Hello everyone, here is the next chapter, where when we last left off. Once again I am sorry I didn't update, but with crazy stuff happening in the world, including when Russia invaded Ukraine, things sure have gotten hard. I do pay my respects for Ukraine, hoping for the better.
I have also been working on my rewrite of Inner Power, which I hope to make MUCH better than the original.
As you probably have written in the reviews, I saw that you complained with Natsu being too OP, and having a harem.
Look, I can understand that. Natsu is stronger than in canon, and will become stronger in canon. It's just that right now he is nowhere the level where can easily destroy Zeref or Acnologia with just his finger, just that you know. Heck, I am even trying not to make Natsu too op in this story.
For the harem, as I said before, I am gonna have Natsu have 20 women in his harem, nothing more, and nothing less.
But without further ado, let's get going on this chapter.
Hiro Mashima is the one and only owner of Fairy Tail. I don't own a thing.

Chapter 61: Clash of Edolas
In the sky, the former Captain of the 1st Magic Division, Laxus Thorson, floated with the armor of the Helmod Armor, watching as the giant Lacrima Island, which was supposed to crash onto Extalia, suddenly disappeared, as the goal Edolas having infinitive Magic Power was a failure.
But instead of rage and frustration on Thorson´s face, a grin appeared on it. "Well, well, well. It seems that I can use this as an advantage for me." Thorson said to himself. He then got the attention of something appearing on the ground.
In a part of Edolas, surrounded by ruins, a gigantic, egg-shaped construct, held by chains, rose from the ground, as it then began to glow from its openings.
Thorson had his eyes widen, at the same time grinned at what he was seeing. "To think that you would be that desperate. But if you think you can scare me with that, you are so dead wrong. Everyone, whoever they are, or whatever they are using, no one will take what is rightfully mine! So come on, show me what you got!" Thorson thought.
At the same time, where the Exceeds and the Earthlanders, consisting of Natsu, Erza, Mira, Happy, Gil, Gajeel, Ur, Wendy and Carla, they watched as Mystogan stood in the air, on top of his flying, white Legion.
"You´re... Mystogan." Erza said, as the mysterious S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild stood before them, as he didn't wear his signature mask and beanie.
As Natsu and the others were silent as a response, with their eyes widening, Coco held her hands before her face, with tears streaming down her cheeks. "You have returned..." Coco said, as Mira noticed her reaction of seeing the Blue Haired Man on the White Legion.
"Coco, you know him?" Mira asked. "Of course I know him. He is the prince of Edolas Kingdom after all." Coco said, as her words shocked the group.
"What?!" The group shouted all together, having a hard time believing what Coco had just said.
"That is guy is a Prince?!" Natsu shouted. "But that doesn't mean..." Yukino said. "That he is the son of the King." Ur said, gulping as she and the others were now watching intensely over the now revealed to be a Prince. Silence was among them, until Mystogan went to break it.
"Don't worry, I am not your enemy. My real name is Jellal, I took the name Mystogan for not to cause any confusion in your world. Long ago, I cut my ties to my father, Faust, as I couldn't bear him to treat his kingdom, or even another world, as tools. Your enemy Faust is my enemy as well, and those who are working under Faust." Mystogan explained, looking over the situation. (Yes, I'm still referring him as Mystogan to avoid confusion).
"So, you must be the Jellal of Edolas, I presume. That explains a lot." Erza said. "Yes, as the years have passed, Faust went more and more insane with obsession in gathering Magic, I left Edolas through an Anima, hoping to end it." Mystogan explained.
"Through my travels, I encountered a little girl." Mystogan said, turning to the Fairy Tail wizards, referring a certain blue-haired girl. "Wendy, it's been so long." Mystogan said. "Are you the Jellal I met all these years ago?" Wendy asked, holding her hands before her face, and Mystogan smiled a bit.
"Yes. I am the Jellal you met all these years ago. I am sorry I suddenly disappeared from all these years, without saying a word." Mystogan said in an apologizing tone, regretting he suddenly left the girl he had met years ago.
But Wendy had a small, gentle smile on her face.
"No, you did nothing wrong. And besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the Cait Shelter, and have Carla as a friend. Eventually leading me to Fairy Tail." Wendy said smiling.
Mystogan smiled in turned, as Wendy didn't have any ill intent at him for leaving her all those years ago.
"It's good to see you back, old friend." A sudden voice was heard, making everyone in the area to turn and most of them had their eyes widen in shock at which they saw entering.
The large, black-furred Exceed known as Panther Lily, flied into the scene.
"You´re..." Ur said as she recognized the Exceed, remembering fighting Panther Lily earlier.
The large, muscular Exceed guards then surrounded the Queen, aiming their weapons at Panther Lily.
"You are Panther Lily! Weren't you banished and became a fallen years ago?" One of the Guards said.
"Yes, years ago, I was banished by the kingdom, for helping a human child back. And I couldn't bear to think that I came from a country that would even abandon children to die." Panther Lily said, turning to the Queen, in the air by Marl and Lucky, due to only having one wing.
"And that child was you, my Prince." Panther Lily said, before turning to the group of Exceeds and humans. "But now, after witnessing them siding with humans in such desperate times that threatens both homeland and comrades." Panther Lily said.
"But now, it seems that things now have changed..." Panther Lily, but before he could finish his sentence, a sudden blast came and struck him from behind, going through and out of his chest.
Everyone on that scene, Natsu, Erza, Mira, Wendy, Carla, Happy, Mystogan, everyone was on shock at what they were seeing in from of them.
As Panther Lily fell down smoking down, everyone within the area, watched as they saw an incoming horde of Legion, led by Knightwalker, who had her Ten Commandments turning into a bazooka.
"YOUR CRIMES END RIGHT HERE AND NOW, EARTHLANDERS! ESPECIALLY YOU, SCARLET!" Knightwalker shouted, her voice filled with rage as she and horde of soldiers who were riding on the Legions.
"It's Knightwalker!" Natsu said, gritting his teeth. "Even if we managed to save our friends and Extalia, we still have to fight our way through to survive." Erza said, her eyes on Knightwalker.
"Dammit, you will pay for hurting my cat, you bitch." Gajeel said, glaring it at them.
"To think they would appear so soon." Mystogan said, he had his Legion stand before the Mages and the Exceeds, standing before the incoming horde of enemies flying towards them.
"I will do what I can in my power to hold them back! Until then, you need to escape!" Mystogan said, without turning towards them.
"Are you insane?! There is no way we´re abandoning you!" Natsu said. Before Jellal could say anything to deny them, a sudden, loud voice was heard, making everyone in the scene to hear it.
Into the scene, came a gargantuan, mechanical dragon, being made of a grey metal, being tall enough to easily tower a tree, a jaw of sharp teeth, red, glowing eyes, claws and a tail.
It was currently flying in the air, using the jets on its feet and back, as it looked with its red eyes at the scene of allies and enemies gathering.
"Jellal, you truly have fallen yourself low. You are no longer my son. I cannot stand to have the enemy for Edolas future to carry the same blood as me!" Faust said, his voice echoing from within the mechanical body he was currently within.
"What the hell is that?" Natsu said, as he and the others watched the large mechanical armor Faust was in. "No way, that's..." Coco said, as Natsu turned to her. "Coco, you know what that is?" Natsu asked.
"It's the Dorma Anim, an ancient and extremely dangerous artifact, forbidden to be used." Coco said. "But at the looks of it, it seems that geezer is currently in it." Natsu said. "If so, he must be really desperate to use it." Ur said.
"As if I see something like you my father! I have already cut my ties with you, and I'm not gonna let you ruin other worlds to save ours!" Mystogan said.
"Then come at me and show what you´re made of!" Faust said, as then Mystogan had several Magic Rings before him.
"Seven Layered Magic Circle: Holy Rhythm!" Mystogan said, as then seven circles covered in runes appeared above Faust in the Dorma Anim and then a powerful beam was then unleashed, covering the area in a bright light.
Everyone on the scene of both sides covered their eyes from the bright light, before it then quickly died down, and showed that the Dorma Anim were unharmed from the attack.
Natsu, Erza, Mira, Ur, Happy, Carla and the other Exceeds were shocked as Mystogan´s attack had done nothing to the Kings Dragon Armor.
"Impossible, that thing managed to handle a spell from an S-Class wizard?" Mira said. "Just how hard is that thing?!" Natsu said. "But something tells me it wasn't just the endurance of the armor that protected itself from the attack." Erza said as she observed the giant, dragon-like armor.
Mystogan grimaced as he saw his attacks didn't had any effect on Faust, who then proceeded to then unleashed his text.
"You really think you can take me down with something like this?" Faust said, as he then pointed the mechanical arms at the group, with its claws curled up.
"As if let you!" Mystogan said, as he then prepared his next spell. "You really think that will work a second time?!" Faust shouted.
"Even if it doesn't affect you, at least it will buy time." Mystogan said, before turning to the group.
"What are you doing? Run! If you don't, it will be over for you!" Mystogan said. "And leave you here? No way!" Natsu said. "If you stay here, you will only result in become fodder to Faust." Mystogan said.
"Even if you are my enemies, in other words, the enemies of the kingdom, you should listen to him. After all, the moment I put on this suit, there will be no return. As I wear this armor, I shall now show you how determined, as its king, really am!" Faust said.
"And put that infernal Thorson in his place!" Faust thought, and then fired a powerful blast from its claws, sending it directly at Mystogan and his group.
As the beam went towards Mystogan, he then prepared to another spell with his staff.
"Three Layered Magic Circle: Magic Mirror!" Mystogan said, creating three Magic circles, which the blast came and struck three Magic circles. Afterwards, the attacks went backwards to the Dorma Anim, striking it head on, but it received no damage.
"Not even its own attack is able to strike it. You should just give up!" Faust said, as he prepared another attack, this time coming from the jaw of the mechanical dragon.
It fired a beam of powerful energy, going straight towards Mystogan. He then prepared his next spell, creating three Magic rings, with green, yellow and red in the follow, each surrounded by runes, and a eye-like emblem on each on them.
"Three Layered Magic Circle: Eye of Protection!" Mystogan said as the roar-like blast struck the front, red circle. Once it did so, it then began to break, hitting the second, yellow circle.
As it struck the second circle, it broke faster, and before it strucked the final, green circle, its powerful explosion send Mystogan flying away, at a great speed.
"JELLAL!" The group of Earthlanders, with Wendy and Erza shouting louder than them, and Exceeds shouted in horror, all while Faust watched in amusement.
"Quick, we need to go catch him fast!" Wendy said, before then seeing a large explosion were seen on the ground far below them.
"Dammit, that old bastard sent him too fast!" Natsu said in anger. "You think he will be alright?" Wendy asked. "Mystogan is an S-Class wizard of our guild. I doubt that would make it that end of him." Erza said.
"You´re next, Exceeds!" Faust said and then turned to the soldiers led by Knightwalker.
"Soldiers! Turn these Exceeds into Lacrima! Make sure that no one escapes!" Faust ordered, which the soldiers as they all then prepared to fire the beams.
Remembering earlier when the Kingdom turned a group of Exceeds led by Nichiya earlier, with Ur then turning to the group of Exceeds, as Shagotte who was still held by Marl and Lucky.
"Everyone! Run! If you are struck by the beams, you will turn into Lacrima! You need to escape now!" Ur shouted, but it was too late as one of them beams fire, a turning a group of Exceeds into cat-shaped Lacrima.
Panic and horror spread among the Exceeds, as they all began to fly away in hopes to escape.
"And as for the Earthlanders..." Faust said, turning to the group of Natsu, Erza, Mira, Ur and Wendy, as well Carla and Happy.
"I shall make sure to bring you all a proper execution, as a start for the new and glorious Age of Edolas!" Faust declared.
"Are you blind?! We have already saved Extalia, and freed our friends from the Lacrima you put them in!" Natsu said. "You are the blind ones here, boy! Now that the Exceeds are to be turned into Lacrima, the Kingdom won't have any enemies anymore!" Faust said, as his soldiers turned every Exceed they came across with into Lacrimas.
"And even if you ruined this attempt, I can always do it all over! I can even do it faster with the Exceeds out of the way!" Faust said. Knightwalker, on her Legion, flied her to the King in the large, mechanical dragon, one of her knees down in a bowing position.
"Your Majesty, I ask humbly of fighting Scarlet. I need to take her down, for the sake of my pride." Knightwalker said.
"Permission granted." Faust said, his eyes turning to the group again. "As of now, I shall execute the rest of these imbeciles on the spot, before the cause any more problems to my, no this entire Nations future!" Faust said, charging towards the group, intent to end their lives.
With Lucy, Layla and Yukino, they were currently fighting Yukino's Edolas Counterpart: Flakes. At their sides, they had summoned Taurus, Aries and Neptune, to fight alongside their masters.
They had earlier noticed the bright explosion that brightened the sky, which then showed that the Lacrima had disappeared from the sky, but Extalia was still intact.
They then heard from some soldiers that were watching the event from a telescope, announcing that their plan had failed.
Hearing it was a delight for Lucy, Yukino and Layla, meaning that their friends must have been saved from their demise. Flakes simply remained calm and stoic.
"Even if your friends are saved, your fates are already decided." Flakes said, as the ring on her finger glowed. "Didn't you see it just now? Your plan failed! The Lacrima Island didn't destroy the Exceeds!" Lucy said. "The plan that was originally that of Faust, and was going to be taken over by Thorson-sama. But knowing Thorson-sama, he is sure to due the process all over again, this time faster and better. And without you interfering." Flakes said.
"Are you really that dedicated to that Thorson fellow?" Layla asked, and Flakes' eyes became shadowed.
"Are you asking me? You, a Earthlander who haven't been living here to understand what pain and suffering this world have been enduring through the years?!" Flakes said, as her eyes were filled with anger and tears. "As if you could understand that!" Flakes said, as she then pointed her glowing hand towards the group of Lucy, Layla and Yukino.
"Be careful, she is about to blast us again with her Magic." Layla said, as Lucy and Yukino prepared themselves for what was to come next.
Before Flakes, a massive torrent of ice was sent at them, taking the form of a large serpent with sharp teeth and red eyes, despite its size, went at them at great speed.
"Take this! Frost Art: Ice Serpent Barrage!" Flakes said, as the torrent of ice went to the trio of Celestial Spirit wizards and their Celestial Spirits.
"Don't woooorry, I got this!" Taurus said, as he swung his axe at the giant ice serpent coming towards the group. As the bull man approached the ice snake, his axe went in the ice serpent's mouth, and then to cut it horizontally in half, from its mouth to the end of its tail.
Once the giant ice serpent was cut in half, the two pieces of disintegrated into ice dust before they even could hit the ground.
But Flakes was far from over in terms of tricks in her sleeves. She then pointed her hand towards them again, glowing once again.
"Don't even think I'm done yet! Frost Art: Ice Skull Storm!" Flakes said, as a great number of ice skulls came flying towards the group.
"I'm very sorry, but I´ll handle this!" Aries said, placing her hand on the ground. "Wool Wall!" Aries said, as she made a tall wall of pink wool rise between Lucy, Layla, Yukino and the Spirit, and the ice skulls.
As the skulls of ice struck the wall of Pink Wool, due to the immense softness, the ice skulls sank into the wool as if was quicksand and eventually the ice skulls sank in the wool completely.
"I'm sorry, but I am not done yet! Wool Reflect!" Aries said, as then the ice skulls were sent right back at Flakes!
However, she remained unfazed, as she then placed her hand on the ground with her hand having her glowing ring. Before the ice skulls could hit her, the dissolved in midair into nothing, shocking Lucy, Layla and Yukino.
"Did you see that? The ice skulls disappeared like they were erased." Lucy said. "It must be that she can remotely control her spells to be dispelled and turned back on again." Layla said.
"If that´s the case, how about this?!" Neptune pointed his trident at her and unleashed a sending a stream of water at her. But Flakes, without any hesitation, went to freeze the stream of water, turning into a long, sharp pillar of ice, shattering it into pieces.
A cloud of ice covered the area, as Taurus went to charge at her with his axe. Flakes managed to make a round shield of ice to protect herself from the attack.
"I see. They send an attack of water at me, knowing that I could freeze it in an instant, which would shatter on impact, and then use a cloud as a distraction for the enemy to gain an advantage." Flakes thought, as she then jumped away from the large bull-man with the axe, her ice shield dispersing.
She held her hand with her ring before her enemy. "But don't you think that will be enough to stop me." Flakes thought, her ring glowing blue once again.
"But I won't let them even think they have beaten me with something like that!" Flakes thought in determination, preparing her next spell.
At her sides, she created a pair of ice knights in spiked armor, one using a lance while the other a sword, both knights of ice were using shields.
"Frost Art: Cold Knights!" Flakes said as the ice knight went to charge at the axe-wielding bull-man. As he swung his axe at them, as the knight with the sword blocked the axe with its shield, while the ice knight with the lance went to thrust it at the bull man, as Taurus managed to dodge it before it could it hit by jumping away.
At the same time, the trio of Celestial Spirit Mages, Lucy, Layla and Yukino, watched what was happening before them.
"The shield of that ice knight didn't break." Yukino said. "Despite that large ice snake and ice pillar was broken down easily." Lucy said. "Meaning that these two ice knights must have more Magic Power than the previous spells." Layla said.
"Meaning she must spent more Magic to make these ice knights more durable, but at the same using more and more of her Magic." Yukino said. "Meaning if we can have her use more of her spells, we may tire her out eventually." Lucy said. "Taurus, turn back to the Celestial Spirit!" Lucy ordered, as holding his Key as the Bull Man returned to the Celestial Spirit World.
"That Spirit disappeared? Did my Cold Knights kill the bull-man? No, I didn't see or even tell the Cold Knights to lay the finishing blow, and I doubt the Spirit could be that weak, as the enemy wouldn't have used it if it was weak." Flakes thought.
"Let's hope they haven't been catching up to the limits of my Frost Art. If so, I need to finish them as soon as possible." Flakes thought.
Lucy then took out one of her other Keys, preparing to use them. "Alright, for the next Key, I won't choose Aquarius, as from I have seen, she can probably freeze her water before it can touch her." Lucy thought, searching after a Key, but then another barrage of sharp ice spikes came at her.
"I won't allow you!" Flakes said, as the ice spikes went flying towards her, but were soon blocked by a wall of wool coming before her.
"I got your back, Lucy-sama!" Yukino said, with Aries standing beside her. "Thanks Yukino!" Lucy thanked. "You better stand back for a bit." Layla said, before turning to Yukino. "You too, Yukino. She is a lot tougher than we thought. She is not someone to underestimate." Layla said, turning towards Yukino´s counterpart.
"We just fought the Golden Mjölnir, spending a lot of our Magic Power back then. For a short time, she has proven quite an opponent, as we need to take her down as soon as possible." Layla thought, watching as Flakes prepared her next move.
"Whatever you are planning on doing next, I won't allow it. Mark on it as my words as the Lieutenant of the 1st War Magic Division." Flakes said, determined to take down the trio of enemies before, even if one of them were her counterpart.
"Lucy, Yukino. I think I have a plan to take her down, but I need you listen to this carefully. Because we only have one shot at this." Layla said, as Lucy and Yukino gulped, hoping what Layla for plan, it would be enough to take Flakes down.
At the same time, where our heroes were battling Faust in his Dorma Anim Armor, where he sent attack after attack on the heroes.
Faust fired a barrage of missiles from his Dragon-like Armor, and before they could strike them, Ur made a large shield of ice to protect themselves from it.
A big explosion followed soon after, but the impact managed to send the group of Natsu, carried by Happy, Wendy, carried by Carla, Ur and Gajeel, who rode on the Legion with Coco steering it, and Mira, who used her Satan Soul to fly in the air.
"Dammit, is there no end to his attacks?!" Ur said, while Natsu prepared his next attack. "Abyss Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu said, sending a beam of darkness at the Dorma Anim, as a sphere of energy surrounding it. But even if it didn't damage it, went different for Faust´s Dragon Armor.
"I didn't absorb the Magic?!" Faust thought, as they watched Dragon Slayer in the air, carried by the Blue Exceed.
"It's gotta have to do something with their Magic." Faust thought, seeing the other two Dragon Slayers, Gajeel and Wendy.
"Iron Dragon´s Club!" Gajeel said, who was on the Exceed rode by Coco, extending his fist at the Dorma Anim, only for it to be blocked by the right claw of the robot dragon.
"Sky Dragon´s Roar!" Wendy said, sending a powerful torrent of air at the Dorma Armin, which barely did anything to it.
"I will make you and that bitch regret they ever laid a hand on my cat!" Gajeel said in rage.
"I better do something them as well. Judging from what the moves they have been using against me, they must use the same Magic as that pink-haired boy." Faust thought, before then preparing another roar-like blast from the mouth of the Dorma Anim.
"Watch out, he is about to send another blast!" Ur said, as Natsu then prepared his next move.
"I got this everyone! Dark-Make: Night Sphere!" Natsu said, as a sphere that covered the group, both being on the Legion and by the Exceeds.
"What´s happening now?!" Coco said, as they were inside the sphere of darkness.
"Hold still, the blast should protect us from the attack." Natsu said. But as the blast came, although it protected from the attack, it shook and caused the Legion that Coco rode to panic.
"Easy there buddy! Easy!" Coco said as she tried to calm it down, but soon enough, the sphere began to dissolve.
"The sphere is dispersing!" Natsu said, pointing out the disappearing dark sphere, and once it died down, it showed that the Dorma Anim was already prepared for another strike.
"Dammit, this fast?!" Natsu said, creating another shield of his Dark-Make, this time taking the form of a giant, flat disc, and once the beam struck it, it caused a shockwave, causing the group to be sent at different directions.
"Wendy! Gajeel! Happy! Carla!" Natsu said, as they were sent away from the Exceeds Carla and Happy. "Dammit!" Gajeel said as he and Wendy were sent flying away. "Carla!" Wendy screamed. "Wendy!" Carla shouted back, trying to fly towards her, only for her to be stopped as a barrage of missiles where sent to her and the allies around her.
"Not on my watch!" Faust declared, as those in the area went to dodge the missiles coming for them. "Natsu!" Happy screamed, as he saw his buddy along with Gajeel and Wendy in the air, as then the Dorma Anim went to crash into the trio of Dragon Slayer. The Dorma Anim went to strike them with its claw, sending them at great speed flying crashing down to the ground.
"NATSU!" Happy screamed.
"WENDY!" Carla screamed.
"Dammit, that old man is tough." Ur said, as then Faust in his Dorma Anim turned to towards them. "You´re next, ice woman!" Faust said, as he went towards Ur and Coco on the Legion rode by Coco.
Ur proceeded stand on front of the Legion, and then made another shield of ice to stop the attack, but the attack managed to shatter the ice, knocking the Legion and Coco was on back, and Ur was sent away.
"Dammit!" Ur said, she was then caught by Mira. "I got you!" Mira said. "Thank you." Ur said, but then suddenly the Dorma Anim was sent a kick that were aimed right at the two women, sending them straight away in a great speed.
"MIRA! UR!" Happy screamed. "Dammit, one after another." Carla said then looked at the direction where Wendy, Natsu and Gajeel were sent at. "Wendy, Natsu, Gajeel. Please be safe." Carla thought.
With the Exceeds, Shagotte, who was carried by Lucky and Marl, watched at the scene.
"Things really are turning worse by the minute." A female orange Exceed said. "I know. But we cannot let that sink us into despair. Because this battle, will decide not only the fate of our species, but the entire fate of Edolas as well." Shagotte said.
In the Dorma Anim Armor, Faust turned to the group of Exceeds, as he then began to charge towards them.
"And now you!" Faust said, much to the horror of the Exceeds, but before he could reach them, a sudden bolt of lightning came and struck the Dorma Anim in the neck.
"What?!" Faust said, before he and those around in the area, widened their eyes in shock in seeing who it was who attacked the Dorma Anim.
Grinning, Thorson stood was in the air wearing the Helmod Armor, holding his Blitz Hammer in one hand, while having his Donner Shield in his other hand.
"Well, well, well. It seems I got right into the party." Thorson said, and Faust glared at him in return.
"Thorson..." Faust said, anger deep within his voice. "To think that you would be that desperate to use that Armor. Even I wouldn't use something dangerous as that." Thorson said.
"A traitor like you shouldn't tell what's right and wrong to a king. Since I am the king, I am the only one who can use it." Faust said.
"That's sad to hear. Then let's see if you are so tough without it." Thorson said. "Watch your tongue! You should know that this Armor allows the user to absorb Magic, making your moves useless to me!" Faust said, charging towards Thorson.
But just as Faust before him, Thorson dove beneath the Dorma Anim and then used his Blitz Hammer to then smash into his chest.
The impact of it caused a small shockwave, which then sent the Dorma Anim with the King in it to then be sent away.
"I know. And you should know that the Helmod Armor increased the user's psychical power and speed, including the weapons the user is holding if they are of lightning element." Thorson said.
A group of Exceeds then came flying towards him, cheering in joy as Thorson was fighting Faust.
Coco watched in horror, shouting towards the group of happy Exceeds, who thought Thorson was gonna save them, but didn't know what he really was gonna do.
"NO WAIT!" Coco shouted, but it didn't reach the Exceeds ear.
Among them were a yellow Exceed with blue eyes and freckles, wearing brown pants, black shoes, a white shirt and a red tie, went fly before Thorson, who were smiling with hope.
"Thank you! You have saved us!" The Yellow Exceed said, cheering along with the other Exceeds.
"Oh, I wouldn't say saved..." Thorson said with a scary smile on his face, putting his hand before the Yellow Exceeds face. "...more like under new management!" Thorson said, flicking the Yellow Exceed away.
Thorson then looked at the terrified Exceeds, as his Blitz Hammer then began to sparkle with electricity. "Who´s next?" Thorson said in a scary tone, causing the Exceeds to panic in fear to then fly away in fear.
Then, the Dorma Anim flied towards Thorson, preparing its next strike.
"Don't get cocky just because you landed a blow on me, Thorson!" Faust said in rage in the giant armor.
"Bring it on, old man. Bring it on! Show me what you got!" Thorson said, charging his hammer to smack at the large claw of the Dorma Anim.
With Ur and Mira, they were sent flying in the air, until a line of five circles were formed behind them. As the two women went through them, their falling speed went slower and slower, until they both stopped in mid-air.
"What?" Mira said confusion, holding Ur as they then saw Mystogan on the ground. "I managed to use my Three-Layered Circle: Slowdown Impact, to prevent the fall from harming you." Mystogan said. "Thank you." Ur said, as Mira went to fly while holding Ur, to then put her down once they were on the ground.
"But it's too early for thanks. As of now, there are things that need to be done." Mystogan said, as they saw Faust, who used the Dorma Anim to fight Thorson in the sky.
"They are fighting each other." Mira said. "Yes, but whoever wins, even if one of them are taken down, both are still our enemies." Mystogan said. "But there is also the chance that with them being a tie, we still have two problems to worry about." Ur said, watching the scene with Mira and Mystogan, they before turning the Blue Haired Man. "But knowing Natsu, I am sure things will be pulled into our way." Ur said.
"I hope so as well." Mystogan said. "But even if we win this fight, things won't go our way if we don't follow the plan I have made." Mystogan thought, looking at a different direction in the sky. "Panther Lily, where ever you are, please be safe." Mystogan thought.
At the same time, with the three Dragon Slayers, Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy, were flying in the sky as they were sent away by Faust in his Dorma Anim Armor.
They came to a scene of ancient ruins, where Natsu then proceeded to turn around then use his Dark-Make Magic.
"Everyone, stay close to me! Dark-Make: Trampoline!" Natsu said, as a large blanket of darkness was created, and then tied to a pair of tower ruins, which caught Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel.
They then began to slowly sink to the ground, where they stood up and looked around.
"A spell that creates a trampoline? Never thought I'd see the day you do something that weird, Void Knight." Gajeel said. "Are you gonna insult me or thank me for saving you?!" Natsu said, a tick mark on his head.
"Yeah, sorry. Thanks for saving our asses there." Gajeel said, scratching his head in annoyance. "As much I want thank Natsu for saving us, there are more serious problem before us." Wendy said, as she looked up in the sky. Natsu and Gajeel did so as well, as they saw Thorson fighting Faust. "That Thorson bastard is fighting the old man." Natsu said. "That´s Laxus´ Edolas counterpart? He looks as much of an asshole as our Laxus." Gajeel said.
"Trust me; he is way worse than our Laxus was." Natsu said. "Then it should be obvious he isn't on our side." Gajeel said. "I hope Lucy-san, Yukino-san and Layla-san are alright." Wendy said.
"I hope so too Wendy. I hope so too." Natsu thought, still looking up at the sky with his fellow Dragon Slayers.
Back with Lucy, Yukino and Layla vs Flakes...
"Whatever you are planning, taking me down won't be that easy!" Flakes declared as a torrent of ice spikes went to the group.
The group went on to dodge the ice spikes coming at them, as a large ice spike went straight at Yukino before she was able to react.
"Yukino-san, watch out!" Aries said, as she jumped before her master, taking the hit! "ARIES-SAMA!" Yukino screamed, as Aries was hit in the abdomen, causing her to dissolve and return to her home world.
"I'm sorry for not being able to aid you." Aries said, as she then completely dissolved and returned to her home world.
Yukino then turned to her counterpart with a look full of anger in her eyes, while Flakes remained stoic. "You should just surrender, the more you fight, the worse your punishment will become." Flakes said.
"I cannot believe that my counterpart would kill the Celestial Spirits of both mine and my friends, while having the same face as me of a killer." Yukino said.
"You are only desperate as I take down your tools more than you use them on me." Flakes said. "DONT EVER CALL CELESTIAL SPIRITS TOOLS!" Lucy screamed, as she then to summon another Spirit, but Layla her hand before her daughter, stopping her from doing anything rash.
"Calm down, Lucy. That's what she wants you to do." Layla said, turning to Flakes. "As we just took down the Golden Mjölnir, we need to be more careful with her." Layla said. "Then what do you suggest we should do, Layla-sama?" Yukino asked.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Layla said. However, she could explain it; Flakes went to do her next attack, creating a barrage of several ice pillars with sharp ends, to then send at them.
They all came crashing down as clouds of dust appeared as Flakes remained stoic, until it settled down to then see them nowhere in sight.
"Where could they have gone..." Flakes said, before then ground began to break, as Neptune in his giant form grows into size.
As he grows, the floor began to break, as his tentacles were roaming on the floor.
Flakes jumped back, as her ring glows blue once again as she made a giant bird of ice for her to fly on.
"If you think that size will make things easier for you, then you are wrong." Flakes said, seeing Layla standing on the right shoulder of Neptune.
"But that´s strange. Where did the other two go?" Flakes thought, noticing neither Lucy nor Yukino are seen nowhere.
But then, she saw that Yukino and Lucy, alongside Sagittarius, were currently flying on Pisces, with Lucy and Sagittarius on the son, while Yukino was on the mother.
The man in the horse-suit began to shot a barrage of arrows at Flakes, who had her ice bird fly in the sky dodge the attacks.
The mother fish then tried to ram into Flakes, but she had her ice bird to be dissolved into ice dust, to then create a sword of ice then tried to slash her counterpart when the latter was in the air.
But Sagittarius managed to send an arrow before Flakes could strike Yukino with it, as she managed to escape riding on the mother fish.
Neptune then proceeded to slam his hands down at the ground, trying to strike Flakes, who dissolved her ice sword, and then created a giant, dome shaped shield of ice, as Neptune then tried to strike Flakes with his tentacles.
But Flakes managed to escape from them as she down to the ground, with the shield soon to be dissolved. Neptune saw a chance as he went to make another barrage with his tentacles, but Flakes created a pair of saber-like swords with curved blades, to then slash the tentacles coming at her into pieces.
Neptune roared in pain as his tentacles were cut, as Layla held onto him steady.
"Neptune!" Layla said. "Dammit, I didn't expect this little girl to be this tough." Neptune said. "But I'm not gonna fall that easily. As your Celestial Spirit, I will make sure I won't fall here!" Neptune said in determination, as he was not gonna fall down easily.
At the same time, Sagittarius went to shot more arrows at Flakes, for her to countered by her dual swords, much to the Chagrin for Lucy, Layla, and Yukino. "Her skills are on a different level than what we thought!" Layla thought. "But then, she isn't the Lieutenant of Laxus Squad for nothing. Even if she lack in terms of brute strength, it's made up with her skills, strategies and swordsmanship. Even if they aren't on par with Erza´s, they are something to be reckoned with." Layla thought.
"Then, Either Lucy, Yukino or I am on a level to be considered as swordsmen like Erza, or even Flakes." Layla thought. "Think, Layla! She must have a weak point, a pattern in her attacks! Where does all her attack have in common?!" Layla thought, remembering when Flakes made her spells, which were dissolved between.
"Wait, that might be it! I must tell Lucy and Yukino, but without alerting the enemy! I think might know of a way." Layla thought, before she then whispered into Neptune´s large ear.
As Flakes stood on the broken ground, with her counterpart and Lucy trying to attack her. However, Flakes soon enough had her dual swords disappear as she then began to create a circle of ice spears around herself, which she prepared to fire at the two.
"Take this! Frost Art: Ice Spear Circle!" Flakes said as the ice spears went towards her enemies, striking whatever came in her path, including Sagittarius and Pisces.
"Sagittarius!" Lucy screamed.
"Pisces-sama!" Yukino said, as she and Lucy fell down to the ground, as the wwo giant fishes and the horse-man fell down to the ground.
"I apologize for my weakness..." Sagittarius said, as he and Pisces dissolved and returned to their homeworld.
Soon enough, before either of Lucy or Yukino could muster another word; Flakes went on to create another barrage of spears.
"This time I won't miss!" Flakes said, as the ice spears went straight towards Lucy and Yukino, and then Neptunes´s tentacles in the way and blocked them.
"Neptune!" Lucy and Yukino screamed at the same time, Neptune´s tentacles were bleeding from the swords.
However, his tentacles soon went to grab Lucy and Yukino, pulling them up to his shoulders were Layla were currently on.
"Lucy, Yukino. Listen carefully. I may have found out a plan to take her down, but we have only one chance at this. If we mess this up, we may not have another shot at her." Layla said. "It's worth a shot. What do you have in plan, Mom?" Lucy asked her mother.
As Layla went to explain what she had in mind, at the same time, were Flakes stood on her ground, watching the trio speak on Neptune´s shoulders.
Without saying words, she then prepared to make a large spear of ice, preparing to shot towards the group.
"As of now, they are making a strategy, but sadly they picked the wrong time to make one." Flakes thought.
"Frost Art: Cold Spear!" Flakes said, sending the giant ice spear towards the group, but Neptune managed to grab the spear before it could hit them.
"You thought I wouldn't be able to stop that attack?" Neptune said.
"Its size isn't the only thing that is dangerous about this attack." Flakes said, as then the gigantic spear began to spread onto Neptune's arm!
"WHAT?!" A shocked Neptune said, as he tried to throw the ice spear off, but it was stuck on his arms, beginning to spread to his shoulders.
"Layla! Lucy! Yukino! Get off before the ice spreads to you!" Neptune said, as the trio of Celestial Spirit wizards immediately jumped off, as they didn't have a choice in doing so.
As the ice spread through Neptune´s body it soon began to shatter into pieces, which then quickly began to shatter into millions of tiny dust pieces.
"NEPTUNE!" All three of the women screamed, which Neptune turned to them with weak smile. "Keep fighting, I know you can do it. After all, you didn't come here for nothing, and you let it end here." Neptune said, as he returned to the Celestial Spirit World.
Flakes remained stoic as the trios of her enemies were in the sky, and prepared her next spell.
"Frost Art: Cold Arrows!" Flakes said, as several arrows were made around her, which she then proceeded to send them in a rapid formation.
"Everyone, split up! She will have a harder time to hit us if we split up!" Layla said, which Lucy and Yukino agreed, before the trio then to place their feet at each other, to then kick away at great speed to dodge the ice arrows coming at them.
They flied at different directions, as Flakes remained stoic as she prepared her next spell, but before she could so, Lucy had taken out in one of her Keys, and summoned one of her Celestial Spirits, being Aquarius.
"This better not take too long, or else you are gonna regret, brat!" The blue-haired Mermaid said. "Don't worry, it will be over pretty quickly!" Lucy said. "What is gonna be over soon is your lives!" Flakes said, and Aquarius then raised her urn, with spiral water coming out, as it went straight towards Flakes.
"Have you learned nothing?! I freeze everything that comes across me, whatever you throw at me!" Flakes said, as she froze the stream of water, turning into a pillar of ice.
"And you are next!" Flakes said, before then the gravity around her began to loosen up, lifting her up into midair.
"What´s happening?! Why I am floating?!" Flakes said, as she then noticed that the ice pillar was floating in the sky as well. Flakes then turned to see her countertpart had summoned Libra, who kept her in the air.
"Dammit, one thing after another!" Flakes said, as she prepared to make her next Spell, but to her shock, it didn't do anything.
"What's going on? Why can't I...?" Flakes said confused, but then noticed that the ice pillar before was still in the air.
"You thought I wouldn't notice, did you?" Layla said, keeping her sword in her hand. "Every time you either freeze or create ice, you dispel it before starting with the next. Meaning that you can only use one spell per time." Layla explained, as Flakes then turned to see Aquarius held her hand before her.
"My element is water, which I control, whatever it's frozen or not." Aquarius said.
"Dammit!" Flakes said, struggling in air as she had her eyes widen in horror of seeing Layla charging at her with her Aile Du Ciel Sword in her hand.
"Originally, we planned to have Neptune use his WaterMagic, but since her Ice Magic froze his entire body faster than we could have imagined, we had to switch to Lucy. I am glad my daughter managed to realize it fast enough." Layla thought, before then slashing her, as a wind shaped air slash wave appeared on Flakes´ chest.
"Cruz Azul! (Spanish for Water Cross)" Layla said, slashing Flakes in her chest as blood came out in the air, with blood coming out from her mouth her as well.
"No way... I, the lieutenant of the 1st Magic War Division, have been defeated...?" Flakes thought, as she fell on her knees on the ground, before she continued to fall down.
"I haven't become any stronger at all... what did I do wrong...?" Flakes thought, slowly losing consciousness. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise, Sorano-nee-sama." Flakes said, fainting from her injuries, as she was on the ground defeated.
Lucy, Yukino and Layla, along with the Celestial Spirit they summoned, Aquarius and Libra stood around Flakes.
"I let this go past, as it actually got short." Aquarius said, as she returned to the Celestial Spirit world alongside Libra. "But just remember, you better call me at a better time next time." Aquarius said with a threatening tone.
"Yes, yes, I will." Lucy said as she sweat dropped. "Thank you for work, Libra-sama." Yukino thanked, as Libra responded with a silent bow.
Once the two female Celestial Spirits had returned to their home world, Layla went to speak next.
"But we better make a move on. We need to what to do next, so let's not waste anymore time here." Layla said, as Lucy and Yukino nodded.
At the same time...
Erza, in her Black Wing Armor, clashed with her dual swords against Knightwalker, who used Ten Commandments Spear to strike back against her counterpart from Earthland.
"Give it up, Scarlet! Whatever you will do, Edolas will have the victory of this battle!" Knightwalker said. "Didn't you already lose the Lacrima? Wasn't that enough to prove your loss?" Erza said.
"We can always start over! No matter how long it takes, the next time will be the complete success for Edolas!" Knightwalker said, stabbing repeatedly with her spear at Erza, who dodged it with ease.
"But unlike now, you or your comrades won't be here to your help, with them being already dead!" Knightwalker said. "You sound pretty confident despite one of your own having betrayed you and your king." Erza said.
"As if that happens again, and if someone would betray the entire Edolas Kingdom, we'll have Thorson´s execution as an example of what happens to traitors!" Knightwalker said.
"And you are really gonna bring a new future, through brutality and bloodshed?!" Erza said. "And you think you know any better answer?! If so, then don't use words, and instead use your blades!" Knightwalker said.
"As much I hate to say it, but you have a point. You may carry the appearance, but not the heart and soul I possess; I cannot come through you with words alone, but with violence as well!" Erza said.
"I won't back down, or be taken down on his battle! I mark on this as a wizard of Fairy Tail!" Erza said. "Then, I mark on this as Captain of the 2nd Magic War Division of the Edolas Royal Army!" Knightwalker said, as they clashed with their weapons against.
The two redheaded warriors screamed, which echoed through the sky.
At the same time, with Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy, they stood in the ruins, watching the battle occur in the sky.
"Damn, things sure got more intense than before." Gajeel said. "I agree with you there, Gajeel-san. With things like Thorson fighting Faust, and Erza fighting Knightwalker, who knows what will happen next." Wendy said, before looking down the ground. "Please be safe, Lucy-san, Yukino-san, Layla-san." Wendy said in a low, worried tone.
"Don't sweat it Wendy. I know those three will be fine." Natsu said with a smile, making Wendy smile as well.
"As much I hate to break your little fun, it seems more trouble are on the way." Gajeel said, which Natsu and Wendy then turned to see an army of Edolas soldiers heading towards them.
"Dammit, more soldiers coming." Gajeel said. "Dammit, one thing after another." Natsu said.
With the army, the leader of the group rode on a Legion while raising his sword in the air.
"ONWARD! FOR THE GLORY OF EDOLAS, WE SHALL MAKE SURE TO BRING JUSTICE TO THE EARTHLANDERS FOR THREATENING OUR PEACE!" The Squad Leader shouted, with the soldiers behind shouting out in response as well.
But then suddenly, a Magic Blast came and struck the Leader right in the face, sending him off his Legion he was riding.
The soldiers stopped on their tracks as they looked in shock, confused of what just happened.
"W-what the hell was that?!" One of the soldiers said in shock, as another one noticed something in the distance.
"L-LOOK!" The soldier said, as he and others turned to see what was coming at them.
In the horizon, came none other than the Fairy Tail guild of Edolas, charging towards them with different kinds of weapons, rushing towards the Edolas Soldiers, shouting out loudly.
"T-they´re..." A shocked solider said, as another solider took him over. "THEY`RE THE FAIRY TAIL GUILD!" The soldier shouted.
"No way! Why the hell are they here?!" Another soldier said in confusion, before the Squad Leader, burnt black from the attack, began to speak.
"WHO CARES?! THEY ARE A GROUP OF WANTED CRIMINALS! OF COURSE, THEY WOULD COME HERE AND TAKE OVER THE CRIMINALS!" The Squad Leader said as brought out his sword and raised it in the air.
"Take down these criminal scums, in the name of...!" The Squad Leader, but was cut off as he struck by another blast of Magic, coming from the staff that Edolas Lisanna was using.
"You b-bitch!" The soldiers then came charging at her, as then the Edolas Counterparts of Levy, Jet and Droy went before her as they began to use their respective weapon to fight the soldiers.
"Lisanna! Stay back! I´ll handle them!" Edolas Levy said. "You handle them? What about us?" Edolas Jet complained. "Yeah, you gonna take all the credit for yourself?!" Edolas Droy said.
"Can you complain for two seconds, and focus on what is important right now?!" Ashley said, kicking a soldier right in the face.
"Hey, you were the one who talked us into this, so don't complain, you cow!" Edolas Levy said, while Ashley was holding a soldier in a head lock. Suprisingly, Ashley didn't say anything back.
"Years ago, I lost my mother and my home. I always thought there would be no hope left, until they arrived. They showed you need to do it yourself, if I wanted to change the world." Ashley thought, seeing the battle field around around her.
"Lisanna!" Edolas Elfman said to his sister, who was holding a club, as he and Edolas Mirajane, who used a spear, were alongside their sister. "Don't worry, we got your back!" Edolas Mirajane said, as Lisanna smiled as a response, before she looked at the scene.
"Natsu, please stay safe..." Edolas Lisanna thought, before she continued to fight the Edolas soldiers alongside her guild members.
At the same time, Thorson blocked another roar blast from the Dorma Anim, using his Donner shield. Thorson grit his teeth as he slowly pushed back by the blast, but managed to reflect it right up into the sky, shooting it right to space.
Faust then took the opportunity to then rush towards him, raising the Dorma Anim´s Claw in the air, where he then proceeded to then smash Thorson, but he was faster, using his Blitz Hammer to counter the claw strike coming at him, as clash of force were struggling between Thorson and Faust in the Dorma Anim Armor.
Soon enough, they deflected, as then Faust prepared to send another barrage of missiles at Thorson, who used his shield to block them, leaving him unharmed.
"You are a fool to become a traitor to the Edolas Kingdom. Do you have any idea how that will reflect on your status, whatever you succeed or fail?!" Faust said.
"You are the one talking about status! You really think that this world admires you just because you promise them time to time Eternal Magic, when all you do is sitting on your old ass all day, and have the people suffer!" Thorson said, and Faust grits his teeth in response.
"You have made the people weak with your empty promises, and look at what that leads you!" Thorson said, making Faust´s anger rise.
"But no longer! Once I take you down, I will no allow anymore weaklings to exist in Edolas anymore!" Thorson said.
"Silence!" Faust shouted.
"And you should that it's because you this world in such as state, all because you are weak!" Thorson said.
"I said silence!" Faust said, as he then shot another blast of nagic from the Dorma Anim at him, only for Thorson to block it with his Donner shield.
"Is that it? This is the power of the forbidden artifact known as the Dorma Anim? What a joke!" Thorson said, using the speed of the Helmod Armor, to appear before Faust could notice, sending several blasts of lightning from his hammer.
"Oh trust me, I have so much more to show you, Thorson!" Faust said, as then a Magic Seal appeared before the jaws of the Dorma Anim, sending a powerful blast of magic at him.
As the blast of Magic came right at him, Thorson then proceeded to fly up to dodge it, as he then pointed his hammer at Faust.
"Take this! Thunderstorm Bolt!" Thorson said, as a blast of Lightning Magic went straight towards him in the form of a beam, hitting the Dorma Anim head on as Faust couldn't dodge it.
But it didn't leave any damage, as Faust in the giant mechanical armor was unscratched.
"You fool! You really think an attack like that could be able to strike me? This Armor is made from of a special kind of alloy that can nullify all kinds of Magics! Whatever Magic you throw at me, it will do no harm!" Faust boasted, but then Thorson appeared right before him, his Blitz Hammer in his hand.
"Then how about this, you old bastard?!" Thorson said, as he then smashed his hammer right at the Dorma Anim´s face!
Before Faust could react, Thorson began to repeatedly smash his hammer at the Dorma Anim, giving Faust no time to react.
Thorson grinned as he thought he had gained the upper hand in this battle. But then suddenly, Faust spinned the Dorma Anim´s in a complete 360 turn, to then smash Thorson away with its tail!
"ENOUGH!" Faust roared, sending Thorson away, then proceed to fire another Roar Blast from the jaws of the Dorma Anim, this time at a point blank rage.
"Now, face the consequences of betraying your own king!" Faust said, before firing a powerful beam at Thorson, hitting him head on!
Thorson then fell on the ground at great speed, as Faust had a satisfied expression on his face.
"Now that´s take care of, let's handle the rest, shall we?" Faust said, before flying down to his next targets.
With Ur, Mira and Mystogan, they were all watching as the battles occurred with the Edolas Soldiers chasing and turning the Exceeds into Lacrimas in the sky, while on the ground the Edolas Soldiers were fighting the Edolas Fairy Tail wizards.
"This has become quite the battlefield." Mira said. "Yes, as our actions truly have affected this world to this point." Mystogan, as Ur frowned in shame.
"To think we did this to save our friends, but at the same time turned a world into chaos." Ur said, and Mystogan put a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't feel guilty about this. Sooner or later, this world needed a change, both for the good of our world and your own. But don't worry, once this is all over, war will be a thing of the past." Mystogan said, as Ur was to speak, but Mystogan cut her off.
"I know. I too didn't want this world to happen to this mess, as I too want this battle to soon. But what we should do now is what we can do." Mystogan said.
And then, a sudden explosion appeared behind the trio, as they were sent away flying, before landing on the ground, making a large crater with smoke coming out.
"What was that?!" Ur said. "Or rather, who was that." Mira said, as she and the others saw a familiar figure appearing.
Out of the crater, was Thorson who floated in the air using the Helmod Armor, a face of rage on him, and then saw at Ur, Mira and Mystogan before him.
His face grows a grin as Thorson saw Mystogan before him.
"Well, well, well. If isn't it the sweet little prince. To think that you would return, after leaving the Kingdom in a such poor state." Thorson said.
"Spare me your humor, Thorson. I have no room for someone as mad as Faust." Mystogan said.
"Have you been outside of this world for so long that you forgot to smile? I always thought you ran away to leave this world behind." Thorson said. "I would never leave my home world behind! I needed to find a way to solve this world's problems, and either your or Faust´s methods are the solution!" Mystogan said.
"As if I need your help. I already know how to solve it, and you and your allies among the problems!" Thorson said, as his Blitz Hammer glowed with electricity.
"Mystogan, let us help him in taking him down." Mira said. "You sure? What you are to face, are the mightiest man in Edolas. If you take part in this, there will be no turning back." Mystogan said, holding two of his staffs in his hands.
"That's nothing to us, because when it comes to backing down, Fairy Tail won't do it, no matter which world they are in." Ur said.
"You really think you can take me down? I took you down earlier with that Pink Haired Brat earlier. And you, didn't you lose to that Panther Lily? What makes either of you think that you can take me down now?" Thorson asked.
Neither Ur or Mira didn't show any hesitation or fear in their movement, as Mira transformed into her Take Over: Satan Soul, while Ur charged Ice Magic in her hands.
"Oh trust me, I didn't know what you were capable of, but now that I have seen it, I will gain the advantage this time." Mira said.
"And for me, I can say this for sure. Back when I fought that large Exceed, he took me by surprise. But at the same time, it felt like he crying inside, almost as if he was ashamed of something, causing me without knowing to hold back." Ur said, remembering her earlier with Panther Lily.
"Enough talking, lets fight! Once I taken all three of you down, I shall go and reclaim my rightful place as the ruler of Edolas!" Thorson declared before laughing like a maniac.
"You really haven't changed a bit, Thorson." Mystogan said, pointing his staff at him. "The same to you, which is why this will go fast." Thorson said.
"Trust me, you wish it´ll go fast. Because I am not the same I was all these years ago!" Mystogan said, as he charged towards Thorson, alongside Mira and Ur.
"LET'S GO!" Mystogan, Mira and Ur all said at the same time.
Meanwhile, at the ruins, Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel looking down on the Edolas Fairy Tail wizards fighting the Edolas soldiers.
"Damn, things sure are getting heated up here." Gajeel said. "I agree. And don't think things will calm down anytime soon." Natsu said.
"YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!" A loud, familiar voice was heard, causing the trio of Dragon Slayers turn around to see that Faust, in the Dorma Anim, had appeared.
"Dammit, not this old fossil." Gajeel said in a annoyed tone. "You really thought you could escape from me, just because Thorson distracted me?! When facing me, the King, no one escapes my judgement! No one!" Faust said.
"Took the words right out of my mouth!" Natsu said, as he, Wendy and Gajeel stepped forward. Wendy has her hands in spheres of Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, a determined look on her face, Gajeel had his fists turned into iron, a grin on his face, and Natsu was grinning as well, with darkness coating his hands.
"Trust me. We haven't been thinking of running away at all. Not when you're enemy of Fairy Tail, whatever it's this world or the next, you won't go unpunished for what you did!" Natsu said.
"Such arrogant words! I will make sure you regret saying them!" Faust said in rage within the giant robot armor.
Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy were to face against the Mad King; in a clash were Edolas fate would be changed forever.
The final battle is now on!
And with this, there are two more chapters left of the Edolas Arc, before we move to the next one. So, until then, stay tuned everyone! Please review, favorite and follow.
In case you wonder of Thorson´s speech during their fight, I wasn't try to make Thorson some kind of good guy. He is much a more an asshole like Faust. Thorson wants to rule Edolas with an Iron fist, removing the weak ones where the strong rules, similar at how Laxus of Earthland wanted to take over Fairy Tail Guild. The difference is that unlike Faust, Thorson doesn't do stuff like fighting with giant robot dragons.
Speaking of Faust, as for the Poll I made long ago, the result will be shown in the next chapter of what Faust fate will be. But until then, I will make sure work and update the next chapter as soon as possible.
Also, keep in mind I am also working on Inner Power being rewritten, and trust me; it will be much better than you think.
But for now, see you all later!
