Today was a very busy day because I had lessons, homework and I have a band concert later today. There was also some paintwork going on in the house so that just made it that much more hectic.

Anyways, we will be finishing up the fight in this chapter and perhaps the next but then, we get into a nice chapter after that. As for one shots, I dont know. I have a TadaakixLucia, a Prussia x Hungary and surprisingly, I have a sort of depressing Julius pairing.

But here is something cool. Keep an eye on a few characters that have not been getting much mention. They are important, Edolas is all I can say about it.

But for now, lets get onto the story. We are heading to the end of this long fight.

"Fah! Dragon Slayers and Consuls! None can stand the wrath of the Earth Bound!" Darren roared as the ground from underneath Tadaaki and Lucia exploded and the two mages were forced to leap into the room.

Now there were five mages fighting against two Tartaros mages. Selena looked at the two necomers with interest. Never in her long life had she seen someone break through the Dark Realm. Selena pointed to Lucia.

"You there, how did you break through the Dark Realm?" the little girl asked, curious to know what sort of power Lucia had.

The consul pointed to her eye patch. Using her Eye of Truth had consumed a lot of her power and she didn't know if she could contribute to the group. However, Tadaaki seemed to be ready to fight, his grin showing how eager he was to fight. The Fairy Tail mages were no doubt tired by their fights beforehand but there was no way they could quit now!

"My eye patch covers my left eye. An ability I have is to see the truth, through any fog or mist you may use. Locating you within the Dark Realm was easy once I searched far enough." Lucia said, trying to sound like she wasn't tired out.

Selena nodded slowly and looked at Darren who was closing his eyes. This was a bad sign. Had they angered Julius? This room was a hazard to Darren and there were many things that could be used to defeat him… The Earth Bound mage's eyes snapped open and in almost a split second, the second battle had begun. He made a fist and rock exploded through the room, sending everyone scattering. Perfect. Darren then quickly swung his legs and watched with satisfaction as Asura and Raymond were smashed into the ground. He then swung his right arm, watching Azami being forced back and was about to complete his vicious cycle with his left arm when suddenly a fist smashed into him so hard, his skin tore and bloody splattered across the floor as the teenager dropped like a stone.

Tadaaki stood over him, breathing hard, having dodged several pillars of rock but he had been successful. The dragon slayer thought the fight was over but was shocked when the teenager slowly stood up, the skin on his face repairing and the teenager grabbing Tadaaki's clothes and pulling him in, whispering viciously into the general's ear.

"Remember that you are mortal."

There was a flash of light and suddenly Darren's head was gone. Tadaaki stepped back, gritting his teeth and breathing hard. Had it really taken that much power to take him down or was the enemy that strong? Selena smiled slyly as he watched Darren's head regrow from the neck. Fools will always be fools. None of them had realized that Selena and Darren were slowly sapping their magic power by repeatedly being attacked. Tadaaki took another step back, just what was he! He had used his dragon's roar to completely sever his neck but…the head grew back!

"What in the world are you! A demon from Hell no doubt!" Tadaaki shouted as he quickly jumped back to join his friends.

Darren cracked his neck and he nodded to Selena. It was time to get serious. This group of mages were getting annoying.

"You cant harm me as long as I touch the ground. The earth has always been my protector! It is time Selena! The earth goddess calls us!" Darren shouted happily as Selena nodded.

Everyone took steps back as they anticipated a serious attack. All the while Raymond was receiving medical care from Lucia. She had managed to free one of Raymond's legs but Raymond was having some sort of mental battle of his own.

"You are close to victory! Do not let them attack you with their final attack! This room has an object that will help you win against the vile earth bound! The chandelier! Use it hang the earth bound where he is the weakest! The air!" Julius shouted encouragingly.

Suddenly Raymond was seized in a moment of terrible panic. What if they were too late? What if they couldn't even move Darren! Suddenly Raymond let out a terrible wail.

"The chandelier! Use the chandelier! Hang the earth bound from the sky!" Raymond wailed as images ran through his mind.

Scenes of happiness, scenes of victory, scenes of terror and scenes of sadness. They were all there. In his mind. Why was this happening! Finally, Lucia broke through the marble and Raymond's legs were free and she set on working on the various other places where Raymond had been hit. The other mages had taken Raymond's words and formulated a plan. The mages surrounded the two Tartaros mages and they prepared to fight. Tadaaki walked down the middle, his hands glowing with white light. All his energy would be going into this attack. Raymond felt his arms come free and he quickly stood up, looking at the group, dazed.

Tadaaki started to run and as he did, the terrible moment came. Selena and Darren were standing next to each other and Darren placed his hands on Selena's head. They were surrounded by a brown glow and then, the attack came.

"The Earth Bound's Final Sacrifice!" the two shouted as Selena raised her hand and a straight blast of rock smashed into him.

The rocks struck him repeatedly but the group of mages were prepared for such an event! They all started to transport their magical power into Tadaaki. The process was exhausting but they managed to power the dragon slayer enough that he got through the attacks and he causally threw Selena to the side, blood dripping down Tadaaki's face. Only a few minutes until overdrive….

Tadaaki had taken a tremendous risk by going through with the risky plan. The remaining powers of all the Fairy Tail magic had all been transferred to Tadaaki, resulting in an overdrive. It was a magical condition that activates when a mage has overstepped the boundaries of his or her magical capability. The mage has only a few minutes to get rid of his incredible amount of magic or face immediate death. And Tadaaki intended to do just that. He smashed every attack he had onto Darren, each time his blinding glow slowly diminishing.

"A few more minutes!" Tadaaki roared as every attack hit Darren directly, the two mages enveloped in a blinding light.

Selena was slowly standing up and was about to attack when suddenly she was struck by a large metal shield and smashed into the wall, falling back. Paul stood before her, his armor polished and his sword sharpened. Lucia had used the remainder of her power to use Paul to defeat Selena and Raymond stood beside her. The young girl wiped away the dirt and dust and stood slowly, glaring at the group.

"Well then, a fight is what you truly want! White Wash!"

The wave of white water rose up from the ground and smashed into Paul, turning the knight almost entirely into marble and that is when Raymond jumped forward.

"Denial Magic! Normal Force!" Raymond shouted.

The ground where Selena was standing suddenly broke through and the Tartaros mage fell, screaming curses as every single piece of dirt, stone broke under her feet. Raymond fell back and Paul disappeared as Lucia and everyone else turned their attention to Darren and Tadaaki. The dragon slayer had his arms around Darren to create a chokehold.

"Get off me you vermin!" Darren shouted, trying not to look at the blinding light.

"Oh don't worry, I will be off you in just a second." Tadaaki said darky as he could literally see the countdown he had left to get rid of his excess magic.

The dragon slayer smashed his fist into Darren's chin, sending the Tartaros mage flying into the air. The glow had diminished as Tadaaki unleashed all his magic towards Darren in a single move, smashing the dark mage against the chandelier's chain. Tadaaki grabbed the chain and wrapped it around Darren's neck.

"Its over."

There we go. Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was busy and I wanted to take a break. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed. FF
