Seven swords have been broken, both of the generals have been defeated, and we near the end of this war. Fairy Tail has had helped by their guild allies. The four spirit slayers battle against the fifth. It has been a helped, but Fairy Tail is going to be the one to end this. Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Lucy continue to fight against the master of Noches Espada, Sosuke Aizen. It was a hard battle, but they're finally gaining some ground against him.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu unleashed a lash of flames, but Aizen held up his hands and blocked the flames.

"Ice-Make: Freeze Lance!" Gray shot out a barrage of lances at Aizen and he got hit by those lances and ended up frozen. "Got him."

"Interesting. You hardly see fire and ice work well together." Aizen said through the ice and was able to smash it to pieces for him to be free.

"Black Wing Armor!" Erza flew down in her new armor and swung her sword, but the sword went right through him and he disappeared like an illusion. Aizen reappeared behind her, but Lucy used her whip to grab his arm.

"Not so tough now, are you?" Lucy said.

"I must say that it is impressive that you've all lasted this long, but it's about time for the show to end." Aizen said.

"Devastatio Magicae"

Aizen unleashed some magic power and broke his arm free from Lucy's whip. He jumped and flipped over Lucy so he could face all four of them.

"Now what do we do? We've thrown everything we've had at him and he's hardly taken any damage." Gray said.

"He's making me really mad." Natsu said. "Although, I love the challenge. It's been a long time since I got all fired up."

"Natsu, focus. We have to take this guy down." Lucy said.

"Why don't we stop and just talk for a minute?" Aizen said as he held up his hand. His hand glowed with magic and the gravity around them intensified. The ground sank some with some cracks forming. All four of them was crushed to the ground with the intense change of gravity around them and he kept them pinned there. "I've heard tales of the four of you and its more impressive seeing it for myself. The four of you have grown spontaneously as I thought you would."

"What do you mean by that last part?" Erza said.

"The truth of the matter is….I've been weary of the four of you for a long time." Aizen said and that was surprising knowledge to all of them.

"Are you saying you've been preparing for us since before this war started?" Gray said.

"Much longer before that. I have been for many years." Aizen said. "It all started with you….Natsu Dragneel."

"Me? What do you mean? Have you been spying on my personal life?" Natsu said. "Oh man. Did you spy on me and Lucy when we were trying to have kids, you freak?!"

"I don't think he's that kind of person." Lucy said as she blushed a little.

"What I mean is that I've heard of your famous destruction and destructive power and it peaked my interest." Aizen said. "The other three only got in the way of my sight, but I've seen them as well and they peaked my interest."

"How long have you been watching us?" Erza said.

"Ever since you're little team was formed." Aizen said. "I've used small devices and surveillance lacrimas to keep my eye on all of you. Everything he's revealing is a surprise to them. "Each one of you have faced a powerful enemy that's left a strong impact on you or awoke a new power."

"There's no way you could have watched all our battles." Lucy said.

"I have." Aizen said. "Interesting piece of information, all those life impacting battles came a little while after you joined the guild, Lucy." None of them noticed that before, but he was right. "Don't be too hard on yourself Lucy. This is a perfect example of coincidence. Either way, I have. I've seen all of you fight the guilds of the previous Balam Alliance, alter the future, and many other wars."

"Yeah right." Natsu said as he refused to believe it.

"I have and what you've learned." Aizen said. "During your battle with Gajeel in Phantom Lord, you learned of other dragon slayers. During your battle with Jellal, you experienced Dragon Force. During your battle with Zero, you took Dragon Force to new power. During your battle with Hades, you learned to control two elements at once. During your battle with the Twin Dragons, you learned the power of third generation dragon slayers. During your battle with the Rogue from the future, you altered fate. During your battle with Mard Geer, you learned to use the Dragon Force on your own. I've even seen your biggest battles between your brother Zeref and Acnologia. You learned of your origin from Zeref and how to use the power of seven dragons in your battle with Acnologia."

'He's even seen the battle with Acnologia?!' Erza thought as she didn't think that would be possible.

"You've learned of second generation from Cobra. God Slayer Magic from Zancrow. How to work with other dragon slayers in your battle with Laxus and the king of Edolas and much more." Aizen said. "Of course, there was the rest of you as well. Gray, you confronted your past in your battle with Lyon and Silver. Erza, you learned to stop hiding behind armor in your battle with Ikaruga and where your power lies in your battle with Azuma. As well as your origin from Irene. Lucy, you learned of new celestial power from your battle with Angel and learned to do what is hurtful when you took on all of Tartarus."

"This guy really has been watching all of our fights." Gray said.

"Here I thought Juvia was a weird stalker before she married Gray." Lucy said.

"You've made it clear you've been watching us Aizen. What is your point?" Erza said.

"All I am saying is that in each of those battles, each of you have grown powerful and continued to do so over the years." Aizen said. "I expected you would. I know of all your strengths. Even if you could injure me, the outcome will all be the same. You all will die and I shall take over the brand new world."

"Stop talking about this new world!" Natsu shouted as he tried to get up, but the intense gravity kept him down. "You keep saying you know us. You keep talking about this new world. It's starting to give me a headache."

"Exactly what are you trying to say?" Aizen said.

"You can't possibly know our strength because we grow stronger and stronger." Natsu said. "It's always changing. As for this new world, it's not going to happen. You don't need to destroy this world because there's nothing wrong with it. We all have our own freedom." Aizen gave a small chuckle from hearing Natsu talk.

"Fairy Tail is a suiting name for your guild." Aizen said. "You all live in fantasies. We have no freedom. We're all subjugated to higher beings. I'm going to be truly free by being one myself and the world I have envisioned will allow me to be just that. As for your strength, it is changing. I've seen you with that Night Spirit Slayer. After the war with Alvarez, you seemed to have gotten soft. The new generation has surpassed the old."

"I find that a good thing." Natsu said and was able to get on his feet. Even Aizen couldn't calculate he would be able to do that.

'How is he still standing with this much gravity?' Aizen wondered.

"The new generation has to learn from the old." Natsu said. "That means we have to set an example and take you down." Natsu was able to start running. "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Natsu caught himself on fire and rammed his head into Aizen and got everyone free from his Gravity Magic. Natsu raised his fist and pounded Aizen against his face and pushed him back.

"Alright, Natsu!" Lucy said.

"Nice shot, pyro." Gray said.

"Natsu is right. We have to set an example for the new generations to come and keep fighting." Erza said as she and the others got back up.

"That won't happen." Aizen said. "I cannot be defeated. I've made no mistakes. However, your strength is impressive. There's more than I calculated. However, in the world I'm going to create, all that power you have will be mine. I shall control all magic and I have the very spell to do just that."

"Impossible. There's no spell that allows you to control all magic." Erza said.

"I do and I'll show you." Aizen said. First, he held his arms out. Then, he brought them back and made an X with them. Finally, he placed his right hand over his left and clapped them together and formed something like a miniature black-hole. "Devastatio Magicae!" The black-hole had a powerful suction and Natus and the others felt weak with sparkling streams coming out of them.

"What's happening? I feel so weak." Lucy said as they were beginning to drop.

"Is our magic power being drawn from our bodies?" Erza said.

"Yes. That is the nature of this ancient spell." Aizen said. "It draws in all the ethernano in the area until I say otherwise and will cause massive destruction. The affects will spread as well. Until I have gathered enough, all Fairy Tail members will die."

"But you'll kill your own men as well as that crystal tower." Gray said.

"The God's Renewal will survive. It can't be destroyed and what I calculated won't be enough anyway." Aizen said. "As for my members, many of my elite have already fallen. Those who are still alive have failed me. The rest are of no use."

"You're despicable as a master." Erza said.

"Magic will be forever mine to control. This is the outcome I spoke of." Aizen said as he was a confident genius in believing he won.

"No this isn't." Natsu said as he still had plenty of strength. "This is our world. This is our magic. If you're not going to be part of it, you have no business being here." He charged right at Aizen.

"You imbecile. All you're doing is speeding along the process." Aizen said.

"My magic is my magic. Erza's magic is Erza's magic. Everyone's magic is their own magic." Natsu said. "We'll never hand it over without a fight." Natsu ignited his flames and struck at Aizen. The impact caused a great flash of light that covered most of the area and caused some tremors. Everyone hang back for the light to fade away. Lucy and the others saw Natsu was able to strike before Aizen could finish the spell.

"Now! Come on guys, attack." Natsu said.

"No, stay back!" Aizen said as he thrusted his palm against Natsu's chest and pushed him back. "I am the most powerful being. I am God! I cannot lose!"

"Oh yeah?!" Natsu said as he started to grow red scales over his body. This was the Dragon Force, the final form of Dragon Slayer Magic. Aizen saw the others coming to attack.

"Ice-Make: Ice Bringer!" Gray formed two swords and slashed Aizen with them that covered him in ice. Aizen looked to Lucy and saw she was glowing in yellow light and was chanting. The next thing he knew, he was in a starry sky with what looked like planets

"With all eighty-eight heavenly bodies shining! Urano Metria!" Lucy released all that power and blasted Aizen with it. Then, Erza was running right at him.

"Requip! Nakagami Armor!" Erza changed armors again to another revealing one with a halberd. "Nakagami Starlight!" Erza slashed at him with great force and senthim flying in the air for natsu to finish.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art! Flame Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!" Natsu spun his arms as streams of fire clashed against each other and blasted against Aizen with a great explosion. Aizen hit the ground and was met with devastating injuries. The master of Noches Espada has been taken down. "Yeah! Fairy Tail for the win!" Lucy ran over to him and kissed him right on the cheek.

"Every time you do stunts like that, I love you more and more." Lucy said.

"We did it! We took down their master." Gray said.

"Yes. I would assume everyone else has won their battles." Erza said.

"You think so, but you're wrong." All of them heard Aizen speak and couldn't believe he could. "Not to worry, I don't have the strength to stand. There's still Ulquiorra. As long as he has Orihime Inoue, we haven't failed."

"That's right. There's still that traitor." Gray said.

"I hope whoever is fighting Ulquiorra will take him down." Natsu said, but Aizen smirked.

'Don't be so sure. Ulquiorra has never let me down before.' Aizen thought. 'There's a reason Ulquiorra isn't one of my generals. It's because he refused the position.'

…

Ulquiorra

Orihime has never been so terrified. Three of the spirit slayers were beaten and laying on the ground. The fourth, Ichigo, was hung by Ulquiorra as Ulquiorra had him by the neck. Aizen might have been defeated, but if Ulquiorra isn't stopped, it all the pain, all the struggle, all the suffering Fairy Tail went through might be for nothing.

…

Ichigo: Emotions can be a problem. They make you experience sadness, terror, and anger. However, there are good emotions as well that you experience such as joy and excitement. Those who can't understand that are lost in darkness and have yet to see the light that lies inside them.

Next Time: Five Spirits

Ichigo: We fall, but we continue to stand for what we believe in.
