Jss2141: hey, thank you very much
OniTenshi500: bruh, poor Innocent!
yogaratw607: nope, never heard of it, but I have other DxD crossovers in mind. Dot sure blew our expactations away with that one. Hmm, maybe I can do that. I'll check it out.
Kuroshiragami0: here it is
leonardo18anime: nah, Macaronni is crazy. And don't worry, they'll join a guild and I'll try to give some more to Carpaccio in the future, not sure what tho.
marvelesque1der: my source for it is that I made it the fuck up.
animefan13579: oh, that's very funny, they'd connect on a spiritual level on that one.
raremeat: that's actually not a bad idea
Yorozuya Forever: Dot is the goat! Poor Gray just can't catch a break.
guest: oh yeah, I do. Never noticed that, I guess its just such a prevalent part of how I speak that I add it a lot uncousciously, I'll try to tone it down
Getwo: good old cards against humanity, never disapoints. Dot always blowing up. end of sentence. I tried to make her somewhat sympathetic while still being somewhat of a bitch if that makes sense. The man is coming, and he hopes everyone is thirsty. Abel just looks at Mash like "fuck did I do?"
In the streets of Magnolia, the battle raged on, with now the main threats participating in the battle, the main one being… Freed
"Hmm…" Freed walked around the city, not looking worried in the slightest about being attacked, but he did have a lot on his mind "Is this truly right? Even involving those people in this… Laxus also doesn't seem like himself recently… No, I mustn't think like that. I must help Laxus until the bitter end, that's just how it is."
However, his walk would end up being interrupted by a gunslinger walking up to him, and a bloodied gunslinger to his surprise. It was Alzack, who had finally found one of the members of the Thunder Legion
"Freed…" Alzack panted, exhausted after fighting so much "Thanks to your Jutsu Shiki I have been forced to hurt my friends… While being forced to tell myself that it was for the sake of saving Bisca…"
Freed didn't react to that, he just looked at him with an unreadable expression, which angered Alzack, who pulled out two pistols and charged at the strongest member of the Thunder Legion, before something pulled him back
"What?" Alzack widened his eyes
He looked down and saw an arrow pointing backwards sending him tumbling down, and when he got back up and looked to the side, he saw Abyss right there with him
"What are you-?"
"Do not go near him. He is right on top of a Jutsu Shiki." Abyss said while pulling out his sword
"How do you know that?" Alzack asked shocked
"I have trained my magic sensing capabilities to help me find powerful magic users. I have somewhat of a special ability to counter their abilities." Abyss said, glaring at Freed
"You're referring to your Evil Eye, aren't you?" Freed asked, making Abyss frown "While it is quite the impressive ability, being able to cancel out magic by simply looking at your opponent, it won't have any effect on me. My Jutsu Shiki are already casted, canceling my magic will have no effect on them, and I myself don't need magic to beat you two."
"Abyss…" Alzack was shocked that the speed mage had such a powerful card up his sleeve
"And I'll guess Milo told you that. So I guess there's no point in hiding it during this fight." Abyss said, removing his eye patch and throwing it on the floor, his yellow eye glaring at Freed, who felt his magic disappear from his body at that moment "Let's see if your actions can back up your words."
Freed sighed and pulled out his sword, with Alzack not wasting any time and pointing his two guns at him
"Don't go thinking I'll just stand aside and watch after what you did! Guns Magic: Tornado Shot!" Alzack yelled, shooting two magic bullets that turned into two tornadoes
Freed's response to that was to slash his sword forward, cutting through that like it was nothing, Abyss acted quick and got in front of Alzack and pulled out his sword, blocking the shockwave of the attack and being pushed back along with the gun mage, who widened his eyes in shock
"My magical wind bullets were sliced in half…" Alzack said shocked
"Tsk, even the shockwave was enough to blow me back…" Abyss frowned, it seems like this opponent is too much for him to handle alone "Alzack. We have to fight together if we want to beat him."
"What? Are you sure?" Alzack asked
"Positive. Freed is too strong for any of us to beat him by ourselves, so teaming up is our only option. And besides…" Abyss gave him a small glance with his normal eye "I understand the feeling of cherishing someone so much that you'd do anything to save them. I myself have someone I have those feelings for."
Alzack looked at Abyss for a moment and then nodded, he was done hurting his friends thanks to the Thunder Legion, right now, he was going to work along with them to save Bisca!
"Yeah, let's do this!" Alzack nodded
Freed didn't say anything, he simply watched the two before charging at them, his sword drawn, ready to strike
"Acceleraise!" Abyss said and an arrow appeared below him, boosting him forward
Freed quickly changed his stance and blocked Abyss' high speed slash, their blades clashing and send sparks around, making Freed raise an eyebrow
"Intriguing." Freed said before he parried Abyss back
"Guns Magic: Spark Shot!" Alzack yelled, shooting and electric bullet at Freed
But the green haired mage slashed that bullet away, only for Abyss to come from behind using his speed magic and try to slash at him, but Freed dodged the attack and kicked Abyss in the back sending him tumbling down
"Accel Clones!" Abyss said, a magic circle appearing under him before he disappeared from sight
Suddenly various afterimages of Abyss appeared around Freed, making him raise his eyebrows in slight surprise
"So you have learned magic from this world too. Milo didn't inform us of this. Was it a secret?" Freed asked
"Maybe it was." Abyss said before his various forms charged at him
And Freed surprisingly dodged them all, his footwork making him almost unable to be hit, but Alzack was that to help with that
"Guns Magic: Mud Shot!" Alzack shot a mud bullet at Freed, trying to disrupt his footing
But Freed wasn't bothered by that, he dodged the bullet and parried a hit from the real Abyss, making the two mages widen their eyes in shock
"Like I said, I don't need magic to beat you." Freed said
"T-tsk!" Abyss moved back
"Don't underestimate us!" Alzack yelled, summoning various guns around Freed "Guns Magic: Omnidirectional Expansion!"
And so the guns began to shoot at Freed, who didn't seem to be willing to dodge anything, he gripped his sword and spun around, and in less than an instant all of the guns were slashed to pieces along with the bullets
"I-impossible! That was my strongest spell!" Alzack said in shock
"Acceleraise Sphere!" Abyss then charged at Freed with various arrows following him, passing him in a sphere position
Alzack's eyes didn't see what happened, but in the next second Abyss was behind Freed with his sword drawn… before it shattered to pieces and Abyss spat out blood, various slashes around his body spilling out even more blood out of him before he fell to the ground defeated, and Freed didn't have a single scratch on him
"I failed you… Master Abel…"
"One is down. Now for the other." Freed looked at Alzack who glared at him
"D-don't think I'll-" he couldn't even finish speaking before Freed was already behind him
Alzack yelled out in pain as he felt a slash appear across his stomach, he fell to his knees, trying to cling onto consciousness
"S-sorry Bisca… I couldn't save you…" and so Alzack lost consciousness
Freed gave them both a glance before walking away, sheeting his sword without uttering a single word, he needed to have a talk with Laxus…
—
Speaking of him, Laxus was still seething thanks to the recent results of Evergreen's defeat
"Dammit Evergreen… How could you let yourself be defeated like that!?" Laxus grit his teeth in anger
"She underestimated her opponent and paid the price for it. She shouldn't have played around so much." Freed was heard approaching. He got there fast…
"And what are you doing here?" Laxus asked
"The game is over. We have already lost, so we should-" Freed said
Laxus glared at him, making Freed flinch and move his arms up in a defensive way, a wave of lightning barely missing him, Freed widened his eyes in shock
"Laxus…"
"This isn't over yet. I've already put plan B into action." Laxus said cracking his knuckles "If ya want to chicken out now then be my guest. I don't need weaklings in my new Fairy Tail."
Freed gulped while widening his eyes. Laxus never talked to him like this before… What has happened to him?
—
Back at Fairy Tail, the girls were just filled in on the situation
"Battle of Fairy Tail!?" Lucy said
"So Laxus decided to pull some shit like that?" Cana said
"Howevers this is all over now. That you are all free Laxus can't possibly keep this stupid game going any longer." Makarov smirked happily
"But what about all of the people that got caught in Freed's traps and forced to fight each other?" Mira asked
"Yeah, we can't just let him go unpunished after that!" Busca yelled
"Oh, don't worry, I'll give him a proper talking later. Laxus has gone too far this time." Makarov said
"Hey, hold it there." Natsu lifted his hand "Look, I know that what Laxus did was screwed up and all of that, forcing all of us to fight each other and petrifying the girls, but I don't think there's something actually wrong about the concept of finding out who's the strongest in the guild."
"I'm… not sure I agree, Natsu." Levy let out an awkward laugh
"Look, all I'm saying is… Don't be too harsh on the guy, alright, gramps?" Natsu smiled and looked at Makarov
"Natsu… You really are something else." Makarov looked shocked at Natsu's words
"Although at some level I agree with Natsu, I still think Laxus actions are too much. He deserves at the very least some punishment." Erza crossed her arms
"Well, how about we start the round 2 o Battle of Fairy Tail huh!?" Natsu yelled out
"I don't think now is the time for that." Mash blinked
"Oh come on, I still haven't even done anything! I'm raring to go a few rounds with someone!" Natsu started to shadow box
"Please stop… Coming from you it's impossible to know if you're joking or not." Lucy sweatdropped
"Shit, if you're looking for a fight I'm not against going a few rounds with ya." Cana smirked as she stretched a little
"Don't encourage him." Bisca sighed
"Natsu, I don't think you should be fighting girls." Happy told him
"Ah, I don't care if they're a girl or a guy, I'll fight anybody!" Natsu yelled
"Me too, I'm an advocate for gender equality." Mash raised his hand
"He gets it! Come on Mash! Let's go a few rounds me, you, Erza, and Lucy!" Natsu yelled
"Don't include me in this!" Lucy ran away as Natsu chased her
"Fufufu, he sure is filled with energy." Erza smiled and shook her head
"That's Natsu for ya." Mash shrugged
Meanwhile Gajeel just stood aside with his arms crossed, watching the scene unfold without much of a reaction
"Something wrong, Gajeel?" Juvia asked
"It's nothing."
"...The guild is a lot of fun, isn't it?" Juvia smiled as she asked him that
"They're fucking insane." Gajeel turned away with a grunt
But the fun would not last long, Mira turned to the side and saw a black barrier forming on the door
"What's that?" Mira asked
And so when the barrier was complete, a skull with crossed bones behind it and a lightning mark across it's face appeared, with more screens with the same symbol appearing all around the guild
"What!? The display boards are flooding the guild!" Makarov yelled
"So the pirates have finally come." Mash seemed super serious
"It's obviously not that!" Lucy yelled
"Can ya hear me old man? And everyone in the guild too?" A voice came out of the screens, and it was…
"Laxus…" Mash and Natsu said at the same time
"It seems like one of our rules has become completely useless, so to make up for it and to keep the games still running, I'll add a new one." Laxus said "I have activated the Thunder Palace."
"The Thunder Palace!?" Makarov widened his eyes in shock
"You have less than three hours now. Will you be able to beat us or will ya play nice and retire, master?" Laxus said before laughing maniacally, the screens disappearing from sight
"What on earth are you thinking, Laxus!? Are you trying to drag Innocent civilians into this!?" Makarov screamed in pure anger
But suddenly he felt something on his chest, he gasped in pain as he grabbed his chest and fell to his knees
"Gramps!" Natsu yelled as he ran to his side
"Master!" Mash widened his eyes
"This is bad! He needs his medicine!" Mira said running to go get the medicine for the master
"At a time like this!?" Bisca said in shock
"Master, please hold on!" Erza said as she checked his pulse
"Gramps! Gramps, get up!" Natsu yelled in a panic
"Everyone! Look outside, it's terrible!" Mira yelled as she ran back into the room with the medicine
The group ran up into the higher floors to go to one of the giant balconies the guild had, looking up and seeing various lacrymas floating around the town, each one sparking with lightning
"What's that?" Mash asked
"Lightining Lacrymas?" Levy said squinting her eyes
"Those things are floating all around the town!?" Cana said in shock
"Each one of those lacrymas is charged with a massive amount of lightning magic… Does that mean…?" Lucy widened her eyes
"That's the Thunder Palace!" Juvia yelled in shock
"Is he planning on blasting the entire town with those things!?" Cana yelled
"Most likely… And if he does the entire town will be reduced to nothing but ashes…" Erza grit her teeth in anger
"As if I'm going to let him do that!" Bisca said as she requipped a sniper rifle onto her hand
The gunslinger mage spun the sniped in her hand and pointed it at one of the lacryma, frowning slightly before shooting it, with her bullet hitting it's target and making the lacryma explode into pieces
"Alright!" Lucy cheered
"Nice going there, Bisca!" Cana praised
"No problem. I'm going to take down every single one of these." Busca said as she cocked her gun
But then she felt something weird, something similar to a jolt through her body… And in a mere instant Mash had pulled her back and had his hand extended forward, receiving a massive blast of lighting directly into his rubber glove, pushing him back as his glove burned, smoke coming out of his hand
"Not even the rubber glove was enough…" Mash looked at his hand
"W-what was that!?" Bisca widened her eyes
"Body link magic!?" Cana yelled out
"You're right!" Levy said "Those lacryma are enchanted with body link magic. Any attack on them will be reflected on us with a great amount of power. Destroying all of those is basically an impossible task!"
"I'll-" Erza began but
"I'll deal with it." Mash interrupted, cracking his knuckles
"Mash, dealing with the entire Thunder Palace is too much, even for you. You could actually end up dying." Erza told him
"The same goes to you." Mash argued "All of my friends are out there risking themselves to save the guild and the town from Laxus, I think it would be rather selfish of me to not do the same. And besides, I have an idea on how to deal with this."
Mash looked at the lacryma in the sky, maybe, just maybe, he had the answer on how to beat that
"...Are you sure?" Erza asked
"Yes." Mash nodded
"Very well." Erza sighed and gave Mash a small pat "Stay safe."
And so she began to walk off, jumping off the balcony and into the streets of Magnolia
"Erza, where are-" Lucy tried to speak up
"At this point our only option is to go deal with Laxus directly! If he has gone this far who knows what else he has planned for us! I refuse to just stand around as this unfolds, I'll go and fight!" Erza said with a stern look before running off
"I agree! If Laxus wanted a fight he got one!" Cana said running out of the guild
"I'll go too!" Bisca ran off too
"I'll try and evacuate as many civilians as possible!" Lucy yelled
Mira was inside the guild taking care of the master, before Meliadoul came right beside her and kneeled down, checking on him
"You should go too." The blonde said
"W-what? But I must-"
"I'll take care of him. I'm actually a trained medical professional." Meliadoul told her with a smile "Besides, your brother is out there fighting. I'm pretty sure he would need his big sisters' help considering the people he's up against."
"Y-you're right… Elfman could get seriously hurt if he goes against the Thunder Legion!" Mira widened her eyes in realization "Please, save the Master!"
Mira asked her before she ran off into the streets along with the rest of the girls, with Meliadoul giving her a smile as she watched her run off
—
Back with Laxus, he was laughing at his new decision
"Hahaha! What do you think of that, old man!? Now I have the entire town as hostages!" Laxus laughed
"Are you really going this far…?" Freed asked
"This far?" Laxus repeated while looking at him "I decided how far is too far! This battle is not done until one side is completely obliterated!"
"...Laxus, what happened to you?" Freed thought while some cold sweat ran down the side of his face
"The hell are you still here for? Bickslow is still out there hunting those weaklings down, and the help is out there too." Laxus told Freed, the mention of help confusing the green haired mage "I bet the old man is resting his hopes on Erza and Mash, I'll take those two on myself. You go and take down Cana and the phantom girl, I don't need them in my new Fairy Tail. Kill them if you wish, I don't care."
"K-Kill them!? I know we are in a middle of a serious conflict but they are still our-"
"DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID!? SHUT UP AND DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!" Laxus screamed, the purple aura around him flashing up
Freed took a step back, his hands trembling slightly before he closed his eyes and sighed, calming himself down
"Now that I've come this far I can't turn back. I shall accompany you through this path you've chosen, even if it leads to hell." Freed turned around and walked away "I shall accomplish this mission. I'll from now on be fighting with the intent to kill, no use getting cold feet at this point."
And so Freed teleported away from there, making Laxus chuckle
"Very good Freed. Show them what you're made of."
—
"Damn that asshole!" Natsu screamed as he jumped off Fairy Tail's balcony, trying to go to the streets but hitting the barrier again
"Natsu!" Levy yelled
"You are going too far now! If you really want to be guildmaster this much then come out here and fight for it like a man!" Natsu screamed as if trying to make the lighting mage hear him "Give it up already, Laxus!"
Natsu pushed against the barrier, punching it as if trying to break it
"Natsu, calm down!" Levy yelled
"Like hell I will!" Natsu screamed back at her "Damn this stupid barrier!"
"It's a Jutsu Shiki, right?" Levy said, a small smile on her face "It's a form of word magic, I may be able to do something about it!"
That got the attention of Gajeel, Natsu and Mash, making them walk up to her in surprise
"Really, Levy!?"
"Y-yeah! You're all a little too close though!"
—
Erza ran off into the town, requipping into her regular armor as she scoured the streets looking for Laxus
"Where could he be?" Erza frowned
And her frown got much bigger when she turned her head and saw dark mages causing chaos around the town, making some veins pop out of her forehead
"Even putting dark mages into this!? Have you gone fully mad, Laxus!?" Erza grit her teeth, requipping two swords into her hands
"Look! It's one of the members of Fairy Tail! Get her!" One of the dark mages yelled
And then Erza ran through them all, slashing at them and knocking them down like flies, her anger being impossible to grasp after so much that has happened
—
With Dot, he was walking through the streets of Magnolia as well, and he was carrying Love with him, with the girl using his shoulder as a way to stabilize herself so she could walk even with her injured leg
"I know you got depetrified and all of that, but don't you think you're too injured to continue fighting? You should probably rest." Dot said, looking a little worried "I mean, not that I mind having a cute girl being so close to me!"
"No way! I ain't gonna give that hag the satisfaction of feeling like she took me out of the game! And don't underestimate me! You should know since we fought before, but I don't give up easily!" Love told him
"Actually our fight showed quite the opposite…" Dot sweatdropped
The two continued walking, but Dot could swear he was hearing a third set of steps approaching them from somewhere
"Is the place that hag told us Laxus was close?" Love asked
"Must be." Dot said
"Oh, really now?" A third voice asked
The two widened their eyes in shock before turning around, and having various water spears stab through them, making the two scream in pain as they flew back, cashing right through a house and passing out completely on another street
"I seem to remember the hideout being somewhere else, didn't know they had changed it." The one responsible for this attack had been Domina, who laughed before turning around and walking away, looking for a certain someone
—
With Lucy, she was running through the streets of the middle of town, moving her arms to the side to signalize where people should go
"Everyone, this way! The situation got incredibly dangerous! There are even dark mages in town! Everyone evacuate!" Lucy yelled as the civilians ran off "Thanks to the festival there's a lot of people in town! And I can't use the speaker on the guild since there's a Jutsu Shiki there that says that only the master can use it! Dammit! Could this situation get any worse!?"
"Lucy, get back!" Finn's voice was heard
Lucy widened her eyes and jump back, seeing the healer mage falling right beside her, having some scratches around his body as the people now ran away screaming
"Finn!? What happened!?" Lucy asked
"Stop right there evildoers!" A loud voice was heard from above
A weird person fell right in front of the two, making them jump back to gain some distance, they felt the ground shake causing them to lose their balance slightly, and in front of them there was a guy with green spiky hair, a somewhat muscular body and wearing what could be described as a handmade superhero costume, with a cape and everything
"Who's that!?" Lucy asked
"I don't know, he just appeared out of nowhere and started chasing me while screaming 'stop running, villain'!" Finn told her
"So you finally decided to stop fleeing after finding your partner in crime! But don't think that's going to deter me! A true hero always wins against villains, no matter how many of them there are!" The weird person said rather loudly
Finn and Lucy just stared at him really confused
"What's your name?" Lucy asked
"Oh, I'm Zeke Hiro. Pleasure to meet you!" He said normally
"What's with this guy?" Finn sweatdropped
"Well, look, there seems to be a misunderstanding here, we aren't actually-"
"WATCH OUT!" Finn yelled and jumped on Lucy, pushing her down
And with that they managed to barely dodge a punch from that weirdo, who ended up hitting a house, causing it to vibrate wildly and have its walls crack. The two rolled on the ground before stopping and getting on their knees, widening their eyes in shock at what he did
"If that had hit me…" Lucy's face went white as a paper
"Not even introducing yourselves back, you two really are villains!" Zeke yelled, getting into a fighting position as his cape flew back "I'll show you how true heroes deal with villains!"
"He is strong and he is fast… I think I have a spirit that can deal with this!" Lucy said as she grabbed one of her keys and pointed it forward "Open the gate of the maiden! Virgo!"
And so the pink haired maid was summoned, doing a slight bow to Lucy
"Hello, princess. Is it time for my punishment?" Virgo asked
"No, it isn't." Lucy deadpanned "We are in the middle of a fight! Get that guy in the weird hero outfit!"
"Only villains insult a hero's costume!" Zeke yelled
"As you wish." Virgo nodded and turned to the hero
Virgo then stepped on the ground, causing a eruption of stone to rise up and knock Zeke up, she then jumped up at him and punched him down, knocking him into the ground and causing a small crater to form where he landed
"Wow! Nice going!" Finn said before deciding to help out too, pointing his hand forward and having a small yellow magic circle appear "Strong Lightning!"
A lightning bolt went towards Zeke, but he managed to jump out of the crater and dodge the attack, trying to fight back against Virgo who moved her arm to the side, extending one of her chains to try and hit him, only for him to grab the chains and yank her close, making the pink haired maid widen her eyes before she gets punched in the stomach
"Super Hero Smashing Punch!" Zeke yelled
Virgo felt vibrations going around her entire body, making her widen her eyes and be blasted back, hitting the ground and bouncing up before hitting a wall, grunting in pain before she fell on the ground
"Virgo!" Lucy yelled
"S-sorry Princess…" Virgo said before she disappeared back to the spirit world
"Imprisoning a poor girl and forcing her to fight for you, that's truly villainous behavior!" Zeke yelled while landing and pointing at them
"That's just not true!" Lucy yelled
"Then why was she chained up!"
"She's just kinky!" Finn yelled before Lucy pulled his arm to help him dodge a kick from Zeke
"So she is even used for inappropriate deeds!? Truly villainous!" Zeke yelled
"You got it all wrong!" Finn and Lucy yelled at the same time as they ran away
The two mages kept on running as Zeke chased after them, with him quickly getting closer
"How is he so fast! Open the gate of the archer! Sagittarius!" Lucy yelled, summoning another spirit
This one was a very serious man with a horse costume, with the horse head going way above his actual hat, he also wore a green suit and had a bow and arrow on his hand
"Hello hello, I'm here!" Sagittarius said
"Shoot him!" Lucy screamed while pointing at Zeke
"Strong Fire!" Finn yelled as he blasted a fireball at Zeke
"Hello hello, as you wish!" Sagittarius pointed his bow and arrow at him and shot various golden arrows at him
But those things didn't stop Zeke, he punched the arrows and fireball away with his fists, making the two gape in shock
"How!?" Lucy yelled shocked
"Changeas!" Finn pulled out his wand
And so the three changed places with some roof tiles, now running in the roofs of the buildings to try and get him away from them, and also to dodge the dark mages in the streets
"Why did we have to get a fight with someone on that level!?" Finn yelled in fear
"Hey, at least it isn't one of the members of the Thunder Legion!" Lucy tried to look at bright side
"You can't run from me!" but Zeke just jumped at them, making the two mages scream in terror
"Hello hello, I think we can!" Sagittarius said as his arrows caught ablaze and he shot them at him
Only for Zeke to grab the arrow and spin around, kicking Sagittarius and sending shockwaves all around his body, making him fly away in pain and disappear back into the spirit world
"Range doesn't work and neither does close quarters combat!" Lucy was shocked
"Oh crap! Here he comes!" Finn yelled before he grabbed Lucy and pushed him down making them dodge a drop kick from Zeke
"Dammit!" Lucy yelped
"Now, you can't run away anymore! Prepare to face defeat!" Zeke said as he pointed at them, and then having his fists start to tremble with vibrations "Super Hero Smashing Fist Double Strike!"
"So long…" they both said as they had already bailed out of there, running at the opposite direction
But then Zeke simply charged at them so fast it was like he had teleported at them, the two turned slightly at him with wide eyes, they couldn't dodge that, it was over… And so a massive dust cloud erupted up when the attack hit, but Lucy and Finn were nowhere to be seen
"What the? Villain teleportation!?" Zeke yelled as he looked around, finally finding them three buildings away on another building
Someone had grabbed them both and took them to safety, with Finn being dropped down while Lucy still remained on the person's arms
"Ow! Why only I was dropped?" Finn asked confused
"Well, would you look at that? It seems I alone have the power to pass through the gate whether you call me or not. Wonder why." The person said, a golden glow emanating from him "I guess that even the barrier between the spirit world and the human world crumbles at the power of our love."
"L-love!?" Lucy blushed at that, before smiling a little "What are you talking about you idiot?"
Finn felt a little weird after hearing all of that, but he didn't have time for this right now, and it's not like it mattered, it all actually made too much sense. Lucy was let down gently while Finn got up, with them both smiling slightly as the newcomer cracked his knuckles
"Suit, dramatic entrance, spiky hair, and even having someone call the prospect of love something an idiot would say… There's no mistaking it!" Zeke said as he got ready to fight, his cape flying along the wind "You're a villain executive!"
"Nah, I'm just someone who has a promise to fulfill."
"Go get him, Loke!" Lucy cheered at the lion spirit got ready
"We're counting on you!" Finn cheered also
—
At another part of the city, Bickslow was terrorizing some remaining mages around, laughing while his babies destroyed them
"Hahaha! Run you weaklings! No guildmate of mine is that pathetic!" Bickslow laughed
He was having his fun, but it didn't last long because a bulky wooden puppet jumped at him rather quick, but he managed to jump to the side, dodging a punch of the puppet and laugh slightly
"And so he makes his appearance! Was wondering if ya had been taken out already, but I'm glad ya didn't, been wanting to see which one of us has the better babies!" Bickslow laughed as his puppets circled him
"Hmph." And the one he was talking about was Abel, who had just walked out of an alley way with three other puppets with him, wand in hand and his small puppet in other "You think this is some kind of game?"
"Oh, but it is! And quite a fun one! And I'll teach ya how you play mister all serious!" Bickslow said before he pointed his fingers at him "Line Formation!"
The small puppets got one on top of the other and blasted a wind blade at him, which Abel simply jumped to the side to dodge, his bulky puppet from before charging at Bickslow who weaved every single punch before one of his puppets blasted it into pieces with a wind beam
"Oh wow! And here I thought it would be more of a fight!" Bickslow laughed
But then five beams of lightning were blasted at Bickslow's puppets, exploding them into pieces with ease
"What the!?" Bickslow widened his eyes in shock, Milo didn't say anything about Abel having lightning magic
"I've managed to infuse my puppets with magic Lacrymas, this one for example has a lightning one, allowing it to use lightning attacks. It seems you didn't expect that, it's over." Abel said as he ordered two other puppets to attack
"Noooo! My babies!" Bickslow grabbed his head in a dramatically defeated way before smiling and sticking his tongue out "Just kidding!"
Five toys from around the place came flying into the puppets, destroying them easily as they began to giggle
"What?" Abel widened his eyes slightly
"Destroy their bodies as much as ya like, I'll just put their souls into other ones and keep on fighting!" Bickslow laughed as his babies lifted him away to the top of a building
"So he can manipulate souls and put them into puppets." Abel frowned slightly before having his remaining puppet pull him up and take him on top of another building
"Don't be mad, can't help it if my puppet magic is just so much better than yours!" Bickslow laughed
"Better! Better! Better!" The dolls singed and giggled
Abel pointed his wand forward and then frowned slightly
"Then let's take this up a notch." Abel said as his power went up "Marioness Secondth: Harm Puppet."
And so the giant monster puppet was summoned from a portal of darkness, it roaring at Bickslow who laughed and had his babies blast wind at the strings that came at him
"Yeah, nice try idiot! Your little puppet transforming trick ain't gonna work if I already know about it!" Bickslow laughed
Abel's expression didn't change, he got on top of his Secondth along with his remaining puppet, the Secondth roared at Bickslow, who had his babies move to his front to get ready to fight
"Mother, let's give this our all." Abel said to his small puppet
And so the massive puppet charged at Bickslow, who crossed his arms in a V form
"Victory Formation!"
The five dolls formed a V and blasted a massive wind current at Abel, who moved his wand forward, making his puppet move it's hand up and created a barrier of lighting to block the winds. The Secondth then tried to slam Bickslow with one of its hands, but the puppet mage of the Thunder Legion cackled and jump over the hand, making one of the dolls turn around and blast wind at the hand, blowing it back
"And this is supposed to be your most powerful spell!? Must be pretty useless if ya keep spamming it!" Bickslow cackled even more
But right then he widened his eyes behind his helmet, the massive puppet having appeared in front of him to go for a tackle, various blades erupting from the front of it, but Bickslow quickly move his arms in the form of an X
"X Formation!" Bickslow yelled
The dolls then appeared and formed an X to try and block the attack, only for them to be immediately destroyed by the power of the puppet, but Bickslow managed to fall down enough to dodge the attack thanks to that small diversion, he flipped back up and smiled at the situation
"Don't underestimate me." Abel glared at him
"Yeah, ya right! Guess I better run away then since you're so strong!" Bickslow laughed as he jumped through the buildings
Abel's Secondth roared as it began to follow him, sprouting wheels from its sides as it followed Bickslow at high speeds. The puppet mage of the Thunder Legion calling his babies, now their souls inside other dolls, to give him a boost in speed, carrying him up and flying forward as the chase continued
"Quit running." Abel said as his puppet blasted more lightning at him
Bickslow moved down, dodging the blast and sticking his tongue out at him
"Missed me!" He cackled
But that little time to boast was the perfect moment, allowing Abel's Secondth to land a slap on him, sending him tumbling down through the roofs, the mage grunting in pain as he crashed down, the small dolls coming to his aid worried if he was okay
"I'm fine!" Bickslow said, getting up and shaking his head "Alright, enough playing. Babies, Baryon Formation!"
The dolls then moved into a the form of a pentagon, starting to spin around as the giant puppet moved closer, the dolls spun around faster and faster until they began to glow white, blasting a gigantic beam of wind at the giant puppet, being too fast for Abel to react as it completely destroyed his Secondth, making him fall down and grunt in pain as Bickslow laughed
"Hahaha! Not so mighty without your big ugly thing, are ya!?" Bickslow laughed
Abel frowned, getting up slowly
"From what I got in this small scuffle until now, his puppets are his main attack power, he himself is not that strong considering the damage he took from one hit. If I can manage to get to him I can win this." Abel thought
"Line Formation!"
The dolls then got into a line and blasted a wind slash at Abel, who got saved by his puppet who grabbed him and jumped to the side, the puppet then blasted lightning at the dolls, who dodged it, only for one of them to be grabbed by various strings
"And ya even got string magic! Really playing into the marionette theme here, huh?" Bickslow mocked
Only for Abel to not respond and to simply pull his hand back, the string around the doll slashing it into pieces as the lighting puppet tried to attack again
"Wow there! Trigger happy much? Be careful not to upset your little mommy there!" Bickslow laughed
And then Abel widened his eyes in horror, looking down and seeing his small puppet crack it's head up at him, blasting a wind beam at him and hitting the marionette mage square in the face, sending him flying up with some blood coming out of his mouth
"Hahahahaha! Oops!" Bickslow cackled, the new puppet coming close to him, with him inspecting it and finding the appearance of it kinda weird
"M-mother…" Abel had his eyes shot wide, even his puppet had stopped moving
Bickslow had stopped laughing now, looking at Abel who looked absolutely traumatized, this shit was actually starting to creep him out
"H-hey, are you alright? Come on, I didn't hit ya that hard!" Bickslow said
Abel was not alright, his mind was racing at inhuman speeds as all of the memories of his mother came flooding back into his brains, his body moving on his own, getting up and gripping his wand, his puppet starting to twitch wildly as even the small one Bickslow had taken control off began to twitch
"What the hell!?" Bickslow was actually scared now
Abel's eyes then got their life back, with his face actually showing emotion this time, this one being of nothing but pure unadulterated hatred, with him raising his wand up slightly as black lightning shot out of it
"I Summon…" Abel said, his wand changing forms as a massive surge in magic power came out of his body, the third line on his face cracking, becoming an actual real one instead of an artificial one, the black lighting crashing against the building he was standing in and cracking it completely "Yaldabaoth, The God of Control!"
His wand finished it's transformation, becoming a long staff with two marionette control sticks at the tip, forming an X with various strings coming out of it, the entire thing having a purplish color with brown highlights, with Abel taking a step forward and cracking all of the nearby building just with the pressure of his power
"What the!? A Summon!? Are you fucking with me!?" Bickslow widened his eyes in shock
The small puppet suddenly slammed against Bickslow, making him take a step to the side as it flew back to Abel
"The hell!?" Bickslow looked around and saw five dolls again around him
"Wasn't me!" The dolls said
Bickslow was incredibly confused now, Abel gave the small puppet to his lightning puppet for it to take care of, while he pointed his new staff at Bickslow
"You're done. You shall pay for what you and your companions have done." Abel sounded incredibly angry
Bickslow flinched slightly before smiling again, getting ready to continue the fight
"Oh, how scary! Let's see if ya can put your money where your mouth is!" Bickslow laughed
"Quit acting like this is a game, you sick bastard!" Abel uncharacteristically yelled "Don't you see that innocent people are in danger!? That you are hurting those you once called friends!? You even went as far as to use my mother against me! Take this actually seriously and think for a moment!"
Bickslow stopped smiling, his eyes looking up and seeing the Thunder Palace active, he didn't want to show it but he actually didn't want to do any of this. This had gone too far, the dark mages, the Thunder Palace, it was all going to hurt the people around him… But he couldn't just let Laxus down like that… Not after everything
—
Bickslow had lost his parents at a very young age, ending up being sent to an orphanage and growing up there for a very long time, but he didn't seem sad there, he actually enjoyed that place, he even had many friends that followed him around and played with him, life was great! …Until that day.
"Children! Run!" One of the caretakers screamed before a sword stabbed through their chest
"Don't let them get away! Grab as many as you can!" A member of the Cult of Zeref yelled
The Cult of Zeref had invaded the orphanage and began to kidnap the children to force them to work as slaves, Bickslow and his friends were trying to get away from there, they weren't going to be taken away like that! But destiny had other plans for them. One of the mages of the cult blasted a fireball at the building, making a massive piece of it fall down and hit Bickslow's five friends, making them incapable of running away
"Guys!" Bickslow screamed
His five friends told him to run off, to go and live, but he couldn't just let them there, and that was when his magic was awaken, his eyes glowed as the souls of his friends were removed from their bodies and put inside of five puppets, puppets that they had made together, Bickslow didn't have much time to think about what had happened thanks to the attack of the cult, so he grabbed the five puppets and ran away, managing to escape but only barely
—
Bickslow had been kicked out from another guild, sighing annoyed as he walked away with his five puppets floating right behind him. It was always like this, he never managed to stay in a guild for much longer because people would see that he uses dark magic and start to treat him like a bastard. But he didn't care about what they thought, he did what he did to save his friends, he ain't going to be ashamed of that!
"Sorry there, babies. But it seems we aren't going to be able to eat today." Bickslow sighed, he barely had any jewels for rent now after so much guild hopping
"It's okay! Okay! Okay!" The puppets said while flying around him
He smiled when he heard that, at least he'd always have his friends with him until the end, but then he see someone walking up to his side, a blonde person with headphones on his neck
"Hey, you just got kicked from that guild, didn't ya?" the boy asked
"Yeah."
"Why though?"
"Because of my magic. It's Human Possession magic, it picks the souls of humans and puts them in inanimate objects." Bickslow was ready for the shaming to come
"For real? That's crazy. Are the people in the puppets okay with it?" The boy asked
"Uh, yeah, they are. They're my friends that were going to die if I didn't do it." Bickslow said
"Then what's the issue with it?"
Bickslow then stopped walking, the boy doing the same a little later, the puppet mage seemed dumbfounded at that response
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"B-but, it's dark magic!"
"So?"
Bickslow widened his eyes in shock, that was actually happening right now… Someone didn't immediately hate him thanks to his magic
"I think it's dumb to judge someone based on their magic alone. You don't seem like a bad person to me, so I don't really get why people get mad at ya over your magic."
Bickslow blinked and stared at the boy, he was feeling too many emotions to properly express what the hell was going on in his brain at the moment
"Ya want to join a guild?" the boy asked
"Y-yeah…"
"Alright, come with me. I'll show ya one. You can join my team then." The boy moved his head, signaling to Bickslow to follow him
Bickslow blinked before shaking his head, looking at his puppets who seemed very excited at the situation, he smiled and then ran after the blonde boy
"I'm Bickslow, what's your name?"
"I'm Laxus. Nice to meet ya."
—
Bickslow snapped his fingers and made his puppets form a V again
"Victory Formation."
And so they blasted a wind beam at Abel, who pointed his wand forward and transforming the strings into a shield
"Marioness Platinum Shield."
The blast was easily blocked, with Bickslow removing his helmet and throwing it to the side, making Abel raise his eyebrows for a moment before closing his eyes
"Your eye magic." Abel said
"Yeah, better close your eyes. If you make eye contact with me I'll take your soul! The strongest magic combo ever!" Bickslow yelled, making his puppets go into the pentagon position again "Go again! Baryon Formation!"
Bickslow yelled, the dolls spinning again and blasting the powerful beam once again, in which Abel was forced to block again, being pushed back thanks to how powerful that attack was, but he was not going to just lose to that
"Marioness Platinum Drill!" Abel yelled, the shield of strings transforming into a drill "Marioness Soul Taker!"
And suddenly various liked attached themselves to the dolls, pulling the souls out of them and making Bickslow widen his eyes in shock
"No!" Bickslow screamed
Abel then charged at them, their eyes still closed, and tried to hit him with the drill, but Bickslow blocked the attack with his hands, the drill stabbing through them, but Bickslow wasn't deterred yet, he kicked Abel in the gut and used his magic to try and overpower Abel's spell, only for his cheek to be slashed by the drill
"Back off already!" Bickslow punched Abel in the face
Making the marionette mage responde by hitting him in the stomach with the under part of his lance, Bickslow grunted in pain before slamming both of his arms on Abel's back, sending him to the ground and managing to overpower Abel's spell with his magic, putting the souls back in the dolls and making them spin again
"I'm ending this now! Baryon Formation!" Bickslow yelled
And do the puppets blasted Abel with their wind beam, making Abel lift his staff up and try to pierce through the beam, that pushed him down
"Give up already you bastard! Laxus will come out victorious in all of this, and there ain't a single thing ya can do about it!" Bickslow screamed at him
Abel grit his teeth trying his best to keep up with that attack, only for an idea to come up in his head
"Marioness Change!"
Bickslow widened his eyes as he felt the strings attaching themselves to him, he made the puppets stop attacking to free him from the strings, managing to do so rather quick, only for Abel's lightning puppet to tackle him and grab him, sending him down to where Abel was
"Shit!" Bickslow cursed his situation
Abel then pointed his staff up, the strings grabbing stuff around him, fusing into a massive puppet hand
"Marioness Harm Puppet Arm!"
"Baryon Formation!"
Bickslow attempted one more time for to attack, trying to stop that attack, only for the dolls to be hit before they could launch their attack, being sent down along with Bickslow, being crushed in the ground by the giant hand, falling defeated
"D-damn it…" Bickslow cursed
Abel's Summon undid itself, with the marionette mage sighing before he sat on the ground, panting exhausted
"What? Aren't you gonna run off to help your friends fight?" Bickslow asked looking at him
"No. I can't do that. The summon used up all of my magic. It's impossible for me to continue." Abel said, not even being able to lift up his wand
"Huh… Who'd have thought." Bickslow said with a small laugh
The two then stood there in silence, not really knowing what to say anymore after the fight
"Hey. Sorry for what I did with your puppet back then. It was really fucked up." Bickslow said making Abel raise an eyebrow "It's just that, Laxus did a lot for me and I didn't want to let him down, so I just did what I thought was necessary."
"I see." Abel said
"And now that we are this far into stuff, dark mages all around, the Thunder Palace activated, this all really just went to shit." Bickslow sighed, disappointed in himself for letting stuff get this far
"You know, I have someone who is incredibly loyal to me. And I'm pretty sure they'd to the same thing you guys are doing if it was for my sake. However…" Abel said before glancing at Bickslow "If I was not acting like myself and actually went through doing all of this stuff, I'd want him to come snap me out of it."
Bickslow let out a laugh, maybe these guys weren't all that bad at the end of the day
"Yeah, maybe you're right… Maybe that's what Laxus needs… I just hope there's someone around who can."
—
Back at another part of the city, Loke was about to enter combat
"Lucy, Finn, stand back. I'll deal with this." Loke said
"No way! I'm fighting along with you! Celestial spirits aren't shields! They are companions!" Lucy said, pulling out her whip and hitting the ground
"Yeah, and I'm not going to let my friends fight alone anymore! I can help them now!" Finn said, pulling his wand out and spinning it in his hands before pointing it up, his second line appearing on his face "Changes Secondth: Butterfly Sanitatem!"
The divine butterfly entity was summoned, creating its butterflies that landed on their shoulders and healed all of their wounds, and also, shared some of Finn's magical power with them, giving them a power up
"Hmph. Nice." Loke smiled at them, a small blush appearing when he looked at Lucy, who nodded back also blushing
"You two look like a couple…" Finn said
"We aren't!" Lucy yelled, and for some reason she felt a tone of sadness on Finn's voice
"I don't really understand the situation, but I'll be sure to show you villains how a true hero does this!" Zeke yelled while pointing at Loke
"Me personally I don't really care about any of this, the battle or your hero thing. But I'm afraid that hurting my master, Lucy, is the one thing I can't forgive." Loke said with a shadow appearing on his face, with him grabbing his bicep and pointing his fist up "O Regulus, grant me your strength!"
Loke then charged at Zeke at the speed of light, making him widen his eyes in shock before he got hit in the face with a light punch, sending him flying back, before Loke appeared behind him and kicked him back to where he was before with a light magic infused kick
"Woow!" Lucy was amazed
"He's like a lion made of light!" Finn was shocked
Lucy then shook her head and went on the offensive as well, with Finn backing her up by pointing his hand forward, his Secondth giving him enough strength for stronger spells
"Thunder Force!"
Finn masted a massive wave of lighting towards Zeke who widened his eyes and punched the air, causing to vibrate and create a barrier that protected him from the attack, which gave Lucy an opening to come from the side to hit him with her whip, which he blocked with his arm and tried to counter attack with a kick, only for Loke to appear in front of him and grab his foot
"Sorry, but while I'm here you aren't touching her." Loke said
"W-why does a villain sound so much like a hero!?" Zeke was in shock
Loke then used his free hand to blast a light beam right into Zeke's stomach, sending him flying away, with Finn pointing his hand at him and a big red magic circle appearing
"Blaze Cannon!"
Finn then blasted a massive fireball at Zeke, making him widen his eyes and put his arms in the form of an X to block, a massive explosion happening after the hit, a massive amount of smoke being in the sky as they looked up to make sure he was falling. And that he did, only dmat their direction, trying to punch Loke, who blocked the attack but this time felt the vibrations going through his body, making him grunt in pain as he was pushed back
"Did he get stronger!?" Loke thought confused
"Lucy Kick!" Lucy yelled and drop kicked Zeke on the side of the head, making him get away from Loke
Loke felt his injuries being healed by Finn's Secondth, but this was a problem, if he got this right than that guy get stronger with every hit he takes, so they needed to end this quick
"Lucy, Finn, I have an idea on how to win this fight, but you two will have to trust me, okay?" Loke looked at them
"Alright!" Lucy nodded
"O-okay." Finn nodded too
"Good, when I say so, you two close your eyes." Loke said, making the two mages look at him confused but then nod "Also, if things get tough I'll leave so you can call on Horologium for extra protection, Lucy."
"But if you do that we won't be able to beat him, and besides, I'm putting my trust in you here, so don't throw it away!" Lucy said making Loke smile
And so Loke blocked another punch from Zeke, grunting in pain before hitting his stomach with his knee
"Super Hero Crushing Headbutt!" Zeke yelled before he headbutted Loke
A massive shockwave of vibrations hit Loke, making him scream in pain and be blown back, only for Lucy to try and hit him with a kick, that he blocked, but Finn then blasted him with lighting, making him let go of her, but he then hit a palm strike into her stomach, making her yelp in pain and fall on her back
"Lucy!" Finn yelled
"I'm fine!" Lucy said, rolling back and getting back up
"Now!" Loke screamed
Zeke had just charged at Lucy for another attack but then the girl gulped and moved down, closing her eyes, that made him hesitate for a moment, he couldn't just hit a cowering girl like that, it wasn't heroic at all. Finn also closed his eyes after the warning, and so Loke's plan for into action
"Zenith of Regulus!" Loke screamed, getting into his stance once again and starting to glow "Lion Brilliance!"
And so a massive amount of light exploded from Loke's body, blinding Zeke and making him cover his eyes
"Aah! I've been blinded by my confusion!" Zeke screamed
"Now, attack!" Loke screamed
Lucy and Finn then opened their eyes, Finn pointed his hand forward and then formed into a fist, punching it down
"Fist of Fate!"
A giant stone fist formed above Zeke, hitting him down and making him bounce up at on the building, Lucy then wrapped her whip around his body and began to spin him around, slamming him across the ground with all the strength she had
"Loke!" Lucy yelled and then threw him away
"Right!" Loke jumped, his fist being covered in light "Ever since I met Lucy I recovered my power as a celestial spirit. No, meeting Lucy is what made me get this strong! We aren't villains like you say we are! We are mages that fight with the power of love!"
Loke screamed making Zeke's eyes widen with realization, before Loke punched him in the stomach, the giant image of a golden lion devouring his body appearing as the attack hit
"Regulus Impact!" Loke screamed as the attack blasted Zeke away with a massive explosion of light
Loke then landed on the ground, putting a hand in front of his face as he pointed his hand to the side
"Alright!" Finn cheered "We won!"
"Thank you, Loke." Lucy smiled at the lion spirit
"And now, Lucy, see the light of love." Loke smirked as he emitted a light from his hand, it formed the sentence 'I love Lucy!'
"Uh…" Lucy didn't know how to react to that
Finn simply nodded at that, he never stood a chance to begin with so it was better to just let her have the better man. His Secondth disappeared as they sighed in celebration of their victory… Only for Zeke to step up back near them, shocking them
"What!?" Finn screamed terrified
"He's still up!" Lucy was also terrified
"But that was my strongest attack! What is he made of!?" Loke grit his teeth in shock
"I can't believe it…" Zeke said before falling to his knees "That I'm the villain in this situation…"
"...What?" The three said in unison
"How could I have been so foolish… Someone who fights with the power of love could never be a villain!" Zeke cursed his own stupidity
"Dude, how did you think you were the hero? You were trying to destroy the city!" Loke said
"I thought it was your villainous hideout!" Zeke yelled
"He's an idiot." the three thought
"How can I apologize for this mistake!? I'll do anything!" Zeke begged them for forgiveness
Finn and Lucy looked at each other, smiling as they had an idea
"Well, since it's like that, how about you help the true heroes of this situation save the day, huh?" Lucy smiled while putting her hands on her hips
"Yes, that shall work! I'll get my revenge on those villains who tricked me!" Zeke screamed as he jumped off the building and ran of heroically
"That was… weird." Finn sweatdropped
"Well, at least he wasn't a bad guy, just kinda stupid." Lucy shrugged before she felt her legs give in before she fell down, with Finn holding her so she didn't fell, although almost falling with her since he wasn't that strong "M-my body…"
"I-I guess you used too much magic by calling three Zodiac Keys…" Finn said, struggling
Loke came up to her and patted Lucy's head, smiling at the girl
"Don't worry, I'll always be with you whenever you need me." Loke said
"Y-yeah, thanks…" Lucy smiled
And so Loke went back to the spirit world to not make Lucy waste anymore magic
—
Back at the guild, Levy was working without stop trying to figure out how to rework the Jutsu Shiki, having a special pair of magic glasses to help her and having her hair tied back so to not get in the way of her reading, with Gajeel being kneeled down right beside her
"Hmm… Okay, so I gotta break down the rogue characters' arrangement into basic character material, identify the base characters used in the construction of it… They are L, O, S, U… Now, if we map those onto a basic guile grammar…" Levy mumbled as she worked
Gajeel was actually enjoying just watching her work like that, it was… kinda cute.
"You're amazing, you know? I can't understand anything you're saying but you just go at it so naturally…" Gajeel said
"No! The position of the L and S are bluffs! The real code is 'ALS'!" Levy yelled and snapped her fingers in realization
"I-I see…" Gajeel said as he kept on watching her work, with Levy moving a strand of her behind her ear
"Don't worry, I'll get you guys out of here." Levy said
"It's not like I really…"
"Please. You three need to stop Laxus." Levy said, staring at Gajeel who gulped and nodded
"Alright."
Natsu had his head pressed against the barrier around the guild, grunting angrily
"You should stop that." Mash said "You're going to end up hurting yourself."
And then the fight report appeared again, but this time with some good news
Abel vs Bickslow. Winner: Abel
Lucy and Finn vs Zeke. Winner: Lucy and Finn
"Who is Zeke?" Mash blinked confused
"Are you kidding me!? The bunnygirl can actually fight!?" Gajeel said shocked
"I mean, Lucy is pretty strong." Natsu said like it was obvious
"That's true." Mash nodded
"Damn, first butterfly boy and now her…" Gajeel scratched the back of his head
"And another one of the Thunder Legion goes down. Good job, Abel." Mash crossed his arms
"One more left." Natsu said
"That's Lucy and Finn for ya! If my friends are doing it like that I have to give it my all here." Levy said as she began to work overtime "If I can just solve this part here…"
"By the way, if Lucy is a bunnygirl why are you surprised she's strong? Bunnies are strong!" Natsu yelled
"Now that's a new one!" Gajeel laughed
"And then I can go and rewrite the enchantment…" Levy mumbled
"It's true though. Haven't you heard about the story of the tortoise and the hare?" Mash said
"Yeah, and the hare lost!" Gajeel said
"Oh yeah." Mash blinked
"But that would be the hardest part…"
"But it was only the first time! They had a hundred more races and the hare won them all!" Natsu crossed his arms and nodded
"Ah yes, how could I forget." Mash nodded too
"I see… So that was the true moral…" Gajeel nodded along
"That's it! I got it!" Levy yelled making the three look at her "Of course! I just have to go through deciphering the two separate grammars at different rates! If I go through the text mapping the characters with different frequencies onto the guile grammar, and then convert it into rogue…"
The three stared at what Levy was doing in awe, not knowing how to react
"She's really smart." Mash said
"That's Levy for ya." Natsu said
"She's amazing." Gajeel said
"I did it!" Levy yelled as she jumped up
"Aaah!" Gajeel and Natsu widened their eyes
"Awesome." Mash gave her a thumbs up
"You three just wait there, I'm going to rewrite the enchantment!" Levy said as she walked towards the barrier "I hope you guys are ready, it's time for you to join the battle of Fairy Tail!"
Mash, Natsu and Gajeel stood in front of the barrier, ready to go out and beat Laxus once and for all. Gajeel crossed his arms with a smirk, Mash cracked his fingers and Natsu set one of his arms ablaze
"Hell yeah!" Natsu yelled
"Time to go and have some fun!" Gajeel smirked
"Hope Laxus is ready for the beating of his life." Mash said
And so we get another 10K word chapter, holy damn and these were only two fights, this is gonna take a while, but it only means its going to be awesome!
And so Finn met his match for Lucy's love, Loke, a lovable, handsome and loyal spirit that she almost sacrificed her life for, and he already assumed he has no chance against him, so y'know, its fine as long as Lucy's happy, right?
*Finn in the background drowning his sorrows in creampuffs with Mash patting his back*
Mash: it's okay, it's okay.
uh oh...
And Abel unlocked his Summon! Wow! I always planned that the first one from the group to unlock a summon would be Abel, since he already had three lines, although one was artificial, so nice of him to now be an actual triple liner! And we also got Bickslow's backstory here, so that's nice!
And oh man, the boys are ready to join the fight! Shit's about to get real.
Also, say hi to Zeke, he is one of the original characters the person helping me write the fic created for me, hope you liked him!
And we got new 100 Years Quest anime episodes, the city of the water dragon god with out team becoming fish, and the introduction of Kiria! and why is girl such a baddie!? OH MY GOD! And the rest of Diabolos appearing as well, and the introduction of Mercphobia, and he's pretty cool, love his voice and desing, and the fight of the group against Diabolos was awesome, sad that they all got negged and Wendy got rubbed in her face that she's flat once more by Kiria not being able to be buried thanks to her boobs being too nig, only in Fairy Tail you'll see shit like this happening, and Erza getting all submissive showed an awesome concept of the Blade Dragon, cutting down someone's strenght and will. And we got more of the gang at the guild, with their investgation of Touka, with her having water magic that she stole from Mercphobia, the plot thickens! And Touka saying she wants to be burned by Natsu's fire, which I kid you not I had forgotten about when I wrote Tsurara's part of that, I let out the biggest laughter when that came up, those two would hate each other's guts so much because they stole each other's bits. And we had Levy pregnancy reveal, lets go, Gajevy babies! And Jellal appearing to interogate Touka, stiff getting super juicy! I'm really enjoying the anime up until now, its fun, but I bet my enjoynment will immediately die when we get to the Golden Owl arc because I fucking hate that shit. And by the way, the episode that comes out today, sunday, is the return of our girl Brandish! Let's goooooooo!
