Everyone remained silent and looked at Bols. Still at his feet, the ashes were eventually scattered by a gust of wind. Thus, nothing remained of Enshinn except his teigu. Wild Hunt had just lost one of its members.

"How is that possible?" Cosmina asked. "He killed him?"

Seeing that the situation was disadvantageous to him, Syura found it essential to stop having fun with his prey.

"You asked for it." He assured, while activating his teigu. "I'm going to send you to another dimension! SHAM... !"

" FIRE DRAGON'S IRON PUNCH ! "

Before he could understand what was happening, a figure fell right above Syura, while a fist smashed against his face. Then feeling his feet lift off the ground, he was literally thrown against the trunk of a tree, which broke in two without the slightest problem.

"What…?" the members of Wild Hunt wondered, turning to their leader.

"You?" the Jaegers said, recognizing the newcomer.

"Good job, Natsu." Happy praised, flying over the stage. "You beat him in one punch."

Seeing the man now standing in front of him, Wave muttered.

" Salamander ? "

"Natsu?" Bols wondered, not even noticing that he had followed him here.

"So, I guess you're Wild Hunt." Natsu understood, staring at Champ and Izou. "The guys who enjoy killing people for fun."

Then, looking at the Jaegers one by one, his gaze fell on Wendy, as he saw her many injuries.

" Wendy ? "

"I… I'll leave the rest to you, Natsu." The girl assured.

Having no more strength then, she felt her eyes closing. Then, she let her body stop working, and she could have fallen to the ground, if Seryu had not stopped her in time.

" Wendy ! " Natsu repeated.

Suddenly hit by a sphere of ice, the man found himself with his lower body completely frozen.

"Tsss, as if we were going to let a member of Night Raid complicate our affairs on top of everything else." Champ growled. "Wait your turn, we'll kill you after we execute this kid."

"You hurt Wendy?" Natsu questioned, his gaze lowered.

Then heating up his body, he surprised Champ by starting to melt the ice covering his legs.

" W … What ? "

"You're going to pay for this."

Setting his body ablaze, he quickly melted everything around him. Feeling a wind of heat whip his face, Wave preferred to move away from him.

"Wow, what power!"

Jumping backwards, Izou made several jumps until he found himself on the roof of a house.

"Attacking without any strategy is impossible now." He remarked, beginning to lose confidence in their victory. "The enemies are growing in number."

"Bastard!" Giry suddenly roared, standing up. "Where is that damn Wave? I'm going to atomize him."

I also noticed, Cosmina finally realized Natsu's presence.

"Hey but... he's a guy from Night Raid."

"Huh?" Giry said. "But what is he doing here?"

"That's exactly the question I was going to ask." A voice roared.

Flying over the scene, a huge ray was seen in the sky, as it carried the members of Night Raid on its back.

"Natsu, be sure that we will have another discussion together." Najenda assured him.

" Night Raid ? " Said Wave.

"Am I hallucinating?" Giry wanted to know. "What are they doing here?"

"Sister!" Murmured Kurome, watching Akame.

Seeing a face that was familiar to him, Gajeel suddenly dropped from the stingray and was the first to join the fight.

" IRON DRAGON'S CLUB ! "

Transforming his arm into a metal pillar, he then extended it and aimed it at Run. However, the Jaeger didn't even need to dodge it for the attack to go around him to hit Champ's face, who was about to hit him in the back. Seeing the clown being thrown backwards, Run was stunned.

"Hey, Angel-guy!" Gajeel called out, landing next to him. "We still have a score to settle, the two of us! However, today, we happen to have the same opponent! Therefore, you better not die in this battle! I'll kick your ass later."

" What ? "

" Asshole ! " Roared Champ, getting up.

However, he suddenly lost all desire for revenge, seeing Run and Gajeel facing him.

"I suggest we finish this quickly." Gajeel suggested. "The first one to catch him can kill him! And then we'll fight each other."

"No way! I don't need you for that." Run retorted. "Let me kill this guy."

"Night Raid!" Cosmina roared, positioning her microphone in front of her mouth. "If you came to hear my fabulous voice... know that you will not be disappointed."

Preparing to sing, she was however forced to back away as soon as a shot was aimed at her. Jumping back, she was then thrown to the side, as the shot exploded upon hitting the ground.

"Damn it!" Mine growled. "I missed it."

"Akame, Leone, Tatsumi! Forward!" Najenda ordered them. "Mine, keep shooting! Lubbock, prepare your threads and block any attack that comes our way! Chelsea, you infiltrate the enemy and try to kill one by surprise."

"Okay!" The six warriors assured.

Jumping like this, without hesitation, Leone and Tatsumi were followed by Akame, who had to be helped by Lily to land on the ground, without breaking her legs.

"Where do you want me to put you?" the Exceed asked.

Looking first at Kurome who continued to stare at her, Akame had to make an effort to stop their old quarrel from taking over.

"Over there!" She indicated, pointing at Izou with her finger.

" Okay ! "

"Huh?" The man said, looking up at them. "Akame herself? What a blessing! I'm actually flattered that you came to me."

However, he lost his smile, seeing Lily take his warrior form. Then grabbing Akame, he threw her with all his strength towards the man. Thus, shooting like a cannonball, Akame then took out her saber and smashed it against Izou's weapon.

Having barely had the reflex to protect himself, the samurai nevertheless felt himself recoil under the power of the impact.

"I have to say it's a smashing entrance."

"Shut up and fight."

"What's going on?" Wave wanted to know, looking around to see Night Raid arriving to fight Wild Hunt.

Then feeling something touch his arm, he suddenly let out a cry of pain, while a liquid had managed to destroy his armor at that precise location.

"Tsss! You've ruined all my fun." Giry remarked. "So I'll take my time making you suffer."

"In your dreams."

Running towards him, Leone quickly found herself in front of his imposing body.

" That … ? "

Before he could say more, Leone landed a powerful palm strike to his chin, causing his jaw to snap. Then she followed up with a devastating punch that landed right on the man's stomach.

Giry could consider himself lucky to have very thick muscles, because that kind of punch would have been enough to kill a normally built man. For his part, Giry only took a few steps back, while one of his teeth had broken.

" You little ... "

A kick then knocked him to the ground, while Leone snickered.

"Night Raid will never be dominated by a bunch of losers like you."

"I've got you!" Wave suddenly said, grabbing her arm.

"Huh?" Leone said, turning to him. "What are you doing?"

"As a member of Night Raid, I arrest you on the spot! Surrender without resistance."

Listening to him, Leone suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha! How funny you are! You really remind me of Tatsumi."

"Should I take that as a compliment?" Tatsumi wanted to know, not far from her.

"Stop making fun of me." Wave ordered them. "We are enemies and…"

Being silenced by a punch from the blonde, who also knocked him to the ground, he began to spit saliva, while Leone affirmed in a cold voice.

"I advise you to use your brain! If I had wanted you dead, I would have let that big oaf kill you, before taking care of him! For now, we are not enemies."

"Grrr! What are you talking about?" Wave got angry.

Then getting up, he got into a fighting stance, all the while asserting.

"I am a member of the Jaegers! My goal is to ensure peace within the empire! It is therefore my duty to stop you without delay."

"If you get in my way, I'll have to kill you." Leone remarked.

"I'm not afraid to play with death."

"Okay, in that case…" Leone began.

"Leone." Tatsumi suddenly stopped her. "NOOOOO!"

" Huh ? "

"Don't kill him." He implored, looking at Wave. "He's not a bad person! He's like Bols."

" That … ? Tatsumi ? " Said Wave.

"Damn it, Wave! When are you finally going to open your eyes and understand reality? This empire is falling into chaos, and you know it very well! So why are you so determined to stop us? Are you an idiot?"

"Grrr! Shut up! I have no lessons to learn from you! I know full well that nothing is holy in this empire! However, this is just a bad time! With our efforts, we can bring peace back here."

"Peace? Are you blind or what?" Tatsumi questioned, pointing at Wild Hunt. "You really hope to bring peace to this country while collaborating with them? The Prime Minister sent them specifically to kill people so that we would come and fight them! Do you think it's normal to do that?"

"This would never have happened if Night Raid hadn't appeared."

"BAKAYARO! Night Raid would never have appeared if corruption wasn't rampant! Just like you, we stand for justice, on our side! And if you haven't seen it yet, all we did was get rid of all the big scum in this city."

"By killing them? Well done for setting an example."

"Because you have never killed a single one of your opponents? We know about all your activities since the creation of your group! And I'm not even talking about what Esdeath did just before that."

Gritting his teeth, Wave could only think that he was completely right. Yet, deep down, he hoped that Tatsumi was wrong. Yes, he really hoped to be on the right side and bring peace to the empire.

"SHUT UP!" He roared, shaking his head. "I don't want to hear you anymore! You're nothing but a traitor, Tatsumi! A traitor who betrayed Esdeath!"

Then running towards him, he ordered him.

"See you immediately, Night Raid!"

" Wave ! STOP ! "

Seeing him do this, Bols suddenly thought it was a good idea to react. Seeing Wave stop, his comrade affirmed.

"Wave, don't be reckless! In truth, these guys are just like us."

"What do you mean 'like us'? That's impossible! Don't you remember? They're our enemies."

"They are not as we thought." Bols retorted. "The proof... I am alive! They did not kill me! They just made me a prisoner of war! And, in all this time, I have not been tortured in any way as Esdeath would have done to a prisoner! Furthermore, and I knew this from the beginning, it is the Empire itself that is the cause of the evil."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"The situation seems very strange," Lubbock remarked, trying to understand their conversation.

"Whatever!" Najenda retorted, as she watched the others fight Wild Hunt. "Let's kill Wild Hunt... try to get their teigus... and leave! If the Jaegers decide to stay inactive, let's take advantage of it."

As she searched for a target with her gaze, Mine ended up simply seeing an old acquaintance.

"Her?" She mumbled, recognizing Seryu.

Immediately thinking of Scheele and the psychotic way Seryu had behaved in order to kill her, Mine immediately prepared to target her.

"For the empire, it is better to know her dead."

Yet, just as she was about to shoot, she was suddenly surprised by a gesture from the young woman. Despite her injuries, Seryu was simply moving Wendy to a hiding place so that she would be safe from any attack.

"What is she doing?" She wondered.

However, eventually shaking her face, she targeted her again and prepared to shoot.

" Scheele, I will avenge you! "

" Mine, stop ! "

Surprised once again, the sniper looked at Najenda, who had her back turned to her.

" Quoi ? "

"I know how you feel about that woman." Her boss assured her. "However, just this once, I would ask you not to kill her."

"What? Is this a joke?"

"Mine... if you fire at her now, then the other Jaegers might join forces with Wild Hunt to fight against us! This is definitely not the time to have two opponents to fight, when we have no real plan."

"Yes, but…" Mine began, still staring at Seryu.

" No, I have to kill her! I have to kill her! I have to kill her! "

Unaware of the danger that loomed over her, Seryu continued to carry Wendy to a nearby dwelling to hide her. However, the task was difficult as she only had one arm left and one of her legs forced her to limp.

In any case, seeing her too, Cosmina was the one who landed right in front of her.

" Hello, Justice's girl ! How are you ? "

Stopping, Seryu could only glare at her, unable to do better.

"Hahaha, poor thing! You really look pathetic! Why are you so stupid? If you had accepted our generous offer, all this would never have happened."

"Shut up! I didn't ask you for anything! I would never betray my friends to work with a bitch like you."

"Tsss! I see you've made your choice." Cosmina said, losing her smile. "Honestly, I wouldn't mind becoming friends with you! But since you refuse to use your brain..."

Then, displaying a sweet smile, she held her microphone in the air, before starting to sing. Immediately, covering her ears, Seryu could only scream as she felt the sound waves destroy her entire body.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

"You're going to die! Die! Die! DIEEEEEEE..."

Then feeling a huge figure approaching her from behind, Cosmina could only turn around to see a huge jaw in front of her face.

" That … ? "

Swallowed in one bite, the singer disappeared into Koro's mouth. No longer having the energy to maintain his Berserk mode, the teigu had simply returned to his previous form, less costly in energy, and had then charged Cosmina before swallowing her. At least, he hoped to recover energy thanks to her.

Seeing his opponent being swallowed up, Seryu could only breathe a sigh of relief, before letting himself fall to the ground.

"Good boy!" She assured him.

About to run towards her to help her, the teigu suddenly felt his body swell like a frog's belly.

"Hmm?" Seryu said, seeing him triple in size. "But what...?"

Trying to resist, the dog ended up exploding, creating a huge explosion of blood. Sprayed all over, Seryu's eyes widened, while staring at the person standing in front of her.

"Stupid dog!" Cosmina roared, her body covered in blood and drool. "Ew, that's disgusting."

" Koro … ? How … ? "

"Bitch! Did you really think your stupid dog was going to manage to eat me? As soon as I was in his mouth, I started singing and made his belly swell with my sound waves."

Then perceiving a strange noise, the singer saw Koro's vital core fall in front of Seryu. Despite the explosion, it seemed intact.

"Oh?" Cosmina said. "If I understand correctly, that stupid mutt is still alive."

Seeing her take a step towards the core of her teigu, Seryu quickly crawled on the ground, before covering it with her arms.

"No, you will not destroy it."

"Get out!" Cosmina ordered her, starting to stomp on her. "Get out now."

"Never in your life! You will not kill Koro."

"Don't worry, he won't be the only one to die! I plan on killing you too, as well as your girlfriend right behind you! I'm going to slaughter you all."

And to prove it, she suddenly took a mischievous pleasure in walking on Seryu's head before continuing on her way by trampling on his back. Walking like this, Cosmina quickly found herself in front of Wendy, who still remained unconscious.

"Such a pretty little face!" Cosmina chuckled, looking at her. "It makes me want to slaughter her so much."

"No, don't go near her."

Only smiling sadistically Cosmina then inhaled a little air, to prepare a new song.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the next song of the great and unique Cosmi…"

Stopping her dead in her tracks, a powerful shot pulverized her arm... her shoulder... as well as the entire right side of her body. The only survivor of this attack, Cosmina's microphone, fell at her feet, while the singer was shaking in amazement.

"What...? What...?"

Collapsing then, she collapsed to the ground, under Seryu's wide eyes.

" But how … ? "

"Nice shot, Mine!" Lubbock applauded. "You saved your worst enemy."

"Shut up!" The sniper roared, glaring at Seryu with hatred. "I only did this to save Wendy! Nothing more."

"Wild Hunt has already lost two members." Najenda muttered simply.

Remaining motionless watching the battles, Natsu eventually turned around, seeing someone walking towards him, their face covered in blood.

" You asshole. "

"You're the Prime Minister's son." Natsu recalled, staring at Syura. "What's your name again? Dora or something? Oh, and it doesn't matter."

"Unimportant? You dare claim that I'm unimportant? You impertinent bastard!" Syura roared, using his teigu. "You're going to die here and now."

"Natsu, let's go." Happy advised him. "His power has no effect as long as we keep moving."

"No way! I have a better plan than running away." His friend assured him.

"A better plan?"

"Here we go." Natsu announced, running towards Syura. " FIRE DRAGON'S… !"

"You idiot! You're running straight into my trap! SHAMBHALA !"

" IRON FIST ! "

Smashing his fist against Syura's, at the exact spot where his teigu was, Natsu managed to hit him at the moment a circle formed at his feet.

"You fool! What did you think you could do? You're going to find yourself in another dimension for eternity."

However, his smile disappeared as soon as a cracking sound was heard. Then throwing a frightened glance at his teigu, he could discern a crack in it.

" Impossible ! "

"You're the one who's going to disappear forever." Natsu yelled, increasing the intensity of his flames.

Immediately, a powerful explosion took place. Being engulfed by a cloud of smoke, the two opponents disappeared from everyone's sight for a few moments. However, whether it was Night Raid, Jaegers or Wild Hunt, each stopped their fight to stare at the two men and find out who had emerged victorious.

And as soon as the smoke settled, everyone could see Syura's body still standing. However, his gaze showed only fear, as he stared at his teigu. The object, still boiling, had almost melted. Natsu had managed to destroy, forever, the power of Shambhala.

"How…? How is this possible? My teigu."

Coming out, in turn, from the cloud of smoke Natsu faced him again, showing that he had managed to destroy the weapon in time, before it sent him into another dimension.

"How…? Who are you? Who are you, you monster?"

"Me? I'm just a Fairy Tail mage."

" Fai … Fairy Tail ? "

"Prepare to suffer your sentence for all your actions! FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR !"

Seeing the huge pillar of fire charging at him, while being unable to teleport, Syura could only scream in fear.

"NOOOO!"

Then suddenly, a miracle happened to him. Suddenly falling from the sky, despite the fact that there was not a trace of cloud in the sky, lightning crashed right in front of Syura and managed to counter the power of Natsu's attack.

"What…?" Said the magician.

"It's been a long time! Considering this attack, I imagine that it was you who had committed the imprudence of attacking the palace, during the last month." A stern voice remarked.

"Him?" Najenda growled.

Recognizing his scent, even before seeing him, Natsu muttered.

"The Lightning General."

"Night Raid!" Budo said. "I'm arresting you."
