Tobias snapped his fingers, creating a colorless magic circle in front of him. "Blade Rush!" As Tobias shouted this, blade made of raw magical energy appeared from the magic circle, shooting down towards Luke and Lucy (Ruika for those who don't remember).
"Spread out!" Luke shouted. Luke jumped to the left, and Lucy jumped to the right, both sliding across the ground a few inches. Luke placed his fist into his palm, immediately throwing his arms forward after. "Ice Make: Thunder Lance!" A yellow and blue magic seal appeared in front of Luke, unleashing ice lances coated in electricity for extra damage, all making their way towards Luke.
"Magic Guard!" Tobias shouted, swiping his hand across the air to create a barrier that protected him front the ice lances. "I learned from my mistake last time, so I've improved my Magic Guard!"
"Yada yada yada…" Luke replied, obviously showing no interest in Tobias' speech.
"Why you little..!" Tobias growled.
"Gate of the Lion, I open thee!" Lucy shouted as she whipped out a golden key, holding it in the air as he began to glow a golden light. "Loke!"
Loke appeared in a bright flash of light, fixing the tie on his suit as he looked at Lucy. He felt something a little off about her, but he shrugged it off as he couldn't quite put his finger on it, now giving a smirk to the celestial mage. "Hello, Lucy. Is there anything I can do for you today?"
(Leo…soon you'll be under my full control…) "Yes!" Lucy shouted, pointing over at Tobias. "Take him down!"
"Oh, this one again?" Loke fixed the cuffs on his suit, now allowing his signature Regulas light to appear around his fists. "Regulas…" Loke started as he dashed forward, his arm pulled back. "IMPACT!" Loke then threw his fist towards Tobias, but he brought his arm up, blocking the attack, though he did slide back somewhat. After this impact, Loke jumped back, revealing an incoming Luke.
"One for free!" Luke shouted as he swung his leg into Tobias' chin, igniting his foot directly after impact to give a sudden increase in momentum. Tobias grunted and stumbled back, rubbing his chin after.
"G-Gah…" Tobias shook his head, glaring at the two. (I thought you said you were going to make this easy?!)
(You have to pull your own weight in this too, you know…and you wonder why you sit at the kiddy table back at Tartaros…not even Sora sits there…) "He doesn't seem to be all that much stronger…" Lucy sighed.
"I think he's been slackin'" Luke replied with a smirk. "That's too bad, because I was just getting warmed up!"
"Getting warmed up, hm? Tobias grinned slightly, snapping his fingers, creating a line of blue magic circles under Lucy and Luke's feet. "How about we cool you down, hm? Aqua Laser!"
"Shit not this again!" Luke shouted, but before he or Lucy could move, the water shot up harshly, sending the two flying into the air a few yards, and dropping back down harshly on their sides, both groaning. "Ugh…"
(…Oh I'm going to enjoy hurting you far more than Kiora and Maggie do now…) Lucy thought to herself.

Kain jumped forward, slamming both of his large palms into the ground, the force so great stalagmite shot up from the impact, but Heather and Cygnus managed to dodge, both barely at that. "This guy isn't how he looks…" Cygnus said after making a decent study of their opponent's movements. "He may look fat and slow…but he's quite fast and rather limber…that's an issue…"
"I may not look like it…" Kain started while entering a sumo-stance. "But I am one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory…I am very strong…"
"7 Kin, eh?" Cygnus smirked slightly, rolling his neck to pop it. "That's cute and all, but this is White Eclipse you're dealing with; the strongest guild in Fiore. You made the mistake of going against us."
"Is that so?" Kain asked, pulling out his Mr. Cursey doll once again. "Material Change, bright light!" As Kain shouted this, the doll began to glow an almost blinding light; since Kain's hair was still in the doll, his body too began to glow. He then rushed towards Cygnus and Heather, extending a palm forward, unleashing powerful blast of light that forced the two back. "Shining Sumo Palm!"
"AHHH!" Cygnus and Heather both shouted as they flew back, hitting the wall of a nearby building. Cygnus, now growing annoyed with this, allowed a white light to appear around his body. "God Trigger!" With his stats now improved, he rushed towards Kain once again, jumping up, creating a purple magic circle in his path. Cygnus swung his leg down, shattering the magic circle, which caused the gravity in his leg to increase tenfold.
"Steel!" Kain shouted, the doll in his hands now turning into steel, causing his body to as well. Kain then threw his palm forward, clashing with Cygnus's leg, however the gravity god had more momentum and power than Kain, so Kain lost that battle, but he didn't fly back because his body was composed of steel. Kain swung his other palm at Cygnus once again, slamming it into Cyg's face, the steel increasing the impact, causing Cygnus to tumble across the ground.
"Poison Dragon's Fang Thrust!" Heather shouted, throwing her arms forward as two snake-like fangs rushed towards Kain.
Kain raised his arm with the doll in it, his movements exactly those of the doll. Kain floated into the air, now a good height into it. He easily evaded the Fang Thrust by doing this, and he tucked the doll into his cape, divebombing towards Heather. "I'll finish you off with this!"
"How…?!" Heather started, wondering how Kain dodged the attack with ease. With little time, she quickly threw her arms up, creating a wall of poison in front of her. "Poison Dragon's Guard!" Heather could only hope the guard was enough to prevent serious injury, and to her surprise, it was, but just barely. Kain crashed through the poison guard, though his steel body prevented any poison from entering his system; the impact caused Heather to let out a yelp of pain, rolling across the ground, quite injured, and her clothing tattered. "D-Dammit…"
"Hey, big guy!" Cyg shouted with his cheeks inflated. "Eat this!" Cygnus threw his head forward, unleashing a Gravity God's Bellow in Kain's direction.
Kain turned around, his body material returning to normal. At the sight of the incoming bellow, Kain pulled his leg back, and threw it forward, hitting the bellow, and actually sending it back towards Cyg. "I'm not hungry!"
"What the hell!?" Cygnus's eyes widened, not expecting Kain to send his bellow back at him. Cygnus crossed his arms, sliding back across the ground after. "What the hell is this guy!?"
"He's dead…that's what he is…" Heather said with an agitated tone. She allowed poison to form around her fist once again, and she broke off into a sprint…towards Cygnus, throwing her poison covered fist at Cygnus, her own eyes widening in surprise. "M-My body…?!"
"W-Whoa!?" Cygnus ducked and weaved, avoiding each one of Heather's poison infused punches. "Heather, what are you doing!? We're on the same side?!" Cygnus shouted.
"This isn't my doing!" Heather replied. "My body is moving on its own!"
In the background, Kain was moving Mr. Cursey in a way that mimicked Heather's movements. On the doll's head, a strand of the vanilla blonde's hair was seen connected to it. "When I attacked her earlier, I stole one of her hairs!"
"You stole my hair!?" Heather shouted in anger as she unwillingly continued her assault on the gravity god.
"This guy is weird…!" Cygnus groaned. Cygnus then jumped to the side, but before he could do so, Heather's body spun, the timing perfect as she slammed her poison coated leg into Cygnus' side, causing Cygnus to stumble a few feet. "And this is gonna be a problem…"

Cynthia flipped back, just narrowly avoiding a large chunk of debris heading her way. The debris crashed into the ground, kicking up some dust. Cynthia ran forward, her fist ignited with her red fire, and she jumped into the air, throwing it towards Veronica. "Just do away already!"
"Not a chance, brat!" Veronica shouted, placing her hand forward. She sent out a telekinetic force that shot Cynthia back down.
"Cynthia!" Wendy's eyes widened as she rushed over to her friend, though she found that this wasn't the best idea as Veronica manifested two large, sharp spears from the debris nearby, aiming them at the two girls. "Oh no…!"
"So predictable…" Veronica snorted before pointing her arms forward, sending the two spears at the two girls.
Both girls closed their eyes, waiting for the impact…but nothing happened. "Huh…?" Wendy turned around, her eyes wide from surprise at the Silver Wall in front of her. "That's…!"
"You two aren't hurt, are you?" Melody asked as she rushed over.
"Melody!" Wendy and Cynthia shouted from surprise.
"Melody!?" Veronica sneered. "What are you doing protecting those brats!?"
"I remember everything now…" Melody said, keeping the silver wall up. "And I'm glad I've moved on from my evil past…"
"Oh, so that's how it's going to be, huh?" Veronica rolled her eyes. "I tried to bring you back, but if that's how you're going to be, then so be it!"
"Silver Make…" Melody started as she placed her fist into her palm. "Arrow!" A magic circle appeared in front of Melody, unleashing a silver arrow equal in speed to the Super Freeze Arrow, hurtling towards Veronica at breath taking speed.
"Tch…!" Veronica held her arm forward, using a force to keep the arrow at bay…however this failed, as the arrow shredded right through her force, striking her directly in the chest, and eventually passed through her now bloodied body. The body of Veronica hit the floor; lifeless.
"Y-You killed her?!" Cynthia gasped.
"She wouldn't have changed…" Melody replied with a solemn expression. "She didn't get as lucky as I did and get the chance to start over…once she started something, she always finished…to the very end…It's odd…I feel bad about it…but I don't at the same time…is it because I know what it is to be good now…?"

Wind jumped onto the roof of a nearby platform, easily evading a diamond coated fist from Selene, which hit nothing but the air. The masked female quickly swiped her hand across the air, sending a wave of black wind hurtling towards Selene and Aira, remaining silent the entire time. "Watch out!" Selene shouted as she turned her other arm into a diamond shield, the wind slamming into it with incredible force, causing Selene to slide back, but she did manage to protect herself and Aira.
"Selene! Are you alright?!" Aira asked as Selene slid back.
"I'm fine Aira…" Selene replied as she allowed her shield to turn back into a diamond coated arm, glaring at Black Wind. "Something about this one is different than the others…"
"You feel it too?" Aira asked, looking towards the opposing female.
Wind jumped from the rooftop she was on, now landing between Aira and Selene. Wind spun around quickly in a clockwise motion; when she finished this motion, a ring of black wind appeared and expanded outward, slamming into both Selene and Aira, knocking them away into different direction. "Wind's Circle…"
"G-Gah!" Aira cried out as she tumbled across the roofs, eventually sliding to a stop. "Have…Have I seen that before…?" Aira thought to herself.
"That looks…familiar…" Selene said while standing up, allowing her diamonds to cover her body.
Wind charged towards Selene, the agility of the girl catching the diamond mage off guard; Wind stopped in front of Selene and rotated her torso counterclockwise, then threw her arms up, black winds spiraling from her body and shooting Selene into the air. "Selene!" Aira shouted. Aira wasted no time in dashing forward, wind blades appearing on her arms as she attempted to cross slash her opponent, but the female easily dodged the attack by having black winds appear around her body with an outward force, causing Aira's slash to divert into another direction. "Ah!"
"Iron Dragon's Club!" Gajeel shouted from above, aiming his iron pole down at Black Wind, but the female could sense the iron dragon coming, so she back flipped, allowing Gajeel's iron pole to hit the rooftop, shattering that spot with ease. Gajeel landed with his arms crossed, somewhat annoyed his attack missed. "Tch…"
Selene caught herself in the air, flipping a few times before landing next to Gajeel, raising a brow at the iron dragon's presence. "Gajeel?"
"Didn't expect you to be here…" Aira said.
"Giheh, I couldn't miss out on the fun, now could I?" Gajeel grinned slightly, rolling his neck as he allowed his iron scales to cover his body. "I dunno who this one thinks they are, but they aren't destroying this town without a fight."

"Ice Make: Rose Garden!" Ur shouted as she threw her hands to the ground, sending a rose garden of ice towards Gray's direction.
"AGH!" Gray shouted as the Rose Garden landed a direct hit; he was too confused to think of a counter. He rolled across the ground, but quickly picked himself up, staring at his teacher. "Ur?! You…"
"This entire time, Gray," Ur replied with a sadistic grin. "The fact you only realized it just now…"
"Don't bullshit me!" Gray said as he slid into his own Ice Make Stance. "Ice Make: Freeze Lancer!" Gray shouted as he threw his arms forward, unleashing a plethora of frozen lances in Ur's direction.
"Pain!" Freed shouted, sending purple characters that flew into Gray's ice lances, giving them a bright purple glow as their power increased. Freed then landed next to Gray with his "Wings" on his back.
Ur shook her head, finding this event amusing. It wasn't exactly how she pictured it with Freed's sudden appearance, but Gray's reaction was enough for her. "Ice Make: Shield!" Ur spread her arms out, creating a large ice shield in front of her. To Gray and Freed's surprise, the ice shield held under the Freeze Lancer, only cracking a moderate amount. "Is that all?"
"Isn't this your teacher…!?" Freed asked while looking over to Gray.
"...She was…" Gray replied, first stripping off his jacket with no delay, slamming his fist into his palm once again, this time creating two large frozen swords in his hands. "Ice Make: Bringer!" Gray exclaimed as he ran forward, jumping into the air with the two blades held high.
"Ice Make: Pillar," Ur replied while simple raising her pointer finger up, causing a blue magic seal to appear on the ground. The pillar shot up just before Gray could reach Ur, causing Gray's eyes to widen as the force sent him flying back into the ground.
"Gray!" Freed shouted as he watch Gray get thrown back effortlessly. "This woman is not a joke…" Freed then turned his attention to Ur, but she had already reached close combat range, ice brass knuckles around her fist. Ur threw punch, but Freed managed to bring his forearm up to defend against it. Freed countered with a knee to Ur's stomach, but Ur easily dodged this and threw a roundhouse to Freed's face, slamming her heel into the rune mage's chin, causing him to spiral away and hit the ground. "U-Ugh…"
"Well…this was fun…" Ur said as she placed her fist into her palm once again, now creating an ice cannon in her arms, pointing it at both Freed and Gray. "But it's time for me to get going. Ice Cannon!" Ur released the ice cannon, the shot so powerful the recoil nearly sent her flying back.
"Shit…!" Gray exclaimed, rushing forward as he spread his arms out to his sides. "Ice Make: Rampart!" A large wall of ice appeared before Gray and Freed as a defense against the incoming Ice Cannon shot, however this proved to be ineffective, as the ice cannon shot shattered the rampart with ease, the remainder of the blow sending Freed and Gray back, unconscious and heavily damaged.
"Oops…" Ur chuckled at the sight, turning around and begun to walk off.

Juvia allowed water to swirl around her fist, and she promptly swung her fist towards Blake, however the White God dodged this with ease, and countered with a roundhouse kick to Juvia's side. To Blake's surprise, his leg ran through Juvia's body, leaving the water mage smirking. "Juvia's body is made of water…your attacks won't work on Juvia…"
"Is that so?" Blake asked with a chuckle. The White God then allowed white light to appear around his fist, and he slammed it into Juvia's face, causing the water mage to fly back with widened eyes, completely shocked.
"W-What…?" Was all Juvia had to say.
"Focus!" Reve shouted, letting loose a stream of bullets towards Blake with his assault rifles equipped.
With ease, Blake swayed his body form left to right, avoiding the incoming bullets, a taunting smirk on his face. Blake turned around, noticing Erza coming down with a vertical slash, so he jumped to the side, using her as leverage to jump high into the air, allowing Erza to take some of the bullets. "Come on, show me what you can do!" Blake flipped, his hands now cupped at his waist, a bright light forming in the space between his hands. "White God's…Holy Ray!" Blake threw his hands forward, sending piercing rays of light down towards the three mages.
"Shit…!" Reve shouted, immediately pulling out his Reverse Slayer gun as he did so. He clicked the trigger, absorbing some of the holy rays, but not all of them, which slammed into him, Erza, and Juvia. "I don't like where this is going…"
"And why not?" Blake said as he literally teleported behind Reve, a smirk on his face as he was now back to back with the gunslinger, whose eyes widened somewhat. Blake and Reve turned around simultaneously; Reve used his Quick Draw technique to pull out a pistol, but Blake was faster, slamming his white magic infused punch into Reve's jaw, causing Reve to fly back.
"Reve-san!" Juvia shouted before throwing her hands forward, unleashing a wave of water towards Blake. "Water Slicer!"
"Too easy…" Blake swayed to the side, though the water grazed his shoulder, he didn't let it bother him. Erza, now in her Purgatory Armor, attempted to blindside the white god by swinging her mace at him from the side, but he saw this coming, and held his hand out, a white dome appearing over his body, protecting him from the attack. "White Shield!"
Erza jumped back, gritting her teeth in annoyance. "What is he…?"

Sidney and Bluenote's fists clashed, creating an abnormally powerful shockwave that boomed through the area, shattering the very ground the two were standing on. Bluenote threw a vicious uppercut at Sidney's chin, but Sidney managed to dodge the attack, throwing a kick to Bluenote's side, which connected, causing Bluenote to slide back slightly. Bluenote grinned, and two magic circles appeared beside Sidney, lifting up two large pieces of the earth. "Fall…" Bluenote clapped his hands together, causing the two pieces of earth to sandwich Sidney, leaving Bluenote standing there with a grin.
Sidney had really vanished in a puff of white smoke just before the rocks could smash him, now appearing behind Bluenote with his hand stretched out. Without a word, Sidney fired off multiple tombstones at Bluenote, striking him in the back. Eventually, Bluentoe stopped this attack by lifting the earth he was standing on into the air, now essentially floating. "I'm used to gravity tricks…" Sidney replied while tugging on his scarf, showing some kind of respect to Bluenote, as he did know what the mage was capable of. "Cygnus may not be as good at is as you are, but that doesn't really matter right now…" Sidney then placed his foot on the ground, creating a magic circle. "Resurrection: Frankenstein." From the magic circle, a 50 foot tall cliché looking Frankenstein appeared from the ground, placing Sidney on its shoulder. Sidney looked down at Bluenote, his serious expression not leaving his face. "Are we done with the warmup?"
Bluenote smirked as he looked up at Sidney, not feeling a sensation such as this since his battles with Gildarts and Evanee. "Oh yes…this guy can fly…"
.

Now deciding to join the fight, a few members of Twilight Zone (Rylo, Evanee, Taranis, and Alexander) made their way from the guild and went to where the fight was; Magnolia. They traveled in a group, but that quickly stopped when they made their way to an open field, running into someone who was just leisurely making his way through the field until he noticed people. Daityas. "Oh?" Daityas turned, facing the group with a slight grin. "Well, if it isn't the second strongest guild in Fiore? Where's your speed mage?"
"You bastard…" Rylo glared at Daityas, ready to make the first move…but Evanee stepped forward first, a deep glare on her face. "Evanee…"
"He's responsible for what's been happening…" Evanee replied, a brownish aura coming from her body as she entered her Stone Drive state. "I want the rest of you to keep going; do you understand me?"
"She's serious…" Alexander said.
"I don't think I've seen her this angry before…" Rylo thought to himself. Rylo nodded to the other two mages, and the quickly ran off, leaving Evanee to deal with Daityas.
"The last one standing at the Grand Magic Games…" Daityas grinned slightly as Hell's flames began to surround his body. "Surely you won't disappoint…"
