A/N: So, I realized something kind of important as I recently went back through the first part of Fairy Tail, I have accidently skipped the Oracion Seis arc in this fiction, for some reason I had it in my head that it went Edolas Arc into Oracion Seis, but it's the other way around, I apologize if this caused anybody confusion and I am just going to switch them around.

The sun was barely tipping the horizon in The Royal city, the expansive mass of concrete spread out for miles, it seemed divided into four segments, each face a direction outward with a central road leading towards the large castle in the centre, it would have been a peaceful morning, if the Royal Army hadn't managed to anger the strongest four mages of Earthlands Fairy Tail.

Natsu pulled on the cloak he wore uncomfortably, the large brown tattered piece of cloth reminded him of Raken wore when he was Mystogan, he pulled the thing around his head and made it sit a little more normally, the whole point of it was to disguise him on the way to The Royal City, he groaned in annoyance as the wind blew it out of place again, it covered more of his eyes than he wanted and flickered around the edge of his vision.

"You there, What's your business in the city." By the sound of armored footsteps closing on him, Natsu assumed they were talking to him, he flicked his head moving the cloak out of the way of his eyes, he looked around himself quickly, he counted 5 guards, he took a deep breath as he extended magic power from the soles of his feet, covering the ground in a thin sheet of power, the guard progressively made their way onto it. He smiled as the last one finally planted his foot on his little trap.

"Well, That depends, you mind telling me whose in that Giant Lacrima you are showing off?" Natsu asked calmly.

The soldier staggered over the question "That mean's your-" His announcement was cut off as Natsu flared his power outwards, the sheet flew into the air sending the guards with it. He spun the cloak around himself and tossed it to the side, revealing his standard cuirass, he continued to expel power from around him, it shook the ground as he walked into the city, after all it was his job to make Raken's travel easier, Alarm bells sounded and soldiers began pouring into the streets in front of him, one of them charged him, Natsu pivoted and sent a punch straight to his jaw, the man groaned as he was sent flying backwards, he slammed into a few of his comrades leaving one of the buildings ahead of him, Natsu tightened his fist as he stepped forward before lowering his weight and launching himself into the steadily growing number of soldiers.

Erza clenched her fists as she strode down the centre of the eastern road, most of the soldiers were distracted by the substantial amount o noise being made by Natsu already and hadn't noticed her presence as of yet. She tapped one of the guards on the shoulder and her turned to her in surprise.

"Excuse me, Would you mind directing me to the Four General's your army so highly praises? I would absolutely love to crush them." She growled crush menacingly as she lifted her fist and it engulfed in flame to emphasize her point.

"You-." He cut off as Erza slammed her fist into him, sending him hurtling into the wall opposite her with a loud crash.

That gained her the attention she wanted as battalions of soldiers streamed towards her 'Either they have underestimated Natsu or they have a massive force to spare.' She thought to herself as she widened her stance and flexed inwardly, embers crackled around her slowly as he hair lifted into the air and seemed to glow with a hues of fire, she flashed a toothy grin as a pillar of fire erupted around her and into the sky.

She stepped forward slowly planting her foot forcibly, the cobblestone road underneath her feet shattered as she launched herself forward and slammed through the lines of soldiers, using the man she had grabbed in the front row she swung him around herself and launched him into his comrades.

Her eyes darted to her left as set of men aimed funny looking spears towards her, small golden orbs of light shot towards her as she dragged her fire across like a cloak the bullets reflected of uselessly, she locked her stance and placed a hand against her mouth.

"Karyu no Hoko." (Fire Dragon's Roar.)

A large arc of fire spread from her mouth, the men who didn't dive out of the way fast enough disintegrated.

Raken and Wendy stood on a cliff overlooking the southeastern side of the city, a small maintenance gate in the wall would be their entrance as a large pillar of fire erupted from the eastern road, he could feel the small tremors from Natsu expenditure of Magic energy from where he was, he nodded to Wendy and the two darted down the road and flattened themselves against the wall, they moved along slowly Raken opened the gate quickly and moved inside, Wendy followed close behind him.

"Why are you being so careful?!" Wendy whispered angrily

"If anyone in the army is smart they will recognize a diversionary tactic like this in a second, then it's a just a matter of finding the least guarded entry point, basically, where we are now and waiting." Raken explained back normally

"Ah, I see." Wendy nodded her head in understanding

A slow ringing clap rang through the storage room they occupied, a shuffle of a cloak and then a loud thud was heard as someone landed opposite them, the person seemed to be about Raken's height his slow sarcastic clapping made Raken grit his teeth.

"You are not as stupid as you look I see, Good I would hate for this to end too quickly." The voice was eerily familiar, Wendy cocked her head to the side slightly at the sound.

Raken hit his fist against his hand as a grin enveloped his features "I was praying one of you would be smart enough to find me, I'd hate to let my Big brother have all the fun."

"Oh?" The figure hummed in question

"I may be able to appear calm in all situations, But don't be mislead at all," Raken practically growled savagely "You've pissed me off."

Raken glowed a soft golden light and Wendy saw his mouth whisper a incantation before he charged forward in nothing less than a gold flash, he grabbed his opponent by the neck and slammed through the adjacent door into the street, wood clattered against stone as the door exploded in every direction, Raken's cloaked opponent slammed into a concrete wall and groaned slightly in pain, Raken stayed lowered in the centre of the street, watching his opponent carefully.

The sound of armored boots met his ears as soldiers rushed around the corner.

"Did you really think I would come alone?!" The cloaked boy spoke cockily "I smart man uses every advantage at his disposal and I am, a smart man."

Raken straightened his back and cracked his neck with a sigh "It would seem, You are not smart enough." He taunted flatly.

"Tenryu no Hoko!" (Sky Dragon's Roar.)

A wide circling gust of wind ripped through the approaching soldiers, it tore their weapons to ribbons and sent many of them flying into the air, Wendy landed gracefully lowering her body and taking up her stance, her eyes darted around the battalion of soldiers as some of them regained their footing and drew short swords or other weaponry.

"I'll leave them to you Wendy," Raken announced simply "I have to be sure to keep my appointments."

"Be sure to leave at least one of the Generals for me," Wendy cooed playfully "I can't let Erza down you know."

"Of course." Raken refocused on the cloaked boy opposite him, the same soft glow enveloped his skin as he shot forward, His opponent waited carefully before drawing a long quarterstaff like weapon, each end was bladed in an odd shape Raken had never seen before, the blade was at least the length of his head, it was a wide arch ended in a bladed tip, the blunt edge had a hook protruding from it. It was the same at either end except the blade was inverted. The boy swung it around his head and brought it down, Raken rolled to the side and used the wall behind his opponent as a stepping stone, launching a powerful kick into the back of the boys head, the boy planted against the ground heavily and his cloak fell away from him. Raken flipped away and landed lightly.

The boy got to his feet slowly and shook his head, he shot a powerful glare at Raken.

Raken blinked a few times in shock 'Ah, I don't think I will ever get used to looking at myself like this.'

The Edolas Raken spat a small amount of blood and wiped the corner of his mouth.

A large portion of the castle wall exploded in fire as Erza stalked through it, Natsu had drawn way more soldiers to him than she had so she had made it too the castle first.

"Ah, The Imposters little wench." A voice that was almost sickeningly familiar if it weren't for the sadistic undertone it held addressed her.

"What's wrong Nightsbane? Did someone hurt your feelings?" She cooed as if talking to a child.

"Ah, I can see why Dragneel is so taken with you," The man jumped from the second floor balcony and landed with a heavy thud, He wore a tight black sleeveless shirt, black gloves covered his hands and small amount of silver lined the edge of the gauntlets covering his wrists "I wonder what he would do, If I took you from him?"

Erza's eyes narrowed on the man in front of her dangerously as fire enveloped her entire form and rolled away from her in waves.

A sickeningly pleases grin remained on Nightsbane's face the entire team, his large spear glowed gold and it's form changed shape, the handle and blade turned red with a gold carving wrapping around his obscuring his hands slightly.

Erza charged him, the force of her leap leaving a crater in the ground as her fist met the spears handle with a large explosion of energy, Erza's eyes widened as her fire evaporated around her, being in the air like she was she had no way to reposition she closed her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her as a powerful roundhouse kick sent her flying into a corner of the castle grounds, she coughed and blood sprayed from her mouth, she got to her feet shakily.

"You honestly believed you could win?!" Nightsbane openly laughed as he planted his foot and lifted the spear behind his head slightly.

Erza stumbled against the wall as her arms and legs felt like they had been snapped in half, she clawed her way to her feet and gritted her teeth, nothing happened, she lifted her hand to her face and attempted to ignite it with no success, she looked up at her attacker slowly as he rifled the spear towards her.

A second explosion shook the ground as Natsu's head snapped to the castle a feeling of pain stabbed through his chest and his eyes widened slightly, he gritted his teeth and raised his hands in front of him, throwing them to the side as two large portions of his power slammed the soldiers in front of him against the walls, leaving no room for error he continued to press them against the walls until their bodies stopped twitching.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, jumping into the air he barreled down against the wall, shattering a large section of it and rolling to his feet taking in the courtyard in a single glance, he darted towards Erza, she was limp against the wall a large spear he recognized protruding from the right side of her chest.

His hand hovered a few inches from her face.

"Ah, He broke," A familiar voice noted flatly "You were right, Ni-chan."

Natsu glowed gold slightly, a dark trench coat, black pants and black combat boots appeared around him, he clenched his fists as his shoulders shook slightly and he turned to face the pair of voices, he was vaguely aware of other footsteps moving to join the two generals in the courtyard.

One was a tall blonde, with long sideburns down either side of his face, he wore pale pink armor and had a sword strapped to his waist, he practically wafted overconfidence.

"Ah, Your plan has been executed perfectly, Nightsbane sir." The blonde bowed his head slightly

"Still, These guys sure were pushovers." The final man spoke up as he entered the courtyard, the boy had thick long purple hair with a stripe of white down the front right side, he had strange arrow like eyebrows that almost looked like clock hands, he wore a long white trench coat with golden trim and gold shoulder guards, matching pants and a black undershirt with an olive green crisscross pattern on it.

Natsu shook visibly as he squared himself against the four generals of the royal army, his hair hooded his eyes and his fists tightened until his knuckles cracked 'dead,' The word rang clearly in his mind 'Erza's dead, I promised to protect her and she's dead.' He shot a glare towards the four in front of him that would kill a charging rhino.

Nightsbane was the only one who took it without flinching "You know Dragneel, It really was too easy, You are…well me," He gloated "All I had to think about was what would I do in your shoes and you did exactly what I thought you would."

"Hey," Natsu called in a dead tone his eyes devoid of any light as he stepped forward with a dangerous sway his face splitting into a wide sadistic grin "I don't think the dead should speak." He continued darkly

Nightsbane gripped his spare weapon slightly tighter as the pinkette advanced towards him.

Natsu shot forward with a rush of air, his face inches from his Edolas doppelganger "Die." He ordered flatly as he grabbed the man's head and slammed it into the ground.

The other generals staggered back slightly just from the force of Natsu's killer intent, but they regained their senses quickly enough, Edolas Raken moved to attack him first launching a kick towards Natsu's head, the pinkette caught it and twisted harshly, Edolas Raken let out a pained shout before he felt the sensation of leaving the ground, his vision cleared in time to see a fist slam into his face and send him hurtling into a wall at the opposite of the courtyard.

The one in the pink armor moved towards Natsu a moment later, drawing the sword and bringing it down towards Natsu's head, Natsu launched a punch forward, it connected with the blade and it snapped in two, Natsu pivoted forward grabbed the blonde around the neck and slamming him into the other general he didn't know as he stomped down on Nightsbane's chest harshly, causing blood to fly from his doppelgangers mouth.

"Make peace with your demons, I'm sending you all to hell." Natsu growled darkly.

Raken could feel murderous intent from where he was 'They have something to do with this, I know it.' He thought worriedly

"Wendy! We need to get to the castle right now!" He shouted

"Thank you captain obvious! Just how do you propose we do that?!" Wendy shouted back as he swept wind around her to gain a little bit of space.

"Hold your arms out to your sides!" Raken ordered with a shout as he pushed his meteor to its limits, Wendy did as he said and he grabbed her before taking off into the sky, rolling himself around and angling it correctly, he hit the ground of the courtyard with a heavy thud and winced as his ankle rolled, he tested it once and concluded he could still move.

"Erza!" Wendy shouted in worry, she darted towards the red head lifting her head slightly and opening her eye, it was small and definitely fading, but she was still barely clinging to life, Wendy pulled the large spear free from her chest and placed her hands over the wound, slowing stitching the skin together while uttering small prayers to whatever deity was listening.

Raken stared towards the centre of the courtyard in open mouth shock, Wendy glanced at him before following his gaze, she felt her blood run cold staring at the face that should have belonged to Natsu Dragneel, He lifted his doppelganger into the air by the throat, Wendy could see from where he was the boy was barely climbing to consciousness as it was, he scratched at Natsu's wrist weakly and his leg twitched as oxygen was forced from his body.

"Raken! Stop him! Erza isn't dead!" Wendy shouted at the top of her lungs.

Raken lowered slightly and launched at his older brother slamming into him with his hip and shoulder, Wendy turned back towards the terminal red head and focused, she need Erza to have enough energy to speak to Natsu, the glow around her hands grew a slightly more violent blue.

Nightsbane tumbled to the ground towards his younger brother, who was currently unconscious by the wall, Sugarboy and Hughes were also out of the fight 'Who?" Nightsbane though hazily as he coughed more blood against the pavement, his eyes settled on a tattooed youth that looked like the spitting image of his younger brother, the boy watched the pinkette carefully.

Raken placed himself in between Natsu and the Edolas version "Big Brother, You need to calm down." Raken commanded flatly

"Move." Natsu growled

"I won't let you do this." Raken responded defiantly

"You can't beat me Raken, Nobody can, get out of my way." Natsu growled darkly

"Looks like I am going to have to beat some sense into you then, Just like we did for Jellal." Raken straightened slightly

"I don't want to kill you Raken, Get out of my way or you will end up hurt." Natsu warned flatly

Wendy had long since tuned out of the conversation, sweat beaded on her brow as he worked to repair the damage done by the spear "Erza, If there was ever a time to be stubborn now would be it, Your mate might actually kill somebody if this goes on."

Wendy had managed to stop the external bleeding, she gritted her teeth as her concentration slipped and she shook her head violently and refocused.

"Nat-su." Erza breathed out

Raken winced as he blocked another rage fueled blow from his older brother, dropped low he attempted to sweep Natsu's legs out from under him, the pinkette jumped and brought his fist down, attempting to catch Raken as he repositioned, Raken jerked his head back in time to avoid the blow and sent a powerful kick into his brother chest, the pinkette rolled along the ground and Raken re-centered himself.

"Wake up Natsu! Erza's not dead! Why are you fighting me when you should be over there?!" Raken shouted, attempting to ge through to the man opposite him.

"How many times have a told you lying is bad Raken?" Natsu stated darkly

Raken gritted his teeth as he lifted his fists again.

"ERZA!"

Her eyes fluttered slightly, 'it's too early for shouting,' She thought irritably.

"ERZA! Please Wake up, Its Natsu!" The voice sounded so far away.

'Natsu? We were…' Slowly the memories of Edolas slowly began filling her mind, Her eyes snapped open and Wendy let out a relieved shout and wrapped her arms around the red head tightly.

Erza winced in pain and ran her hand over where the spear had been lightly, she pushed the bluette away from her and looked into her eyes seriously "Where's Natsu?!" She demanded

Wendy motioned her head in the pinkette's direction, Erza's blood ran cold as she watched him toss Raken across the courtyard, Wendy jumped to her feet and ran over to the other bluette, Raken pushed himself slowly, a defiant scowl painted his face as he glared at his older brother, his arms gave out and fell against the concrete with a pained groan.

Erza clawed to her feet and staggered forward, Natsu didn't seem to take notice of her, he turned towards his doppelganger and glared down at the boy menacingly, a hard lump in her throat prevented her from calling out, she staggered forward as fast as her body would go, she slipped as she neared the pinkette and wrapped her arms around his head tentatively, doing the only thing that came to her mind as she used the last of her strength to press her lips to his as hard as she could, praying her message reached him.

Erza lost consciousness from the shear amount of pain she was in, Natsu's eyes widened in surprise and he reached out instantly catching the redhead before she could hit the ground, he blinked at her, he looked to where the spear was in her chest to find perfectly healed skin, he leaned his head down and pressed his ear to her chest, the steady thud of her heart met his ears, he felt his whole body turn to liquid and he fell back heavily as he cradled the redhead in his arms, a wide relieved smile eventually formed on his face as uncontrollable sobs racked his shoulders.

Nightsbane slid his back against the wall as he watched his doppelganger silently, he cursed a single man for what had happened that day and it wasn't any of Earthlands denizens, he glared at the gate that led into the Royal chambers and got to his feet slowly.

"Where are you going?" Natsu questioned now that he was in control of his own mind.

"The King is going to return your friends to you and send you all back to where you came from, If we cannot find a way to live without magic we will simply survive any way we can." Nightsbane growled as he retrieved his spear

Natsu laid Erza down carefully and got to his feet "I'll help you.

Nightsbane smirked at his doppelganger "That'd be….Appreciated."

A/N: I know it's been awhile since I updated this, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I wanted to have the General fight go down and then this idea just kind of popped into my head and I really liked it so I hope you all do too and I will see you guys in the next one, Peace!
