CHAPTER THIRTY: CLASH AT THE KARDIA CATHEDRAL

In the Kardia Cathedral, Laxus is notified of Freed's defeat and Mira's removal from contention. That leaves the six Gajeel, Satsuki, Natsu, Aira, Mystogan, and Erza, against the last remaining enemy: Laxus.

The Raijin Tribe is defeated, and so Natsu, Erza, Aira, Gajeel, Satsuki, and even Mystogan go after the source of the Battle of Fairy Tail: Laxus. Battles begin between Laxus and three of the five Mages who are after him, with Mystogan and Erza leaving, with the latter going off to stop the Thunder Palace, leaving Natsu alone to face Laxus.

Gray uses Warren as a telephone to contact all Fairy Tail Mages along with Erza so they could all communicate. All Fairy Tail Mages scattered around Magnolia are called to look at the sky.

They argue and first, but Lucy interrupts them with an inspiring speech. Lucy's speech inspires everyone and they all stop fighting for the time being and prepare to destroy the lacrima. They manage to destroy all of them but they suffer the consequences of the Organic Link Magic. They are glad to have been able to render the Thunder Palace out of order.

The final battle against Laxus rages on.

Levy is running to the Cathedral where Laxus is at to inform him that his grandfather is in critical condition.

Laxus witnesses this and is furious. All his plans have failed, and Natsu lectures him on the fact that he cannot be Master of a guild that he has never tried to be part of. This makes him snap, and he yells that he will become Master by force. Around him, an aura of electricity has gathered, making it impossible for Natsu to attack. Laxus quickly subdues him and attacks with a powerful spell, Raging Bolt. The spell strikes the ground where the Dragon Slayer is, revealing, after the clearing of the smoke, nothing to be in his place.

Laxus chuckles to himself when he sees nothing but smoke where Natsu was. "Natsu! Who was the strongest in the guild again?!" He laughs out loud. "Oh, I'm sorry. You can't answer because you've been turned to dust!"

"Weren't you his ally?!" A voice asked. Laxus looks at the Water Dragon Slayer who has Natsu in his hand, while hanging off the railing. "Man, I always gotta save his ass... Although gettin' rid of him is my role."

Natsu looks at Aira, relieved that his friend/rival saved him. "Aira..."

"Another prey shows up." Laxus laughed. Aira throws Natsu on the ground. "Disappear, disappear! Anyone who stands in my way should just disappear!"

"I'll handle Laxus! Stay back." Natsu said.

"That ain't gonna happen. His monstrous strength is the real deal. He's got Gramps' blood in him." Aira stated. "I don't like it, but we've got no choice. We'll fight him together!"

Natsu screams when he hears this, jolting up to argue. "You're joking, right?! I'm gonna defeat Laxus! We're already in the same team back at the guild, isn't that enough?!"

"I could say the same, but take a look. Is that the Laxus we know?" Aira asks Natsu while they look at Laxus laughing out loud with an evil face.

"Disappear! Disappear!" Laxus yelled as lightning surrounds him. Natsu finally realizes what Aira means.

"That's an enemy of the guild. We have to stop him here to protect the guild. The rest of them are down for the count after the counterattack from the Thunder Palace." Aira said. "Do you realize what will happen if we don't stop him here?!"

"All right! Let's fly in the sky like dragons." Natsu agrees to fight with Aira.

"But with all this annoying lightning, we can't fly in the sky." Aira smirks at Natsu.

"After this fight, you owe me another one!" Natsu positions himself in a fighting stance.

"We'll continue our fight from the other day back at the guild!" Aira positions himself as well.

"Let's do it!" The Dragon Slayers charge at Laxus, attempting to strike him, but Laxus evades their attacks. Laxus blows Natsu away with his lightning. Natsu crashes into Aira, but he stops him from doing so.

"Use your breath!" Aira ordered.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu releases his fire.

"Water Dragon's Roar!" Aira combines his Magic with Natsu's breath attack. Laxus quickly evades it. Aira looks up and sees Laxus. "Water Dragon's Arrows!" A dark blue Magic Circle appears as Aira shoots water arrows at Laxus. Laxus shoots balls of lightning at Aira, who is eventually hit by the attack.

"Fire Dragon's Brillant Flame!" Natsu appears behind Laxus, landing a hit.

"Water Dragon's Gale Force!" Aira shoots out a blast of water from his right hand at Laxus.

"Fire Dragon's..."

"Water Dragon's..."

"...Roar!" Natsu and Aira attack, once again, landing a direct hit at Laxus. This creates a large explosion and smoke everywhere.

"That's the power of you working together?!" Laxus rises from the smoke, unharmed. "I'm shocked you can call yourselves Dragon Slayers."

"Didn't we damage him at all?!" Natsu's shocked to see Laxus unharmed.

"Impossible! No matter how strong he is, after being hit with all that Dragon Slaying magic... I can't believe it!" Aira wonders how Laxus is still standing.

Laxus stares at them with a smug grin. "Well, it's simple really. I hate the old man's lectures, so I kept it a secret. But I'll show you a special." His front teeth turn into canines as he bulks up, tearing his shirt. Scales appear on his forearms as his Magic Power increases.

"N-No way..." Natsu watches Laxus' Magic increase.

"You've got to be kidding me." Aira finally knows what Laxus' real Magic is.

Laxus pulls his head back. "Lightning Dragon's..."

"You're also a Dragon Slayer?!" Natsu stands back.

"...Roar!" Laxus fires lightning at the two, leaving them immobilized. "Oh? Still alive? Just stay down already."

"My body..." Natsu struggles to get up.

"I'm paralyzed..." Aira struggled.

"You two, Erza, Mystogan, the old man, the trash in the guild, all the people in Magnolia... I'll make them all disappear!" Laxus screams in anger, releasing a large amount of Magic Power.

"What's with this crazy magical power?" Aira feels like he has felt this kind of Magic before.

"This power... It's Gramps'..." Natsu recognizes the Magic Power.

"It targets everything the caster sees as an enemy... The Master's Ultimate Spell of Judgement! Fairy Law!" Aira exclaimed.

Laxus positions his hand where he is about to cast the spell. "That's right! Fairy Law!"

"The spell that destroyed Phantom's Master..." Aira said.

"Stop it, Laxus!" Natsu screamed. Laxus ignores Natsu, continuing to cast the spell. "Laxus!"

"Stop it, Laxus!" Levy appears at the doorway of the Kardia Cathedral.

Natsu looks at the entrance. "Levy!"

"You idiot! Why are you here?!" Aira asked.

"Laxus! The Master is..." Levy calls out for him, but Laxus ignores her. "The Master... Your grandfather is... near death!" They're all shocked to hear this devastating news. Laxus hears Levy's news as his pupils start to appear again. "So please, stop this! Come see him!"

"Death? Gramps?" Natsu muttered. "He's gonna die?"

"Laxus!" Levy cried out.

"Perfect timing! Now my chance of becoming master just went back up!" Laxus grinned, not caring one bit about his grandfather.

"That bastard..." Aira snarled.

Natsu is still speechless about the news.

Laxus evilly laughs out loud. "Disappear, Fairy Tail! I'll build it up again from scratch! I won't lose to anyone! Everyone will cower in fear before my ultimate guild!"

Levy falls to her knees. "That's..."

"Why, you...! How could you?!" Natsu screamed.

"Fairy Law is invoked!" Laxus finally releases Fairy Law. The bright magic spreads throughout the cathedral. A Magic Circle appears on the top of the cathedral. It soon spreads throughout Magnolia. "I've surpassed the old man..."

After Fairy Law was casted and the smoke disappears, Laxus is surprised to see Natsu, Aira, and Levy unharmed, coughing from the smoke. "B-But... Why?! Why wasn't any of you killed?!"

"You okay?" Aira asks Levy.

"I'm fine. How about Natsu?" Levy nods in agreement.

"Seems okay to me." Aira looks at Natsu who is gritting his teeth.

"After using all that magical power..." Laxus is unable to comprehend what just happened.

"All the members of the guild and the people of the city are safe as well." Freed appears at the doorway, injured and his clothes torn apart. "Not a single person was killed."

"That shouldn't be! My Fairy Law was perfect!" Laxus argued.

"It was your heart, Laxus!" Freed said. "You inherited more than just the master's strength and magical powers. You also got a heart that feels for your friends! Fairy Law only affects those the caster sees as his enemy. You understand what this means, right Laxus?"

"The feelings he has deep down are revealed through his magic." Levy stated.

"Magic never lies, Laxus." Freed smiles at Laxus. "This is what you really feel."

"No! Everyone who gets in my way is my enemy! My enemy!" Laxus argued, denying the truth.

"Just quit this already, Laxus. Go to the Master." Freed said.

Laxus gets enraged. "Who gives a crap about that old man?! I am me! Not just some old man's "grandson!" I'm Laxus!" He releases his lightning everywhere.

Natsu stands up. "Everybody knows that. Don't get so puffed up, you jerk! Does being Gramps' grandson make you so different from the rest of us?!" He engulfs himself in flames. "Don't you know blood types don't matter? Because everyone in the guild is supposed to be considered family!" Natsu then crashed back onto the ground.

"And what the hell do you know?!" Laxus' pupils disappear.

"It doesn't matter if he knows or doesn't know. Aren't we guild mates anyway?! None of us know! That's why we help each other out!" Aira pulls his fist back. "Laxus!"

"Shut up, Aira!" Laxus surrounds himself in lightning. He crashes his fist into Aira.

Charging at each other, the Dragon Slayers burst through the roof of the cathedral, taking their battle to the skies.

"Disappear off the face of the earth!" Laxus punches Aira.

"I'll be the one to stop you!" Aira kicks him back. "Even if the flame head can't. Even if the guild does, it'll never be yours! Because it's our home to return to!" Laxus punches Aira, sending him reeling backwards.

"Can't you even die right?!" Laxus screamed while he picks up Aira and kicks him. "Do you honestly think you can beat me?!"

Natsu, Freed, and Levy watch the fight from the ground.

"The guild isn't yours. Just think about it, Laxus." Aira weakly said.

"Shut up! Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!" Laxus sends lightning at Aira, creating a large explosion on the top of the cathedral. "It's 100 years too early for you to be preaching to me, pipsqueak." Aira's persistence allows him to rise once more.

"He can still stand?" Freed asked.

"That's enough, Aira..." Levy pleads for Aira to stop as he could die from his injuries.

"You damned brat! I'll make sure there's not even a trace left!" Laxus reaches his boiling point, accumulating lightning in his hand.

"Stop it, Laxus! If you use that magic while Aira is like this..." Freed protests the spell that Laxus is about to cast.

Laxus ignores Freed, laughing out loud. "Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!" He lets loose the spell in Aira's direction. Unable to move, Aira bows down in preparation for his defeat.

"Don't!" Freed screamed while Levy cries, looking away from Aira.

"Aira!" Natsu screamed, helpless to do anything due to his injuries.

The spell completely misses Aira, turning right instead of straight. Right on time, Satsuki arrives and utilizes her rocks to redirect the spell. "Satsuki!" Levy cried out, relief to see Satsuki on time.

"Rocks... Did she use herself as a lightning rod?" Freed suspected.

"Go, Tsunami!" Satsuki shouted. Aira gets back up, recharging his Magic Power as his water starts to steam.

"How dare you!" Laxus' didn't expect Satsuki to come and save Aira.

"Water Dragon's..."

"Damn you!" Laxus screamed.

"...Wave Fist! Claw! Wing Attack! Talon! Crushing Fang!" Aira does multiple attacks, combining them to hit Laxus.

"That magic will shatter a dragon's scales, crush its innards, and cut down it's very soul." Levy stated.

"True dragon-killing attacks..." Freed said.

"That's how Dragon Slayers are..." Natsu commented, smiling at Aira who is about to finish off Laxus.

Aira wraps his hands in water and whirls them around. "Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Deadly Waves!" Directly at Laxus, barraging him with a huge wave of water and sending him flying away. Laxus flies back on the ground, defeated.

"Laxus... lost." Freed muttered.

"That's Aira for you..." Natsu stated, smiling.

Somewhere else, Igneel and Kaito are talking, discussing Aira's actions.

"You sure have trained that boy well, Kaito." Igneel said.

"I see he hasn't changed that's for sure..." Kaito replied, chuckling.

A/N: There you go!

Yes, I made Aira fight Laxus instead of Natsu.

Hope you enjoyed!
