The Battle of Fairy Tail has come to an end. Ichigo has defeated Muramasa and all the madness that he has brought finally came to an end. Heavy injuries were on Ichigo and Grimmjow. At this moment, people gathered around Kardia Cathedral with Ichigo standing at the top in victory with Muramasa in a crater in the street.

"Ichigo, nice work!" Erza called out.

"Thanks. It was nothing." Ichigo said, but he fell forward and was falling.

"Ichigo!" Erza ran over and was able to catch him before he hit the ground. "You've earned the break. Now, to end this for good." Muramasa layed in the ground, but he was able to regain his conscious. The final moments of the battle is happening.

"Fantasia"

Erza helped Ichigo moved as he leaned against her shoulder. Both of them walked over to Muramasa. They could see he was awake and he was able to turn his head to them.

"You've lost, Muramasa. The time has come for you to give up and face your punishment." Erza said. Muramasa ignored her and kept his focus on Ichigo.

"Ichigo is your name, right?" Muramasa said.

"Yeah." Ichigo said.

"Is being in a guild that amazing? I saw your partner was willing to put himself at risk to make sure you beat me." Muramasa said. "Is that because you had the same goal or is that from the bond you were saying."

"That's hard to say. Grimmjow is new and he and I don't get along, but that's the idea." Ichigo said. "Any member of Fairy Tail would have done the same, risk their life for another."

"I see. I think I'm beginning to understand." Muramasa said as he looked back at his life and beginning to think he was wrong the entire time.

"Well, I'm glad you're starting to see your mistakes, you still have a lot to make up for." Erza said. "Tell us what you've done with the children at once." Muramasa didn't say anything, but Ichigo was able to figure it out.

"Wait a minute. They never left the guild, did they? You use Illusion Magic to make it look like they did disappear." Ichigo said and Muramasa smiled.

"That's right." Muramasa said. "I had Chester set up a hidden rule that prevented them from leaving. With my defeat, the illusion should be no more. If they haven't left, they should be at the guild."

"That means Igneel should be safe." Lucy said as she was so happy her youngest wasn't hurt.

"That is good to hear. We should check to see if they are all safe and gather the injured." Erza said. "Ichigo was able to deal out enough punishment for all of Fairy Tail." Gray and Natsu helped up an injured Grimmjow and they began to head back to the guild.

"Ichigo." Muramasa said. Ichigo got off Erza to listen to what he had to say. "Is being part of a guild that amazing? Is the bonds you share the real source of your strength?"

"That is in Fairy Tail. We hold strong bonds and always look out for each other. We even make this symbol." Ichigo said as he gave the annual Fairy Tail salute with his finger and thumb. "It means that no matter how far someone is, we're looking their way. If you want to know all that, why don't you go see for yourself?"

"What do you mean?" Muramasa said.

"You should join a guild." Ichigo suggested and Muramasa never thought about that before. "I doubt after what you did today that anyone would want you in Fairy Tail, but you should consider joining another guild. It will take you a lot farther than you could ever get on your own." Ichigo left Muramasa there to think of that. Since Muramasa is beginning to think things differently, maybe it wasn't a bad idea.

….

The Guild

Muramasa spoke the truth. All the kids never left the guild and everyone was returning there. There were some hard feelings, but people were beginning to make up and get their injuries healed with some happy all the kids were safe.

"Mommy!" Igneel called out as he was able to find Lucy. Lucy ran right to him and hugged her child and wasn't planning on letting go.

"I'm glad everyone is safe." Rukia said. She turned to look at Grimmjow who was covered in bandages. "Gray told me what you did. You should be happy."

"I know what you're talking about and don't get the wrong idea." Grimmjow said as he was trying to act like a tough guy.

'He can act tough all he wants, but he's adapting pretty fast and pretty well to the guild.' Rukia thought. Meanwhile, Ichigo, who was also covered in bandages, was talking to Erza about the way Ulquiorra acted.

"That's what happened before I showed up." Ichigo finished telling and Erza was a little dismayed.

"I can't believe Ulquiorra acted like that. How could he just abandon fellow members of his own guild?" Erza questioned.

"I'm telling you, something is up with him. Ulquiorra isn't like any other member." Ichigo said. "I don't trust him. He's hiding something."

"I'm beginning to think you're right." Erza said.

"I know he's part of the guild, but…..wait, you what?" Ichigo said as he just heard what Erza said.

"I'm beginning to think you're right. No member of Fairy Tail would ever act the way you just described." Erza said. "I'll keep a close eye on him and see what he's really up to." Ichigo was glad Erza was listening to him about this. He was even happier when he saw Orihime walked into the guild.

"Orihime!" Ichigo called out as he tried his best to head over to her.

"Ichigo?" Orihime said as she looked around and then spotted him. "Oh my gosh! What happened to you?"

"I'll tell you later. Right now, I'm just glad you're okay." Ichigo said. "I was practically scared as hell when I saw your name come out and one of those creeps beat you."

"You were?" Orihime asked.

"Yeah. I know you hate to fight and I didn't want anything to happen to you." Ichigo said and it caused Orihime to blush a little.

"Alright, get everyone. We still have the Harvest Festival to get through and the Fantasia Parade is coming up." Erza said. "Hurry up. We all don't have much time. Any finishing touches you have better be done."

…..

Muramasa

"You can't be serious!" Dontoro shouted. The sun was starting to set and Muramasa gathered his team in the park. He just told them that he's thinking of finding a guild to join.

"You're seriously going to join a guild after everything we tried to do?" Lin asked.

"I had it all wrong. My battle with Ichigo and his friends have made me seen the truth." Muramasa said.

"I don't understand. We worked hard to eliminate all guilds and now you want to back out?" Chester said.

"I have no right to treat other guilds that way. Not all of them are bad or evil." Muramasa said. "Now, I wish to understand what being in one really means. The only way to do that is to join one."

"This is so not rocking." Takameer said.

"Are you really going through with this?" Chester asked.

"I am. You four should stay and enjoy the festival." Muramasa said. "If you wish to follow me, that's your choice. Farewell, my friends." Muramasa left it at that and began to leave.

"What are we suppose to do?" Dontoro said.

"I don't know. This is all I've ever really known." Lin said.

"Maybe we should go with him?" Takameer suggested. None of them knew what to do, but Chester seemed fine with the decision.

"He's finally moving on, but this won't be where it ends for us." Chester said and followed Muramasa. The three of them decided to go as well so Muramasa wouldn't be alone. He may have lost one friend many years ago, but he realizes he has four other.

Fantasia Parade

It became dark and the Harvest Festival still continued with everyone having a great time. The Fantasia Parade started up and it was amazing with some of the Fairy Tail wizards taking part of it. Others couldn't since they were greatly injured, but there was still a decent amount to take part. Grimmjow hanged back since this really wasn't his thing. He stared out on the floats and he hate to admit it, but was proud he got to be part of an amazing guild.

"Fairy Tail is so amazing."

"I can't wait till I'm old enough to join." Grimmjow heard it all with the people around him.

"I guess it isn't so bad." Grimmjow said. The floats drove by and each wizard did something amazing. Rukia and Gray used their Ice Magic and made many beautiful sculptures and the lights passed through and made rainbows. Uryu had his own float and used his Archery Magic and had his arrows collide to create fireworks. Chad and Renji were on one with Chad showing his incredible strength and Renji used his magic to help with some amazing acrobatic tricks. Nagato and Natsu had a float with them completely using fire with Lucy and their other kids sitting back to watch. Orihime and Rangiku were dancing around with ribbons and that was one men enjoyed the most and another was Erza performing graceful movements with swords and outfits that were pretty revealing. Ichigo had his own that was like the night sky and he used his magic to perform amazing tricks.

"Awesome!"

"I heard that he's the Night Spirit Slayer everyone is talking about." Muramasa was among the crowd as he walked by and heard them. He looked over and saw the parade going by and he actually enjoyed it. By some chance Ichigo looked out into the crowd and was able to spot him. No longer being enemies, Ichigo stuck to what he believed now that he knows Muramasa is just like him. Ichigo smiled in his direction and gaveoff the Fairy Tail salute. Muramasa was surprised. Everyone else did it, but Muramasa knew the one Ichigo was giving was off to him.

'No matter how far away you are, I'll be looking your way. We're spirit slayers and we look out for each other.' Ichigo thought and it was as if Muramasa knew what he was thinking.

"Thank you, Ichigo." Muramasa said as he headed out to a brand new adventure, a new attitude, and to a new destiny thanks to Ichigo.

…

Orihime: Weddings, the happiest time of everyone's life.

Ichigo: Not exactly.

Orihime: What do you mean? Of course it is.

Ichigo: I mean that there's someone that wish it was them getting married. Especially if that person is in love with the groom or bride. It's even worse if it's an arranged marriage.

Orihime: I guess you're right. That would be pretty bad.

Ichigo: Next time: I Do, Do I?

Orihime: How could you make the greatest moment of a person's life sound so bad?

Ichigo: How did I end up being the bad guy?
