Daryan and Shadowlore just watched as members of both Fairy Tail and White Eclipse battled Grimoire Heart's leader, Hades. "Hey, Daryan…" Shadowlore nudged Daryan's shoulder while keeping his eyes on the fighting.
"Yes?" Daryan asked, not turning his head, but his attention to Shadowlore.
"I know you know you can take him out in one shot…he IS human, after all…" Shadowlore replied.
"I know," Daryan merely nodded.
"So why don't you?" Shadowlore asked.
"Simple. It's not our fight," Daryan replied. "We've already done our job. They wouldn't be fighting if we didn't save them."
"I think you're missing the point…" Shadowlore sighed.
"We have to fight…!" Alex said while pouting, looking up at Daryan. "Cynthia's out there fighting, so we should help!"
"We have been helping!" Daryan groaned.
"If Gaia were here she'd be fighting!" Alex replied.
"…Tch…Where is that stupid dragon when you need her…!" Daryan grumbled.
"Daryaaaaaaaan!" Shouted Hiruka, the forgettable exceed partner to Daryan.
"Eh?" Daryan turned around, noticing the gray cat. "Hiruka! Where the hell have you been!?"
"Sorry, sorry!" Hiruka shouted while flailing his arms. "I took a side trip on my way back! I think it was worth it though!"
"Oh really?" Daryan raised a brow. "Pray tell, what was it?"
"It's a surprise!" Hiruka chuckled to himself.
"Ugh…" Daryan just rolled his eyes.
"Ice Dragon's Roar!" Waiston roared out as he opened his mouth, sending a funnel of ice towards Hades. The hit slammed into Hades, causing the old man to slide back, but it didn't do much damage due to the fact he had immense endurance. "Gah…did that even do anything?!" Before Waiston could even move, Hades used his Chain Magic to latch two chains on Waiston's shoulders; Hades then used his immense strength to swing Waiston around, mainly into the other members of Fairy Tail and White Eclipse.
"I got you!" Alex shouted as she turned her right arm into a sword, jumping forward and slashing through the chain with ease, causing Waiston to hit the ground.
"Oof…thanks…" Waiston nodded while rubbing the back of his head.
Jaxon and Levy stepped forward in front of Waiston. Jaxon placed his hands forward, creating a blue magic seal. "Rain Needle!"
As Jaxon performed his spell, Levy wrote the word "fire" in the air, and the words blazed. "Solid Scipt: Fire!" Exclaimed Levy as the two attacks traveled forward, eventually merging together to create a unison raid of fire and water that raced towards Hades.
"Pathetic…" Hades held his hand out, an almost transparent purple barrier forming in front of him. The barrier took the unison raid head on, but the magic was then converted into darkness magic, which Hades then fired right back at Jaxon and Levy, but before the attack could reach, a magic circle appeared in front of the two, "eating" the attack. "Hm…"
"That's one of Master's moves…" Jaxon said as he looked to his left, noticing Calium. The magic circle then reappeared above Hades, shooting down the darkness beam he fired off, but Hades jumped back, avoiding the impact.
As Hades jumped back, Makarov formed a magic seal before himself, unleashing multiple streams of light on the former Fairy Tail master, also known as his Light Rain attack, but Hades defended against this attack by using his Bullet Magic, countering nearly every light stream coming his way. "You brats need to stay back!" Makarov demanded.
"No way!" Cana shouted. "We're not leaving you to deal with this one alone! We can beat him together!"
"She's right!" Lisanna nodded. "Let us help! Natsu and his team beat him twice! We have to show them that we can win too! They're counting on us…!"
"And we want to pull through!" Levy nodded.
"Your kids are really annoying sometimes, you know that…?" Calium shook his head as he spoke to Makarov before turning to White Eclipse. "And what about you?"
"You're old," Jack started with a playful grin. "You shouldn't put too much weight on your shoulders, you know?"
"Plus, like they said, the others are counting on us!" Nami nodded. "Let us help!"
"I guess no isn't an answer here no matter what…" Calium sighed. "You brats are growing up…"
"I'm taking that as a yes!" Michio grinned, creating multiple illusions of himself behind him.
"A Man will never stay down!" Elfman exclaimed as he entered his Beast Soul Takeover, now towering above most of the others.
"As a team, we can overcome anything!" Levy nodded.
"Ah…their over enthusiasm makes me sick…" Shadowlore shook his head while sighing.
"You have to admit…it's a little infectious though…" Daryan couldn't help but chuckle; he then looked down at Alex, who was looking up at the two while pouting. "So, you've been infected with it too, eh?"
"Please…!" Alex continued to pout.
"Fine, fine…" Daryan sighed, stepping forward. "I guess we'll help…"

"Tough guy, huh?" Aloysius chuckled as he circled around Sidney, who had yet to make a move. "Guess you think you can stand up to Rapture?"
"I know I can stand up to your magic," Sidney replied, keeping his eyes locked on the ace of Silent Sanctum.
"Is that so?" Aloysius grinned and several magic circles appeared on Sidney's body. "Seventh Rapture!" Aloysius snapped his fingers, causing the circles to explode, creating a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Sidney was still in the same position he was when the attack struck. "Eh?!"
"Like I said…" Sidney replied with his usual expression, no trace of cockiness in his voice whatsoever.
"I have more than one magic, unfortunately for you!" Aloysius grinned, pointing his hands forward as a magic seal with a star in the middle appeared, unleashing multiple light arrows in Sidney's direction. "Heavenly Arrows!"
"Hm…" Sidney just watched as the arrows came his way. He then clapped his hands, disappearing in a puff of white smoke, reappearing behind Aloysius. After the teleportation, Sidney swung his leg at Aloysius' side, putting quite a bit of power into it.
"Meteor!" Aloysius exclaimed as soon as Sidney vanished. A heavenly light appeared around Aloysius' body, and he flew off into the air, now above Sidney, who just missed his kick. "Ghost mage, right?" Aloysius grinned as he extends his arms, "Ghost Fireworks!" From his arms, a flurry of ghost shot out towards Sidney.
Sidney merely shook his head, placing his foot on the ground, creating a magic circle. "Resurrection: Phantoms." From the magic circle, several cliché looking phantoms appeared. These phantoms were dangerous to make contact with as they could drain the magic supply of those they make contact with. The phantoms clashed with the incoming ghost, creating a surprising explosion.
Aloysius landed on the ground, rolling his neck with a smirk. "That's how it is, huh?"
"Aloy…" Jikan said as he literally appeared into the room.
"Hm?" Aloysius turned his attention away from Sidney and turned it on Jikan. "What's going on?"
"It's about that time," Jikan said with a nod. "We should be taking our leave."
"It's like that, eh? Kihehe…" Aloysius exited his fighting stance and walked over to Jikan. "Shame, I was enjoying myself too." Jikan pulled out his pocket watch, and in a flash, he and Aloysius vanished.
"That's the same way he vanished last time…" Sidney said to himself as he thought back to his battle with Aloysius alongside Gildarts and Jura several months ago during the Fiore's End incident. "Doesn't matter now I suppose…"

"A pirate!" Was the first thing Tsami said immediately upon seeing Ceaser.
"…I'm not a pirate, Shorty," Ceaser replied.
"Then why do you have an eye patch?" Tsami replied while pointing at the eye patch over Ceaser's eye.
Ceaser would've answered, but the mage had a horribly short attention span, so he ignored Tsami and looked around. "…What are we talking about again?"
"…Good to see you haven't changed, Ceaser…" Rylo said with a slight laugh. "Now…Where's Evanee…?"
"I haven't seen her…" Alexander said while looking around. "She should be fine though…"
"We have to look for her…" Rylo said as a somewhat worried expression appeared on his face.
"Do you even remember which way she took?" Adacore asked. "This place is huge…it's lucky Ceaser and I found you guys here."
"You guys take Sammy and Melanie back," Taranis said while pushing Tsami and Melanie to Adacore, Alexander, and Ceaser. "Rylo and I can look for Evanee."
"Not a bad plan," Alexander nodded.
"Let's go," Rylo turned and immediately turned and began the search for Evanee.

"Kuro, Reve, Zalen!" Sakeo clapped her hands from excitement at the sight of her guild members. Though she was trapped behind a set of runes.
"Saeko!" Kuro couldn't help but smile that the pinkette was okay.
"How did you all get past the runes…I thought only one from each guild could pass?" Saeko asked.
"I made another path," Zalen replied with a confident smirk.
"No need to fear, your strongest guild's strongest team is here," Reve said with a smirk. "Now, how do we get rid of these runes?"
"You die," Kiora said as she walked into the room, holding a scythe in her hands.
"Who's this…?" Zalen inquired as he took a step back.
"I dunno, but, I do not like it," Reve said as a pistol requipped into his hands.
"Why not?" Kiora asked as a twisted grin appeared on her features. "Don't you want to play with lil' old Kora?"
"The stars say this woman is scary…" Saeko said.
"Hm…The script doesn't call for this fight…" Hyde stated as he appeared from nowhere, tapping his chin a few times.
"What the hell do you want?" Kiora asked as she turned to face Hyde.
"It says right here in your character description, sometimes you're a fun character, other times you aren't, and right now, I'm not really feeling your importance right now…" Hyde continued, though his statement got on the S class mage's nerves.
"Excuse you!?" Kiora took her scythe, now swinging it at the head of the scriptwriter, though Hyde easily dodged it by swaying his head to the side.
"Such a temper…Perhaps you could cool off…" Hyde chuckled before pointing his hand down, creating a black magic seal under Kiora. The circle then turned into a black hole, which quickly began to take Kiora under.
"What the hell are you doing…!?" Kiora asked as she now began to claw her way from the black hole, failing miserably.
"Making sure the script goes as I wrote it," Hyde replied as Kiora slipped into the darkness, the hole closing after, and the runes faded. "There we go." Hyde then turned to the on guard Reve, Kuro, and Zalen, merely waving them off after. "Do not worry about me yet, team Volver. The script has plans for you later…" With that, Hyde vanished once again.
"Who the hell was that…?" Reve asked as his gun vanished.
"The stars say we should watch out for him…" Saeko responded. "The Dark Phantom…"

"AH!" Lucy cried out as she narrowly avoided a Regulas Impact from Loke by rolling to the side, now pulling out the single golden she had on her. "Gate of the Twins, I open thee! Gemini!" In a puff of smoke, the two twins appeared.
"You still have a key left? No matter…" Ruika pointed her hand forward. "Destroy them!"
"Gate of the Twin Fish, I open thee! Pisces!" Yukino called out causing a bright light appear, summoning the large twin fish.
"Taurus, get rid of them!" Ruika exclaimed. Taurus nodded, pulling his axe back. With a battle cry of a moo, he swung his axe towards the first fist, but he just missed.
"Gemini, change into me!" Lucy called out, and the spirit did as it was told, changing into Lucy, with a set of her keys. Just as Gemini finished the transformation, Loke slammed his Regulas Impact into Lucy, causing her to almost fly back, but she just barely held her ground. "Loke, listen to me!"
"He can't hear you! Neither of them can! How many times to I have to tell you? Gosh, you're so stupid…" Ruika sighed.
"I know he's in there somewhere, and so are my other spirits! Lucy replied. "Gemini!"
"Gate of the Archer, I open thee!" Gemini started, pulling out the key of Sagittarius. They attempted to summon the spirit, but nothing happened once the key was used. "Huh…?"
"It…It didn't work…?" Lucy's eyes widened with horror and shock.
"My magic is stronger…" Ruika replied with a grin, patting the keys on her hip. "Like I said, they're my keys now…"
