"It's over Dread!" Shouted Max Steel, currently in his most powerful TURBO Mode, Turbo EXO Strength Mode. At the moment, he was facing off against all of his foes: Toxzon, Extroyer, Blast, Prism, Ultimate Elementor, Metal Elementor, and Miles Dread.
"Max Steel," said Miles Dread as he turned to face the recently arrived hero from the elevated platform he was on, "How nice of you to join us. But alas this will be our last meeting."
Behind the megalomaniac, the machine he had built began to charge up more and more before a red a black portal erupted from the center. The portal let out cracks of what sounded like thunder as it began growing more powerful, thanks to the Negative T.U.R.B.O. Energy supplied by Dread.
"It would seem you are a bit too late to stop this," stated Dread as his body flashed a bright crimson as he entered his powered-up state.
Suddenly, the machine starts going haywire, sending out bolts of energy. A few bolts strike some of Max Steel's villains, namely Ultimate Elementor, Toxzon, and Miles Dread himself. Following the bolts, the machine started generating a gravitational pull, dragging in everything that wasn't fastened down. Three inert Ultralinks were pulled into the portal.
"You sure this a good idea, Steel?" inquired Max as he took hold of his Ultralink friend and aimed Steel at the center of the portal. Moments earlier, Metal Elementor, Blast, Prism, and Extroyer were pulled into the portal. With the villains gone, this was their only chance to destroy Dread's machine before it fully activated.
"No, but the other options aren't any better," replied Steel as he got ready.
"Well, here goes nothing!" shouted Max as he channeled his T.U.R.B.O. Energy into the Ultralink.
After a quick charge, a bright blue beam erupted from Steel's eye and struck the center of the portal. The positive and negative charges of the colliding T.U.R.B.O. Energy caused the portal to create a suction effect, drawing in everything. Seconds after the four entered the portal, a colossal eruption of energy exploded from the machine, catching Max, and Steel in the wave.
"Anyone get the number of that bus?" groaned Steel as he hovered up into the air, unlinking himself from Max's chest while his human partner got to his feet.
"No, though a better question would be what happened," answered Max as he got his feet underneath him and stood up, noticing that both he and Steel weren't in Dread's secret base anymore, "And where are we?"
Instead of a dark secret base full of bad guys, the two were in what looked like a forest of some kind.
"We're definitely not in Jersey," quipped Steel, earning a tired groan from Max, however, the levity of the moment was cut off when the duo heard something behind them and a large shadow loomed over the two.
Turning around, Max and Steel both saw an extremely large, gorilla-like creature. It had a lavender chest and face, with a similarly lavender cone sticking out from the top of its head, and noticeably long ears and chin to match. It had green fur all over its body, save for its legs and tail, which were a darker shade of green, and the pink, heart-shaped symbols on its shoulders and arms in a line pattern.
"I'll tell ya what you can do." The gorilla creature sneered, "You can get off my turf before I smash your little faces in."
"You're not Extroyer," commented Max, not at all intimidated by the ape.
"Max Steel: arguably the strongest member of the Fairy Tail Guild."
"I have to congratulate you, Maxwell," praised Dread from the inside of his cell. He had been watching from the sidelines, observing Max, Steel, and the Avengers; noting the many victories over Phantom Lord, Jerral, and many other villains that this new world had to offer.
"You have been very busy," he complimented the eighteen-year-old hero as both Max and Steel were standing outside the cell. Both had a hard look on their respective faces.
Smashing through the ceiling of the cabin, Max Steel in Strength Mode crashed down, coming down between Lucy Heartfilia and Salamander.
"Anyone ever tell you not to mess around with hot metal?" Inquired Max Steel, looming over the Wizard.
"If you think I'm allowing you to stop me again, Max Steel," shouted Toxon as he and the teenage hero were facing off the mutated/deranged scientist shouted, deploying his toxic claws from his gauntlets, "You are very mistaken!"
Just as Toxzon lunged at Max, a fireball struck Toxon in the face, blinding him and pushing the mad scientist back a few meters. Joining the fight was Natsu Dragneel.
"Thought you didn't want to take on Toxzon?" Asked Max Steel, glancing at the Fire Dragon Slayer.
"I'm not gonna let a little bad smell stop me!" Stated the pink-haired wizard, though he gagged as he caught a wif of the lingering odor, "Though wouldn't mind if it was a quick fight."
"Wait a second!" Exclaimed Steel as he disconnected from Max's chest and began to take in everything about the interior of the Fairy Tail Guild, "Magical abilities, guilds, quests, no references to anything we're familiar with!"
"Steel, care to fill me in?" Interjected Max, getting the Ultralink's attention.
"Dude, haven't you figured it out?!" Demanded Steel as he gestured around them, "We've been Isekaid!"
"How would you two like to join Fairy Tail?" asked Makarov, giving the duo a friendly smile.
Both Max and Steel glanced at each other before agreeing to join the guild.
"But then again…"
Without warning, the entirety of the prison shook, catching Max and Steel off guard. Outside, a ship the size of the Daedalus Platform was hovering directly overtop the mansion. Unlike the platform, this ship seemed to be more based on an old WWII battleship. A dark crimson beam shot down towards the prison, not destroying it, but the energy swept across the entire structure and penetrated the ground. The energy kept going until it reached Dread's cell where a black and dark red portal opened up beneath his feet.
"I've also been busy," finished Dread with a sinister tone.
"You are all beneath us, human slugs!" roared Ultimate Elementor, in his air form, floating above Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Gray, and Erza. The monstrous unification of multiple Ultralinks raised its arms above its head, causing several clouds to merge, darkening the sky as lightning flashed, "And beneath us, is where you shall fall!"
Ultimate Air Elementor then sent multiple bolts of lightning at the wizards, forcing them to scatter, however, they were far from safe as he then created several mini tornados, further dispersing them.
"I have plans, Maxwell."
"Ready to find out who's got the better armor or modes?" Asked Max, across from him was Erza Scarlet, the Re-Quip Wizard having challenged the young man and Ultralink to a mock battle, "Don't think Steel or I will go easy on you."
"I would expect nothing less from either of you," replied Erza with a smirk, "Though I must warn you, Max, I won't be going easy on you, as well."
Max grinned, but the moment was interrupted by Steel, "You two gonna flirt all day or are we gonna do this?"
Dread took hold of a device and stabbed it into his arm.
"No!" Shouted Max Steel as he tried to stop the villain, but the endless swarm of Dreadnaughts made getting to his enemy difficult.
Suddenly, Dread's body began to radiate Negative Turbo Energy, similar to how Max's did when he first linked with Steel. In a similar fashion to that fateful linking, an Ultralink Sphere flew towards Dread and burst into a flurry of red triangles and a familiar Ultralink appeared, N'baro Aksteel X376, only with more black parts instead of gunmetal gray.
The Ultralink then flew in front of Dread's chest, locking into position before slamming into Max Steel's enemy's chest in a burst of energy.
Max Steel stood across from Jellal, not saying a word, at least nothing the wizard could hear. Erza's formed friend assumed it had been to his partner, Steel. Whatever Max had told the Ultralink, it resulted in leaving Jellal wide-eyed and teeth clenched. Max's body was visibly pouring out power, a sort of blue mist. Whatever it was, there was no question this energy was insanely powerful. A moment later, Max Steel's body was consumed in a bright flash, causing Jellal to shield his eyes for a moment before looking back. His expression became more apprehensive when he saw Max had entered Exo Strength Mode. The exo armor burning with T.U.R.B.O. Energy.
From the portal that formed in Dread's cell rose Extroyer, Metal Elementor, Blast, and Prism. The four had been trapped in a sort of limbo, between worlds of their old one and the new one.
Max raced over and tried to break the cell shield containing Dread, but couldn't even scratch it.
"No!" shouted Max as he punched the shield again, earning an amused snort from Dread.
"I enjoyed our chat," taunted Dread as he and the newly arrived villains vanished in a black and red flash.
Switching to Exo Strength Mode, Max Steel and the other members of Fairy Tail charged toward Miles Dread and Max's other villains. Dread doing the same, entering a T.U.R.B.O. Mode of his own. Once the two got close, they both threw their punches at each other, resulting in a massive burst of Turbo Energy.
A T.U.R.B.O. Fairy Tale
"I will finish... what we started... Max Steel..."
From the shadows, three yellow eyes arranged in a triangle were shining through the darkness, buried deep within Steel's programming.
