Hello everyone, here is the next chapter. I hope this chapter will be awesome, and if it is, please review, favorite and follow. I had do some rewrite here and there. As I mentioned last chapter, this will be the chapter where things will be concluded for the Edolas Arc. Note that you will see the results of the Faust Poll here.
Also, for one of the reviwers, Vincent Blames, who asked me on the review for chapter 50, October 27, 2020. You can check the review there.
Now, he has been asking that for a long time. I will clear some things out for you. First, I don't bear any ill to you, its nice that you write review. Second, Natsu wont turn into a villain in this story, or face his inner darkness. It wont happen, or the other things you asked on the other reviews. I will have Natsu portrayed how I want him to, and one thing simple, he wont be a villain. That's final.
But rest asure, Natsu will be paired with Lisanna, alright? I hope that made you feel relief. Sorry if I don't take your ideas, alright?
Hiro Mashima is the one and only owner of Fairy Tail. I don't own a thing.

Chapter 62: Clash of Edolas 2
In the skies of Edolas, where the Exceeds were running away from being turned to Lacrima, a certain Queen and her followers were in the air as the watched over the horrible area.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Marl asked. "If there is someone that should be asked that question, it's the people of Extalia." Shagotte said. "It's truly horrible my Queen, and we appreciate your concern. But as of now, your safety it our highest priority." Mejeeter said. "We should thank the Fairy Tail for helping us, as they have given us and the rest of the Exceeds the time to escape." Martam said.
But then, suddenly another group of Edolas Soldiers came in the scene, riding on a Legion, pointing their weapons at Shagotte and the Exceeds around her.
"Hold it right there, Exceed scum!" One the soldiers, seemingly the leader of the bunch said, as the soldiers pointed their weapons, to then fire a beam to turn them into Lacrimas.
But before they could do anything, a sudden, familiar Exceed came into the scene, whom threw a ball at the Legion´s eye, with smoke then appearing and blinding the Legion and the Edolas Soldiers on it.
Blinded and confused, the soldiers and the Legion were taken down by large snake of iron coming right at them, striking both the Soldiers and Legion, knocking them all out!
As the Exceeds were confused as well, before then a familiar group of Exceeds, one blue, one white and one brown.
"I hope we aren't late to the scene." Happy said, as he, Gil and Carla had entered the scene.
"You are..." Shagotte said. "I know we are all Fallen, as we have broken the rules and stuff..." Gil said, turning to the incoming Edolas Soldiers on the flying Legions. Happy held his Kusanagi sword, while held took out balls from his vest.
"But as I told you before, I won't let my home country be ruined, whatever it takes!" Happy said. "Same here. They may have banished me, but I could never move on if something were to happen to my homeland, and I didn't do anything for it!" Gil said.
"You..." Shagotte said, as Carla was the one to speak next. "Don't relax just yet. There are still things that need to be fixed, and we are still not done." Carla said, as more Edolas soldiers came charging at them.
"So just stand back, and let us help you." Carla said.
"Y-you imbecile! Do you know who you´re talking to?!" A royal Exceed guard said, and Shagotte then put her hand before the Guard, her eyes shadows.
"It's okay. I am a queen, but still an Exceed. It's only a title for me to use to serve as a leader." Shagotte said.
"And for now, we need to focus to survive even to this very moment!" The Exceed Queen said.
"And to sin for our sins, including mine." Shagotte thought.
At the ruins, the three Dragon Slayers, Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy, were fighting against Faust, who was currently within and using the Dorma Anim.
"Abyss Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu said, as a stream of darkness came out of his mouth, and were sent at the Dorma Anim, as Gajeel sent at attack as well. "Iron Dragon´s Roar!" Gajeel said, as he sent a blast of iron shards.
The attacks struck the robotic dragon armor, as it even managed to push it back a bit.
"Those ignorant scums...! Do they have any idea who they are messing with?! I am the King of Edolas, Faust! There is no worse enemy than me for you to fear!" Faust thought, as then Natsu and Gajeel rushed towards him.
"It won't matter! I will not have them take away my reign that rightfully belongs to me!" Faust thought determined, as he proceeded to slam Natsu and Gajeel, sending them straight towards a group of pillars!
"Natsu-san! Gajeel-san!" Wendy screamed, but Natsu and Gajeel managed to land on their feet on the pillars, before going off at great speed, breaking the pillars to pieces.
Natsu charges his fist in darkness, while Gajeel had his feet to turn into iron, preparing their next attacks.
"Abyss Dragon´s Iron Fist!" Natsu said, punching at the Dorma Anim's leg. "Iron Dragon´s Sword!" Gajeel said, as he cut with his leg that turned into a sharp, spinning blade at the other legs. It caused the Dorma Anim to bends its knees down, as Gajeel took the chance to turn his arm in a sharp, blade of iron, to then fire several sharp iron rods at its face.
"Demon Logs!" Gajeel said, but before he could fire them, the Dorma Anim proceed to swat them again with its large paw, with Natsu then used his Dark-Make to create a shield to block the strike.
As it struck them, Gajeel proceeded then to send several sharp rods of iron at the Dorma Anim´s chest, causing it stumble backwards a pit, as then Natsu proceeded to use his Kuroryuken Sword to then slash its chest.
But the Dorma Anim´s proceeded to smash Natsu with its paw, who blocked it with his Kuroryuken.
"It's useless!" Faust said, as Natsu was smashed to the ground at great speed, and then proceeded to kick Gajeel, sending away once again.
The Dorma Anim proceeded to then slam its paws at Natsu and Gajeel, when the Sky Dragon Slayer held out her hands before.
"Don't worry, I got you!" Wendy said, as her hands then began to glow in a green light.
"Armor!" Wendy said, as both Natsu and Gajeel were covered in light, and when the claw of the Dorma Anim hit them, it didn't cause much damage as they thought it would, but were sent back at great speed, as the two Dragon Slayers landed on the ground.
"What was that?" Natsu said. "It felt like our defenses raised up for a bit." Gajeel said.
"Armor is an Enchantment of Sky Dragon Slayer Magic. For a short amount of time, I increased your defenses." Wendy explained.
"Wow, that's very neat to hear, thanks Wendy!" Natsu said, as Gajeel looked at the Dorma Anim that was before the trio.
"Then you should be the backup. Because this guy is a hundred times tougher in that Armor. We better take care of him, and quick." Gajeel said.
"You got it." Wendy said, preparing her next Spell.
"O strengthen of arm to Cleave the Heavens! Arms!" Wendy said, enchanting the offense of her fellow Dragon Slayers.
"Not done yet! O swift wind that dashes through the heavens! Vernier!" Wendy said, as her Spell increased the speed of both Natsu and Gajeel.
Both Natsu and Gajeel grinned, as Wendy stood determined and serious in aiding her friends, in taking down their common enemy.
"Don't you worry, Wendy. We shall make sure to use this to kick this old bastard´s ass. You can count on it!" Natsu said, as he and his fellow Dragon Slayers weren't gonna end without taking a fight.
With Mystogan, Ur and Mira vs Thorson, the fight raged on their as well.
In the air, Thorson used his hammer to send several blasts of lightning bolts at the group.
"Lightning Rain Storm!" Thorson said, as the lightning bolts rained down the group, with Ur creating tall, wall-like shields around themselves.
But as the lightning bolts hit the ice walls, they penetrated through them easily, but it still gave them enough time to dodge them.
Mira in her Satan Soul form flew in the air, proceeded to fire several spheres of dark energy balls at Thorson, who made a bubble-shaped barrier of lightning around himself, protecting himself from the spheres.
As the dark energy spheres struck the barrier, the spheres dissolved to nothing, and Thorson watched over his opponents with a grin on his face.
"You really disappoint me. Is this what my Golden Mjölnir lost to?" Thorson said, as his eyes turned to Mystogan. "And I heard you gotten stronger than since our last meeting. That's all you got?" Thorson said in a mocking tone.
"I wouldn't underestimate if I were you, Thorson." Mystogan said, before raising his staff in the air. "Ur! Mira! Distract him as I prepare my next Spell!" Mystogan said, as the two women did as they were told.
"Got it." Ur said, creating a large ice bird for her to ride on, flying towards Thorson. "Whatever you have in store, it better work." Mira said. "Don't worry, because among the three of us, I have known Thorson the most." Mystogan said, as he then raised his staff in the air.
"Whatever you have planned, I won't let you!" Thorson said, but then a barrage of ice arrow, sent by Ur from her ice bow, who Thorson easily took down by swinging his hammer. Mira then proceeded to punch Thorson in the gut, sending him a bit away. "You bitch!" Thorson said, swinging his hammer at Mira, who dodged it.
As Thorson was fighting Ur and Mira, Mystogan proceeded to raise his staff to the air, as then seven Magic Circles, different colored circles, each being a different color. Being red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet in that order, with red being the lowest, while violet being the highest. A bright, white light was then released, covering the area in one kilometer.
Thorson tried to go towards Mystogan, but Ur made a tall wall of ice to block his path, which Thorson smashed a hole in the ice wall with his hammer, coming right through it. Ur then made several ice walls rise from the ground, which were easily taken down by Thorson and his hammer.
But just as Thorson had broken through the last wall, Mira appeared before him, and sent a straight kick at him!
Thorson proceeded blocked the kick with his shield, as Ur then made another ice bow, sending several ice arrows at him.
Thorson pointed his Blitz at the incoming Arrows, while having his Donner Shield to block the punches Mira sent at him. Lightning came from the hammer, which struck the arrows, dissolving them instantly.
Ur made a thick, round wall of ice at the incoming Lightning Blast, which immediately broke down, but gave her time to jump away.
Thorson then swung his hammer at Mira, who blocked it with her arm, making him grin.
"Big mistake!" Thorson said, and then unleashed a stream of electricity, attempting to fry her. As Mira was electrocuted, she managed to form a grin.
"You call that lightning? Laxus from our world could do way better than that!" Mira taunted, triggering Thorson.
"This world or not, those who call me weak are not going to get unpunished for that!" Thorson said in rage, and Mira then proceeded to grab the Blitz Hammer, but Thorson was quicker as he then proceed to then swing upwards and then send down the ground, before flying towards her.
Thorson pointed his hammer at her, as Mira crossed her arms, as she prepared to block his next attack, as Ur then suddenly came between them, sending the next attack at Thorson.
"Ice Make: Frost Dragon Charge!" Ur said, as several snake-like dragons were made and charged straight at Thorson.
"This again? With this size and many in numbers, you really think you have chance, with them being slow?!" Thorson said, as the ice dragons came at him. Thorson then spun around, charged with electricity.
"Thunder Swirl Assault!" Thorson said, as a powerful wave of electricity emitted, striking the ice dragons and dissolving the dragons to nothing but ice dust.
However, Mira to the advantage to then use the ice dust as a distraction, as she then to send a punch at his face.
But Thorson dodged attack, and Ur then sent several ice swords at Thorson, who used his shield to block the ice swords.
"You know whatever you threw at me; will only stall your immediate demise!" Thorson said.
"We may be slow you down, but at least we can give Mystogan time in whatever he´s doing." Ur said.
"Right on time." Mystogan said, and then the pillar in the sky then began to dissipate, and then a beautiful barrier was formed, coloring a kilometer around Mystogan, covering a massive amount of land in the process.
"Seven Layered Magic Circle: Iridescent Barrier!" Mystogan said, as then his Spell came into fruition.
"What, what the hell is this?" Thorson said in confusion. "Looks like whatever Mystogan was up to, worked." Mira said with a smile, as Ur smiled as well.
Mira then proceeded to punch Thorson in the gut, resulting him being sent at great speed towards, as Ur then made several ice spears at him. This time, Thorson didn't have the time to dodge or counter, but used his shield to block the ice spears, as they shatter upon impact.
Mira then used great speed to then punch the Donner Shield, which sent it with Thorson right up in the sky, at a great speed, and before he knew it, he crashed with his back at the top of the barrier.
The crash was powerful, as Thorson coughed up blood and fell, but managed to keep his consciousness, and was still floated in the air.
As he looked up, he saw that cracks were quickly regenerating themselves, much to his shock.
"What the hell...?" Thorson said, as he then took his Blitz Hammer to then smash the barrier. As he did so, cracks were made, but were quickly healed. He smashed more and more on the barrier, as more cracks appeared only for it to be quickly regenerated, much to his frustration.
"It's no use, Thorson. This Spell is an ultimate imprisonment. You are now trapped with me, alongside Mira-san and Ur-san, in this prison. No matter how many times you try to break this barrier, you won't be set free." Mystogan said, as Mira then sent another kick at Thorson, sending him towards Ur who swung a large ice sword, only to be shattered by his hammer.
"And now with you no longer having anywhere to escape, I got you right where I want you. Mark my words on that, Thorson!" Mystogan thought, preparing his next Spell.
(Play Fairy Tail ost - Erza´s theme)
With Erza vs Knightwalker, the fight didn't slow down either.
As a matter of fact, it got more intense after each attack the two red-haired counterparts try to land a blow on each other, either to be dodged or countered.
Erza flied with in her Black Wing Armor, swinging both of her dual swords at her, who blocked it with her Ten Commandments Spear.
It managed to push her away a bit, but Knightwalker showed greater force as she then forcefully sent her away with her spear, as Erza was sent down the ground with a crash.
But the crash was nothing to Erza, she then Re-Quipped into another set of her armors, her Heaven Wheel Armor.
With a ring of sword behind her, and a pair of sword in her hands, the blades around her spun as she then fled towards her counterpart.
"You think I'm scared just because you have more swords at your side? Think again!" Knightwalker said, as her Spear Transformed once again, this time the spear head turned into the blade of a long, double bladed broadsword, a dark rain guard with gold lining and a music note on top of it, as its handle was the dark with gold lining as well.
"Eisen Meteor!" Knightwalker said, and then Erza sent several swords at her, which she swung easily away with the new form of her blade.
As more and more swords came at Knightwalker, Erza got closer and closer towards her, before then interlocking with her counterpart´s spear.
"You won't be getting out of this alive, Scarlet. Once I won, I will show your head to your allies, to show how pointless it is to go against us." Knightwalker said, and Erza grit her teeth, as Knightwalker pushed her further with her Eisen Meteor.
"And you think I let you do that?" Erza said, pushing back Eisen Meteor with her swords. "Of course, which is why I need to kill you first. But it's sad as you won't be able to feel their despair once I have killed you. Because there can only be one Erza in this world, and that's me!" Knightwalker said, pushing Erza back.
"You think that´s what reality is to you?" Erza said, shadowed eyes. "What do you know? Being my counterpart, you are different; I am the superior one, the one true warrior here." Knightwalker said, as she pushed Erza back, who fled in the air, using the wings of her armor.
"And to prove it, I shall eradicate you, right here and now!" Knightwalker said, as her spear then transformed into cue de cruz like cross, with the tips at the sides curved like wings, while the top was that of a spike, behind it four pipes with diamond shaped decorations, and had a long, cylindrical barrel akin to that of a cannon, the same that pierced Panther Lily earlier.
Erza then flied to the ground to land, as Knightwalker´s expression remained unchanged.
"It's no use! I got you now!" Knightwalker said, as the barrel of the cannon glowed.
"Million Suns!" Knightwalker said, as a bright flash of light, bigger and brighter than before, as Erza Re-quipped into her Adamantine Armor.
Using the shields of her armor, she put before herself, as the blast Knightwalker fired came, striking it head on!
Knightwalker had a smile of victory on her face, but it quikcly died down as it showed as it managed to keep intact, without any serious damage.
Knightwalker grit her teeth frustration as a response.
"This shield has tasted way worse than it has faced. That blast isn't even far from half the worst it had faced." Erza said, as she remembered back she stopped the Phantom Lord´s Jupiter Cannon.
"You think you will hide behind that armor? With armor heavy as that, it must be hard to move too." Knightwalker said.
"Trust me, I have let go the times I have been bound to hide behind armor, a long time ago!" Erza said, as she switched to her Speed Armor, using its enchanted speed to dodge the blasts Knightwalker shot with her Million Suns.
(End Fairy Tail ost here)
"Stay right where you are, so I can kill like the pathetic worm you are!" Knightwalker said, and then Erza appeared before her, swinging her two swords at her. "Don't worry, I am not gonna run away from it, unlike you!" Erza said, swinging her swords, as Knightwalker jumped, and her spear raised above her head.
"Ten Commandments: Sacrifar!" Knightewalker said, and as spear glowed, showing its new form.
This time, it took the spear´s pole took the colour of gold with scales on it, beneath the blade the guard was had now four horns curved upwards, forming an x, having a round, blank emblem on its middle, and the blade itself was long, dark colored and had the words "Sacrifar" on it.
"I´ll show you a coward, with all the rage I have been built up because of you and your friends, Scarlet!" Knightwalker said, as dark red energy began to surround her, and immediately began charge at her counterpart.
Knightwalker had her spear raised in the air, before then bringing it down and it struck the ground, giving it a shattering impact.
"That force, it way bigger than normal." Erza thought, as Knightwalker swung her spear again, as Erza dodged it in the last second.
It instead struck a broken wall and some broken pillars, as they were shattered by the mere force it.
"Her attacks are different, showing much for than before." Erza thought, as she jumped away, as Knightwalker followed her, stabbing the ground as Erza dodged it with a inch before the Sacrifar Spear could strike her.
"It has to do something with that form of her spear." Erza thought, jumping up in the air, as Knightwalker charged at her.
Erza Re-Quipped into her Lightning Empress Armor, pointing her spear at her, sending a bolt of lightning at Knightwalker.
The lightning bolt struck the tip of Sacrifar Spear, as it even though it shocked and did a bit of damage; it still made her able to continue to charge forward towards Erza.
"Not only did it increase the strength and speed, but also the endurance? But then, it seems that is still managed to damage." Erza thought, as then Knightwalker was before her, swinging her spear at her.
Erza used her lightning spear to block it, as lightning were emitted. But it didn't stop Knightwalker, as their weapons were pushing against each other's, fighting for dominance. And if through instinct, Erza could feel that something was with Knightwalker, as if something had been robbed off her, as an exchange in giving her power.
It was then something Erza realized.
"Your emotions, they have been..." Erza said, but before she could finish her sentence, she was sent away by Knightwalker, who pointed her spear at her.
"That´s right, Scarlet. This spear, Sacrifar, hence to its name, have sacrificed every emotion, except for anger, concealing them for me not to be hindered by everything else." Knightwalker said.
"As anger is the only thing a warrior needs, in every fight, every battle, every war." Knightwalker said, pointing her spear at her.
"You think rage is the only thing you need in a battle?" Erza said. "Without things like fear, sorrow, happiness and compassion, standing in my way, I have become the perfect warrior." Knightwalker said, beginning to once again trying to strike Knightwalker with her Sacrifar that was blocked by Erza´s lightning spear.
"Face it, you´re no longer on my level, Scarlet! With my rage fully unleashed upon you, I will show you what it really meant to be a warrior!" Knightwalker declared with her eyes glowing red.
Erza didn't show any hesitation or focus, trying to remain calm and focus on Knightwalker.
"You will pay for taking me lightly of me! For Edolas, for King Faust, and the future of this world, I will make sure to you and your friend down!" Knightwalker said, if her sanity had left her body, her voice containing nothing but pure rage and anger.
She began to swing her Sacrifar again, and as she swung it, it felt like Knightwalker lost more and more control of herself, she now felt like nothing more than a beast now, than a warrior.
"She is losing more and more of her control." Erza thought, blocking an attack from Knighrwalker´s Sacrifar, then jumping away and realizing that her swords were closed to breaking.
Erza grit her teeth, as she then to stab the ground with her lightning spear, as then lightning was surrounding her in a pillar of lightning.
"Electro Circle!" Erza said, as Knightwalker, who didn't seem fazed at all, proceeding to then swing her Sacrifar at her.
Arrogant and overconfident, Knightwalker could now go against any obstacle, now that every emotion but anger was now concealed, she could no longer be hindered by anything.
Knightwalker went through the circle of lightning, ignoring the electrocuting pain as she came through, her attempting to stab Erza.
Erza blocked her enemy´s spear with her spear, locked onto each other's as the circle of lightning around them dispersed.
Knightwalker proceeded to break the look and then swung her spear wildly, being either parried or blocked by Erza´s lightning spear, until she was finally sent back by one powerful swing of the Sacrifar. Erza was forced to Re-Quip into her regular armor.
Both the red-haired warriors looked into the eyes of each other, not showing one sign of quitting.
"You are weak." Knightwalker said, looking down at Erza. "I'm you. And weak or not, I will not fall." Erza said, as she got up and prepared to Re-Quip into her next armor.
Erza jumped towards Knightwalker at great speed, Re-Quipping, into her Flame Empress Armor and slashed with her dual swords, unleashing a torrent of flames, taking in the form of a X.
"Burning Cross!" Erza said, as Knightwalker blocked it with her spear, as Erza continued to slash with her sword at her counterpart.
With either of them showing any signs of stopping, as the fate of what they were fighting were resting on this battle!
At the same time, in the corridors of the Royal Castle...
Flakes, after her battle against Lucy, Layla and Yukino, her counterpart, the Lieutenant of the first Magic War Division, slowly opened her eyes. She looked around, and soon realized that she was currently in one of the corridors of the Royal Castle.
"W-what... happened...?" Flakes said in confusion, as she then realized she was carried by Lucy on her back, who was running alongside Layla and her counterpart Yukino.
Flakes soon noticed she was in bandages, from her fight with the three Celestial Spirit mages earlier. Her hands were tied behind with Anti Magic Chains, making her unable to escape if she wanted.
"Where am I...? What's going on?" Flakes said confused, as the trio of Lucy, Layla and Yukino noticed.
"I see you´re finally awake." Lucy said, as she and the others continued to run. "Don't you worry; we fixed you up as soon you lost consciousness. You should be fine if you stand still and let us take you to a safe place." Layla said.
"As of now, you need to stand down and take it easy. If you make a move, your wounds will be reopened." Yukino said, and Flakes had her eyes shadowed.
"Why? Why did you save me?" Flakes asked, and Lucy sighed. "I knew you were gonna ask us that. And even if you were our enemy, we aren't murderers, like Thorson, or Faust." Lucy explained.
"You may have a different reason for fighting than we do, and like the others, you must have a reason." Layla said, turning to Yukino. "Being our friend's counterpart, something must have happened." Layla said. Flakes remained silent as her eyes were shadowed.
"It's okay if you don't want to tell about it. After all, we were enemies..." Lucy said, but Flakes cut her off.
"If you think you can hold me hostage, you have done a big mistake. Because since I am affiliated with Thorson-sama, they likely kill me as well." Flakes said.
"Being the enemies of this kingdom, I expect seeing this from you." Flakes said. "Whatever we could use as a hostage or not, it's not something we would do to just anyone. Not to innocent people at least." Lucy said. "Even if it was a last resort, it's something we wouldn't enjoy to do, but something we had to do, in order to survive." Layla said, as Yukino was the next one to speak.
"We are all different, and you have the right to judge. The enemies you faced must have sure been cruel and merciless ones." Yukino said.
"You don't know anything." Flakes said, looking away. "We don't know, unless you decide to tell us." Lucy said. Flakes was quiet for a moment. She remembered the words she just heard, hearing it from someone she had known a long time ago.
As Flakes was deep in her thoughts, the group were currently running outside the castle, going out the balcony as they saw the battlefield around them, as the Edolas Fairy Tail were fighting the Edolas Soldiers.
"This has become quite the battlefield there." Layla said. "Then, we should make a move, before..." Lucy said, as then suddenly a group of Edolas Soldiers, riding on a Legion, came charging at them from the sky, pointing their spears.
"There they are!" One of the soldiers on the Legion said. "It's the Earthlanders and former Lieutenant Flakes of the 1st Magic Division!" Another soldier.
"Take them all out! They are all enemies of Edolas! Don't let any one of them leave this place alive!" The Leader of the Soldier Group said.
"Dammit, to think we got accompany." Lucy said. "We won't be able to summon our spirits in time." Yukino said, and Layla took out her Aile Du Ciel Sword. "Maybe not without Spirits, but with my sword, I may be able to lay a hit or two." Layla said, holding out her Sword before her.
Flakes tried to move, but couldn't because of the injuries of her earlier battle.
"They were right, if I move, I re-open my wounds." Flakes thought, looking up at the incoming Legion and Edolas Soldiers.
"This must be punishment for my weakness, and failure. At least the enemies will be taken out with me." Flakes thought, closing her eyes.
As the Legion with soldiers were incoming, another Legion onto it, crashing it to the wall with a loud crash!
The soldiers were taken on as the Legion fell down the ground, as the other Legion, ridden by Coco.
"I hope I managed to get here in time." Coco said, as she noticed Lucy, Yukino and Layla. "Coco!" Lucy said, and Coco smiled as a response, as she that they were safe.
"Good to see you´re safe." Coco said, as she then saw Flakes being carried on Lucy´s back. "You´re..." Coco said, as she her eyes widened in shock, and had the Legion she was riding on take a step back and even held a fighting position.
"Hold on, Coco!" Lucy said, as Layla got before her daughter. "She is already out of the fight, after we took her out earlier." Layla explained. "You took Lieutenant Flakes out?" Coco said in shock. Even if Flakes wasn't at the same level of strength and power as Thorson and the Golden Mjölnir, it was still one incredible feature.
"Yeah, but as of now, she needs to be taken to a safe place for her to heal." Yukino said. "You´re saying that we are gonna take the enemy to heal and recover? Do you know how weird and illogical that sounds?" Coco said.
"I know." Yukino said, and turned to her counterpart. "But being my counterpart, despite being different, she must have gone through a lot of pain." Yukino said, as Flakes remained silence of the words her Earthland counterpart had just said.
"Coco, trust us. We will make sure that she won't do anything suspicious." Lucy said. "And even if she were to do something, she is chained in Anti-Magic Stones we happened to found." Layla said, turning to Flakes.
"It's what choices you have if you intend to do anything suspicious." Layla said, and Flakes remained silent. "And we also tended your injuries, despite being our enemy." Yukino said, with Flakes remaining stoic.
Coco was silent too for a moment, before sighing. "Alright. But make sure that she doesn't do anything suspicious." Coco said.
"Trust us, she won't." Lucy said, as she and the others got on the Legion, which immediately took off to the air, as they were flying into the sky, over the battlefield.
Back with Ur, Mira and Mystogan vs Thorson, Thorson sent another blast of lightning at Ur, who blocked with a large ice shield, which sent her back, shattering the flying ice bird she was on, but Mira managed grabbed her.
Mystogan watched the battle occur before him.
"I managed to cast the Seven Layered Magic Circle: Iridescent Barrier just in time. This barrier can withstand Spells like Gottfried, Urano Metria and other Spells with ease." Mystogan thought, as Thorson sent Ur and Mira crashing to the ground.
"But sadly, it lasts for fifteen minutes. Five minutes have already passed, meaning we cannot waste any more time." Mystogan thought, as he then proceeded to then proceeded to make his next Spell.
Thorson noticed that, as he proceed to charge towards to him, but Mystogan was already ahead of him.
"Nine Layered Circle Magic: Flying Echo Step!" Mystogan said, as then fifteen white Magic Circles, each having an arrow on them, began to show across the area, appeared in different places, one of them beneath Mystogan.
As Thorson swung his Mystogan, he broke down in several particles as he was teleported to one of the other Magic Circles, close to Mira and Ur.
"What was that?" Ur said. "Flying Echo Step allows the user to speed up to the moments by standing on them. Stand on the circles, and your speed and strength will be increased." Mystogan said, as Ur and Mira stepped on their respective Magic Circle, as they fell their speed boost up.
"What is this?" Ur said. "Why don't you try it out?" Mystogan said, as Thorson went to charge at the group.
Without any words, Ur and Mira went to charge, and with greater speed than before!
"What the..." Thorson said, as much to this shock, Mira appeared before him, and send a punch at his gut!
Thorson coughed up blood, as the punch Mira gave him was stronger than before, as it then sends him flying towards the barrier, crashing onto its hard impact.
Mira looked in awe as she watched her hand. "That was just a simple punch, yet so much power was emitted." Mira said.
"As this Spell increases ones speed to the point that one's simple melee attack have been increased tenfold. Even a simple attack as a punch has increased tenfold." Mystogan said.
Thorson went to charged at Ur and Mystogan, as he was close to them, they managed to avoid it, as they were teleported to another to one of the Magic Circles, much to his shock.
"What?!" Thorson said, as he saw that Ur and Mystogan transported to one of the other circles.
"You really think I´d return to my homeland empty-handed? While I was in Earthland, I learned some new moves you see." Mystogan said, as then Mira then appeared behind Thorson, sending another one her empowered powers.
Ur proceeded to make another barrage of ice arrows, sending them at Thorson, striking them across his body.
Thorson, in rage, went to send more lightning blasts at from at his enemies, but Mystogan, Mira and Ur managed to easily dodged the attacks, as they were teleported to different Magic Circles across the area.
"Dammit, stay still so that I can take you down!" Thorson said in rage and frustration, as they avoided the attacks Thorson threw at them, Ur and Mira send their respective attacks at him.
Mira sent several dark blasts at Thorson, while Ur sent several ice attacks, being ice arrows or ice spears at him.
"Ice-Make: Grand Birds!" Ur said, as she created several birds of ice, for them to swarm at Thorson. As the birds came at him, Thorson swung his hammer, destroying them, as then Mira proceeded to then blast him from behind.
The blast hit him in the back, as he was send backwards, as he was sent towards him, who slashed him with a large ice sword. But Thorson managed to block it the sword slash with his Donner Shield, though it managed to send him a bit away.
Thorson grunted, as he saw Ur and Mira charged at him, as they switched positions from the Magic Seals scattered across the battlefield.
"Damn you, Mystogan. You think that you can beat me? I make you regret that very idea with your life!" Thorson thought, as he swung his hammer at his enemies, only for them to be teleported again.
"I'll show you what happens when you mess with the greatest warrior of this world!" Thorson thought, as it was no way he's going to lose here and now.
Thorson remembered, as a child, due to the poverty he lived in, he remembered the day that his father had sold him to the kingdom, for him to pay his taxes.
He never forgot, or forgave him for that, but it was better than to live at the home ruined by poverty, but even more by his father´s abuse.
As he trained to become a soldier, he vowed himself to never stay at the lowest again, no matter what.
Through so, he gained followers, soldiers, planned, prepared everything to stand at the top, no matter the cost!
And he was not gonna have them ruin it, of what he had planned for years!
Thorson charged at Mira and Ur, but then saw that Mystogan, on top of the one of the hills, had prepared his next Spell.
"Take this! Four Layered Magic Circle: Karmic Lightning!" Mystogan said, as then four golden Magic Circles Seals appeared around Thorson, each at a different direction, being north, south, west and east.
"What the hell are those?" Thorson said in confusion, as he proceeded to then jump away, but as he did, the Four Magic Seals followed him.
"The Seals, are following me?" Thorson said in confusion.
"Of course, there is no use with them following you. These seals will follow you to the ends of the world!" Mystogan said, as Thorson flied in his attempt to escape, but to no avail.
"If I can't escape, then I have to destroy them!" Thorson said, as he went to destroy the Magic Seals, but before he could do that, Ur and Mira appeared as they proceed to each land their attacks on him.
"Evil Spiral!" Mira said, as she sent a large beam of spiraling darkness at Thorson, while Ur created a large ice spear in her hand.
"Ice Make: Grand Winter Spear!" Ur said, as she threw the ice spear at Thorson.
The beam of darkness and the ice spear struck Thorson head, sending him clashing to the ground at speed, making a crater in the process.
He coughed up, as he slowly got up, and then saw the four Magic Circles were still around him.
"Oh shit..." Thorson said, but before he could do anything, the four Magic Circles are send a beam at him, connecting into a large cross, as then a large, flashy explosion was made.
Mystogan, Ur and Mira watched the powerful blast engulfing Thorson, until it soon died down.
It showed Thorson, covered in bruises and burnt marks, with his cape in tattered and cut short, his armor in cracks, and his clothing tattered.
Smoke came out of his mouth and ears, as despite being in pain and heavily damaged, as still grinned.
"You think that´s enough to take me down?" Thorson said, coughing out smoke.
"That sure brought a lot of damage." Ur said. "Yeah. Unlike our Laxus, he isn't a Lightning Dragon Slayer, meaning Thorson didn't have any protection against lightning-based magic." Mystogan said.
"But he is still standing. However, one more should do the trick, which I need more time." Mystogan said, turning to Ur and Mira.
"You think you can hold him off until then?" Mystogan asked, as Mira and Ur smiled. "Of course. Whatever you say, you will guarantee on our victory, right?" Mira said. "Then don't worry, we shall make to not let you down." Ur said, as she and Mira charged towards Thorson.
"You think I will be taken down that easily? Think again..." Thorson said, as he felt great paralyzing pain in his body.
"My body... I can't..." Thorson said, as then Mira and Ur proceeded to then attack him with their respective Spells.
"Ice-Make: Swans!" Ur said, creating a swarm of ice swans flying right at him. Thorson blocked with his Donner Shield. As the ice swans made an impact, the Donner Shield, being already damaged and cracked, from Mystogan´s previous Spell, began to crack more.
(Play Fairy Tail ost Strong Bonds in Mind Here)
"Oh heavens, where the Gods reside. Here my prayer... as We, the Angels, sing, the Humans fight for their pride, justice and duty..." Mystogan chanted, in a tone that was akin to singing, as then Seven Magic Circles made before him.
Mira then proceeded to send a punch at Thorson. It went through his Donner Shield, shattering the shield to pieces, and striking him right through the chest!
"Where we are, whenever we are, whatever we are fighting for, which stands before us..." Mystogan chanted, in a singing motion like before.
Thorson coughed up blood, and with an enraged expression on his face, he proceeded to swing his Blitz Hammer, striking her in the chest, sending her clashing to the ground.
"The light you bring us, we shall make sure to use it to write down the Holiness you have..." Mystogan continued to sing the incarnation to the Spell.
Ur then created a bow of ice, to the sent several arrows at Thorson. Flying with his Helmod Armor, Thorson managed to dodge most of them, and used his Blitz Hammer to counter them. But due to his injuries from Mystogan´s Karmic Lightning Spell, he was still paralyzed, and Helmod Armor in a damaged state, he was eventually by one of the ice arrows Ur sent, striking him right in his eye.
Thorson held his face and shouted in pain, as Ur smirked at that.
"Bull´s eye." Ur said.
"And with these, we shall sing, in the gratitude of glory you have brought us..."
Thorson glared with his remained eye at the female ice wizard, as Mira then proceeded to kick him right in the abdomen, shattering the chest plate of the Helmod Armor, and cracking some ribs as well!
"As of now, we are not gonna fall, as that would insult you more than ever..." Mystogan sang, as the Spell was almost ready to be used.
Thorson coughed up more blood than before, as he glared at Mira, as he swung his hammer at Mira again, but she managed to dodge the attack this time.
Thorson grunted as he had received grievous damage from this battle, Mira proceed to send another barrage of punches right his face, one fist after another hitting his face, until she then punched him one final time, sending him flying and crashing towards the ground.
Thorson laid in a cratered, not believing what was happening right now.
"I can't believe this... have I, the Mighty Thorson gotten this low? This cannot be!" Thorson said, as much to his horror, he saw that Mystogan now ready with his Spell.
"As the Choir of Angels, are now united, to vanquish the Great Darkness that threatens their Peace." Mystogan said, finishing the Song to incarnate the Spell.
"Seven Layered Circle Magic: Holy Hymn!" Mystogan said, as then a powerful beam Magic power came towards him.
In horror, Thorson used the Armor to escape the blast, but as he did, the beam followed him, much to this shock.
"It's no use. Like your sins, you cannot escape it. This Spell will follow you until you are stricken, and have you faced your sin." Mystogan said.
Thorson grit his teeth, trying to fly faster, but didn't get the speed he wanted, due to his injuries, as the Beam came faster.
"Dammit, if I can at least escape it, then..." Thorson thought, but then his feet were struck by a beam of ice, freezing him and stopping his moment.
"What the...?!" Thorson said, turning to a smirking Ur, was had frozen him, much to his anger and frustration, as the beam was about to strike him.
"Is this really, the end, for me...?" Thorson said, moments of his life coming before his eyes.
…
"Please, I don't have much to offer as of the moment, just give me more time..." The edolas counterpart of Ivan, begging the two Edolas Soldiers at his home.
The Thorson family was a poof family in the northern parts of Edolas, as everyday was a struggle, even more so as the young Laxus Thorson was under the abuse of his father Ivan, who blamed him for the death of this counterpart of Laxus' mother.
"Look pal, you said that a week ago. Pay up now, or face the consequences." The soldier said.
Ivan was sweating, desperate to save his own life.
But then he turned to the ragged, dirty and tattered young, blonde kid, as Ivan gained a idea, that was low, even for him.
"Then how about I give you something equal in money, or perhaps even better?" Edolas Ivan said with a smirk.
He was sold by his own father to save his own life. He was enraged by this of course, but at the same time relieved that he was no longer in the same roof as his bastard of a father.
Laxus Thorson was sold to be a soldier for the Edolas Army, his grudge for Ivan leaving an impact on him.
"I won't be like my shitty old man. I won't be a weakling who sells his own kid to save his own life." Thorson said, running through the training course with the other recruits.
Training in learning weapons, strategies, maneuvers and such, Thorson vowed to never be like his father, no matter what.
"I want to be strong, stronger than anyone. I want to be the strongest the world has ever seen." Thorson thought, being in a battlefield against a group of rebels.
He later learned his father died, during a riot in the city. He was disappointed of course that he couldn't end his life, but at least he was out of his life now.
Years went by, as through time, Thorson had gained himself a great deal of followers and enemies.
Moments had passed, one of them being when he bowed before King Faust, alongside Knightwalker, Byro, Hughes and Sugarboy, who sat on his throne.
"I regret working under you, you shitty old fart. You are weak, just like my old man. There is no way let the likes of you rule over me, or anyone in fact." Thorson thought.
He remembered the moment where he had his Golden Mjölnir, Lieutenant Flakes, and an army of soldiers that followed his deals in taking down King Faust, and become the new king.
"I shall you what a true King is, you shitty old man. Mark my words on that."
These words he remembered thinking, just before the Blast Mystogan had sent him, hitting him straight on!
"To think, it would end like this... what greater humiliation could there be...?" Thorson said, as the beam engulfed him completely.
The beam could be seen from miles, before it died down, to then show Thorson, unconscious as his Helmod Armor and even Blitz, were destroyed.
It meant one thing for clear.
Laxus Thorson, former Captain of the First Magic War Division, was defeated.
Ur and Mira, who transformed out of her Satan Soul, watched the unconscious Thorson lay on the ground, defeated.
"You did a pretty good job there, Mystogan." Ur said, as Mystogan walked into the scene. "Yes, that's one problem down..." Mystogan said. "I think we wont need this Barrier anymore." Mystogan said, snapping his fingers as the Spell Seven Layered Magic Circle: Iridescent Barrier then dissapoeared around them. Once it was gone Mystogan then proceeded to look at the .
"But we still have yet to celebrate, before our biggest problem is over." Mystogan said, as then a voice was heard.
"It seems you handled the situation pretty well, my Prince." Panther Lily said, bandaged as he was carried by another female Exceed.
"You´re..." Ur said, as she and Mira went in battle position, but Mystogan put his hand before them.
"Hold on. I know him." Mystogan said in a calm tone. "You know him?" Ur said in a surprised tone. "Since I was a child." Mystogan said. "Well, know that you mentioned it, I do recognize you, my Prince." Panther Lily said.
"You were that child many years ago, right?" Panther Lily said. "That´s right. I heard you were banished because of me. I deeply apologize for that." Mystogan said.
"Don't you worry about it. Besides, as a fellow banished, I understand you." Panther Lily said a smile on his face. "Don't move too much, you´re still injured." The female Exceed said.
"As much I want to celebrate our reunion, there are things need to be done." Mystogan said, as his White Legion came to the scene.
"Panther Lily, hop on. I need you for what I am about to do." Mystogan said. "With things are currently, I am willing to do anything." Panther Lily said, as he got on the White Legion, as he turned to Ur and Mira.
"You two stay here. Knowing you, you are more than capable to taking down enemies coming at you." Mystogan said.
"What will you do?" Mira asked, as the White Legion carrying Mystogan and Lily went to fly.
"We are gonna do something to save Edolas, once and for all." Mystogan said with a determined look.
"Just be careful, okay?!" The female Exceed said, as the then took off in the air.
"Well, knowing him, he will come up a solution, right?" Ur said, as she saw a horde of Edolas Soldiers coming towards them. "Yeah, I know he will." Mira said, as she Transformed into her Satan Soul.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't just abandon his comrades, am I right?" Ur said, charging with her Ice Magic in her hands, as she and Mira charged at the incoming soldiers.
With Lucy, Layla and Yukino, along with Yukino's counterpart, and Coco, riding on the large Legion, watched over the battlefield.
They had seen Thorson defeated by Mystogan´s Spell, as another victory had gotten to their favor.
"Thorson, have been defeated..." Lucy said. "We now have a less problem on our hands." Yukino said. "As it yet too soon to celebrate." Layla said, as she turned to the where Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel were fighting Faust in the Dorma Anim Armor.
"Never in my life had I hoped to see captain Thorson defeated." Flakes said, her eyes shadowed. "It's hard to see that my counterpart could follow such a man." Yukino said.
"If your world is cruel, then you understand. This world is cruel and unjust. What more reason do you need?" Flakes said, anger rage in her voice and tears threatening to come out of her eyes.
"Especially one where they murder one´s sisters!" Flakes shouted, stunning everyone, even Coco.
"What...?" Lucy said. "You had a sister...?" Layla said, as Yukino was silent in hearing that.
"Before meeting Captain Thorson, My older sister Sorano was the only one who was there for me." Flakes said.
"Sorano and I had a hard time living in the streets. Our parents had died a couple of days I had been born, and Sorano had to be the one to take care of me." Flakes explained, remembering their painful past.
"But even through whatever came, Sorano was there for me, standing up whenever I was in trouble or hungry." Flakes said.
…
In the streets of a town in Edolas, a babies' cry could be heard, as a young girl with white hair held her sister in a blanket in her arms.
"There, there. Calm down, your big sister is there for you." The Edolas counterpart of Sorano said, rocking her baby sitting Yukino gently in her arms.
She had promised to take care and be for their sisters, in hopes of their late parents.
Years went by, and despite the harsh environment, they managed to stay alive.
"Yukino, take my bread." Sorano said, handling a piece of bread to her little sister.
"But shouldn't you be eating too?" The young Flakes said, concerned of her sister health.
"Don't worry, I am older and stronger, but you are younger and weaker." Sorano said, patting her head. "But don't worry; I know you will be stronger when you grow up, so until then, it's big sisters' duty to be there for you." Sorano smiled, and the young Yukino smiled as well.
Years went by, with the two sisters thinking things were bright for them, it would soon be turn darker than before.
The town they lived was attacked by a mysterious group, with the village burned down, as the attackers had killed everyone, seemingly Sorano.
Left alone and broken, the young Yukino Flakes were lost in tears, but remembered her sister´s words that being a crybaby all the time couldn't solve all problems.
Eventually, she joined the royal army, as the army was even willing to let women in for their ranks.
As time went by, she grew stronger, both in combat, tactics and Magic, as Thorson acknowledged her skills, enough to trust her of his plans, of changing Edolas.
She wasn't have the world stay where you would lose everything, even if it wasn't much, as one family member could mean more than all the power in the world.
Lucy, Yukino, Layla and Coco were all silent; Lucy was the first to spoke.
"Things have been hard for you, huh?" Lucy said, as Flakes didn't respond.
"Our world is cruel and unjust as yours, if not even worse than yours. But we know more options, with them not being able to follow guys like Thorson, Faust or people even worse than them. You think using the tactics Thorson will change anything?" Lucy said.
"And you think you know any better than me?" Flakes said. "Maybe not me, but then perhaps you sister may know the answer." Lucy said, making Flakes stunned, and then looked away.
"But things sure are getting tenser down there." Layla said. "But knowing them, being our counterparts, they are sure to win. I know it." Lucy said smiling, with Yukino and Layla smiling as well, while Flakes was still looking away.
At the same time, The Three Dragon Slayers were still fighting Faust, who laughed like a manic.
"Are you afraid of my power?" Faust said, as he smacked Gajeel down the ground, sending him at fast to the ground with a crash.
"Gajeel-san!" Wendy screamed, as then the Dorma Anim unleashed another roar from its mouth, forcing Wendy to jump away to dodge the blast.
A line of explosions was made where the beam had struck, the force sending her away to a broken wall, but Natsu managed to grab her just in time.
"I got you!" Natsu said, and Wendy turned up to him with a smile. "Thanks, Natsu!" Wendy said. "It's way too soon to celebrete just yet!" Natsu said, as they landed on the ground.
Gajeel soon got up from the crater, as Faust Prepared to land another blow with the Dorma Anim´s arm, but Natsu and Wendy weren't gonna let him do that.
They both took deep breaths, as they then proceeded to send their respective breath attack on Faust.
"Abyss Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu roared.
"Sky Dragon´s Roar!" Wendy said, mimicking her fellow Dragon Slayer´s breath attack.
Their respective attacks charged towards the machine dragon, having the mad king inside of it, striking him head on, as it managed to send it away a bit.
"Don't count me out just yet!" Gajeel said, as he then jumped towards the Dorma Anim, his hands turned into blades.
"Take this! Iron Dragon´s Mad Slash!" Gajeel said, slashing repeatedly at the Dorma Anim with his blade-like arms. Natsu and Wendy charged towards him, as Natsu had his Kuroryuken in hands, and Wendy pulled back her fist.
"Sky Dragon´s Iron Fist!" Wendy said, punching the Dorma Anim in its face.
"Abyss Dragon´s Blade: Nightmare Slash!" Natsu said, as he sent a wave of darkness at the Dorma Anim.
Their attacked caused the Dorma Anim to be sent back, landed on its back on the ground. Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy stood still for a moment in silence, before it then came back on its feet, standing over it like a predator does to its prey.
"You honestly thought something like that could take me down?!" Faust said, as the Dorma Anim then proceeded to swap its arm again.
As it came towards the trio, Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel managed to dodge it, with Wendy jumping into the air, while Natsu and Gajeel ducked.
"You think you can scare me?! You think you can take away my throne that rightfully belongs to me!" Faust roared as he slammed his mechanical paws down the ground.
"As if that rightfully belongs to you! An insane bastard like you is nowhere worthy of being one!" Natsu shouted.
"And what do you know, ignorant scum! I was born with the blood of royalty! I can do whatever I want, every word I say are the Law itself, and anyone who goes against me, are nothing but pure evil!" Faust declared arrogantly.
"You really think you can get away with that?!" Wendy said. "Oh, just watch!" Faust said, as he flied up in the air with the Dorma Anim, as he then charged another Dragon´s Roar, this time directed to the battlefield.
"Hey, what the hell are you..." Natsu said, as then Faust fired another beam at the battlefield, striking both Edolas Fairy Tail wizards and even Edolas soldiers.
"Hey, your men... " Gajeel said, as he, Natsu and Wendy watched in horror of what he just did.
"It's a war, so of course there's gonna be death! They were in my way, and they should be honored to die by their king´s hand!" Faust said, before laughing like a manic.
Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel turned angry glares at the king who laughing.
"You really think you can do it, just because you are king?!" Natsu shouted in rage.
"You think I cannot? Then how about this!" Faust said, as he sent another roar, this time going towards a town, much to the horror of the three Dragon Slayers.
"Hey, don't tell me that..." Gajeel said, as Faust was smiling.
At the Royal City, the citizens saw something towards.
"Hey, something is coming towards the city." One of the citizens said, another one spoke too.
"Yeah, it looks like a..." The citizen said, but before he could finish his sentence, the beam came and struck one of the large buildings, causing panic among the citizens.
The citizens ran away from the debris, with one of the blocks falling down to young, brown haired woman with her brown haired daughter, holding her tight at the incoming blocks.
But they were shoved away in the last second, as the block shattered on impact.
The mother and the daughter looked up to see Edolas Gajeel was the one who saved him.
"Don't mind me, I am just a Freelance Writer, happening to be nearby." Edolas Gajeel said. "You better run, because this is far from over." Edolas Gajeel said, as the mother and daughter thanked him, before running away.
"Whatever the results of this battle will be, this will forever change Edolas." Edolas Gajeel thought, seeing the citizens run. "You better win this, Gajeel." Edolas Gajeel thought.
Faust laughed through the Dorma Anim, as Wendy was shocked at he just had done. Natsu and Gajeel´s glares were more intense than before.
"Did you see that?! As a king, I won't face any consequences! I can always blame this on you Earthlanders, as I will be hailed as a hero for generations to come!" Faust boasted.
"Faust... you will pay for what you have done!" Natsu said, a dark aura around himself, with Gajeel and Wendy backing him up, their anger dwelling up, ready to make the King pay for what he has done.
"Then show your anger to be, your rage won't scare me, as I am the King of Edolas!" Faust declared.
At the same time, with Erza vs Knightwalker...
(Play Fairy Tail Ost - Against Magic)
The two red-headed warriors were both panting from their battle.
Knightwalker stood her Sacrifar in her hand, despite sweating and covered in scars and blood.
Erza, was covered in scars as well, with her Flame Empress Armor cracked. With them both glaring intensely at each other, neither of them showing any signs of slowing down, but both knowing that they needed to end this battle, and fast.
The silence was finally broken with Erza speaking.
"You really think that rage is enough to win?" Erza said. "You think you know better? You think you know what this world have been through? I have lived my entire life in this world, while you have only been here for less than a day." Knightwalker.
"For too long this world have been suffering, and it's my duty to be there for it!" Knightwalker said.
"Then show me. Show me your true power. Show me the power of the greatest warrior of Edolas!" Erza said.
"What are you talking about...?" Knightwalker said, as she jumped towards her counterpart, her Sacrifar Spear pulled back.
"I am already showing my true power!" Knightwalker said, as in the next second, she was behind Erza.
Erza´s swords and armor broke to pieces in a explosion, much to the delight of Knightwalker, as she smiled, thinking she had won. But that was short-lived, as in the next second, the tip of her Sacrifar was destroyed.
"What...?" Knightwalker said in shock. "I told you, you are not fighting at your full power." Erza said, her eyes focused on her current enemy.
Knightwalker had her eyes shadowed, until she then spoke.
"Fine. You got me there." Knightwalker said, as her spear then changed into another one of its form.
Its spear head now had its blade in a straight blade, with four curved edges, both going inwards and downwards, separated by a golden arrow that extended out horizontally, with a red sphere within diamond shaped figure, as the grip of the spear appeared to be held in place by small a teeth-like decoration, connecting the staff.
"Ravelt. This is the strongest form of my Ten Commandments. It's a Sacred Lance formed by the greatest smith of Edolas." Knightwalker said, pointing Ravelt at Erza.
"Your days are now numbered, Scarlet. Choose your last words wisely." Knightwalker said.
"I see. If that's the case..." Erza said, her body covered with a white light, as it then died down, as she was now in her Armadura Fairy Armor.
"Then I shall now fight in one of my strongest armors, the Armadura Fairy Armor, which also symbolizes my pride as a Fairy Tail wizard." Erza said.
"Then without further, let's finish this, Scarlet." Knightwalker said. "Same with you." Erza said, as they both jumped towards each other, as Erza pulled back her sword.
Their screams filled the scene, as Knightwalker´s spear were now emitted with a powerful wave of energy, while Erza charged towards her with her sword covered in green energy.
"Fairy Burst!" Erza said, as she came through with a powerful piercing attack at Knightwalker.
Their weapons clashed in a bright, powerful flash of power. It the flash quickly died, as it showed that both Erza and Knightwalker were facing each other's backs.
In the next second, Knightwalker´s Ravelt were snapped it half, as it fell to the ground in the pieces.
"As much I hate to say it, but to be honest, you did pretty well, Scarlet." Knightwalker said.
"Same to you." Erza said, as her Armor and Sword broke to pieces.
The both fell on their ground, panting.
"But you aren't done yet, are you?" Erza said, as then Knightwalker came charging towards her, her fist in the air.
"Of course I'm not!" Knightwalker said, as she proceeded to punch Erza in the face. Erza then sent a punch to Knightwalker´s stomach, who in returned sent another punch to her face.
They continued to send punches to each other´s faces, blow after blow hitting each other.
"Is that all you got, Scarlet? I can go on this all day you know!" Knightwalker said, trading blows.
"You think you can defeat me?! Just because you have the power of you so called friends?!" Knightwalker said, sending another blow at Erza, who didn't show any signs of slowing down at all.
"There is more than that. I am doing this so that no one can die! Unlike you, who have everyone she meets dies by their hand!" Erza said, landing another blow on Knightwalker.
"I am there for my friends, and my comrades are there for me! It's where I gain my determination, my power, my reason to live! With them safe, I have no reason to live in fear!" Erza said, remembering the hard times they went on, being the Phantom Lord war, the Tower of Heaven incident, the Battle of Fairy Tail and the Oración Seis fight.
"I am not gonna fall right here and now!" Erza said, giving an uppercut to Knightwalker´s chin, sending her back.
"Open your heart, Erza! You are not alone, and you can realize if you know who you are!" Erza said, as a glaring Knightwalker charged at her.
They traded punches like wild animals, each blow getting heavier after one another other.
Soon enough, they each landed one final punch each other faces. A moment of silence was in the scene, before the then both fell down on the ground, their backs on the ground.
Panting while they looked up the sky, the both were on their limits.
"As much I hate to admit it, I cannot go on any longer." Knightwalker said turning to Erza.
"It seems I can't go on any longer either." Erza said.
"As with that, it seems that you are the victor here. I yield. You have shown to be a great warrior, Scarlet." Knightwalker said, as she acknowledged her counterparts´ strength, even smiling.
Erza smiled, as she then turned to the direction to where Natsu and the others were fighting Faust in the Giant Dragon Armor.
"Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel. It's now up to you. If you win this, then our victory is for sure. So don't lose now." Erza thought, hope in her eyes.

(Play Fairy Tail ost - Natsu Theme)
With Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel fighting Faust, the king sent another barrage of missiles at the three Dragon Slayers.
"Incoming!" Wendy said, as the missiles went towards them, as another explosion came following by.
"You asshole!" Gajeel said, turning his arm in a bladed pole, sending several spears at the machine dragon, who swiped away the iron spears coming at him.
"Useless!" Faust said, proceeded to punch Gajeel with his claw, as then Wendy held out her arms, glowing green.
"Armor!" Wendy said, as Gajeel was covered in a green aura, empowering his defenses, as the attack did less damage than intended.
"Not done yet! Vernier!" Wendy said, as he increased the speed of Natsu.
"Thank you, Wendy!" Natsu said, as then proceeded to slash repeatedly at a fast speed at the Dorma Anim, sending several black energy slashes towards him.
As the black energy slices struck him, the Dorma Anim was pushed back, with Gajeel sending another roar at him.
"Iron Dragon´s Roar!" Gajeel said, sending a roar towards Faust, hitting him dead on.
Eventually, Natsu stopped slashing as he and Gajeel stood alongside Wendy, as despite the damage, The Dorma Anim was not done yet.
(End Fairy Tail ost here)
"You have done quite some damage on me; I give you that. But how about I turn this thing a notch, shall we?" Faust said, spreading his arms the armor began to change and transform.
"Black Sky!" Faust said, as a bright light were emitted, which died down and showed the new form of the Dorma Anim.
It now stood straight, had being now made of a black-colored metal, had now a long, silver colored, ringed tail coming from its back, silver-colored claws and had beneath the shield like structure over it, shoulder pads in the form of pedals on top of each other. On its right hand, it has a large, silver-colored blade, with a fan on the right side of its elbow, and its entire left arm was a blade as well, had pipe like horns on its head, beneath its glowing red eyes.
"What do you think of this? Think you still can take me down?!" Faust said, swinging his sword-like arms as the ground then exploded beneath the three Dragon Slayers, sending them to the air.
"Take this, Scum! Dragon Blast Eruption!" Faust said, he then swung it's the sword arms again, sending Natsu flying to the wall.
"NATSU!" Wendy screamed.
"Void Knight!" Gajeel shouted, before then he saw stomped on the ground, and Wendy was send crashing down the ground.
"What do you think, Earthland scum?! This is the power the King has. There is no way you can stop me! This is what the king can do! Your fate was sealed the moment you stood your ground against me!" Faust declared with a boastful tone.
"Dammit, where do you get that much power from?" Natsu asked. "Glad you ask, Boy. The reason this was forbidden to be used in the first place, was it absorbed all the Magic in Edolas." Faust said, shocking Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel.
"What...?!" Wendy said. "You bastard, you're absorbing the Magic of the very world you sworn to protect?" Gajeel said, as Faust stomped him harder.
"Who asked you, boy?! I am the king, I can do whatever I want! The likes of you cannot understand that! You are not of royal blood! I can always blame it on you Earthlanders, having the people and the army swore their loyalty to me!" Faust declared.
"Royal or not, I will make sure you will pay!" Natsu declared as well, pointing his sword at Faust.
"I will make sure you pay for your arrogance, boy. With your own life!" Faust said.
"You think so, you old bastard!" Gajeel said, as Faust turned to him, and saw something that shocked him.
Gajeel was chewing on the metal of the Dorma Anim´s feet, like it was a snack.
"I say, for Edolas Metal, they sure have a great taste." Gajeel said.
"You..." Faust said, as then Wendy appeared before him and kicked him the face!
"Like Natsu said, we won't let you go of this unpunished, king or not! We Fairy Tail wizards won't go down without a fight, in this world, ours or the next!" Wendy said.
"Sure, we picked a fight with the king, but the king made the mistake of making an enemy of us!" Natsu said who came rushing towards him with his sword.
Gajeel broke free from being stomped by Faust, as then proceeded to give Faust an uppercut with his fist of iron.
It hit him head on, as Natsu began to send attack after attack on Faust with his sword, as Gajeel sent punch after punch at him, before they were sent away with them, which Wendy rushed towards them.
"Guys! Are you okay?!" Wendy asked. "Yeah, but this guy is sure tough for being old. Then, gramps is one tough guy too, as he would whoop the floor with him." Natsu said.
"We need to unleash a big ass attack on this asshole, and fast!" Gajeel said. "Then I suggest we unleash our Dragon´s Roar at the same time." Wendy said. "Well, seeing how low we are on options here, be better do it." Natsu said. "Sounds good to me." Gajeel said.
"Whatever you fools are up to, it won't be of any use!" Faust said, as he came charging towards them.
The three Dragon Slayers took a deep breath, their chest puffed up and their cheeks enlarged, as preparing their next attacks.
"Abyss Dragon´s..."
"Iron Dragon´s..."
"Sky Dragon´s..."
"Useless!" Faust said charging.
"ROAR!" The trio of Dragon Slayers all came shouting together, one stream of iron shards, one of wind and one of darkness all came towards Faust, much to his horror.
A big and mighty explosion was erupted, being heard and seen from miles away.
Silence was in the scene, as Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel were standing there, panting.
"Did we get him?" Natsu said. "I don't know, but I hope so. That guy was a really annoying pain." Gajeel said. Wendy then looked up in the sky, her eyes widen in horror.
"Wendy, what's wrong...?" Natsu said, as he was silent as well, as he, Gajeel and Wendy all looked up at the sky.
"You gotta be kidding me..." Gajeel said, as in the air, were the Dorma Anim, floating in the sky.
It then came down with a dashing speed, crashing and causing a large explosion, sending the group away.
"You really thought you could take me down with that? Know your place, scum!" Faust said, the three Dragon Slayers were now on the ground.
"Dammit, is this really the end...?" Gajeel said, memories of his life flashed before his eyes. "Is this the end for us...?" Wendy said, as she remembered moments of her life before them. As things were turned grim for them, one certain Dragon Slayer got up, standing above his fellow Dragon Slayers.
"And you really think we are gonna give up that easily? Think again!" Natsu declared. "Fairy Tail, either of this world or the next, won't give up to you!" Natsu said.
Gajeel grinned as he got up, as Wendy smiled as she got up well.
"Well, I don't want to die in a place like this, so I better not die here then." Gajeel said.
"I cannot face Carla, even after I died here, if I lost here." Wendy said.
"These fools won't go down... but with them running out of Magic, I will take them down, right here and now!" Faust said, as he prepared on final attack, but then suddenly Gajeel went and grabbed his tail, pinning down the ground.
"As if I let you!" Gajeel said, as he proceeded to pin the Dorma Anim to the ground.
"Let me go!" Faust demanded, as then Natsu held his sword. "Wendy, can you do more of these Enchantment you did earlier?" Natsu asked. "Yeah, but can you handle it on your own?" Wendy asked.

"I am betting this all one shot here. I am counting on you, Wendy." Natsu said.
"I won't fail you." Wendy said, as she proceeded to prepare her next Spells.
"Arms!" Wendy said, enchanting Natsu´s offensive power. "Vernier!" Wendy said, enchanted his speed. "Armor!" Wendy said, enchanting his defense.
"Alright, Kuroshi. You think can handle this?" Natsu thought. "Not a problem, even if its different world, I won't fall down that easily." Kuroshi said. "And sounds quite the honor to be able to break something from another world." Kuroshi said.
"Alright, here I come, Faust! This will finish it!" Natsu said, as then used Take Over Magic engulfed him. "Take Over: Satan Soul: Deliora!" Natsu said, transforming into his empowered form charging towards him. As he did so, the darkness on his blade grow more and more, as he came without any hesitation.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Faust said in frustration, struggling in vain to break free.
"You better finish him now, Void Knight!" Gajeel said.
"I will. I will make this old bastard pay, for everything he has done! To the people, to the Fairy Tail guild of this world, and making enemies of Fairy Tail of Earthland!" Natsu said, as he was now in front of him.
"These scums..." Faust thought, as now before him, he thought he saw three dragons.
One was white with bird-like wings; one was a dragon of iron, and one black, with a whtie mante and horns, now standing before the now might-less King.
"Take this! Abyss Dragon´s Blade Secret Art: Crescent Black!" Natsu said, swinging his blade, as the massive black blade struck the Dorma Anim, cutting in horizontally in half, separating its upper and lower body!
Natsu then proceeded to cut the Dorma Anim´s right arm off, and then its left arm, as then cut proceeded to cut the upper piece open, from the head to its stomach, showing the King, now more frightened than ever.
"This can't be... I am the king, I am the king!" Faust said, as Natsu pulled back his sword.
"King? Yeah, here´s your crown!" Natsu said, swinging his sword, and cutting the king in half, from his left shoulder to his right waist, cutting him in half!
Before the pieces of Faust´s body could land on the ground, Natsu proceeded to impale Faust on the throat with his sword, ending the Mad King life once and for all.
The rest of the pieces of the Dorma Anim fell on the ground behind Natsu in a clash, smoke appeared around the scene.
Natsu stood over the corpse of the king, with Gajeel at his side, with Wendy standing away, silence as she had her hands before her face.
(End My Hero Academia ost here)
"Well, well, welll. We did it Void Knight." Gajeel said, as Natsu turned to Wendy, who was silent and a little worried, turning off his Take Over Magic. He then ran towards her, and Wendy didn't move a muscle. Natsu was afraid that Wendy was scared of him, as despite Faust was a mad man, Wendy were to see Natsu as a cold blooded murderer.
"Wendy!" Natsu said, hugging her. "Natsu..." Wendy said in a shocked tone. "I am sorry you had to see that." Natsu said. "It's okay Natsu. I know you did your best. You are not that kind of person, I know." Wendy said, hugging him back. She knew Natsu was not a monster like Zero or Faust, and Natsu would never become like them.
"But now what?" Gajeel said, as then Natsu noticed something. "Is it just me, or are the islands falling down?" Natsu said.
And that concludes this chapter! Man, this was longer than I originally thought. Please review, favorite and follow.
With Thorson and Knightwalker defeated, And King Faust dead, showing the result of the Faust Poll, with him dying was the one who was won.
As through the chapter, I had Knightwalker use the Forms of the Ten Commandments of one of Hiro Mashima´s other Works, Rave Master, being Million Suns, Eisen Meteor and Sacrifar. Since Hiro Mashima didn't show all the forms, I took the opportunity to do so.
I also like the thank my dear friend altajir95 for his Ideas for Mystogan´s Spells, being:
Seven Layered Magic Circle: Iridescent Barrier.
Nine Layered Circle Magic: Flying Echo Step.
Four Layered Magic Circle: Karmic Lightning.
Seven Layered Circle Magic: Holy Hymn.
I hope I made a good job at displaying them.
So yeah, the next chapter will be the final chapter of the Edolas Arc of this story.
Another thing I want to declare is of my next story, Demon´s Power, which will be a rewrite of Inner Power, which shall be released this year.
But yeah, so until then, see you all later!
