Any way enjoy the third chapter of The Dragon and The Knight.
_It was The Mrs. Fairy Tail Contest hosted by Max the sand wizard. Natsu was sitting in the front of the crowd wearing his usual attire but he was wearing that shirt Erza got for him last night. Along with Natsu was Gray wearing a brown heavy jacket and Elfman with his blue suit and Japanese sandals. Behind them were the
"Natsu what are you even doing here?" Gray asked his friend/rival. "Because he is a man." Elfman said boldly for Natsu.
Usually Natsu could be at events like this but he would be at the back either eating fire or huge amounts of meat or picking fights or playing along with it if there was physical competition. If he wasn't at the events he would be training to increase his us and amount of magic. But today he was only here for to support and root for Erza even though the chances of her winning were always in her favor.
The first few contestants went by all but Mirajane showing great potential for first place so far. Now it was Erza's turn. Erza leaped onto the stage with great form…naturally. Erza gave Natsu a quick wink and began to requip into something very appealing to the male eyes.
When the light from Erza's requip died out Erza was revealed in the Gothic Lolita outfit she walked out of the house with to kiss Natsu goodnight with. Natsu was blushing madly at his red haired lover. The audience cheered for Erza's choice in outfit and Natsu was gripping his fists on the table.
"Natsu your burning the table with manly fury!" Elfman warned the angered Dragon Slayer.
"It's because I'm pissed about something from yesterday." Natsu growled while gritting his teeth.
"What could possibly piss you off so much that you would still be pissed about it Torch?" Gray asked while taunting the Dragon Slayer.
"Nothing, stripper." Natsu continued gritting his teeth.
Natsu and Gray were about to brawl but Natsu could feel Erza's warning glare so Natsu just sat down.
"Alright next contestant is … the super rookie Lucy Heartfilia!" Max yelled through the microphone.
The whole guild roared as Lucy stepped onto the stage with her blue cheerleader uniform. The crowd was barely even cheering. Lucy was having a classic case of stage fright for a moment but then busted out her pom-poms. Lucy was about to make to start her cheer but then a woman with light brown hair in a very unattractive haircut came onto the stage.
"You call yourself a Fairy? I am the very definition of a "Fairy." The definition of "beauty." And all things beautiful in the universe." She said opening her fan while pointing to herself and walking on stage completely cutting off Lucy. "This victory goes to me … "Beauty." She said in her usual ego. "This stupid Contest is over, none of these hideous girls could ever compete with my beauty." Evergreen continued stroking her blimp sized ego.
"Get the cow off stage." Natsu yelled giving the illusion that it came from the back.
Lucy's jaw dropped on the floor along with her attempt to get her rent money.
"Evergreen?" Gray said in shock that a member of the all mighty team The Raijinshu would show up to an event with lower class fairies.
"Hey I need the jewels from this event. Can you please leave?" Lucy tried explaining to the ego case. Evergreen looked at Lucy with distaste for the blond.
"Lucy, don't look at her eyes!" Gray tried to warn the celestial wizard.
"Little brat, don't get in our way." Evergreen warned showing her eyes to Lucy.
In an instance Lucy was petrified and turned to stone. The whole half the guild and bystanders left Fairy Tail in fear for their lives at this point. "Evergreen what do you think you're doing? Are you trying to ruin the festival?" Master Makarov yelled to the festival crasher.
"All festivals need some sort of entertainment, so I've already frozen the other participants." Evergreen said pointing to the rest of the petrified female fairies.
"Nee Chan!" Elfman yelled out in shock.
"ERZA!" Natsu yelled in fury at what the woman in green had done.
"You foolish child, turn them back now!" Makarov warned Evergreen.
Suddenly a sphere of lightning appeared and struck right next to Evergreen. Out of the plasma came the fully formed S-class mage Laxus.
"Hello Fairy Tail!" Laxus announced. "Let's get this festival started!"
Bixlow and Fried leaning on opposite sides of the guild appeared as well.
"Crap. The Raijinshui what are they doing here?" Macao cursed.
"Stop this idiocy Laxus and turn them back at once!" The master warned his son letting his magical aura form.
"Oh, I would stop that if I were you." Laxus warned creating a magical seal of lightning on the ceiling above Erza.
"Stop it!" Natsu and Makarov both yelled.
The lightning struck just a foot away from Erza's stone form as a warning to all the remaining guild members.
"I'm taking these contestants hostages, I've got bigger plans for all of them." Laxus said wrapping his arms around Lucy's stone shoulder. "If you want them returned safely then just obey my rules and everything will be fine."
"You bastard like I would believe you!" Natsu yelled from the crowd getting ready for one of his Fire Dragon breath attack with his cheeks already filled with blazing fire.
"You never learn do you Natsu?" Laxus said in total calm grabbing Erza by her stone head and holding her in front of him. Natsu got scared as he was half a second away from releasing the dragon fire. Natsu lifted his head up to the roof and blasted the fire.
"You were always so soft, Natsu." Laxus taunted.
"How about you fight me then instead of hiding like a coward." Natsu challenged the Lightning Mage.
"I would fight you Natsu but then I would just get bored. Besides I've got something to tell you personally." Laxus said. "Now listen up, the rules are so simple even Natsu can understand them. Last person standing wins." He said.
"Then let's get started coward." Natsu roared with a blazing fist igniting while flying at the lighting user.
"Fool." Laxus said coldly as he struck Natsu with a lightning bolt.
"That idiot." Warren said face palming.
"He is a man." Elfman said shutting his eyes as the lightning struck his comrade.
Natsu feel to the ground lightning flowing throughout his body.
"To get to Laxus we have to go down. There are one hundred of you and only five of us including Laxus." Bixlow said chuckling.
"Go down, go down." His "babies" chanted.
"You have three hours before these hideous ladies turn to dust." Evergreen said holding three fingers up.
"All of Magnolia will be the battlefield, once you find someone to fight the fight starts." Fried said lastly before turning into ruins. "Enough Laxus!" Master Makarov yelled in anger while growing into his giant form.
"Let the games begin! The battle for Fairy Tail!" Laxus said turning into lightning and making his escape.
"Let's get Laxus!" The remainder of the Guild roared exiting the guild.
"That fool … I'll stop him myself!" Makarov yelled running out of the guild shrinking into his normal form.
The master was about to exit out of the guild when he crashed into an invisible barrier at the entrance.
"What is this … an invisible wall? How did everyone get out while I'm still trapped?" He groaned while trying to push against the wall.
Gray turned around and assist his master telling him there was no wall and tried to yank him out. Sadly the ice-make Wizard turned looked up at the purple foreign writing floating in mid-air. "Those are Runes, they are Fried's forte usually making these takes a long time to produce but Fried is a genius and possess a large amount of magic so he can produce more words in less time.
"What does it say?" Gray asked.
"They say: Exit is forbidden to stone statues and those over the age of 80. Nothing can be done about this the rules of a ruins are absolute there are not loop holes of any kind." Master explained.
"I see, Master I'll make sure to defeat Laxus or at least beat one of the Raijinshui." Gray promised his master.
Gray ran into the city getting ready to fight anybody that would show their face to him. Meanwhile Master Makarov was planning any strategy against Laxus' plan. Then he sensed a small presence in the room. He turned to see his head Reedus cowering behind a pillar.
"Reedus I need you to go and see Porlyusica in the east forest, she might have an antidote for this." Master told the artist mage.
Reedus was hesitant at first but nodded his head and ran with his board of paint. Next Natsu roared and plopped his head up from his pillow.
"Natsu your awake!" Happy cheered.
"Where is Laxus, I need to make him pay for turning Erza to stone and using her as a shield!" Natsu yelled out loud looking for Laxus throughout the guild. "Wait … why is everyone gone?"
The master had just realized that Natsu had the will and more than enough potential to stand up to his grandson in a fight.
"Natsu, Laxus began the event while you were unconscious. But before you go, do you know what he wanted to tell you? The master asked in worry. "Fine then, go defeat him!" The master ordered pointing to the door.
Natsu let loose his battle cry and started to charge at the doors until he bashed into the ruins.
"What!" Master yelled in disbelief. "Natsu are you over eighty years old?"
"I don't even know anymore." Natsu said getting himself off the ruin wall.
Master Makarov was sulking near the ruin that his plan had failed. Then the master noticed that new ruins had just formed.
"Elfman vs. Evergreen, Gray vs. Bixlow, Macao vs. Wakaba, Warren vs. Max, Reedus vs. Fried … they are all fighting each other." Happy read aloud.
"This isn't … FAIR I WANT IN ON THIS FIGHT!" Natsu whined and yelled as tried forcing his face through the ruins.
The master and Happy both face palmed at Natsu's stupidity and lack of an attention span when he had nothing to occupy his time with.
"Isn't it great old man?" Laxus asked.
"LAXUS!" The master roared in anger at his son showing his superior magical aura. "Stop this at once before I unleash my wrath on you boy!"
"Just look at the ruins old man." Laxus said pointing to the ruins showing the results.
"You fools fight the Raijinshui!" the master yelled to the ruins.
"Old man there is a way for you to stop this, surrender Fairy Tail to me as its new Master." Laxus ordered the old man.
"As if I'd waist what my master and Master Mavis' dedicated their entire lives too." The Master said growing into his giant form.
"I'll give you time to think it over." Laxus said before disappearing into nothing.
"It was a Lacrima." Happy announced.
"That Laxus he wants to be the master but he is scared to even fight me." Natsu said gritting his teeth. "You won't give it to him will you Master?"
"I don't care about my title." Master Makarov said pondering his decision over.
"You don't!"
"No I don't, but Laxus can't become Master! He lacks heart and compassion for this guild."
"But someone needs to beat the Raijinshui." Happy said hovering in the air.
Then some commotion came from the kitchen. The sound of metal clanging together. They all went over there to see Gajeel the newest Dragon Slayer of the guild eating an iron plate.
"Gajeel your still here?" Natsu said.
"Don't eat the plates!" Happy said.
"Will you fight for us Gajeel?" Master asked hoping for the iron dragon to help them.
Gajeel hooped over the counter to speak with them face to face.
"If I don't I won't be able to pay my rent, plus I got a score with light bulb." Gajeel said grinning.
"Just leave everything to me."
Gajeel was making his way to the front door when he too was stopped by the ruins. The master, Happy, and Natsu all flipped out at the shook that Gajeel could not get through either.
"You're eighty too?" Natsu yelled in shock.
"Of course I'm not!" Gajeel retorted.
Evergreen, Bixlow, and Fried were reaching havoc throughout Magnolia defeat what was left of Fairy Tail until two were left.
"Okay that's it, melting the stone off Erza." Natsu said walking over to Erza's stone form.
Natsu had carefully placed her on the floor and go his hands ignited with fire.
"Time to get Erza free." Natsu said reaching for Erza's breast while blushing.
The funny part was that yesterday Natsu never got the chance or the courage to try to feel her up after Happy left Erza's apartment.
"Why are you blushing like some kind of pervert?" Gajeel asked the perverted Dragon Slayer.
Then Erza's head had a crack in it.
"Oh crap! Erza I'm so sorry." Natsu yelled holding his beloved.
"Happy get some glue or something."
"Aye Sir!"
"Idiot let's just use my iron and your fire to weld her shut." Gajeel said holding his iron pillar arm.
Then Erza's beautiful face cracked even more which caused Natsu to apologize Japanese style several tens of times.
Then Erza broke free and sat up in her normal non petrified state. She blinked a few times.
"Did I win the contest?" She asked then turning to her make shift heater slash lover.
"Natsu I feel hot! Was this you're doing?" She said punching Natsu to the other side of the guild.
After getting Natsu reawakened from his concussion done by his lover, they all say the counter of members left go from two to three.
"It must be from me breaking from the paralysis." Erza stated.
Then the counter went from three to four. They stood baffled at the reason the number rose again.
"Isn't it obvious, He has returned?" Erza said.
"How are you talking about?" Gajeel asked.
"Mystogan, the other candidate for strongest member of Fairy Tail.
Later Erza was running around Magnolia looking for a fight with the Raijinshui.
"Erza what's with the outfit? Also do you know why all of Fairy Tail is fighting across Magnolia? They've been causing a ruckus." The old man asked the beautiful knight.
"How did you escape my paralysis? Oh never mind that isn't important, besides I'm going to have a lot of fun tormenting you." Evergreen said to the red haired beauty.
"You know you really tick me off, calling yourself Titania, and queen of all Fairies. I'm the number one Fairy here." Evergreen said in anger.
Suddenly Evergreen released her single explosion magic attack. Erza with obviously more experience than the brown haired woman easily dodged the attack.
"Impressive as always Erza. But your skill won't save you forever." Evergreen said.
"If I beat you then everyone will turn back to normal." Erza asked while requiping two swords and slashing at the green fairy.
"Unless I paralyze you again." Evergreen said raising her glasses.
But Erza knew she would try this and she never made the same mistake twice, she closed her real eye and left the fake one open.
"Oh I never knew you had a fake eye. Oh well try enduring this, Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechuan!" Evergreen called a series of explosive glowing shards.
Erza easily dodged them while getting closer to her by deflecting them off her swords.
Erza tried a double slash but missed as Evergreen began to glow golden and flew off. Evergreen fired another barrage of explosive thorn bullets which Erza once again easily blocked by slashing away. This process continued about one more cycle and then Evergreen fired twice the amount she fired before.
Erza kept on slashing away at the bullets that would hit her but several managed to graze her and her beautiful dress. Evergreen let out a rejoicing laugh at the requipe Mage's expense.
"Ahahaha, from this day forward I shall take the Title of Titania!"
Erza had just about enough of this woman's jibber-jabber and requipped her stockings to nothing and summoned two swords and kicked them at the green Fairy with her feet. Evergreen couldn't dodge the speed of these swords and was pinned by the swords stabbing the straps of her dress. Erza put the swords back in storage and walked over to the pinned Evergreen.
"Your ego aside, your still a Fairy Tail member. If you wanted to be called Titania so bad you could have had it, I never came up with it anyway and never wanted it.
"All I want is for you to turn all the contestants back to normal and I promise not to hurt you."
Evergreen chuckled at Erza's mercy (a stupid move if you ask me).
"Whatever, you don't have the guts to hurt me. I call your bluff. I can destroy all of the stone bodies if I wanted to. Just bow to me and beg for their lives before I blow them up into nothing but sand." Evergreen ordered.
Erza requiped her dress and changed into her Heaven Wheels armor.
"I see, if you value a victory more than your life then I guess it's time to end this." Erza said summoning twelve swords from above her.
Evergreen screamed in terror at how scary Erza could be and turned all the stone girls back to normal. Evergreen gave up and lost.
Back at the guild Master Makarov explained the situation to the girls that were paralyzed. After words Natsu tried picking a fight with Lucy. Then the Runes began glowing red and scattering toward the group of fairies. The Runes formed a skull with its jaw open.
"Old man, can you hear me, and all the members of the Guild. One of the rules has been broken so I will leave another one in place. I've activated the Thunder Palace. In order to keep the Festival going, you have an hour and ten minutes to defeat us or do you surrender Master?" Laxus informed the remaining participants.
"Laxus what are you trying to do, drag innocent people into this?" Master roared at the disappearing Runes.
All of a sudden Master Makarov keeled over.
"Someone go get the medicine!" Mirajane yelled in alarm.
"Master what is Thunder Palace?" Natsu asked his master.
The master couldn't say anything but pointed outside. Outside the guild were hundreds of lightning Lacrimas. Cana explained that Laxus was going to literally fry Magnolia with Lightning from the Lacrimas. Bisca requiped a sniper rifle and shot one of the Lacrimas. Little did she know that all the Lacrima had body link magic, basically saying that if anyone destroyed one or more Lanterns then they would be nearly shocked to death, like Bisca was.
They got Bisca into the infirmary so she could recover but she insisted on shooting more down despite taking so much damage. The guild slit up after Bisca was taken to the infirmary. Lucy went to evacuate the citizens while Levy tried to do something about the Runes and the others went to go fight the rest of the Raijinshui.
Erza went searching for Laxus but after realizing that Evergreen lied and tricked her into going into a men's bath house she had realized that she had been had.
After Lucy made an encounter with Bixlow that almost killed her Loke the Leo Celestial spirit appeared and saved Lucy. With their efforts they both defeated Bixlow.
After the defeat of Bixlow Cana and Juvia found Fried, Juvia already took a severe hit from destroying a lacrima that was above them forcing the forced match between the two women to be over. Cana cased a lightning spell at the traitor but was repelled and hit her instead. A several hundred yards away Mirajane and her younger brother Elfman were walking toward the bridge they were fighting on.
"Fried you bastard, take back what you said about Juvia being a Phantom tramp!" Cana yelled at the Rune master. Fried casted a Rune and placed it on Cana's forehead the effect of the Rune made Cana scream and pass out from the fight.
"Fried stop this were Nakama!" Mirajane said trying to convince him.
"We are no longer Nakama, this game is to decide who's rules are fit to make Fairy Tail great. Elfman you were defeated therefore you are out of the game." He said raising his sword.
"I've enough of your crap!" Elfman yelled charging at Freed.
"Dark Eciture: Pain!" Freed called striking Elfman in his chest.
Elfman fell to the floor arching in pain as the words came into effect.
"Freed stop this, Elfman can't fight anymore." Mirajane called to the word user.
Freed didn't care what she thought at all. In fact he raised his sword for more words.
"Dark Eciture: Terror, Suffering!" Freed called striking Elfman twice more.
Elfman was now reduced to nothing but a cowering, screaming shell of a man now.
All Mirajane could do was cry, her magic hasn't returned to her yet and she was years from stepping up to Fried now as it is. But Fried didn't listen to her begging for him to stop.
"Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain! Fried continued to strike Elfman without stop.
Fried had truly made his mark as a traitor.
"Dark Eciture: Death!" He said ready for the finishing blow.
A cold breeze flew by as Mirajane remembered how useless she was against Elfman when Lisanna died. She never blamed Elfman, she understood that Take Over magic was difficult to learn, she even had a hard time learning to control the demon. Mirajane could still remember her sister's dying words.
Flashback to That very night
"Huh … that's strange … I cant move … Mira where are you? Listen … I … actually …" Lisanna said in pain the entire time.
Back to present time
Mira let out a loud cry while sobbing at her present uselessness. A large dark seal appeared over her as her voice began to change. Her dress became Latex and a crack appeared across her right eye and then her face like a scar. A creator formed around her at the amount of power the seal was emanating. Her arms became lion claws, and she grew a crocodile tail.
Fried was in shock at the amount of shear power that lay dormant inside the bar tender. When the seal disappeared she leaped to the Rune user. Fried hardly had time to dodge.
"Dark Enciture: Wings!" Fried drew upon himself.
Thus Dark evil wings appeared on Fried's back and he flew away trying to escape the demon. But Mirajane refused to let him get away from her and the wrath she had to make him endure. She pulled out a pair of giant bat or Devil or maybe even Dragon wings and took flight after Fried.
Mira landed a kick and then a hard punch making Fried crash into the bridge they were previously on. Fried flew away and looked back to see if Mirajane follow. But luck was not on his side Mirajane as right in front of him in all of her wrath.
"You're dead." She said coldly, void of any emotion but hate.
Fried realized that this was her take over magic. It had return! It was called Satan Soul for a reason. She possessed all fury and power of a devil in this form.
"Darkness Stream!" She said with trails of darkness attacking Fried.
The trails destroyed Fried's sword that he used for casting. After being pushed back he realized that he had to fight evil with evil.
"Dark Enciture: Satan Soul!" He called with the ancient language spelling Satan Soul across his chest.
As Mirajane flew at him Fried began to change into the same evil manifestation that Mira took. They're punches collided with each other while destroying part of the land scape that was around them. They both flew series of powerful punches and kicks at each other with Mira obviously having the advantage.
The newly revived S-class Take Over mage pushed Freed back into a cave where their fight could continue.
"Evil Spark!" She casted making Fried jolt back and forth at the negative charge of electricity going through his body.
"Darkness Breath!" Fried casted. Fried was being pushed into a corner he knew that if he didn't step up he would lose.
A tornado of darkness incased the both of them, I didn't take Mira long to get used to how fast the wind was going.
"Darkness Flash Bomb!" Fried called getting the surprise of Mira.
Mira crashed into a water but the attack didn't faze her at all. Actually she was hopping for it, she was getting bored. Mira used some of the evil magic and began to spin around in the water.
"Evil Explosion!" She called sending the tsunami so water at the Mage.
Mira got back on top and made her hands form a circle shape. Pure evil energy was forming inside the space of the two hands.
"Soul Extinctor!" She called firing half of the evil Magic she had.
Fried couldn't sustain his form any longer, he had taken too much damage. Elfman and Cana were both in awe at how powerful Mira was. Fried looked up and saw Mira the devil coming at him.
"Fried!" She hissed.
Mira pinned fried and had fried by his throat ready to do away with the Traitor that tortured her little brother. Mira let loose a punch containing all the pure hatred she had for Fried. But she stopped less than an inch away from his face.
Mira remembered that if she did this it would be no different from what happened that night. The Satan soul spell peeled off revealing the Bartender of Fairy Tail Mirajane.
"This fight is meaningless, we are nakama, and I won't kill my nakama." Mira said with a cute smile. Fried couldn't help but cry at how sweet Mira could be, he realized his treachery was not only meaningless and for an unjust cause but also incredibly stupid.
"Everyone, I know this doesn't make up for what I did but … I'm so sorry." Fried baled.
"It's ok Fried, next year lets enjoy the festival together." Mirajane blushed.
Back at Fairy Tail
The two dragon slayers on the roof were both smiling.
"In the battle of Fairy Tail…" Gajeel started.
"Only Laxus remains." Natsu finished.
