Mystogan
Levy looked up as the barriers began to fade. She figured that meant that Freed had been defeated.
"The Thunder Legion has been defeated," she muttered, "All that's left is Laxus." She then remembered the Lacrima.
"We've only got ten minutes left. And if they don't…." Levy shook her head quickly.
"What am I saying!" she said, "We've got Natsu, Erza, and Gajeel out there, not to mention Mystogan! There's no way we can lose!"
"Say that after you've triumphed." Levy turned, and saw someone strolling into the guild hall.
"Porlyusica?"
"Where's Makarov?" the healer demanded. Levy quickly lead her into the infirmary, where Porlyusica looked over the ill guild master.
"You're going to heal him right?" Levy said hopefully. For a time, Porlyusica was silent.
"Get Laxus," she said.
"Laxus, what do you…," Levy began.
"I mean bring that foolish boy whose willfully ignorant of just how bad the situation," Porlyusica interrupted.
"Do… do you mean?" Levy stuttered. The elderly woman turned to Levy, tears in her eyes.
"Just bring Laxus," she said, "He needs to be here." Levy just stared in shock.
(with Laxus)
Laxus sat in the church, alone with his thoughts. The Thunder Legion had been defeated, and now he had Erza, Mystogan, Natsu, and probably Gajeel all coming for him. But that wasn't what he was thinking about at the moment. His mind was on the past.
(Flashback)
"You're not going to participate in the parade?" Makarov asked.
"That's what I said," a teenage Laxus answered, not looking at his grandfather.
"Care to tell me why?" Now, Laxus did look down at him.
"Because no matter what, I'm jus going to be, 'Master's grandson'!" Laxus answered, "I don't get any credit for anything I do!"
"Credit is something that takes effort to do," Makarov responded, "You're thinking about this too hard!"
"This pisses me off even more than I already was," Laxus, "And now you need to tell me, why did you excommunicate my dad?" Makarov was silent, as he took a breath.
"He was a danger to the guild," he answered.
"He was your son, he was family!" Laxus responded.
"Family or not, wrong is wrong," Makarov said, "And it is the duty of Fairy Tail to stop those who do wrong!"
"Then maybe I'll just join the guild he made!" Laxus said.
"Wait," Makarov said, holding up his hand, "You know where he is!"
"So what?" Laxus answered.
"He has incredibly sensitive information pertaining to Fairy Tail!" Makarov said, "If you know where he is, we've got find him!"
"Strange coming from the guy who chased him out," Laxus sneered, "It doesn't matter anymore, don't act like you care when you don't."
"Laxus," Makarov hissed.
"Just rest assured, that one day I'll surpass you," Laxus continued, "Not for my dad, but for me…" He then looked back at Makarov.
"So that I can show everyone I'm not just 'Makarov's grandson'," he said darkly.
(end Flashback)
Laxus was shook from his memories as he sensed something. He suddenly grinned.
"I was wondering when you'd get here," he said, looking up, "Mystogan." Said cloaked man stood before Laxus, ready to fight.
"Though I will confess I never thought you'd actually participate," Laxus continued.
"Deactivate the Thunder Palace, immediately!" Mystogan demanded, "If you do, maybe this can go off as just more festivity."
"And miss the opportunity of the life time?" Laxus said, "The opportunity to see who is strongest, me or you?"
"I'd say neither," Mystogan said, "That distinction belongs to Gildarts."
"Well he's not here," Laxus said, "So he doesn't matter. It's obvious that its come down to just you and me. I'll admit Erza, and maybe even Natsu, have promise. But they're both weak."
"Natsu and Erza weak? I know your a fool, but surely your not that foolish," Mystogan said.
"Can't you take a compliment?" Laxus sneered, "As things stand, its just you and me."
"It seems there is nothing else you can think of," Mystogan said.
"Now let's finish this once and for all, Mystogan," Laxus said, before grinning, "Or should I say…" Mystogan's composure, as he shot blast of magic from one of his staves. Laxus countered by firing a blast of lightning. The two magic blasts collided, shattering the windows, and sending a pulse of magic.
(with Natsu)
Natsu looked over his shoulder.
"He's at the church?" With that, he swooped around, and flew towards the church.
(with Erza)
"The cathedral, eh?" Erza said, as she cracked her knuckles. She then darted down the road in that direction.
(with Laxus and Mystogan)
The two fighters stood opposite each other, neither flinching.
"How'd you find that out?" Mystogan demanded.
"Maybe I'll tell you beat me," Laxus answered. Mystogan spun his stave through his fingers.
"You talk a big game," he said, "And its time I test said game. Perhaps I should demonstrate a power you have never seen before?"
"Let me have it!" Laxus sneered, gesturing for Mystogan to come at him.
"I'll end this quickly," Mystogan said, as he picked up another four of his staves, and thrust those, and the one he was holding, into the ground.
"Skyscraper." The ground beneath Laxus' feet swelled up, before a blast of energy came from the floor, and blasted Laxus through the roof, into the sky.
"The hell is this!" Laxus demanded. He then looked up, and saw what looked like the sky was ripping open. From that rip, came a massive monster. Laxus was screaming, before he suddenly smiled, and held up a fist, and smashed the monster as it came upon him.
The illusion faded away, as Mystogan was knocked back, looking in surprise.
"Illusion Magic is not the best way to fight me," Laxus said.
"Well frankly, it wasn't supposed to," Mystogan said, as he gestured. Laxus looked up, and noticed a series of magic seals looming over him.
"Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song!" Laxus just smiled.
"You're talking about being trapped eh?" Mystogan looked down, and saw a blast of lightning come beneath him.
The two mages were simultaneously struck into the air. The two emerged from the dust, and darted at each other. Mystogan swung a staff, Laxus thrust his lightning fist. The two attacks forced the two of them back.
"Lightning Bolt!" Laxus said, blasting his attack.
"Three Layered Magic Circle: Mirror Water!" The lightning attack reflected, and struck back at Laxus, who just knocked it away with his fist. He then turned into lightning, and bolted away. Mystogan followed his path, and when Laxus struck at him, he held up two of his staves together, and the attack bounced off.
He then threw three of his staves into the air, and held up a fourth. The three staves hovered over the fourth.
"Four Layered Magic Circle: Impact Wave!" A massive force lashed out, breaking the floor, and shooting at Laxus. The lightning mage responded by turning into lightning, and curving back at Mystogan. Mystogan responded by slamming his staff into Laxus' bolt as he came up, which redirected him back into the air.
"Not bad," Laxus said, as he fell back to the ground.
"Spare me your false compliments," Mystogan responded.
"Who said they were false?" Laxus countered.
"LAXUS!" Mystogan and Laxus turned to the door, and saw Erza standing there, and Natsu hovering next to her.
"Natsu?" Erza asked.
"Erza?" Natsu said, before landing, and looking at Mystogan, "Is that…"
"Mystogan," Erza echoed. Mystogan was looking at the two, his back was turned to Laxus.
"Mind your blind spot!" Laxus said, as he shot a bolt of Mystogan. The attack struck Mystogan, knocking off his mask.
A silence reverberated across the entire church, as everyone stared. Mystogan had blue hair, with dark eyes, and a red tattoo across his right eye. It was a face all too familiar to Erza and Natsu.
"You again!" Natsu said.
"Jellal?" Erza said slowly, "You're alive?"
"What the hell's going on!" Natsu demanded, "You mean all this time Mystogan's been Jellal?"
"You're wrong," Mystogan answered, "I may have a similar face, but I'm not Jellal." It was then that he started to fade away into mist.
"I'm afraid I've done all I can do, I leave the rest to you," he said, before fading completely.
"Wait!" Erza cried as she tried to move forward, before she was blasted by lightning.
"Erza!" Natsu cried.
"Well that's done," Laxus said cruelly.
"Laxus!" Natsu roared.
"When'd you get here, Natsu?" Laxus sneered.
"With my Dragon's Eye, I'm going to kick your ass!" Natsu said, as he charged Laxus, summoning up his fire claw.
"Stop trying so hard!" Laxus said, as he shot a lightning bolt at Natsu, while Natsu managed to curve away.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" Natsu clawed at Laxus, who held up his arm to block.
"Too slow," Laxus said, as he shocked Natsu with a lightning bolt, knocking him off him. Natsu's chest lit up, as he inhaled, and breathed out his fire. Laxus turned into a lightning bolt, and shifted away. Natsu created his wings, and flapped after him. Laxus shot out at him, and Natsu managed to block with his wings.
"You've gotten better, I'll give you that," Laxus said.
"'Better', that's an understatement," Natsu said, as he held onto a pillar. During this time, Erza weakly looked up, and she noticed something about Natsu. He was holding his fingers in a strange way. He was only holding onto the pillar with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger; his remaining two fingers were held back, and Erza noticed that coming from the tips of his fingers were the spines of his fire wings.
"Actually, I'd say that's an overstatement knowing you," Laxus sneered. Natsu fumed, as he dove down at Laxus, and slashed at him with his claws. Laxus easily blocked it, and struck Natsu with his fist.
"Just go run home like a good boy!" he said.
"Whose running?" Laxus then noticed Natsu had grabbed his arm.
"This is my chance to seize the top!" Natsu declared, as his held up his claws again, and slashed Laxus across the chest, sending him tumbling back. Laxus held up his hands.
"Lightning Spear!" he said, as he shot a shaft of lightning, which Natsu failed to react properly to. It struck him, but quickly rose to his feet, and breathed out more of his fire, which Laxus easily dodged. He then bolted Natsu, and kicked him away.
Natsu flapped his wings, and soared around Laxus.
"Fire Dragon's Blast!" He beat his wings, sending a wave of fire at Laxus. Laxus managed to escape from that without much trouble. As he was moving back, he whirled around to see Erza slashing down at him.
"Erza!" Natsu yelled, as he perched onto one of the seats.
I've got to put Mystogan out of mind she thought I've got to keep my heard in the game! Laxus leaned back, as Erza slashed down.
"What are those things in the sky?" Erza demanded.
"The Thunder Palace? So you noticed it," Laxus said, "Its just a thing to make the game more interesting."
"You're willing to destroy the entire town just for your petty vanity!" Erza yelled, "You son of a bitch!" She slashed at him again, but Laxus turned to lightning and avoided the attack.
"Two minutes left," he sneered. Erza's heart raced.
"Natsu, you have to destroy those things!" she said.
"Me?!"
"Your Dragon's Eye can destroy them all!" Erza said.
"I don't know if that's advisable," Laxus said, "Tell me, why do you think nobody at the guild has done any of that?" Erza paused.
"We can't destroy them!" Natsu explained, "If we do, we get shocked!"
"Living Link Magic?" Erza said.
"I'm afraid nobody's going to be doing anything to those Lacrima," Laxus said.
"You dirty coward!" Erza yelled. Laxus then kicked her away. Erza re-quipped into a new set of armor. This armor was silver with gold linings, with a long spear, and her hair braided.
"Lightning Empress Armor!" Natsu noted
"You think that's going to be enough?" Laxus scoffed. Erza ignored him, as she turned to Natsu.
"Natsu," she said.
"What?" Natsu answered. Erza grinned at him.
"Can you handle this?" she asked. Natsu blinked in surprise, and not waiting for an answer, Erza ran out.
"Erza, wait!" Natsu called.
"You think trying to do this is going to work?!" Laxus yelled, "You strike just one of those Lacrima, you're good as dead!"
"Well I'm not planning on destroying one of them," Erza said, before turning and smirking, "I'm going to destroy all of them!"
"How stupid are you!" Laxus yelled, "You think that's going to work! That'll kill you!"
"But it'll also save the town," Erza responded, as she ran out, "Natsu! I'm trusting you for this!"
"Erza!" Natsu called. The scarlet haired mage stopped.
"I'm trusting you too," Natsu said. Erza just nodded at him, still smiling, before running out. You saved my life she thought I don't intend on letting that go.
"Damn you!" Laxus said, as he tried to follow. However, Natsu intercepted him, as his chest flared up, and with a roar, he exhaled his fire in a massive torrent, that blasted Laxus away. Natsu was now hunched over, standing on three fingers, his other two folded back. His wings weren't gone.
"I'm going to reduce you to ash," Natsu hissed.
Note: Again, keep in mind that while Dragneel may have the same power as Dragonia, he does not possess the skill, or the power to use it as efficiently; as such, he may not be able to defeat Laxus as easy as he did Jellal. And mind you, Dragneel wasn't being Dragneel when he fought Jellal. That's something to keep in mind. If you're upset with this, bear with it, since next chapter will be something. I can't tell, but let me tell you the name: "Wrath of the Fire Dragon".
Take note, that Natsu didn't yell "Fire Dragon's Roar", because what he was doing was breathing fire, not using Dragon's Roar. I mean, we don't see dragon's yelling out when they use their breath weapon.
