild with the ever changing surroundings," Ur said with deep sigh.
"Huh?! Eisenwald?!" Gray exclaimed as he saw a familiar name on the scheme, Eisenwald's rectangle was crossed out.
"That's right, that's the guild Erigor belonged to…" His teacher nodded in confirmation.
"So that was one of the guilds that are under control of these 'Oracion Seis'?" Lyon noted.
"So was the ghoul spirit, the dark guild the Raijinshu [Thunder God Tribe] annihilated," Lisanna pointed at another crossed out rectangle.
"All those guilds that I and Juvia destroyed when we were part of Phantom Lord, they all were under Oracion Seis control!" Gajeel added.
"Uh-oh… I hope they're not angry at us…" Lucy mumbled, shivering a little.
"Ah, don't worry about that. I mean, there's supposed to be just six of them, anyway!" Wakaba tried to reassure Lucy.
"Yeah, how small a guild is it?" Macao wondered.
"You're simple minded!" Mirajane chastised at the mage. "That 'tiny guild of six' is supposed to be a third of the underworld." She added, wiping out two old mage's smiles.
'You're the one who simple minded. As if those six clowns is even one percent of underworld' Erza thought.
"About those Oracion Seis…" Makarov's voice sounded from behind as master entered the guild hall. "We're going… to take them down!" Old man announced with dark determination.
For a few seconds, deathly silence was in guild hall as people save for Erza were shocked after master's announcement. "Welcome back…old man!" Erza said with flat tone before turning her attention back to her cake, causing the other guild members comically drop to the ground.
"Way to miss the point!" Lucy exclaimed as everyone present let out an anguished moan.
"So master… what exactly is this all about?" Kagura asked as guild calmed down a bit.
"At the regular meeting a few days ago, the Oracion Seis came up on the agenda. Seems they're up to something. It was decided that this development cannot be ignored, and so a guild must be sent to eliminate them," Makarov explained briefly.
"So you pulled the short straw again, huh?" Gray asked through clenched teeth.
"Fairy Tail is taking up that responsibility?" Gajeel asked in shock.
"No…The enemy's forces is simply too large for one guild to fight them" Makarov stated causing Erza snorted at that. "If we went alone, then we would eventually end up as the sole targets of the Baram Alliance's wrath. As such… we're going to be forming an alliance of our own!" Makarov announced, belligerently clenching his fist.
"An alliance?!" Several people exclaimed, it was an unprecedented decision.
"Yes!" Makarov replied. "Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale. Each of these guilds is to select a number of members, and those members will join forces to defeat the enemy."
"Wait, hold on a second…" Lucy mumbled, "We're dealing with just six people, right?"
"Wrong," Erza announced, gaining attention from everyone since. "If Oración Seis is up to something big then all of their minion guilds will be backing them up. We're most likely going to deal with hundreds of 'dark mages' then." She explained, although Makarov and Ur noticed that Erza emphasize the words 'dark mages' but didn't say anything.
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 01:27 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Worth Woodsea
"I hear it… The sounds of the light crumbling… to nothing…" A man with spiky maroon hair whispered, looking down into some valley.
Several more people approached the cliff's edge where the maroon haired man stood.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Cobra. Well, not that speed is a bad thing…"
"This is where the magic we're looking for is hidden, Racer," Cobra replied.
"The magic that will bring forth darkness and utterly eliminate the light, yes?"
"Nirvana…"
"That legendary magic… is finally ours."
Five people were speaking while sixth one was asleep…
"Sure we should be getting our hopes up so high? Is this Nirvana really all that?"
"Behold… The land itself is dying, simply for having Nirvana in its vicinity," One of men replied, pointing at the valley with his scepter. The forest was dark and seemed tainted, engulfed with dark mist.
Unbeknown to them, a figure wearing black hooded cloak with the design of red cloud and crimson spiral mask that had a hole on left eye was watching the six people from afar.
If you looked closer, you can see the figure had a purple ripple-pattern eye with six comas on it.
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 03:03 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Worth Woodsea
"Why do I have a feeling like something really bad is going to happen?" Lucy's reasoning was interrupted at sudden realization as she cried in panic, "Why the hell am I included in this grand strategy, anyway?!"
"I'm with her this time…" Erza agreed as she tried to sleep. "…It's a pain, knowing that those three could easily handle these so called dark guilds!" She jerked her thumb to Kagura, Ur and Mirajane who sat beside her.
"Don't be such a baby!" Kagura retorted and gave the red head a glare which didn't bother her at all.
"This is the Master's decision. Do we not have a duty to live up to his expectations?" Ur noted calmly.
"But what about Gray and Lyon or even Gajeel? They'd be much better suited for a battle like this!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Well, the three of them had other jobs to do!" Mirajane replied.
"In the end, it's the usual gang I see!" Erza said tiredly as she closed her eye.
"By the way Erza…" Lucy began causing the red head looked at her. "…What's with that eye-patch of yours?" Lucy pointed her finger at the eye-patch that covered Erza's left eye.
"Now that you mention it, I want to know as well!" Ur joined as well.
"Me either!" Kagura and Mirajane said.
Erza looked at them before sighed. "I lost my left eye during my mission in Britannia." Erza answered causing the other gasped in shock.
"What happened?" Ur asked.
"I don't feel like to telling you the details!" Erza replied caused Ur narrowed her eyes at her, knowing that Erza was hiding something from her.
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 03:09 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Master Bob's Mansion
"Somebody please tell me why do I have this sudden urge to smash this 'mansion' to smithereens?" Erza asked herself as she and the team entered the pink building, decorated with golden 'hearts'.
"I don't know about this place, either…" Lucy mumbled. "…This place's décor is seriously creepy…"
"It's a villa belonging to master Bob of Blue Pegasus," Ur explained her teammate.
"Ah, that's why!" Erza realized.
Suddenly, lights in entire mansion dimmed as ray of bright light lit up the middle of the hall, highlighting three people. "Ladies and gentlemen of Fairy Tail…" All three were speaking in chorus, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. We are the delegation from Blue Pegasus… the Trimens." Ray of light faded, allowing Fairy Tail's mage take a closer look at the trio.
A slim young man of average height, with spiky, somewhat messy brownish blond hair framing his face came forward, "I'm Hibiki of the Hundred Nights!" He introduced himself.
A slim, rather short boy with blonde hair kept in a neat bowl cut made a step forward, "Greetings, I'm Eve of Holy Night!"
Quite gloomy young man with dark, spiky hair and tanned skin came forward, "I'm Ren of Silent Night," He said with quiet voice.
"Trimens of Blue Pegasus?!" Lucy squeaked in excitement, "How cool! And the one called Hibiki… He's always on the top lines of the 'I wish he were my boyfriend' ranking in the Weekly Sorcerer!"
"Oh wow!" All Trimens dashed to all Fairy Tail's mages.
"The Ur Milkovich of Seiten Dai Madoshi [Ten Wizard Saints]!"
"And beautiful Titania! Here, live!"
"Mirajane-san! you're even more gorgeous than on photos!"
All three were speaking in course, standing around two slayers, causing them a headache. But then…all three dashed to Erza.
"You are every bit as beautiful as the rumors says," Hibiki bowed before silver-haired girl.
"A pleasure to meet you, miss Erza," Eve welcomed the red haired Devil Slayer
"Please, step this way," Ren asked Erza to follow him and before she knew it she was sitting on big sofa, located under big 'heart' on the wall.
"Please, take this to wash your hands," Hibiki offered a towel.
"Will you have your drink diluted?" Eve opened a bottle of white wine.
"Oh, thank you," Erza smiled playfully that somehow sent a shiver sensation through her comrade's spines. "If you don't mind, can the three of you jump off from the roof with your heads hit the ground first?"
"As your command, your highness!" The Trimens saluted before they went to the roof with the speed that surprisingly Erza couldn't follow before Fairy Tail's mages heard the Trimens screamed, indicating that they had jumped off from the room just as Erza 'requested' before they slammed the ground with the loud 'thud'.
Not even five second later, the Trimens entered back the mansion with their face covered with bruises from the very hard landing before they kneeled before Erza. "Anything else, your highness?" The three asked again, causing Erza to grin manically.
'And to think everyone call me She-Devil!' Mirajane thought with a sweat-drop as she and her comrades watched Erza ordered her 'minions' to do what she said. Hibiki to massage her shoulder, Ren to polish her boots while Eve to serve Erza with the best chocolate cake they had.
"Ahh! So cute…" Eve, in the meantime, seemed amazed at how Erza eating the cake. "…to tell the truth… I had always admired you… Your face is simply marvelous!"
"I'm aware of that!" Erza seemed disappointed with boy's lack of imagination to say something original.
"What is going on here?!..." Seemingly Lucy lost it.
Suddenly, Ren appeared behind her. "You… Have a seat yourself. And hey… you're just too damn cute…" He added, gently wrapping his arm around Lucy's waist and pulling her towards the sofa.
"Ahhhh!" Lucy yelped.
"Is Bob really thinks that this is joking? Sending us these three idiots to fight against one of three top Dark Guilds?" Ur asked with narrowed eyes as she was a bit displeased with Trimen's behavior. Both Kagura and Mirajane kept silence, they also had no answer for this question as they also were a bit…puzzled, to put it mildly.
Ren offered Lucy to sit down near Erza, and filled a glass with white wine. However, when he moved the glass closer to blonde, his expression suddenly became gloomy, "It's not like I made it specially for you, or anything…"
"And now he's tsundere?!" Lucy now lost it completely.
"Come… You must be tired from your long journey…" Hibiki came out in front of two girls. "Let us spend this night of rest together…"
Two other guys joined him and all three said in chorus, kneeling, "Forever!"
"What the fuck was that?!" Even Mirajane was shocked with immense stupidity of that what just happened. She never saw so absurdly acting womanizers before, and she saw a lot.
"My guests…" Another voice sounded from upstairs, "…I think that is quite enough of this, yes?"
"Uh… what the?! What is this silky-sweet voice?!" Lucy stuttered, her entire body trembling all over.
"It's Ichiya-sama!" Ren said with reverential whisper.
"I-Ichiya?!" Kagura also stuttered with her body shivered as she overheard Ren's words.
"You know him?" Ur wondered and Kagura didn't answer her as the voice continued.
"It's been a while, my dear Kagura-san…" It was a short and rather stout man with a distinctively big face, a large flat nose which always seems to be shining, and prominent cheekbones. He has dark eyes and thick eyebrows. He was dressed into a white suit with elbow-long sleeves, with distinctive pants ending below his knees in dark hems, adorned by Blue Pegasus' symbol on its left shoulder.
"I have longed to see you my honey!" Hearing Ichiya called Kagura 'his honey', Erza burst out into laughter. "Worry not Ichiya is here for you~!"
"I deny everything that crazy man has said!" Kagura testified against Ichiya statement as she glared at Erza who was holding her stomach and rolling on the floor while still laughing.
"You perfume is as fragrance lovely as ever Kagura-san my love. Wait there is two," Ichiya said closing his attention on Lucy. "Your perfume smells delightful." He said giving her two thumbs up while pointing at her.
"I've never been so creeped out before in my life." Lucy said shaking in fear thinking what this guy would do to her if they were alone.
Suddenly Ichiya was behind Kagura, smelling her armored shoulder. "Such an amazing perfume like always, Kagura-san." Ichiya said smelling the black haired Knight which creep her out to no end.
"GET YOUR FUCKING SNOUT OFF MY FUCKING ASS! YOU FUCKING FREAK!" Titania yelled as she slammed her gauntlet fist into Ichiya face, sending him flying towards mansion's door.
"MEEEHN!" Ichiya cried desperately, calling for help from his team, which, by the way, still haven't returned.
"She went and did it!" Lucy exclaimed in shock while Erza and others also looked at Kagura in surprise. None of them, even considering Mirajane's eight years rivalry with Titania, she never heard so much of dirty swearing in one sentence.
"Um... I'm sorry..." Kagura seems surprised even herself with to what extent she lost her composure.
In the meantime, someone else appeared on the mansion's doorstep, and caught flying Ichiya by his head. "ENOUGH!" The person bellowed with low voice as putting Ichiya down. A tall and massive man with a heavily muscular figure, dressed in ancient Aztec-like clothes, appeared in the mansion's doorstep. "We're here to form an alliance and defeat the Oracion Seis. There is no time to be fighting among ourselves!" The man's name was Jura Neekis, the ace of Lamia Scale guild. "Ur-dono," Neekis addressed directly to the ice mage. "As Seiten no Madoshi [Wizard Saint], you should be an example for others…"
"Sorry, Jura, but dealing with these people is nerve cracking" Ur merely replied.
"Jura?!" Kagura also looked at tall man.
"This man is…" Mirajane began.
"The ace of Lamia…Gan Tetsu no Jura [Iron Rock Jura] …"
"It's seems everyone is here." Jura said as he looked around.
"Now, then… since everyone has finally arrived…" Ichiya stepped forward, making another pointless 'fabulous' gesture. "I shall proceed to the explanation of our strategy!" He came to the middle of the hall. "But first… I must visit the perfume of the lavatory!" Shorty suddenly announced and ran away, making everyone to facepalm, except for Trimens as they applaud to their 'leader'.
"Did you really need to mention 'perfume' there…?" Ur asked with sweatdrop.
(Change Scene)
After some 'delay', Ichiya finally proceed to explaining the situation about Oracion Seis. "North of our current location, lies the Worth Woodsea. It is there that a mighty magic was sealed away in ancient times. Its name…Nirvana!" He declared, making dramatic gesture.
"Nirvana?" Lucy asked again.
"Never heard of it," Mirajane said.
"Have you, Jura?" Ur inquired.
"No… I know not the name…" Jura replied.
Erza merely ignored the briefing while lazily sitting on the couch and eating her chocolate cake which Hibiki brough from the kitchen. She already knew what Nirvana is and about Oracion Seis, all of its member, their power and abilities and their goals from her sensei. But she didn't say anything because…well, she was too lazy to do so.
Ren gave the others some explanations about Nirvana. To sum it all, it was dare project which initiated by the ancient mages. However, their creation appeared to be too dangerous so they sealed it away to prevent anyone from abusing its power.
At least it was all that Hibiki managed to find in archive.
"But we don't know exactly what kind of magic it was," Eve admitted.
"But since the Oracion Seis have gathered in the Worth Woodsea, we should assume that Nirvana is their goal," Hibiki explained.
Ur merely looked at Erza who ignored all what the Blue Pegasus's mages had said. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the red head, knowing that the Devil Slayer was hiding something from them.
And she didn't like it.
"In order to prevent Oración Seis from obtaining power of Nirvana…" Ichiya made another dramatic gesture "…we must defeat them now!"
"We have fourteen mages, whilst they have but six. But we would do well not to underestimate them. Each of those six mages is extremely powerful." Hibiki activated his Akaibu [Archive] magic, summoning the portraits of six enemy mages, known as Oracion Seis.
"The mage who used Doku no Maho [Poison Magic], Cobra" Hibiki pointed at portrait of young man with tanned skin and spiky, upward-styled maroon-colored hair.
"Wow, this guy really looks like a bad guy. Look at that slated eyes of his!" Mirajane commented.
"Racer, whose name would appear to indicate that he uses speed-related magic." Portrait showed a long-faced man with blond and black hair as blonde, central part of his hair being styled in a long, spiky mohawk.
"I guess this is what you call hate on the first sight." Kagura murmured.
"The one who can destroy an entire squad only for profit, Tengen no Hoteye [The Heavenly Eye Hoteye]," A man with long hair, and face consisting of geometrical forms with sharp angles, appeared on the screen.
"For profit?" Ur shook her head in disagreement.
"Despicable!" Jura said.
"Angel, a woman who is said to be able to see into your heart," Hibiki pointed at portrait of a young woman with pale skin, short silvery hair, with bangs covering her forehead, and indigo-colored eyes.
"Um…Why do I have this feeling that I'll be the one who face her?" Lucy's body shivered slightly.
"Information of this man is scarce, but we know his codename: Midnight." Image of a very lean young man with short spiky black hair on the top, and longer, straight white hair on the bottom appeared in the air.
"And finally, the center of them all, Brain." Hibiki showed a portrait of man with neat silver hair that reaches his shoulders, dark eyes and dark skin. Also he had some markings on his face, in shape of straight black lines.
Ur narrowed her eyes darkly at the image, seemingly she recognized the man.
"Rumors say that each one of these mages has enough power to annihilate a guild singlehandedly," Eve informed.
"We must take full advantage of our numerical superiority," Ren declared.
"Er… erm… you probably shouldn't bother counting me at all…" Lucy mumbled with shaking voice.
"How are we going to find their base?" Kagura suddenly asked.
"With this!" Eve said pointing to the sky revealing a mechanical horse shaped Zeppelin.
"We're use a giant bomber?" Lucy asked in astonishment at how massive the robotic airship was.
"That's right. Now everyone remember to fight in groups of at least two. Never fight alone." Jura heeded.
"Then what are we waiting for…" Erza roared as she jumped off from her 'throne', scaring everyone in process. "Let's go, I'll wipe the floor the six of them myself!" As soon as she declared that, Erza was charging to the north, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Erza wait…We have to fight together!" Ur yelled at the red head but she seems didn't or pretended didn't heard her.
"I'm not letting that fire-breathing slut outshine me here." Mirajane said as she ran after Erza, followed by Kagura and Ur since they thought somebody must keep the snow haired girl from doing something stupid.
"Let's get those Dark Guild bastards, Trimens." Ren said as he ran after Kagura and Mirajane with his friends behind him.
The mansion was empty, only Jura and 'Ichiya' left. "Goodness." Jura mumbled while shook his head.
"Jura you're a Wizard Saint correct?" Ichiya asked as he looked up to Jura who nodded his head. "Would that make you as powerful as Master Makarov and Ur Milkovich?"
Jura chuckled a little as he shook his head modestly. "Hehe…not even close, Seiten Dai Madoshi [Ten Wizard Saint] is only a title given to a powerful mage. I am the weakest among them. I'm still nothing compare to Makarov-dono and Ur-dono." Jura explained to the small man.
"That's a relief if you were things would be difficult." 'Ichiya' said showing a sinister smile as he opened a vial filled with strange purple liquid.
"What are-" When Jura was about to asked, when he coughed and spluttered ashe inhaled the fragrance from the perfume. "Ichiya-dono? What's is the meaning of this?" Jura roared at 'Ichiya' who merely gleamed into smile.
'Ichiya' suddenly puffed out into white smoke before the smoke dissipated, revealing two blue small creatures. "Wee…we're back." The two said at the same time.
"What the-what happened to Ichiya-dono?" Jura said as he fell to his knees.
"Wonder what happened to Ichiya? He was the first in this petty alliance to bite the dust. He is in the bathroom and being tied up." A feminine voice said from the outside.
Jura looked up in pain as his magic being drain from the magic perfume from before. He saw the exact woman with white hair who Hibiki showed to everyone. "Angel…You whore." Jura cursed as he fell over on his face.
"Aren't these two awesome? They can copy anybody by scanning them. They are only spirits, it's not like they matter anyway. But I won't let you interfere little children of light…if you try you will meet an Angel's judgment." The white haired woman said, closing the front door and leaving the building.
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 03:55 P.M, Egolas, Western Side of Egolas.
The Knight of Two, Rogue Cheney converted himself into shadow and maneuvered to his left in FTL speed when a 90ft purple Dragon with two large horns on his head and a pair of bat-like wing on his back, shot a very gigantic fireball the size of medium asteroid from his mouth.
(BOOOOOOOOM)
The fireball crashed the ground, shocking the entire planet and creating a massive fireball that grew to a diameter of fifty kilometers in the blink of eyes, instantly incinerated everything within the radius three hundreds kilometers from the fireball, including the numerous fodder Dragons that was under command of the purple Dragon.
The effect was enormous.
After the wave passed, the intense heat sparked thousands of fires through the remains of the affected areas. Nearly thirty five percents of Western side of Egolas was now a huge wasteland that would have been easily visible from orbit.
Rogue emerged from the shadow and looked at the destruction that purple Dragon had caused with stunned face. 'Dear GOD! That attack could easily wipe out an entire country.' He thought to himself in shock at Dragon's capabilities.
Rogue then put on his guard when the purple Dragon from before landed in front of him. The Dragon looked down at the Knight of Two with curious look. "Hmm…not bad, human! You're so far the first human that could survive my attack, although you took some heavy damages." The Dragon commented as he looked at Rogue's scorched right arm.
This Dragon was the Blaze Meteor Dragon known as Tannin, a high-class Dragon under Acnologia's command who can wiped out an entire large continent with ease. Unlike the other Dragons, Tannin was the only one who willingly to follow Acnologia out of pure instinct when Acnologia appeared in front of him and that's why the Ryu no O [The Dragon King] made the purple Dragon as his second in command in his army.
Tannin raised his massive right claw and slammed in to Rogue with the intent to squash him, but the Knight of Two jumped to his right just in time as the claw hit the ground where Rogue was standing, creating a huge linear blast to be generated in front of the Dragon, surging up to the sky in height and covering an incredibly long area seemingly twenty kilometers while causing astounding damage, capable of drastically changing the appearance of its elongated point of impact.
However, Rogue wasn't prepared when Tannin swung his massively thick tail at Rogue. The man grunted in pain as he felt three of his ribs been shattered by the force of the tail attack before he was sent sprawling on the ground. Tannin charged at Rogue with speed of light as he raised his left claw before swung it down at Rogue who barely able to jumped away to his left just in time to dodge another linear blast from the Dragon.
Tannin shot another fireball at Rogue, although this time it wasn't as huge as the last one but still powerful as hell. Rogue widened his eyes at when the fireball made its way towards him and thinks quickly before he took a very deep breath.
"Eiryu no Hoko! [Shadow Dragon's Roar]!" Rogue shot a gigantic tornado of shadows from his mouth.
(BOOOOOM)
When the fireball clashed with the tornado of shadows, it created another huge explosion that engulfed anything within the radius three kilometers. Rogue watched Tannin flew out from the cloud of smoke with his claw ready to squash the Dragon Slayer.
Rogue closed his left eye for a moment before opened it, his left eye was emitting a very bright light, stopping Tannin on his track. As the light died down, Tannin saw his opponent's entire body now becomes cloaked in shadows while the other half remains normal in appearance.
"Modo Hakueiryu! [White Shadow Dragon Mode]!"
Tannin widened his eyes in shock when he felt the human's power he fought just skyrocketed through the roof. Tannin widened his eyes in shock when Rogue took a very deep breath. The purple Draogn thinks quickly and fired a giant fireball at the Dragon Slayer prepared to counter the Dragon's attack with his own.
"Hakueiryu no Hoko! [White Shadow Dragon's Roar]!" With a roar, Rogue unleashed a gigantic tornado of lights and shadows towards the incoming attack.
Rogue first roar attack was nothing compared to this one as the absurdly gigantic tornado of lights and shadows split not only the sky, but the entire area in a giant flash of black and white light. The tornado expanded easily becoming ten times bigger than the fireball from Tannin. It easily engulfed the fireball without any resistance on its part before it continued swallowing up the Tannin's body like an ant compared to a massive tidal wave.
Tannin's roars of agony erupted before they were overcome by Rogue's roar attack. The roar attack continued on barreling through the wasteland, swallowing up the mountains on the other side of Planet until it finally reached the space, resulting in a gigantic sized of white and black explosion of magic that was clearly visible for anyone in entire Egolas Planet.
Deactivating his Modo Hakueiryu [White Shadow Dragon Mode], Knight of Two then floated out to the space and looked down to the Planet from the orbit. The trench which was clearly visible from the orbit stretched on from the western side of the planet to the southern side of Egolas until it ended on the edge of the planet which had a giant hole on its atmosphere.
'Wow, now that's scary...I'm just hoping Secilia and Monica weren't caught on crossfire.' He thought with a frown, worrying about his comrades.
"Don't worry…they are safe!" A voice said from behind the Dragon Slayer. Rogue looked from his shoulder to see a man with long black hair which tied into pony-tail like him, walked towards him.
"Why are you here, Mard Geer Tartaros?" Rogue questioned and narrowed his eyes to the man known as Mard Geer Tartaros who none other than Tartaros second in command.
A random purple colored Dragon, which seems to be one of Tannin underling that was survived, suddenly appeared behind Rogue but before Rogue could do anything, numerous green thorny rose vines which seemingly appeared from nowhere pierced through the Dragon's body who roared in pain as it died in agony.
Mard swept his left arm caused the vines to disappear, letting go the Dragon's corpse as it floated to random direction in space. "Master E.N.D ordered Mard to escort you to Dimension Gap." Mard answered as he swept his left index finger to his side, opened a familiar portal that lead to Dimension Gap. "He also ordered you to return to Britannia and watch over the Empire during Master E.N.D and Knight of One's absence!"
Rogue simply nodded as he entered the portal, leaving Mard alone above Egolas's orbit. Mard then formed a silver small sphere with atomic shape, composed of quite amount of Juryoku [Curse Power] on his left palm and casually threw it towards Egolas before he entered the portal.
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM)
As the portal closed by itself, the entire Egolas exploded into titanic explosion of Juryoku and in instant easily wiped out the entire planet from existence.
Sunday, August 19th, Year X784, 03:47 P.M, Egolas, Eastern Side of Egolas [Eight minutes before Mard destroys the planet].
The Knight of One, as well as the Emperor Britannia's adoptive little sister, Wendy Marvell looked up to a giant red Dragon with a smile that adored her cute face.
"It's been a while, Igneel!" Wendy opened up the conversation. "I've never thought to be grace by your presence in here of all places."
"As ever, you're still following 'him' around like a lost puppy." Igneel replied while emphasize the word 'him' which caused Wendy scowled since she knew that was referred to E.N.D, her older brother. "It's really been a while, Wendy Marvell."
"You're one to talk! Knowing that you're always trying to kill him which you were always failed miserably." Wendy noted calmly, causing the Enryuo [The King of Flame Dragon] to adopt a scowl in his face. "But still, I wonder why would someone as prideful as you are, serving to Acnologia of all being?" Wendy questioned the Dragon as she thought that Igneel was here because Acnologia had subjugated him in battle.
Unfortunately, her thought was wrong when Igneel found the girl's question was hilarious and bellowed into laughter, much to Wendy annoyance. "BWAHAHAHAHAHA. ME! THE ONE AND ONLY IGNEEL, SERVING TO THAT PSEUDO DRAGON THAT EVEN BEING CONTROLLED BY A PATHETIC EXCUSE OF HUMAN LIKE ZEREF!" Igneel ranted while still laughing like a mad Dragon.
"Not that I'm defending them or something, but both the pseudo Dragon and the pathetic excuse of human you referred are even more powerful than you are." Wendy noted again, causing the fire Dragon stopped his laughter. "Hell, even both I and E.N.D were doing much better against those two and their army than you and your entire high-class Dragons army." Wendy continued, making Igneel scowling even more. "So, of all three big factions, yours is the weakest one!"
"You dare lecture me little girl!" Igneel lost his cool and snapped at Wendy with thundered voice that even caused the entire planet seems trembled.
If Wendy was a mere twelve years old girl, she would have trembled in fear by now. But Wendy was no mere girl, so she merely gave the Dragon a pierced glare that even made few of the most powerful Dragons cowered in fear. But unfortunately, Igneel wasn't one of them as he merely glared back at the girl.
"Why are you here anyway Igneel?" Wendy finally asked, breaking the tension between the two.
"I'm here to investigate when I felt someone ripped open the Dimension Gap and ended up on this Planet!" Igneel answered the girl who scowled at the thought Igneel aware that her older brother opened the portal to Dimension Gap. "I felt an immensely quite mount of Maryoku [Magic Power] concentrate on one place, only to find you're mercilessly slaughtering these Dragons!" Igneel continued with a hint of fury in his voice.
Wendy then pointed her finger at the numerous corpses of Dragons that was lay all over the field, few of them were unrecognizable because Wendy butchered them into pieces. "These Dragons werethe same Dragons Zeref will use to massacre humanity on Dragon King Festival in the near future. I'm just trying to minimize innocent human's casualties." Wendy countered Igneel's statement. She then saw a Dragon among the corpses started moving around. She quickly swept her right hand to her side, creating a powerful blade made of wind that easily beheaded the Dragon, killing it in instant.
Igneel saw this and couldn't help but pissed at this girl killing one of his kinds nonchalantly. "Most of these Dragons can be redeemed, but you using violence as the only method of solving conflict make you looked no better than Acnologia." At that statement, Wendy narrowed her eyes dangerously at Igneel. "I even dare to say that you slay more Dragons that Acnologia did and became Dragon yourself, you're much worse than him." As soon as Igneel finished saying that, Wendy flared her absolutely vast dark blue Maryoku that shook not only Egolas, but the entire Milky Way Galaxy greatly.
Even right now, millions light years away across the Galaxy, an extremely massive Earthquake washed over the entire Earthland for full ten second before it died down as if nothing happened.
Soon, Wendy had entered her Doragon Fosu [Dragon Force]. She gained pink eyes together with a longer hair which now pink in color instead of blue that curves and points upwards. The Dragon Slayer also has white scales that sprung out of her back like a pair wings and smaller ones on her wrists and ankles.
"Do NOT ever compare me to that monster!" Wendy said with a very low tone that barely audible, even for Dragon's extremely sensitive ears. But this low tone indicated that she was extremely pissed.
Wait a minute, scratch that, she was BEYOND pissed.
"I don't outright slay every Dragon on my sight, Atlas Flame and Grandine are being prime example for that statement!" Wendy continued as she walked forward to the giant red Dragon who was taken back by the power this little girl unleashing. She was so pissed at the thought being compared to Acnologia.
That was an unforgivable crime.
Wendy then widened her eyes, her pink pupils shrunk as tiniest as it can while she smiled sadistically at Enryuo before she decided to herself.
"It's settled then, I will destroy you once for all for your unforgivable crime and more importantly, for always getting in my brother's way!"
