Fairy Tail Opening 3

Tower of Heaven Arc

Chapter 18: Ascending to Paradise

---

Ishgar Branch Magic Council.. Meeting Chamber... Town of Era... Kingdom of Fiore.. August 5th, X784.. One hour before Midnight..

Within one of the many meeting chambers the Magic Council posses, in one of them we could see the Magic Council members all reunited having a heated discussion about using Etherion thanks to Councilman Siegrain suggestion. Etherion is one of the most powerful weapons in the continent that the Magic Council possesses, capable of destroying countries with a single blast, it was expected that it would raise a discussion in the usage of it specially when it comes to deal with the Tower of Valhalla or known as the R-System..

This heated discussion was getting the blue-haired councilman irritated that he raised his voice to get everyone's attention..

"Enough!" shouted Siegrain loudly as he got the attention of every member of the Council who began to look at him "We don't have time to be giving our opinions! It's clear that the only way to get rid of the R-System is to destroy it completely with the Etherion!"

Before the Chairman and the other members could respond back to his words, Ultear spoke up directly to them with a neutral expression..

"We all know that the R-System has been prohibited since the establishment of the Kingdom of Fiore, thanks to it's attributes of Dark Magic and being able to tamper with the laws of the death. Everyone in this room knows where this could be leading too.." stated the Arc of Time mage with a neutral tone towards the Council members who were left with deep thought about her words. However, she didn't paid mind to their reaction as she was still thinking about a certain black-haired Saiyan and the high possibilities of him being in that Tower trying to rescue Titania from her destiny..

Why did Goku had to get involved with something that never concerned him, he would have been safe if he only stayed put..

"I'm aware that I agree with Councilman Siegrain words about using the Etherion Cannon as an option. However, you're aware of the consequences of the usage of such weapon? It'll wipe out the Tower of Valhalla along with the entire island as well, the consequences could not only reach the southern coasts of Fiore with a Tsunami but also the coasts of the Caelum Kingdom as well, people could lose their lives.." commented Gran Doma with a serious expression towards Siegrain who didn't back down from his stare at all..

"I'm very aware of the consequences it will brings and I'll bear all the blame if the press comes knocking on our doors. But this must be done if we want to keep the Magic World status quo in place..." responded the blue-haired councilmen with a 'determine' expression on his face, not moving his gaze from the Chairman. However, their stare-off was interrupted by another Councilman named Leiji..

"I wholeheartedly agree with Councilman Siegrain! History has taught us that to achieve peace and order for the majority, there were always sacrifices to be made and today that responsibility lands on us..!" stated Councilman Leiji with a serious expression towards the others, who were once again left in deep thoughts until another Councilman spoke up..

"Councilman Leiji, you must be aware that using such weapon of destruction will leave a black mark in the history of the Kingdom. They'll wonder why we used it on such insignificant island to just create tsunamis around the coasts.." responded the short male Councilman with urgency in his tone of voice towards Reiji. Before he could respond back, the elderly Councilwoman spoke up to give her opinion..

"I agree with Councilman Reiji and Councilman Siegrain, sacrifices tend to always happen when it comes to achieving the peace for the masses and by destroying the R-System completely, we will prevent current and future generations from ever experience a dark era in the Magic World..!" stated the elder Councilwomen with a determine expression as she presses the green button on her desk which surprised everyone on the meeting room "I, Councilwomen Belno agree with the usage of the Etherion cannon towards the R-System..!"

"Perfect..! With Ultear, those two old hags and the Chairman on my side I just need one more vote for the activation of the Etherion..!" thought Siegrain with a small dark smirk forming on his face as he couldn't help but to feel elated that his goals are within reach..

He just needed to make sure to keep pushing..

Scene Change.. Tower of Valhalla.. Between the Third and Fourth floor.. With Natsu..

Above a few floors where Goku and the others were having a conversation, we could see Natsu along with Happy running around the hallways of the 4th floor of the Tower of Valhalla trying to look for individuals responsible from capturing Erza. Despite the Dragon Slayer trying to sense the location of his opponents, he found it difficult thanks to the Tower emitting a mysterious dark energy that was throwing their sensing abilities out of wack..

It was a good thing that Natsu is able to track someone by smelling someone's scent..

To his luck he was able to pick up an unknown feminine scent that was leading him to an unknown room, not wanting to waste time Natsu along with his blue Exceed made their way to where the scent was leading to. As both Natsu and Happy reach their destination, they noticed that the room was filled with giant cat plushies and figurines, which made them curious since they didn't expect something like this belonging in a place like this..

"Are you sure this is the where that unknown scent was leading you Natsu?" asked the blue Exceed with some doubt in his voice as he began to look around and inspect the room..

"Yeah, I'm 100% sure that's where the scent was leading me too. Not my fault that the room looks like a paradise for cat lovers.." commented Natsu casually as he also began to look around the room with a curious expression. Then his gaze landed on a giant green cat helmet cover that was at the table, Natsu's curiosity got the best out of him as he went to pick up the helmet and puts it on which covers the entirety of his face. This of course was noticed by Happy who began to chuckle at the antics of his 'father'..

"Really Natsu..? I thought you wanted to fight the people responsible for capturing Erza!" responded Happy with a playful grin as he heard Natsu making 'meow' noises as a joke, followed by laughing after that silly antic..

"Sorry, I couldn't help it! Seeing such cat helmet made me curious to try it on..!" stated the pink-haired honestly as he puts both hands around the helmet and began to take it off. However, he began to have difficulties in taking it off which began to frustrate the Dragon Slayer "C-Come on you stupid helmet! G-Get off me!"

"Hahaha! Don't tell me you can't take it off?!" exclaimed Happy as he laughs loudly at the antics that his partner got into. Meanwhile Natsu couldn't help but to feel more irritated from the fact that he was being mocked by Happy..

"If that's how are you laughing at me Happy, then I can imagine how the Ice Queen, Lucy or even Goku would react when they see me with this stupid mask on! And I have a feeling that if Erza sees me like this, she is going to skin alive after the words I said to her earlier..!" stated Natsu as he began to imagine how his friends would laugh at him for being in this situation, he didn't want to even imagine how the Re-quip mage would react after he said to her earlier..

He needed to take this stupid helmet off now..!

However, before Happy could say anything to his companion suddenly someone grabbed him from behind and covered his mouth so he could not speak up. The blue Exceed turned his gaze up to see who it was and to his surprised it was the same person that shot at Natsu's mouth back at the Casino. Happy tried to yell at Natsu but couldn't do it thanks to his raptor covering his mouth, he watches hopelessly as he uses his other available hand to take out his special gun and began to point towards it to Natsu who was still trying to take off the helmet..

"Time to say goodbye permanently, Salamander..." stated the raptor who was none other than Wally as he smirked darkly as he was about to shoot at his opponent. As he was about to shoot, he was suddenly interrupted a familiar voice that made him jolt thus making him shoot at the ceiling, which made Natsu stop trying to take off the helmet as he looks around in confusion..

"Wally! How many times do I have to tell you not to come in to my room with your gun! I don't want you to be shooting at my cat plushies and collection..!" commented Millianna with a pouting expression as she came into her room from another door. However, her eyes went slightly wide as her gaze landed on Happy who was still trying to get out from Wally's grip "Oh my God! It's a kitty! Why are you holding it on like that?! He could get hurt!"

"It's not an ordinary cat Millianna! This is Salamander's companion which I could have gotten ridden off if you didn't bargain all of the sudden to interrupt me..!" responded Wally with a glare towards his partner who didn't backed down from his statement. Before their bickering could continue, the Dragon Slayer began to speak up which got their attention..

"Wait a minute, I know that voice and scent!" exclaimed Natsu with realization as he moves his head towards where Wally was standing despite not being able to see anything "You're that cubic-looking guy that shoot a magic bullet at my mouth back at the casino!"

"You shot at this cute-looking cat at his mouth?! How could you do that Wally?! Wasn't enough for you to already be abusing the blue kitty in your hand?!" added Millianna in disbelief as she pointed at the Dragon Slayer who was still wearing the green cat helmet, which was able to fool the brown-haired cat girl for now..

"He's not a cat Millianna! You can tell that he's wearing that green cat helmet around his head to fool you.." responded the cubic-looking man as he pointed at Natsu once more who at first didn't say nothing. But then the Dragon Slayer began to fool around by making 'meow' cute sounds that not only made Millianna squeal but made Wally drop his jaw comically..

"I don't know about you Wally, but that to me is a cute cat alright..!" stated Millianna still gushing after hearing such cute noises from the 'green cat'..

"Stop lying to her you fool!" exclaimed comically Wally towards the Dragon Slayer as he laughed for a couple of seconds until he stopped as he directed his gaze once again towards the Cubic man despite not being able to see nothing..

"Alright I had my fun, I can smell that you're holding onto Happy so not only I'm going to kick your ass for shooting at my mouth, kidnapping Erza but also trying to capture Happy as well! I hope you're prepared to be burned to crisp..!" stated Natsu with a serious tone of voice as he got into his Renewal Taekwondo position, which made both Wally and Millianna narrow their eyes as they also got into a battle position, not even realizing that he let go of Happy..

"Alright then! Let's see if you're able to dodge this! Polygon Attack: 32 Frames!" shouted Wally as he turned himself into multiple cubes and shoots off at blinding speeds, ready to collide with Natsu at different parts of his body, the Exceed was about to warn his partner about the incoming attack. However, what Wally, Millianna and even Happy didn't expect was the Dragon Slayer to began to dodge each cubic attack with such finesse and precision that if left them speechless. After dodging every single cubic attack, Wally goes back to the position where he was early and began to form into his original body as he showcased a stunned expression "What the hell?! How is he able to dodge each single cubic attack without even seeing it coming?! 32 Frames per second should be nothing to scoff at!"

"Heh! I guess is my turn now..!" stated Natsu with some arrogance in his tone of voice as he runs at super-sonic speeds towards Wally's direction, thus appearing in front of him in just half a second which left everyone besides Happy surprised. Not even giving him a chance to react properly, the Dragon Slayer began to ignite his right hand with his flames and shouts "Fire Dragon Hand Claw!"

With Natsu's flames forming the claw of a 'Dragon' with his right hand, he collides it with Wally's body which sends the cubic man flying back and collides with the nearest wall of Millianna's room, causing a small crater to form by the impact followed by spitting saliva..

"Wally..!" exclaimed Millianna with a concern expression as she didn't expect their enemy to be this strong..!

"Tch..! I guess Jellal was right when he said that the three most dangerous individuals from Erza's group of friends are Salamander, the Ice-maker and Son Goku. Those three truly can pose a threat to our goal of achieving paradise!" said Wally to himself frustrated as he comes out of the crater and wipes the blood coming from his mouth with his thumb..

Before the Dragon Slayer could make his next move. His hands were suddenly tied up to his back with Anti-Magic cuffs, this surprised him since he didn't expect it coming as he was focused on Wally's scent and energy. Although Natsu couldn't see who it was thanks to the Cat mask covering his view, with his enhanced nose he turned his gaze to was the responsible one and it was Millianna, who was showing anger in her expression..

"How dare you trying to make a fool out of me by dressing up as cat! You'll pay for what you done to my partner!" exclaimed the brown-haired girl with a furious expression as she jumps back from Natsu and calls out her friend.. "Now it's your chance to defeat him Wally! Without his Magic he won't be able to do a thing!"

"Thank you for the assist Millianna! Now it's time to truly say goodbye Salamander..!" stated the cubic man with a smirk on his face as he began to activate his attack once more "Polygon Attack: 32 Frames per sec-...!"

"Who said that I needed Magic to defeat the both of you..?" responded Natsu in a threatening tone of voice which stunned Wally, as he notice the Dragon Slayer was already in front of him ready to deliver his incoming attack. He didn't even give him the time to de-materialize into his cubes thanks to the monstrous speed he was showcasing..

"What kind of monster is he!? How is he able to move at such speed without using Magic and not being able to see us..?! Was he always this strong?!" thought Wally with some fear staring to build up withing himself as he tried to block Natsu's incoming attack..

But it wasn't going to be enough..

"Renewal Taekwondo: 3rd Stance Hwechook!" exclaimed the Dragon Slayer calmly as he delivers three blinding speed kicks at Wally's head and neck. After successfully executing the attack and appearing behind his opponent, Natsu was able to knock him out with ease which left Millianna stunned as she began to step back with some fear. Unfortunately for her, the Dragon Slayer wasn't going to give her the chance to react as he re-appears behind her and chops her pressure point on her neck thus knocking her out successfully..

Natsu defeated both Wally and Millianna with no problems despite his face being completely covered..

"Natsu!" shouted the blue Exceed as he got the attention of his 'father' as he looked at the direction where he was coming, what Natsu didn't expect was being suddenly hugged by Happy "I'm so glad that you're okay!"

"Of course I was going to be okay Happy! At least have some faith in my abilities will ya..?!" responded the pink-haired mage confidently as he breaks out from the Anti-Magic cuffs with his raw strength, followed by taking off the Cat helmet with ease thanks to increasing his strength via his Ki.. "At first it was difficult to take the helmet off, but it seems that by increasing my Ki slightly it was a piece of cake to take it off..!"

"You really have become awesome after training under Goku..!" praised Happy towards the Dragon Slayer, who showed off a confident grin towards his companion after hearing those words. However, this moment was suddenly interrupted when the walls around Millianna's room began to morph into multiple mouths all over the walls. This of course creep-out Happy as he didn't expect this to happen, meanwhile Natsu gained a serious expression as he got into a fighting position in case those creepy mouths began to do something towards them..

To their surprise, instead of attacking them it began to speak up..

"Welcome my dear players, my name is Jellal Fernandez and I'm the administrator of the Tower of Valhalla where the Game of Paradise will commence.." said a distorted voice that came from the creepy mouths, it was none other than Jellal who was using a magic spell to communicate with everyone that was inside the Tower..

"A Game of Paradise? What the hell is he talking about?" thought Natsu to himself as he payed attention to what this 'Jellal' was about to say next..

"The rules of the games are simple. I need Erza Scarlet or Son Goku as my sacrifices to revive the Black Wizard, with his revival the gates of paradise will open and I will usher a new era in the Magic World. However, this can be prevented if you players can defeat me along with my three warriors that want to join this game.." commented Jellal via the creepy mouths as he began to smirk darkly at to what he was about to say next "To make things more interesting, we are on a time limit before the inevitable happens so i recommend to get going and try to defeat me and my warriors. I'll be waiting at the top of the Tower.."

After he said those words, the creepy mouths began to disappear from the walls thus leaving both Natsu and Happy by themselves thinking about what Jellal just said

"I might not understand a thing what he just said but if he's after Erza and now Goku, then I'll kick Jellal's ass and win this game by myself!" stated Natsu with determination as he collided both fist together which caused small flames to come out.. "What do you think Happy! Ready to win these games?!"

"Aye sir!" exclaimed the blue Exceed with the same determination that the Dragon Slayer was showcasing..

However, this moment was suddenly interrupted when Natsu's noise began to pick up an unknown scent that was approaching to their direction at blinding speeds. Not wanting to waste time, the Dragon Slayer pushes Happy away from him as Natsu was suddenly tackled by an unknown individual that came from one of the walls of the room and began to drag him through multiple walls of the Tower..

"Natsu!" shouted Happy in concern as he saw Natsu being dragged into another room by that unknown individual and decided to follow them..

"What the hell!? I can't sense any energy coming off from him! It's like he's fully repressing his presence completely!" thought Natsu with confusion as he increases his Ki and with his available right leg, he delivers a powerful kick the individual's stomach to push him away which it works as he grunted in pain and let's go of the Dragon Slayer as he jumps away from his opponent to get a good look at him. To his surprise, it was a giant Owl man with huge muscles that made him threatening along with a magic jet-pack behind him..

Overall, an enemy that Natsu has never encounter in his life before..

"Who the hell are you?!" exclaimed the Dragon Slayer with a hostile tone as he got into his Renewal Taekwondo stance in case his opponent attacked him..

"You can call me the Owl Man, a man of justice!" stated the Owl Man as he also got into a battle position meanwhile pointing at Natsu "You will not be going any higher than this Salamander! You're sins will be put to rest right here and now!"

"A man of justice going against my 'sins' huh? Then I'll just have to prove that my 'sins' are more powerful than your self proclaimed justice..!" commented the pink-haired mage with a determine expression as he began to release his Magic aura "Now come at me Owl man!"

Scene Change.. Tower of Heaven.. Main Hall lower levels..

Natsu and Happy weren't the only ones that heard Jellal's announcement as it was broadcast throughout the entire Tower of Valhalla, Goku and the other mages who were still in the Main Hall just finished listening to Jellal words were left deep in thoughts. Game of Paradise? wanting to sacrifice either Erza or Goku to revive the Black Wizard? but what stand out the most from that announcement was that they were on a time limit before the inevitable happens, they didn't know what was truly going on but one thing for sure they knew was that they needed to defeat Jellal as soon as possible before that time limit expires..

However, their train of thoughts was interrupted when Sho who was still on his knees spoke up..

"So Jellal at the end was never leading us to paradise but instead wanted to revive the Black Wizard..? The same goal that those sick bastards wanted to achieve all those years ago..! Just what kind of twisted joke is this?!" exclaimed Sho with frustration as he punches the floor in anger repeatedly meanwhile he was being stared by the others with looks of pity. However, Sho was interrupted by Simon who touched his shoulder to get his attention "S-Simon..!?"

"I know you're frustrated and confused Sho and I get that, I would definitely have the same reaction if I was left in the dark all this time.." commented Simon with a soft tone towards his friend "But right now we need to focus on stopping Jellal at all cost if we want to come out of this alive..!"

"Simon is right..!" spoke up the Saiyan God as he got everyone's attention "Now that we know what Jellal truly wants and that we are on a time limit, I think it's safe to say that it's our top priority to defeat him as soon as possible..!"

"Right..!" shouted Gray, Lucy and Juvia at the same time after hearing Goku's words, meanwhile Erza was still deep in thoughts after hearing Jellal's words..

"Goku-san.." said Simon as he made his way to where the black-haired Saiyan was standing "I'm aware that you posses an ability that allows you to Teleport, do you think you can teleport to where Jellal is currently..?"

"Trust me I've been trying to that since we gotten here, but the Tower is messing up with my sensing abilities to Teleport at longer distance..!" commented Goku with slight annoyance in his tone of voice, this just shows that he needed to improve his Instant Transmission more than ever so he doesn't encounter these type of situations "Maybe if I get closer to his location then I'll be able to teleport for sure..!"

"I see, in that case.." stated the eye-patched man as he took out a paper scroll from his pocket and throws it at Goku, who casually catches it with curiosity "That paper scroll entails the layout of the Tower of Valhalla, it should give you a lead to where to ascend without getting lost. When you get to the final floors you should be able to sense Jellal's presence and teleport to his throne room.."

"Thank you Simon..! With this scroll I shouldn't have any issues to ascend the Tower..!" responded the black-haired Saiyan with a small smile towards Simon who just nodded at him. Goku then moves his gaze towards Erza who has been quiet through this entire exchange "We need to get going Erza-chan..!"

After hearing her name being mentioned by the Saiyan God, Erza got out of her train of thoughts and looks at Goku with a determine expression as she nods to his words "Right..!"

"Remember our promise Goku-kun! You have to make it back safe and sound alright? If things go south then don't hesitate to run away with Erza..!" stated the Celestial Mage seriously towards her beloved who responded back with a thumbs up along with his trademark smile..

"Don't worry Lucy-chan! We'll make it back safely I promise..!" responded Goku confidently as he along with Erza began to make their way to the main stairs that led to the higher floors where most likely they will find Jellal's throne room..

"Although I'm not concerned about flames brains since he can take care of himself, but it would be for the best if we find him soon before those other 'fighters' decide to jump on him.." stated the Ice-maker mage neutrally towards Lucy and Juvia who both nodded at his words..

"It seems that everyone knows what to do then, Me and Sho are going to look for the rest of our group to update them on the current situation." commented Simon as he pointed towards another hallway that led to a different direction "Salamander and his companion went in that direction, if you guys go fast enough then you'll be able to catch up with him in no time.."

Not wanting to waste anymore time the three mages began to run towards the hallway where Natsu and Happy went, thus leaving Simon and Sho by themselves as they were beginning to plan what to do next with Jellal's plans now fully going into motion..

It was going to be a long night..

Scene Change... Tower of Valhalla... Fourth Floor.. Abandoned Room..

The Dragon Slayer was in the middle of a stare down between his opponent, the Owl Man. Both of them were in their respective fighting position, waiting who will make their first move. Natsu through his enhanced smell began to sniff blood scent that was being emitted by his opponent, not even Gajeel scent was this bad compared to what he was facing currently..

"If what I'm smelling is correct then this guy is a legit Assassin..!" thought Natsu with a serious expression as he began to grit his teeth in anger "And he dares to talk to me about sins and justice when he has blood in his hands..!"

"Natsu..!" shouted a familiar voice that got Natsu out of his train of thought's, he slightly turned to his right to see that it was Happy who had a concerned expression "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine Happy! Just don't get involved in this fight!" stated the Dragon Slayer with a urgent tone as he moved his gaze back to his opponent "This guys is an Assassin and I can't stand people who kill people for the money!"

"Hou Hou.. You call me an Assassin when you're something far worst Salamander..! Time to disappear!" exclaimed the Owl Man as he activated his magic jet-pack and rushes towards Natsu beyond super-sonic speeds, which surprised the Dragon Slayer since he didn't expect it but saw it quickly enough to go on his defense as he forms an 'X' with his arms. The Owl Man couldn't help but smirk as he murmured some words to himself..

"Tekkai Kempo!" said the Owl Man to himself as he felt his muscles hardening to the point that he could feel they were as strong as iron, as the assassin arrives in front of Natsu he delivers a powerful punch that collides with the Dragon Slayer's defense which creates a powerful shockwave that makes the room tremble. Followed by sending the Dragon Slayer flying into the nearest wall at high speeds which surprised Happy who was watching the fight on the sidelines..

"Natsu..!" exclaimed Happy in concern hoping that his adoptive father was okay..

"What the hell was that..?! Suddenly his fist turned harder than Gajeel's Iron Skin! I wasn't able to detect a sudden increase of power when he did that..!" thought the Dragon Slayer with confusion and at the same time feeling pain in his arms as he gets out of the crater he created from the impact.. "I'll admit it, I wasn't expecting a solid punch like that so suddenly! It seems that this fight won't be so boring after all..!"

"You're a tough one Salamander, not everyone can survive my Tekkai Kempo and live to tell the tale.." responded back the Owl Man with an amused tone as he crosses his arms

"Tekkai Kempo? The hell is he taking about..?" said Natsu to himself in a confused tone of voice, wondering what his opponent was talking about. However, the Owl Man was able to hear what he said and couldn't help but to chuckle as he decided to respond to Natsu's question..

"Since you're going to die here I'll give a little explanation, Tekkai Kempo comes from the fighting style known as Rokushiki. An ancient Martial Arts styles that was used to counter Magic users when the rise of Magic was expanding throughout the world. Every member of Trinity Raven has trained their body to the point of surpassing human limitations to dominate this ancient Martial Arts and let me tell you, the results are quite scary.." explained the Trinity Raven member with a dark smirk as he flexes his muscles to make them bigger than usual "Now my body is sturdier than the shell of Iron itself! Nothing will be able to trespass the Iron wall I've trained over time! And the best part of all of this is that I don't have to waste any Magic energy to use Rokushiki..!"

"So he also trained his body to surpass the human limitations like how me and the other did under Goku. The only difference being that he doesn't use any Ki.." thought Natsu seriously as he got into his Renewal Taekwondo fighting stance "I don't care that you posses a Martial Arts that was lost through time..! I'll kick your ass regardless!"

"We'll see about that Salamander.." responded the Owl Man in a dangerous tone as he also got into a battle position..

Scene Change... Tower of Valhalla... First Floor..

In one of the Main Hallways of the first floor, we could see both Celestial mage and Water mage shouting for Natsu's name. But so far their results amounted for nothing since they haven't found him so far..

"Come on Natsu, with your enhanced hearing you should be able to hear our voices..!" stated Lucy with frustration in her tone of voice as she shouted his name once more..

"So Salamander also posses the same enhanced hearing as Gajeel-kun huh..?" asked Juvia with a neutral expression towards the blonde-haired girl, who raised an eyebrow at her question until her eyes went wide after realizing who the Water mage was taking about..

"Gajeel-kun?! Are you talking about Black Steel Gajeel?! The same one that made me go through a living nightmare along with cutting my eye?!" responded Lucy loudly as she could feel fear and anger building up inside her after hearing the name of the Iron Dragon Slayer once again. Juvia couldn't help but to feel annoyed after hearing those slandering words towards her only friend from Phantom Lord that she decided to talk back..

"You better watch your mouth Heartfilia! Gajeel-kun was under the pressure of Jose Porla so he had no choice but to follow his orders or else there would be consequences..!" exclaimed back the blue-haired girl fiercely towards Lucy who gained an furious expression after hearing her words..

"That's not an excuse you can fall on and you know that..! Not only that monster enjoyed crucifying one of my closest friend but also enjoyed torturing me to the point of almost killing me and that's not including what he did to my guild!" yelled the Celestial Mage furiously towards Juvia who just stayed quiet and let Lucy continue.. "Like I'll believe that crap of him doing all those atrocious things because Jose Porla told him to do..! He knows the monster that he is and embraces it fully..!"

"Tch..! Juvia should of have gone with Gray-sama instead of hearing this crap.." said Juvia bitterly with her arms crossed, wondering why she couldn't go with her darling to get Salamander. However, it was Lucy who reminded her the reason..

"Gray wanted to find Natsu by himself since he posses speed greater than the two of us, so even if you wanted to join him he would have left you behind.." commented Lucy neutrally towards the blue-haired mage who formed a frustrated expression "So we in this together whenever we like it or not.."

"Or this could be a test from darling on how Juvia can work together with her love rival..!" said the Water mage to herself as she began to feel her face getting red "Juvia has to admit it, it's a ballsy move to make someone work together with a person that is your love rival..! Or could it be that Gray-sama secretly wanted to see who is truly worthy to gain the love and affection of Goku-sama..?!"

"This girl is truly delusional..! Not only she obsessed with Gray but also with my beloved Goku-kun..!" thought Lucy as she silently glares at Juvia who still was in her own little world "Don't worry Goku-kun, I'll make sure that Juvia never takes you away from me..! That I'll promise..!"

However, her train of thoughts was suddenly interrupted when noises began to come from the roof above them. Each second it began to get louder to the point that Lucy covered her ears meanwhile Juvia began to get annoyed by the noise..

"W-What the hell is that sound?! It's like someone is playing with the guitar!" commented the Celestial Mage loudly meanwhile she kept her ears covered..

"Indeed, that is the sound of a person playing the guitar. Juvia thinks it might be coming from the upper floors and there's a high chance we find our opponents there.." responded Juvia with a serious expression as she and Lucy kept walking towards where the sound was coming from..

After a minute of walking, both girls arrived into a big spacious room where they saw in the middle of it a long haired guy dressed in a heavy rock outfit themed playing with the guitar. His gaze then landed on both Lucy and Juvia, who got into their respective battle position and began to laugh like a maniac along with playing his guitar..

"Well, Well..! It seems that I've got some fucking company..!" stated the unknown man with a crazy smile as he played some tunes with his guitar meanwhile speaking "What do you girls think of my 'Niflheim Concert'? Pretty fucking cool isn't it..?!"

"Great! just what we needed it. Another person that acts crazy with the person they met.." murmured the Celestial Mage to herself with a sweat-dropped expression, wondering where these 'freaks of nature' come from..

"Could he be one of the fighters that the administrator was talking about earlier in his speech..?" wondered Juvia with a serious expression as she didn't move her gaze from her potential opponent. The long-haired man managed to hear what Juvia said and decided to respond her question..

"Ding, Ding, Ding! You got that right girl! My name is Vithaldas Taka but call me Taka for short, I'm a member of Trinity Raven and my job is to give you best concert of your lives!" exclaimed loudly the man known as Taka as he began to make his guitar sounds loud enough that the room they were at began to tremble..

Then it was followed by Taka's hair becoming longer all of the sudden and shoots off all around the room. Lucy thanks to her training under Goku, began to dodge every hair strand that coming to her way. Meanwhile Juvia used her Water Magic to become intangible which allowed her not to feel anything despite the hair strands going through her water body..

"Huh, despite my hair going through your body it's not affecting you the slightest.." commented Taka with an amused expression

"Because Juvia's body is made out of water, any attack that you throw at Juvia will be useless against the forces of water.." responded Juvia with her typical stoic expression as she got into a battle position and summons a magic circle "Now begone! Water Prison!"

The Trinity Raven member was suddenly enveloped in a Water dome that restricted him from moving at all. Meanwhile on the side, Lucy couldn't help but to be shocked at seeing the display of Magic power Juvia was showcasing with ease by becoming intangible and creating a Water prison in a few seconds. The Celestial Mage now understood how Gray had difficulties in defeating her and had to rely on the Kaio-Ken to knock her out..

Juvia is a dangerous opponent if you don't possess superior speed..

"As much as I hate to admit it, if I ever fight against Juvia I'll end up losing for sure.." thought Lucy with some frustration as she could feel sweat coming down her forehead "After all of this is done, I need to increase my training regimen so I can catch up with the others..!"

However, Taka couldn't help but to smirk as he mumbles a word that couldn't be heard and suddenly disappears from the Water Prison which stunned both Lucy and Juvia. The two mages began to turn their heads to different direction as they look for their opponent who seemed to be hiding. However, Juvia suddenly stopped looking as she began to feel blood coming down from her mouth, followed by feeling a burning pain coming from her chest..

With a horrified expression, Juvia looks down to see Taka in front of her stabbing her in the chest with just a single finger which left her and Lucy shocked to the core..

"Since when did he get there?! It was like he teleport next to Juvia and was able to bypass her water intangibility like nothing..!" thought Lucy with a horrified expression as she saw Juvia began to cough blood that began to land on Taka's hand..

"Shigan.." said the long-haired mage sadistically as he removes his finger from Juvia's chest as she begins to stumble back, wondering how this even happened to her..

"This is impossible..! Juvia had her water intangibility activated all this time and he still was able to bypass it..! And how did he escape the water prison without using any Magic power..?!" thought the Water mage to herself as she tried to cover the bloody wound on her chest and glares at her opponent "You! How were you able to escape Juvia's Water Prison without using any magic..?!"

"Since you two fucking girls are dying here I might as well tell you what I did..!" responded Taka confidently as he looks at both Lucy and Juvia smugly "I used a technique known as Soru, it an ability that allows me to move at hyper-sonic speeds by just kicking the floor ten time in a single second. Meanwhile that other technique that I used to stab you is called Shigan, it allows my finger to become as strong as a Magic bullet and be able to stab anything. All of this comes from learning an ancient Martial Arts known as Rokushiki. And the best part is that it doesn't consume any Magic at all!"

"Shit..! These guys must have trained to the point of surpassing their human limitations if what he said its true..!" thought Lucy with a concerned expression as she moved her right hand to where her Celestial Keys are located.. "On one-on-one I won't be able to defeat him since I'm still not as strong as Natsu, Erza or even Gray. But with the training I've been through so far and with the help of my Celestial Spirits, I should be able to fight him on equal grounds..!"

"I'm bored! Why don't we play a little game to pass the time..!" exclaimed Taka as he got the attention of both girls who glared intensely at him "Which one of you will play music alongside with me..?"

The Trinity Raven member began to move his finger from Juvia to Lucy for a couple of second until it landed on the Celestial Mage, who got into a defensive position in case Taka did something.. "Congratulations! You will be joining the 'Concert of Niflheim'! Hope you enjoy it!"

Without wasting time, Taka began to play his electric guitar and unleashes a huge sonic boom that was heading towards Lucy who didn't have enough time to counter it thus deciding to protect herself from the incoming attack. However, what she didn't expect was Juvia tackling her out of the way as she receives the attack head on..

"Juvia..!" shouted Lucy with concern and horrified at the same time as she stares at Juvia, who was yelling in agony after receiving such attack head on.. "Is she stupid?! Why did she do that when she hasn't recovered from that injury..!"

However, to Lucy's surprise she began to notice that Juvia was beginning to change as her hair began to grow, followed by also gaining a new set of clothes that had a similar theme like Taka's. But what surprised the Celestial Mage the most was that Juvia's wound was beginning to heal and close up. After a few seconds, the newly Juvia began to slowly stand up and stares down at Lucy with a maniac smile on her faces..

She was not the same Juvia that she was dealing with earlier..

"Juvia is going to show you the depths of Niflheim you little bitch!" exclaimed the Water mage meanwhile making a rock sign towards Lucy, who was stunned to see the sudden change Juvia just went through..

"What the hell did you do to Juvia?!" demanded Lucy with a serious expression towards Taka, who couldn't help but to smirk at such question..

"Don't you see it, the Water mage became my minion and now only listens to my commands..!" responded the long-haired mage as he sticks out his tongue, followed by Juvia who also did the same..

"If you could that all the time, then why didn't you do it to the two of us when you attacked earlier?!" exclaimed the Celestial Mage towards her opponent wondering why he didn't do it when he had the chance..

"Isn't it obvious?! Because it wouldn't be fun to control the two you and I rather see a cat fight go off between the two of you to make things more amusing..!" stated Taka casually to the Celestial Mage as she couldn't help but to feel annoyed by his comment..

"What kind of sick person are you?!" responded Lucy with a disgusted expression towards the long-haired man, who just sticks out his tongue out at her questioning..

"The best one you'll ever know..!" exclaimed Taka without any care of the world as he plays some tunes with his guitar..

"If you're not ready to listen to rock music, then you deserve to die!" commented the Water mage with a sadistic smile as she transformed her body into water and disappears out of Lucy's sight, thus making the Celestial Mage start looking around the room frantically..

However, the blonde-haired girl didn't expect for the possessed Juvia to appeared in front her still keeping her sadistic smile

"Are you really going to listen to his orders Juvia..? For a moment I really thought you were better than this.." commented Lucy with a serious expression towards Juvia, who didn't answer to her question and began to grab Lucy's bra forcefully.."W-What the..!?"

"Why don't you let you big chest out already..!" stated the hypnotized Water mage as she morphed her right arm into a water blade so she could cut the Celestial Mage's bra. However, Lucy manages to use this moment of distraction by delivering a quick right jab into Juvia's face that unfortunately went through since she was in her intangible form. Fortunately, this gave Lucy an opportunity to jump away from Juvia and gained some distance to think about something..

Unluckily, Lucy didn't have enough time as she was suddenly enveloped in a Water Prison which restricted her from even moving or breathing at all..

"Shit..! I forgot that Juvia is able to create a Water Prison with ease..!" thought Lucy as she began to remember how she was captured by this magic spell a week ago.. "I need to summon Aquarius if I ever want to have a chance against Juvia..!"

"Now is time to die you bi-..!" before the possessed Water mage could finish her sentence, her head began to suddenly hurt which prevented her to finish the Celestial Mage off. Then all of the sudden she began to hear voices within her mind and it wasn't just any random voice..

It was the original voice of Juvia before becoming possessed by Taka's magic..

"Juvia won't do anything that kills our Love Rival..! Goku-sama wouldn't forgive Juvia if Heartfilia ends up dying because Juvia ended up being possessed by that scumbag..!" said the original voice of Juvia towards her possessed self within her mind, as she began to grab her head from the pain she was feeling "Juvia isn't going to waste the second opportunity that Goku-sama and Gray-sama gave us..! Juvia promised to change for the better which is why Juvia is joining Fairy Tail..! Is Juvia going to waste everything we have been fighting for so far?!"

To the Celestial Mage surprise, she notice that the Water Prison began to disappeared around her and was suddenly free from it's grasp. Lucy took a few deep breaths to regain the oxygen she lost and looks at the possessed Juvia who was kneeing down from the massive headache she was currently feeling..

"What's wrong with Juvia..?" thought Lucy with curiosity as she gazes at the blue-haired mage. However, her eyes went wide at the realization she just came up with "Could it be that she's fighting off the effects of Taka's magic and she's trying to regain control..?!"

"Juvia can't succumb to the darkness once again where there was no warmth and happiness of a family..! All Juvia ever wanted was to not be by herself and have a true family to rely on..! Juvia will not throw those efforts away..!" commented the voice as it began to gain more force to fight back control, which caused the possessed Juvia to yell in agony as she felt that her head was beginning to split apart..

After a few seconds of being kneeing down in pain, the possessed Water mage looks up to Lucy with tears coming down her face which made Lucy's eyes go wide with realization dawning to her face..

The original Juvia regained back control of her conscious and her body..

"What the fuck are you waiting for you minion, kill that blondie once it for all..!" shouted Taka with frustration in his tone of voice wondering why the 'possessed' Water mage hasn't done anything..

"With pleasure 'my lord'..! Water Rotation!" responded Juvia fiercely as she quickly turns around to where Taka was standing and summons a magic circle by colliding her two fist together, then from the magic circle Juvia shoots off a pillar of water that was quickly approaching Taka who was surprised by the sudden betrayal of his 'minion'..

"Tekkai..!" shouted the long-haired man as he made every muscle in his body as strong as a Iron Shell and by forming an 'X' with his arms, was able to withstand Juvia's incoming attack without using any Magic spell at all..

"I knew that you were strong enough to overcome mind control..!" said Lucy with a smile as she stands next to Juvia who kept using the Water Rotation to push back Taka..

"Spare Juvia the compliments Heartfilia! Juvia needs you're support to fight back against that scumbag..!" exclaimed Juvia with urgency as she kept her focus solely on her opponent who seemed to not be moving at all despite taking her attack head on..

"Don't worry Juvia..! We'll defeat him together..!" commented Lucy confidently as she takes out one of her golden Celestial Keys and summons a golden magic circle.. "Gate of the Water: I Open Thee! Aquarius!"

From the golden magic circle that Lucy summoned began to emerged a women with light blue hair, her upper part of her body being that of a human and the lower half being a siren tail which makes her look like a mermaid..

"What do you want you brat..? I was about to get ready with my date..!" stated the Celestial Spirit with a annoyed tone of voice towards her summoner who gained a comical 'tick' on her forehead from the question she asked her...

"I could care less about your date Aquarius! I need you're help defeating that bastard over there and support Juvia with Water Magic or else we will die..!" exclaimed Lucy firmly as she points at Taka to indicate her Celestial Spirit who to attack..

Aquarius wanted to reprimand Lucy for talking back to her like that. However, what stopped the Celestial Spirit was the determination and seriousness that Lucy was showcasing currently, nothing compared to the attitude that she usually showcase when she's mad..

Lucy was changing slowly but surely..

"You're gaining an backbone brat, I like that..! For that I'll help you without affecting you, but remember to not get overconfident with me or else I'll make sure to keep you humble..!" responded Aquarius with a dangerous smirk on her face and from her Jar she summons huge amounts of Water to support Juvia's attack. The Water Rotation along with Aquarius support became multiple times bigger and stronger that it began to push back Taka from where he was standing..

"You really think this will work against my Tekkai..!? Hah! This is nothing against the might of Rokushiki..!" exclaimed the long haired man with a cocky expression despite being pushed back by the force of the amplified Water Rotation..

"Juvia! grab my right hand..! Let's show him why you should never underestimate the natural forces of water..!" exclaimed Lucy as she extended her right hand towards Juvia, who slightly moved her gaze towards where Lucy's right hand was, not even thinking about it twice she uses her left hand and grasps Lucy's hand firmly..!

"Right..!" responded Juvia with a determine expression as both their hands were joined together, pointing at Taka who was still blocking the current attack. However, the Trinity Raven mage began to notice a sudden increase of Magic power surging from both Lucy and Juvia as he saw how both girls were beginning to light up as if they were joining their magic powers together..

Coming to that realization made his eyes go wide in slight fear..

"Is that Unison Raid Magic?! If they are planning to attack me with that then I highly doubt my Tekkai would withstand it..! I need to get out of their sight..! Soru..!" shouted Taka with urgency as he disappears from Lucy and Juvia's sight, thus making the Water Rotation collide with the nearest wall. Meanwhile Taka began to taunt them as he kept jumping around the room at hyper-sonic speeds..

"Even if you girls plan to attack with Unison Raid! I highly doubt you'll be able to land the attack with the speed I'm currently showcasing..!" stated Taka loudly as he kept moving around the room at blinding speeds..

"He's right Heartfilia..! As much Juvia hates to admit it our eyes can't keep up with that scumbag's speed..! It's too fast..!" stated the Water mage with frustration as she tried to follow Taka but it was resulting to be harder than thought it would be. However, Juvia noticed that Lucy didn't speak up as she had her eyes closed and was concentrating on something.. "Heartfilia..?"

"Juvia is right, our eyes might not be able to keep up with that kind of speed. But with Goku-kun teaching me how to sense and follow Ki, I'll be able to follow Taka's insane speed..! I just need a couple of seconds of concentration..!" thought Lucy with a determine expression as she kept her eyes closed and began to use her newly sensing abilities she unlocked through Goku's training. Lucy began to sense on Taka's Ki signature as she could see a mental image of how he was moving and how she was staring to see him clearly despite the speed he was moving on..

(A/N: This is similar to how Gohan was struggling to keep up with the fight between Yamcha and the Saibaman, he used his Ki sensing ability to get a clear view of what was truly happening..)

"There..!" thought the Celestial Mage as she opened her eyes and guided her arm along with Juvia's to where Taka was located, this of course surprised the Water mage since she didn't expect Lucy such thing "I have located him Juvia..! Let's unleash our ultimate attack..!"

"Right..!" exclaimed Juvia with determination as she channeled all her magic towards Lucy's magic, thus causing the two of them to light up brightly and create a massive golden blue magic circle in front of them..

"Unison Raid: Hydro Screw!" shouted both Lucy and Juvia at the same time as they unleashed a massive water vortex from the magic circle and shoots off at hyper-sonic speeds towards Taka, who's eyes went wide in fear at seeing the incoming attack nearing him at speeds that surpasses even his Soru..

"I-IMPOSSIBLE!" shouted the Trinity Raven member as he was hit head on by the attack that envelopes him with such force that it began to cut him in different parts of his body.. "H-How was she able to catch me at the speed that I was going?! Did I underestimate their abilities..?!"

The massive water vortex then crashes into the nearest wall which caused a massive shockwave that shook the entire first floor of the Tower of Valhalla, as the attack began to dissipate Lucy along with Aquarius and Juvia notice that Taka was laying on the floor unconscious thanks to the attack.

Lucy with the help of Juvia and Aquarius were able to defeat one of the Trinity Raven members..

"We did it..! We finally defeated that creep!" exclaimed tiredly Lucy with a smile as she took some deep breaths after using a great amount of her magic reserves in that Unison Raid..

"Indeed.." responded Juvia also somewhat tired from using a great amount of magic. After taking a small breather, the Water mage moved her gaze to where the Celestial Mage was with her spirit and spoke up "By the way Heartfilia, how do you know Unison Raid? Not even Juvia who is an S-Class Mage is able to do such advance techniques and yet you do.."

"W-Well.. I didn't have a great childhood back then so my only emotional support was my Celestial Spirits and books about Magic theories, I was fascinated to learn how there is so many theories that are yet to be tested or even discovered! That's when I found out about the theory of the union of two magic sources aka Unison Raid. I was aware that many priests or mages have wasted their entire lives trying to achieve Unison Raid without success so pulling it of on the first try was nothing but a miracle on itself..!" explained Lucy as she could still remember all those books she read about Magic theories back in her younger days, the only reason why she hasn't bothered to test them was because her Magic reserves was still small and she didn't have a proper partner to test them until now.. "So you have my thanks Juvia! Without you I wouldn't be able to defeat that guy by myself..!"

"Great! Now that you finished narrating your backstory about how much of a nerd you are when comes to Magic! Can you send me back to the Celestial Spirit World?!" exclaimed Aquarius with a comical angry expression which caught the attention of both Lucy and Juvia "I have a date to attend with Scorpio..!"

"Ugh fine..! Go back to the Celestial Spirit World..!" exclaimed the Celestial Mage with annoyance as she took out Aquarius key and summons her back to her world. With that out of the way, Lucy puts back her key in her waist and then looks at Juvia "We should get going and look for Gray! Who knows if he encounters a strong fighter like we did and its having trouble defeating them..!"

"Right..!" exclaimed the ex-Phantom Lord mage with a determine expression as she and Lucy left the room they were at and began their search to look for Gray..

Scene Change... Magic Council Meeting Chamber... Town of Era...

"Councilman Siegrain, to activate the Etherion Cannon and destroy the R-System you need to have at least six vote in agreement. So far you currently have five votes in agreement including mine and four votes that are against using Etherion. At this moment, Etherion won't be used unless one more Councilmen changes their vote..!" exclaimed the Chairman of the Magic Council towards everyone in the meeting room, specially Siegrain who was beginning to grow frustrated from the old fossils refusing to use the weapon..

"Do you even hear yourself Chairman?! Don't you see that the balance of the Magic World depends on using Etherion to destroy the R-System?!" exclaimed the blue-haired Councilmen with anger in his tone of voice towards Gran Doma, who kept his composure as he looks at Siegrain with a serious expression..

"Enough Councilman Siegrain..! This discussion has gone long enough, unless you get one more vote in agreement the Etherion won't be activated. We can discuss other solutions to solve the problem ahead.." responded Gran Doma calmly towards Siegrain, who got angry by his words and slams his desk to the point that it left a small dent from his strength..

"What other ways?! Sorry for my language but we are sitting on our assess 'discussing' about the fate of the Magic World when the moment to act is now!" shouted Siegrain fiercely towards every Council member, who were stunned by the blue-haired Councilmen words "Jellal Fernandez is trying to revive a dead man! And not just a mere dead man, it's the Black Wizard itself..! Tell me my fellow Council members, how are we supposed to tell the public that we failed to protect them from the resurrection of the Black Wizard?! The strongest and most evil wizard in history..!?"

"Councilmen Siegrain! Even if we used the Etherion Cannon we still don't know if it truly works! It hasn't been used in the last a hundred years..!" exclaimed one the Councilmen who disagrees with the usage of the Mass Destructive weapon..

Meanwhile the heated discussion between Siegrain and the other Council members that disagree using Etherion, we could see Ultear looking at the scene with a bored expression on her face. She has been in this room for the last hour and it was getting to the point that she already wanted to destroy the Council building in it's entirety. However, the Arc of Time mage couldn't do that until Siegrain reunites with Jellal and the Etherion is used so she needed to stay still. Another thing that she was concerned still was if Goku was still in the Tower of Valhalla trying to rescue Erza..

She just hopes that her Son-kun makes it out of there before Etherion goes off..

"Are you guys blind or something?! Isn't the revival of the Black Wizard, who is capable to ravage continents by himself enough to convince all of you to use the Etherion to prevent that from ever happening?!" stated Siegrain with a irritated expression towards his fellow council members who were beginning to sweat by his words..

"W-When you mention the Black Wizard, are you talking about the one from four hundred years ago..?!" asked the short male Councilmen with fear in his tone of voice towards Siegrain, who nodded at his question with a serious expression..

"That's right, Jellal Fernandez wants to use the R-System to revive the Black Wizard, Zeref! The Wizard who tampered with laws of the death and who participated in the Dragon Civil War four hundred years ago..!" exclaimed Siegrain loudly towards everyone on the room, who were stunned by the revelation and were quiet for a couple of seconds until everyone spoke up at the same time thus causing chaos in the room..

However, that chaos was slightly subdue by the Chairman as he use his court hammer to call for order..

"Councilman Siegrain..! How do you know about that information?!" commented Gran Doma with urgency in his tone of voice towards the blue-haired man who didn't said anything for a couple of seconds until he spoke up..

"Because unfortunately I personally know Jellal Fernandez in person, he's my evil brother who is trying to bring chaos into the world by reviving Zeref.." responded Siegrain with a 'conflicted' expression that turned into a determined one "Which is why I want to do everything in my power to stop him..!"

Everyone was quiet at the words that Siegrain just said and it left them wondering if what he said was even true or not. However, their thoughts were interrupted when Chairman suddenly spoke up..

"Councilman Siegrain, tell us everything that you know so far.." responded the Chairman with a dead calm voice as he was determine to know the entire truth..

Scene Change... Tower of Valhalla.. Fourth Floor..

In one of the many room of the fourth floor of the Tower of Valhalla, we could see both Natsu and the Owl Man engaging in a fast hand-to-hand combat in which both of them were not giving an inch in advantage. The Dragon Slayer was using his Ki aura to coat himself from the amplified attacks the Owl Man was delivering to him thanks to his Tekkai Kempo that allowed his punches and kicks to become as strong as Gajeel's Iron scales..

The Trinity Raven member went for a roundhouse kick which was blocked by Natsu's own roundhouse kick, thus causing a powerful shockwave that was felt throughout the room they were currently at. The Dragon Slayer smirked at this as he preformed a back flip and mid way he lights up his left foot with flames, ready to take the Owl Man off guard..

"Fire Dragon Foot Claw!"

"Tekkai!"

Despite the giant man activating his technique at the last moment, Natsu's Fire Dragon Foot Claw was able to push back the Owl Man a couple of meters which made him 'tch' in slight frustration. Meanwhile Natsu landed back into a fighting position, ready to go on the assault..

"He's good.. He's able to keep at my full strength which gave Black Steel Gajeel a run of its money! At this rate I might need to use the Kaio-Ken if I want to finish this fight once it for all..!" thought the Dragon Slayer with a serious expression as he looks at the Owl Man wiping the blood coming from his mouth after receiving the attack..

"Hou, I have to admit it Salamander you're really good when it comes to hand-to-hand combat! I'm even surprised you have been able to withstand my attacks amplified with Tekkai Kempo..!" said the Owl Man in a praising tone of voice towards Natsu, who raised an eyebrow as he was confused by the sudden praised. However, Natsu began to noticed that his opponent's magic jet pack was beginning to morph into multiple missiles launchers which got him on guard once again "However, I do wonder for hold long you can keep this up..! Missile Hou Hou!"

All of the sudden multiple magic missiles shoot off from the Owl man and were heading straight towards Natsu at super-sonic speeds. The Dragon Slayer smirked at the incoming attack and began to dodge every magic missile coming his way with finesse. However, what Natsu didn't expect was that the missiles that he dodge earlier began to follow him once again which began to annoy the Dragon Slayer..

And it didn't help that the Owl Man was controlling said missiles manually..

"Alright I had enough of this! Fire Dragon Roar!" shouted Natsu as he jumps back and launches from his mouth a massive wave of fire that consumed the magic missiles, thus creating a big explosion that shook the entire room to it's core..

However, what the Dragon Slayer didn't expect was that the Owl Man used the smoke as a distraction to appeared behind Natsu and began to open his mouth so widely that it was enough to swallow an entire human. Despite Natsu noticing what the Owl Man was planning to do, he was too late to move out of the way as he was completely swallowed by his opponent at insane speeds..

"H-He was able to eat Natsu so quickly..?!" exclaimed Happy with a trembling tone as he couldn't believe that his 'father' was eaten alive so easily..

Meanwhile, inside the Owl Man's body we could see the Dragon Slayer trying to find a way to escape either by trying to 'climb' from where he came from or punching his way out..

"My punches are being rendered useless in this nasty place..! And it doesn't help that his body organs inside are also as strong as an Iron Shell when he activates that annoying technique..!" said Natsu to himself with a annoyed expression as he began to think for a way he could get out. After a couple of seconds of thinking he came up with an idea as he uses his right thumb and presses on his heart pressure located in his chest "I didn't want to resort to this until I get to fight that Jellal guy but the situation calls for it..! Kaio-Ken..!"

The Dragon Slayer's Ki aura exploded into a wild red one that expanded the insides of the Owl Man which caused him to knee down in pain. However, Natsu didn't stop there as he began to launch a barrage of punches at hyper-sonic speeds and with so much force that he bypassed the defense that Tekkai Kempo provided. The Trinity Raven couldn't hold it any longer as he spits Natsu out of his body as he was covered with saliva which disgusted the pink-haired mage..

"That was the most disgusting experience I've ever went through..!" said Natsu with a disgusted expression as he tried to clean up himself..

"You..!? How the hell were you able to bypass the defense of my Tekkai Kempo?! It should be impossible to even do that or even get out of my body..!" exclaimed the Owl Man with a shocked expression as he wipes the blood coming from his mouth..

"Heh! Do you really think I'll be defeated in such pathetic way?!" responded Natsu with a savage grin as he activated his Kaio-Ken aura which caused his muscles to become slightly bigger than usual, followed by making the Owl Man slightly step back from the pressure he was feeling "Now let me show you the power of the Kaio-Ken..!"

Without wasting time, Natsu began to run at hyper-sonic speeds towards the Owl Man which stunned the assassin as he didn't expect such increase of speed and follows up by delivering powerful gut punch towards the Owl Man. The impact of the attack created a massive shockwave that shook the entire fourth floor of the Tower of Valhalla that it sends the Owl Man crashing into the nearest wall. As the dust began to settle down the Dragon Slayer notice that his opponent was completely knocked out which made him smirk triumphantly..

Natsu defeated the Owl Man by using the Kaio-Ken..

"You did it Natsu..! You defeated that Owl looking guy..!" exclaimed the Exceed happily as he ran towards where Natsu was standing as he deactivated his Kaio-Ken so he could relax his body..

"Yeah.. That guy was nothing against my strength..!" responded Natsu somewhat tired as he sat down on the floor to relax for a bit after using the Kaio-Ken.. "I need to take a small breather before I head over to fight that Jellal guy.. Something tells me that I'm going to need all my strength to battle him.."

Scene Change... Magic Council Meeting Chamber... Town of Era...

After a couple of minutes of Siegrain explaining his situation to his fellow councilmen about how he knew his 'brother's' evil plan and how he plans to revive the Black Wizard. The Chairman of the Magic Council decided to do a second round of voting to decide the use of the Etherion Cannon to destroy the R-System..

To nobody's surprise the majority voted to use the Etherion Cannon meanwhile one Council member voted against it..

"It has been decided, with eight votes voting in favor and one voting against it. The Magic Council has decided to use the Etherion Cannon to destroy the Tower of Valhalla to prevent the revival of the Black Wizard..!" exclaimed loudly Gran Doma towards everyone as he showcases the results of the most recent voting they went through. Siegrain despite feeling relief that he was able to convince these old farts to use Etherion, he notice that the only who voted against it was shaking his head in disappointment so he decided to speak up and try to convince him why this was a good idea..

"Councilman Yajima, I understand that you don't want to use the Etherion Cannon because of the damage it could cause around the coastline. However, you must understand that this is the only way to stop Jellal Fernandez from reviving the Black Wizard.." said the blue haired Council member calmly towards the short man, who looks back at Siegrain with a serious expression..

"Trust me, I'm well aware of what the revival of the Black Wizard truly represents and I see why the other Council members decided to vote in agreement.." responded back Yajima with a serious tone of voice "I just hope you take responsibility of what happens after the Etherion destroys the R-System, Siegrain.."

"Don't worry Councilman Yajima, I'll make sure the blame lands only on me if the press comes to ask questions.." stated Siegrain with a 'determined' expression towards the older councilman who still wasn't convinced by Siegrain's words. However, Yajima's train of thoughts was interrupted when the Chairman spoke up to gather everyone's attention..

"The Etherion Cannon will be launched in the next forty minutes, so I recommend to take a small break and be ready when it gets launched..!" exclaimed Gran Doma towards every Council member as they nodded and went on different directions to take their break. In one of the many hallways, we could see Siegrain walking by himself with a dark smirk forming in his face, satisfied that his plan was going in the right direction..

"Soon I'll finally be able to drop the victim act and show these old geezers my true self! They don't know what's coming to them when Etherion gets launched..!" thought Siegrain darkly as he kept walking towards his chamber to take a small break. However, his train of thought was interrupted when he sensed a certain Arc of Time mage coming from behind..

"It's time Siegrain.." stated Ultear calmly towards the blue-haired council member as he turned around to face her "Everything that you have been building up for the last eight years will finally come to fruition, the Black Wizard will finally awake from his slumber.."

"Indeed, a new era in the Magic World will began soon.." responded Siegrain with a dark smile towards Ultear but then his face formed into a serious expression as he spoke up once more "However, I can't help but to feel that you have been hesitating in some of your decision making Ultear. Specially when it came to the first round of voting when I heard some hesitation in your tone of voice. Could it be that Son Goku, who is currently in the Tower of Valhalla trying to save Erza Scarlet is affecting your decision making..?"

"So he finally notice it huh.." thought Ultear to herself as she gave a sigh and spoke back to Siegrain "Don't get it wrong Siegrain, just because I'm slightly worried that Son-kun is at the Tower doesn't mean I'm going against the plan to revive the Black Wizard. I've followed you all these years to accomplish this and it would be foolish of me to betray you in the last moment when I also yearn for the revival of Zeref.."

"I'm well aware of your goals Ultear, the idea of you betraying me never passed through my mind so don't be concerned.." responded Siegrain with a monotone voice "Either way, Son Goku wanted to get involved in our plans and these are the consequences of it. Just hope he's able to get out of the Tower alive in less than forty minutes before Etherion goes off.."

"Hmm.." hummed the Arc of Time mage with her arms crossed as she looks at one of the windows where the moon was shining brightly "I hope you are able to survive a blast strong enough to wipe out a country Son-kun..! I don't think I would be able to forgive myself if one of the few people in this world that I love dies because of my actions..!"

Scene Change.. Tower of Valhalla.. Fifth Floor.. 35 Minutes before Etherion goes off..

In the hallways of the fifth floor we could see the Ice-maker mage running around at super-sonic speeds looking for Natsu so they could gather together and fight the administrator. Gray still remembers how the one responsible mentioned that he wanted either Erza or Goku to achieve paradise and he didn't want to find out the consequences of giving that person Erza or Goku..

He will stop him from ever achieving that goal which is why he needed to find Natsu so he can join them to fight the administrator..

Gray also began to remember when Erza arrived to Fairy Tail for the first time, clothes completely ruined and with an eye-patch covering her damaged eye which was replaced later down the line. The Ice-maker mage at the time he thought Erza was a stuck up person with a bossy personality trying to follow every rule of the book. However, all of that changed when he found her crying near the river in Magnolia and had a conversation about how she needed to act a certain way so she can't be hurt by anyone..

That's how he met the real Erza and now that he knows her true backstory he will do anything to keep her safe from the administrator..

"The administrator wants either Erza or Goku as a sacrifice to achieve paradise huh..? What a load of crap!" thought Gray angrily as he kept running around the hallways of the fifth floor "I'll make sure to stop him from ever achieving that stupid goal! I just need to find Natsu so we can reunite with the others and aid Goku and Erza, who most likely are about to fight the administrator!"

However, his train of thoughts were suddenly interrupted when the Ice-maker mage sensed Simon who was ahead of him. Not wanting to waste time, Gray picks up the pace and arrives next to Simon who was slightly surprised by his sudden arrival..

"What are you doing here Simon and where's Sho? I thought you were going to reunited with your group.." asked the Ice-maker mage with a confused tone as he was curious about Simon being all the way here..

"I left Sho with the others so he can take care of them since they were unconscious for some reason, meanwhile I'll help you guys look for Salamander and then head up to fight Jellal..!" responded Simon with a determine expression towards Gray who nodded at his explanation..

"I see.. With you joining us we have better chances to defeat the administrator!" commented Gray with a confident smile on his face "Do you have a clue where Natsu could be going..?"

"Most likely Salamander must be heading to the final floor where Jellal is located.." said the eye-patch man with a serious tone towards the Ice-maker..

"Alright then, let's increase our pace so we can catch up with that idiot as soon as possible;e..!" responded the black-haired mage as he and Simon began to run fast so they can find Natsu quicker. As they reach a big room that leads to the next floor, both mages stopped all of the sudden as they sensed another presence appearing out of nowhere which caused both of them to be on guard..

Ahead of them, both Gray and Simon saw the one responsible of that presence and it was a girl who has pink hair similar to Natsu's. She was wearing a white kimono that made her look elegant, however what made her stand out the most was the sword that was sheathed on her hip..

"Welcome to my domain strangers, my name is Ikagura. I'm a member of Trinity Raven and I'm here to stop anyone from going to the upper floors of the Tower of Valhalla.." responded pink-haired girl who is known as Ikagura with a 'smile' on her face that sends chills down their spine.. "So don't be surprised if both of you end up being cut in half if you both take anymore steps.."

"I like to see you try..!" responded Gray confidently as he summons with his Ice-maker magic his lance, Areadbhar. Then he follows up by pointing at her with his weapon "I don't care if you're a women..! Either you move out of our way or I'll force you to get out..!"

"My my..! You have some bad manners. And for that I'm going to educate you in how to talk to a women..!" responded Ikagura with a sinister smile as she began to lift up her right leg, which made both Gray and Simon get into fighting position "Ryankaku"

In a swift kick motion, Ikagura kicks the air with such force that it creates an air blade that was heading towards Gray and Simon at blinding speeds. The Ice-maker with his trained reflexes pushes Simon and himself down to the floor so they can evade the incoming attack. Gray turned his head to where the attack was going and he saw how it collided it the wall, which caused a powerful boom that was heard through the entire room. But what shocked the Ice-maker the most was that the air blade was able to cut the wall to the point he could see the outside of the Tower..

"Incredible...! How is she able to create an powerful air blade by just kicking the air?!" commented Simon with a surprised expression as he couldn't believe what he saw "Could she be an Air mage?!"

"I don't think so.. I wasn't able to sense any magic from that attack.." responded Gray with a serious expression as he stands up and looks at Ikagura with a glare "Is it possible that she trained her body to surpass her human limitations that she can create air blades with a kick..?"

"You're smarter than I thought Ice mage.." responded the Trinity Raven member with a calm smile as she looks at Gray "I have trained my body to the point of breaking my human limitations, which is why I'm able to create air blade with a simple kick motion. But that's not everything, I still have more abilities that are as impressive as the Ryankaku.."

"So she actually trained her body to surpass her limits as a human, but from what I can see she doesn't know how to use Ki like we do..!" thought Gray as he began to form a confident smirk on his face as he looks at Ikagura once again.. "I'll be honest, being able to create air blades with a simple kick is impressive! However, that's nothing compared to what I can do..! Let me show you just how powerful I am..!"

"Then let's get stared Ice mage..! Geppou..!" exclaimed Ikagura with a small smirk as she disappeared from Gray's eyesight and began to jump around the room at blinding speeds, each jump created a powerful boom that was heard around them. The Ice-maker mage closed his eyes and concentrate on sensing Ikagura's Ki pattern and in a few seconds he manage to locate her..

"Found you!" shouted Gray as he jumps to where Ikagura was located and with Areadbhar tries to stab her. However, the pink-haired girl saw this coming and with her sword she collides her weapon with Gray's, which caused a shockwave that shook the entire room they were currently located..

"Impressive, not everyone is able to keep up with my Geppou..!" said the Trinity Raven member in a praising tone towards Gray "However, don't think this is the full extend of my power..!"

With that, the two fighters separated themselves as they land on the floor on opposite sides of the room. Without wasting time, both Gray and Ikagura rush to their direction at the same time ready to land a decisive strike. A loud 'clang' was heard when both of them collided their attacks at the same time and began to engage in a fast weapon-to-weapon combat in which both Gray and Ikagura were equally even. The Ice-maker mage went for a quick thrust with his Ice lance, unfortunately Ikagura dodged it swiftly and in a quick motion uses her sword to deliver three slashes on different parts of Gray's body which made him grunt in annoyance as he jumps back to rethink for a strategy..

"It's no use, she's way better than me when it comes to the use of a weapon! I need to fight her on with my Full Contact Karate and my Ice-make mag-" Gray's thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he suddenly noticed Ikagura already in front of him ready to attack him.. "Shit! How did she moved so fast that my sensing ability didn't catch her?!"

"Ratio Knife..!" exclaimed Ikagura calmly as she slashes Gray's right waist side which created a big bloody gash that made Gray grunt in pain. However, what he didn't expect was electricity going through his body that he began to yell in pain as he stumbles down on the floor..

"Gray..!" shouted Simon in concern as he was watching the fight from the sidelines..

"She also has lightning magic as well..!?" said Gray to himself with a shocked expression as he looks at Ikagura who was looking back with a smug expression "How were you able to bypass my sensing abilities..?!"

"Let's just say that we Trinity Raven members also trained to how to suppress our magic power to the point that we can't be detected. A neat ability to confuse our opponents when we bypass their sensory abilities.." responded Ikagura calmly as she begins to draw out her sword slowly "Now then, are you ready to die by my sword..?"

"Like hell I will..!" exclaimed back Gray as he stands up despite feeling the pain from his side waist gash. Not wanting to waste time, the Ice-maker mage uses his right thumb and presses on his heart pressure point he doesn't feel any damage for the next two hours.. "I wanted to defeat you without relying to this, but we are on running time so I'm going to stop holding back and defeat you right here and now..!"

"Oh my! Do you really think that I believe that you're holding back despite looking that you're body is about to give up..?" responded Ikagura in a mocking tone of voice, not believing what Gray was saying and not realizing that his muscles were beginning to get bigger than usual..

"Trust me, you wouldn't be able to land a scratch on me when I do this! Kaio-Ken!" shouted Gray as he unleashes a powerful red aura around his body, follow by making his muscles bigger than usual. His red aura created powerful wind gust in the room that it made both Ikagura and Simon to cover their face..

"Incredible..! I can feel the pressure of his aura despite not being close..! Just what kind of ability is that?!" thought Simon with a bewildered expression as he couldn't believe such ability existed

"What is this ability?! All of the sudden his energy went off the charts!" thought the pink-haired girl in confusion and slight fear since she has never seen an ability from an Ice mage that increases someone's strength..

"Time to end this..!" responded Gray with a serious expression as he re-appears in front of Ikagura, which startled her to the core since she didn't expect the speed that Gray was currently showcasing "First Stance: Black Tortoise!"

The moment Gray's fist made contact to Ikagura's stomach it created a powerful shock-wave that pushed Simon back followed by created cracks around the room. The pink haired girl was launched to the other side of the room as she spits blood from her mouth after receiving such a attack..

"Impossible..! Not even my Tekkai was able to decrease the force of that punch! Was he holding back this much power?!" said Ikagura to herself in disbelief as she notice that she was about to crash on the wall. However, what she didn't expect was Gray appearing above her ready to deliver another attack..

"2nd Stance: Phoenix Kick..!" exclaimed the Ice-maker mage as he deliver a devastating kick to Ikagura's stomach that sends her crashing to the floor with such force that not only it created a crater below her, but it made her bounce up thus giving Gray an opportunity to continue on his assault..

"3rd Stance: White Tiger's Dance!" said Gray as he began to deliver a combo of strikes composed of multiple high kicks and low kicks all around Ikagura's body at hyper-sonic speeds. Each strike was making the Trinity Raven member to began to lose consciousness..

"I'm staring to lose consciousness! To believe that he was holding back this much power..!" thought Ikagura as she felt her view getting blurry from the pain she was feeling a long with the attacks she was receiving from Gray "Just what kind of monsters do Fairy Tail have?!"

"Now for the finisher! 4th Stance: Blue Dragon's Storm!" shouted the Ice-maker mage with all his might as he concentrated all his amplified Ki into his right leg and unleashes a powerful wind blast that morphed into a dragon, which shocked the almost unconscious Ikagura as she receives the attack head on. The attack sends her flying at blinding speeds to the nearest wall and when she crashes it made the entire room tremble violently along with kicking up massive dust clouds..

As the dust began to die down, it revealed Ikagura completely unconscious as she falls down from the crater to the floor. Gray defeated one the Trinity Raven members with no issues despite his gash on his waist..

The Ice-maker mage powers down from his Kaio-Ken to allow his body to relax as he began to stumble from the tiredness he was feeling. However, before Gray could fall to the floor he was caught by Simon who grabbed his right arm and puts it around his shoulder so he can support him..

"That was incredible. I knew that you guys were strong according to the reports from the Phantom Lord conflict but I've never expected you to be this powerful. It was like seeing an S-Class mage going all out.." commented Simon as he helps the Ice-maker to stand up meanwhile Gray uses his available arm and freezes his gash on his waist so it doesn't leak anymore blood..

"W-Well what can I say, training does wonders to you..!" responded Gray with a cheeky grin but then suddenly flinches from the freezing his gash despite having Pain Killer activated..

"We need to find a safe room where we can put bandages on you, that gash could get infected if not treated soon.." stated the eye-patch man with a serious face as he looks at the injury Ikagura provided to the Ice-maker mage..

"I-It's fine..! At the moment I don't feel any pain but that will not last long so we need to find Goku and Erza soon after we find Natsu..!" responded the black-haired mage trying to reassure Simon by moving away from him to show him that he can walk. Simon looks at Gray with a doubting expression for a few seconds until he responded..

"Very well then, let's go find Salamander first and then we catch up with Goku-san and Erza before thing go south.." stated Simon with a determine expression towards Gray who nodded back at his statement.

"Right..! Let's go!" responded back the Ice-maker mage as he and Simon left the room at fast speeds so they can continue their search for the Dragon Slayer..

Scene Change... Tower of Valhalla.. Seventh Floor.. 30 Minutes before Etherion goes off..

In one of the main hallways of the Seventh Floor, we could see both Goku and Erza running around the hallway looking for the next set of stairs that will lead them to the next floor which means one step closer to Jellal's throne room. However, they needed to get there as soon as possible before the time limit ends which is why Erza spoke up towards the Saiyan God as she stops running to get his attention..

"Goku-kun, do you think you can sense Jellal's presence now that we almost are halfway through the Tower?" asked Erza with a serious expression towards Goku who got into a thinking position for a moment..

"Hmmm.. Although I still feel the Tower messing with my sensing abilities, I might be able to latch on to his energy now that we are closer.." responded Goku sincerely as he puts both of his fingers to his forehead and began to focus on Jellal's Ki. At first he could only feel the Tower's presence being as strong as ever but after a few seconds of sensing something to lock on, the Saiyan raised on Earth suddenly was able to sense a powerful and yet dark Ki at the top of the Tower..

He found Jellal's energy signature..

"I found him Erza-chan! I found Jellal's Ki and it's all the way at the top of the Tower..!" responded the Saiyan God with a smile on his face as he looks at Erza who sigh in relief that Goku was able to find him..

"Then let's not waste time here and teleport us to where Jellal is..!" stated the red-haired mage as she grabs Goku from the shoulder, readying herself to teleport to where her former childhood friend is located..

"Are you sure you're ready to confront him Erza-chan..? He once was your childhood friend and I wouldn't be surprised if you freeze on the spot or refuse to fight him. So it's understandable if you don't want to come with me.." asked Goku with a concerned expression towards Erza, who began to grip on his shoulder tightly as she shakes her head in denial "Erza-chan...?"

"If I don't confront him tonight everyone in here will die when the time limit ends..! I can't allow that to happen! Which is why I need to defeat him regardless of my feelings intervening..!" stated Erza with a 'determined' expression towards the Saiyan God "He needs to go down along with this cursed Tower..!"

"..Very well then, I'll support whatever decision you make in this upcoming battle..!" responded Goku with a neutral expression as he locks into Jellal's Ki once again "Alright Erza-chan hold on tight..!"

Without wasting time, the Saiyan God along with Erza uses Instant Transmission to teleport to the throne room where Jellal was currently located. In a instant both Goku and Erza appeared in the dark throne room where they see a giant crystal illuminating the room, beyond that they both saw a throne chair where a unknown individual was sitting down playing chess..

That unknown man was Jellal Fernandez..

"Well, Well... It seems that I got my first invitees into my throne room and it's no less than the people who I need to achieve paradise.." stated Jellal with an amused tone as he stood up from his throne chair and began to make his way to where Goku and Erza were standing, which made the two of them wary of his movement..

"So.. You must be Jellal? The administrator of this Tower and the one responsible for all of this.." asked Goku with a serious expression as he began to sense Jellal's Ki "He as strong as Jose Porla that's for sure. I wonder what abilities he might have under his sleeve.."

"That's right Son Goku, I'm Jellal Fernandez and I'm the one responsible of creating the Tower of Valhalla to achieve paradise and you along with Erza are the key unlock it..!" responded the blue haired man with a unhinged tone of voice as he looks at his opponents..

"Before we start I wanted to ask one thing, why are you doing all of this Jellal..? Why go so far to revive the Black Wizard..?!" exclaimed Erza loudly towards her childhood friend who began to laugh maniacally at the question..

"Like I said eight years ago, the revival of the Black Wizard will bring the Magic World into the paradise that we all deserve..!" responded Jellal with a unhinged smile as he took off his hoodie to reveal his face and hair, this shocked Goku to it's core as he didn't expect this individual to look similar to a certain Wizard Saint..

"Siegrain-san..?!" exclaimed the Saiyan God with a shocked expression as he couldn't believe that Jellal looks exactly like Siegrain "But that's impossible! Siegrain at the moment should be in town of Era where Ul-chan is! But for some reason he also emits a similar Ki signature like Siegrain but darker.."

"Siegrain huh? I'm not surprised that you thought of my younger 'brother' but that is expected when twins have a similar looking face.." stated Jellal with a unhinged smile as he began to unleash some of his Magic energy, thus causing the throne to tremble which made both Goku and Erza get into fighting position from the pressure they were feeling "But enough about that! You both came here to take me down and prevent a true change for the Magic World, so come at me..!"

Before Goku could speak up, Erza began to slowly make her way to where Jellal was standing and began to take out her sword and point it at him..

"I'll be fighting him first Goku-kun..!" stated the red-haired mage loudly towards the Saiyan God as he was slightly startled by her request "I like mentioned earlier, he needs to be taken down and that responsibility lands on me! Besides it was my fault to involved you all in this affair that nobody should be in first place..! So don't you dare to get involved unless the situation calls.."

"Erza-chan.." said the Saiyan God softly as he looks at the determine expression that Erza was showcasing, he knew that Erza still wasn't at the level of Jellal from what he can sense so far. But who was he to get involved when she's determine to fight her childhood friend one-on-one without someone interrupting, it reminded him of the moments where he would ask his friends not to get involved in his fights "Alright, I'll let you fight him first but be careful! He's as strong as Jose Porla so be on your guard..!"

"Thank you Goku-kun, I'll keep in mind of that..!" responded Erza with a soft smile that forms into a serious expression as she glares at Jellal who keeps looking at her with a unhinged smile.. "Now, let's end this once it for all Jellal. You will fall along with this cursed tower..!"

"We'll see about that my dear Erza. You will learn just how outmatched you are against me..!" responded Jellal still keeping his unhinged smile as he gets into a fighting position ready to fight and kill his own childhood friend..

A tragic battle between childhood friends was about to commence..

And cut! Damn this is another lengthy chapter that took mad long to right but at least I was able to finish it before the month ends hahaha. I know some people will be wondering why there was almost no appearances of Goku until the end of the chapter when this story is supposed to be about him, well I want the other characters like Lucy, Gray, Natsu, Juvia and even Erza to stand out and how Goku's influence them has slightly changed them as time passes by and how strong they have become. So this chapter was great for me to showcase them in these battles they just had, but don't worry next chapter will be Goku more involved with the situation of Jellal..!

Now that's out of the way let's go over some of the changes I've went through compared to the original chapter..

1. Extended conversations between Siegrain and the Magic Council members..

2. Natsu not even using the Kaio-Ken to defeat Wally and Millianna as he only needed his base power..

3. Rokushiki aka the Six Powers makes a return in the Remake of this story..! Those abilities will be more involved in the story in later chapters..

4. Lucy and Juvia still are at odds at each other when it comes to conquering Goku's heart. However, that doesn't mean that Juvia truly hates Lucy when she's trying to gain brownie points to look good when she joins Fairy Tail..

5. Lucy compared to the Original Manga and the original Golden Fairy story is a book nerd when it comes to Magic Theories. This will play a role later in the story when it comes to things like Unison Raid or even the Black Flash that Erza preformed against Aria..

6. Natsu didn't need to use the Kaio-Ken x2 against the Owl Man when just a normal Kaio-Ken was enough to defeat him, my power scaling back then was in the gutter so I'm correcting it as you can see so far..

7. Gray absolutely destroyed Ikagura when he activated his Kaio-Ken and used his Full Contact Karate abilities, the reason why he hold back is because Goku's habits of holding back are beginning to rub on him hahaha..

Well hope you guys like the chapter and let me know in the reviews what you think! Follow or Favorite this story if you want to see what happens next! I hope I can bring you guys the next chapter soon! Have a good day and I'll see y'all next time..!

Ja-ne!
