SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 10 out, this is Chapter 11 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the main pairing.

Chapter 11: The Moment That's Activated

"You…" Byro growled, Erza blocking off his 'Divine Arrow' before he cast it at Coco.

"Last time we didn't have a chance to cross swords." Erza remarked. "But we finally meet again, Byro Cracy. Aiming an attack at your comrade in a fit of rage, it makes me sick!"

"Hey, you don't bully the weak." Gray agreed.

"Why Lyon?" Happy wondered.

"Jeez," Gray smirked. "I had a hunch there was trouble, so we hustled on over here and look what we've got."

"Everyone." Lucy gaped, the rest having gathered up the various clock parts. "You all found the parts of the clock."

"Gajeel is here?" Natsu noticed his fellow Dragon Slayer.

"Carla's team found a part too." Happy beamed.

"Look, everyone." Romeo pointed. "There's the one we found."

"As you can see," Erza declared. "We've obtained all five parts. All that's left is the clock hand you people stole from Lucy. And you will give it back."

"If you want it, come and get it, Titania." Byro taunted.

"You stand against all of us?" Erza echoed. "We're going to seal away all the parts of the clock and keep them safe. So just give it to me without protest." She summoned her blade.

"I can't do that." Byro replied. "The Infinity Clock originally belonged to Zentopia. We're bound to take charge of it."

"Is that right?" Lucy turned to Dan.

"This is the first time I've heard." The swordsman admitted.

"You're all in too deep." Byro added, the clock pieces started resonating. "You peered at the darkness that mustn't be seen. Already, I cannot allow you to leave here alive."

"Balderdash!" Erza gave the attack order, swapped to her 'Heaven's Wheel Armour'. "Let's go!"

"Everyone, wait!" Lucy warned, everyone else releasing their attacks. "Magic doesn't work… Hey!" she gaped when Natsu added his own attack in the fray.

"Pitiful." Byro muttered, nullifying the magical beams coming towards him.

"So this is what that guy was talking about." Gray remembered what Sugar Boy had warned.

"Even against our numbers…" Erza growled.

"Magic doesn't work on him." Natsu reminded, Team Natsu reforming.

"Who knew he was this strong?" Erza admitted.

"For sure, this is a pain in the ass." Gray agreed.

"No matter how many of you attack at once, it makes no difference." Byro taunted. "Against me, mages are no longer mages."

"Then, there's nothing for it." Erza remarked.

"We'll just have to beat the crap out of you with our bare hands." Gray grinned.

"Then come." Byro accepted the challenge. "Even in a physical fight, I'm trained to take on 50 people at once."

"Be careful." Erza cautioned. "He's a master at the fighting arts."

"That's what I'm hoping for." Gray cracked his knuckles.

"Nee-san, look!" Michelle exclaimed, the clock pieces floating off. "The clock!"

"What…" Lucy muttered. "What's happening?" she wondered, the clock started to drone as it assembled together.

"That damn thing is noisy." Natsu complained.

"Is that an alarm clock?" Happy mused.

"The crypt will be destroyed." Erza warned.

"Let's not just stand around." Gray urged. "We gotta hurry."

"What's this smell?" Natsu sniffed the air. "I know what it is." He hissed. "They're here." He declared, the Reborn Oracion Seis appearing before them.
