Nine people from the three guilds have managed to get on the D.E.C. after it was awakened. All of them split up to try and find a way to stop the cannon before it reaches whatever target it's after. Muramasa and Nel went down one way and they already came across Tarantula and his pet, Arna.

"Welcome to our parlor. Looks like we got a nice meal, Arna." Tarantula said.

"That one is called Tarantula." Nel said.

"I remember him. I owe him a little payback after his pet nearly got me killed by poison." Muramasa said.

"I'm surprise you're still alive." Tarantula said. He patted Arna and signaled her to drop down and turn right side up. Both of them moved out the way as they faced against him. "I'll just have to make sure I finish the job."

"Caught in the Web"

"Are you ready, Nel?" Muramasa asked.

"More than ready." Nel said.

"Go, Arna! Have them rot away." Tarantula said and Arna shot out the poison spikes, but both of them jumped out of the way.

"Light Spirit's Holy Arrows!"

"Spatial Spirit's Disruption Flow!" Nel shot her arrows and Muramasa shot out orbs, but Arna jumped up to the rooftops and avoided the both of them.

"Let's wrap this up already." Tarantula said. Arna shot out widen out threads of her webbing and got the both of them tied up. "Enjoy your meal, Arna. Savor every bite." Arna crawled down and was ready to feast on them.

"I don't think so." Nel said. She had a free arm and blasted the threads to get the both of them free and they both moved back.

"Keep the spider busy, Nel. I'll go for the tamer." Muramasa said. He jumped from wall to wall and got above. He had magic in the palm of his hand and came down to strike at Tarantula, but Tarantula wasn't concerned. He held up his hand and blocked it.

"You didn't honestly think I didn't have any power of my own, did you?" Tarantula said and tossed Muramasa into a wall. "Enjoy your meal with the girl, Arna. I'll get your next meal ready." Tarantula shot out threads from both his hands on the wall and sling shot himself at Muramasa and smashed him right through the wall and on the roof.

"Nelliel, are you going to be alright to fight that thing?" Muramasa asked with concern.

"I'll be fine. You just stay focus on the tamer." Nelliel said.

"You should be worried!" Tarantula said as he jumped up and brought his leg down, but Muramasa crossed his arms over him and blocked the attack. Nel was left to fight the spider.

"Light Spirit's Howl!" Nel unleashed her howl attack and pushed Arna back, but it was tougher than most spiders. She walked right to Nel and swung one of her legs. Nel tried to block it, but she was still thrown back by the attack. Tarantula was capable of hand-to-hand combat against Muramasa as he kept attacking and attacking with Muramasa trying block him.

"Eat it!" Tarantula said as he swung his leg and hit Muramasa in the head and pushed him back.

'He is skilled in combat. Defeating him will not be easy.' Muramasa thought.

"There's no way you're going to win." Tarantula said. "Let me know when you're ready to give up. Arna's appetite is growing and she hates to be kept waiting for her to eat."

"You're very disturbing." Muramasa said as he powered up another one of his attacks. "Spatial Spirit's Cosmic Crusher!" Muramasa unleashed the attack, but Tarantula jumped over the edge to dodge the attack. He shot a thread and swung himself around and got behind Muramasa and kicked him in the back.

"I thought spirit slayers were suppose to be so powerful and scary that they break a person's spirit." Tarantula said. "From what I see right now, I'm not all that impressed."

"Careful. This fight hasn't truly started yet." Muramasa said. "Compared to the other fights I've been through, this is nothing."

"Sure, keep telling yourself that. It's just going to make my victory all the sweeter." Tarantula said. Nel was hardly doing any better against Arna. Arna was shooting out globs of web at her, but Nel avoided all of them.

"Hasn't this thing run out yet?" Nel said. She jumped from wall to wall and got to the rooftops herself. She got a better view and saw Arna was eating the threads she already used. "Of course. Spiders eat their threads to restore what they lost." Arna aimed and shot a much thicker thread and Nel got wrapped in it. She tried to break out, but this thread was stronger than the last. "What's going on? Why can't I break out? Muramasa!" She called out to get his attention and he saw she was in trouble.

"Nelliel!" Muramasa called out and had the intention to help her, but Tarantula knocked him off the building and on the streets.

"Don't bother." Tarantula said. He jumped and landed on the web Arna made earlier. Arna tossed Nel over to the web and she stuck there.

"What's with this web? Why can't I break it?" Nel said.

"The thicker spider silk is, the stronger it is and the harder it is to break." Tarantula said. "Just be glad it's not golden spider silk that can be made by a certain kind of spider. Alright, Arna, come and get your snack." Arna climbed up the wall and got back to the web.

"Hang on, Nel." Muramasa said.

"Where exactly am I suppose to go?" Nel said pointing out that she's tied up and can barely move. Tarantula jumped down and swung his leg at Muramasa, but he jumped back and avoided him.

"I don't think so." Tarantula said.

"Move aside." Muramasa said.

"Not a chance." Tarantula said. "Go ahead Arna. Hurry and feed and become bigger and stronger." Arna worked her way over to the web and Nel did her best to try and break free, but it wasn't looking good. "First you two, then all those pathetic weaklings in all those pathetic guilds."

'The way this guy talks reminds me of myself.' Muramasa thought. Muramasa was once a leader of a small group that set out to destroy guilds. When his attempt to crumble Fairy Tail failed, Ichigo reached out to him and convinced him to be part of the guild he's in now. "You must enjoy it." He said.

"Excuse me?" Tarantula said.

"The thrill of torturing others and I see you've been depraved of friendship to a mere spider." Muramasa said. "I don't know if you consider those in your guild your friends, but I can see how you must think. I use to be the same myself."

"I don't know what you're talking about and I frankly don't care." Tarantula said. He charged right at Muramasa again and brought back his fist and struck him, but Muramasa blocked it with one hand and Tarantula was surprised by it. Tarantula had great strength behind that attack, but Muramasa was able to block it.

"I've learned from my mistakes and you will suffer from yours such as bringing out this monstrosity and opposing what is pure in the world." Muramasa said as he tossed Tarantula into a wall. "Nel, unleash as much light as you can."

"On it." Nel said. She concentrated her power and shined a bright light that blinded Arna.

"Spatial Spirit's Howl!" Muramasa unleashed his howl attack and blasted Arna and the web broke apart and Nel got free.

"My turn. Light Spirit's Meteor Strike!" Nel increased her speed and bounced off the ground with her tackling Arna and got it to fly in the air.

"Arna!" Tarantula shouted.

"Why don't you join her?" Muramasa said. He grabbed Tarantula and tossed him in the air. Muramasa unleashed another howl attack and blasted the both of them higher. "Now, Nel! Finish this up."

"I don't want to go back in that web so I'll use my best attack to end this." Nel said. "Spirit Slayer Secret Art! Shining Joust Light!" Nel formed a pink jousting rod made of light. She tossed it and a light spiraled around it. The rod struck Tarantula and pushed him into Arna. It sent the both of them flying. Tarantula and Arna crashed through a few buildings and were even sent flying over the edge and off the cannon. Tarantula already blacked out with his eyes rolled in the back of his head and the two of them landed in the trees. The spider has been crushed with Nel and Muramasa free from his web.

"Nice shot." Muramasa said.

"Thank you." Nel said. "Muramasa, was what you said true? Did you really use to be just like that guy?"

"I was, but that was long before I met Ichigo." Muramasa said. "He set me on the right path and that's what brought me to right now."

"Ichigo really is amazing." Nel said. "As much as I like to keep talking about this, we should keep moving. We might have beaten that spider person, but this thing is still moving."

"You're right. Let's keep heading towards that tower." Muramasa said and the two of them kept going. With Tarantula down, only three are left.

…

Shunsui and Harribel

The two masters went a different route as they were heading for the tower themselves. Both of them kept moving, but both of them came to a stop. They both sensed another's presence and it was close and they could feel it was evil.

"Did you honestly think you could hide?" Harribel said.

"You might as well come out. Attacking from the shadows is a smart strategy, but it's a bit cowardly." Shunsui said.

"No one calls me a coward." Both of them looked up and saw that Ray was the one that found them. He jumped down to face the both of them.

"You're the one called Ray." Harribel said.

"That would be me." Ray said. "This is my lucky day because I get to take down two guild masters. I hope you two are ready because it's lights out for the both of you." He emitted his magic power with his body covered in a light and was ready for the two of them.

…..

Natsu and Erza

With those two heading their way to the tower, Natsu was ready to fight thanks to the invisible barrier Hachi set up. It protected him from motion sickness and he's still able to fight even with it around him.

"Come on. I'm ready to fight and stop this thing. Where is it even going?" Natsu said.

"That's a good question." Erza said as she looked to the sky to try and get an indication in the direction. "Wait a second." Erza worked her way up to get a better view of what she was seeing. She had an idea as to where it was going and she didn't like it.

"Erza, what's wrong?" Natsu said.

"If this thing continues in the same direction, it's going to reach Magnolia." Erza said.

…

Orihime: Ichigo, do you really know anything about the guild Mr. Shunsui is from?

Ichigo: Not really. That guild isn't that well known like the others, but it does seem to have some power to it.

Orihime: I bet the masters of all guilds are super powerful that they can even take on the heavens.

Ichigo: What?"

Ichigo: Next Time: Guild Masters

Orihime: That would be so amazing. Of course, I know one could ever stand up to Master Erza.
