Chapter 7: Wall the War Machina

In the location where Gray and the other Fairy Tail wizards were. "The sandstorm's over!"

Leone sighed in relief. "Finally, that was a pain in the ass."

Miyaka sensed some danger approaching from the dust that was clearing up. "Guys, I sense more enemies coming over there!"

She was right, once the dust on the enemy side cleared, they saw eight strange metallic beings standing in front of them in a line. "Who the hell are they?" Leone questioned.

Chelsea had more of a prominent question. "The big question is, where did they come from?"

All eight soldiers came at the group head-on. "Here they come!" Elfman warned.

One of them tried to punch Juvia but its attack went through her body due to it being made of water. "Such an attack faze Juv-" Steam was hissing out of the soldier's arm and it was burning her.

Gray heard Juvia scream in pain. "Juvia!" He turned to the metallic soldier he was fighting against. "Crap!" He put his hands together. "Ice Make..." His opponent had fire appear from its hand and sent it right at him. The attack struck Gray and send him back.

"Gray!" Miyaka yelled in shock.

"Crap, this is thing is using fire against my ice!" Gray stated.

"Juvia's enemy is using steam..."

Elfman attempted to grab his opponent however, the enemy quickly avoided him. "What the hell, he's super fast!"

Lisanna's clawed at her opponent but her claws weren't making a single mark. "I can't even scratch this guy!"

Gray realized something about their opponents. "My enemy using fire against my ice, steam against Juvia's water, speed against Elfman's power, Power against Lisanna's speed..." He began to realize what was going on. "I see, they're using our weaknesses against us...lucky, Mira has no weakness."

He was wrong the moment he turned in Mira's direction, who was being attacked in a joking matter by one of the soldiers that had Elfman's face on it while looking sad. "Mira...Mira...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

"Stop it, Elfman!"

"Hey, you're arguing with a fake you know!?" Gray exclaimed as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Elfman glared at the leader. "You did this, right!?"

Wall was expecting this. "My magic, Weakness, allows me to construct soldiers that exploit my enemy's shortcomings." He then turned his direction towards Miyaka. "However, you don't seem to have any magic, I assume you're a recruit or something?"

Miyaka's eyes twitched though she didn't respond which seemingly confirmed his question. "Strange, Fairy Tail is supposed to have magic, I can only guess that you lost your magic or didn't have the chance to learn it. Either way, my soldiers will deal with you all."

Leone was fighting against an opponent that was able to collide with her fists. "Damn it, how did you manage to withstand my strength!?" His opponent didn't say a word instead its speakers appeared from on its arms. "What the hell are you-" She didn't finish her sentence and screamed in pain while covering her feline animal-like ears. "What the hell is this noise!?" It feels like my head is going to split in half!" Her opponent saw his chance and delivered a punch in Leone's jaw sending her away and was still in pain from the noise she was hearing. "Crap, can someone shut this bastard!?"

Chelsea didn't understand what Leone was screaming about when she didn't hear a thing. "What's going on with Leone?" She noticed her opponent trying to attack her and jumped back to dodge at the last second. "Take this...Needle Shock!" She summoned out multiple needles that emitted electricity.

The moment the needles were sent in the soldier's direction, she knew the metallic was weak against electricity, however, the soldier put his hand out and a mirror appeared in front of it needles struck the mirror and send them right back to Chelsea. She gasped as she crossed her arms to defend herself against the counterattack by her opponent. The needles pierce her skin and electrical shock was dealt to her body.

Akame's opponent slammed its fist into the ground and Akame avoided the attack while seeing the ground itself was browning from where he struck. "She landed back on the ground and assessed her opponent. "So my opponent can rust anything it touches. If it grabs Murasame..." She quickly glanced at Leone and Chelsea's opponent. "It's like Gray said, they're using our magic's weakness against our own. Leone's opponent is ultrasonic sound and Chelsea's opponent is reflecting any attacks that are thrown at it. "

Akame's soldier used this opportunity to charge while thrusting its fist at her. "Watch out!"

Miyaka took two shots at Akame's opponent, who saw this and barely avoid the attack though the bullets manage to put a slight dent in the soldier's body. "That was good, however, it barely made a dent."

Wall has had enough of this little game of gun playing. "I think I'll kill the weakest one." He attempted to tackle the former marine. "Shave!" In a split second, Miyaka vanished.

Wall was surprised for once. "What the?" Miyaka appeared from the back in a split second. "Take this!" She took two shots at close range which seemingly did some damage.

Wall felt slight pain go through his body. "This is impossible, how could've I felt that?" He glanced at the sniper with a glare. "I don't who you are or how you made a dent in my body, but, that was just a lucky move."

Akame was impressed and began to thoughts about this scene. "I wonder if Miyaka possesses Armament Haki...if she does, it's no wonder she can hurt the enemy. Though, it's only having little effect, though she must be using Observation Haki to find a weak spot." Getting off the track she began to recall what she's observed about Wall. "No doubt, he's got the same structure as Dr. Stylish Soldiers, Toby."

To make matters worse, Akame remembered what Chelsea said about Wall before. "He's not hiding his Aura, he probably doesn't even know how, but, he's no doubt the leader of this group, but, I can't sense his aura."

Putting the pieces together, Akame came to one shocking conclusion. "The fact his body is metallic and he doesn't have a body could only mean..."

As if Miyaka was thinking the same thing. "She probably figured out, this guy's body is a bit similar to Kuma and the other Pacfista steel-like body." Her eyes widened in realization. "You're..."

Two soldiers appeared in front of her, Miyaka used her Shave technique to vanish before they could punch her. "Figured it out now, have you? Unfortunately, it's too late, though I praise that you made a dent in my body and as curious as I am to find that out, I have to be going so, I'll let my weak soldiers deal with you while I slaughter the user of this enchantment." Wall launched himself from the sky and left the battlefield.

"Oh no..." Juvia said quietly.


At the Cardia Cathedral, Freed was still struggling to keep the enchantment up. Evergreen and Bickslow were still cheering him on. "Freed, stay strong! In the airships enemies in the western skies are almost out of commission!"

"It seems Erza and Zoro have taken out one of the Twelve and on top of that, some of the Straw Hats are joining the fight."

Freed began to have quick thoughts. "I heard of Zoro's strength, no doubt, he's strong, probably...no, he's on the same level as Erza." He began to wonder if the green-haired swordsman could be an S-Class wizard too.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of opening doors. Then a voice was coming from the entrance of the Cathedral. "It's a disgrace...that such shame could bring to the name of the Twelve."

Freed looked in the direction of the voice while Bickslow narrowed his eyes at where the entrance was. "Who's that?"

"He's one of the enemies!" Evergreen pointed out.

When things couldn't have gotten worse, Freed knew he wouldn't be able to fight. "You two take him on, I can't stop this high-level enchantment."

Evergreen and Bickslow happily took the order.

"We can handle him."

"That's right, after all, we're Laxus' bodyguards."

Wall didn't seem phased and his calm demeanor didn't change. "I can see your weakness which will help me crush you into the ground."

Bickslow and Evergreen looked at the enemy in confusion.

"Huh?"

"Say what?"

"Weakness Generation!" Two metallic robots were summoned in front of Wall. "Take them down!"

"Come babies! Line Formation!" Bickslow commanded and his dolls responded to his command and began their formation but suddenly they just dropped to the ground.

One of the robotic soldiers had his hand out. "Purification."

Bickslow knew that made sense. "He's using White magic?!" The soldier came up to him and punched him hard.

Evergreen took her chance on her enemy. "Fairy Bomb!"

Her opponent emitted a thick cloud out of its body. "Mist!"

The mist quickly surrounded Evergreen. "What's this, my Fairy Bomb doesn't work!" The weakness soldier struck her in the face.

Bickslow realized what was going on. "Damn, it...white magic cancels out my black magic..."

Freed had an idea that could help his comrades. "Then try looking at them in the eye!"

They did so using their eye magic but their magic wasn't having any effect. "C'mon!" Bickslow pouted.

"Try using your magic on the main one!" Freed suggested.

"Turn to stone," Evergreen unleashed magic waves at Wall, but he just smirked. "Won't work on me."

The two weakness soldiers struck at Evergreen and Bickslow again.

"Our magic isn't working on this guy!"

"Indeed...you're wondering why..." Wall grabbed his jacket to widen it but his shirt also opened to reveal a strange core and then his body began to undergo a machinal transformation and his entire body now became robotic like his soldiers. "As you can see I'm not human...I'm a Machina."

Freed couldn't believe what their opponent really was. "He's a machine that can wield magic power?"

"He kinda reminds me of that Kuma guy that the Straw Hats met," Bickslow commented.

"Yes, but, who knows what else he can do," Evergreen thought.

Just then the Weakness Soldiers were being affected by electricity.

Freed recognized what it was. "Lightning?" He was soon delighted along with Freed and Evergreen.

"Zap zap man!" To their disappointment, it was Ichiya. "I believe the doctor ordered some shock treatment with the help of my Thunder Perfume!"

Freed was silent with a gaping mouth.

Electricity continued to come out of Ichiya's body while he did his usual pose. His arrival was unexpected to Evergreen and Bickslow. "Ichiya!?"

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

Wall hadn't seen Ichiya before and observed him while the small man did his pose. "Don't forget about your previous indignity. Well, no matter, we'll talk as soon as I eliminate this bastard."

Bickslow and Evergreen had no idea what the old man was going on about. "Indignity, what does he mean by that?"

Evergreen was just as confused. "No clue."

Freed couldn't help but feel this was all his fault. "I couldn't have mistaken this half-pint troll as one as great as Laxus."

At the guild, Laxus felt a strange feeling go through his body. "That's weird...just got the chills."

Makarov heard his grandson but didn't hear his words. "Something wrong?"

"No," Laxus replied weirdly.

To Wall, Ichiya's arrival didn't seem to concern him. "No matter how many people show up, the conclusion will be the same." He scanned Ichiya's entire body while the small old man just did his usual various poses. "I see everything. All of your weaknesses are easy like reading a book." His scanning was complete but a shocked expression was shown on his face. "How can this be? You have many flaws!"

Evergreen was between surprised and not surprised about Ichiya. "Ichiya is in a class of his own."

Bickslow had similar thoughts on what the second fairy queen commented on. "The guy has so many weaknesses that the enemy can't choose which one, to begin with."

Despite their unknown cruel treatment of Ichiya, he had a good reason in coming to their rescue. "Although our past times were brief, you guys were once part of Blue Pegasus. However, all of you including Laxus are like family and that's Fairy Tail shares those kinds of feelings too!" He spread his arms apart while pointing. "Now come! Quiver in fear before my overwhelming Parfum!" A purple odor was soon in the air while Wall just stood looking at Ichiya like he was an idiot. "Take a whiff of this poison parfum and death shall come to you!"

Wall was silent for a couple of seconds while continuing to stare at Ichiya. "I can't smell."

Ichiya took a closer look at the enemy and realized he was right. "It...it's true! He doesn't have a nose, he's a machine from the start, so it makes sense..."

Wall just had enough of the small troll-like man and rushed over to him. "Your countless weakness caused me to hesitate for a moment...but in the end." He uppercut Ichiya away from him. "All it means is that you're nothing but pathetic garbage!"

"Ichiya!" Bickslow called out before he was struck on the head by one of the Weakness Soldiers.

Evergreen continued with her problems against her opponent as she guarded against their mist. We're having problems with this monster!"

Freed knew he had to help but moving to dispel the barrier would be not an option not as long as the enemies in the west are active. Ichiya managed to land on the floor and slide a little before reaching for one of his parfum vials. "Leave it to me, every machine has the same kind of weakness." He shoved one vial in each of his nostrils. "Thunder Parfum Direct Inhalation!" Freed was grossed out after seeing what his former boss just did.

Ichiya's body was emitting electricity all of his body. "That's right! Machines are weak to electricity!" He pointed at Wall and electricity was sent over to him. "Manly Thunderbolt of Justice!"

His attack struck Wall and to Freed, it looked like it could work, or so it was believed. "It's true organic metals are susceptible to electricity. However, I developed a vulnerability to that weakness."

Ichiya was a bit taken aback by what he just heard as he saw Wall transforming once again while his attack was still active. "What did you say?"

"As my Magic identifies weaknesses. Knowing my weakness, I was able to address it and use it as an energy source!"

Freed couldn't believe what he just heard. "Is he serious?!"

Wall discharged all the electricity he took from Ichiya's attack and powerfully disperset everything through the room of the cathedral. "Vortex Charge!" The attack destroyed parts of the building from the inside. Evergreen, Bickslow, and Ichiya were caught in the attack and were severely damaged.

Freed could how more dangerous than the enemy before them. "I heard of Machina's power, but, to think they can completely alter their form..."

"Indeed..." Wall's transformation was complete and looked more-machine like before Ichiya's attack. He also became more powerful. "By absorbing electrical powers...I can enhance and augment my strength even further and easy to kill you all!"

Ichiya was lying on his stomach. "Electricity won't hurt him."

Hearing that gave Evergreen a sense of dread. "Does this mean Laxus' magic wouldn't be effective?"

Bickslow came to the same conclusion. "I was disappointed that Ichiya arrived...however, I'm glad Laxus didn't come."

Freed knew the situation. "Laxus is no match for him, probably not even the minks' Electro abilities wouldn't hurt him." He decided it was his turn to fight as he began to dispel the enchantment.

Warren was able to detect the barrier's power. "The enchantment is getting lower!"

Makarov gasped. "What, how come that's happening?"

Laxus grabbed hold of Warren's head. "Freed! Don't undo the enchantment! The Guild is being attacked from the west!"

"What's this..." Wall was approaching Freed. "You were about to undo your enchantment...but, it seems if you did you wouldn't be able to defend the town. If you do that you'll die in vain."

Evergreen and Bickslow were about to make a move until a figure dashed past them. "Buffalo Impact!" Temukai came out of nowhere and tackled the robotic machine with his entire body which seemingly hurt Wall. "What the?" He glanced his face over his shoulder and gasped at what tackled him. "Just what in the hell are you?"

"Temukai!" Freed exclaimed in surprise.

Ichiya was baffled at the creature he was seeing. "Huh...what kind of being am I seeing?"

Temuaki glanced at the old troll-like man. "Snort...snort...I take it that you're Ichiya."

Ichiya's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Holy crap, it talks too!?"

"It's fine, he's a friend, and his name is Temukai the Water Buffalo Mink," Bickslow introduced.

Ichiya looked closely at the Water Buffalo Mink for a few seconds. "I see...I was told that the three Night Raid Assassins joined your guild, however, it seems you added another to your guild."

Bickslow chuckled. "True, but, he's not only the one." The small troll-like man was puzzled at those last words that the Dark Magic user noticed. "It's a long story, but, we'll fill you in later."

"Allow me to take a shot!" Miyaka appeared out of nowhere and Temukai jumped back as the former marine took three shots at the Machina robot.

Wall barely felt that this time. "I admit you caught me off guard, however, since I'm in my alter form, I barely felt that."

Ichiya was taken aback by the young girl. "Oh my, another member and a cute one at that...Men!" He swooned as he took a few whiffs of the girl. "Your parfum is nice and I can smell something of pure kindness!"

Miyaka sweatdropped not knowing what to say.

Bickslow and Evergreen heard what the robotic said to Miyaka.

"She was able to land a shot on this bastard?"

"Probably one of her Haki powers."

Freed had to admit he was impressed. "Miyaka's power and sniper skills are far more than I heard of."

"What's going on in here?" A female voice asked which was at the entrance of the cathedral.

There was Rena, who was floating due to a bubble coating that was around her waist.

Ichiya was stunned at what he was seeing. "Holy, a mermaid, and she's on land..." He noticed the strange bubble structure around her waist. "What kind of bubble is that?"

Wall was surprised to see such a legendary mythical creature. "A mermaid...on land, I don't know if you're a real one or just some human using transformation magic, but, it doesn't matter."

Evergreen was concerned about Rena. "She's got some skills but she's out of the water."

Bickslow had similar thoughts. "If her bubble is popped then she'll be an easy target."

"My weakness soldiers finish off these non-magic users first!" Wall commanded.

"Flame Dial!" Rena quickly took out a dial that emitted flames that scorched two robotic soldiers

"How did the hell she do that!?" Wall cursed seemingly shocked.

Miyaka had an idea as the flame dial was still active. She took out her pistols and took more shots that went into the fire creating flaming bullets that shot through the weakness soldiers and dealt severe damage.

"You guys are becoming pests to me," Wall yelled deeply frustrated.

"Hey, if you guys are going up against weakness soldiers, switch up your opponents!" The voice was Elfman's, which Evergreen was relieved to hear.

Gray was taken care of by the Steam user. "This one is no problem!"

Juvia took care of the flame user. "Juvia can handle the fire types with water!"

Mirajane took on the power type her sister was fighting. "I'll take on brute force type!"

And Elfman ended up beating himself. "That means I have to beat up creepy robot me!"

The tide of the battle changed in their favor which made Gray smile. "It seems the robots have flaws too."

Akame had her own to deal with the Weakness Soldiers and the other former assassins were fighting against. "Not only that, but our enemies don't see what we're truly capable of." She sheathed Murasame and looked over to Leone. "Leone! Time to show them the light!"

Leone groaned in pain due to the noise she kept hearing but she was able to hear her best friend's words and their meaning too. "You got it!" She started to yell and started to change forms. "The bone armor and fur changed into dark red and grew a lion-like tail that had an orange flame on the tip. Her hair grew to her lower back which was red or orange and her eyes went ruby red. She wore a choker around her neck with a red-orange gem in the center. She had feline-like ears that were the same color as her fur. "Take Over: Lionel Beast Soul Combination! Beast Lion Apelio!" She raised her arm and flames scorched into the air which created a bright light that shined out and enveloped everyone in the vicinity.

Most of them did cover their eyes except for Akame, seeing her shadow that was made by Leone's light. "Thank you, Leone...It's time..." She placed her hands together and held them back. "Shadow-Make..." She slammed both her hands on the ground and shadow reached. "Shadow Thorn Roses!" A row of shadow-like roses went through a row of Weakness Soldiers while sending them flying away.

Other normal soldiers were on their way. "Crap, more of those low grunts," Leone cursed under her breath.

"Allow me to handle this..." A humming voice said, who dashed past the three assassins and approached the soldiers, who were completely stunned by the skeleton. "Who is that?"

"Yohohoho...so, I'll enjoy this," Brook spoke completely taking the soldiers off guard.

"Yikes! Talking skeleton!"

"Is this black magic or something!?"

"How should I know!?"

Brook began to hum. "C'mon guys, shall we party!" The soldiers were soon lost for words until the entire scene changed to a festival where there were beautiful dances offered them to dance and soon the soldiers were hypnotized.

"This is a party!"

"Yeah! The girls are hotties!"

"No kidding, those chicks are like a dream come true!"

"Sorry, the party is over," Brook sheathed his sword. "Quinto Tierce Fantasia!"

Chelsea never thought she would be glad to see the pervy skeleton. "Thanks, Brook."

Leone grinned. "You came through like always."

Akame smiled slightly. "Yes, thank you."

Brook laughed while rubbing his head. "Oh ladies, you're making me blush." He started to look at them pervertedly. "You girls could award me like showing me your-"

Leone pounded the skeleton in the face. "In your dreams dumbass!"

Chelsea could almost facepalm.

"Let's get them!" More soldiers were coming their way and there were more behind them.

"Oh great, more of those soldiers," Gray groaned in annoyance.

"Oh well, this wasn't going to be easy anyway," Mira shrugged.

"Our turn is next!"

Pango jumped in front. "Bounce Magic: Lightning Bounce!" He curled his entire body like a ball with electrical static covering his body and crushed several soldiers.

"Yes! Let's deal with these jerks!"

Jula joined it and put her arms out. "Requip: Eight Swords!" She began to spin her swords around in front of her. "Eight Sword Squid Style: Water Waltz of the Eight Swords!" Her eight swords unleashed a water-like vortex that swallowed many of the soldiers as their bodies were seemingly cut from head to toe and as soon as the water-like vortex vaporized the soldiers fell on the ground unconscious.

Thorn joined in only that his sea horse tail was gone and replaced with fish-like legs with humanoid-fish-like feet. "This Take Over spell worked like a charm, I got legs and feet now." He was just getting started. "I'm not done yet...Sea Horse Merman Style Combination Magic: Water Bubblebeam!" He hurled out a row of water bubbles that were sent directly at several soldiers that were hit hard as if the bubbles were rocks and fell over unconscious.

"Take them down!"

Angela jumped and looked directly at the enemy soldiers.

"I'm willing to show these guys what a Fish-woman can do." She began opened her mouth. "Sing Magic: Hyper Song!" Strong sonic vibrations were coming from her mouth causing the soldiers to stop in their tracks and cover their ears in pain. "I'll show my own Fishman Karate!" She began to twirl her feet around: Fishman Karate: Spinning Kick!" Her kicks struck the soldiers' faces and sending them away.

Tigress was ready for action. "So, these are soldiers that for Alvarez, I hope they're ready to witness the power of a Tiger Mink." She lift her foot and stomped the ground. "Electro Combination Earth: Thunder Ground Pillar!" The ground shook violently as pillars of thunder sparked shocking several more soldiers.

Just then several more soldiers tried to ambush Lisanna.

"Lisanna watch out!" A voice rang out.

Aquapad came out in front of the soldiers. "Fishman Karate: The Shark Brick Fist!" He unleashed a shockwave that blew away the soldiers. Only a few more were standing. "What is that thing!?"

"It's not just that, there are other beings here!"

"I never talking fish creatures led alone tigers, pandas, and sea horses!"

"I'm not done yet...Fishman Karate Magic Combination-" He lift his hand. "Shark Fist Stream Pillar!" He punched the ground and a stream of pillars made of water sending soldiers in air.

"Amazing!" Gray praised.

"They learned magic in a short time," Juvia added.

Evergreen and Bickslow liked that idea, but, Miyaka and Rena were making due to their weakness soldiers.

Miyaka glanced at the two Thunder Legion wizards and smiled. "You take care of these guys, we'll protect Freed."

Temukai grinned. "Snort...snort...Freed is a friend too, we'll help in any way we can."

Rena smiled. "Let us help him."

Evergreen and Bickslow smiled at the three. "Thank you...that in case, my babies shall deal with the one that has mist magic!"

"I'll take off this one!" Evergreen used her magic on the Weakness Soldier that was using purification.

While they were busy, Rena, Miyaka, and Temukai confronted Wall. "You three are becoming quite the pests, I'll deal with you three quickly."

Miyaka saw a bag hanging on the side of Rena's waist that was seemingly open catching a glimpse of an impact dial. "Is that..." The mermaid realized what she was looking at in the bag that she was holding and nodded.

The former marine smiled and thought of an idea. "I have an idea, we'll need to create a diversion to get in close."

Miyaka took a fake shot at Wall, who was able to see it coming and evaded the attack by blocking it with his robotic hand.

Temukai quickly dashed in a flash as Rena tossed the impact dial. "Go Impact Dial!" He pressed the shell against the Spriggan Twelve's chest creating a powerful shockwave that shook his robotic body with great force.

Temukai fell back on his back while holding his arm in pain. "That...smart."

"What was that?" Freed asked.

Miyaka saw a slight crack appearing on Wall's chest and she fired only that her pistols only clicked. "Crap, I'm all out..."

Wall chuckled. "Out of bullets, perhaps you should've learned how to use magic bullets!" He quickly grabbed the marine girl's body. "I'll kill you for making a fool out of me!"

Temukai was still in pain. "Snort...snort...must...help Miyaka."

Rena was out of options. "If only I learned different transformation magic and water magic..."

All three were clearly at a disadvantage as Wall gripped Miyaka's body tighter. "I'll kill you one by one. Your friends can watch you die right before their eyes."

Miyaka refused to give up and the stuff she went through, she wants to keep living for her friends and help them in any way she can.

Her left leg began to transform which took the form of a cannon and aimed at Wall. "Take Over: Weapon Soul: Leg Laser!" She shot a small magic laser at Wall's chest which caused him to drop the girl. "I'm just getting started!" Her left arm began to transform. "Weapon Arm!" She transformed her arm into a shotgun. "Shotgun Fire Bullet!" She shot multiple bullets made of compressed fire.

Wall took several hits in his robotic chest dealing massive damage.

"Oh yeah, my Weakness Soldiers shall smite you!" However, his Weakness Soldiers didn't appear. "What the hell..." His soldiers didn't appear, and that wasn't the only thing that was happening, his entire body began to malfunction with electrical surges covering his entire body.

Freed was trying to make sense of what he seeing, however, he noticed the other Weakness Soldiers weren't appearing. "Is it..."

Temukai grinned. "Snort...snort...I'm next..." He put his hands together and a magic circle appeared and he pulled his hands away. "Iron Make-" Both of his hands surrounded with magic power and giant pairs of knuckle-iron gauntlets appeared. "Iron Knuckle Gauntlets!"

Temukai grinned. "Let's dance!" He quickly charged towards and was right in front of Wall before he could make a move. "Buffalo Boxing!" He began to box punch the Machina in the chest.

Rena was happy to see this and felt a strange magic sensation in her body and her smile grew. "I'm not giving up yet!" Her mermaid fin-like body began to transform. "Transformation: Human Legs!" Her mermaid-fish tail was replaced with human legs and feet. "I'm not done." She began to rush towards the Machina robot and leaped towards. "Mermaid Style Magic Combination: Water Double Kick!" Her feet were covered in water and she jumped towards and landed two kicks on Wall's head dealing serious damage. "Thanks to these new feet, I can kick with my own feet."

Bickslow remembered the mermaids and Fishman can use Fishman Karate and other kinds of merfolk moves, though, some were able to use those few of those moves in the water. "She's totally kicking butt!" He laughed impressively.

"Mermaid Style: Water Jet!" Rena transformed her legs into a fishtail while covering herself in water and floating towards Wall with jet speed and slamming into him with great force.

"Hey, Freed, we have beaten the enemies in the West!" Freed recognized the voice and was relieved to hear that news.

"You guys finish those jerks off!" This time, Luffy's voice was heard.

Freed smiled. "Luffy...Natsu...your courage is inspiring as always." Freed's left eye appeared and grinned. "Now then...I'll go all out!" Freed used his magic to transform. "Dark Ecriture: Severing Shadow!"

Ichiya had the same idea. "Parfum of Power: Maximum Manliness!"

The two ripped through Wall's body at the same exact moment.

While Bickslow was glad that their enemy was finally defeated he couldn't help but feel a little cheated. "Can't you go one second without stealing the spotlight Ichiya!?"

Evergreen had to agree creeped out by Ichiya's look. "Yeah, c'mon!"

Over at Gray's group, they managed the defeat the Weakness Soldiers. "Hoo...we handled them, huh?"

Lisanna went over to Aquapad. "Aquapad, you and the others were great."

Mirajane had to agree. "Yeah, your magic has already awakened and just in the nick of time."

Tigress smiled. "Thank you."

Pango smiled widely. "Aw, no need to thank me."

Angela smiled sweetly. "I'm honored to be praised."

Thorn grinned. "Glad to help our friends."

Jula smiled. "Yeah, we'll continue to make sure our magic grows stronger than ever."

Aquapad smiled gratefully. "Yeah, we kick some major butt!"

Lisanna then noticed something unusual about Juvia. "Uh...what happened to your clothes?"

Elfman was, of course, worried about Evergreen. "Are you okay Ever?"

"As if you need to worry about me!"

Mirajane was also worried about someone else. "How is Erza?"

At the West Cliffs, Wendy was healing Erza's injuries. "She just needs some rest...as for Luffy's team, they helped us by shooting some of the airships down."

"Yeah, Usopp's aim is remarkable," Carla added.

Usopp laughed. "Oh, that's why I'm the Sniper King..." He soon covered his mouth with his hands. "I mean, I want to be the Sniper King someday."

"Also, Zoro managed to cut more of the airships too," Wendy reported.

Zoro smirked. "There's nothing I can't cut."

Sanji groaned in annoyance. "As if I was able to kick done of Ajeel's men including their captain's right-hand man."

Natsu looked at Fujika. "Fujika...thanks again for the pills, I admit those come in handy."

The former Kuja pirate blushed a bit and looked away. "N-no problem."

Franky grinned. "Super!" He did his usual stance. "Those other sand soldiers were blown away and I did with Gusto!"

"Yeah, guys!" Chopper called. "I'm also washing Erza's wounds too."

"That's right, Chopper is a good doctor and was able to get some of the soldier's butt!" Natsu complimented with a bright smile.

Chopper began to do his happy dance. "Compliments like that won't make me happy you jerk face!"

"Anyway, we'll be returning soon!" Carla stated.

Lucy had a bit of good news of her own. "We managed to capture one of the Spriggan Twelve."

Cana was carrying Brandish on her shoulder and was smiling. "We'll bring her back to the guild." She glanced at Robin. "Robin was able to trap Brandish using her Devil Fruit powers, quite handy indeed."

Robin giggled.

Everyone in the guild cheered at their first victory over the Alvarez Empire. Makarov was relieved at the news. "Looks like we managed to overcome the first wave."

"Also, Aquapad along with his friends and three of the minks learned magic already!"

Jimbei grinned proudly and mostly for Aquapad and his friends. "Well done you guys."

Usagi couldn't be more proud, especially of his group. "Good job friends."

Mavis was surprised as well as the other guild members.

"Alright, our new friends learned magic!"

"I can hardly wait to see them in action!"

Wakaba and Maco smiled pervertedly. "Does this mean Angela, Jula, and Rena do something hot with their magic?"

"I bet so."

Bonk Bonk

"Now now, don't try anything funny," Makarov said though he was hiding a perverted smile on his face.

Chelsea rubbed her arms as she felt a tingly sensation coming from them. "That was intense, but I'm glad this is over for now."

Leone returned to her human form and sighed out of exhaustion while rubbing her head. "Damn, that was crazy, but, we won, though, I can use a drink after this."

Akame had to agree. "I'll be sure to make us some meat for everyone."

Ichiya was talking with Miyaka, Rena, and Temukai. "I see all three of you along with some come from another world, I heard of the incident while escaping Alvarez went out of control and the others were gone for almost a month."

Bickslow couldn't believe what he heard. "Wait, we're been in that world for almost a year, and in our world a month almost went by."

Wall's head let out a distorted groan while Evergreen was trying to figure something out.

"How come you're here anyway Ichiya?"

And Ichiya was back to being annoyed. "Did you forget already?"

Bickslow was still confused as well. "Just tell us, man?"

Ichiya had no choice but to explain to them what happened. "Men...you Fairy Tail wizards are forgetful more than I thought. You forget about what happened a few days ago, more like rather almost a month?"

"Ichiya, we're here to pick up the Thunder Legion!"

"Hold on..."

Lisanna and Cana were walking by casually.

"We'll be borrowing Christina for a while!"

"I always wanted to take a ride in that thing!"

"Hold on ladies..."

The last part is what freaked out Ichiya when he heard the crazy news from Makarov learning about a gateway and learning a second one that was hidden in the ocean that separates Alvarez and Fiore. "I also heard from Sting that you guys were fighting for your lives, it's miracle that Alvarez didn't attack us earlier. That was almost an entire month ago, you know!?"

Freed now remembered and questioned something else about Ichiya. "Is that so, well, why didn't you go home?"

It wasn't easy as he thought was which pissed off Ichiya more. "How far do you think we've flown!? Christina needed time to refuel and restock and not only that. All of us were worried sick about you and the others. Now Alvarez has made their move and attacked Fiore! It really pisses me off!" He started to stomp on Wall's head multiple times.

Now Bickslow started to feel bad for Ichiya. "Uh...sorry about that buddy."

Evergreen was still grateful for what Ichiya did regardless. "You truly saved the day, we're grateful."

Ichiya scoffed and looked away from them. "Hmph, I'll never speak to you again."

Freed could almost facepalm at Ichiya's attitude. "How petty can you be old man?"

"I'm not old...just experienced," Ichiya pouted at the comment.

Suddenly Freed saw something wrong about Wall's head. He quickly ran towards the old man. "Ichiya, watch out!"

Ichiya was confused until he looked down at Wall's head and he saw light coming from underneath his foot and that Wall's head was glowing. "Th-that-!" Wall let out a distorted laugh as he was just about to blow up.

BOOOOMMMM

"What was that?" Gray asked.

"It came from the Cardia Cathedral!"

"Evergreen!"

Leone groaned in frustration. "Are you kidding me? I thought we were done here!?"

Akame was worried about Freed and the others. "Let's go check it out."

"We'll be coming with you!" Pango called out as Jula, Tigress, Angela, and Elfman joined in.

Elfman stopped for a brief moment and looked at Lisanna. "Lisanna, stay here Aquapad and the others!"

"Right."

The smoke from the explosion began to slowly fade in the air.

Ichiya was on his back and saw Freed, Evergreen, Rena, Temukai, Miyaka, and Bickslow shielding him, but all five were fine though they had some injuries.

"You guys...Freed, Rena, Miyaka, Bickslow! Evergreen!" Ichiya choked at the sudden move his friends did.

"I guess...we...had this coming..."

"Thank goodness...you're okay..."

"You're like...family...to...us...whether blood or not."

"I know barely know other each...Ichiya...but...anyone who's a friend and family to Fairy Tail is one to me as well."

"Snort...snort...Temukai...like...Ichiya...friend...now..."

Rena knelt as her legs began to revert. "I know...we just...met...but...you're good...man...Ichiya..."

Ichiya was touched by this heroic action that tears were running out of his eyes and snot out from his nose feeling like this was his fault. "You mean that...WAAAAHHHH!" He let out a mournful wail.

B

South of Fiore Sea near Hargeon

On the main ship of the fleet, one individual was laughing manically while lying on the deck face first. The laughing was getting on Dimaria's nerves. "What the disgusting laugh, can you cut it out already, I would rather hear the sound of the waves."

Wall Eehto(His Real Body)

The individual continued to laugh as if he was having a hell of a time and he was. "Oh man...things are more interesting than I thought...perhaps more entertaining is the right word." He continued to laugh. "I shall stop the talking...but, it seems those idiots destroyed my puppet."

Hearing surprised Dimaria but she had a good idea of how. "Oh, I guess those Fairy Tail brats were able to beat it."

Wall(the real one)stopped laughing and stood up. "I considered that, but, what surprises me most is that Ajeel and Brandish were defeated in battle...though, Brandish seems to have been captured."

Dimaria caught that and couldn't help but contain her amusement. "That's hilarious...they captured her...quite a hassle, though, I suppose that's the reason why the emperor sends the entire army."

Wall's smiling face became dark. "But, I'll be damned if we're the ones that don't have the last laugh, that would tragic!"

Dimaria looked out in front of the ship. "Calm down. We're be reaching the port any minute, our first mission is to take control of it once we landed."

Wall was impatient type and threw his arms together and began to create something massive. "You think you can do it from here, it's like thirty kilometers away."

That wasn't an issue for Wall. "No problem for me." He created a massive long cannon and aimed. "Target: Fairy Tail Guild!"

Dimaria put her hand to her forehand to see where Wall was aiming. "That's four hundred kilometers, do you think you can hit them?"

Wall began to charge up his cannon: Don't you underestimate me. The Machina's tribe elite, Master Wall!" When charging was complete, he fired a single powerful shot out of the cannon. "Super Long Distance Anti-Material Magic Cannon!"

The shot traveled fast and far heading at the guild. Warren's sensors went off after picking up the attack. "The sensors have detected a source coming from the southeastern part. It's coming at us fast!"

"They're army?" Laxus questioned.

This was very unprecedented to Makarov. "They must be firing a long-range attack!"

That didn't make much sense to Romeo. "Just how far are they shooting at us from?!"

They had little time left to react and Mavis needed to make a move fast. "Freed! We need your enchantment up! Freed! Freed!"

"Damn it, no answer wha-"

"This is Jula..." Everyone in the guild was surprised to hear the Squid-Fish woman's voice. "Jula, is that you?"

"What happened to the Thunder Legion?" Laxus asked.

"They're out cold at moment along with Temukai, Miyaka, and Rena!"

Usagi caught that message. "Temukai?"

Gray was shocked to hear that. "Miyaka?!"

"Crap, the attack is coming closer and it's going to be a direct hit!" Warren stated.

"Evacuate the guild now!" Makarov ordered in an alarming tone.

Everyone in the guild was scrambling to get out quick as they can.

"Oh no, is the guild going to be flattened again!?"

"Not if I can help it!"

Levy turned her head. "Who was that?"

Everyone saw the Christina flying right in between the guild and the attack. "MEEEEEN!" The attack struck Christina instead and the ship was destroyed.

Wall saw what happened and was disappointed. "Oh, man..."

Dimaria couldn't help but chuckle at his expression. "Looks like you missed."

"Holy crap, what kind of ship was that?" Franky asked in a mix of shock and intrigue.

"Ichiya used his ship as a shield!" Happy stated.

"Why would he do that?" Natsu asked with a puzzled look.

Leone and the others saw what happened as well while they were carrying the injured Thunder Legion along with Temukai, Miyaka, and Rena. "I was wondering where that guy was and he does this?"

Akame had respect for what Ichiya had done for them. "He sacrificed himself to ensure that the guild would be saved."

Chelsea was still confused by this act of kindness. "But, why would he do that?"

"That guy's got some guts," Thorn praised.

"He must be that little guy that Natsu and his friends told us about," Jula thought.

"This battle isn't yours to fight alone!" Ichiya then slammed his fist on a button. "Calling all of Fiore! Listen up everyone, this battle belongs to all of us!" The other guilds, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel(who were already aware), Sabertooth(who were already aware too), and even Quatro Cerberus heard Ichiya's message. The fight against Alvarez was only beginning.

M

Jackal, Syka, Goliath, and Aquaius were already away from their guild in cloaks to disguise themselves.

In the sky, some airships were already fleeing from over to the sea.

"Looks like the first wave has come to halt!"

"Argh. Too bad we're just watching on the sidelines, I want to blow these humans and their friends to oblivion!"

"Relax Jackal, our time will come."

"Though I wonder what Mard Geer's plans are really about? Either way, let's observe what we can and report to him!" Aquaius thought.


The first battle was Fairy Tail's victory, Three minks along with the Fishman islanders and Miyaka have learned their magic power. What will happen next, find out next time. Usagi and Fujika's magic will come in due time. Have a nice day!
