The next day the fairy tail trio were seen walking to their destination. Natsu suggested they walk instead of taking a train. Alec was amused since Natsu suffered from motion sickness, which was the only reason he wanted to walk.

Natsu noticed that Alec and Lucy seemed to be getting closer. This caused him to smile because their family was growing.

"We should pick up the pace." Natsu said causing Alec to raise a brow.

"Slow down, idiot. Lucy doesn't have the stamina that we have! You'll just leave her in the dust." Lucy hated to admit it, but Alec was absolutely right.

Natsu glanced at him and nodded. "Fine, have it your way."

….

Once Alec and the others arrived at the small town of Jibana they met with the client who told them that the bandits had a hideout which was an abandoned building, it used to be a dojo. The Fairy tail wizards immediately made their way to the enemy's hideout.

Alec stood with Natsu and Lucy beside him. "How do you want to go about this?" The blonde asked.

"Hm. Well, first we should figure how many- "Lucy's eyes widened.

"Yo! Bandits bring it ON!"

Alec facepalm. "Idiot." He muttered. Even if they were just bandits, he could at least take the situation seriously. There could be hostages and it was possible that these bandits were stronger than they seemed. Natsu would probably k ow this if he didn't just rush in. "Cmon Lucy, let's go."

The celestial wizard looked at him and nodded. "Right."

…

"How nice of Fairy Tail's own God Slayer to join us for this party."

Alec scowled. 'These guys mean business! I can sense their malice!'

Natsu stared at the man with green hair and matching eyes. His hair was long and silky. "You're a Dragon Slayer." He started picking up the scent of a Dragon radiating from him, which caused him to narrow his eyes.

The man smirked. "Indeed. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Katsuo Willow. The Earth Dragon Slayer."

"Lucy." Alec glanced at her. "Be on guard. I sense multiple negative emotions, rage being the main emotion."

She looked at him with surprise as she didn't know he could sense emotions. She nodded at him and summoned one of her spirits. Aries.

Alec noticed there were about ten men in front of them.

"I'm glad." Katsuo said. "I get to swat some fairies." Murderous intent was directed at them. Alec narrowed his eyes while Natsu ignited his fists, Lucy however began to sweat as she had never been subjected to vile murderous intent before.

Alec, seeing this frowned before he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. As long as we have each other's back we'll be fine. I won't let anything bad happen to you."

Aries looked at her master with worry before summoning pink wool to defend against a punch being sent their way.

Natsu jumped towards Katsuo, his fists blazing with flames. "Fire Dragon's iron fist!"

Katsuo smirked as he transformed into what looked like hardened rock. Natsu looked at him with surprise as his attack didn't do anything. Natsu grunted as he was punched so hard, he crashed into the wall. Due to the force the wall gave out and he flew a few feet outside.

Katsuo dashed towards the hole in the wall before engaging Natsu in battle once more.

Alec wasn't one to judge others, but he could tell these people weren't as strong as the other guy leaving him to believe that Katsuo was their leader.

"You guys can't beat the boss!"

"Nobody can stop our ambition."

"Katsuo-Sama once bested Laxus of Fairy tail." One of them said cockily. Alec looked surprised by that. He never fought against Laxus before, but he was an S class Wizard, and was incredibly powerful.

"Guess I should wrap this up then." Alec said while Aries wrapped multiple tendrils around a few of the enemies' necks and slammed their bodies to the ground knocking them out. Meanwhile Axel rushed the rest of them with surprising speed.

"Wind God's Flash Barrage!" Alec gathered swirling and twisting wind across his hands which augmented the strength of his punches and did some damage to the bandits.

Lucy looked at the scene with mild surprise. He moved like a blur multiple punches and strikes hitting multiple opponents at once.

"Fire Dragon Roar!"

"Fire Dragons wing Attack!"

Alec watched as one of the bandits hit the wall on the opposite side pf him and slid down the wall, unconscious. He looked at the last remaining bandit whose eyes opened as he struggled to breathe clutching his throat as a bubble of wind surrounded him.

Lucy widened her eyes. He could even suffocate someone using his powers! It was a scary ability, but it did the job, she had to wonder why he was so ruthless.

"If Katsuo is as powerful as these guys claim then Natsu is in trouble!"

Lucy had to admit she did hear Natsu struggling a bit earlier. She nodded and ran with Alec, once they got outside, they could see happy circling around before landing next to them.

Alec wasn't surprised to see Natsu on the ground with multiple bruises all over his body. He tried to move but he didn't have any luck.

"Stay put Natsu I got this. Lucy look after him." Alec said.

"Got it!" Lucy said as she walked over to the downed Dragon Slayer

Alec walked towards Katsuo who had a cocky grin on his face.

"Not even Laxus and his infamous Lightning God tribe could take me down, what makes you think you'll have any luck, Fairy?"

"I'm different." He simply said before he began to float in the air causing him to widen his eyes. 'He can fly?!' He thought with shock.

Lucy and Aries widened their eyes. To think he could fly! He floated until he was several feet in the air.

Katsuo grinned. "You're wide open! Now, eat this! Earth Dragon's Roar!" He exclaimed as a vortex of grovel and earth was sent to Alec.

The God Slayer inhaled as he gathered magic into his throat. "Wind God's Bellow!"

Katsuo laughed within his mind as Alex's vortex of wind slammed into his breath attack. The ground trembled as their attack collided. Lucy held a hand up to keep the dust and wind out of her eyes. It really was an intense battle. The two breath attacks continued until there seemed to be an implosion which caused a crater to form where the attacks collided.

Alec did not say anything as he flew at him utilizing his speed and aimed multiple punches and kicks at him, all of which connected but didn't seem to do any damage. Katsuo hardened his fists before swinging the Mm at him, but he backed up and did a series of back flips.

"I can see why Laxus had trouble with you." Alec said, staring down at the enemy. "You're hardening your body. I suppose given your ability his Lightning did not affect you much, but Laxus doesn't have the power of a god!"

Katsuo grunted as Alec ran at him and sent a kick at him, the attack didn't do any damage, but it did send him flying back. Alex gathered wind in his right hand before gathering wind in his left hand as well.

"Dazzling sphere of the Wind God!" A sphere made of wind formed before being sent to Katsuo. It was about the size of three human heads.

Katsuo immediately hardened his body. Earth and rice appearing all over his body. He held his palms out as he guided the wind at him. The enemy grunted as the wind hit him. Upon impact it didn't really seem to do much but pushed him back a bit.

Katsuo grinned. "When are you going to learn- "

All the wizards present widened their eyes as cracks began to form across his body. Meanwhile the attack caused his body to slam on the floor before the wind expanded causing further damage to him and the surrounding area. The ground was carved up and wind was swirling and twisting violently.

Katsuo groaned before crying out in pain. Alec ignored this and flew high in the sky; he fathered wind into his right fist.

"Spiraling Wind Strike of the Wind God!" Alec exclaimed as his fist slammed into Katsuo's. By this point his armor was gone and that last attack caused him to lose consciousness. The attack sent a shockwave which caused Alec's Allies to shield themselves from the attack and all the wind created.

Alec slowly landed on the ground, deactivating his wind. He turned to his comrades and smiled at them as the wind and dust clouds settled. "Mission complete."

Natsu chuckled before coughing as he felt pain all over his body. He always knew Alec was strong, but this was different. He defeated someone even Laxus couldn't beat! 'Huh…I wonder who would win in a fight between Alec and Laxus. That said he's lost in sparks with Erza so whether he could beat Laxus was up in the air.' He thought.

The Fairy Tail wizards watched as what looked like this town's law enforcement made their way towards the scene. Lucy stared at Alec with awe. He was someone amazing, wasn't he? Lucy had heard a few stories about Erza and Laxus and briefly wondered how they compared to someone like Alec. Once the bandits were taken care of, they went to the client's house and got their pay before heading back to Magnolia town.
