Chapter 79
The Dorma Anim
Everyone was immediately on guard when we all saw the army of Edolas coming towards us. As they grew closer, we recognized the woman that hurt Lily was none other than Knightwalker herself. Here I was thinking that everything was settled and done and then this was happening.
As Knightwalker and her army came towards us, she happened to look down towards Lily as his seemingly lifeless body plummeted to the ground.
"How pathetic of you, Lily. You were once a proud captain, but now you're nothing but a traitor. A lousy Fallen who's not even a noble Exceed," she spat in a disgusted tone. "To think that you would forget your debt to our king and dare betray his orders and pointing your sword at him."
"Damn! It's the Edolas Erza!" exclaimed Natsu.
"The one called Knightwalker!" added Happy.
"Lily!" cried Coco from on top of her legion.
"That dumb broad!" growled Gajeel balling up his fists in anger. "She's gonna pay for hurting my cat!"
This made me a bit confused when Gajeel claimed Lily to be his cat making me glance towards, but my attention went back towards Knightwalker as she looked towards straight at her Earth Land counterpart, Scarlet. "We're not done here, Scarlet!" she roared with fury. "You may have gotten the upper hand when we fought, but I'll personally see to it that I put you into the dirt! Permenately!"
"Knightwalker..." murmured Erza as she seemed to be surprised and at the same time unnerved at her counterpart's current state as she was being carried by an Exceed who was struggling in carrying her.
Then I noticed a small Exceed flying towards where Lily was hoping to help him. I for one felt a bit worried about the poor Exceed myself and was planning to swoop down and help him, but then Mystogan raised his hand.
"Hold on a minute," he said addressing me and Erza. "Let me handle this." He then spoke importantly to Knightwalker. "Captain Knightwalker, I've had enough of your insolence. How dare you point your blade at me, The Royal Prince of Edolas?"
"The prince?" gasped Erza in confusion.
"So I guess Coco and Lily weren't kidding," I said.
Knightwalker glared at Mytsogan seething in anger as her hand tightened around her spear. A moment passed with no one making a sound. Then the sound of laughter could be heard echoing all around us.
"You, The Royal Prince of Edolas?" mocked the voice. "Don't make me laugh! You don't deserve that title! I don't even consider you a son at all!"
"That's the king's voice!" said Coco. "I'm sure of it!"
"If that's true, then where the heck is he?!" wondered Lucy.
"You have some nerve, running off for seven years and then come waltzing back here as if nothing had ever happened," went on Faust. "Do you take me for a fool? I know that you've been in Earth Land sealing all of my Animas, you traitor. And like all other traitors, you must be punished for your actions! You practically signed for your death warrant!"
"Where's that voice coming from?" wondered Wendy as she looked around.
"I don't know, but he certainly sounds rather cross," said Carla.
"Willy. Can't you use your Aqua Sense to find out where he is?" asked Gray.
"I wish I could, but I can't," I said. "I can't use it in the air. I can only do it when I'm on the ground. And even if I could fly down, Knightwalker and her soldiers will shoot me down."
"C'mon! Show yourself bucko!" called out Natsu.
"Yeah! Come out and face us!" added Happy.
"Natsu! Happy! This isn't the time to be picking a fight!" I scolded.
"Your Anima plan has failed, Father," called out Mystogan. "Please surrender peacefully. You have no reason to fight anymore."
"A reason? How ridiculous!" scoffed Faust. "Who says that I need a reason to fight?"
Then I took notice of something in the corner of my eye. I looked towards what looked like an abandoned ruin of a colosseum and saw a large green-yellow glow coming from the ground.
"Guys! Look down there!" I spoke pointing towards the glow.
Everyone else turned seeing the glow, as well as a rumbling sound, could be heard. Not only that, but I started to feel a strong magic presence coming from that glow and I wasn't even using my Aqua Sense.
"Do you guys hear that?" Gray asked a bit nervous. "It sounds like it's coming from underground."
"And you feel that magic power building up? It's making even the air shudder," squeaked Lucy.
The air and the ground continued to shudder as the magic power continued to build making me feel a bit nervous. Then from the ground where the glow was coming from, something began to emerge from it.
"This isn't just a simple fight..." Faust continued. "This... is retribution! The extermination and destruction of all those who dare oppose their king!"
A large strange oval-like then fully emerged from the glow in the ground fully revealing itself. It was shaped like an egg, metallic, and white silver in color, and had six lines of chains on it strapping it to the ground.
"Just what is that thing?" asked Lucy worry and fear in her tone.
"I don't know," said Gray looked just as uneasy. "Some kind of magic weapon?"
The strange metallic egg began to float from the ground into the air and the six chains that held it all snapped breaking one by one.
"Since you and your meddlesome friends insist on standing in my way," ranted on Faust. "I have no choice, but to obliterate each and every one of you! No matter who or what you are!"
"Father, please!" begged Mystogan. "I'm begging you to stop this madness!"
"I'm not your father," Faust answered. "I am the king of Edolas! And once I dispose of all of you here and now, I'll no longer have to worry about you sealing my Animas in Earth Land and I'll be free to create another giant lacrima and fuse it with the Exceeds! Limitless magic power will be mine!"
At that moment, the egg began to glow in a white color and began to open up like a flower blooming. Its true form was revealed and what I saw made my eyes widen in shock and slight amazement, for the egg had transformed into what appeared to be a mechanical dragon. It stood on two legs and had giant and long arms with its eyes glowing red.
"Try as you might, but there's no stopping me!" howled Faust with glee. "I AM THE KING! MY POWER IS ABSOLUTE!"
The mechanical dragon then let out a fierce and booming roar causing the ground and the air to shake from its terrifying presence.
"What the heck is that thing?!" I exclaimed repeating Lucy. "Is it some kind of machine?"
"That's the Dorma Anim," spoke Mystogan an uneasy face crossing his features.
I looked back at the blue-haired boy. "Dorma Anim?" I repeated. "Is that what that thing is?"
"Yes. From our old language, it means Dragon Knight," explained Mystogan. "It's enhanced dragon armor."
"So... it basically is a dragon?" asked Natsu incredulously.
"It certainly looks like one," commented Happy.
"So... is it basically magic armor?" puzzled Wendy.
"If it is, it's unlike anything I've ever seen before," said Carla. "But what does that involve I wonder?"
"It's an enhanced rideable magic armor made from an anti-magic lacrima called Wizard Canceller just like the doors to the Dragon Chain Cannon's room," explained Coco. "It's bad news for us because it nullifies all external magic cast at it. Our attacks won't even touch him! And to add to that, the king's gotta be inside of that thing, so he can control its every move."
The Dorma Anim turned its head towards us and opened its metal jaw making a large cannon come forth from it.
"As your king, I order you to capture the Exceeds at once!" commanded Faust from inside the metallic beast. "Make sure none of them escape!"
"Yes, sir!" yelled the soldiers.
The soldiers then charged with their legions heading straight towards the Exceeds. They were all carrying strange looking cannons connected to backpacks. Seeing what their true intentions were, I was about to move to try and stop them. But then a voice was heard.
"STOP! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!"
Everyone immediately stopped and looked to our left where the voice was coming from. Flying towards us was another legion, but who was on made my eyes widen in surprise. It was none other than my Edolas counterpart. With her legion, she flew right in between the soldiers and us and barred their way.
Knightwalker took one look at who it was and her eyes widened in shock. "What?! What is she doing here?!" she exclaimed.
"Kuromen? You've survived," said Faust.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't get here sooner, Your Majesty," Edolas Me said. "I had some trouble, but I'm here now. That's all that matters."
"Who the heck is that?" wondered Lucy. "Is she another captain?"
"I don't know..." spoke Gray. "I've never seen her before."
"Hold a second," said Natsu. "Doesn't she... look familiar?"
"Yes. She does," said Happy. "She kinda... reminds me of..."
"She's my Edolas counterpart," I spoke interrupting him. "She may be a female, but she's me."
Natsu and the others then looked at me in surprise.
"You've got to be kidding me!" exclaimed Lucy. "She's the Edolas you?!"
The soldiers then began to murmur with each other looking shocked to see my Edolas self.
"No way! That's Captain Kuromen?!"
"He's... he's female!"
"And she looks so beaten up! What the heck happened to her?!"
Edolas Me seemed to ignore all the comments that were spoken about her keeping her eyes focused on the Dorma Anim.
"So what brings you here, Kuromen?" asked Faust now seeming to be a bit calmer. "And what happened to your armor and your sword?"
I then felt my body tense up. What was my Edolas Self doing here? Was she out of revenge or something? If she was, then I probably made a mistake of leaving her alive. But my Edolas Self remained still as she stood on her legion looking down at the mechanical dragon.
"I'm sorry to say my king, but... I was defeated in battle," spoke Edolas Me. "My armor and my sword have been completely destroyed by... an Earth Lander who was stronger than me." She gave me a small sideways glance before turning back to her king. "As for the reason I came here, it is for one reason. To confirm something."
"Confirm what exactly?" asked Faust sounding a bit impatient yet confused.
"To confirm if what you said just now was true," went on Edolas Me. "Your true intentions for these Exceeds and for what you're planning. Do you truly intend to use them the Animas to grant limitless magic power?"
"I thought it would be obvious," said Faust. "Of course that's what my intentions are. In order for this kingdom to prosper, I need all the magic power I can get so that Edolas will forevermore have limitless magic power!"
"Even if it means taking innocent lives?" asked Edolas Me. "Even if it means destroying everything and everyone in your path? Including your own allies?"
"If that's what it takes, then yes!" said Faust now returning to his mad with power demeanor. "I will do whatever it takes as long as I can have limitless magic power! All those who oppose are my enemies and will be dealt with swiftly! Now... I'm sure that I've wasted enough time talking to you considering that you're now nothing more than a helpless girl without your weapons and armor, so I want you to leave now while I destroy these fools."
"Your Majesty, please. Why would you need to waste your time with the Exceeds?" asked Edolas Me. "There's no sense in taking lives anymore. It's over. We should stop this violence and end this peacefully."
I raised a brow feeling confused at what my Edolas Self was saying. Was she trying to convince Faust to stop? If she was, something was telling me that Faust wasn't the type of foe to be reasoned with.
"It's over when I say its over!" roared Faust. "What gives you the right to tell me what I can or can't do?! That's the epitome of questioning my authority!"
"It's not a matter of authority that I'm questioning," spoke Edolas Me clenching her hands. "It's a matter of questioning your objectivity!"
The soldiers all gasped. Even Knightwalker had her eyes wide with shock. Natsu, me, and the other Earth Landers were also a bit surprised for what the Edolas Me said.
"Kuromen! What are you doing?!" Knightwalker demanded in a hushed whisper. "Stand down! You're out of line!"
Edolas Me ignored Knightwalker as she stood bravely on her legion not backing down. Faust growled at Edolas Me seeming to boil in anger.
"Now you listen to me, Kuromen. I've always considered you like a daughter ever since I found you as a child," he spoke. "I took you in, raised you, and made your dream of being a samurai a reality and you dare disrespect me?! Have you not forgotten everything I've done for you?! Has your pledge of loyalty to me been nothing more than a lie?!"
Edolas Me was now clenching her hands tighter as she bit her lip looking down seeming to tremble in shame. To me, she looked like she was about to cry from Faust's words making me feel a bit sorry for her. All she was doing was trying to reason with her Father hoping to stop him from doing something horrible.
"You have disgraced yourself as well The Royal Army and me with your presence and your words. The only way you can redeem yourself is by obeying this simple order," went on Faust. "You are to join Knightwalker and her squad in capturing the Exceeds and killing those foolish Earth Landers of which I would take great pleasure of wiping off of my kingdom! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!"
Everyone looked at my Edolas self as she stood there trembling not saying a word. A few moments passed and then Edolas Me looked back towards the Dorma Anim her eyes welling up with tears and said these words.
"I'm sorry, Father. Please forgive me, but... I can't obey that order!" she said. "I haven't forgotten everything that you've done for me and I have served you faithfully over these past few years and appreciate that, but I can't do it. I may be a proud samurai that has been disgraced to you, but even I can see that you've gone mad with power just as my Earth Land counterpart was trying to tell me." She then pointed an accusing an angry finger at the Dorm Anim. "And for that matter, the one that has brought shame and disgrace to this kingdom is you! You power driven old fool!"
All of the soldiers as well as Knightwalker all stared at my Edolas Self horrified and petrified for what she just said. I, however, couldn't help but grin from cheek to cheek.
"Holy crap," murmured Lucy who was just as stunned.
"Did she really just insult the king?!" gasped Coco who clasped her hands over her mouth.
"She sure did," I said laughing "That's the way to tell him, Edolas Me!"
"Yeah! Tell that old man how it is, Female Willy!" Natsu cheered.
"Aye, sir!" agreed Happy.
Faust was now furious. "You dare insult me, you wretched girl?!" he roared. "That's nothing short of treason! For your insolence and betrayal, you shall join the Exceeds and Earth Lander's in their fate!" He then looked at Knightwalker and his soldiers. "Don't just sit there! Get them! Make sure they're all lacrimas including that traitorous samurai! Anyone else who decides to betray me shall join those fools! So I decree as your king!"
"Yes, sir!" spoke the soldiers.
They then resumed their charge towards us charging their guns and preparing to fire.
"Quickly! Fly for your lives!" Mystogan yelled at the Exceeds.
The Exceeds obeyed everyone one of them panicking with terror as they flew as fast as they could trying to get away from Knightwalker and her soldiers. However, they weren't about to let them escape.
"Don't let them get away!" commanded Kngithwalker having to have recovered from her previous shock. "You heard the king! Capture all of the Exceeds!"
"Magicalizing cannons!" one soldier said taking aim with his weapon. "Charged and ready! And... fire!"
All of the soldiers then began firing their cannons shooting blue beams towards the flying cats. Whichever Exceed got hit with their beams automatically turned into a cute lacrima in the shape of a cat's head and fell to the ground below. The air was filled with the sounds of screaming Exceeds as they were turned into lacrimas one by one. As I looked around trying to see what I could do to help, I then took notice of Edolas Me who was flying her legion towards Knightwalker.
"Wait! Edolas Me! What are you doing?!" I yelled.
"I have to stop Knightwalker!" Edolas Me called back. "I may not have a sword or my armor, but I have to help these Exceeds! I can't just sit by and do nothing!" She then placed a hand on her legion. "Let's go Legion!" she commanded.
The legion let out a roar in response as it flew towards where Knightwalker and the others were. I was about to give chase to try and stop her, but then I saw something that made my eyes widen. The Dorma Anim's cannon from its mouth was beginning to glow as it charged with power aiming right towards Edolas Me and her legion.
"It's time you learned your place, girl!" Faust yelled. "I teach you to defy and insult me!"
I immediately pumped my wings and used my Aqua Jet and shot forward towards Edolas Me as the mechanical beast fired its cannon unleashing a powerful beam of white light.
"Edolas Me! LOOK OUT!" I yelled.
My Edolas Self looked down as she saw the blast coming. I knew that there wouldn't be time to dodge, so there was only one thing I could do. Before the blast could hit, I swooped by and scooped up Edolas Me in my arms just as the blast hit the legion. The legion screeched in agony as it was hit by the blast and fell towards the ground below.
Edolas Me was stunned for what just happened. Then she looked up at me seeing as I was the one that saved her.
"You... you saved me," she said.
"Just hang on!" I spoke. "Things are gonna get a little bumpy."
I curved turning myself around until I saw Coco's legion insight where Natsu and the others took cover. I flew towards the others dodging the cannon fire until I finally landed on the legion's back dispersing my wings.
"Are you two okay?" asked Lucy.
"Yes. Just about," I replied. "But that was too close for comfort. A few seconds later and we both could have turned into lacrimas." I looked back towards the insanity that was transpiring between the Exceeds and the soldiers. I then looked at Edolas Me to see if she was unharmed, but I saw that she had her head hung low her hair hiding her face from view.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "Are you hurt?"
She then looked up at me and I saw that her eyes were streaming with tears.
"I'm so sorry. You were right. He has gone mad with power," she sobbed. "I didn't want to believe it... and I tried my best to reason with him, but... he... he... went as far as to attack me..."
I placed a reassuring her shoulder. "It's OK. You tried your best," I said. "At least you tried to reason with him. But at this rate, every single Exceed is gonna end up as a lacrima. What should we do?"
"Whatever we can to help," replied Erza. "In the meantime, all of you try your best protect the Exceeds from The Royal Army while I try to take down Knightwalker."
"You got it," nodded Lucy. Then she happened to take notice of Natsu who was holding onto the legion's backside trying not to fall off. "Come to think of it, I'm surprised that you're able to ride this legion without getting sick, Natsu," she said. "Did you have Wendy cast a Troia spell to help with your sickness?"
"As if! How could I be nauseous when this thing isn't even a vehicle?!" Natsu said sounding offended. "This thing's lending us a hand and is our ally. How cruel can you get?"
"Well excuse me," sighed Lucy in resignation. "Then again its been a while since we've had an exchange like this..."
"Enough with the chatter, you losers!" Gray snapped. "We've gotta do something about that monster!"
"I wouldn't go near that thing if I were you," spoke Coco. "Your magic will be useless against it."
"Then we'll just have to dodge its attacks," said Mystogan. "We must do what we can to protect the Exceeds. They're completely defenseless right now."
The Dorma Anim then turned towards us with Faust's chuckling evilly. "You think that you can dodge me? We shall see," he said as the cannon in his armor's mouth began to charge up once again. "I will obliterate anyone who gets in my way! I won't let a single human or Exceed escape my wrath! NOW BEGONE!"
The cannon then fired unleashing another powerful beam of white light straight towards us. We braced for impact thinking that the blast was going to hit us, but at the last moment, Mystogan using his legion and the stakes on his back blocked the attack summoning a magic circle as he did.
"Mystogan!" Erza cried worriedly.
"Mystogan? Don't tell me that's the name you've chosen to be called in Earth Land," Faust scowled crossly. "You're real name is Jellal!"
"It doesn't matter who I am! The only thing that matters is stopping you from harming anyone else!" countered Mystogan. Then he looked back towards us. "You all need to leave now while you still can!"
"But what about you?!" I yelled out.
"Forget about me!" Mystogan yelled back. "Just go! Now!"
"Will he really be OK?" asked Coco worriedly.
"Don't worry. He's got this," spoke Natsu.
Jellal then waved his arms making some movements and made two more magic circles, one red and one light blue appeared on either side of the purple magic circle that was absorbing the blast from the Domra Anim.
"THREE LAYERED MAGIC CIRCLE MIRROR WATER!"
The blast from the Dorma Anim was absorbed into the magic circles and then redirected back towards it. Before the mechanical beast had a chance to defend, the redirected blast connected head on engulfing it in a giant explosion.
"No way," gasped my Edolas Self with amazement. "He was able to reflect the blast and send it back at him?!"
"I had no idea that he was so powerful, even without magic," spoke Lucy who was just as amazed.
"Well he isn't an S class wizard for nothing," I said.
"But did that get him?" wondered Gray.
His answer came sooner than expected. As the dust and smoke from the explosion pulled clear, the Dorma Anim could be seen still standing without having so much as a single scratch on it much to our shock.
"Goodness me. That tickled," Faust spoke in a mocking tone. "Was that supposed to hurt?"
"Whoa. There's not even a single scratch on it!" exclaimed Natsu.
"No way," murmured Lucy. "You've got to be kidding."
"That's freaking crazy!" cried Gray. "Just how strong is that damned thing?!"
"Behold! This is the power of the great Wizard Canceler!" Faust spoke out. "Struggle all you want you measly wizards, attack with all of your might, but it will not stop me! The Dorma Anim is impervious to all forms of magic!"
The Dorma Anim then unleashed another powerful blast aiming for Mystogan. This time the blast hit right on the mark as he along with his legion were blasted and Mystogan was knocked right off of his legion yelling in pain as he fell to the ground below.
"No! Mystogan!" cried Erza.
Faust laughed with triumph. "The mighty prince has fallen! I'm sure he'll feel right at home crawling along the ground with the other pests."
"You're gonna pay for that old man!" Gray yelled in anger as he put his right fist into his left palm preparing to use his magic. "ICE MAKE LANCE-"
But before he could cast his spell, the Dorma Anim unleashed another powerful at the legion we were riding on forcing the beast to dodge. Gray faltered and almost fell, but he quickly caught himself.
"Man! Talk about a rough ride," he said.
"No kidding," said Lucy. "It'd make anyone sick. Not just Natsu."
The Dorma Anim continued to fire its beam as us trying to shoot us down just like it did with Mystogan. Coco's legion managed to dodge the attacks, but it was only a matter of time before we would be hit. I looked around racking my brain trying to figure out what to do. There had to be something. That Dorma Anim looked pretty much unstoppable and not even Mystogan could stop that thing. But every unstoppable thing had to have a weakness of sorts. We just haven't found it.
Then I took notice of someone missing from our group. A certain fire dragon wizard. I looked around and I happened to look down towards the ground. I then took notice of Natsu who was far below on the ground head towards the Dorma Anim. I then realized what he had in mind and it wasn't just him that was down there. Gajeel was by his side too as was Wendy. This then made me understand what they had in mind and what I should do.
I then turned toward Edolas Me and placed my hand on her shoulder making her turn her attention towards me.
"Edolas Me," I spoke in a tone so only she could hear me. "I need you to stay here with the others where it's safe."
"Wait... where are you going to go at a time like this?!" asked Edolas Me.
I then smirked at Edolas Me. "I'm gonna go dragon hunting," I said as I spread my wings and then swooped down dive-bombing towards the Dorma Anim.
NO POV
"Damn it! This sucks!" complained Gray. "How're we supposed while dodging this thing!"
"I don't know," said Lucy. "But we have to do something! We can't keep this up forever!"
"I have an idea!" suggested Happy. "Let's use Lucy as a decoy and distract the dragon thingy!"
"Shut your face fish-breath!" Lucy snapped.
"Now, now. This isn't the time to get side-tracked," spoke Carla. Then she noticed something causing her to look around on the legion. "Wait a minute... has anyone noticed that we're missing a few people?"
Before anyone could answer, there was a mighty explosion as a familiar fiery force hit the Dorma Anim right smack on the back of its neck. Then another attack slammed the Dorma Anim in the sternum of its chest thanks to a large and long iron rod.
"What?! Who's attacking?!" demanded Faust in confusion and shock. "I don't understand! The Dorma Anim shouldn't be affected by magic attacks!"
Just then a certain long blunette came flying in from above just above the Dorma Anim's blind spot puffing up her cheeks.
"SKY DRAGON ROAR!"
She then unleashed a powerful breath attack sending the Dorma Anim skidding along the ground until it came to a stop.
"You little brat!" growled Faust as he regained himself.
Then another person came swooping down from air conjuring up a pair of swords and aiming them at the Dorma Anim.
"WATER DRAGON DOUBLE BLADES!"
The person gave his swords a mighty swipe both connecting right at the Dorma Anim's back causing the mechanical beast to stumble and fall onto one knee.
"Damn it all!" growled Faust now becoming livid. "Who the hell keeps attacking me?!"
The Dorma Anim turned around towards the other end of the colosseum and saw his attackers. There standing before him was Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, and Willy standing bravely before him ready for a fight.
"Pretty impressive job, Wendy," grinned Natsu as he cracked his knuckles. "You too Willy."
"Thank you very much, Natsu," said Wendy. "But you three can inflict much more damage than I can."
"Hope you're ready old man," growled Gajeel. "Because you're gonna pay for going after my cat."
"And for going after Edolas Me," added Willy glaring. "Hope you're ready because we're gonna beat you like a drum!"
Faust then glared from inside the Dorma Anim. "So it was you lot. I should've known."
Everyone from on top of Coco's legion looked down and saw the dragon slayers standing in front of Faust and were surprised.
"Natsu!" exclaimed Happy.
"Please be careful, Wendy," called Carla.
"You too, Gajeel and Willy!" called out Lucy. "You can do it!"
"Get going, We're good," Natsu spoke. "Just keep the cats safe. We got this."
Edolas Willy stared at the four dragon slayers standing bravely before the Dorma Anim. They were actually standing up to the Dorma Anim about to fight it. She was worried about her Father's safety even though he had tried to hurt her, but at the same time, she wanted to help him even though she was powerless. But however much she wanted to help, all she could do was stay on the sidelines and leave it up to her Earth Land counterpart.
She came close to the edge of the legion and cupped her hands to her mouth making sure that she was heard.
"Willy! Please stop my Father!" she called. "I know he's committed many atrocities, but he's still my Father! Please do what you can to stop and save him!"
Willy remained silent for a moment. Then he gave her a thumbs up without looking at her.
"I'll do my best!" he called back. "Just leave to us!"
Edolas Willy then stared at Earth Land Willy and her eyes filled with tears of emotion. Erza paused staring at the dragon slayers until she gave Natsu a nod.
"In that case, we'll leave it to you," said Erza. "Just make sure to win."
Lucy then glanced towards Erza with worry. "Are you sure they're gonna be able to handle that thing by themselves?" she asked.
"Don't be ridiculous. Of course, they can," spoke Gray with confidence as the legion flew away from the battlefield. "Who better to fight a dragon than those who were trained to defeat them? They're the only ones who stand a chance of defeating that thing. They're the dragon-hunting wizards known as... the dragon slayers."
