AngryHenry – Yeah I mean maybe I upscaled her a bit but here's how I look at it, Wendy was strong but she also had the combat experience that Chelia lacked that's why I had Wendy landing way more hits on Chelia and at one point tossing her around.

Chelia's God Slayer Healing Factor is what kept her in the game in the first place without it she probably would have been done when Wendy emerged from the hole in the arena wall and hit her in the gut, combined with the near limitless stamina God Slayers possess I simply used that for Chelia to use her final attack which was able to match Wendy's.

If Chelia wasn't a God Slayer Wendy would have destroyed her easy with the Dragon Force, really the only up scaling I'd say I really did was her final attack the rest I find believable especially since in this fic many characters are either stronger or weaker than their canon counterparts the God Slayers being no exception.

Penguini411 – Its coming after the conclusion of the games the Council is heading back to Era at this point in the story so it is coming.

ChaosofTime – It's because Achnologia was too busy cackling madly in the hills with Zeref haha!

I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.

The Grand Magic Games: Day Five!

/City Of Crocus Natsu's POV/

Natsu had been enjoying his sleep in, the games weren't due to start until late afternoon so Natsu decided to take that time to catch up on some rest. He'd managed to make it to midday but it seems fate just wasn't going to let him have those last few hours as Jellal appeared in the room.

"Natsu wake up I need to speak with you."

Natsu just groaned and threw a pillow at him as Jellal sighed and shook his head.

"I didn't want to do this Natsu but I'll have to resort to Plan B," he said as he pulled Meredy out from behind him and tossed her at him and she landed on Natsu.

"Wake up Natsu we've got work to do," Meredy chanted cheerfully as Natsu groaned.

"The day I get to sleep in will be the day I'm double gramps' age, where the hell did you come from anyway Meredy I only saw Jellal before?"

"He brought me along since you'll need my magic to communicate with each other."

"Yeah I get that but what I mean is where did you come from I didn't see you in the room?"

"That's not important Natsu but what is important is those two from Leichart have vanished, the fact they both suddenly disappeared means only one thing in my mind."

Natsu sighed as he pushed Meredy off him and sat up. "Yeah it means they're making a move … it makes sense since the final part of the games will have all the guilds tied up in one place and random surges of magical power won't be deemed suspicious."

"We need to locate the two from Leichart before they reach the Eclipse Gate do you think you can track them your nose is the best in the kingdom?"

"I'll give it my best shot but give me a minute to get some things together alright we'll need more than four people to deal with these guys for sure you can't use Sema in the centre of Crocus after all."

"Alright Meredy and I will be waiting at the hideout with Ultear, your guild has begun to assemble at Domus Flau so I would hurry before they get a bigger head start than they already have."

"Right I'm on it."

"Oh and one more thing Meredy use the Maguilty Mind Link so Natsu and I can stay in contact."

"Oh of course," Meredy said as she clicked her fingers and a seal appeared behind Natsu's ear that was in the shape of a brain.

"Just think and we can communicate alright Natsu," Jellal said as he and Meredy left.

'Right I'll let you know when I've got some friends alright.'

'Understood and if you pick up any sign of either of the Leichart break off and pursue them instead we can't let them slip through our grasp.'

Natsu mentally nodded as he requiped into his jeans, shirt and leather jacket combo and was out the window running towards Domus Flau.

/Domus Flau/

Natsu had arrived at Domus Flau after ten minutes of nonstop running and began racing towards the guilds viewing box, Natsu slowed to a brisk walk as he got closer so as to not alert anyone that he was actually in a hurry.

"Oh hey look who finally got out of bed," Elise said with a smirk as Natsu sighed.

"I feel so unlucky to have to be participating in this thing today otherwise I would've slept in with you Natsu," Erza pouted as Natsu gave her a quick kiss before becoming serious.

"Don't dawdle in todays games things are starting to heat up, I don't have a lot of time here and I probably won't be watching the fights I need to know who was participating in this thing again."

The two looked at each other before nodding.

"Well Erza and I are in this and so is Wendy, Laxus and Gray were the last two I think," Elise said as Natsu nodded.

"Alright so I'll take Gajeel and Mira with me those two should be able to fight against those guys with our help."

"You mean the L-?"

"Yes them," Natsu said to Elise cutting her off. "Too many ears Elise we'll discuss this later just thrash everyone in this thing as fast as you can alright so you all can join me."

"You seem quite concerned Natsu is everything ok?"

"Erza anything to do with Dark Magic is automatically an S Class threat no matter how you look at it and this one involves a Gate that I'm not sure what it was designed for but it can't be good."

"Well you'd better be safe Natsu and keep that idiot safe too alright?"

"Yeah I told him no dropping meteors on the city so it should be fine," Natsu said with a grin as he walked over to Gajeel who was speaking with Levy.

"Hey Salamander how's it- what's goin down," Gajeel said as he noticed Natsu's seriousness.

"I need your help with something and Mira too could you give me a hand?"

"Sure … sorry shrimp you know Salamander here doesn't ask for help unless he needs it I'll talk later alright."

"Ok but you'd better not get into any trouble you two!"

"No maam," Natsu and Gajeel said as they made their way over to Mira who was sitting next to Makarov.

"Oi Mira I need your help with a … important job."

"So they've made their move my boy," Makarov asked not taking his eyes off his drink.

"They escaped surveillance and vanished it looks like something's gonna go down."

"Excuse me but what's this all about," Mira asked confused.

"Mirajane go with Natsu and Gajeel this is a very delicate situation, Natsu will fill you in on the way I'm sure."

"Alright Master," Mira said as the three left the stadium and began walking back to the city.

/City Of Crocus/

After arriving back in town Natsu lead the two down an alley and stopped before facing the two.

"Alright this should be an alright place to discuss this but we've got a situation with some monstrously powerful mages that's potentially going to go down today and I need your help."

"Alright so give us the rundown on what's goin on," Gajeel said as Mira nodded.

"Right so you both know of the kingdom of Alvarez right?"

"The one that seems to be invading other countries and taking them over," Mira asked as Natsu nodded.

"Yeah there are two of their high ranking officers here in Crocus somewhere, the other day during the games Jellal engaged them after they slaughtered a mother and child looking for the husband who was a guard at the palace."

"That's awful," Mira gasped in shock whilst Gajeel just grit his teeth.

"Their goal is an artefact of Zeref's known as the Eclipse Gate that is being guarded by the royal family themselves; the King himself knows of the situation and Gajeel … it's linked to the Dragon King Festival."

"Fuck …," Gajeel said shocked as he ran his hands through his hair. "If it's as bad as what Mettalicana told me then we need to stop these psychos before they kill us all!"

"Yeah well I've had Crime Sorciere keeping tabs on them but apparently they've just vanished which means they are making a move on the gate so we need to find them and stop them before they can activate it."

"Say no more Natsu I may not know what this Dragon King Festival is but the idea of Dark Mages causing chaos in the city is enough for me to want to fight!"

"Good now Jellal, Ultear and Meredy will be with us on this. You might be thinking that this many people against two of them will be easy but the older one Varnik took a meteor to the face and was still able to fight. In addition even with all of us he might be able to beat us using his magic but that is still debatable."

"There's no use talking about that scenario until it happens, let's meet up with the others now and make a plan on the way," Mira said as the two nodded and began to run towards the hideout.

'Jellal I've got Mirajane and Gajeel with me I filled them in and we're on our way to the hideout.'

'Alright Natsu we'll get ready to leave as soon as you get here,' Jellal replied as Natsu closed of the mind link.

/Domus Flau – 6:00PM/

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the final day of the Grand Magic Games, we've certainly had some action the last few days and yesterday's climactic battle left even myself and Mr Yajima shocked to the point of fainting but take it from me today will blow that out of the water!"

The crowd began to cheer as Yajima spoke up.

"Yes there will only be one event today but it will be full of excitement, in this event all the teams will be going up against each other trying to eliminate each other from the competition until there is only one guild left standing!"

"So for a massive event like this one our gracious King has allowed the use of Crocus itself as the battlefield can you believe it folks," Chapati added.

"Indeed and all the teams have assembled at their starting points and are awaiting the signal to begin, who will come out on top as the strongest guild in Fiore well you'll find out in a few moments. Let the final match commence," Yajima shouted enthusiastically as the crowd roared in approval.

/City Of Crocus – 6:05PM/

"So this thing is finally kicking off huh," Laxus said with a smirk as he began to walk off.

Erza looked at Elise and the two nodded before turning to Gray and Wendy.

"Listen don't screw around with anyone here take them out hard and fast if you can there are far too many opponents to waste too much time on," Elise said as the two nodded.

"I want to find that guy from Highfather I fought earlier and kick his ass," Gray said as he too walked off.

"Umm are you sure I should do that … you saw what I did to the stadium yesterday?"

"Listen Wendy we trust you to know how to use your own power just as Natsu does, don't allow yourself to be eliminated and make us all proud ok," Erza said as Wendy nodded.

"Alright I can do that I just hope you're right about me being able to use my power properly," Wendy said as she took off down a side street.

When it was only the two of them left they looked at each other before smirking.

"The usual?"

"You bet!"

"Whoever beats the least amount of opponents owes the other a favour to do whatever they want for a whole day!"

"You're on," Erza said as the two vanished from sight on the lacrima vision.

/Laxus's POV – 6:11PM/

'Man I hope I run into someone strong I'm really itching for a fight.'

Laxus sighed as he walked around a corner and came face to face with a fight between Risley of Mermaid Heel and Ren of Blue Pegasus.

"So lame …"

Cracking his knuckles Laxus began to walk forward as sparks appeared around him prompting the two to realize that he was there and begin backing away.

"Sorry you two but I've got bigger fish to fry…"

/Gray's POV – 6:12PM/

Gray was walking along hoping to run into someone when a large bolt of yellow lightning shot down from the sky.

"Guess Laxus found someone … poor bastards," he muttered as he walked along with his hands in his pockets.

Walking into a park he noticed one of Sabertooth's members standing on top of a statue reading a book.

"Well now if it isn't one of the Fairy Tail mages … while it's true that your guild has proven itself far stronger than previously assumed I have no memory of the two of us ever doing battle. I wonder who will win this dance?"

"Depends I know nothing of your magic yet you know mine since you undoubtedly watched me during the first day of the games."

"Indeed but I'll throw you a bone … the magic I use is called Memory Make."

Gray raised an eyebrow as he took his hands out of his pockets. "Alright now you've got my attention."

"Allow me to offer a demonstration, Memory Make: A Night Of Falling Stars!"

The sky began to darken as Rufus began to glow before large beams of pure light erupted from his body and shot towards Gray who began dodging them however the last one grazed his arm.

"My magic allows me to memorize the spells I've seen before and utilize them in battle … that spell was taken from an enemy mage I fought whilst on a job."

"I see … then let's see how you handle my own Maker Magic," Gray said with a grin as a cold wind began to blow through the area and ice began to form in certain spots.

"Interesting it seems you can use your magic without the use of your hands … you will be a fitting opponent."

Gray just smirked as the two stared each other down all the while the cold breeze blew freezing the area.

/Elise's POV 6:32PM/

After eliminating a mage from Blue Pegasus and a Mage from Lamia Scale Elise was casually walking through the town looking relatively bored. Her boredom didn't last long however as she came across Rogue from Sabertooth who was currently using the night to his advantage and getting around by being a shadow.

Summoning a small knife Elise tossed it at the shadow prompting it to shoot up out of the ground and fire several blasts of shadow at her which she easily dodged; Rogue then rose up from the Shadow and faced Elise.

"You are a Slayer from Fairy Tail … you are also strong I can sense it. I cannot back down however I must fight for my guild even if we no longer have a Master."

"No longer have a Master," Elise asked confused.

"Jiemma … he did something to Sting that was unforgivable … he killed Lector right in front of all of us just for having the guild mark … Sting snapped and blew a hole clean through him. Lady Minerva wasn't fast enough to save Lector with her own magic and now Sting mourns his death …"

"That sounds awful I'm sorry that happened …"

"You need not offer pity for we do not deserve it … Lector's death has made us realize just how foolish we really were revelling in our parents deaths … Lady Minerva asked Sting not to participate but he refused saying the fight will be his way of letting off some steam."

"Listen I do offer my condolences about your friend Lector it sounds like you two cared about him, I suppose though that both of you will grow from the experience as harsh as it sounds."

"It doesn't hurt me as much as it does Sting, Lector meant the world to him and his death has brought him great pain …"

"Rogue that is enough I told you and Sting not to dwell on that," a woman said as she emerged from a strange rainbow coloured sphere in the air.

"I apologize Lady Minerva but it weighs heavily on our minds … if that were Frosch-!"

"Listen Rogue I understand that the two of you are struggling but here isn't the place to be speaking of such things," Minerva said as she turned to face Elise. "Given the way Sabertooth has treated Fairy Tail throughout the games I am deeply grateful that you are kind enough not to use knowledge of Lector's death against Rogue … all of Sabertooth received a large wakeup call last night and I think things will begin to change soon."

"You know there is one person who needs that apology of yours and that's Yukino … for the last week she's just hung around us putting on a brave face but inside she's deeply hurt by what happened to her … if you truly mean what you say then after the games you should go and apologize to her."

"Indeed … but for now we are in a tournament and as such we shouldn't discuss such matters, Rogue you go I'll be her opponent."

"But Lady Minerva-!"

"No buts Rogue … just go," Minerva said softly as Rogue turned into a shadow once more and disappeared leaving the two.

"The truth is I just don't want to see that man get hurt … I'm going soft."

"Not really fighting to protect often brings out your best."

"Is that so … then let us test this theory," Minerva said as she created two strange rainbow spheres in her hands as Elise slowly began to transform and her eyes turned crimson.

/Wendy's POV 6:45PM/

Wendy hadn't found anyone since the match began which surprised her greatly, running down each street she had either been too late to catch an opponent or there simply wasn't anyone there.

Stopping to catch her breath Wendy suddenly noticed Sting just sitting on some boxes looking like he was in deep thought, Wendy being her usual self walked over to him and stood in front of him.

"Um excuse me but you do know this is a tournament right?"

Sting looked at Wendy and she noticed his eyes seemed rather hardened, gone was any trace of the cockiness that was the Sting she fought and in its place were eyes that reminded her of someone … Natsu.

"Yeah I know I'm just … waiting."

"What exactly are you waiting for?"

"For a sign."

Wendy looked at Sting confused as he continued to speak.

"A sign that'll tell me what I should do now that Lector's gone …"

"Was Lector the brown Exceed that was always with you?"

"Yeah … he was murdered by Jiemma," Sting growled.

"Oh my goodness why would someone do such a thing!"

"Because that's the way the world is … it took me until that moment to realize the injustice that it is, the weak are killed by the strong because they have the power to do so. Lector was just trying to stick up for me like a friend and Jiemma killed him … weak pathetic creature he called him! An embarrassment to the Sabertooth name and he destroyed him so much so that there wasn't even a body left!"

Wendy just gasped in shock as Sting let a few tears fall.

"I was in anguish over his death until I thought back on something Yukino told me once back when she was in the guild, all the power in the world is useless if you use it for yourself but using it to protect that which you hold close will give you the strength to topple even the mightiest mountain. I laughed at her for saying that but now that I'm here her words keep playing in my mind … I wonder how Yukino is doing now anyway?"

"She's been with our guild the last couple of days she tries to look happy but you can tell she's still torn up about what happened to her."

"Of course she is … Yukino is a kind and gentle person just like Lector and Frosch, we didn't deserve her in our guild."

"You know it isn't too late to fix things an apology would go a long way and might make her feel a bit better."

"I might … after all this …"

"You know those eyes of yours remind me of Natsu's," Wendy said as Sting looked up at her with wide eyes. "He never tells anyone but I know he's been through hell, his body alone is proof of it when you see the countless scars he has from many battles he's fought. But the look in your eyes reminds me of one that Natsu has sometimes when he just looks out at nothing in particular and it scares me sometimes."

"Do you think he lost someone he cared about too?"

"If I've heard things correctly I'd say he's lost a lot of people he cares about many who he's known for over a decade, Natsu is someone I aspire to be like because no matter what you throw at him he just comes back stronger than ever and never gives up."

"You know those aren't such bad words to live by … take what life throws at you and come back twice as strong and make sure you never give up. You know that oddly enough sounds like something Lector would tell me at a time like this …"

Sting stood up and walked past Wendy and out into the street before turning and facing her.

"Fight me Wendy … I want to feel what it's like … fighting for my friends."

Wendy smiled and made her way opposite him as the magic pressure began to build in the area.

'That'll be my promise to you Lector I'll fight to protect everyone, Rogue, Frosch, Orga, Rufus, Lady Minerva … Yukino …'

"I'll show you the new me the Sting that fights for his friends," Sting roared as he surrounded his arm in white and rushed Wendy who assumed a defensive stance.

/Laxus' POV – 7:10PM/

Laxus was currently grinning, after walking around the city for over an hour and not finding anyone worth fighting he just so happened to run into one of the people he was most looking forward to fighting.

"So who do you reckon would win a Lightning Dragon or a Lightning God, don't know about you but I'm pretty keen to find out," Orga said with a grin as he threw a punch that passed Laxus and tore up a city street.

"Please if you're gonna threaten somebody then do it properly," Laxus said as he threw his own lightning enhanced punch that tore through the buildings behind Orga.

"Speak for yourself," Orga said with a grin as the two began to let off sparks.

"Well now isn't this quite the party … mind if I join in?"

Orga smirked whilst Laxus remained composed.

'Oh great the monsters here …'

"Heh you can join in on the fun old timer we're just getting warmed up over here, let's see how strong you really are!"

"Oh is that a challenge?"

"You bet it is, let's settle the question that's on everyones minds! Who's better a Wizard Saint or a God Slayer!"

'You idiot you're falling right into the palm of his hand.'

"Let's see if you can handle this attack I'm coming at you full power," Orga said as he formed a black sphere of lightning in his hands and it began to expand in size.

"Lightning God's 400mm Black Lightning-!"

Faster than most could see Jura had cleared the distance between the two and with one attack slammed Orga's head into the ground leaving a large impact crater, the attack Orga had been charging was released into the air.

"One attack … such a shame."

'He just took out a God Slayer in one hit … this isn't looking too good.'

"Now then let's hope you can provide me with a bit more entertainment as the grandson of Makarov-."

"Alright you can stop right there no need for all the baggage … titles and relatives aside this is a fight between two ordinary mages … you and me."

Jura grinned at Laxus' response. "Very well put Laxus that is how it should be, show me the power you have worked so hard to attain!"

Laxus rushed Jura and had his fist coated in lightning, it was about to make contact with Jura's face when Laxus was smashed into the ground with enough force to shake the entire area making several buildings collapse.

"A commendable effort … but there is always one up above you in this world that is the way of things."

"Yeah … but you know … if there's one thing I've learned over the years it's that … you should ALWAYS WATCH THOSE WHO ARE AT YOUR FEET!"

Laxus uppercut Jura as the Wizard Saint was sent flying backwards several feet, recovering quickly as a small trickle of blood left his mouth he grinned and made several motions with his fingers and rocks began to shoot out from the ground at Laxus.

Laxus anticipating this cloaked himself in lighting and began to seemingly disappear and reappear in flashes of lightning.

"Yes show me a good fight Laxus!"

Laxus appeared in front of Jura and threw a punch that Jura blocked with his forearm, countering Jura punched Laxus in the face but as it connected Laxus cloaked his right fist in lightning and hit Jura in the side of the head full force sending him crashing through several buildings tearing up the ground as he went.

"I ain't gonna back down just because you hold some fancy title like Wizard Saint I fought Natsu so I sure as hell can fight you, Thunder Dragon's Roar!"

Unleashing a powerful breath attack that easily enveloped the city block Laxus had sent Jura crashing into Laxus noticed a giant pillar emerge above the roar and Jura jump over it.

"Iron Rock Fist!"

Coming down on Laxus he dodged the attack and Jura hit the ground shattering the ground around the entire area and causing what building were left standing to now be destroyed as the impact caused a small earthquake.

'Bastard's not playing around anymore … good means I don't have to either…'

Laxus cloaked himself in lightning once more and began making his way towards Jura's position as the Earth Mage bombarded him with everything he could throw at him.

/Erza's POV 7:30PM/

Erza could feel the two powerful forces clashing and she knew immediately who the two were and smiled.

"I guess Laxus is taking one for the team … Elise will be disappointed."

Erza looked down the road and her smile widened when she saw Kagura standing there across a bridge looking at her, making her way over Erza stopped at the opposite end of the bridge.

"You know I was kind of hoping this would happen," Erza said to which Kagura smiled slightly.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't keen on fighting you as well … no holding back from either of us alright?"

"Fine by me Kagura may the best mage win, Requip: Robes Of Yuen!"

Swords in hand the two stared at each other for a full minute before the two vanished and appeared at the opposite ends of the bridge, seconds later the bridge collapsed as it was sliced three ways two being from Erza's swords and one being Kagura's Archenemy.

The two quickly turned around and met in midair where the centre of the bridge once was, Erza pushed Kagura back as the two fell down and landed on opposite ends of the river bank.

The two began walking along the river swords raised at each other and ready to fight, after walking several metres it became a jog until finally they were running full speed.

The two began to occasionally meet in the river to trade a few blows and then separate as they fought all along the river leaving countless slash marks where their missed sword strikes were directed.

"You are indeed skilled Erza … we are evenly matched then again the warm up is about over."

"Agreed," Erza said as the two stopped running just as they reached the end of the river which had lead to one of the main streets near the centre of Crocus.

The two jumped out of the river and up onto the main road and assumed combat stances once more, they looked at each other for a moment before meeting each other half way in a clash.

'Kagura is definitely strong I wonder just how strong …'

As the two mages separated the shockwaves generated from the swords carved three straight slash marks through many of the buildings nearby as the two took several steps back.

"It's not often I get to fight someone in an actual duel most bandits and Dark Mages don't really honour those types of fights."

"Indeed I'm shaking with excitement myself Kagura your skill with Archenemy is nothing short of perfection."

"Shall we do a traditional duel then, one sword each?"

"Indeed, Requip: Clear Heart Clothing!"

Erza emerged from the light and held her Katana up as Kagura drew Archenemy and placed the flat of the blade across Erza's as the two formed an X shape.

"In accordance with the traditional rules of old the first to lose consciousness will be the loser and be at the mercy of the victor's whim," Kagura said.

"So mote it be on our honour as masters of the sword!"

The two swords began to glow a dark red colour which quickly faded.

"The oath has been made … I wonder when the last traditional duel was?"

"Who knows but let's have one that will be remembered Kagura," Erza said as she held the sword with both hands out in front of her.

"Of course," Kagura replied as the two held the blades to their sides and charged at each other bringing them up and clashing cracking the earth beneath them.

/City Of Crocus – 7:45PM/

As the guilds fought each other with such intensity and emotion that was rarely seen one guild was notably absent from the proceedings and hadn't been seen since the games started.

Natsu, Jellal and the others were currently tracking Varnik through the city being careful to avoid detection by other contestants in the games as they went.

Natsu sighed when they arrived at the gates to the palace, several powerful magical signatures were there and Natsu knew an inevitable fight was coming.

"You sense it too Natsu," Jellal said as Natsu nodded.

"We've got to make sure the royal family is safe too they're innocent in all this … come on," Natsu said as the group quickly slipped into the palace doing their best to ignore the slaughtered guards that littered the grounds of the palace.

Natsu tracked the scents to the throne room and motioned for the others to wait and then pointed to the mind link behind his ear as Jellal nodded.

Walking inside by himself Natsu noticed that the King and Hisui were being held captive by several Alvarez soldiers.

"Ah Natsu Dragneel so good of you to join us," Varnik said as he sat upon the throne.

"I doubt this is what you were searching for Varnik … let Toma and Hisui go …"

"And lose my advantage I think not … you see Natsu the wheels have already been set in motion for the gate to open all I need to do is buy some time."

At the click of his fingers the five members of the Highfather guild had assembled in front of him.

"You know you are a smart one Natsu I can see why many in Alverez speak of you so highly," a female voice said as the team leader of the Highfather guild Phyrra walked out from behind the throne.

"I knew you lot were up to something it was so obvious."

"Oh yes I knew that you were onto us but as things were you couldn't act … I must say you do possess quite the intimidating presence just standing there even as a blade is at your throat," Phyrra said as Verity appeared within a split second and had a blade at his throat.

Natsu didn't even flinch or look at Verity as he kept his eyes on Phyrra and Varnik.

"So you lot are really a part of Alvarez then."

"What gave it away," Phyrra said with a smirk. "I suppose formal introductions are in order all things considered, Phyrra Ashar of the Leichart 12 and currently under my command for the moment are four members of the Varnik Squad."

The girl who previously had a blade to his neck appeared in front of him however she still had it drawn.

"I'm Verity of the Crimson Blade, my title was earned thanks to my profession as an assassin for the Alvarez Empire. I am one of the fastest humans alive which makes me perfect for these types of missions."

"I'm Lysandre The Scorched Earth, I earned my title thanks to my magic which left nothing but desolate lands to enemies of the empire. I am a man who possesses the Lost Magic of elemental manipulation and can manipulate magma and lava to my will."

"I'm Soru and my magic is the Lost Magic known as Spatial Magic more specifically the art of manipulating the very space around one to my advantage. Such abilities earned me the title The Ever Shifting Abyss as that is the last my enemies ever see."

"And I'm Yamata and I possess the Lost Magic Judgement Hour, my magic is based on the exact hour of the day we are currently in and I possess different techniques depending on the time. My powers have earned me the moniker The Soluna Herald since my magic is based on the sun and moon respectively."

"You know what you are up against Dragneel so will you still resist Lord Spriggan's wishes," Varnik asked with an amused grin.

"You're magic abilities doesn't make you special hell half of your powers I've encountered before you won't stop me from saving this country by flaunting fancy titles and yammering on about your oh so great abilities!"

'Jellal change of plan send Gajeel, Meredy and Ultear to go to the Eclipse Gate that Granvill guy isn't here, myself, you and Mira will hold these guys off.'

'Understood we'll come in from the left hand side and free the King and Princess until then hold out as best you can since they seem to want to fight you.'

'Alright but you'd better not screw around,' Natsu internally sighed as he began to release his magical power.

"You would fight us all alone," Phyrra asked with an amused grin.

"Compared to a Herald of Achnologia you lot are chumps."

Natsu's dark red scales began to form and his wings took shape as the heat in the room intensified, King Toma and Princess Hisui watched on in shock as Natsu grinned savagely at the Alvarez forces in front of him.

"You reckon you've got the skills then come try me," Natsu said as the Varnik Squad rushed him.

Verity was the first to reach him going straight for his throat, before the blade made contact it was blocked by Natsu's scaled arm and the blade shattered.

"Impossible!"

"You might be fast but your blades aren't anything special at least nothing that can get through these scales!"

Natsu grabbed Verity by the neck and lifted her into the air as Soru appeared next to him using his Spatial Magic.

"You won't survive this!"

The space around Natsu began to morph and twist but once again Natsu just grinned away as he increased the amount of Crash Magic around him and cracks began to appear in Soru's spell and it shattered.

"Listen I get that you two are just kids … learn the flaws in your techniques before becoming cocky," Natsu said as he swung Verity around and launched her at Soru who was then knocked by from the force.

Natsu was about to advance on the two when Lysandre suddenly jumped above him and his leg was surrounded in magma.

"Burning Shot!"

Natsu raised his arm to block the attack and Lysandre's foot made contact, a bright light began to emenate from the attack as Lysandre's attack seemed to be struggling to get through Natsu's scales.

Natsu grinned as he used a scaled hand to grab Lysandre's leg and slam him into the ground.

"Against a normal opponent an attack like that would've been sufficient but there's one thing you didn't account for … I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer Igneel practically swam in this stuff it doesn't effect the scales in the slightest!"

Natsu then surrounded his leg in flames and kicked Lysandre back just as the two Alvarez soldiers collapsed, Natsu immediately went for Verity grabbing Lysandre as he flew and throwing him at Soru as a distraction.

Grabbing the back of Verity's head he smashed it into the ground and followed up by punching her in the back sending her through the floor and down to the floor below.

Whilst Natsu did that Jellal and Mira had grabbed King Toma and Hisui and had fled the room with the Varnik squad giving chase.

"So you didn't come alone … I suppose that was to be expected, no matter you are already too late," Varnik said as Natsu frowned.

"Indeed Granvill should have completed his task by now so all we need to do is detain you …"

"Good luck with that many have said that but all failed, you can't keep a Dragon down!"

"Do you really think you can take on two of the Leichart 12," Varnik asked as Natsu remained silent.

As Natsu faced the two down Mavis materialized next to him and looked at the situation worried for his safety, she knew Natsu knew she was there however he was sure not to give it away.

"There has to be a way I can help here …. Do you want me to get extra help?"

"Heh I really wish someone as strong as gramps were here right now then I wouldn't even need to use the Dragon Force against you two," Natsu said as Mavis nodded in understanding before vanishing.

'If it were a one on one I could win but two … I hope Mavis gets my message to gramps he's the only one who can help me right now since everyone else is tied up!'

"You seem quite arrogant of your power Dragneel let us show you your place in the grand scheme of things," Varnik said as he assumed a combat stance and Phyrra began to float as a strange black mist began to surround her.

Natsu watched as Phyrra's arm began to become all bone and the black mist began to take on the form of a cloak, in the hand that was all bone a scythe appeared that was clearly made from ebony and actual bone.

"Great this ought to be fun," Natsu groaned as Varnik cleared the distance between the two in a matter of seconds and hit Natsu.

Even though he blocked the attack it still had enough force to send him flying out the window, Natsu used the momentum to propel him and with several flaps of his wings he began to ascend only to meet Phyrra who then took a swing at him with her scythe.

"Ah shit," Natsu growled as he dodged under it and threw a punch at her which missed as he flew by.

Looking down at the city below Natsu was shocked to see Varnik sprinting through the city cracking the earth with each large step and literally running through buildings rather than go around them.

Natsu was so caught up with what Varnik was doing he failed to notice that Phyrra was forming a large black sphere on the end of her scythe.

"Shinigami Soul Sphere!"

Launching the sphere it hit Natsu just as he'd turned around hitting him right in the chest sending him crashing back to the earth as he tore up several streets worth of pavement and counting since the attacks was still pushing him further along.

"Gah what is this-!"

Natsu wasn't able to finish his sentence as Varnik kicked him in the ribs full force propelling him into the nearby buildings as they collapsed on top of him.

Phyrra landed next to Varnik as the two waited, after several moments the rubble began to lift into the air and shifted to the right as Natsu stood up slightly bloodied.

"Damn that actually hurt you bastards," Natsu said wiping some blood from his face.

'This definitely isn't gonna be good … hopefully help arrives soon or else I'm gonna have to use it.'

/Domus Flau – 8:10PM/

Makarov was enjoying the fights that his children were currently having, Gray was doing quite well against Rufus, Erza was locked in combat with Kagura and the two showed no signs of slowing down, Elise was currently in a thrilling battle with Minerva, little Wendy was fighting Sting who seemed to have turned over a new leaf and Laxus was fighting a Wizard Saint!

Yes it didn't get much better than that seeing how his children had grown but his thoughts kept wandering back to Natsu and the others, his thoughts soon took form as the First Master appeared in front of him looking worried.

"You need to go help Natsu right now!"

Makarov just blinked several times before replying.

"Uh did you just say that Natsu needs my help?"

"Yes there was a third member of the Leichart 12 and she's even more dangerous than the other two, Natsu is being forced to fight the two strongest ones in a two on one and even he knows he can't win but he's buying time so Mira and Jel- blue haired guy can get the Princess and King to safety! If you don't leave right now he might die … or worse!"

"Of course lead the way I won't allow anyone to harm one of my children if I can help it but … what's worse than death?"

Mavis huffed in annoyance at the question as she began to float over towards the stadium exit.

"That's not important right now hurry he won't be able to hold his own forever!"

'If he's forced to use E.N.D in a place like this everyone will notice and he'll be classed as a threat to the safety of the kingdom … hold out a little longer Natsu help is on the way just don't use E.N.D!'

I hope you all enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next one!
