CUBE – D

Chapter 31

Sapphire, Natsu, Mira and Makarov were inside the cube fighting Billy, Will and Kate. Meanwhile Nick and another Billy, Will and Kate were sitting in a cockpit. They hit a massive button that said roar.

"Listen up everyone outside!" Nick yelled. Me and the rest of us on the outside turned our attention to the massive cube.

"This is the end! We've now collected enough magic energy to fuel the CUBE – D program. Prepare to die!" Gear Chronicle hit a massive red button that said 'ROAR' the massive cube began changing. It transformed and sides of the cube opened up and massive legs slowly revealed themselves. A tail emerged from the back of the cube. The sides of the cube folded onto the back part of the machine. A gigantic horned head appeared from the front of the cube. My eyes widened at what I saw.

"I can't be. Tha-That's… A dragon!" The mechanical dragon roared a fierce machine-ish roar and spread its mechanical wings made from the sides of the cube. Nicks voice came from the dragon. (Not the mouth)

"Over this battle I have accumulated enough magic power from the wizards inside to boot this thing up. And now, without knowing it, they're still fueling it by fighting and constantly releasing magic power. Now let's see about destroying YOU!" The dragon began moving and its mouth opened. It spewed a massive flame big enough to burn down the entire guild in one swoop. "LIGHTNING DRAGON ROAR!" Laxus roared. "POISON DRAGON ROAR!" Cobra joined in. Soon all us dragon slayers were roaring except for Natsu for obvious reasons. We didn't manage to withhold it for long. It burst through our attack Erza stepped in wearing her adamantine armor. To no avail. Her armor was blasted to pieces.

"I come back from a mission and this is what awaits me. Geez can't a guy catch a break," Gildarts said and slammed his fist against the massive flame. Using his disassemble magic he split the fire into multiple smaller flames. He was pushed back, but the flames missed the guildhall and flew out over the ocean.

"You're lucky it still needs to warm up a bit I'd say you have ten minutes."

"Why did my crash magic not work?" Silver broke in.

"It might be because that was not magic. These people utilize something called technology. It resides by building complicated machinery capable of various tasks."

"What are we going to do? Even Gildarts got pushed back by that thing," Jet and Droy said and hugged each other.

"There's only one thing TO do. We destroy it!" Kai said as he entered the conversation.

"But how?" Everyone asked. Silver stepped forward.

"Everything living or artificial has a weakness. We only need to find the vulnerable area. I myself will analyze that machine. Finding its weak spot. The exceeds will assist me by providing images via vision lachrima from the guildhall. Freed and Levy if you would be so kind as to set up an enchantment to keep the town from being destroyed. When you are done come back to the guild and assist me. Anyone who does not wish to battle that machine, go into town and help the citizens evacuate. The rest of you will need to keep it in check by any means necessary. Wendy heal anyone who requires it. Warren, you keep everyone in contact and we'll coordinate accordingly. And finally… stay safe. We will leave a home for the rest to come back to when they get out of that dragon," Everyone nodded.

"Got it!" We all shouted and did the fairy tail hand sign. Then we all went to work. Erza took lead of the assault squad.

"If we flank it from all sides it might confuse it. It will also be the most effective way to lead the girls to find its weak spot. Everyone split up. Gildarts you will need to stay in front of the guildhall and prevent it from being destroyed. It seems to be the primary target for its attacks," They all split up to go to different locations of attack. Jet was put in charge of evacuating.

"I'll take the houses furthers away. The rest of you help where it's needed," With that he was off and the rest began helping everyone get out of the city. Freed was on the outskirts of town with Levy writing an enchantment.

"We do not have that much time to perform this task, but we must not be careless. This enchantment will have to be strong enough to hold the entire town together," Freed said as he noticed Levy was sweating. Silver was inside the guildhall with the exceeds.

"Here are some vision lachrima. One for each of you. Attempt to get the dragon from every angle if possible. Go," All six exceeds grabbed a lachrima and flew out of the guild with their max speed. Silver observed the screen writing down possible weak spots.

"Looks like you ten minutes are up. Hope you're done preying. Activating fire breath!" The dragon breathed fire again. It was aimed at the guildhall again. Gildarts punched the fire again with all his strength. He was pushed back but managed to blow it to pieces again. We dragon slayers were preparing our attack around the side of the dragon.

"UNITED DRAGON ROAR!" We all roared at the same time creating a massive spiral composed of all our elements. It hit the dragon dead on but it didn't even leave a mark. Laki, Gray and Rufus were also preparing an attack from the opposite side. "ICE MAKE UNLIMITED: ONE SIDED CHAOTIC DANCE!" Gray created a massive spiral of ice-swords connected by ice. "WOOD MAKE: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS FOREVER!"(Yes that's an actual spell she has. Look it up) Laki slammed her hands into the ground and underneath the dragon sprouted several giant hands and feet composed of wood and they hit the dragon. "MEMORY MAKE: SWORD OF FROZEN BLACK LIGHTNING!" Rufus shot a gust of cold air. When it hit the ground spikes of ice emerged. They shot black lightning at the dragon. When the lightning made contact, it turned to ice again. The dragon was unaffected by any of their attacks. It swung its tail at the molding wizards who were hit and flew as far as the barricade of enchantments Levy and Freed were setting up.

"It's useless. Nothing can hurt it. I'm invincible as long as I'm in here!" Nick yelled from inside the cube. Silver lit up from her frustrated mindset.

"I have got it. I believe I may be onto something. I will only require a few more minutes," she said using Warren's telepathy so everyone heard it.

"Exceeds I need shots of its head piece. That has to be his location. No wait that is too easy. Ignore that order. Aim for the betty instead."

"Got it!" the exceeds yelled in unison. The dragon slammed down its feet. Jet noticed a little kid under where the foot would land. EXTREME HIGH SPEED!" a magic circle appeared behind him and he rushed in grabbing the kid and making it out on the other side right as the foot stomped down.

"You okay little fella," She nodded.

"Let's go find your mother," He said and rushed after the evacuated people. He got there and overlooked the battle from the hill. Attacks were bombarding the dragon from all sides but it wasn't even flinching.

"BABY! I was so worried. Thank you wizard of Fairy Tail," a woman said and hugged the child.

"You're welcome," Jet said as he ran back towards the town.

"Why the hell aren't we making a dent in this thing?!" Gajeel complained. We all dodged out of the way of its massive claw coming directly at us.

"We just need to trust Silver while she figures out a weak point," I said and fired another roar at the giant thing.

"Screw this. I'm eating it!" Gajeel said and jumped down from the building we were standing on. That was… actually a pretty good idea.

"Guys! Let's help Gajeel get onto that thing. It must be made of iron right! That means Gajeel can eat it and maybe get inside of it," The remaining dragon slayers nodded. We ran after Gajeel and I gave him a boost.

"Is this a viable plan Silver?"

"Very! Gajeel! If you can get inside of it make your way towards the middle. It's the most likely place for the control panel to be placed," Gajeel landed on its leg. He sunk his teeth into the metal.

"Alright this is iron," He started gnawing away at the metal until he got through it. Meanwhile the rest of us had landed next to him on the leg. We all climbed into the leg. There was nothing but wired inside of it. We began climbing upwards. The dragon shook its leg when it felt us inside. We eventually got to a wall. Gajeel tried biting it.

"Aw. This isn't iron. IRON DRAGON CLUB!" He slammed it with his fists, but it didn't dent it at all.

"Silver what the hell is this!?"

"It might be something called aluminum. If it is thick enough it very tough. If my math is correct Laxus should be able to melt it with enough electricity," Laxus climbed up and placed his hands on the metal. He then began channeling lightning through it. "Stand back," we all backed off… a lot "LIGHTNING DRAGON OVERLOAD!" He burst out a massive amount of electricity. Our hair became static even at the distance we were at. The metal began melting and Laxus ripped it apart as soon as it became bendable enough. We ended in a long corridor bended upwards slightly. It was most likely straight when it was just a cube. We began running down the hall when we came to a fork in the road.

"Let's split up," Rogue suggested and so we did. Me, Sting and Rogue went one way while Cobra, Laxus and Gajeel went the other. Suddenly out of nowhere, Will came walking around the corner. He had his gatling gun equipped. He began firing the second he saw us. "GLASS DRAGON SPIKE SHELL!" I created the spiked shell and I blocked his bullets with the shells on my arms and when we were close enough Sting and Rogue jumped out from behind me. "WHITE DRAGON: ROAR!" "SHADOW DRAGON: ROAR!" The two roars collided with Will and he was knocked out.

"That doesn't add up. Kate wasn't that easy to beat. Let's continue," we started running again. We got to a big metal door. The other three came running from the other direction.

"It seem s every path leads to this door. This has to be it," Rogue deducted. Gajeel and Laxus smashed down the door. Inside was the four members of Gear Chronicle. Nick was the only one who reacted. Before he could do anything Gajeel and I shot at him with our pillars and got him away from the cockpit. Laxus and Cobra started breaking the room apart. Sting and Rogue grabbed Nick as he tried to fight back.

"You can't beat me I will have my reve…" Gajeel interrupted him by punching him in the face knocking him out.

"Why did you do that?"

"He was annoying," the second he was knocked out the three other members of his team fell apart into mechanical pieces. At Makarov and the other's locations all the Billy's, Kate's and Will's fell apart into mechanical. Mira tried holding onto the Will she was fighting with but he disappeared as well. Nick himself also fell apart in Sting and Rogues hands.

"What the…" the big green tube opened and out fell another Nick. I caught him. The entire dragon began rumbling.

"Oh no. This things falling apart!" Sting stated.

"Everyone brace yourselves!" Rogue yelled as he hit a big button that said catapult. The entire room began falling.

Outside everyone were in shock that the dragon started slowly falling apart. The belly of the dragon opened up and a small room fell out. The room hit the ground and fell apart. The parts slowly disappeared as they detached. Everyone cheered upon the dragon's defeat. The people began making their way back towards the city. Everyone from Fairy Tail made their way back to the guildhall. Makarov was really confused.

"What happened here? Are you all unharmed?"

"We're fine. A little beat up, but we're fine," Gray stated. Makarov looked relieved.

"You did great my children. I'm very proud of you. However… WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THIS?!" He shouted and indicated to the entire city, which was mostly destroyed. We all acted as if we were completely innocent.

"I can't believe you guys fought a giant dragon without me!" Natsu and Sapphire yelled simultaneously after we explained the situation to the master and the others who were inside while we were fighting.

"Well it's not like we had a choice," Cana countered.

"Please calm down. There's no reason to quarrel over such things. It has been done and we all survived," Silver reasoned. Sapphire and Natsu both turned their head.

"How's Nick doing? He wasn't looking so great when he came out of that tube," I asked and Porlyusica who had been summoned by Makarov to help took out a note block.

"He's doing fine as long as he stays on the medicine I gave him. Also, I'm going back to my house and if you ever come get me again I hate humans," she said and left in a hurry.

Nick sure was a weird one. He created a team from robots yet doesn't acknowledge them. Gives them a personality that he dislikes. Attacks Fairy Tail because we left him behind, but I know we would never hurt a member of Fairy Tail!
