AN: So good response to the last chapter, I hope this one goes down just as well. Haven't decided on pairings yet but have had some good ideas, will just have to wait and see if I can develop them.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or Fairy Tail.

(Last Time)

"One chance." Percy said with forced calm. "I will give you one chance to get out of our way."

"Or what?" Cobra sneered. "I can hear every move you will make; you have no chance of defeating me. As for Midnight, well that guy is in a class of his own." Cobra continued giving Midnight a speculative look as he did so.

"Erza, can you deal with the grunts while I deal with these two clowns." Percy said, his hand tightening on the handle of Backbiter, even as the ground at his feet began to crack beneath his feet and the clouds above quickly began to darken. Percy often likened himself to the sea, often he was calm and tranquil, but when riled up he was unpredictable and without mercy, and if there was one thing that got him pissed off it was arrogant shits standing in his way when he was trying to help one of his comrades.

Erza glanced over at Percy, her eyes widening as she saw that his eyes had begun to glow. Nodding her head Erza re-equipped her armour. Switching out her 'Black Wing Armour' for her 'Heaven's Wheel Armour'. Erza's body once again glowed as her black plate armour was replaced by a set of silver armour, this one like the other accentuated her breasts and revealed her lower stomach, the silver armour also had a chainmail skirt and large bladed silver wings, made out of very sharp silver blades. As her armour changed so too did her weapon, instead of the long black blade, she now carried a pair of four foot long swords.

Glancing at her out of the corner of his eyes, Percy cracked a slight smile. "You really are not one for modesty, are you Erza."

Erza looked over at Percy as she heard, enjoying having his appreciative eyes on her, she favoured him with a slight smile. "If you've got it, why not flaunt it?"

"Truer words have never been spoken." Percy said with a slight grin, before he looked back at his two opponents. His eyes once again darkening as he prepared to crush the two people standing in between him and Wendy.

Chapter 5

( With Percy in the Woodsea Forest)

Immediately Percy leapt into action, the ground around him shattering as he moved. The water trapped within the ground exploded out and surrounded Percy, not only was water pulled from the ground though, it was also pulled from the air and drawn from the surrounding forest. Trees and plants withered and died as Percy pulled the water from them, encircling himself in a shroud of water as he closed in on Midnight and Cobra.

Both of his opponents took a few steps back as they saw his sudden charge, both of them were unnerved as they saw the surrounding trees die and the earth dry out and crack. Their apprehension was only momentary however.

"You got the guts to think you can take on a true dragon slayer!" Cobra said a sneer on his face as he covered his hands in his 'Poison Dragon Slayer Magic'.

Percy however wasn't dissuaded; in fact he was only spurred on by Cobra's defiance, already he could feel the joy of battle coming over him. Closing in on the dragon slayer, Percy whipped his hand through the air, creating a long whip out of the surrounding water. Lashing out at Cobra, Percy forced the man to back off, to avoid getting bisected as Percy's whip sliced through whatever got in its way, toppling trees and cut great gouges into the earth.

"Poison Dragon's Roar!" Cobra shouted as he brought one of his hands to his mouth, before he unleashed a large stream of toxic magic at Percy.

Seeing the attack coming, Percy lashed out with his whip again, causing Cobra's familiar, Cubelios, which had been trying to get behind him to back off, and the stoic looking Midnight, to throw up some kind of magical defences that reflected Percy's attack back at him. Scowling at Midnight, absorbing the returned what whip into his shroud of water as he did, a bit confused by what magic the gothic looking boy was using, Percy almost nonchalantly stopped Cobra's attack.

Raising two fingers, Percy used his Toxikinesis, to tear away the poison from Cobra's attack, before he instead reformed it into a spear of liquid poison, which he sent hurtling at Midnight.

Again Midnight used his mysterious magic to reflect the attack back at him, which Percy once again dissolved before it touched him.

"How the hell did you do that?!" Cobra shouted in surprise, as he leapt back again, using his 'Sound Magic' to hear Percy's attacks, allowing him to easily dodge the half a dozen water spears Percy sent his way.

Narrowing his eyes as Percy saw that Midnight had decided to join in the fight. Using what Percy now recognized as 'Reflector Magic', a type of magic that allowed him reflect things, and which also allowed him to distort the air to suit his purposes, such as creating ethereal blades of air, shields, and or manipulating any other form of matter besides humans.

It was a very powerful magic and one Percy hadn't seen for a number of years.

Scowling Percy manipulated the water around him, creating a revolving shield of water that defended him from the blades of air that Midnight was sending at him. Large tentacle like tendrils of water, protruded from the shield, slapping away Midnight's attacks, and lashing out at Cobra, constantly keeping both wizards on their guard. Turning back around, Percy dissolved a part of his shield, reforming it instead into a long blade of water. Swinging his blade around, Percy deflected several of Cobra's strikes as the man attempted to engage him in close combat.

Cobra it appeared had more than a few tricks up his sleeve, the second generation dragon slayer had somehow covered his arms in dragon like scales, his nails now long claws infused with poison magic. The poison and Cobra's claws however weren't the problem, it was the dragon scales, they acted as a form of armour, which Percy's water was not able to easily cut through.

Twisting around Percy stamped on the ground, causing the earth at his feet to explode, creating a wall of debris that blocked the blades of ethereal wind Midnight sent at his back, it also had the added bonus of showering Midnight with rock, forcing him to back off and use his magic to shield him.

Turning back to face Cobra, Percy whipped his water sword up, knocking away Cobra's armoured arm, leaving him open for a riposte.

Cobra's eyes widened as he saw Percy's blade coming for him, he had decided to engage the stronger mage in close combat, seeing as the green eyed wizard was somehow able to usurp control of his "Poison Dragon's Roar", seeing as Cobra's only long and mid ranged magic was based on his dragon slayer magic this left him with limited options.

It was because of this that he went in to attack Perseus in close combat, using his 'Sound Magic' to listen in on Percy's thoughts Cobra had been able to fight him evenly, aided as he was by interference from Midnight. It appeared however that this luck was running out, he had not been able to predict this attack.

Cobra wasn't too worried however, as he was not fighting Perseus alone. Flicking his eyes to the side, a smirk spread across Cobra's face as he saw Cubelios lunging at Perseus form the side. Covering his clawed hand in his 'Poison Magic', Cobra prepared to gut Percy with his claws, the man might be able to counter Cobra's magic from afar, but let's see how he does when it is up close and personal.

Seeing the larger purple snake lunging at him its gaping maw open and its venomous fangs extended, Percy remained completely calm, fully aware that Cobra would try and take advantage of the distraction and that Midnight, who was no longer being bombarded by rock and would soon rejoin the fray.

Raising his left arm, Percy used it to block Cubelios's bite, ignoring the heavy weight on his arm and the compressing feeling he felt as the snake tried to bite through his Curse of Achilles' enhanced skin, a feat which the snake failed, as her teeth instead of piercing Percy's arm, shattered and her jaw broke as it met far more resistance that it was expecting. Ignoring the snake for now, Percy instead continued with his lunge, stabbing his blade forward at the surprised looking Cobra.

The poison dragon slayer made an admirable attempt at dodging, leaping back as he tried to gain some distance and avoid the blade of water that was aimed at him. He would have succeeded in dodging too, if it weren't for the fact that Percy was wielding a blade of water. This is why the blade extended in length as Percy lunged; adding an extra foot of length to the blade, a foot Cobra hadn't been expecting or prepared for.

Cobra let out a gasp of pain as he felt the blade of water lance through his stomach, cutting through his skin and muscle like a hot knife through butter as it protruded from his back, staining the back of his white coat, crimson.

Tearing his blade out of the now heavily bleeding dragon slayer, Percy reformed the blade into a number of sharp spears of water, spears that he sent hurtling at the injured snake he had just shaken off of his unharmed arm. Cubelios didn't even have a chance, as she was still writhing in pain from the loss of her fangs and the damage she had done to her jaw. As such she was not able to move in time to dodge the six spears of water that pierced through her body, pinning her to the ground, as they solidified into dense and reinforced ice.

"CUBELIOS!" Cobra shouted his pain filled eyes wide as he heard the shriek of pain his familiar let out, his previously arrogant eyes locked on the writhing form of the massive purple serpent as it was pinned to the ground by spears.

"You bastard!" Cobra shouted as he turned to look up at Percy, blood spilling form his mouth as he tried to stand up.

Percy however wasn't paying attention to him; instead he was looking at Midnight. Who had started unleashing a barrage of attacks, reflecting anything Percy through at him, back at Percy as he tried to overwhelm Percy with his onslaught. Narrowing his eyes as he saw this, Percy continued to send crescents of condensed water at Midnight, attacks that were usually powerful enough to easily cut a person in two, but which Midnight was easily blocking and reflecting back at him. Only for the attacks to be intercepted by the eight tendrils of water that were writhing around Percy, acting as the ultimate defense as they automatically blocked any attack sent Percy's way.

Frowning to himself, Percy tried to remember what he could about 'Reflector Magic'. 'Reflector Magic' was a form of Magic which enabled its user to twist and distort almost anything. It was able to affect both material things, such as metal, and intangible entities, such as air and light. The magic possessed both great offensive and defensive capabilities: by refracting air, the user was capable of generating highly-destructive flying slashes of various sizes, which possess great cutting power, those were the wind blade she had been throwing at Percy. The magic was powerful, that much was obvious, it was especially dangerous up close, which was why Percy was hanging back, the mages magic might not be able to cut Percy, but there were other possible way he could be temporarily disabled, and with Wendy's life on the line Percy wasn't prepared for that to happen.

Luckily however Percy already had an idea, this magic had a weakness like all things, and Percy had just remembered what this magic's weakness was.

"You cannot stop me." Midnight said stoically, as he sent a three metre wide slash of wind at Percy, hoping to power through the watery shield he was using and kill the man.

Percy however ignored him as he once again manipulated his watery defenses to block Midnight's attack. Turning around to the heavily wounded, yet still shouting and swearing Cobra, Percy reached out with his demigod powers. Cobra suddenly let out a scream of pain as blood exploded from his wound, twisting through the air it formed a large globe of swirling crimson liquid that hovered just above Percy's extended hand.

Blood manipulation perhaps Percy's most deadly ability. Using his control over water Percy could manipulate the water in a human's body, which considering that approximately seventy percent of a human's body was water, that meant there was a lot. With this ability Percy could control the flow of a person bloodstream, allowing him to kill them with but a thought in a hundred different ways, it also meant he could manipulate a person's action, controlling them like a puppet master would control a marionette. This was why the ability was so deadly, but there were also conditions to using it.

People had a natural resistance to this form of manipulation; their bodies provided them with a natural defense against Percy's power. However if that defense was broken, if a person's blood was spilt, then that resistance disappeared. This is exactly what had happened with Cobra, Percy's blade had pierced his body drawing blood, and this gave Percy access to Cobra's blood as it bypassed his body's natural defenses.

Looking at the globe of spinning crimson liquid, Percy glanced over at the shocked looking Midnight. Lashing out with his hand, Percy formed the blood into a spear, which he then preceded to send hurtling at Midnight.

Midnight's eyes widened as he tried to intercept the rapidly oncoming spear, sending out blasts of condensed wind. Percy however easily manipulated the spear, weaving through Midnight's defense as he sent it hurtling at the boy. Creating a shield around him, Midnight tried to block the crimson spear.

He failed.

The spear pierced his shield, before it struck his body, ripping through his chest and sending the young man to the floor with a scream of agony, as he clutched his shoulder. The weakness of 'Reflector Magic' was that it could only affect inorganic things, blood however was organic meaning Midnight's magic could not affect it in the same way it affected Percy's water and earthen attacks.

"Ahhh! You hurt me! You made me bleed!" Midnight screamed as he saw his own blood flowing from the wound, it was the first time in years that Midnight had been hurt and it scared him.

Rolling his eyes at the boy's theatrics, Percy once again drew on his demigod abilities, taking control of Cobra's, Cubelios's and Midnight's blood. He quickly reversed the flow of blood in their system, rapidly starving their brains of blood and forcing all three of them into unconsciousness. Percy could have used his ability to boil the blood in their veins, or freeze it, both of which would have painfully killed all three of them. Luckily for them however, Percy was a Light Wizard or at least mostly a Light Wizard which meant he only took life if he had to, which at the moment he didn't have to do, considering all three of them were down and incapacitated. Percy might be harsh when necessary, but he was not unnecessarily cruel.

Clicking his finger, Percy manipulated the earth beneath the two wizards and the large snake. Making the earth take on a liquid state as it sucked all three unconscious beings into the earth before with another click of his fingers, he solidified it into stone.

That would keep Cobra and Midnight trapped until he had dealt with Brain and Nirvana, after which they would go to prison for however long the Magical Council deemed necessary.

Turning away from the three, Percy's hand once again rested on the handle of his sword. It was true he could have used Backbiter's abilities to defeat both of the wizards, however using his owns powers was just as easy as using Kronos's former weapon. Besides 'Reflector Magic' was very tricky, Midnight could have used it to manipulate Percy's clothing if he had gotten too close, which may sound silly, but would not have been the most pleasant of experiences.

"Erza, have you finished dealing with the grunts yet?" Percy asked as he looked over to where Erza had been battling against the other Dark Wizards sent to face them.

As he did he raised an eyebrow in amusement as he saw the scarlet haired woman glaring around the clearing in irritation. Surrounding her were the fallen bodies of all the of the Dark Wizards she had been fighting, a number of them still had swords sticking out of their bodies, and all of them were heavily injured.

Looking up as she heard his voice, Erza met Percy's amused gaze with another frown. "Yes, though these 'grunts' didn't but up much of a might. Most of them barely lasted a few minutes, and the rest… it was very disappointing."

Percy laughed a bit at that, he could understand why Erza was so put out. She was very much like him; both of them were warriors at heart. Both of them loved the thrill of battle, and joy of fighting strong opponents. No doubt Percy too would have been disappointed if he had won such an easy victory.

"How did your fight go?" Erza asked as she looked over at the unconscious and pale faces of Midnight and Cobra.

"It was interesting. The dragon slayer was able to read my thoughts and predict my attacks, defeating him though was not too difficult after I cleared my mind and fought instinctively. The one with makeup though, he was tricky, he had an especially annoying magic." Percy replied with a smile as he approached Erza. "I ended up having to pullout one of my trump cards to defeat him."

Erza's eyes flickered towards the golden hilted sword he had sheathed at his waist.

Seeing her look, Percy shook his head as his hand once again rested on the pommel of the blade. "No not the sword, I ended up having to manipulate Cobra's blood to get around Midnight's 'Reflector Magic'."

"An organic attack, I bet he didn't see that coming." Erza replied a look of pity on her face as she looked down at the two unconscious wizards. When Mira, Laxus and herself had been trained with Percy, all three of them had been victim to his blood manipulation technique, and all three of them knew how truly terrifying it was. Fortunately though all three of them had learned how to resist it, with enough will power and a significant use of magic you could block Percy's attempt at controlling your blood, but you had to have knowledge of his technique to know how to fight it. This was why Percy had used it, to teach the three of them how to resist magic when it was used to control them.

Still though the feeling of being controlled like that was horrible, and Erza pitied them, even if they were Dark Wizards.

"Are they dead or just unconscious?" Erza asked as she re-equipped her armour, replacing her 'Heaven's Wheel Armour' with her 'Black Wing Armour'. Once again going with her standard choice of armour and sword as she prepared to continue on to where Brain was holding Wendy.

"They're all unconscious, what about the ones you were fighting?" Percy asked as he turned on his heel and began to lead the way in the direction of where he could still feel sense Wendy.

"Four of them died, the rest are just incapacitated though." Erza replied bluntly, she felt bad that four of those fighting her had died, but they had chosen to become Dark wizards, just as they had chosen to help murderous kidnappers like the members of Oración Seis, they had died because of their own actions and choices.

Percy nodded at that, not saying any words of comfort as he knew she didn't need them. As her former mentor he had taught her the necessity of preserving life where possible, just as he had taught her how sometimes you had no choice but to take life. She didn't need words of comfort as she was a fully grown woman who understood the meaning of having power and knew the responsibility of using it, and was more than aware of how taking a life was sometimes unavoidable when dealing with hostile Dark Wizards.

(With Angel on the Christina)

Angel smiled to herself as she surveyed the forest below her. Angel loved to fly; in her mind it was the feeling of freedom that it gave her that she loved. Even flying on this airship was amazing for her, standing on the prow of the ship as it cut through the air, the feeling of clouds around her, it gave her chills. Looking down at the leafy forest canopy, Angel scanned the area, trying to see where Nirvana could possibly be.

In truth Angel didn't really care much for Nirvana, it was Brain's dream, and she and the others were just along for the ride. Angel wasn't all that interested in being a member of Oración Seis either, she just kind of fell into it when Brain found her after she escaped the Tower of Heaven. The older man had taught her magic and given her a purpose, which at the time was all she had wanted. She had just escaped the life of a powerless slave, the feeling of being given power and control was something she had been desperate for.

But now she had it Angel found herself disinterested in using that power to control others. Many in her position would have fallen into that trap, certainly the other former slaves; Racer, Midnight, Cobra and Hoteye had all fallen into that trap. They had gone from the abused to the abusers, often using their magic to kill and intimidate other people, mainly other Dark Wizards so they could force them to do their bidding and swear loyalty to Oración Seis. They couldn't be blamed though, they were damaged goods, and had been taken under the wing of a cruel and manipulative wizard like Brain. None of them really had a chance to be decent people.

It was ironic, in Angel's mind at least that they had gone from slaves at the Tower of Heaven to being Brain's slaves. Which is what they were, they might be stronger and more powerful but they still had no choice but to do his bidding, they all knew they would be killed if they tried to leave Oración Seis, just as they would be killed if they disobeyed his orders.

This was probably the only reason Angel had stuck around, the others she knew loved being members of Oración Seis, Angel though… she didn't particularly care. It was as Angel was thinking this to herself, idly staring out over the sea of leaves beneath her that she noticed an explosion of fire in the tree below.

Looking down, a bored look on her face Angel raised an eyebrow as she saw a large ball of fire approaching the Christina.

"Put up the lacrima shields." Angel called out, knowing as she did that the Broken Nose Guild, the Dark Wizard Guild who were crewing this ship for her, would follow her orders.

Just like she expected, she could feel the hum of the large lacrima's that powered the ship as power was redirected from the engines to the shields. A large turquoise bubble began to surround the ship, a defense that would protect them from magical attacks. This was exactly what it did, as the ball of fire struck the shield and exploded around it, the flames never getting close to the Christina.

"It seems there are Light Wizards in the forest below." Angel said out loud as she scanned the forest floor, quickly identifying the culprit as a pink haired young man, wearing a black waist coat and a white scarf. As she watched the grinning man took another large breath of air before he sent another large fireball at the airship.

"Start dropping the bombs." Angel said as she glanced to her side, "Also have the crew come out onto the deck and have them prepared to repel boarders."

A few seconds later she heard her orders being shouted through the ship as multiple Dark Wizards flooded onto the deck and bombs began to drop from specially made hatches on the bottom of the airship.

"My Lady, do you not think this is overboard, there is only one of them?" Magnus, the Guild Master of the Broken Nose Guild said as he looked to Angel.

Angel's blue eyes focused on the man, taking in his fat form, bearded face and his bald head. "The man in the forest is Natsu Dragneel, a fire dragon slayer and a member of Fairy Tail, he is a powerful foe. He is also likely not alone; this is no doubt a distraction of some sort."

"A distraction?" Magnus asked as he saw yet another large fireball explode on the lacrima shield, even as he saw the culprit sprinting through the trees, avoiding the bombs and they tore up the forest around him.

"Yes, if he is attacking from the front, I think it is likely his companions will attack from behind. I want you to lead your Guild to the back and get rid of any unwanted guests." Angel said calmly as she surveyed the destruction below her. "Also tell the engine crew to charge up the Jupiter Cannon."

"As you say My Lady." Magnus replied with a salute, a bead of sweat running down his face as he saw the almost bored way the dangerous woman in front of him spoke and acted, even when they were being attacked.

( - )

(With Eve, Gray, Lyon and Ren)

"Everyone remember to stick together, we don't know how many people are on this ship, I don't want anyone to get isolated and outnumbered." Lyon said as he looked at the other three.

The group had boarded the airship, getting on just before the lacrima shield had been raised, and it was a good thing too. None of the group had thought that the Dark Wizard's would respond as promptly as they had.

"Agreed, now let's start moving, it sounds like they have started charging up the Jupiter Cannon, we will need to disable it before it can fire." Ren said a scowl on his face as he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to vibrate.

"Alright, let's just get on with this!" Gray snapped out impatiently as he looked over the balustrade that lined the ship, a scowl on his face as he saw the destruction that was being caused by the Christina's bombardment. "I am not sure how long Natsu can last down there."

Lyon also looked over the side at that. "Agreed."

Before anything else could be said they were distracted by the sounds of boots thumbing on metal.

"Damn it we've been discovered!" Lyon cursed as he saw more than a dozen Dark Wizard's charging at them, a large bald, bearded man leading them.

"Steel Make: Cannon!" Magnus shouted as he slammed his hands on the metal floor of the deck. As he did so a large silver magical circle appeared under his hands, three large metal cannon barrels also took shape, all three of which fired as they appeared.

"Another 'Maker Magic' user" Gray said in surprise as he slammed his left fist on the palm of his right hand. "Ice Make: Shield!"

A large shield took form in front of Gray as he did that, one which was bolstered by Lyon as he used the same spell. With three loud explosions the three cannon balls smashed into the icy shield, causing multiple cracks to form, but not quite breaking through.

"Ice Make: Bow!" Gray shouted as he formed a bow made out of ice, before he drew an icy arrow and sent it hurtling at the Dark Wizard.

"Ice Make: Snow Gorilla!" Lyon shouted as he created an eight foot tall gorilla made out of animated ice, a construct which he then sent charging towards the now frightened Dark Wizards.

"Dammit, you two hold this lot off. Eve and I will try and destroy the engines." Ren shouted as he surrounded himself and Eve in a dome of wind, which then proceeded to lift off the ground and fly over the crowd of Dark Wizards.

"No! Don't split up!" Lyon shouted in response, creating a tiger out of ice as he did so, which he then sent to maul the 'Steel Make' wizard, the tiger tearing into the surprised man's arm as he fell back into his own Guild members.

"Don't worry about it; you two can catch up with us!" Ren replied as he saw that Gray and Lyon were making quick work of the Dark Wizards, this Guild was clearly one of the weaker, cannon fodder type Guilds.

Ignoring Lyon's shouts, Ren brought both Eve and himself back to the ground, the both of them breaking into a run as they ran to the front of the ship. The both of them as members of Blue Pegasus didn't want to destroy their prized airship, which was why they broke off hoping to retake control of it instead, they did after all know about the destructive nature of the Fairy Tail wizards.

"Idiots!" Gray snarled as he created two swords out of ice, which he then proceeded to use to cut down the surrounding Dark Wizards. The area they were fighting on was only narrow, which meant that the opposing Dark Guild could not bring their full numbers to bare, this meant both Lyon and Gray could fight side by side and take down the Dark's Wizards three at a time.

Already their Guild leader was down, his arm mangled by Lyon's snow tiger. The rest of the Guild was already showing fear in the face of Lyon and Gray's obvious power and skill advantage.

"Ice Make: Lance!" Gray shouted in frustration as he created a six foot lance of ice, which he then went on to send flying at the crowd of Dark Wizard, the lance exploding in a shower of icy shards as one of the Dark Wizards sent a blast of fire to block it.

Both Gray and Lyon may be more skilled than the average Dark Wizard, but they were still outnumbered and had quite a task ahead of them defeating the growing group of Dark Wizard's opposing them.

(With Angel)

Angel frowned as she heard the thump of feet behind her; it appeared that Magnus was not able to defeat the Light Wizards. This was annoying for Angel, but not overly so, a part of her was happy that she was able to predict her enemy's move like she had, it was just a pity that the wizards she was working with were subpar.

Turning around, her white feather dress rustling slightly in the wind as she did so, Angel raised an eyebrow as she saw that it was the two Blue Pegasus mages, Ren and Eve, she believed who were facing her. A light smile spread across her face as she remembered the last time she had faced a Blue Pegasus mage, it had been a fellow Celestial Wizard like herself, an arrogant woman called Karen… something or other. The girl had tried to fight her, but had ended up getting killed due to her own arrogance.

An amused expression spread across Angel's face as she saw that both Ren and Eve had adopted fighting stances.

"So you think you can handle me by yourself." Angel said with a light smile as she moved forward, making sure to sway her hips a bit, she had heard how pervy these 'Trimens' were. Pulling out a golden key, Angel gave the two young men a bored look, as she twirled her Celestial Key in her hand.

'A Celestial Spirit mage.' Ren thought as he saw the golden key in her hand, a key that he recognized as having once belonged to a member of his Guild.

"Open… Gate of the Scorpion." Angel said as she swiped the key through the air. Appearing to her right in a flash of golden light was a tall man, bare-chested, dark skinned man, with short hair which was coloured half red on one side and half white on the other, around his legs was a red cloth making a skirt that reached his ankles. Behind him was a large metallic tail that resembled a scorpion's.

"Haha!" Scorpio shouted a large grin on his face, as he was called to the mortal plain by his summoner. "Who am I fighting today Angel!"

"Scorpio, dispose of them." Angel said in reply, as she gestured at the two Blue Pegasus members.

"You got it Angel." Scorpio replied and dropped down to all fours with his tail pointing at Ren and Eve.

"Sand Buster." Scorpio shouted as he summoned a large whirlwind of sand from the tail, sending it hurtling towards Ren and Eve.

"White Fury!" Eve shouted in response as he summoned up a storm of snow magic, before he sent it at the tornado of sand.

Ren followed it up with his own attack; swinging his arms in a circular motion, he created a cyclone of wind and merged it with the blizzard nearly tripling its size and speed. As he glared harshly at Angel, that key in the woman's hand had once belonged to Karen Lilica, a member of his Guild, a member who was murdered by another Celestial Wizard.

Scorpio's cyclone of sand was too powerful though, and it ripped through Ren and Eve's conjoined attack before continuing on its way straight for them. The two members of the Trimens were completely blown back by Scorpio's sand attack as two screams of pain tore through the air. Their bones creaked and their muscles tore from the amount of force put behind the attack.

An uncaring expression crossed Angel's face as she saw this; she may not enjoy killing or using her powers to abuse others like her comrades. But it didn't mean that she would be merciful on those who attacked her, it was one of the reasons why Karen had died in the first place, Angel didn't go out of her way to start fights, but she sure as hell finished them."Open… Gate of the Chisel. Caelum."

A large, silver, metallic sphere with a metal halo over it appeared to Angel's right.

"Keep them down Scorpio and finish them Caelum." Angel said.

Scorpio nodded a vicious grin on his face as he sent another cyclone of sand at the two battered looking Blue Pegasus mages, lifting them both up and slamming them into the wall of the airship. These men threatened Scorpio's master, so as far as he was concerned death was too good for them.

The sphere, Caelum, then glowed as its body shifted so that it had gun barrels sticking out the front of it and odd wing like features on its sides, the gun barrels glowed before firing several magical blasts. All of which struck the two trapped Blue Pegasus mages.

"That's enough Scorpio." Angel said as she gestured for her Celestial Spirit to cease his onslaught.

Two dull thumping sounds rang out, as both Eve and Ren collapsed to the floor, no longer held captive against the airship's wall by Scorpio's cyclone of sand. A large pool of blood began to spread across the deck.

(With Lucy, Hibiki and Sherry)

"How is it coming along Ichiya?" Lucy asked as she looked over the shoulder of the much shorter man.

She and Sherry had found the Blue Pegasus Ace unconscious, gagged and trussed up in one of the downstairs bathrooms in the Blue Pegasus Mansion. Suffice to say it had been very embarrassing for all parties, and it had been decided that none of the three involved would speak of it again. Especially considering the fact that Ichiya had been tied up with his trousers and boxers still around his ankles, this had made it a very uncomfortable experience for Sherry and Lucy to free him from his restraints. So much so that Lucy had ended up summoning her Celestial Spirit, Cancer, to free the little man.

"It should not be long; my potent 'Parfum of Healing' should restore Jura back to full health. Already my 'Paralyzing Parfum' has left his system." Ichiya replied, his low voice somewhat strained as he fought off the embarrassment of being ambushed in the toilets, before having to be rescued in such an unmanly position.

To take his mind off of it he was currently leaning over the still unconscious Jura, a small blue vial in his hands as he used his magic to try and revive the unconscious Wizard Saint.

"From what you have described the mission seems to have stumbled. Young Wendy kidnapped, the mighty Christina stolen." Ichiya replied with a dramatic shake of his head.

"It is not as bad as all that" Lucy replied gently. "Perseus and Erza are going to get Wendy so she will be fine, and the others are retaking the Christina."

"Indeed, with our comrades acting so valiantly to see the mission completed, it is only proper that Jura and myself pull our weight." Ichiya replied, as the Wizard Saint began to stir, his eyes slowly opening, and his body beginning to move.

"You're right Ichiya sir!" Hibiki said enthusiastically, as he played with the glowing golden keyboard of his 'Archive Magic'. "If we want to help though we will have to get moving and meet up with the rest of the Alliance at the rendezvous spot."

"Then we had best get moving." Came the deep voice of Jura as he finally regained control of his muscles and pushed himself to a sitting position.

( - )

(With Percy and Erza)

Erza and Percy both cautiously advanced into the cave system that they found within the abandoned settlement.

"Be careful, I can only now sense Wendy, Carla and Happy up ahead, but it is possible to hide from my senses." Percy said as he led Erza through the maze of tunnels.

The two of them soon exited the tunnel and entered into a large cavern, a large cavern that currently echoed with the stifled sobs from the hunched over form of Wendy, as she wept in the middle of the cave, both Happy and Carla trying to comfort her.

Seeing the girl they were looking for, Erza rushed over to make sure she was okay, her sword in hand as she searched her surroundings for any danger.

Percy meanwhile scowled as he realised they had missed Brain, the man was no longer here, nor was his companion, whoever it was. Looking around the cave, Percy's eyes soon fell on an empty T-shaped coffin that was resting against the back wall of the cave.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he saw that. Turning away from the coffin he quickly strode over to where the others were. His expression softening as he saw how upset the blue haired dragon slayer was. Kneeling down Percy gently picked Wendy up, allowing the younger girl to bury her head into his shoulder as she continued to cry. The girl was no doubt frightened by what had happened, but she looked totally unharmed, which led Percy to believe that she was upset about something else.

Standing up with the girl held gently in his arms, Percy looked down at the two Exceeds, both of them were looking quite forlorn as they looked back at Percy.

"Right we will head back to the rendezvous spot and you two can tell us what happened on the way there." Percy said decisively as he began to leave the cave, Wendy in his arms, Erza and the Exceeds following after him. "I need to know everything that happened."

Both Carla and Happy nodded as they took to the air and began flying after Percy. Erza gave a curious look over at the empty coffin before she too followed after them.

(With Brain)

Brain quickly rushed through the Woodsea Forest, uncaring of all else as he rushed towards his goal. He had discovered the location of Nirvana. The girl had caved in and had willingly revived Jellal for him. Brain had then proceeded to use his magic to tear through Jellal's mind trying to find where Oración Seis could be. The man's mind had been damaged no doubt due to the trauma of almost dying, but Brain had managed to get the information he wanted, even if his doing so had only made the damage worse

Ideally Brian would have recruited Jellal to join him, after all, a number of his Guild were now dead and replacements would be needed. Unfortunately though he did not have the time, Midnight and Cobra had failed, the fact he lost two more black symbols from his body was evidence enough of that. The cretins had barely bought Brain fifteen minutes, and both Perseus and Erza were coming.

This was why he had been forced to rush; he hadn't even started ripping the information from Jellal's mind when the two of them had entered the cave system. Luckily though he had been able to grab Jellal and teleport away, which put enough distance between him and the Light Wizards for him to raid Jellal's mind and get the location.

What happened to Jellal after that Brain didn't care about; he had left the blue haired mage passed out almost comatose behind him. The man would likely be useless to Brain now, his mind was too damaged, the former Wizard Saint would be too uncontrollable and dangerous for Brain to keep around, this was a pity as the man had once been very powerful, the greatest of Brain's former students.

Not that any of that mattered now. Coming to a stop Brain's eyes gleamed in the gloom of the forest as he looked at what was in front of him. He had found Nirvana. It had cost him the majority of his Guild to do so, but so what, they could be replaced. What was important though was that he had found Nirvana and all he needed to do was unseal it.

(With Percy)

Pushing on through the Woodsea Forest heading for the rendezvous zone Percy was listening to Happy and Carla's explanation of how Wendy had been forced to heal Jellal Fernandes, a very powerful Dark Wizard, a former Wizard Saint and a former member of the Magical Council. If anyone would know the location of Nirvana it would probably be this man, and the fact he was once again among the living was worrying.

Glancing to his side, Percy's eyes widened as he saw the stone cold look on Erza's face. His old student had once been close friends with Jellal in her childhood, when they had both been slaves in the Tower of Heaven. Unlike Erza though who had become a strong, confident Fairy Tail mage, Jellal had given in to his darker urges and had taken up the mantle of the new ruler of the Tower of Heaven and had tried to complete its function.

He had tried to revive Zeref, the darkest wizard of all time.

Percy had only heard bits and pieces about what had happened, but he knew enough to know that the old friends were now bitter enemies. More than that though, he had been under the impression that Jellal was dead. It appeared that this was false, but judging by the anger he could sense in Erza it might become fact soon enough.

Looking down at the sad looking Wendy in his arms, Percy now realised why she had been so upset. She was upset because she was ashamed of what she had done; she had revived Jellal, all out of some misguided debt she felt to him. Percy could understand why she was so upset, but had been quick to assuage her worries by saying he didn't blame her, Erza had also chimed in with her support. Putting aside her hatred for Jellal as she instead focused on the bigger picture.

A sudden explosion of power nearby gained the attention of the entire group. Looking to the source, Percy's eyes widened as he saw a pillar of black and white energy extending into the sky. Stopping his run, Percy was soon joined by his companions as they stared at the pillar of energy.

"It appears Nirvana has been awakened." Percy said blandly.

"Well shit." Erza muttered a scowl on her face as she glared at the pillar of energy.

(With Natsu)

Running through the forest, Natsu constantly had to dodge and swerve as the forest behind him exploded. He had long since given up on returning fire as the Christina continued its bombardment. Instead he was focused on dodging the nonstop bombardment of bombs that still rained down from the airship.

Luckily though, the ship had slowed down, no longer moving as fast as it had been going. This had meant that Natsu was able to put some distance between him and the explosions.

Jogging through the forest, Natsu was soon drawn to a stop as he saw a pillar of black and white power explode into the sky.

The pink haired dragon slayer's mouth opened in surprise, he was able to quickly come to the conclusion that Nirvana had been unsealed and even he knew that this was bad.

Looking behind him at Nirvana and then back at the pillar of light, Natsu quickly made a decision. There was only so much he could do down here, and with the lacrima shield now surrounding Christina he likely couldn't board the ship. No, Natsu was sure he would be better if he go and stop Nirvana.

With that in mind he began to run in the direction of Nirvana.

He barely made it a hundred metres though, before he was stopped as the ground in front of him exploded. Looking up Natsu quickly found the source of the attack.

A blue haired man was standing fifteen or so metres away, a black coat around his shoulder and a distinctive red tattoo around his right eye. The man currently had an ugly expression on his face as he glared hatefully at Natsu, and his hands were currently glowing a golden colour as he prepared another attack.

"Jellal!" Natsu snarled, his anger bubbling to the surface as he saw the man who had hurt his friend Erza, a man who had tried to kill him, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Erza and Juvia. A man Natsu could quite frankly say he truly hated.

A hateful expression quickly crossed Natsu's face as his hands lit up with fire, all thoughts of Nirvana disappeared as he instead had one thing in mind, he was going to kill this man. Jellal mirrored these same thoughts as he stood opposite Natsu.

In the background the baleful light from Nirvana could be seen as its magic took its toll on its first victims.

AN: So a lot of shit happened this time, things have shifted to the Light sides favour for now as they slowly whittle down the enemy forces. Oración Seis still has some fight left. I have to say I always loved this arc in Fairy Tail, the characters were really interesting and the bad guys you could somewhat sympathies with.

Also as you can see Percy is pretty powerful, and that's when he is in the middle of the country. Imagine what he would be like at the sea where he is at his greatest. All his abilities so far are based off of his canon abilities, only those abilities have been strengthened by the Curse of Achilles and time and Percy's own vast skill with using them. I don't think he is overpowered though as in the World of Fairy Tail there are some ridiculously powerful magical people can use, like seriously it is ridiculous.

Anyway next chapter should be out soon.

I hope you all continue to read and review.

See you all next time.

Seagate.
