Ultimate Fairy

Chapter 65: Tenrou Island

Part IV

Last time on Ultimate Fairy…

Ben's body drifted along with the river's current, but something was protecting his body in his unconscious state.

"Error genetic damage detected, error unable to repair under current conditions, standby." the Omnitrix said as the dial popped up and went down again turning Ben into Water Hazard "Re-attempting genetic repair." it said as Water Hazard's hands began absorbing the water "Molecular form destabilized, attempting genetic reconstitution via genetic repair, standby." it said as the Omnitrix turned a bright baby blue "Ready to attempt." it said before the Omntrix dial on Ben shined brightly and while Ben reverted back to human, there was someone else in the water as well.

The two were pulled out before they got very far and lay them on the ground.

Ben weakly opened his eyes and saw two blobs in his vision, he blacked out again and slept.

Hades had returned to his ship as Ben had seemingly vanished, he decided to wait patiently as he knew Ben would return, that was just how Fairy Tail was and that young man truly had the guild's hopes and values burned to his very core, it was a bit nostalgic, but he knew Ben would eventually succumb and be under his rule 'Ultimate power is within my grasp.' he thought as when he had Ben, he would also have the Omnitrix a source of unlimited and unfathomable power.

The Rust Bucket ship laid on the water a half mile from the coordinates Paradox gave, Kevin was monitoring the space closely as knowing both Ben and Paradox something grand was going to happen or something dangerous and explosive 'Not gonna let my ship get trashed too.' he thought as he chuckled as he knew Ben would make his mark on his return.

"Any signs yet?" Max asked over the comms every hour on the dot.

Kevin sighed "Nope just water." he said to him "And I have my scanners drawing all the power from my, besides communications nothing else in on Max." he said as he had all power going to his sensors to alert him to the slightest change.

Max hung up the line as they kept waiting.

"Just a few hours Levin, just a few hours." Kevin said as he waited patiently, he wondered what happened to Ben and what he had been doing, but most of all he hoped Ben was alright "Come home Ben, we miss you." he said as he was all alone so he didn't have a need to hide how he felt, in all honesty before Paradox told them Ben was alive he listened to the news with people thinking Ben was dead, the first time he heard that his mind ran a mile a minute with terrible thoughts of if possibly being true, that his best friend and brother was gone, and he cried.

The calm ocean waters were patient as expecting the same thing Kevin was, the return of Ben Tennyson.

Ben felt the full weight of his body as he stirred from his slumber. He attempted to move but didn't think he could with how sore he felt.

"Welcome back to the world of the living." Gray said with a smile of relief, seeing Ben open his eyes "How are you feeling?" he asked him, curious as to how Ben was feeling.

"Actually I feel really cold. Oh crap am I dying?" Ben asked him curiously, seeing Gray chuckle.

"Sorry that's me, I had to seal your wound." Gray said as Ben looked down and saw a small patch of ice over his wound.

Ben looked around and saw two women he didn't recognize "Grimoire Heart members?" he asked him, wondering who they were.

"Former Mr. Tennyson, I am Ultear Milkovich." Ultear said to him "And I owe you a great debt, you saved our mother." she said as she and Gray looked to the unconscious form of one Ur Milkovich.

Ben was confused because the last thing he remembered was Wendy ejecting Zs'Scayr and sending him flying as a result.

"The Omnitrix activated upon sensing the elder Ms. Milkovic's genetically damaged structure Ben and it acted accordingly." Paradox said, making his presence known.

"Thank you again for the clothes." Gray said to the professor as he and Ultear had to cloth Ur as when the Omnitrix remade her, it didn't remake any clothing for her.

Ben was silent when he heard Paradox "Paradox, let me ask you something, what would've happened if I did anything differently?" he asked him as he trusted Paradox's guidance, but for this, he needed to know what could have happened differently.

"Many things actually for one you would have died and Zs'Skayr would've run amuck without challenge, another is Wendy could have died and you would become emotionally distraught causing a massive amount of destruction, and many more Ben, but this was perhaps your best possible future, you both survived and Zs'Skayr is gone." he said to him.

Ben took a minute to process what was said and knowing what he could've lost, he decided that this was the best possible outcome as he'd take all the pain if it meant Wendy could live and survive "Hey Ultear, you said you were a former member of Grimoire Heart right?" he asked her curiously, getting a nod "How high up were you?".

"Technically speaking, I was second in command in name only as Bluenote was the second strongest of the guild." Ultear said to him "Why do you ask?" she asked him curiously.

"Paradox I'm assuming you have my sword and my badge." Ben said as Paradox was always prepared and always knew what was needed.

Paradox reached into his lab coat and tossed them to him "You really should invest in a harness or a hook on your back, I imagine Erza won't be pleased if you lose it." He said, as he hated repeated tasks, and while Ben originally left his sword at home on purpose for the exams, and he dropped it when Wendy ejected Zs'Skayr.

"Yeah hold on." Ben said as he channeled mana onto the sword and it vanished.

"Ah, I see you've taken inspiration from Wendy's staff and developed the mana equivalent to requip magic." Paradox said as the staff of ages could be summoned to the wielder or stored for later use of the current wielder "Smart thinking, Ben." he said, Ben often found ways to surprise him, and using inspiration from what he had seen often was an impressive show.

"How much do you know about the dark guilds under your chain of command in the Balam Alliance?" Ben asked her.

"Everything." Ultear said as she coordinated all of their lower guilds to do menial tasks and assigned them to carry out certain duties.

"Let me make a call." Ben said to her as he tapped the badge and after a few minutes "Hi Toma." he said to the king of Fiore.

"Ah, Ben, good to hear from you lad, how are you doing?" Toma asked, sounding to be in a pleasant mood "I hope you are still stopping by next week. My daughter has been a bit of a handful since someone took her on a run through the kingdom." he said as Ben was a trustworthy soul, but he was a little nervous when he got reports of his daughter being seen with a monster running through the kingdom.

"I'll try my best, but we have official business to discuss." Ben said as he saw Toma switch from friendly to professional.

"It's not the council again, is it?" Toma asked as if the Magic Council kept up this obsession he'd have to disband the current members in control.

"They are involved, but so far haven't given us any problems, no I have an informant here who is technically wanted, she'll exchange information for leniency and a pardon, she has information on over a dozen known dark guilds on one side of the Balam alliance, would that be enough for a full pardon?" Ben asked him curiously.

"It depends on her crimes, I'm assuming she is one of the top three dark guilds?" Toma asked as what Ben said could only come from someone of high standing.

"I destroyed the old Magic Council building and may have destroyed a few towns, I have blood on my hands but not as much as the rest of Grimoire Heart." Ultear said, stepping up and giving Ben a look, surprised by his connections and that he had put her into the spotlight like that.

"If you provide me with names of Grimoire Heart's outside allies of the balam alliance along with the dark guilds, I shall give you your pardon, Ms. Milkovich." Toma said, surprising her by the fact that he knew her name.

Ultear gave him a list and he wrote down every name and location she gave him.

"I will send word your name is to be cleared and I'll make up some story about how you were a double agent." Toma said offhandedly as he called someone and had them take the list to the Ten Wizard Saints.

"You mind sending Jura to handle some of those?" Ben asked him as he wanted someone he knew to handle the task.

Toma nodded "Is there anything else I need to be aware of?" he asked as with Ben anything was possible.

"Yeah, the rune knights should have all of Grimoire Hearts lesser forces maybe with this 'win' they'll back off." Ben said as he really wanted them to take this win as with it, it'd make the guild a lesser target with their egos stroked.

The king nodded understanding his meaning and ended the transmission.

"What about her?" Ben asked looking too Ur.

"Ultear will watch over her. We have a score to settle with Hades." Gray said to him seeing Ben gain a serious look in his eyes.

Ben looked at the Omnitrix seeing he nearly had a full charge "I'm ready for round two." he said with a smile "Ultear it was nice meeting you, now we're gonna beat the living hell out of your master." he said to her seeing her laugh.

"I have read about your boldness, but seeing it in person is another thing entirely, I wish you both the best of luck." Ultear said as she sat by her unconscious mother's side.

Gray and Ben nodded and began walking to Hades' ship.

"So why are you here?" Ben asked not unhappy about him being here but was curious as to why he was here.

"Paradox came to me and Carla before you guys left, he told me that your life was in danger, and I…I didn't want you to die." Gray said to him lowering his head "I didn't want you to get hurt again because I chose to do nothing." he said to him.

Ben caught on immediately and looked to Gray "Gray, you're my friend, so take it from me when I say you need to let go." he said as he thought of his many mistakes "You need to let go of that pain, because in the end if you don't learn from it and let it weigh you down, you'll always be questioning your every action." he said as it was a bit hypocritical of him as he did the same thing, but he tried to let it go a lot so he could heal.

Gray was silent but listened intently.

"So this is where you've been." a familiar voice said catching them off guard as Ben and Gray saw Gajeel "You look like hell." he said to Ben and noticed he had the scent of blood on him "Did you fight Wendy?" he asked not seeing any wounds but was guessing he bled somehow.

"Yeah, she's fine." Ben said to him "We need our best hitters for what we're about to do." he said before hearing a familiar engine.

"Que pasa party people." Rex said as he landed next to them.

"Nada mi amigo, gracias." Paradox said surprising the others he spoke spanish "Anyway now that Rex is here, I can drop you off." he said opening up his pocket watch and they all vanished.

Erza kept an eye on Wendy as she was still shaken from having Ben's blood on her body, she cleaned it off feeling wave after wave of agony just touching the blood of her boyfriend, but Wendy was clean and wearing Ben's jacket 'It looks good on her.' she thought absent-mindedly thinking that Wendy wore green rather well.

Mira was keeping an eye on Wendy as well, worried how the ordeal of being possessed had on her and how she was coping 'Elfman took months.' She thought to herself as Elfman had a bad case of PTSD after Lisanna vanished thinking he killed her, but ever since her sister's return, he just felt guilt which was slowly going away day by day 'Please be alright Ben.' she thought hoping Ben was in good shape so that Wendy's pain wouldn't cement into something akin to Elfman's.

"Ah, there you all are." Paradox said, appearing before them "We should hurry, we're gonna be late." he said as he opened up his pocket watch and they all vanished.

"The boat?" Makarov said in confusion seeing they were on their own ship they used to sail here, he looked around seeing Cana, Gildarts, Elfman, Evergreen, Freed, Bickslow, Juvia, Lisanna, Levy, and Verdona.

"We're waiting apparently." Gildarts said as he didn't like the fact that this man teleported him and Cana, but took Lucy.

"I need a nap." Verdona said a bit tired.

"How are you so calm?" Makarov asked as this seemed a bit reckless even by Ben's standards.

"I have faith in my family. They've never let me down and have never given me a reason to worry, I have the utmost faith that they will destroy Hades." Verdona said as after the tough day they all endured, Hades would be a walk in the park 'Especially now that they are together.' she thought as she had seen the power in the teamwork displayed by Ben, Kevin, and Gwen.

Makarov was a bit envious of her faith and confidence, he was worried for his children and knew they could do it, but that did nothing to ease his nerves.

"Why hasn't he done anything? He knows we're here?" Gray asked curiously.

"Supervillain ego." Ben and Rex said together both having experiences with the type.

"They think their victory is guaranteed so we're not even a threat to them in their minds." Ben said to Gray.

"They also think we're formulating a plan to I don't know beat them or how we can trick them or something like that and they're confident it won't even matter." Rex said to him.

"Or he's thinking he's being generous to us, knowing we know where he is and we're too dumb to not run away and is just waiting for our big play to squash our spirits." Gajeel said to him as he and Jose pulled a similar thing during the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord.

They all nodded at that.

"You got a full charge?" Rex asked Ben curiously getting a nod.

Ben looked up to the sky as rain hit them "Sunrise is close." he said to them.

"I thought that thing didn't tell time?" Rex asked him wondering how he knew that.

Ben chuckled "It doesn't, but I remember an old quote, 'The night is always darkest before the dawn'." he said as they all looked up to the sky.

"Not bad." Gajeel said as he rather liked that and it felt appropriate "About time you idiots got here." he said as they all turned to see Natsu, Mira, Erza, Lucy, and Wendy 'Ben's blood.' he thought smelling a fair amount of it on Wendy.

Wendy dashed almost tackling Ben to the ground before she began crying apologizing repeatedly and profusely.

"Wendy, it's ok. You did nothing wrong, ok?" Ben said holding her close "You look pretty good in my jacket." he said to her trying to calm her down.

Erza, while concerned for Wendy, checked Ben over and saw that his wound was gone "How are you not hurt?" she asked curious as to how that was possible.

"I've been focusing my mana onto my wound the minute Zs'Skayr hit me, I was healing myself so my wound wouldn't bleed out and then Paradox finished the job." Ben said as it was hard but thankfully he would not be getting another scar.

Erza felt a wave of relief.

"Well everyone ready?" Ben asked as this was the last and final moment they'd have before they would have to fight Hades.

"Atomic Flame Dragon Mode!"

"Iron Nightmare Dragon Mode!"

"Miasma Dragon Mode!"

"Satan Soul: Halphas!"

"Black Wing Armor!"

"Damn talk about being ready for action." Rex said to the others.

"Let me make the way." Ben said as his mana shined on his hands and placed them on the ground and a bridge formed "Natsu care to do the honors?" he asked as Natsu began running up the mana bridge.

"Here we come Hades!" Natsu said as everyone charged.

"Erza catch." Ben said tossing her his sword as they ran and slammed down the dial on the Omnitrix.

They all made it to the top and saw Hades standing at the bow looking confident as the mages of his former guild approached him.

Natsu hated that confident look on his face, he hated that he looked down on them, he hated that this man had the gall to see them as nothing "I got a message from Makarov and the guild, choke on it!" he said launching flames from his hand and to his shock.

Hades stood there allowing the flames to hit him "Is that the best you can do?" he asked boredly expecting more from the mages that beat his guild.

"Not even close!" Four Arms said on his side, the flames covering him from Hades' sight grabbing hold of his arms and legs from behind "You're not going anywhere!" he said feeling Hades struggle "Guys take your shot!" he said to them.

"By the grace of the wind, may you strike swiftly and be free from all harm, Arms and Armor Vernier!" Wendy said, casting over everyone seeing them glowing brightly and saw Four Arms glowing red.

"We need to pour in all our magic power!" Mirajane said to them "Everyone tag up!" she said as while she knew it would be difficult.

"Rex!" Gray yelled as he built his cannon.

"Ready!" Rex said as his cannon swallowed up Gray "Dude, don't freeze the cannon!" He said as the back of his slam cannon iced up as he fired Gray who cocooned himself in ice becoming a literal human ice bullet, he hit Hades dead center in his chest.

Four Arms was pushed back and soon lost his grip on Hades.

"Insolent whelp!" Hades said firing a chain made of light at Four Arm's chest sending him flying into Gray.

"Ben!" Erza called out slashing the chain and catching him.

"Time to up the ante!" Four Arms said as he stomped his foot onto the ground "Erza Flame Empress Armor!" he said slamming his dial as Erza requipped.

The couple were both surrounded in blinding light as they changed in synchronicity.

Erza felt a familiar sensation as something eveloped her body and armor.

Everyone saw Erza's Flame Empress Armor change gaining a familiar circuit design, her flame like ties for her pig tails grew around her head becoming a flame like crown that had an Omnitrix symbol appeared on her top of her crown, her collar reached down and connected to her one piece shrinking becoming like a choker now having Upgrade's eye, her gauntlets slimmed down fully covering her elbow gaining flame rivet patterns and the claws at the end of her palm extended, her thigh high boots gained flamming jets at the bottom of her heels, and her wings completely disappeared now he back having a small jetpack on the back.

Erza looked at her armor smiling feeling a familiar sense of power and Ben within her, she looked down to Ben's sword seeing the metal all but vanish as the sword kept its hilt, but all the blade vanished leaving nothing but pure green flame.

"Erza Natsu, you guys ready!" Upgrade said from Erza's choker.

Hades saw them approach and sent a chain at Erza and just as it was about to land a tendril came out of her armor and fired a green beam throwing it off course.

"Flame Empress: Soaring Fire Blade!" Erza said doing an incredible spin sending Hades upward while sending him a smile.

Hades was confused until he saw a glowing Natsu above him.

"Atomic Dragon Wing Attack!" Natsu said diving down sending him back down to Erza and while she still spun around causing Hades to be hit from both spiraling flames, she transformed the fire sword into a flaming mace sending Hades crashing into a wall.

"This is going to be the greatest moment of my life." Gajeel said as he always had this idea of becoming a live bullet 'Never thought I'd be able to cross this off my bucket list!' he thought to himself.

Mira looked behind her, seeing Wendy and Lucy both on her left and right respectively "Alright ladies, it's time to show what we can do!" she said as she raised her palm.

"I've been waiting all day to kick someone's ass!" Wendy said angrily "Eat this, Miasma Dragon Tur-bo Roar!" she said as she raised her hands and roared a vortex of blue and purple wind combined with a dark purple mist swirled around aimed for Gajeel

"Scorpio!" Lucy said as Scorpio fired his sandbuster attack at Gajeel.

Gajeel felt the massive amount of wind coming "Dragon Slayer Secret Art Karma Demon: Nightmare Spiral!" he said as the attacks at his back swirled around him.

Hades extended his hand forward trying to parry the unison raid spell, he saw his gauntlet begin to crack "I must say I never expected Makarov to have such deadly children." he said a little impressed as besides the celestial mage, the others were very deadly, Wendy possessed poisonous powers, and Gajeel was vindictive.

"You forgot about me bastard." Mira said from behind Gajeel "Sorry Gajeel, Halphas Blast!" she said raising her hand blasting Gajeel increasing the force behind his attack seeing Hades' gauntlet shatter and a decent wound appear on his chest.

Gajeel got up and looked at the wall. Hades was currently in "Is he down?" He asked no one in particular and despite being right next to him he was unable to tell if this guy would stay down.

The dial on Erza's armor flashed green "Not a chance, but let me see if I can make him stay down!" Humungousaur said as he ran to the wall and grabbed Hades' leg and began slamming him in every direction.

Everyone watched as the colossal alien began to beat on Hades.

"You know, I see the appeal he has when angry." Mira said to Erza "I mean just look at him wailing on Hades, I swear when I heard that you were attracted to it I had my curiosity peaked, but seeing it in action I have no words." she said as she was watching with sadistic glee.

"Wait, WHO TOLD YOU!" Erza said as she remembered mumbling about that in Ben's mind.

"A good demoness never reveals her sources." Mira said smiling as she technically got it from all of the others as after Erza revealed much to her she knew she was hiding things, so she held Gray's clothes hostage when he lost them and was completely nude, offered Natsu a free meal, and Lucy was a simple exchange that benefitted her as well, Lucy merely wanted to get onto Sorcerer Weekly so she took her with her for the next shoot she had scheduled.

Erza would've glared, but she was brought out of her thoughts as Humungousaur was sent flying.

"I must say you have impressed me." Hades said as he stood over Humungousaur and soon his clothes and wounds healed "I'll make you an offer, yield and join me and I shall spare their lives or don't and I will have them put down." he said looking down at Humungousaur glaring down at him daring him to make a move.

Humungousaur glared at Hades as while he wanted to crush the man, but after their earlier battle he knew he could take whatever he could dish out 'I need a new game plan!' he thought in anger wondering what alien could take him on.

"You know you are by far the strongest person here, so I must ask you something." Hades said getting everyone's attention "Why be something lesser, why not take and shape the world in your image, you know you can." he said to Ben as the man literally had the power to control the very world if he so desired.

Humungousaur was reminded of when Vilgax said something similar when he defeated Diagon "That's not up to me." he said finding a new burst of strength rising up sending Hades off of him "Everything that has happened or will happen will be because of not just me, but everyone, I am no god, I'm just hero." he said slamming down the dial and became human again.

Hades dusted himself off "You poor diluted fool, Makarov certainly engraved the guild's hopes into you didn't he, but I am going to show you how feeble and weak such words are." he said as cracks formed around his eyes as they lost their white color.

Ben knew those eyes better than he knew himself 'How deep does the connection to that eye go.' he thought as it was scary to see a human be subjected to an ectonurites bodily influences.

"My power has been unrestrained ever since Mirajane absorbed Zs'Skayr's soul." Hades said surprising all of them.

'How'd he know that!' Mira thought in anger not liking the fact someone knew she absorbed something, before she even unveiled it.

"It is because my dear while you have the soul trapped within you Zs'Skayr was also part of Ben many times, when you absorbed him fully I was given unrestricted access to his powers this eye gives me." Hades said as due to the intimate nature Zs'Skayr had with these two he could prod certain things from them

"So finally being rid of that psychopath made my situation worse huh?" Ben said in annoyance as even from whatever hell his former enemy was in, he was still giving him problems, he began panting feeling incredibly tired and began to cough violently.

"Ben!" Erza said in shock and soon saw him cough up blood 'Was he hurt!?' she thought in surprise before seeing Mira doing the same.

"You are all going to die here, I would've have made you all thralls, but you are all to much of a risk." Hades said as Ben and Mira were soon covered in purple aura and on the floor "Now to cull your numbers." he said raising a hand and sent out a magical blast toward Wendy and before they all knew it, she was gone, her clothes being the only thing that remained as they fell to the floor.

Ben saw this and despite the burning pain he was feeling, this was infinitely much worse, to see Wendy vanish without a trace killed him inside 'Not again.' he thought feeling tears build up in his eyes as he felt like this when he had lost Julie.

Everyone was feeling something similar seeing Wendy's clothes on the floor, but they were shocked when they looked at Gajeel.

"You got some nerve old man." Gajeel said as the purple gems on his body glowed and shined in rhythm almost as if they were pulsing, his eyes shining an even brighter shade matching the pulse of his gems, but the thing that caught all their attention was the tears and blood leaking out the cracks of the hand parts of his iron scales which were shining a green light "You hurt my guild, you hurt the man that treats me like family, and you killed the half pint." he said as he was gaining a purple and green aura "I'm gonna make you pay in blood old man, Iron Nightmare Club!" he said as his club was now studded with corrodium crystals hitting Hades dead center.

"Erza is that…The Dragon Force?" Gray asked only ever hearing about it from Erza in the tower of Heaven.

Erza nodded as there was no other way to explain it, and even with his Iron Scales, she saw he had gained even more dragon features more specifically his hair as they looked to be more akin to strings of metal.

Mira having been through a lot was able to recover from Hades' attack "Hey Ben-" she was going to ask till she saw him crawl to Wendy's clothing 'What spell did he use?' she thought as it seemed odd Wendy would be gone but not her clothing 'Where's Ben's jacket?' she thought as Wendy was wearing the signature piece of clothing belonging to her father.

Ben was wondering the same thing his eyes glowed pink for a moment and suddenly looked up "Um Lucy?" he asked pointing upward.

Everyone minus Gajeel as he was going head to head with Hades saw a certain clock spirit hanging onto the ceiling.

"Oh hello." Horologium said not looking at them.

"Horologium?" Lucy asked in surprise seeing her spirit here 'How many of them can appear like this?' she thought as ever since she met Loki, she learned that celestial spirits could use their own magic to open their own gates and appear near the key bearers 'I wonder?' she thought to herself wondering if she could create a contract knowing this information now and use less magic for a fight.

"Hey clock, I sense Wendy's mana coming from inside you as much as I am glad she's safe, you wanna explain why you didn't save her damn clothes!" Ben said as while relieved that Wendy was alright he was a bit pissed off thinking she was as naked as a new born in there "And take into account a lot of people here can turn you into fire wood." he said as he was sure Natsu and Erza would love to kindle him.

"My apologies sir, but I acted with great haste and for some reason the jacket was the only thing I could save." Horologium said feeling a bit nervous as he could tell the threat was very real.

"Can we stop talking like I am not here, I would like to get back to the fight and not be stark naked!" Horologium said repeating what Wendy had said from inside him.

"I shall have her reclothed upon my leaving have a pleasant day." Horologium said rushing not wanting to be turned to ashes and the glare Ben was giving him was more than enough to cause him to lose his composure and feel terror.

Wendy soon fell from the ceiling and dropped next to them wearing professional robes under Ben's jacket.

'Did he cuff my jacket?' Ben thought as the jacket seemed more form fitting to Wendy's body as the sleeves were folded and the jacket seemed pulled up a bit.

"Screw your chains!" Gajeel said as he sliced them with his Iron Nightmare Sword "You think I haven't noticed, but I did, I can feel the corrodium in you and powering this damn ship, you think I won't be able to eat it!" he said opening his mouth drawing the corrodium from the air.

'Corrodium is powering this place?' Ben thought finding that to be an interesting tidbit of info 'Maybe.' he thought to himself transforming into "Chromastone!" he said as he slammed his hand into the ground 'Yep this is corrodium, but it's been filtered.' he thought not entirely surprised as if raw corrodium was put into a person's body they'd either mutate or suffer poisoning to an unpresedented level.

Hearing what Gajeel said gave Wendy her own ideas "Time to stop with the poison." she said as her hair went from purple to pink "Let's see how you like mana." she said as her eyes flashed pink as she entered her Sky Mana Dragon form.

"You guys might wanna stand back." Mira said to the others, noticing something "He's getting serious." she said as she focused her magic.

"He wasn't before?" Rex asked as while it was impressive he could survive the beating they all unleashed with the multiple unison raid spells they did, but to hear he was now getting serious was kinda scary.

"Not like this, his body is mutating." Erza said as she noticed it the minutes his eyes went dark, he was not only absorbing the corrodium, but he was generating it, or had so much his body was letting it out 'Only they can touch him.' she thought as Ben was safe as Chromastone, Gajeel could eat it, Wendy's mana would protect her, and Mira had some of Ben's forms so she was safe.

Mira nodded as his beard was no longer a beard as it was similar to the tail part of Ghostfreak, his skin was losing color 'Time to do this.' she thought feeling so much darkness 'And I thought demons were evil.' she thought feeling like she was going to vomit from everything she was feeling "Take Over: Wraith." she said her body being consumed by a purple.

Everyone stopped and turned to Mira as they felt it, the presence of pure evil, as if evil had finally taken form and had come aboard the ship, they all saw Mira's form she was beautiful but still deadly and looked completely able and willing to kill them all, her body was pale and she wore a cloak which was purple in color, the hood was down and the sleeves while baggy didn't hide her hands, she looked like a witch, but her true features were what scarred them, like Hades her eyes were black and purple and had cracks on them, her inch long nails were black and razer like, and she had a faint purple glow around her.

"Wow I gotta say I was not expecting this." Mira said as she admired her new form and looked at Hades and smiled "Bleed." she said as if ordering.

Too everyone's shock Hades scream and they all saw he did infact start to bleed as his newest eye began to bleed purple.

"Zs'Skayr isn't as powerful as I am Hades and he's not as creative, I own his soul and every part of him, that includes his eye." Mira said seeing him glare at her "Oh what's wrong don't have anything to say, what happened I thought you were gonna kill us?" she asked mockingly "Screw you old man, I will make you suffer, we will not fall here." she said as she was smart enough to realize her bloodlust and inhibitions were grabbing hold of her as they were signs that the demon part of her blood was flaring, but she didn't care right now.

Everyone felt the ship begin to rumble and the light flicker and begin to dim.

"What is happening!?" Hades demanded wondering why his ship was shaking.

"Let me tell you something Grimoire Heart grunts, you have just been beaten, by Happy Strauss Dragneel, the lovely Carla, and my sidekick Pantherlily, if you'd like a safe landing get your ass on the ground, if you wanna fight some more, it'll be a sixty foot drop when we throw you over board into the sea, so who's feeling lucky punks!?" Happy said loudly in his Rath form.

"Why am I your sidekick!?" Pantherlily asked as he could respect the young warrior for putting on an incredible display and battle cry, he was not going to be given a lower rank in the team up.

"Because I am better looking and Natsu is better than Gajeel, so I am better than you!" Happy said superiorly.

"Natsu is not better than Gajeel!" Pantherlily said stepping up to defend his slayer.

"Yeah he is, how many times has Gajeel been able to beat Natsu, I'll save you the trouble ZERO!" Happy said cheering for his slayer "That's why team Natsu and Happy are better than team Gajeel and Pantherlily!" he said thinking he had won the argument.

Carla rolled her eyes as both of them argued while occasionally punching the lights out of some brave, yet dumb soul who thought they could take them as they descended Carla felt a cold chill go down her spine 'What was that?' she thought a bit scared as while she knew it wasn't a premonition, she felt every hair on her feline body stand on end.

"That'd be our cats, you see some of your men wouldn't shut up about your engine, so I had Pantherlily, Carla, and Happy wait on standby till we got into the ship so they could attack the engine." Gajeel said as the prisoners he interrogated earlier gave him all the intel he wanted

Hades glared at them angrily "Fine, then to bad for them." he said snapping his fingers as all the lights went out and the ship's wing exploded causing the ship to turn and fall over the cliff.

"Why'd he cut the power!?" Natsu asked, floating in mid air as they fell.

His question didn't get answered as they hit the ground at that moment and it was not pleasant, the ship luckily landed properly so everything was still right side up.

"Everyone alive, sound off." Chromastone said as everyone made a call out, groan, or odd noise.

"Where is that bastard?" Mira asked looking around not seeing Hades.

"He must be trying to restart the engine." Erza said as they all got to their feet knowing that if they wasted a moment they were dead.

Chromastone looked at the Omnitrix wondering if he should change, but decided against it as Chromastone could drain the battery permanently.

They made it down to the next level just in time to see Hades throw Happy and Pantherlily outside through the nearest hole in the ship, Carla flying after them.

"I may no longer be able to use my battery, but that doesn't mean I can't still use it!" Hades said as he opened the very core and whisps of energy shot into him "Yes, feel the power of darkness!" he said loudly.

"Everyone behind me!" Chromastone said putting up a shield "That moron is letting out pure radiation!" he said as he saw it the moment he opened up the core, the closest body began to sizzle, but none of them were showing reactions 'He killed them.' he thought a little disgusted, the others soon seeing what he saw.

"Warning Corrodium levels above fatal limits." the Omnitrix said from Ben's chest.

Everyone felt a bit of annoyance as they glared at the device.

"Levels decreasing to habitable levels." the Omnitrix said confusing everyone wondering how it went to fatal and back so fast.

"You have seen me weild the power of an other worldly being, but let me show you what happens when I use it tandem with the eye of a demon!" Hades roared out as his other eye glowed red along with purple.

"Mira, should we be worried?" Wendy asked as she had seen Freed use his eye magic, but she felt Mira was the proper person to ask given Hades said it was a demon eye.

"I've never seen eye magic with a demon everyone be-!?" Mira was saying till they all heard the sickening sound of bones cracking and saw the corpses on Hades' ship rise all of them gaining a purple hue with red lines.

"This is Nemesis, a spell from the book of Zeref, with my eyes I will use the bodies of Grimoire Heart's fallen and destroy everything and everyone on this island." Hades said as the monsters all began departing the ship.

"We can't let those things get lose not even one." Rex said as his googles got a read of those things and it was not pretty.

"We can't leave him unattended though he's hopped up on radiation and magic power." Chromastone said as they had to make a choice.

Before anything could be said lighting begand to dance in the sky and soon crashed down into the ship.

"You." Hades said as if he was seeing a ghost "Laxus Dreyar, my I had heard you were banished from the guild, it is surprising to see you here." he said as Laxus gave him a look than looked back to the Fairy Tail mages.

Laxus saw the state they were in seeing many injuries and blood "You all look like hell." he said not in any particular way, he looked out the giant hole in the ship seeing the monsters all roaring and trying to climb up the wall of the island some running along the beach "Hey Ben!" he said calling out to his currently rocky friend "Help me put this old man in his place." he said with a challenging smirk "The rest of you should go take care of those things, those are A-class monsters and I am low balling here." he said looking back at Hades.

'Is Laxus actually accepting help in a fight?' Erza thought as she was wondering if this was an omen or if the world was suddenly off its rocker "We need to split up." she said as the monsters were still a concern.

"I think Mira, Gajeel, and I should go." Rex said to them "I can keep my distance, Gajeel is basically a radiation shield and eats it, and Mira can cause all sorts of mayhem, we need to do this." he said as the Rune Knights stood no chance against one of those things.

The others noded seeing no flaw to that plan as it went unsaid Laxus and Ben could use back up if things looked unfavorable.

"Time for a new game plan." Chromastone said slamming the dial "Oh yeah Feedback!" he said happily.

Laxus raised an eyebrow "That guy absorbs electricity, I thought Chromastone absorbed all sorts of energy?" he asked as his info on Ben's forms was limited.

"Your right on both counts man, but I won't be absorbing his magic." Feedback said to him tilting his head and blinked or in Feedback's way winking.

It took Laxus a moment, but he caught on "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Heavenward Halberd!" he said charging his attack.

"This is your brilliant plan a powerful attack to end me, please go on and try." Hades said seeing Laxus' cocky grin "I must say you are more arrogant than your grandfather ever was." he said seeing Laxus smile even more.

"Screw you old man!" Laxus said as he threw it.

Hades saw Feedback running ahead of the halberd, lighting under his feet as he rode it, he raised his hands to protect himself and strike Feedback, but to his surprise Feedback dashed past his side and did a drift looking directly at his back 'Fool.' he thought dodging the Halberd letting it hit Feedback.

Feedback smiled and absorbed the energy and fired at Hades as he did another side step.

"That was it?" Hades asked looking at Feedback and was soon blasted from his back 'Are they!?' he thought realizing their plan.

"Firgured it out huh old man." Laxus said feeling a real charge "You see Dragon Slayers can't eat their own magic, but Feedback here can absorb it and it changes the charge, meaning we can throw all our power around and not waste a damn thing." he said with a grin as he liked battles like this.

Hades had to give it to them that was ingenious as they wouldn't be wasting any energy and were fully utilizing the Slayer ability to eat their unique element.

"Does he ever not be infuriating?" Makarov asked Verdona as Paradox was sitting down relaxing eating one of his gumballs, not having a care in the world.

"Pal trust me, everyone thinks he's infuriating and he knows it, I honestly think he gets off on it." Verdona said as she didn't like the time walker very much and he knew that yet he still invited her on this mission.

Makarov had to give her that as his guild had a lot of interesting people over the years, but his mind drifted to a sound he had heard moments ago, the sound of thunder, he knew this sound well and it was the way the thunder came that let him know his grandson was here 'Thank you Laxus.' he thought as it meant a lot that Laxus came here "Well I'm going for a drink." he said going below deck "And no Cana you can't have any this is my private stash." he said with a grin as she glared at him.

Makarov made it below deck and saw Mest "How is the situation on the island?" he asked curiously.

"All the grunts have been captured, the main members are dodging the Rune Knights, and some of the ships have set ashore." Mest said to him filling him in on what happened "The council gave up on skeletons, they found none so you are fine in that regard, but I want to ask you something." he said seeing Makarov's silence as a sign to go on "Why do you let Ben continue to fight so much and so hard?" he asked as Ben had went head to head with the council on many occasions.

Makarov chuckled "Because Ben knows how to battle enemies not only on the battlefield, but on the political one as well, he makes connections while not overly trying like some people, he gives facts and evidence and doesn't do the normal dance around, he's straight forward and that throws them off balance, and to top it off he uses ways they haven't seen before to play their game in a new way." he said as what Ben had done to Lahar catching him on tape was hilarious and ingenious, it honestly made him feel better about what lied ahead.

Mest chuckled "Is Wendy alright?" he asked as he saw her in her possessed state and it made him feel much concern.

"She'll be fine." Makarov said as he asked Paradox and he assured him she was alright.

Meat nodded "Alright, I feel I can return to Doranbolt, I'm altering my memories of these events slightly." he said as he needed to keep certain gaps the same incase he ran into Fairy Tail again and this came up.

"Teleport to the ship first." Makarov said as while this man was brilliant he could sometimes sink to Natsu's level of idiocy.

"Riiiiight." Mest said teleporting than altering his memories not seeing Makarov face palm.

"Why aren't they staying down!" Gajeel said angrily as they kept beating them down yet they got back up.

"They're pure magic technically speaking they don't have any bodily functions so exhaustion and death may not be possible." Mira said as they were fighting pure raw power.

"We need to hold the line." Rex said not willing to give them an inch "This is our island and it has been violated enough today, I won't let some magic zombie corpse things defile it more." he said firing the slam cannon sending them back.

Gajeel and Mira nodded pushing them back as much as they could.

"You know I think this is my new favorite Take Over." Mira said as she didn't need to do much or even move an inch as with Zs'Skayr's abilities and her own physical attributes there was not much anyone could do.

"Ha well I'm liking Dragon Force." Gajeel said as he kinda felt is was bitter sweet as after what happened to allow him to use it, he wasn't looking forward to the next time he needed this power.

"Who is this kid!?" Laxus asked as during their battle with Hades a girl with blue and pink hair joined in and she wasn't half bad in his opinion as she was able to help throw Hades off his game.

"Would you believe me if I told you she's mine!" Feedback said as Laxus looked at him in pure shock.

"Have I been in a coma?" Laxus asked in shock as this girl had a certain flare to her that reminded him of Erza and Mira when they were younger, but the girl had some traits similar to Ben and Natsu having a somewhat mature and childish aura, but aggressive on the battlefield "Ben listen I need you to fill me with as much power as you can, I'm gonna do something crazy." he said as he knew they were just chiseling away at Hades and even with Wendy he was adapting.

Feedback didn't need any other reason, he gathered all the power he could into a ball and fired it at Laxus.

Wendy was glaring at Hades harshly as they fought "What's the matter Hades, scared of a little girl!" she said mockingly.

Hades was no fool as every time they made contact he felt himself grow weaker "What are you doing to me girl are you poisioning me!?" he said demanding to know.

"The opposite actually." Wendy said showing her bracelets "A while before the S-class trials I dealt with a plague of corrodium zombies and I was able to kill it and save the people with healing magic. I may not be able to do much to you, but I can dampen and take away your power." she said with a smile seeing the fear in Hades' face "You can feel it can't you, your face is certainly showing it." she said as the black in his eyes had returned to white.

Hades eyes widened in shock surprised to have been bested by a child of all things or that she could successfully weaken him to such a degree.

Feedback watched in shock as Laxus fired all of his lightning directly at Natsu and it all went into Natsu's mouth and to no surprise Natsu exploded with a combination of lightning and fire, but soon everything stopped and the Omnitrix timed out "What now Paradox?" he asked seeing everyone else was also frozen.

"I miss the times where my abilities confounded you Benjamin." Paradox said to him "Ben do you you know why I enjoy your company so much?" he asked him curiously.

Ben had thought about it as he often wondered what made him so special to be on Paradox's radar "It's because I can be put in place and do things you can't, but know I can do." he said as Paradox often spoke about rarely getting involved, but did often put his trust in people who could.

"Exactly." Paradox said to him as he smiled "Ben you are a universal guarantee, you are something no one can define or begin to measure, you are a man beyond words, you often find ways to surprise me no matter how many futures there are." he said to him.

Ben was a little glad that he could baffle a time traveler, but he noticed the scene around them was changing quickly.

"I'm speeding things up Ben, you were right to trust Natsu, the young lad certainly has grown even if by just a little." Paradox said to him as they stopped at a scene where Natsu was preparing to roar.

Ben smiled seeing Natsu roar and cause a new level of destruction taking a small part of the island with it, but what came next was a real treat as while Natsu exhausted himself Wendy stepped up as Hades wasn't done.

"You certainly rubbed off on that girl quite a lot Ben." Paradox said to him as they saw Wendy gather mana into her hands "It was certainly clever of her to use healing as a way to defeat someone." he said as that was something only a Tennyson could come up with "But she has developed your temper." he said as he saw the temper Ben had inherited from his grandmother burning in Wendy's eyes.

"So why are you here this time Paradox I doubt it was to chat." Ben said to him as they stopped at a scene where Wendy had delivered a mana and wind-infused haymaker to Hades' jaw.

"Actually it was, this was a more impulsive decision, something you are quite accustomed to." Paradox said jokingly "Ben you are a true friend to me, despite my eccentric lifestyle, you are one of the many reasons I keep going." he said as Ben was more important to people than he knew and what he did more than inspired people "Here seems to be a good stopping point." he said as time went along more normally now as Paradox left Ben.

Ben was slightly confused as to what the point of that was as if he had to guess a few minutes went by at best, and saw Hades despite the intense ass kicking Wendy was giving him was still able to counter and stand "How much magic you guys got?" he asked as those unison raid spells and the attacks from earlier were pretty strong.

"I can keep going." Lucy said as she did a lot of summoning today, but she felt she had one more in her.

"I'm kinda running low." Natsu said as the attacks he used to beat Hades were pretty draining.

"I think me and Erza have around half." Gray said as Erza nodded in agreement.

"I have half a charge left so may as well go for the big guns." Ben said as he thought his big guns actually had a shot now since Hades no longer had his engine powering him "I need you all to shoot elemental magical attacks at me." he said stepping forward.

The others were shocked but chose to believe he had a plan.

Ben took a deep breath as he looked down at the Omnitrix "I need just one alien." he said slamming down on the dial "Terraspin!" he called out slamming the dial again "Ultimate Terraspin!" he said channeling as much power as he could for his next attack.

'Hope you know what you're doing pal!' Gray thought readying his ice cannon.

"Open Gate of the Water Bearer Aquarius!" Lucy said as do to the damage of the ship and all the rain outside the floor was wet enough to allow her to do this.

Aquarius arrived and normally she would've chastised Lucy, but the earlier arrival of her boyfriend and fellow gold celestial spirit Capricorn kept her informed of what was happening 'This is much worse.' she thought as the man Lucy was facing was vile and felt all kinds of wrong, she decided to give Lucy a free pas on summoning her this one time.

"Armadura Fairy!" Erza said with a smile 'This feels familiar, I'm putting my faith in Ben again.' she thought remembering when Upgrade fused with this armor and they destroyed a mountain together.

Natsu stood up gathering all the power he had for this next attack "Ben we're ready!" he called out.

"Everyone fire!" Ultimate Terraspin said to them as he gathered his magical power.

"Ice cannon!"

"Torrent!"

"Fairy Burst!"

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Flame Lotus Exploding Lightning Blade!"

Wendy smiled as she hear everyone fire their attacks, she dashed behind Hades and roared "Arms!" she said empowering not only herself but her teammates.

Ultimate Terraspin saw and felt the power coming toward him "This is gonna be special, I can feel it." he said as he readied himself "Tempest of Sparkling Embers!" he said as he focused his wind around him making it spin and rotate gathering all the collective elemental blasts coming his way.

Everyone saw the blast swirl around fusing all their attacks together spinning toward Hades, but what caught their attention the most was Erza's attack taking the shape of the guild symbol they all wore become the head of the attack.

'I can't dodge this!' Hades thought in sheer terror as the magic power was unreal.

The ship exploded even more actually splitting in half from the explosion and chain reaction of the elements going off.

"That's my boy." Verdona said as the explosion was a true sight to behold and all but signaled the victory of Fairy Tail.

Everyone on the ship saw her get up and her flesh disappear.

"Time for grandma to go pick up the kids." Verdona said as she flew away.

"Hey, am I drunk?" Cana asked as seeing the elderly woman suddenly gain a model-like figure and become a purple energy being was surprising.

"I was gonna ask you that." Gildarts said to her as he was almost positive he had dreams like this.

Makarov chuckled as he looked into the distance seeing Verdona fly off and saw the light of the sun begin to shine 'We won.' he thought proudly thinking of his children and how strong they have become.

Verdona landed and was impressed by the sheer destruction of the ship 'Tennyson's.' she thought as the family always left impressions, she looked around quickly finding everyone with her mana senses "You all look terrible." she said as it wasn't an insult.

No one thought it appropriate to challenge the woman that was the grandmother of their strongest member as they did not have a death wish.

"What about my dad?" Wendy asked as Verdona was taking off without Ben.

"He has something he needs to do." Verdona said arriving back at the ship and was the only one to notice Makarov wasn't here.

Ben looked at the blue skies feeling a bit at peace that they were able to see them again, at his feet was Hades very much unconcious and sitting on a nearby rock was Makarov.

"I thank you for doing this." Makarov said to Ben looking at a repaired ship near them, it was not as big as the ship they sailed here in, but it was still decent enough.

"Just so you and I understand each other, I am doing this for you only, because normally I would've tossed his ass in jail or something more appropriate." Ben said as he wished he had a Null Void projector as Hades deserved that place at the very least as the man had to have much blood on his hands.

"And I thank you for that." Makarov said as he was positive his children would have the same opinion on this matter.

They were both on alert when Hades began to stir from his unconscious state.

"I'd have assumed you would have thrown me to the Rune Knight Makarov." Hades said to him as he weakly stood up.

"If any of my children had perished that would've been a mercy." Makarov said darkly, the other two men knowing that would've been the case.

"He's letting you go on what you use to mean to this guild Prett." Ben said using Hades' real name mockingly "If you ever attempt to harm the guild or anyone ever again, I will hunt you down myself." he said popping up the dial as he had a certain alien ready for this conversation "Toepick!" he said walking up to Hades and grabbed his shoulders, the metal helmet opening up and soon Hades went as white as a sheet "Look at me!" he said angrily as Hades was trying to look away "I will not let you get away next time and I will fully make every minute of however much life you have pure torture and agony!" he said closing the cage dropping Hades to the floor seeing him crawl away.

Makarov saw his old master crawl to the boat in terror "You did a fine job my boy." he said as they sat there for a minute.

"Did anyone else pass the exams?" Ben asked as he felt a lot of people earned the rank.

Makarov sighed as he gathered information from Gildarts, Verdona, and even Paradox "Natsu and Cana stood out the most." he said to him.

"That's not a yes or no master." Ben said as he could understand some reluctance he might have "The exam was interrupted due to outside circumstances but those two adapted and did well." he said to him "If you don't give someone the rank why not have a final test when we get home, give them an S-class mission of your choosing they do it together or take separate ones, but give them a chance master." he said to him.

Makarov had to give it to the lad he was determined and honest, it was true if he did do that no one in the guild would complain as they faced a harder challenge fighting Grimoire Heart "Do you think they are ready?" he asked him.

"Why as me?" Ben said as he found it nice the master was humbling him enough to listen to him.

"Because Ben, you don't judge people on what you know of them, you judge what you know about them, the people you trust always seem to live up to your expectations and you trust people enough to do the right thing." Makarov said as he would defer to Ben's judgment.

'Are they ready?' Ben thought as Natsu had improved ever since he met him and Cana certainly improved as Makarov told him about her being able to use one of the three fairy spells unique to their guild.

Ben's mind thought long and hard comparing the time when he, Kevin, and Gwen fought in the Highbreed war and while vastly unprepared and didn't have the desired skill set, they rose up and became the best plumbers Earth has seen with or without their powers, he chuckled and thought more about the responsibility that came with it "They earned S-class master, they have my vote of confidence." he said to him.

Makarov smiled feeling a bit envious of Ben's position as while he had his reasons, the main one was that he saw all of the candidates as his children and that blurred his view and judgment on if he was their master or their parent and made the decision on if they were ready as equally hard.

"Can I ask why Wendy didn't make your canidacy list?" Ben asked wondering why Wendy didn't make the list.

"Wendy while powerful hasn't had much experience, if she had won the exams that would certainly say she was worthy and ready and despite her combat and magical skills she has had little experiences on her own." Makarov said as it was impressive how far Wendy had come, but at the end of the day both men thought she could use a little more experience.

Ben nodded seeing Hades had managed to get himself a good distance away.

"How are you fairing my boy?" Makarov asked as Ben had been through a great ordeal both magical and physical.

"I…don't know." Ben said as a lot was happening today "I'm kinda used to situations like this, I guess I was just going with the flow of things." he said to him.

Makarov chuckled as there was no other way one could react in a situation like this.

"I'm S-class!" Natsu said with a grin plastered on his face as he was finally on equal rank with Gildarts, Erza, and now also Ben "Eat it rust face!" he said rubbing it in Gajeel's face.

Gajeel glared at Natsu and grumbled under his breath.

"Hey congradts man, you earned it." Gray said as he and Natsu bumped fists, he was happy his rival got the rank he earned all on his own "Next year though I'm S-class." he said with a determined look on his face.

"I'll be waiting." Natsu said acknowledging his rival's claim.

"So Ben how's it feel to be on equal footing with everyone?" Mira asked Ben curiously as she often wondered how him being a lower rank than Erza despite him being the stronger one played into their relationship.

"Feels ok, but I don't think anyhing has changed really." Ben said as while the rank was nice and something he earned.

"It has, you're the guild's strongest without question Ben." Laxus said as he was currently being bandaged up "Still hard to believe you became the new Ace of Fairy Tail." he said as he heard it straight from Gildarts' mouth.

"Well believe it kid, ole Ben here really made me work for that battle, even gave me my limbs back at the end of it all." Gildarts said as he was still not used to having his missing parts back.

"That reminds me, Laxus." Makarov said addressing his grandson "While we appreciate your assistance, you have still been banished from the guild." he said as it went without saying Laxus was not welcome, he was not fully prepared when a mana blast struck him in the face.

"Master he helped save all of us, I think that requires a thank you and what better way than to let him rest up, treat his wounds, and offer him a ride back to Magnolia." Ben said with a smile wanting to give Makarov more time with his grandson.

Everyone knew what Ben was doing and they all found it sweet.

"Hey can I ask if I'm seeing things?" Laxus asked as he was looking at Lisanna, someone he thought was absolutely dead and unknown to Mira, Elfman, and the rest of the guild he visited both of her graves, the one at the church and the one Natsu had made, he visited them when he was absolutely sure no one would see him.

"Nope I'm real, nice to see you again Laxus." Lisanna said with a smile which quickly left her face as he pinched both her cheeks checking to see if she was in fact real.

Laxus was soon on the ground as Mira sucker punched him for laying his hands on her sister like that, not even the thunder legion was willing to go to his aide as Mira's wrath was more powerful than their devotion to Laxus.

"How are you doing?" Ben asked Wendy noticing she still had his jacket on"Guess I need to make you a new jacket huh." he said jokingly.

"Do you think you can fix the old one?" Wendy asked wondering if Clockwork could fix it, she had a small ripped up cloth of what was her jacket.

Ben caught onto her way of thinking and did a quick change into Clockwork and did a quick reversal of time and changed back.

Wendy reached for her jacket but Ben tossed it to Erza.

"Hold onto that for me, I'll come and get it later." Ben said with a smile as Erza chuckled to herself as she stored Wendy's jacket away.

Wendy nodded and held her dad's jacket closely.

"How are you?" Lucy asked Cana curiously seeing the girl had a far away look in her eyes.

Cana took a moment to think about her answer "Numb, I guess." she said to Lucy "I always felt like being S-class would solve all my problems and I would have the courage to just tell him." she said to her friend "But I still feel like I'm not ready." she said in pure admittance as she thought being S-class would solve all her problems.

"Cana it's ok to be afraid, but I think you should tell him, I think I saw him going upstream with Natsu to fish, he's right there Cana, I'll be there for you every step of the way." Lucy said with a smile "And hey if you get nervous, I'll pull a Natsu and drag you there." she said as they shared a laugh.

Kevin was on the edge of his seat each minute like torture as it was the final hour before Ben would arrive, he answered the comms when he saw he was getting a call "I'm still waiting Max." he said to line.

"Waiting for what?" Gwen said over the line surprising Kevin.

"Oh um Max has me filling a patrol wanted to keep me busy." Kevin said nervously hating the fact he was lying to her, but didn't have the heart to tell her Ben could be returning in the event Paradox was wrong, he didn't want to give her than rob her of that hope "How are you?" he asked truly worrying for her as she had it rough a lot of times.

"I'm tired." Gwen said honestly "I honestly don't know what I'm looking for half the time." she said to her boyfriend.

Kevin felt like someone had punched him in the gut, he hated that she was so defeated and not keeping up the fight like she normally did, this was almost torture and cruel what was happening to her.

They talked about random things as he waited for Ben's return noting only one thing and that was the wind was circling around the exact location Paradox gave him.

"Hey Ben is your Omnitrix supposed to be glowing?" Gray asked him seeing the Omnitrix glow and shine.

Ben looked at the Omnitrix and was slightly concerned seeing the dial pop up.

"Ben?" Erza asked seeing the Omnitrix acting on its own as sign something was up.

"I'm not-!?" Ben was saying till the dial went down and he transformed "Laserscale!" he said suddenly in his dragon form and felt a myriad of instincts flood his body as if every animal alien he had was screaming out from something.

Everyone on the island heard a booming sound and while it sounded far away it seemed to be getting closer and louder.

"Gramps get everyone to the ship now." Laserscale said as everything was wrong, the sound, the animal instincts inside of him, but most of all was the smell as it wreaked of blood and death, it was as if everything wrong.

"What is it Ben?" Gajeel asked wondering what that sound was as it sounded as far from natural as something could get.

Everyone was a bit on edge given Laserscale was on edge at the moment and seeing a dragon on edge was as far from comforting as one could get.

Then out of nowhere the noise went from booming to a full on thundering sound.

"Is that a…Dragon?" Wendy asked in confusion as it had been a while but it definitely sounded like a dragon roar.

"Everyone get ready something's coming!" Gildarts said as he felt it deep within his bones, something familiar was nearby, he hoped to all that was sacred to his guild he was wrong.

"Guys look!" Happy said being the first to spot and intimidating figure, it was a dragon, and it bore a similar likeness to Laserscale, it had a primary color of black and blue tribal markings as if they were tattoos, but unlike Laserscale which conveyed emotions of safety and protectiveness, this dragon gave off feelings of death and destruction.

The dragon desended from the sky coming straight at them, the wind blowing past the people below with great force.

"That is Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse." Makarov said his tone sounding neutral, but there was a hidden tone of surrender not many could pick up on.

"It's him alright bastard took the parts that Ben healed, this guy is the absolute real deal of what people have feared from dragons." Gildarts said to them as it was the sheer truth, dragons were beasts people often thought of beings of incredible danger.

"What are we going to do?" Lucy asked before her question was answered as Laserscale spread his wings and roared.

"Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel." Laserscale said getting their attention "This thing is a monster of the highest order, I see no signs of anything but its full desire to kill us." he said as when he starred into those white empty eyes it was as if the monster didn't even have a soul as all he saw was pure nothingness, nothing that gave a being ones life meaning, this creature was an abomination "This Dragon isn't like your parents, this thing has no reason to care about them or you, it'll just kill you for shits and giggles." he said to them as he stood in front of all of them as the creature landed.

"Dad can we-can Ben beat this thing?" Cana asked cutting herself off as this creature was the king of apex predators if she had ever seen one.

Gildarts wanted to say yes he wanted to with all his heart, but right now much like Natsu was from earlier, he was feeling fear in the face of the creature that tore him apart.

Acnologia soon landed and when he did he roared at them the ground shattering from his breath.

'He's not even using magic, that roar was just a run of the mill roar for him!' Laserscale thought realizing this was a fight he couldn't hold his punches in.

Everyone saw the forest was gone but some remained as it was due to Laserscale raising his wings shielding them from the blunt of that attack

"Ben, if I used my Omega build-No!" Rex was saying till Ben cut him off.

"Rex' I'm sorry to say, but this isn't a villain this is a monster, it's not like Van Kleiss, it's like Alpha but worse, you haven't dealt with something like this before." Laserscale said as Rex clenched his fists and nodded.

Acnologia saw the prey beneath his feet, but he was more focused on the green dragon before him.

"That poor soul, he's in Acnologia's sights." Zeref said from a good distance away on a ship, but he was not too far to not see Acnologia meeting Ben's gaze "Can he survive, I would like a chance to converse with that young man at another point in time?" he asked Paradox as he never got the chance to speak with Ben.

"Oh he'll most certainly survive, but he will enrage Acnologia to new heights." Paradox said to him.

"Who is that with you?" Zeref asked while not really caring, he saw a little girl with pink hair that reminded him of Natsu's own salmon colored locks, she seemed to be slipping in and out of consciousness but she seemed alright.

"Meredy, I am able to tamper with the timeline, but not overly change it." Paradox said to him "I have to make a particular stop." he said to Zeref as he disappeared.

Everyone was on the edge of their seats, their breaths held deep within them as they saw Laserscale and Acnologia growl at each other before charging at each other.

The two didn't fight with magic and settled on sheer muscle tackling the other and rolling on the ground, their blood soon showing as both dug their claws in deep into the other.

"Can't we do something!?" Natsu said angrily as doing nothing felt wrong on every level of his being.

"No." Makarov said to them "As much as it pains me Ben is in this fight all on his own, he is the only one who can possibly match Acnologia." he said as he and Gildarts may have served as decent distractions, but they were in now way capable of putting on the type of battle Laserscale could have.

"Why doesn't he just turn into Way Big, he could crush him then." Gray said to them.

"Ben may be unable to, the Omnitrix turned him into Laserscale, not the other way around." Erza said as they all saw the Omnitrix transform him into Laserscale so he might be stuck as Laserscale for this battle.

"Don't even think about it." Gajeel said seeing Wendy raise her hands by half an inch "If you enchant Ben right now Acnologia will turn his sights on you, we can't help Ben if we become targets for that thing." he said hating every word coming out his mouth but knew it was the truth as if they helped Ben the could make themselves targets or distract him from his battle.

Wendy clenched her fists and grabbed the bottom of Ben's jacket gripping it tightly.

Laxus felt like he had been doused in cold water, right before his eyes was a creature he was meant to be able to slay, but a creature he thought was pure myth, all the time Natsu said he had been raised by a dragon now slapping him in the face for every time he laughed and thought he was full of it.

The battle of dragons was not only being witnessed by the Fairy Tail guild, but many of the council ships were seeing it as well.

Lahar felt both humbled and terrified as he saw Ben Tennyson's symbol on the green dragon's chest and wondered where he had gotten his strength to talk down to and threaten someone like that and wondered if he should stay enemies with the man as the fact he was able to fight a beast of legend like Acnologia was truly terrifying.

Laserscale growled punching Acnologia in his stomach and moved behind him getting him into a headlock "Wendy start enchanting now, enchant everyone and then fire all at once!" he said loudly as he knew it when they clashed this beast was having fun with him as if he had been a real challenge to him in such a long time.

Wendy did as told and now every member of the guild was glowing brightly.

"You three shall lead the charge." Makarov said to Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel "We shall add our power to your attack and we will put an end to this monster." he said as everyone nodded "Cana, I need you to cast Fairy Glitter while I cast Fairy Law." he said as he was hoping that two of the guilds Fairy spells would add a good amount of power to the spell.

Gildarts thought their chances were small, but if he did nothing that would be the real shame and what would truly be the final nail in his coffin, doing nothing in the face of the enemy while those around him who were much weaker than him still had the courage to fight.

Laserscale struggled to keep the beast in his hold from breaking free, but he smiled seeing all the myriads of colors shining at where his guild mates were "Watch closely bastard, this is the power of the Fairy Tail guild." he said to him.

The three Dragon Slayers stood at the ready as everyone pooled all their magic together, and fired together as one at the dragon Laserscale was holding in place.

Everyone watched as the blast sent both of them into the water and they got close and saw the two dragons were going at it again as if the blast did nothing to Acnologia.

Laserscale felt his wounds burn in this salt and ethernano-filled water, every attack was a painful one.

Acnologia fought his current enemy as Laserscale would not let him go and wouldn't let him return to the surface, he clawed at his enemy with all his might seeing both his and mostly Laserscale's blood fill the water, he sent one final slash at the circular mark on his chest and saw Laserscale cry out in pain as it sparked and flash green, red, and yellow as he roared in pain.

'Crap!' Laserscale thought feeling an incredible amount of pain and looked at the Omnitrix thinking it was gonna die on him at any moment.

"Erro-…DNA sample aqu-...alterations-...Error." The Omnitrix was saying not making any sense or less than usual "Self-repair engaged, DNA reconstitution engaged, current sample in need of repair, sample acquired, further action for host survival needed activating evolutionary function." it said as the Omnitrix seemed to lose light for a moment before it shined brightly.

The entire guild of Fairy Tail saw the blood rise from the water and the air bubbles rise up violently.

"C'mon Ben." Rex said as they didn't do all the impossible stuff they did today for nothing.

Erza was worried seeing all the blood and worried for how Ben would come out of this one.

They all froze when a small shape came up, they were confused as it looked human, but the shape seemed different than what they were expecting, it soon emerged and they saw midnight blue hair and a man with dark tan skin.

"Who the hell is this-!?" Gajeel was saying till he spotted the man's arms, they both had the exact same markings as Acnologia.

The man laughed as he emerged from the sea "I must say I haven't had a good bath in dragon blood in a while." he said with a chuckle moving his long mane out of the way "Your friend should be dead soon." he said catching a wind infused fist and a sword in the other.

"Shut your damn mouth, he's not dead!" Wendy said the tears clear as day on her face.

Erza glared powerfully at the creature before her wanting to end it where it stood.

"You both reek of his scent." Acnologia said slamming both of them into the ground and seeing the look of defiance ever-present on their faces as they glared at him with intense hate "If you wish to see him so badly I will send you to him, give him my regards, he fought better than most dragons." he said raising his foot to shatter Wendy's head.

"Why don't you tell me yourself." a voice said as behind Acnologia stood a man, he seemed similar to Acnologia, but in many ways different.

The guild saw the man, he had emeral hair that was similar to Acnologia's in style, his face seemed a bit like Natsu's but overall they knew it to be of one person.

"Ben?" Erza asked in slight hope seeing the Omnitrix on his chest, but saw it was in the ultimate mode with the prongs coming out of it "Ultimate Laserscale?" she asked in surprise as if she didn't see Acnologia's human form.

"Hey, Erza." Ultimate Laserscale said to her "Choke on this, Primus Dragon Roar!" he said sending Acnologia into the ground a good distance from them "You got some nerve." he said firing a stream of fire from his hand.

"He has fire magic?" Gajeel asking in surprise, before seeing him fire green beams from his eyes, and then when he turned intangible.

"Aren't those powers from his other aliens?" Gray asked as using them in one form would have made him believe that Ben had another alien with unique powers, but those powers felt different.

"He's able to enchant his alien powers onto us what if he's able to use all of their powers with this form." Wendy said to them as she got up.

"Take Over mages can do the same thing, but it takes a lot of skill and concentration." Mira said as she could use the powers of her transformations as a human, but it was easier when she transformed, and switching between them would be challenging.

"So Ben can use all of his powers?" Gray asked as that was simply incredible.

"You wanna see incredible, let me give you something to be in awe about!" Ultimate Laserscale said putting his arms in an 'X' position "Hey Acnologia Way Big sends his regards!" he said firing at him with a large green and intense beam of pure energy.

The silence was killing everyone, but the moment they heard laughing was what truly scared them.

'He took a blast from Way Big's power and is still able to laugh!' Erza thought as that was terrifying.

"You know from what I heard I expected there to be death, not a punching bag." Ultimate Laserscale said as this was getting boring, he saw Acnologia get up and saw the blood leaving his mouth 'He can be wounded.' he thought to himself as it made him feel relief that his attacks were doing something.

"Your blood tastes different." Acnologia said as that surprised Ultimate Laserscale "You're not Dragon or human." he said as it was vexing, but the taste of the man's blood was something he had never once encountered.

"That's because it's not just human, it's also anodite." Verdona said making her presence known.

Acnologia caught her scent and it was similar to Laserscale's own "Interesting, I may let you live after I sate my bloodlust." he said as he didn't like unknowns.

"And I may hold my grandson back from beating you to death." Verdona said as she pointed to the spot Ultimate Laserscale was and Acnologia saw he was gone.

"Peek-a-boo!" Ultimate Laserscale said as he ran at Acnologia with an incredible amount of speed slamming him into multiple trees "We're not done!" he said unleashing a savage beatdown.

"Roar!" Acnologia said firing at Ultimate Laserscale "You know something boy, something about you was vexing." he said soon standing above Ultimate Laserscale.

"My enemies say that a lot." Ultimate Laserscale said to him 'What was in that roar.' he thought as he had forms that could absorb energy, but something about it made it impossible for him to do so.

"Stings doesn't it, my roar." Acnologia said mockingly "You see child, my element is unlike any others can even comprehend it destroys everything in its path, not only because of its sheer power but also because it can't be stopped." he said to him confidently "I gained the name Dragon of the Apocalypse because my element kills life, destroys everything, not even a trace is left in the wake of my power." he said his fists encased in the energy of his roar and began returning the beating Ultimate Laserscale was giving him earlier.

Rex was messing with goggles as he looked at Acnologia 'C'mon pendejo keep using your power all energy has a trace, I can track mana and ethernano, what is your form of energy!' he thought his mind racking around what could his energy be 'Wait, it kills and destroys everything.' he thought in realization "Ben he's using a form of negative energy, it's like anti-matter, whatever positive energy it comes into contact with it destroys!" he said to him.

Ultimate Laserscale's eyes widened in shock 'That's why I can't absorb anything and why everything it touches is destroyed.' he thought as energy and negative energy canceled each other out "Time for a new game plan, Primus Dragon Wing Attack!" he said sending Acnologia flying.

"What's he doing?" Gajeel asked wondering why he was fighting like a Dragon Slayer and not how he normally did.

"His energy." Erza said to him then looked to Rex "To defeat Acnologia he needs the power of something positive, the Omnitrix." she said as Rex nodded.

"Ben's Omnitrix has a type of energy I haven't seen before, the watch's power may be a counter to Acnologia's own negative power, using his aliens wide variety of powers is useful, but in the end, his Dragon Slayer abilities might be the only thing that can beat him." he said as that was his best guess.

"Primus Dragon Scales!" Ultimate Laserscale said as his body was encased in emerald green scales as he and Acnologia were once again trading blows.

"Hey, that's my spell!" Gajeel said seeing Ultimate Laserscale use one of his spells was kinda cool.

"But he's not stronger." Wendy said as she had seen Gajeel's scales in action and it increased his defense and physical strength.

"No, but he's moving faster, his body's scales make him wind resistant." Elfman said having a few reptile Take Overs and each of them moved better due to certain things like no hair on his body causing drag.

"Primus Dragon Brilliant Flash!" Ultimate Laserscale said loudly as he found this move kinda ironic as people often complained about his flash when he changed forms, now it was an actual physical attack.

"He just used Natsu's move oh yeah!" Happy cheered out.

Wendy felt a bit put out as she had no special moves that her dad could use for himself, he could only use enchantment spells like her.

"Primus Tur-bo!" Ultimate Laserscale said as a green whirlwind shot out from his hands.

Everyone watched as Laserscale unleashed everything he could with his powers not giving Acnologia an inch.

Verdona watched in amusement seeing her grandson use everything he had learned here using each power he could with his Dragon Slayer power, it was something special, she saw someone appear next to her and her eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm not stopping until I get one clean shot of damage!" Ultimate Laserscale said seeing a cut on Achnologia's body and driving his fist right at it his hand was actually inside him "Don't worry I have a wound just like it." he said as he ignited his fist with his Primus energy and Acnologia screamed as his wound was cauterized.

"Roar!" Acnologia said as he blasted Ultimate Laserscale off of him and took to the skies and transformed back into his Dragon state "This battle has been fun chimera, but it is time we end this." he said looking at Ben with both respect and anger as he clutched the wound on his body, the first wound he had ever gotten in a long time that was permanent.

'Been called worse.' Ultimate Laserscale thought before the Omnitrix flashed red "...Oh shit." he said as the Omnitrix was out of power and that meant the fight was over in every possible way, they used up all their magic, and all his power was gone.

Makarov watched as his children panicked and there was no way for him to calm them or tell them things would get better.

Levy and Freed asked everyone to lend them their power for a protective enchantment as a last defense, they all grabbed each other's hands.

"Sorry, I don't have much magic to give." Ben said as his mana reserves were extremely low "Hey Wendy." he said catching the little girl's attention "Keep that jacket on tight, it's pretty much indestructible." he said as he often believed that as that jacket had survived more things than a jacket should.

Wendy gave him a teary smile and nodded as she held his hand tightly.

Erza grabbed his other hand "I love you, Ben Tennyson, with all my heart and soul." she said as she didn't want what could be her last words to be anything different.

"Erza, I have seen a lot of the universe, my universe." Ben said making a small joke "But you are by far the prettiest sight I have ever encountered, I love you, Erza Scarlet, with all me being." he said as they both shed tears.

Acnolgia glared down at the island wanting to wipe it out of existence he fired his breath attack knowing the island would be destroyed.

The attack stopped mere inches from the island.

Paradox walked out seeing everything unfold "Right on time." he said with a smile "Any farewells Mavis, you won't be seeing them for a while?" he asked as the ghost girl appeared before him.

"No, I'm sure they'll return when they are ready." Mavis said sending a loving look to each of her children.

"This has been an exciting venture Paradox, but now is the time and Ben needs to be told the truth and soon, you owe him that." Verdona said to him with a glare as things worked out in the end, but she still didn't like the risk he had to endure.

"My dear Mrs. Tennyson, the debt I owe Ben Tennyson is a large and vast one, I rarely if ever get a chance to repay it." Paradox said as that was cold stone truth, Ben was a hard person to repay a debt to.

"I am surprised Paradox." Mavis said to him as she got his attention "Why spare the girl, but not the Milkovich girls?" she asked him as both women were still on the island as Paradox had arrived and told Ultear he could only save one of them.

"The time wielding Ms Milkovich is a sensitive one, her powers are similar to mine, but hers are limited, but still fall in the same group of rules, I can not change her future without placing someone in her place." Paradox said to them.

"Ur, she wasn't supposed to be here was she?" Verdona said catching on "With Ur here, Ultear's future changed and you needed to substitute her with someone else with the new timeline of her gone so not to many events would be changed or altered." she said as in certain time lines situations could become more intense with a missing person and adding a new person to the timeline would cause things to get better and worse with no way of telling which would out weigh the other.

"Correct." Paradox said to her "With their disappearance the timestream will stablize allowing both of them to cause less damage and restrictions on them for later events." he said to them.

"But the girl, what happened to her?" Mavis asked not liking the thought of throwing a child to the wolves with no explanation on what happened.

"I asked a duplicate guild member of yours the Earthland version of one Mystogan." Paradox said to her as she smiled happily feeling much assurance.

"Paradox I know I am not one to speak, but is it wise for these two to be free, Ultear has caused much pain." Verdona said as while it was petty, she didn't like either her or Jellal for putting her grandson through that hell and torturous spell.

"We all deserve second chances Verdona young Ben knows that more than anyone, he gave you a second chance despite what you had attempted and despite your favortism in Gwen he forgave you and loves you truly without any hints of hate." Paradox said as while he knew it was a low blow, she sighed and nodded

"They get one chance both of them, but if I find out either went back to their old ways or have squandered it, I will show them wrath that will make Acnologia pale in comparison." Verdona said as Mavis giggled, killing the seriousness of Verdona's rage.

"That's all I ask for Verdona." Paradox said to her looking at his stopped watch allowing a millisecond to go by and saw the golden shield of Fairy Tail appear "An impressive spell dear Mavis and impressive one indeed." he said to her as it messed with time and caused small hiccups or ironically paradoxes, this spell could do so much more than Mavis or anyone realized "Now may I get some assistance messing with overlapping energies especially one like magic, mana, and time and space is delicate work." he said as both women raised their hands to assist the time traveler.

Kevin starred at his timer as he was finally there, the final minute "C'mon Tennyson, for once be on time and don't mess this up." he said seeing fourty-five seconds on the clock "I swear you better have some hell of a story, interdimensional war, someone trying to eradicate the multiverse and kill off everything in time and space, something!" he said seeing thirty seconds left "Just please be here ok, we need you…I need you." he said knowing he could be an ass riding on Ben a lot, but in truth he loved having him around, he needed his brother back in his life, he looked at the clock go from eleven to ten 'Ironic.' he thought to himself counting down 'Five, Four, Three, Two, One.' he thought and in a blinding flash of golden light his instruments were picking up new readings.

The Rustbucket was shaking from the shockwave and Kevin drove it straight to the epicenter as when there are mysterious explosions, Ben wasn't to far behind.

"This is special agent Levin calling out to Magister Max Tennyson, Max can you hear me?" Kevin said speaking in an official capacity.

"I'm here Kevin what happened?" Max said picking up the line quickly.

"Max I am standing on an island that didn't exist a dozen miles from NYC." Kevin said to him as he couldn't see the city he really hoped no one could see the island "I'm looking for Ben, but my instruments are telling me there is a form of energy here." he said to him.

"Are you wearing protection?" Max asked him knowing Kevin would think twice about making a joke on that line.

"Gwen snagged me some metals resistant to nuclear energy." Kevin said with a smile as after dealing with certain radioactive incidents Gwen wanted him to be extra prepared given the nature of his powers.

"I'll have the plumbers switch to radioactive suits and prep the medical shuttles." Max said as while he was willing to do anything for his grandchildren, he would not endanger people knowing he could prevent it.

Kevin went to the destroyed part of the island thinking that was a good a place as any to look for Ben, he spotted something bright and green in the distance recognizing it as his jacket, but when he got there he saw a little girl wearing it, she was on the ground next to Ben, he saw a large red spot in her hair "Shit she's bleeding." he said carefully lifting her up "Hey kid wake up!" he said knowing it was a bad thing to sleep with a head injury

"D-Dad." Wendy said weakly trying to open her eyes.

"Kid I've been a lot of things, but I have never been that." Kevin said with a chuckle.

"Where's Ben?" Wendy asked trying to move, but was unable.

'So she knows Ben.' Kevin thought glad to have some confirmation "He's right next to me kid, don't worry, you're safe, can you tell me your name?" he asked wanting to keep her talking.

"Wendy Tennyson." Wendy said to him.

Kevin felt like he was in shock 'How long were you gone?' he thought looking at Ben thinking he didn't age a day "Max I need that team here now, we got a wounded kid here and she says her last name is Tennyson." he said as the mic was silent, but he could hear many screams in the background and Max yelling.

"Can you give me my cat?" Wendy asked him and he turned and saw a pile of of cats.

'Please don't be dead.' Kevin thought picking up all three of them and gave them to Wendy.

Before Kevin knew it Azmuth arrived via teleportation.

"Why wasn't I called Levin!?" Azmuth said in annoyance walking over to Ben "At least he looks fine." he said about to teleport with Ben away, but was stopped as Kevin took his remote "What are you doing!?" he said demanding to know why he was stopping him.

"This girl said her name was Wendy Tennyson, she's wearing Ben's jacket, and she has a concussion do that math smart guy!" Kevin said as Azmuth really pissed him off sometimes.

Azmuth was stunned by what he was told and saw Kevin's reason for stopping him "I shall take the girl and I'm assuming that girl is his mate?" he asked looking at the redhead holding Ben's hand.

"If he's dating her I will take back every bad thing I ever said about his skill with women." Kevin said to him "Just teleport all of us!" he said as that was a better solution.

'Ugh I hate this.' Azmuth thought as his teleporter was limited to a few people not a around two dozen 'It throws off the arrival destination.' he thought correcting some wires 'I am spending to much time with these people.' he thought as he was taking more risks than he ever did in his life than before he met them.

Author's Note-High everyone I hope you liked the chapter, I tried really hard on the fight scenes for Hades and Acnologia and tried giving them their own unique spin on certain events, I waited like two weeks looking for a person who could help with fight scenes, so far no dice, hope the extra length in chapter helps me out a bit also hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July.
