Saru: yeah, had to think a lot about it. thank you
Yogaratw607: I don't see Kaldo joining Fairy Tail sadly. Rayne becoming the bone of his sword. I Ryoh would love Blue Pegasus.
fruitspunchsamurai-987: yep
guest: its a fanmade thing.
Yorozuya forever: yeah, the only one out of them that's a piece of shit is mostly Orter, the rest are kinda chill.
kuroshiragami0: thank you
AnimeFan13579: Mash and Natsu racing by pushing cars while Edo Natsu is confused about all of that
Jss2141: hey, thanks. oh, well... You're probably going to be disapointed then.
stand up be strong: thank you. Yeah, I thought it might have been a little much but he doesn't really care about other people's feelings, even beating up and almost killing his servant just to explain to Mash how much of a mistake he is to the world, so I think it was in character for him.
Raven: I plan on having it, for sure, I love that fight.
Getwo: the getback! Who knows what will happen to those two. Yeah, Erza is a pretty smart person, now the team has theri healer! Yep, that is also why I made this crossover, how those two worlds clash in their ideologies and the way they function. Oh... Yeah... about that...
guest: lmao!
guesr: Mash just can't catch a break.
Sharpstrike: I have plans for the master canes.
Namesless5537: yep, they will. And they will have important roles, next arc.
Fairy Tail had a lead of one point, and now, if they managed to win this fight, they would already win the tournament due to the Visionaries not being able to catch up to them, but during their choice of fighter, something weird happened, a small creature with the numbers 008 on its forehead walked up to them
"Hello, I'm am a Servant Beast, you may call me 008. The next combatant is being demanded to be Mash Burnedead." The servant stated
"Oh, so it's my turn." Mash blinked, seems like he wasn't going to be saved for last
"So you're fighting the sand guy? Make sure to give him one hell of a beating!" Natsu told Mash
"Yeah! He is the one who started all of this, so make sure to show him what happens when you mess with us!" Lemon had faith in her husband
"I'll do my best." Mash gave his friends a thumbs up and walked away, following the small servant
"Isn't it a little suspicious that just now a servant was sent to take him… The other times we just had to walk there ourselves." Gray said
"Yeah, this is the first time someone has come to escort us to the arena…" Finn pondered
Lucy frowned slightly, she could have sworn she saw that little creature before… And right there, she remembered, it was the small dwarf that Orter said was his slave, or servant, before. She had a suspicion on what that may be, but it seems like Orter was planning to play dirty
"I'll be right back, have to go to the bathroom!" Lucy said, running off
"Oh, okay. See you later, Lucy!" Love waved at her
Finn looked at her a little worried, he had the same thought process as her but she acted first, well, Lucy is strong so he's sure she will be fine
And with the Divine Visionaries, Orter simply fixed his glasses and walked away, going to his fight
"Damm, he's pissed." Renatus said while letting out a small yawn
"I guess he never expected us to be so close to losing." Sophina said
"He underestimated those people. That's a mistake most of us made." Rayne said while closing his eyes
"Yeah, only one that I guess didn't do that was Tsurara, she actually really enjoyed them going so hard on her." Renatus smirked
"C-c-can we stop talking a-a-about t-t-that…?" Tsurara blushed and tried to hide herself on her robe
"Quit teasing her, she's already awkward enough normally." Sophina bonked Renatus once again
"Tsk, fine, fine." Renatus rubbed his head where he got hit "Buzzkill…"
He got bonked again
"Shit!"
—
Mash was following the small servant while thinking about what he would do in that fight against Orter, maybe he'd try to dig him away from the fight… Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
"So…" 008 began "I've heard the rumors that you don't possess magic."
"Yeah, they're right." Mash didn't really see a point in trying to hide it at this point
"I see. How difficult must it be? I can only imagine the cruelties you've experienced. You have my sympathies." 008 said while looking down
"Well, it's not that bad." Mash said "Training my body has… huh?"
Mash blinked when he noticed where he was, it was a massive hallway with various pillars perfectly organized one in front of the other
"This is a really spacious hallway." Mash blinked
"You don't sound that affected by your situation." 008 said, starting to transform, getting bigger and more muscular, his body being covered by white fur as his appearance became more wolf-like, turning around and staring Mash down with his claws out and growling at him, his clothes being barely able to contain his new hulking form "I find that attitude rather grating."
Mash widened his eyes in surprise at that and saw 008's claw coming to slash him, only for an axe to block the blow
"Don't even try it!" A massive cowman said as he was now having a strength competition with the wolfman
"Hey, it's the cowguy from the mountain." Mash said as he remembered seeing something like that before
"Mash!" Lucy ran to his side "Go to your match! This guy was planning to kill you!"
"Oh." Mash blinked and then looked at 008 "I'm sorry. I hate it when I accidently say something that upsets someone."
"Oh please, this has nothing to do with anything you said. In fact, I was ordered to get rid of you!" 008 said while starting to use his other claw to try and overpower Taurus
"I knew it! Mash, run off to your fight! I'll deal with this!" Lucy told her mushroom-headed friend
"Alright. Be safe." Mash nodded and ran off so he wouldn't be late to his fight. He wasn't really worried about Lucy, he believed she was strong and could deal with this
Lucy looked at the Beast Servant in front of her and got ready, while Taurus pushed him back, making 008 stumble a little before regaining his composure
"It was Orter who sent you, wasn't it? For a guy who is so stubborn about following the rules he sure likes playing dirty." Lucy frowned
"This is technically not a rule violation, since I'm not interfering in the match. It hasn't even begun, and if Mash ended up dying due to mysterious circumstances before even getting to the match, that'd be considered an automatic win for us." 008 explained
Lucy gritted her teeth, she knew Orter was a horrible person, and this just made her belief even stronger. This world truly is sick…
"Taurus, get him!" Lucy ordered her celestial spirit
"Moooo! Yes miss Lucy!" Taurus did a war mooo
The bovine spirit charged at the lupine servant, swinging his axe at him while he tried to fight back with a claw slash, the two attacks clashing as both began to try break each other's stance by continually slashing and clashing with each other
"He's able to compete with Taurus in pure strength…" Lucy frowned slightly
Taurus kept on trying to attack 008, finally managing to blow him back slightly and slams his axe at him, blowing him back while making him groan
"Moooo!"
"Good job Taurus!" Lucy cheered for her celestial spirit
"Thank you, Miss Lucy! With your beautiful body cheering me on, there's no way I'd lose!" Taurus said
"It's not only my body that's cheering for you!" Lucy yelled while blushing
008 glared at those two, his magic power rising while a shadow covered his face
"Do you know what we, Servant Beasts, are?" 008 asked "We are cursed creatures forced into servitude by our masters, incapable of fighting against our masters in exchange for tremendous power!"
008 yelled and stabbed his claws onto Taurus' stomach, making him scream in pain, 008 raised Taurus up and then punched him to the ground, making him bounce away before he managed to get up, not really looking that wounded
"Taurus!" Lucy yelled
"I'm fine, Miss Lucy!" Taurus yelled back, running back into the fight, but all of his attacks were parried by 008
"You need to understand, as someone who can't use Magic, Mash needs to leave this competition!" 008 said, blocking another strike from Taurus and being sent skidding back
Taurus tried to slash him once more, only for 008 to grab his axe and try to pull it away, the two now having a strength competition for the axe. But Lucy managed to notice something, her eyes widening a little
"Taurus, return!" Lucy ordered
"What!? But Miss Lucy-"
"Please, just trust me." Lucy looked incredibly determined, making Taurus widen his eyes while looking at her
Taurus gulped and kicked 008 away from him, jumping back and looking at Lucy, a worried expression on his face, but his master gave him a reassuring nod to him, Taurus decides to trust his master this time and goes back to the spirit world, Lucy then walked up to 008
"You're approaching me?" 008 questioned but Lucy simply glared at him
008 frowned at her and then moved for a stab, quickly moving her arm quickly and penetrating Lucy's body with his claws, cracking the ground and causing various debris to rise up, Lucy screamed in pain but she stood her ground, not moving
"You didn't dodge." 008 frowned "Why?"
"It's because I understood you." Lucy said while panting, putting her hand on his "I'm a Celestial Wizard, I can understand spirit and servant creatures better than most, and thanks to that I can see how you don't want to do this. You have a good heart, but you're being forced to act this way, and probably being threatened by Orter. After the way we saw him treat, I can tell how scared you are of him."
"Don't act all nice towards me human, you have servants just like the people here!" 008 said while glaring at her
"It's not like the way you think, we have contracts and have a mutual respect and understanding of each other. I'd never force my celestial spirits to do something they don't want to do, and I'd never threaten nor hurt them." Lucy said while moving her hand over his body, putting her hand on 008's cheek to try and calm him down "They're my friends after all. And that's how this type of stuff should be. Not a curse nor a master and servant relationship. But friends help each other fight and be strong together."
Lucy smiled at 008, making them widen their eyes for a small moment, his brain remembering his previous interactions with humans
"It might understand our language but it only has animal intelligence…"
"You just need to shut up and do what you're told!"
"Know your place, slave."
"You should be happy we keep you alive."
"This girl… She's a human but…" 008 thought and let go of her, his body shrinking back to its normal form "She's so kind to me…"
Lucy hissed in pain a little and got to her knees, looking at the small form of 008 and giving him some headpats, making the small servant beast look at her
"It's okay, see?" Lucy says with a smile
008 looked down again, he has no idea what is going to happen to him after the fight, Orter is for sure going to be angry at him
"There's no need to be worried, Mash is going to deal with Orter." Lucy tried to reassure him
"No, he shouldn't even fight against him." 008 said, making Lucy curious "You don't know what I know but I'll say exactly why this is a mistake on his part. Several years ago, the entire continent suffered an attack of the Madjinn… Their mere presence was enough to crush mountains and turn the skies black, their entire species possesses immense strength, even Divine Visionaries have problems fighting against them. That's thanks to the immense amount of magic power they possess, their average members have as much magic power as the top class humans, and the security of the Magic Bureau, composed of the best mages, struggled against them… But not Master Orter, he and his reinforcements dealt with them without issue, most astonishingly, he single handedly defeated six of them without issue."
Lucy widened her eyes, creatures strong enough to rival the people they were fighting right there, being humiliated by Orter without difficulty, that made her even more nervous about this fight
"It is a human's inborn talent that determines their ability, intelligence, athletic capability, even magic. Yes, effort allows you to unlock and nurture that talent, but…" 008 began and looked at the gates of the arena "You must first be born with this talent, and Master Orter was born with the talent to stand above all in this world of magic."
Lucy gulped, maybe things weren't going to be as sure as she expected but… She still had faith
"That may be, but Mash has worked hard without stopping for the most of his life from what I know." Lucy said while looking at the gate "So I'm sure he can at least teach Orter a very important lesson."
—
At the arena the gates opened and the two fighters saw each other, Orter seemed angered at seeing the magicless boy, but he would deal with that another time
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the seventh round of the tournament, this may even be the final round so you must all get ready for this! On the side of the Divine Visionaries, we have the one who abides by the book the most! The leader of the magic power administration of the Magic Bureau! His power is more extensive than the biggest deserts! The Desert Cane!" An yelled into her mic while Orter fixed his glasses "ORTER MADL!"
Orter walked into the arena, making Mash's world cheer for him, and even got a reaction from Earthland, from Wirth who was watching that fight, frowning slightly
"Orter…" Wirth growled
Shuen saw how his friend reacted to seeing his older brother and put a hand on his back, trying to comfort him the best he could
"And on the side of Fairy Tail, we have the magicless boy himself! The one abandoned by God! The one who thinks his muscles alone can overcome magic! The main challenger and the one who is fighting for his life!" An yelled at the top of her lungs "MASH BURNEDEAD!"
Mash walked into the arena, being booed by Mash's world, but Earthland actually cheered for him, the people there actually heard of him and especially after his help in the fight against Jellal, even the Magic Council actually had a level of respect towards Mash. And even his dad sighed while looking at that
"Please… Be safe, Mash." Regro closed his eyes for a second
And even the magic police was feeling weird about this, after all, they had a deal with Mash and seeing him fighting against a Divine Visionary, and the one being Orter of all people, made him reconsider his choices on the deal
"Are you two ready? Remember, the rules are that killing is not allowed and the first one to pass out or give up loses!" An began while Mash and Orter glared at each other "And in 3!"
"I cannot accept you." Orter began "It takes one exception for the entirety of the system to collapse. You've garnered the support of Wahlberg and the others for your usefulness that could be used against Innocent Zero, but we don't need you. I alone will be enough. And I'll show you that."
"Well, I have to beat you to be accepted, so that's what I'm going to do." Mash said
"2!"
"And also, you messed with my friends. That's something I cannot allow." Mash got into a fighting position
Orter raised his wand
"1!"
The two get ready to fight, exchanging looks while the two teams watch with a nervous look, Lucy walking back into her team while having her wounds bandaged up, worrying her friends but she assures them that she's fine.
"Fight!"
"Three minutes will be enough for me to turn you to dust." Orter said while fixing his glasses, a massive amount of sand raising above him
The sand moved rapidly to try and hit Mash, making him jump back and dodge, the sand hitting the ground and cracking it while making a incredibly deep hole
"That's a big hole…" Mash widened his eyes slightly
Mash then felt something covering his foot, looking at it he saw that it was now covered in sand. Mash looked up and saw a sand spike coming flying at him, Mash quickly tried to remove his leg off the the sand, thinking quick and taking off his shoe to get himself free, moving his head to the side and dodging the attack by a hair
"Yikes."
The spike of compressed sand hit a wall, shattering it, the wall being one above An's little hiding space, making the announcer widen her eyes in pure terror. The spike then grew four more spikes, flying towards Mash, forcing him to backflip to dodge the attack, the sand spikes creating more spikes
"Thanks to the versatility of sand I cannot be defeated by him. I compressed my sand enough for it to cut through metal, shatter boulders and move so fast that it is practically impossible to dodge." Orter thought while pushing his glasses up
But Orter didn't know that Mash's muscles make the impossible possible, thanks to how compressed his muscles strings have been, the density basically turned them into a wound steel spring, allowing him to dodge the sand at superspeed not matter how much the sands spikes tried to follow him, a black blur running around the arena while the sand tried to stab him
"So fast! I can't even see him moving!" Jet said in shock
"Wait, you guys are having trouble keeping up?" Finn asked confused
"Uh… Yes?" Droy said
"Oh… Well, you're going to have a lot more when they start getting serious." Finn said, thanks to how used he was to Mash doing insane stuff at superspeeds, his eyes can keep up very easily with that level of speed
"R-really!? Who else is managing to see them!?" Max asked in shock
"Me." Love, Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Makarov, Levy, Cana, Lemon, Lance, Dot, Juvia, Abyss, and Abel answered at the same time making Max gape at them
Mash then landed on the ground and charged at Orter, who send massive sand spike towards him, but thanks to the fights and his time training in the world of Fairy Tail, his muscles have increased in strength way more than they would have normally, so he managed to punch through the sand, moving up to Orter while destroying the sand. If a number had to be put, a weak punch from Mash has a force of forty to fifty tons
"Hmm…" Orter frowned
Mash was confident about this, his muscles had managed to overcome magic time and time against before, why would this time be any different? Mash managed to get up to Orter and tried to deliver a kick to his face, only for it to be stopped by a barrier of sand. This time it was different, because this time… he was fighting against Orter Madl. Mash widened his eyes and jumped back.
"You're an anomaly. Removing you from society would benefit the majority." Orter said, trying to explain his side, but Mash stayed silent "That other world may have accepted you, but don't expect the same from this one. Discrimination is nothing more than a means of survival of the fittest. You're simply on the wrong side of history asking the majority to turn a blind eye."
The Fairy Tail team frowned at what Orter was saying, he was trying to make sense of ethnical genocide as if it was something normal, that was nothing more than sick. Even Erza in the medical room was angered by hearing that
"..." Mash, however, remained silent
Orter then sent a massive sand spike toward Mash once again, making Mash jump to the side to dodge, only for him to notice the spike moving up and going right to the stand where Fairy Tail was, forcing Mash to move back and punch the spike, destroying it and saving his friends
"Oi! He just tried to kill us!" Natsu yelled
"Yeah, what the hell was that!? That was totally on purpose! That sand could have dirtied my cute clothes or my cute hair!" Love yelled enraged "Do you know how hard it is to clean sand off my hair!? Have some tact you dumb sand idiot!"
Wahlberg gave Orter a glare, but he seemed to just ignore that
"I didn't do anything, that was simply Mash dodging my attack, I cannot control where they go after they're launched." Orter said making Mash glare at him "This is but an example of how your foolish words and actions can affect others. You need to understand that your mere existence brings about a net loss."
But Mash remained silent, looking at his friends who gave him a determined look, he didn't want them to get hurt so he already knew what he should do
"Now then…" Orter moved his wand forward
A massive sand spike flew towards Mash, and then stabbed him right through his side, making blood fly out of Mash while he moved his arms up to try and block more incoming attacks
"You decided to not dodge…" Orter widened his eyes slightly, actually surprised by that
"Mash, don't!" Dot yelled
"It's okay, we can take it!" Lucy yelled at him "If you don't dodge you will get killed!"
"Y-yeah! I take back what I said about getting dirty! I don't mind it as long as it means you and the others will stay safe!" Love yelled "Well… Okay, I do mind it, but not as much as dying!"
But Mash didn't move, more sand spikes flew at him, slashing and stabbing his body, making the Fairy Tail team widen their eyes in worry, except for a few members. Finn, Lemon, Erza, who was still in the medical room, and Natsu. Those four just kept on looking at Mash and what he was doing, trusting him and believing he had a plan
"I've grasped the magnitude of his strength from what he showed up until now. I simply need to increase my sand's weight and speed. He's only human. Strong as he may be…" Orter thought, sending various sand spikes towards him, one managing to stand right through his chest, appearing in the back of his cape, while various other spikes crashed into him, causing a massive sand explosion "Flesh is still flesh."
Everyone widened their eyes when they saw that, Mash's remaining shoe falling on the ground along with the rest of his cape, but Orter seemed confused
"This doesn't seem right… There's some blood and a shoe…" Orter wondered "But there's no body…"
"Special Art: Body Substitution Jutsu." Mash was heard behind Orter, being stuck to a wall by his fingers
"But I saw my attacks hit him…" Orter turned around while frowning
"I saw everything…" Finn widened his eyes "The instant before the attack hit, Mash moved at such a speed that he removed his clothes so fast and ran behind Orter, but the clothes didn't realize they had been removed, remaining in place and keeping his form, taking the hit for him."
Mash jumped off the wall, spinning in the air while Orter tried to move his sand to protect himself, only for the sand shield to be destroyed by his foot
"Did you think I'd just accept you trying to hurt my friends like that?" Mash said and hit Orter over the head with his foot
But Mash foot passed right through his head, making Mash widen his eyes as Orter's body turned into sand
"He's sand?"
A sand tentacle moved up to Mash's leg and grabbed him, yanking him away from Orter, more of those sand tentacles appearing and grabbing Mash's legs and arms, leaving him in the air
"It's over." Orter said as his head was rebuild
A massive sand spike was then sent flying towards Mash, making him widen his eyes
"Mash!" Finn yelled, finally getting worried about the current situation
Mash used a massive amount of strength to move his arms, making veins pop around his arms, managing to break through the sand and clap his hands, causing a sonicboom so strong that it blew Orter's sand away
"Impossible…" Orter widened his eyes
Mash broke through the sand shackles and got in a running position
"Hamstring Magic: Big Bang Dash."
Mash then dashed at Orter, tackling him but passing right through him thanks to his sand body, but Mash then dropped to the ground, putting his hand on the ground and starting to breakdance on the ground, moving so fast he starts creating a massive tornado, pulling in Orter's sand, forcing him to solidify his body back into his normal form
"Breakdance tornado!" Love yelled while holding onto Dot so she didn't fly away… but Dot was having to be kept in place by Lance's gravity
Orter frowned and pointed his wand at Mash
"Sands Burial." Orter said and sent a massive amount of sand towards Mash, burying him under that
Orter then looked at the mountain of sand he created, only to see it getting a little smaller, onto for Mash to come flying out of the top of it, having turned his wand into a shovel, digging through Orter's sand
"What?" Orter was genuinely confused
Mash then ran at Orter, who send more sand spikes at him, only for Mash to dig through them, and then to try and hit Orter with the shovel wand, only for Order to block using his arm, and then hitting Mash in the chest with another sand spike, but Mash flexed his muscles and managed to block the attack with them, being pushed back, hitting the spike with his shovel, splitting it in half and starting to spin it incredibly fast, causing a massive flame tornado thanks to friction
"Flame tornado! So cool!" Natsu yelled in shock
Love and Milo then got to the ground, dodging some sparks that flew at them
"Watch out! You almost hit my hair!"
"Watch out! You almost hit my hat!"
Orter widened his eyes, seeing the sand around him turning into glass thanks to the heat, even the flames he create are this incredibly strong, Mash then charged at Orter, making him move back quickly, the flame tornado stopping right when Orter dodged a punch
"That's truly insane." Orter said while glaring at the magicless boy
"Yeah, the majority of people I fight have that reaction." Mash said, he already noticed a few ways to deal with his sand transformation
—
At somewhere else, more specifically at Lance and Ana's house, Ana was watching the tournament while trying her best to cheer for Mash, he was her brother's friend, so there's no way he could be a bad person. She then heard the door opening, seeing Wahlberg entering the room
"Oh, hello Mr Wahlberg…" Ana said with a smile
"Hello, Ana. Are you enjoying the tournament?" Wahlberg asked, giving the little girl a plate of pudding
"Oh yes! It's very nice, I just wished I could see my brother fighting. But I don't really like how they are treating those other people, they are very nice, they don't deserve to be treated like they're villains…" Ana said, taking the plate of pudding into her hands
—
Silva and Lauren were also watching the fight, not really knowing how to react to that situation, after all, that was a nice thing but after what Silva saw, all of that determination to try and help Mash of all people made him feel a little bad about what he did in the past… but only a little
"Are you okay, Silva?" Lauren asked her boyfriend
"Huh? Oh yeah, don't worry about it. Mushroomhead is probably going to die in this fight anyway so I shouldn't really think about him." Silva said, trying to dismiss his thoughts
Lauren frowned a little at what he said, he seemed a little too nervous about this stuff, she also felt a little bad about all she did to him in the past considering what she saw, but not much. Lauren then gave her boyfriend a small kiss on the cheek
"Eh!?" Silva was caught by surprise, blushing a little
"Hihi. I think I know what's on your mind." Lauren said with a giggle, putting a hand on his thigh while pulling her tie down, undoing a few buttons on her shirt "And I can probably make you stop thinking about it very easy~."
"Ohoho! Oh, I just love how naughty you are, honey." Silver smirked, putting his hands around his girlfriend's hips
"Ohohoho, oh, young love." Wahlberg laughed, being already inside the room
The two bullies in love yelped, moving back with Lauren using her coat to cover herself while Silva fell on the ground
"Holy shit! Where did you come from, old man!?" Silva yelled in shock
"Just because you're the principal doesn't mean you can invade your students' privacy!" Lauren yelled
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wahlberg waved his hand at them
—
At Saint Ars Holy Magic Academy, the best student at that school, Kingruss Crookin, the one who even faced Rayne Ames in the last year of the Divine Visionary tests.
"Impressive." Kingruss said with his arms crossed, he was shocked at how his rival lost but also being impressed at how Fairy Tail was doing in this tournament
But he then felt something weird, a massive amount of magic power walking up to his room, and when he looked to the side, he saw Wahlberg there, but there was something wrong there…
—
At the Orca Dorm of Easton, a boy with red hair and a muscular tall person with a shaved head were looking at the fight, with the muscular person playing piano, both were double liners
"They are strong…" the red haired mage said
"Indeed… The one I liked the most was Erza Scarlet. She truly is equal to the beautiful symphony of summer!" The muscular person played the piano more intensely
"The girl with white hair had an aura about her…" the red haired mage said
Suddenly the door to their dorm opened, a person with red hair and no line entering their room, making the two look at him with their guard up
"Carpaccio, Maragarette, I heard you have an interest in the fighters of Fairy Tail?" The person said with a smile
—
At Walkis magic school, Levis was seeing the duel with a evil smile
"Everyone there is strong, but I think Natsu didn't have enough time to show what he's made of. He didn't even hurt his opponent." Levis said while crossing his arms
"Stronger than you?" Domina smiled while looking at his companion
"Hah! Hell no! But it would be fun to prove how much stronger I am than them! And maybe even get that Natsu as one of my minions." Levis smirked
Domina smiled, looking at his shoulder and seeing a miniscule Brandish along with him, nodding at him, the pink haired mage closed his eyes with a smile
"Really now?" Domina asked
—
Ana was eating her pudding while looking at the screen, both Orter and Mash weren't being able to do much to each other, but she then noticed something weird…
"Mr Wahlberg…" Ana began "How are you here if you're also there in the tournament?"
When Ana asked that Wahlberg looked at her, his face seeming to have some cubes moving around it, transforming into a different face, one of a man with glasses, making the little girl widen her eyes
"Y-you're not-" when Ana was going to scream the person grabbed her neck, making her gasp for air
The person raised her up, his body transforming into one of an adult man wearing a suit, two lines on his chin making an X
"Do not scream, Ana. You shouldn't waste pudding by speaking with your mouth full." The person said, terrifying Ana and making her eyes water but… that person looked incredibly familiar
—
Silva got up while Lauren fixed her clothes, looking back at the screen and noticing that Wahlberg was actually still there at the arena, the bully couple widened their eyes as they realized a imposter was there in the room with them
"What's wrong?" The importer Wahlberg asked
"Iron Fist!" Silva yelled, pointing his wand at the imposter and making a chunk of iron rise from the ground to hit him "Lauren, let's run!"
Silva and Lauren tried to escape, but the imposter transformed into another form, breaking the iron with a kick and grabbing the head of the two mages and hitting them against the ground, making them scream in pain
"Gyahahahaha! I bet you didn't expect to have another man pounding ya girlfriend today!" the imposter with blond hair cackled maniacally
The two panted while looking at the imposter with wide eyes, scared about what would happen to them
—
Kingruss was on his knees, panting as his Secondth disappeared, various giant summoned soldiers disappearing, while Wahlberg finished transforming into a clown man, with him smiling psychotically at the previous year's divine visionary candidate
"D-damm it…" Kingruss growled
"Your knights are nice. I want them." The clown man said while approaching him
He grabbed Kingruss, raising him up like he was nothing
—
Back at the fight with Mash and Orter, Orter was panting while Mash glared at him, the two seemed tired, Mash took one step forward, reaching to his wrists, while some black lightning began to emanate out of Orter's wand
"They are getting serious now!" Renatus said
But when they were going to do something… Everything stopped. Time itself stopped, everything turning black and white, Wahlberg and Makarov widened their eyes, looking around in shock
"What's this!?" Makarov said while looking around
"Time magic…" Wahlberg frowned
The sky above the arena cracked, revealing a new dimension, and from there descended a man covered by robe, some white strands of hair coming out of it while the two elderly mages looked up
"Makarov, Wahlberg." The man smiled, removing what covered his head, revealing his red eyes and his singular double clock pointer line below his eye, along with long white hair "Greetings. You two have something I need, so how about we talk."
"Innocent Zero…" Wahlberg got up and walked forward and jumped out of his chamber
Makarov frowned and glared at that person, who just smiled at them. Innocent Zero has finally made a move.
Sorry for blueballing all of you with Mash vs Orter, but tuns out daddy didn't like seeing his little boy being bullied and so decided to interfere.
Innocent Zero is here, what will he do?
Some things this chapter set up events for Battle of Fairy Tail, other for more future arcs, which one's which? I don't know, but Innocent is back to kidnapping children. We even got to see people like Silva and Lauren this time.
Now is time for the old men to face off against Innocent, but will that be enough? Is Innocent actually alone on this one? Where is Ryoh during all of this? Will Mash be able to punch and flex his way out of this one? Well... only time will tell~
