Author's Note: Today is my birthday, but I really wanted to put this chapter up and know what you guys think.
Lucy's Will
"What the heck is that thing on your hand, Loke?" Natsu questioned.
"I don't know what you're talking about?" Loke responded. "My duty is to wipe you out." He charged forward.
"I guess I'll just have to knock some sense into you," Natsu yelled. He threw his fist forward with fire engulfing his hand. "Fire Dragon's Iron—"
Zane stuck out a silver key. "Open gate of the dog."
Natsu fist slammed into the small dog that appeared between him and Loke. "Plue?" The dog disappeared.
Natsu shock gave Loke his chance. He uppercut Natsu with his ring magic, sending him backward.
The fire dragon slayer slid back on his toes. He wiped his chin with his teeth clenched. "I can't believe he would use Plue as a shield."
"What does it matter?" Zane said. "As long as the Zodiacs are still around that's all that matters so they can beat you down. Capricorn."
Capricorn came from behind Loke and slammed a kick into Natsu's stomach, sending him flying back. Natsu slammed on his back.
Erza struggled to lift herself up on her elbows, glaring over at Zane. "Lucy would never treat her spirits with such disrespect."
"That's why she's in her current position," Zane taunted. "Besides I don't need to respect when they're my loyal slaves. When I took your little friend's magic I placed them under a deep spell. Even if they wanted to resist they can't."
Virgo was in the air, slamming her chains repeatedly into the defenseless Evergreen who was on the ground.
"Hang on, Evergreen." Freed and Bickslow ran in her direction.
"Forget that useless Fairy," Zane ordered, "grabbed the fire dragon."
"Yes, Master." Virgo turned her attention over to Nartsu, wrapping her chains around the fallen boy's wrists. She lifted him up and threw him in the air in an arch as she landed down.
"You're not getting away with this." Natsu broke out of the chains by sheer force.
'Erza' stood, looking at Natsu. "Do you really believe that you can defeat us?" She requiped into the Fire Empress armor, flying up to Natsu, swinging her sword.
Natsu managed to flip over the attack. 'Erza' spun around and slammed her foot into Natsu's chest, kicking him down to the ground.
"You will fall before us." Lightning sparks came out of 'Erza's' eyes as she swooped down to try to attack the dragon slayer again. Mira then tackled her in her Satan Soul take over. The two spun through the air as they wrestled.
"Mirajane, known as the shedevil, S class wizard of Fairy Tail, and once had a strong rivalry with Erza Scarlet," 'Erza' spoke in matter-of-fact manner. Gemini turned back to normal then quickly transformed into Mirajane's Satan Soul: Halphas, knocking the real Mirajane down.
Mirajane landed on her hands and feet, looking up.
"Something isn't right," Yukino said, watching with the rest of Sabertooth. "Keeping open ten gates like that should seriously drain a person's magical energy."
"Yet, he hasn't so much as taken a heavy breath," Rogue spoke. "And for some strange reason I can't remember his spells either."
Orga shifted his eyes in the blonde's direction. "Are you serious?"
"There's clearly more going on than we can see," Rufus said. "This Zane fellow is no ordinary wizard."
Gray putted his fist in his palm. "Ice Make: Hammer!" He swung the giant ice hammer down at Aries.
"Gate of the Clock Key," Zane announced.
Horologium appeared in front of Aries, taking the hit before disappearing.
"What?!" Gray's eyes opened wide in shock.
"Do it now, Aries," Zane ordered. Aries shot out her 100% Fluffy-Fluffy Wool to trap all the Fairy Tail wizards as the Celestial Spirits leaped into the air. "Now do it together." All ten spirits released an attack on the trapped wizards, dropping them to the floor.
The ten mind controlled spirits landed in a circle around the wizards. "This is truly sad," Zane taunted. "You didn't even take out a single spirit. Just proves how weak Fairy Tail truly is."
Cana struggled to get herself up on all fours. She managed to pull out a few of her cards and threw them at the first spirit she spotted. "Card Magic: Explosion!" Flames came from the cards and flew in Aquarius, blasting the mermaid back.
The spirit screamed before she smiled and the seal on her hand disappeared. She faded away back into her world.
"What the-!?" Zane was taken aback by the sneak attack. "Why you…get her!"
All nine remaining spirits went after the injured Cana.
"Oh, no you don't!" Juiva rushed forward as her body had transformed into a raging water, blasting Scorpio back before he could shoot off his sand. The boyfriend of the mermaid dropped on his side with a smile on his face. The seal broke off him and he returned back to the Celestial world.
As Juvia returned to normal, chains wrapped around her and Cana. Virgo who stood on the opposite side of them had them bind and was about to pull them back when Natsu flew in between the chains to charge at the maiden.
"You're going back home, Virgo. Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" Flames surround his fist as he brought them forward and shot the attack at Virgo, blasting her back. She disappeared with a smile and the seal gone.
Cancer flew across the ground toward Cana, who was still recovering.
"Alright, babies Line Formation," Bickslow told his dolls. His five dolls climb on top of each other and blasted a wave at Cancer.
"Open Gate of the Southern Cross Key." Crux appeared in front of Cancer and was blasted by the attack and disappeared. Cancer continued toward Cana, readying his scissors.
"Don't count us out just yet," Freed said. Said wizard had teleported in front of Cancer. He swung his sword across with Dark Ecriture in his eye. "Dark Ecriture: Pain. Pain. Pain." Caner fell back on the ground after the three slashes and disappeared like the previous spirits.
Freed readied his sword. "That's four down."
Gajeel stood on one knee, staring directly at the annoyed Zane. "I'm going to take that guy out for good." Gajeel stuck his fist out. "Iron Dragon's Club!" He shot out his steel club hand at the opposing wizard.
Taurus leaped in the way, stopping the attack by blocking it with his ax. "Moo, nice try."
Gemi and Mini then came down and touched the club and transformed into Gajeel. "Why don't you take this back? Iron Dragon's Club." He shot his own club, slamming it right in Gajeel's face, shooting him back.
"Ice Make: Lance!" Gray shot his lances into Aries, taking her out.
"Evil Explosion!" Mirajane shot Sagittarius from behind, forcing him back into the spirit world from the massive damage.
Evergreen flew up. "Fairy Machine Gun!" She instantly doubled its speed to give Taurus no time to defend himself and sent him back to the spirits world as well.
The last three spirits landed in front of Zane. "I must say Fairy Tail I have to give you some credit for that," Zane said. "Still I have the three strongest spirits on my side and they will crush you."
All eleven fairies were now ready for combat again, feeling they really could take the spirits down and save their friends. "Bring it on," Natsu dared.
"Get them."
Loke and Capricorn charged forward toward the guild members of their previous master.
"Ice Make: Shield!" Gray created a shield in front of them to cut the two sides off.
A lightning bolt shot straight at shield, shattering it. "Did you really think something like that would work?"
"No, I just needed to make a distraction," Gray said. Wendy and Gajeel leaped out from behind him, preparing their own attacks.
Zane prepared the last two silver keys. "Oh, now I see. Open the gates of the Lyre Key and Compass Key."
"Iron Dragon's Sword!"
"Sky Dragon's Crushing Fang!"
Gajeel hit Lyra in place of Loke while Wendy hit Pyxis instead of Capricorn. "Fools," Zane called them.
Natsu rose above Gajeel and Wendy with his fist on fire. "You're the fool. Time to wake up, Loke. Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang." He swept at Loke's chest, knocking him back. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist." He slammed his fist right into the man's face, knocking him on the ground. The seal broke off of him and he returned back to his world.
Cana and Juvia were behind the others. Cana held three cards in her hands. "You ready, Juvia?"
"Yeah." The water wizard nodded.
"Summon Lightning!"
"Water Slicer!" The two attacks combined and slammed into Capricorn, taking him down.
"Just one left," Freed declared.
Gemini then touched the man's shoulder, transforming into him. "Hope you don't mind. Dark Ecriture: Pain." He knocked the wizard back.
Bickslow was about to release a counterattack when 'Freed' touched his chest and transformed into him next. "Alright, babies attack." Bickslow's dolls turned against him, shooting him.
Before Evergreen could registered what just happen to her teammates Gemini managed to reach her and transform again. She adjusted her glasses. "I'll show you what a fairy can truly do. Fairy Machine Gun!" The false Ever blasted Evergreen back with her own attack.
"That's enough." Erza charged forward with a sword in hand and swung at the fake Evergreen that turned back into Gemi and Mini before she could strike them. They disappeared to Erza's confusion. "Why did they go?" They quickly reappeared a couple of feet away.
The twins transformed again.
Erza readied her blade. Her eyes widen at what she saw.
"What's the matter, Erza? You look like you've seen a ghost?" 'Laxus' stood before her with sparks flying off his body. His arms were folded across his chest.
"How were you able to transform into Laxus?" Erza questioned.
"What did you think they were doing running away?" Zane questioned.
'Laxus' shot a lightning blast right at Erza. Dust blew out of the ground, covering the woman so none of her friends could see how she was doing.
"Erza!" Natsu yelled.
'Laxus' smiled wide. The smile quickly faded. "What?"
The dust cleared to reveal that Erza was just fine inside her Thunder Empress Armor with her spear down in front of her that created a magic barrier to block the lightning. "I won't go down that easily."
More sparks flew out of 'Laxus' as he took up an offensive position. "We're see about that." He fired off more electric blast.
Erza ran around to avoid the strikes as she kept her eyes on the false Fairy Tail wizard. If I remember what Lucy told me about Gemini right they can't stay in any person's form for longer than five minutes. I'll just have to make them run out of time.
"You're not getting away." 'Laxus' surrounded his body in lighting and charged at Erza, Erza jumped into the air and fired a lightning blast from her spear.
'Laxus' easily avoided the strikes and flew into the air after the redhead. The two S Class wizards clashed over and over again in the air. Erza avoided the strikes she could, countered when she saw an opening, and blocked when she had no other choice.
The two landed on the ground across from each other. An intense look captured both of their eyes. "You're this tough, huh? Then maybe I should get serious," 'Laxus' said.
"That's enough, Laxus." Natsu charged toward the battle from the right. 'Laxus' stuck his hand out to shoot out a blast.
Erza saw this coming and tackled Natsu to the ground to have the attack just miss them. "Natsu, there's no need to interfere. He can't hurt us anymore."
Natsu looked up at Erza. "What do you mean?"
"Don't be stupid," Zane commented. "He's-" Gemini returned to normal. "What happened?" He took a step forward.
Erza looked back at the man. "A good wizard knows the limitations of their magic such as Gemini's time limit for transformation."
Zane narrowed his eyes. "This isn't over. Gemini, go you know what to do."
Gemi and Mini disappeared again.
Erza and Natsu stood up again. "Just what are you planning?"
"Heh." Gemi and Mini reappeared beside Zane. "Do it," he ordered. The twins transformed into Lucy.
"Why would you transform into Lucy?" Erza questioned.
Natsu balled up his fist. "You don't think that's going to stop us?"
"That's not why I had them transform, fools," Zane informed them. "Do it now, Gemini."
'Lucy' lowered her head and started to chant. "Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens…All the stars, far and wide…Show me thy appearance…with such shine. Oh Tetrabiblos…I am the ruler of the stars…aspect become complete…open thy malevolent gate."
The stars appeared around the group like they did before with a space like atmosphere. The Fairy Tail wizards backed up and looked around. "This again."
Zane smirked. "Yes, except with a little twist." Zane grabbed 'Lucy's' hand. Two magical circles appeared above them.
"Oh 88 Stars of the Heaven…Shine!" Lightning sparked out of the orbs of light, transforming them into lighting Lacrima. "Thunder Urano Metria!"
The infused lightning orbs came crashing down from the sky toward the members of Fairy Tail.
"Unbelievable, he created a Unison Raid with Lucy and Laxus' powers," Cana said stunned.
"I have to stop it," Erza stated as she transformed into her Adamantine Armor. She flew up to counter the blast with her magic barrier.
"Erza, you can't possibly stop it twice," Juvia yelled up to her.
Zane lifted his hand up to the sky. "You think she learn to watch her back." Lightning sparked from his hand and fired at the back of Erza.
"Ice Make: Shield!" Gray made a shield in front of the lightning to block the attack. He positioned himself for another spell. "That's because we have her back."
"You really think she'll survive the attack twice?" Zane questioned.
Erza clenched her teeth, feeling the full blunt of Unison attack. The added force of Laxus' lightning was tearing through the magic barrier she had created. The shower of orbs even began cracking through her normal shield and armor.
Erza was so determined to not let the attack hit her friends she requiped into her Lightning Empress Armor again and created second barrier that somehow kept the rest of the attack at bay to everyone's amazement. She came crashing down to the ground afterward and returned to her normal clothing.
Zane looked in utter shock. "Unbelievable. Damn Titania."
"Roar of the Sky Dragon!" Wendy blasted a powerful cyclone from her mouth, hitting 'Lucy' and sending Gemini back to their world.
Zane had his hand struck by the attack, being off guard from Erza's early stunt. "You're going to pay for that." Lightning sparked off his hand as he began to thrust it forward.
"Ice Make: Floor!" Gray slammed the ground in front of him while everyone else was behind him, turning the floor that Zane stood on to solid ice. Zane slipped on the floor, spinning around in a circle.
Wendy and Gajeel combined their own attacks to knock Zane back followed by Bickslow and Freed to slam the man into the wall behind him. A dust cloud flowed out of the wall while everyone waited to see if the man was going to try to get up again.
The dust cleared.
Zane walked out of the wall with the fairies only looking angry. "You can try to hurt me all you want." Sparks flew off his body. "Not that my limiters are off I have to power of a hundred wizards."
"A hundred?" Mira questioned.
Zane smirked. "Did you think that your friends were my first victims? No, they were ninety-nine and one hundred. They're maybe eleven of you, but you can't beat hundred powerful wizards. I'll just simply continue to channel their power through your little friends' spells and crush you."
"So that explains it," Erza stated. "No wonder you haven't run out power yet."
"I think I'll end it with this." Zane held his hands apart as a bright light appeared between his hands that shocked all of the Fairy Tail wizards.
Natsu took a step back and stared in awe. "No way, you can do that."
Zane chuckled. "Why not? I never liked Fairy Tail and now I can crush it with its own spell. It's a good thing you're little friend Laxus picked this up. Now I'll use to destroy the very guild it belongs to."
"You can't!" Erza yelled.
"Sure, I can just watch me." Zane started to compress the ball of light ready to unleash its power on the guild of Fairy Tai.
Makarov stood up. "I have to stop this."
"Goodbye, Fairy Tail." Zane was ready to unleash the spell when an arm warped around his neck, putting him in the chokehold. "What the-" He shifted his eyes back to see who could have grabbed him. Everyone was still under his contract spell so no one could enter the arena. "Loke. H-how did you get back here? What are you doing?"
"Following the orders of my true master." The lion spirit pulled Zane back over his shoulder, slamming the man's back on the ground. He let go of the man and slammed his fist into the man's stomach with an infusion of magic.
Something cracked under the man's clothing. Zane flew back into the hole he crawled out of.
"Loke, how did you get back?" Natsu questioned.
Loke pushed up his glasses. "I used my own magic to come back after recovering a little from your attack earlier, Natsu."
"Fool!" An energy blast shot out of the wall and hit Loke straight on. He flew back into the group of wizards, dropping on his side. "How dare you betray you're master?!"
Loke was badly injured. "You're not my master. Besides before you finished what you did to Lucy she begged me to help them."
"What?" Zane didn't understand.
The magic circle underneath Laxus and Lucy continued to spin. A violent lightning and wind hurricane surrounded the arena. Laxus and Lucy's heads were lifted up from the force of the magic, their powers and lives were being drained from them.
Lucy's keys glowed, but she couldn't reach them. "Loke! Please you have to help the others defeat this guy. I'm begging you!"
"She believed in you guys, until the end," Loke told them. Loke's body began to fade away. "I can't do anymore here. So don't let them down they're counting on you."
All eleven wizards looked in amazement as Loke disappeared before them.
"What utter nonsense, you can't defeat me. Carrying on that fool's will is a death wish waiting to happen."
Erza requiped into her Heaven's Wheel armor. "We'll see about that. You heard Loke everyone. We can't afford to lose here. Let's combine our attacks for one final attack."
"We'll show him what happens when you insult our guild," Freed said.
"Fairy Machine Gun!"
"Baryon Formation!"
"Dark Ecriture: Pain."
"Jolt of Fate!"
"Water Cyclone!"
"Ice Make: Lance!"
"Evil Explosion!"
"Heaven's Wheel!"
"Roar of the…"
"Roar of the…"
"Roar of the Iron Shadow Dragon!"
"Sky Dragon!"
"Lightning Fire Dragon!"
All the attacks fused together in dazzling display of power and came rushing at Zane. "You think I can't stop this? You're nothing but fools!" He stuck his hands out about to cast a spell when magical energy spilled out of his body from the chest plate that was embedded on his body.
He wrapped his arms around himself to try to contain the energy. "Oh, no. How did this happen?" He then remembered what Loke did to him. "Damn, you Loke. You're going to pay for this." He looked forward to see the coming attack.
He tried to stick his hands out again to create a shield, but the energy started to leave him again, forcing him to wrap his hand around himself again. "What can I do?" The fusion of magic slammed into him, blasting him back into the wall and blowing up the area.
A powerful wind blew in every direction, forcing everyone in the arena to try to hold their ground. The Fairy Tail wizards in ring flew back not able to take the intense blast from their own attack. A thick smoke came out of the arena.
When the smoke finally cleared Natsu and the others looked to see if they had finally won. A dark purple energy surrounded Zane as he walked out of the wall once again. He was badly injured, but able to still stand. "I'm not done with you fairies yet."
"You got to be kidding me," Gray said.
Runes that were Zane's name appeared on his right arm. "What's going on? Why is the contract spell showing up now?"
Two lights suddenly caught everyone's attention.
Two gold magical circles appeared in the middle of the ring. Laxus and Lucy stood in the circles with their eyes closed and a small current lifting their hair up.
"Why would my spell bring back two corpses?" Zane said out loud.
"Laxus," Mira said.
"Lucy," Natsu spoke.
The contract circle appeared again as well, cracking and disappearing along with its protection. The two magic circles that held the couple of blonde wizards faded away. The two dropped to their hands and knees.
Both Fairy Tail wizards took a breath that shocked everyone. Slowly their eyes opened as they were once again conscious.
"That's not…possible," Zane said. He couldn't make sense of what just happened.
Lucy's keys glowed and shot back over to Lucy, attaching to her belt once again.
"I'm not done," Zane told himself. "I can still fight. I can still DESTORY FAIRY TAIL!"
