CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: DRAGON SLAYERS VS. FAUST

Lily is shot down by Knightwalker for his betrayal. Mystogan asks Knightwalker if she dares point her spear at him, the prince.

Suddenly, Faust's voice is heard, stating that he doesn't think of Mystogan as his son for he betrayed his country. He emerges from the ground in a strange, huge egg-shaped machine. He declares that he will eliminate all those who defy the King, even his own son. The egg-shaped machine begins to expand and it forms a giant Dragon robot, which the Exceeds recognize as the Dorma Anim, an anti-Mage armor and weapon. Faust orders the capture of the Exceeds and so they flee.

However, the cannons of the Royal Army are faster and they turn a lot of Exceeds into Lacrima.

"We'll protect the Exceeds from the Royal Army! Attack Knightwalker's forces!" Erza ordered.

"Right!" Lucy agreed. She looks over her shoulder and sees Natsu. "Oh yeah... You don't get queasy when riding this Legion... Did you have Troia cast on you to help your motion sickness?"

"What?! T-This guy's like one of our buddies, right? Stop treating it like transportation! That's cold." Natsu responded.

"Yeah... Sorry about that." Lucy sweat dropped. "Man, it's been a long time since we did this bit."

"Enough pointless banter for now. What'll we do about that giant thing?" Aira asked.

"Don't call it pointless!" Natsu exclaimed.

Faust fires at the Earthland Mages and Mystogan quickly defends them before they get hit by reflecting the fire.

"Did that do it?" Aira questioned.

"Wow! So that's Mystogan..." Lucy exclaimed.

However, Faust is unaffected and quickly strikes him down. Then, something attacks him from above. "What? Who? Magic shouldn't work on Dorma Anim, so who is attacking me?" Faust asked.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!" Wendy attacks the Dorma Anim.

"You scum!" Faust shouted.

"Hey, not bad, Wendy." Natsu complimented.

"No... The attacks from the four of you did more damage." Wendy said.

"Let's do it... How dare they do that to my cat." Gajeel stated.

"I suppose teaming up to defeat this thing is the best way to do it." Satsuki claimed.

"Time to cause more trouble..." Aira cracks his knuckles.

Faust is later surprised when the five Dragon Slayers, Natsu, Aira, Gajeel, Satsuki, and Wendy confronting him. "I see! It's you fools!"

The rest of the team watch the Dragon Slayers face off against Faust.

"Go on. Protect the cats." Natsu said.

The five challenge Faust while they have the rest of the team protect the remaining Exceeds.

Meanwhile, Mystogan is with the injured Lily along with Boris. Mystogan states that they would have to leave the Dorma Anim up to Natsu and the others because there is something else he must do and he'll need Lily's help.

The Dragon Slayers continue to battle against Faust inside the Dorma Anim.

At the same time, Knightwalker and the army ambush the others with a barrage of missiles. Coco's Legion is hit and they fall. Happy and Carla catch them while Erza manages to get ahold of Knightwalker's Legion. The two battle once more, in which they swear they won't stop until one of them is gone.

Meanwhile, Gray faces off against Chasseur.

"You know, I used to be apart of my Fairy Tail. Was once best friends with my Natsu, too." Edo-Aira spoke after a while while Gray was breathing heavily. "However, I got excommunicated after I killed Master Laxus."

"Laxus was the Master in this world?" Gray wondered before narrowing his eyes and putting his two fists together.

"I can't believe someone with my best friend's face would hate Fairy Tail so much." Gray claimed, sending spikes of ice towards Chasseur.

However, Chasseur swipes his spear as flames appeared, melting the ice spikes as he glared at Gray.

"And I can't believe someone with Surge's face isn't wearing layers of clothing." Edo-Aira snickered.

The battle against the Edolas Royal Kingdom rages on. Edo-Fairy Tail has finally come to a decision and allied with Earthland Fairy Tail against the Royal Army.

Scarlet manages to defeat Knightwalker while Gray manages to defeat Chasseur.

In the meantime, the Dragon Slayers experience difficulties against Faust in the Dorma Anim.

Mystogan plans to execute the one method to stop the war: rid Edolas of its Magic.

Natsu, Aira, Gajeel, Satsuki, and Wendy conclude their fight against the King of Edolas. With his Dorma Anim destroyed and facing what seems to be five real Dragons: Igneel, Kaito, Grandeeney, Daichi, and Metalicana, Faust faints and is defeated.

However, even though they come out victorious the Magic Power of Edolas is disappearing, creating chaos everywhere.

A/N: I was going to have Aira face off against his counterpart one last time, but I decided not to and have him fight against Faust, so Gray did it instead. Surprise! Edo-Aira was once apart of Edo-Fairy Tail.

I read somewhere online that Edo-Laxus was most likely the Master. Which is why I decided to add that touch.

Thanks for reading!
