Hey guys, don't know how many readers I lost from not updating in a while but I plan to get you all back. I'm not used to writing battle scenes but tell me whether you like them or not ok?
Notice: Just a reminder to everyone the battle against Leviathan Skull is going to be epic, but remember it's also a way, which calls for a lot of blood shed...

Normal POV
Gray Fullbuster had been running ever since Lucy called it. He didn't know where he was just that he was somewhere in the giant forest where the nine guild members would be. Honestly he was fine with the constant running, everything was pretty quiet and if not peaceful if not knowing he was technically being hunted, that is until a bloody-ear-piercing screech filled the area.
He froze over his ears to block out the terrible noise but even then it wasn't enough. It was when the screeching finally ended did he realize he wasn't where he was before, but was now in an entire different area with Kai to the right of his side, sprawled unconscious and Crash Furi standing on the opposite end of the clearing of them.
"Oy! Hey, wake up!" Gray whispered-shouted, kicking Kai right in the stomach waking him up instantly and alert. Quickly flipping to his feet he looked around before his eyes landed on Gray. "Huh, what the hell was that for man?!" He yelped at Gray who chucked a snowball in his face, who Kai didn't have time to dodge was now covered in snow.
"Hey, are you looking for a fi-" Kai was cut off by Gray shoving him to look over to see an unamused Crash looking at them. Kai went quiet, ignoring the snow that had melted off his face and was now completely focused on Crash, but inwardly promised pay-back on the fairy when this was over.
Crash slowly began walking toward them, his footsteps silent as he approached. Neither Gray nor Kai moved even a muscle. But did widen their eyes when they saw the grass around Crash suddenly go up in flames roasting until they turned black, but by then the grass was being rained upon by Crash, rain out of nowhere hitting only the area surrounding Kai. When the rain disappeared ice took its place, freezing the grass as he walked, and then the land behind him that had been either fried, showered, or frozen cracked and dispersed into a giant hole as the earth crust moved apart before moving back, leaving just a layer of brown bare rock.
Wind then circled the area once Crash was half way across where he suddenly stopped. Huge tornados formed around him, four circling around him, with Crash standing firm on the ground. Fire then became apart of one of the tornados, then another of water, the next glowed of golden sparks, and the final crackled in electric blue lightning streaks.
"Oh shit." Kai muttered, surprised by the amount of elements Crash could combine together with seeming-less zero effort.
Power literally radiated in the air, practically pulsing.
Crash then spoke. "I am number 9, Crash Furi. And tonight will be the moment of your utter and final defeat." His voice was deep and determined, but also slightly bored as though he saw them quite below his class of power.
Gray and Kai angered by this immediately got into a fighting stance, though Crash remained the same.
"We'll see about that!" Gray yells out, one fist raised up with swirling blue-white light gathering around his hand.
"Fuck yeah!" Kai screams out determined, his skin adding a second skin of silver metal.
The tornados surrounding Crash dispelled, leaving Crash defenseless, or so the two mages believed. Immediately the two raced forward, Kai taking the left side while Gray take the right.
"Metal Make; Spear!" Kai shouts out, a spear of pure metal forms in his left hand before he throws it forward, really fast and hard at Crash. "Ice Make; Ice Geyser!" Gray shouts, the ground in front him freezing over before a wave of ice spikes poke out of the ground heading towards Crash.
A flick of fire shoots out from a single finger of Crash's hand firing towards the large mass of frozen ice spikes, seeming as nothing until the flick turns into a large roar of fire completely wiping out the ice, causing a hiss to erupt from the ice as the fire burns it and a smoke cloud fills the air blinding Kai on the other side.
"Shit!" Kai curses, jumping back as a wave of rain appearing as a hurricane whips towards him, knocking him off his feet, his spear missing Crash by a long shot.
"'The hell ice queen!" Kai curses Gray, blaming him for the complete miss. Which technically was Gray's fault or Kai just has terrible aim..
The two went at it as a competition then, firing spell after spell at random times, circling around Crash recklessly.
"Ice Make; Ice Cannon!"
"Metal Make; Big Boomer!"
"Ice Make; Knuckle!"
"Metal Make; Missile Launcher!"
"Ice Make; Saucer!"
"Metal Make; Canon!"
"Ice Make; Crescent Blades!"
"Metal Make; Throwing Knives!"
"Ice Make Unlimited; One Sided Chaotic Dance!"
"Metal Make; Minigun!"
"Ice Make; Freeze!"
"Metal Make; Serrated Blade!"
"Ice Make; Seven Slice Dance!"
"Metal Make; Machine Gun!"
"Ice Make; Vambrace!"
The two mages threw out a dozen spells recklessly and uncordinally at their enemy, to busy throwing out attacks they hadn't noticed the huge wall of impenetrable rock shielding Crash, meaning that every of their attacks were of complete waste, and now the two were tired.
Crash saw this and decided to make his move while their weakened. "Seven Seas of the Gods; Roar!" He yells, a huge 700ft wave of water appeared above their heads, a humanoid like figure holding a trident burst out of it, before wrenching back his trident and throwing it forward before falling back into the wave and it too fell forward towards Gray and Kai.
Knowing this attack would cost themselves a lot of magic out of their already lower than average magic they pulled up their strongest spells.
"Ice Make; Shield!"
"Metal Make; Silver Shield!"
As the two shields formed above the two, they began to lengthen out unlike they usually do and connected together due to the two mages being near one-another, their magic wanting to protect their commanders joined together to protect them both, for once despite their anger, together.
The huge wave clashed against the silver metal and ice shield, blocking out 3/4's of the wave before the shields finally shatter. Gray seeing this makes a desperate attempt to escape the collision.
"Ice Make; Kite!" A Frozen kite forms and blows upward with Gray's left hand holding tightly to the tough frozen string, so his weight wouldn't affect his flight.
"Grab on!" Gray calls to Kai, who barely hesitates a second before leaping five feet up and grasping ahold unto Gray's wrist. The kite pulls them into the sky, just barely missing the roaring wave that shattered through their frozen silver shield and dispersed into the trees behind them.
"Hold on!" Gray shouts over the raging winds (courtesy of Crash) and dives down back to the ground. Once barely ten feet in the air he shouts out "Ice Make; Slide!" creating a frozen U shaped slide that easily catches them making them slide down and back up, landing smoothly back on their feet.
But they didn't get a second to catch their breaths as a fireball lashed out at them. Gray barely got up his ice block as the fire ran flat against it, doing no damage to Gray.
Kai panted before steadying with a deep breath. Quickly speaking knowing he didn't have much time before another attack would be thrown at them with their already running low magic he spoke to Gray, "He's been baiting us, waiting for our magic to run low." Kai began. "I know." Gray said only to gain a glare by Kai for interrupting. "We don't have much magic left for only dodging or blows that do nothing to him. So we should use our last amount.." "with a unison raid." Gray finished, receiving a quick nod from Kai.
"Okay, but we got to get close enough first, we only get one chance." Gray shouts out before sprinting forward, narrowly dodging a steel rod that continued forward past him. Kai ran forward as well, but banking right. They continued to dodge the seemingly endless and effortless spells by Crash until they were finally parallel with one another.
Two large gusts of winds went towards them but the two jumped toward one another, before it hit them. Gray's hands glowed a dark grey while Gray's shined a bright blue and white, their magic fusing together forming into a giant winged serpent, the body of a serpent was a dark grey while it's wings were white and bright blue, made of frozen steel.
Crash froze for if only just for a second, realizing the two mages had found his weakness.
The winged serpent was half the size of a dragon, staring directly down at Crash before it dived forward, straight toward Crash. And once it impacted it exploded into black spikes of 15ft ice shooting upwards.
Gray and Kai slowly approached the frozen structure, and found the frozen figure of Crash inside, his face twisted in agony. Gray sighed, and Kai relaxed his shoulders, the two happy of their enemies defeat. However Kai couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly a shout echoed behind them. "Elemental Sacrificial Blade!" It was Crash who appeared running straight for Kai's back, a flaming, raining, wind covered blade held tightly in his right hand. "If I'm going to Hell, I'm not going alone!" He screamed, before plunging his sword forward full force.
Blood splattered the grass as the blade went through skin.
Blood seeped through the deep gash of Crash's right shoulder made from Kai's Metal Axe, while Gray's ice sword protruded straight through Crash's chest.
More crimson-red blood fell. Crash's blade had gone straight through flesh, leaving a fatal wound. But not to the Metal Maker, but instead Gray who had barely just in time saved Kai from the blow.
"I fall to hell with a smile, one of the light has been killed, while many are left exhausted. Remember that our ranks of powers our worlds apart. None of you stand a chance against us.." Crash's words were nothing but a whisper at the end of the sentence before the light faded from his eyes and his body collapsed limp to the ground. More blood drowning the grass.
Kai lowered his comrades body to the ground, yanking out Crash's blade and throwing it to the side, the blade that was once covered in elements was now nothing more than an simple iron blade. But a blade that has down fatal damage to the ice-make mage.
"Why the fuck did you do that?" Kai shouts at Gray, who's blood leeks from the corners of his mouth.
"Because I don't want anyone else to feel the loss of a member. I've lost two because one returned, and I don't want anyone else to know or even feel the feeling of despair..." Gray coughed some more blood, his chest heaving out before his movements turned sluggish.
"Hay man, don't pass out okay?! We'll find a healer and get some help. That Welly girl from your guild heals right? We can go find her!" Kai trails off.
"Her name's Wendy." Gray whispers, his eyes half closed.
Kai starts to try and lift Gray up, but when Gray pulls on Kai's arm he stops. "Go." He tells Kai.
"What? No fucking way?! I will never leave a comrade behind!" Kai shouts at Gray, trying to pull Gray up but he wouldn't budge.
"I'm..I won't make it Kai. If you were to run into another enemy with me.. it won't be good.. I'll just be dead weight." Gray's voice begins to die out as he speaks.
"I don't give a hell! Do you honestly expect me to just leave you here?!" Kai stops trying to lift Gray up knowing he couldn't at his exhaustion and instead kneels next to dying ice mage.
"I..don't..expect you to do it, but.. it's what must be done.." "But-" Gray interrupts Kai before he could continue. "The wizard council and probably the entire magic world is at stake. We need you.. on the field without any.." He takes in a seeping breath. "..extra weight on your back."
Kai shook his head.
Gray smirks slightly. "Don't let this.. be in vain okay?.." His eyes shut but he continues speaking "..Pound them to the ground... for me. I don't... know.. how much longer... I'll last..." His last breath breathes out before Gray to falls into the hands of death.
Kai's shoulders shake in both sadness in anger before he raises to his feet and let's out an echoing roar of hatred.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL, LEVIATHAN SKULL!"
