Rated M just in case. I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail.

51. Revelations!

Chapter 50: Revelation!

Within a thick deep forest, the trees rustled as suddenly Itachi and Mest came in for a crash landing. The two Fairy Tail wizards rolled down a dirt hill, landing flat on their backs. "What happened?" Mest groaned as he sat up rubbing his sore neck.

"Where are we?" Itachi looked around as just recently they were teleporting up to the mountains to face Madara. And now they were in some forest away from the snow. "Last, I remember is seeing a bright red light… and then suddenly we crash land here." Itachi tried to make sense of the situation. The area looked unfamiliar but at the same time it felt familiar.

"I can't get a good sense on where we are… But I sense a lot of people in various nearby directions." Mest tried to figure out where he was supposed to teleport onto next, although when Mest turned to Itachi for an input he looked confused as the current Fairy Tail Guild Master was occupied inspecting a tree. "Uh, is there something special about that tree?"

Itachi stroked his finger across some tree sap, taking a quick lick of the sap Itachi hummed as he took in the flavor. "This is a Magnolian Mable tree." Itachi deduced but Mest still didn't understand the point of it.

"And?" Mest inquired further.

"Magnolian Mable as the name suggests grows exclusively in Magnolia. Last I checked we were hundreds of miles away from Magnolia." Itachi informed his companion as he further continued to investigate the surrounding greenery.

"So, we teleported to Magnolia by accident?" Mest questioned with a raised brow.

"No, this terrain is unfamiliar to me. And I've been over most if not all of Magnolia. Plus, I'm pretty sure this wasn't in Magnolia." Itachi points beyond the trees, were they see several ruined buildings, and a port stuck on dry land. "Judging by the ruins, and the port I would say this is from Hargeon." The strange situation continued to bewilder Mest.

"Wh-What the hell is going on?" Mest looked at the ruins, although as he walked forward, he tripped on something. "Ouch!" Mest cried out, looking under him he freaked out seeing as it was a corpse. "Oh shit!" Mest backed away.

"An Imperial Knight." Itachi studied the armor of the dead man. He was slightly dug underneath the ground. What's more there were more dead soldiers, Itachi saw a few hands, armor plates and legs sticking up from the ground. "Someone buried these men. Must be those that died at Hargeon." Itachi looked forward, seeing what appeared to be a wooden grave stone that read "Commander Linda Balor, X765 – X792" Itachi deduced it was someone important from the empire that received a proper burial instead of being tossed in a pile like the rest. "That red light, I can only assume someone altered the very landmass of the continent. Shuffling everyone into random directions across Fiore. Judging by how tight packed this area is, I can assume that Fiore has also shrunken down a few sizes."

"What? But for what purpose?" Mest looked stunned, as he realized why he felt so many people pact this closely to each other. He could hear various battles unfolding all around him.

"To bring our armies closer and increase the chance of conflict. That, and to move Zeref closer to master Mavis. That is the only logical thing I can think of." Itachi clenched his fists in frustration, they've been had. The enemy probably now had the wielder of Fairy Heart completely surrounded, and all alone.

Indeed, Itachi was right, as at the Fairy Tail guildhall Zeref's black sickening aura clashed with the golden divine aura of Mavis. And further in a different forest, Natsu groaned as he fell on top of Lucy and Happy. "What the hell happened?!" Natsu got up, not noticing his hands had groped onto Lucy's chest.

The Celestial Wizard blushed and violently pushed Natsu off of her. "Pervert!" Lucy accused, as she had slapped Natsu across the face leaving a handprint. Last thing Lucy remembered they had just parted ways with her reanimated mother, and were escorting Brandish back to her cell in the guild. "Wait, where is Brandish?" Lucy looked around, but couldn't spot the Spriggan Twelve member anywhere.

"Huh, she was just here… I can't smell her either." Natsu sniffed the air like a bloodhound, but was unable to find a trace of the Country Demolisher.

Further away in an open field, the Country Demolisher walked around aimlessly. "That light… it must have been-" Brandish mumbled to herself, although froze as she felt immense pressure.

"Indeed, it was Irene." An old groaning sounding voice came from behind her. Brandish in fright turned around, seeing an angered August. The leader of the Spriggan Twelve clenched his hand onto his staff, his aura shaking the ground beneath them. "To use such magic recklessly!" August was clearly angered at Irene, but he seemed to calm down as he looked at Brandish.

"Gramps, are we still in Fiore?" Brandish asked, trying to subtly check if Lucy was nearby. She really didn't want Lucy to be spotted by August, after all even if Natsu teamed up with Lucy they wouldn't stand a chance against the leader of the twelve.

"Indeed, Irene's Universe One spell just altered the landmass, and shuffled around its locations and its people. What is more, I sense Bloodman has perished. First Ajeel and now Bloodman, it would seem they were not worthy of the rank of Spriggan after all. Ishgar shall pay for this insult to his majesty's army! And as the leader I shall avenge Ajeel and Bloodman!" August tightened his grip around his staff even more, it was a miracle the staff didn't break from August's sheer rage. August the let out a deep sigh, seeming to calm down as his grip on the staff eased up. "I am glad to see you are alright, my dear apprentice." August walked up to Brandish, and in an uncharacteristically manner he embraced the Country Demolisher. Putting his arm around her. "You are like my very own grandchild after all."

"Thank you, gramps." Brandish looked slightly guilty, not because she was deceiving August. But because if Lucy and Natsu were here, she could not help them and would stand idly by as August slaughtered them. After all, Brandish could never betray August, her teacher and her role model, the one who took her in and raised her at a tender age after her mother Grammi died.

August smiled as he gently stroked the top of Brandish's head, he truly cared for her as if she was his own grandchild. "Now come, we must make haste and find either Irene or his majesty." August didn't waste anymore time, and began walking in the direction where he felt a high concentrated amount of magic power.

"Yes, understood." Brandish nodded and followed August. 'Sorry, Lucy… I just can't betray the empire.' Brandish clenched her hand to her chest, feeling a heart aching conflict rising within her.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Gray and Juvia were wandering around a deserted landscape, away from the snow. "Lyon! Gajeel! Levy! Pantherlily!" Gray and Juvia both called out for their friends, only to discover they had all been separated.

"I don't get it… the landscape itself changed. Were we teleported?" Gray rubbed his chin.

"It seems to be a mix of both." The familiar voice of Erza called out, hearing the sound of clanking armor Gray and Juvia turned around to be greeted by their guild's mightiest female wizard.

"Erza, why are you here? You were supposed to be down in the southern isles of Ishgar." Gray looked in confusion, even for teleportation and some landscape changing magic this was just too extreme.

"Indeed, and you two were supposed to be in the northern mountains." Erza pondered on what could have possibly happened, from the looks of it there were no one else around for miles. "The enemy must have someone capable of powerful compression magic… they not only scattered our forces around, but shrunk and shuffled the land of Fiore." Erza couldn't help but feel a little terrified, for someone capable of such magic must be one of the Twelve.

"Damn, last thing we know we take down one of the Twelve with Gajeel, Levy, Lyon and Pantherlily…" Gray like Erza felt somewhat terrified of the idea of someone having such powerful magic.

"You took down one of the twelve?" Erza looked surprised, but then smiled and gave an approving nod. "Well done, we're one step closer to victory." She said encouragingly, but even so Gray and Juvia still looked somewhat saddened.

"Yeah, but we lost Edolas Levy to him…" Gray clenched his fists, if only he hadn't been caught in that whirlpool, they could have saved Edolas Levy and took down Bloodman.

"I see…" Erza looked down with a solen expression, she silently mourned the loss of a member of their twin guild from Edolas. "Reports say that Ajeel of the Spriggan Twelve died to Kisame in Hargeon, and with the one you took down…"

"Bloodman, an Etherious demon made up out of Bane particles. He also killed Master Bob of Blue Pegasus." Gray gave the name of the second dead Spriggan member.

"I see, that makes it a lot easier…" Erza sighed, having Bloodman with his Bane particles out of the picture made it a whole lot easier for their forces on the battlefield. Erza had already been informed of the death of Master Bob from the report given to Warren by Jenny of Blue Pegasus. "We must find others… There is no telling what danger all of them have been put in." Erza ordered, and without hesitation Gray and Juvia followed her.

Elsewhere, on an already raging battlefield. Wendy, Sherria and Carla in her human form aided a group of their comrades against and armada of imperial knight. "What happened? All of a sudden, we were brought here with these Alvarez Empire soldiers." Wendy asked whilst blowing away a group of imperial knights with a mighty breath attack.

"I don't know, must be the enemies doing." Carla kicked a knight, knocking him over.

"If we stick together, we'll be fine!" Sherria sends waves of black wind at a group of knights.

"Right, all we need is love." The ground rose up into a golem, swopping down its massive arm at a group of imperial Knights making them cry out in agony at being sent flying. Another group of knights were suffocating within a magic bubble.

"Sherry! Ren!" Sherria smiled brightly at seeing her cousin and her cousin's husband.

"Sherria, I'm so happy to see you are alright. That strange red light came out of nowhere." Sherry was quick to embrace her tiny cousin into a hug.

"It's good to see you young ladies alive and well." One of the Blue Pegasus Trimen, Ren smiled warmly at seeing the two young slayer wizards.

Meanwhile, down at a beach a group of Fairy Tail wizards had gathered. Amongst them was Makarov Dreyar, the former master of Fairy Tail. "What is going on here?" Makarov looked around, seeing he was no longer in the Fairy Tail guildhall, but outside. And Warrod, Laxus but most importantly Mavis was nowhere to be seen.

"Where the hell is this even?!" Jet and Droy were also here, they had just finished burying their Edolas counterparts and Edolas Elfman.

"Hey, not everyone from the guildhall is here…" Wakaba was also here, the guilds smoke wizard looked around but didn't see his best friend Macao or Romeo anywhere.

"What about the First?! Has anyone seen her?!" Cana looked around for any signs of Mavis.

"What the hell… this can't be right." Warren looked on a pad, looking over the map of Fiore and had a look of disbelief.

"Whatever just hurry up and find out where our coordinates are!" Max rushed the telepathy wizard of Fairy Tail. But Warren paid him no mind, he was instead trembling in fear.

"What the hell is this?" Warren looked over the map, seeing all of Fiore had shrunken to great lengths.

"This isn't good…" Mirajane and Lisanna were also present, the younger Strauss sibling still red and puffy around her eyes from crying over the loss of Edolas Elfman.

"Where is Elf-niichan"? Lisanna after having seen Edolas Elfman died, worried for the safety of Earthland Elfman.

"It's the enemy!" Alzack called out, looking through binoculars he saw a huge army of the enemy approaching. "A huge army of Alavrez Knights coming this way!"

"What are we to do Third/Sixth master?!" Nab asked the little dwarf of a former master.

"Just call him Makarov." Laki slapped Nab across the back of his head.

Makarov grumbled in anger, for all he knew they moved Zeref closer to Mavis. "Prepare for battle!" Makarov declared, unleashing bright rays of golden light from his tiny body.

Elsewhere, in a deserted mountain range area. The fourth member of the Four Gods of Ishgar, Warrod stood with his fellow Saints. Hyberion, Wolfheim, Jura, Mitsurugi, Noel and Fiona. "This is bad…" Warrod mumbled as he stared down a figure before them. He needed to return to Mavis right away, he would not let Mavis fall into the clutches of the empire.

"Hmm, seems all we need is Beatrice and Makarov, and then all of us would have been reunited at last. My! Such a bitter turnout!" The flashy former top Saint of Ishgar, now one of the Spriggan Twelve, God Serena posed before his former comrades.

"This is perfect, we get to eliminate this traitor." Mitsurugi unleashed a wave of bloodlust as he gripped onto the handle of his katana. Noel raised what looked like a magic wand, her glare filled with killer intent. Fiona's muscle mass expanded, making some tears around her dress as she also glared at God Serena. Jura held his palms together, and the earth shook beneath him. Wolfheim turned into his beast like form. And Hyberion unleashed the full blunt force of his aura.

"Seems catastrophe is about to fall upon this land." Warrod sighed as he as well unleashed his aura.

"Catastrophe? No need to worry, I will put a quick end to this." God Serena smirked as he unleashed his aura, an aura that matched all of his seven former comrades. "I will show you, why I was known as number one of Ishgar." The mountains shook from all this power unleashed at once, a total of eight of the Ten Wizard Saints were gathered in once place, at this rate all these mountains would be reduced to dust.

Back with Natsu, Lucy and Happy. The three widened their eyes as they stood before two major structures. Kardia Cathedral, Magnolia's most famous landmark. And the royal Fiore palace. "Kardia Cathedral… and the royal palace?" Lucy looked in awe, at seeing the biggest structure from their hometown, and the capital at the same place.

"Did Magnolia and Crocus fuse together or something?" Natsu looked even more confused than Lucy, although due to his lack of brain power he was willing to easily brush this off and keep moving.

"Guys! The rest of the cities aren't here!" Happy called from the sky, looking near panic. "I can't see the guildhall!"

"This has got to be a joke." Lucy looked in disbelief as she closer inspected the two structures. They were indeed real, which put a frightening thought in Lucy's mind.

"Wait. Someone is coming." Natsu picked up a few familiar scents approaching.

Coming from around a corner, were Gray, Erza and Juvia. At this Lucy brightened with a smile at seeing some familiar faces. "Gray! Erza! Juvia!" Happy flew down as well to reunite with their friends.

"Natsu, Lucy and Happy too. It is great to see you." Erza greeted the trio.

"We were just on our way to the guild… you wouldn't happen to know where it is?" Gray looked to Happy seeing as the blue Exceed could scout from above.

"No idea, everything is different." Happy's ears fell down, signifying he was worried from all this change of scenery.

"Well, this is going to be a pain…" Gray groaned in annoyance, heck he wasn't even sure if they were heading in the right direction.

"Uh, guys… what the heck is that?" Lucy shakingly pointed up to the heavens, everyone gazed up and recoiled in fright as a giant eye hovered in the skies above, looking down on them. The eye shifted its gaze, right onto Erza it would seem. The pupil had some sort of cross pattern in it.

In the mountains, Irene gazed down upon the land beneath, her eye glowing with a cross pattern in it. "I see… that scarlet hair. There is no mistaking it." Irene stroked her own scarlet red hair. Irene had an unreadable expression on her face, continuing to take in the features of Erza. 'I thought I sensed a familiar sensation… My own daughter, of all things.' Irene closed her eye, causing the pattern to vanish once she reopened it.

Back with Team Natsu, they all looked in awe as the giant eye suddenly vanished. "Wh-What the hell was that?!" Lucy shivered in disgust, feeling creeped out by seeing that giant eye.

"Erza…" Gray looked to the knight, having noticed the eye focusing onto her.

"… Pay it no heed, let's keep moving." Erza wasn't sure what was up with that eye, but she decided it was best to just keep moving.

Back with Irene, she sighed as she tapped her staff to the ground. Bringing up a holographic image of the current altered map of Fiore. "So, his majesty and Fairy Heart are here, huh? There is a lot of enemy forces nearby, particular this group. Heine, Juliet, go deal with them and prevent them from reaching his majesty." Irene ordered her two second in commands, who loyally bowed and accepted their new quest.

"As you wish, Lady Irene." Heine vanished on the spot.

"Hehe, this will be fun." Juliet shortly followed.

"Now, I wonder how our two titans are doing?" Irene smirked at thinking of Acnologia and Madara.

The scene switched into the deserted wasteland, where the winds blew strongly around Madara and Acnologia. Both stood still, like they were both waiting for the other to make the first move. Acnologia growled as he glared at the calm and relaxed Madara. Sweat dripped down from Acnologia's brow as he tightened his fist. Digging his heel into the earth, causing the ground to break open, Acnologia leaped at Madara.

The Dragon King threw his arm back, and thrusted it forward as he launched a massive blue destructive energy wave. The whole wasteland was dyed with the brilliant blue glow of Acnologia's attack. Madara smirked as at blinding speed he flashed a set of hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!" A puff of smoke erupted before Madara, and out of it he pulled out a giant special wooden made fan, his gunbai. Madara held the gunbai sideways, as it caught the destructive blue wave. The wave got sucked into the gunbai much to Acnologia's disbelief, the Dragon King throwing a heavy punch at Madara.

The Ghost of the Uchiha turned his gunbai within his grip, and caught Acnologia's fist with the side of his gunbai. "Uchiha Reflection." Madara smirked as the gunbai unleashed a glow all up in Acnologia's face, the Dragon King letting out a surprised gasp as out from the gunbai shot out the explosive impact of Acnologia's destructive energy wave it had absorbed earlier.

Unable to consume his own attack, Acnologia was launched into the air by the explosion. "Bastard!" Acnologia grunted, and in a flash Madara appeared behind Acnologia, slamming his gunbai into Acnologia's shoulder in a downwards swing. The Dragon King letting out a pained grunt as he was sent crashing into the ground. "Hn!" Acnologia raised his arm up, to which the ground beneath them glowed. Madara widened his eyes a bit as the light turned into an explosive pillar of blue energy.

'He used his advantage on being immune to the power of his own attacks.' Madara was caught in the blast along with Acnologia, but unlike Acnologia who had dragon scales to shield him from the damage Madara took the full blunt force of it.

Madara's already damaged armor, suffered burns and was further torn apart. But Madara himself had quickly acted and activated the first Stage of his Demon transformation. The black demonic marks spread across his bare upper body, boosting the endurance of his body as well as its physical attributes. Madara leapt down towards Acnologia, and Acnologia jumped up at Madara. Both titans threw their fists, Madara's demonic enhanced fist, clashing with Acnologia's black dragon scaled fist. The clash of their fists, rocked the earth around them as various rock formations around them crumbled from a shockwave.

Neither of them budged, the weight of their fists was equal in power. Acnologia's cheeks puffed, as he prepared to unleash a point-blank range breath attack at Madara. Madara held his free hand in a hand seal. "Fire Style: Grand Fireball!" They both unleashed their attacks at the same time, as Madara's fireball clashed with Acnologia's breath attack. The collective power of their attacks grew into a massive explosion that spread across the terrain, tearing the rocky mountains apart with its destructive shockwave.

The sound of groaning flesh and bones echoed within the smoke cloud, as Madara and Acnologia slammed their fists into each other. Madara and Acnologia flew out from the smoke cloud at intense speed throwing a series of punches and kicks. Acnologia in his human form was much faster than his dragon form, yet Madara with ease countered and blocked each attack Acnologia threw his way. However, Acnologia with all his 400 years of experience in hand-to-hand combat also easily countered and blocked Madara's attacks, and it was all the more impressive that despite the fact that Acnologia was missing an arm.

In the end of their close ranged fight, both slammed their forearms against each other. In an aim to show dominance, both titans attempted to push the other back. Yet neither would budge an inch. "I must say, this is quite the fun warmup." Madara smiled at seeing the frustrated look of anger on Acnologia's face.

"I will destroy you." Acnologia snarled at Madara who merely chuckled at the threat.

"Then go on, make it happen." Madara challenged as they both jumped back away from each other. Madara reached for his gunbai that was strapped onto his back, and gave the giant fan a good mighty swing generating three giant whirlwinds. "Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction!" Madara unleashed a spray of fire from his mouth, as it merged with the spinning giant whirlwinds, turning into blazing fire storms. Using his gunbai, Madara commanded the spinning towering flame whirlwinds towards Acnologia, the three flaming towers circled around the Dragon King before closing in from all corners.

Acnologia began howling with laughter, as the flames and the wind got sucked into his mouth. Acnologia ate away the three giant whirlwinds of fire. "Ho? I thought so… A Dragon Slayer who continued to eat other dragons… gained the power to devour even that devoured dragon's magic element. That is indeed a splendid ability." Madara looked calm as he strapped his gunbai back onto his back.

Acnologia while letting out a maddening laughter unleashed a giant breath attack of Madara's eaten attack, right towards the Ghost of the Uchiha himself. Madara scoffed as in the blink of an eye, he formed the upper humanoid body stage of his Susano'o, the spectral warrior slicing the wave in half with one downwards swing of its sword. Acnologia rushed up at Madara, throwing a mighty spin kick that broke the Susano'o ribcage. Acnologia's kick landed right onto Madara's chest, who twitched in pain. "I will destroy you! At last!" Acnologia laughed.

"Well then… time to amp it up a bit." Madara looked with his purple Rinnegan eyes, as the demonic darkness spread across his arms making them resemble demonic claws. Acnologia was met with a swift punch to his cheek, his whole body vibrating from the shock of the punch itself, sending the Dragon King flying. "Such an unsightly hand…" Madara growled as he manipulated the demonic darkness around his arms, making them resemble normal human hands just coated in darkness. Madara's samurai armor was further torn apart by his own demonic darkness. As the darkness moved around his body manifesting itself into a black cloak. "Excuse me, I just needed to change my wardrobe a bit."

'He skipped straight to his Partially Transformed state?!' Acnologia landed onto solid ground, still skidding backwards due to the mighty impact of Madara's punch.

Madara reached up to his head, touching the tip of his black demonic horns growing out from his forehead.

"Reminds me of when I absorbed the Juubi… just more gothic." Madara sighed, and unleashed a massive aura of darkness. The heavens were dyed in a dark purple color, the earth trembling before the crushing might of Madara's power. "Now then… I suppose I shouldn't go all the way into my Demon Form. Wouldn't be fun to end our little dance so quickly after all."

Acnologia hated that Madara implied he could crush him with such ease. He, the mighty Dragon King? It was such an insult, Acnologia had slayed thousands of dragons in his wake. He had annihilated entire nations singlehandedly and destroyed various islands. But this man, Madara Uchiha, one man he could not destroy. Madara lifted his arm, aiming it at Acnologia. "Bansho Ten'in." Acnologia grunted as he was lifted up from the ground, and sent flying towards Madara, getting pulled in by some mysterious force. Madara latched his hand onto Acnologia's throat, in a crushing grip adding pressure to the Dragon King's windpipe. Madara then body slammed Acnologia into the ground, causing the earth to erupt and sink into a massive crater as if a meteorite itself had struck the earth. "Ningendo."

Acnologia gasped, as he felt Madara had grabbed onto something. Madara began pulling out some sort of ghostly like substance from Acnologia's body, it was the Dragon King's soul. Although it looked distorted, having traits of both a human and that of a dragon. Acnologia quickly grabbed onto his soul, struggling to hold it within his own body. "Heh, you see? How easy it is for me to kill you? It's not that you lack strength, frankly in an all-out fist fight we would probably be evenly matched. It's just, that my abilities are far superior to yours. With the Rinnegan, I have the power of a God. In other terms, I might as well be a God. You may be a Dragon. You may be the King of Dragons. But what is a King to a God?"

"Let go!" Acnologia roared as he unleashed a full powered breath attack at Madara. The breath attack completely swallowing Madara up in its destructive wake, the blast flew upwards clearing the heavens of its clouds. Acnologia was released from Madara's grip, and with a cold sweat running down his neck Acnologia jumped away from the Ghost of the Uchiha.

"No need to worry, I wasn't about to end our dance prematurely. I just thought it would be fun, to demonstrate just how outclassed you really are." Madara taunted, yet Acnologia didn't respond.

"Eternal Flare!" Stars glowed up in the heavens above, and came raining down in the number of thousands and all towards Madara. Madara quickly formed his Susano'o, generating so much power into it that in the blink of an eye, he had formed the Perfect Susano'o. The giant spectral warrior grabbed a hold of its blade, and swung it at the incoming stars. However, the blade broke, the same blade that shattered entire mountains in a single swing broke.

"Outclassed?" Acnologia smirked, as all the stars clashed into Madara burying his Perfect Susano'o within a sea of explosions. "I will admit you have dangerous abilities… However, I am destruction incarnate!"

Madara laid in a burning crater, his Perfect Susano'o broken and shattered. The only signs left of it being small burning blue flames surrounding the Ghost of the Uchiha. Madara casually wiped his hand across his face, gazing upon his hand seeing it stained red in blood. "Nice…" Madara smiled as he got back up, despite the crushing destructive power of Acnologia's attacks Madara was still able to stand. Acnologia rushed at Madara throwing a mighty punch, but Madara caught the punch. Acnologia widened his eyes, as he gazed into the smiling face of Madara. "You are doing better than I thought. Up until now, only Hashirama has ever managed to destroy my Perfect Susano'o." The blue spectral aura exploded around Madara, forming back into his Susano'o, but this time black demonic markings spread across the spectral warrior.

"What is this?" Acnologia broke away from Madara, watching as the Susano'o regrew back into the Perfect Susano'o. Demonic Darkness continued to grow across the Perfect Susano'o.

"And for that, you shall also be the one I test out this new version of my Susano'o on." Giant black spheres grew around the Perfect Susano'o, giant Truth Seeker Orbs formed around the back of the Perfect Susano'o in a circular formation. "It's power, and defensive capabilities are far greater than before. Now, Dragon King, here I come."

Acnologia's body erupted in a massive surge of magic power, as his body grew at an alarming rate. His skin changing into black and blue scales, wings grew out from his back and as well as a tail from his lower back. Acnologia roared as he transformed into his Dragon form. Acnologia clashed with Madara's Demonic Perfect Susano'o in a headbutt. The entire land got tore open from the shockwave of their clash, magma exploding from its cracks. The entire deserted wasteland turned into a sea of lava.

Madara's Demonic Susano'o didn't budge, it didn't even crack from the force of Acnologia's headbutt. In fact, Acnologia was the one who found himself pushed back. The Dragon King took a small leap backwards, then he flipped his massive body and swung his tail down onto the head of Madara's Susano'o. The spectral warrior didn't budge, and grabbed onto the tail of Acnologia. Madara then had his Susano'o spin around while holding onto Acnologia's tail, the Dragon King was dragged along unable to break free. Madara had his Susano'o toss Acnologia straight into a sea of molten lava.

"Dark Solar Yasaka Beads!" Madara created dancing rotating yasaka beads from his Susano'o, merging them with spinning spheres of darkness surrounded by spinning rings. The Demonic Perfect Susano'o threw the formation of yasaka beads unleashing a destructive bombardment onto Acnologia. The Dragon King howled in pain as a series of black illuminating explosions of darkness clashed into him.

Acnologia uses his wings to shield himself from the explosions, yet power of the Dark Solar cloaked Yasaka Beads was strong enough to burn through his dragon scales, and into his flesh. Glints of glowing light formed behind Acnologia, as he launched a series of blue star like blasts raining down onto Madara and his Demonic Perfect Susano'o.

The Demonic Perfect Susano'o reached for its blade, as it was pulled out from the handle a speck or darkness surrounded and cloaked itself around it. "Dimension Slash." With a mere swing of this demonic darkness cloaked blade, it was as if space itself had been cut open. The raining wave of blue stars froze, as they were all slashed through in an instant. The entire sky was lit up with blue colorful explosions, unleashing a blinding illuminating wave of light.

Admits this blinding light, Acnologia used his Dragon nose to his advantage. He smelled Madara and jumped at him, successfully tackling Madara and his Demonic Perfect Susano'o to the ground. Acnologia roared into the face of the Susano'o, and effectively Madara's as well who merely cracked a smirk. Acnologia sunk his claws into the armor of the spectral giant, refusing to let go as he began charging up the strongest breath attack, he could muster.

"This has gone on long enough." Madara with a twitch of his finger, had one of the giant Truth Seeker Orbs fly into Acnologia's jaw causing the breath attack to implode within the Dragon King's own body. Acnologia backed up, smoke emitting from his open jaw, as well as signs of burns across his face. Madara moved his pinky finger by a mere inch, and the Truth Seeker Orb flew straight at Acnologia and tore a hole into his right wing.

Acnologia howled in pain, something like that was able to pierce his mighty dragon scales? Acnologia fell over, groaning in pain. The Dragon King looked to his torn wing. Acnologia could feel that the very cells of his wing were destroyed by that orb. "Those orbs… if they hit the Black Wizard, not even he would be able to heal from it… With these you can actually kill him."

"Yes, I am well aware." Madara along with his Demonic Perfect Susano'o rose from the ground, and towered over the downed Acnologia. "Truth Seeker Orbs, even an immortal zombie will not be able to regenerate or heal from these. Including a cursed immortal like Zeref."

Acnologia roared and attempted to tackle Madara again, but the Ghost of the Uchiha was too fast. "Chibaku Tensei!" Madara's Truth Seeker Orbs all flew into the sky above, and suddenly Acnologia felt the gravitational pull. All six orbs began pulling in pieces of the earth beneath, forming themselves into planetary spheres.

Acnologia knew if he got caught up in one of those, he would be done for. The Dragon King, even with a damaged wing took flight, attempting to fly away from the ever so growing miniature planets. Twisting his head around, Acnologia launched a breath attack towards one of the Chibaku Tensei's forming in the sky.

Acnologia's breath attack pierced through the gathered earth around the core, and caused the core to implode in a brilliant explosion. Yet it didn't ease up the gravitational pull which Acnologia had hoped it would. Acnologia continued to struggle, using all his strength to try and fly away. The Dragon King roared in frustration, his roar causing the very earth and space to tremble, going like an echo across all of Ishgar.

Suddenly, the gravitational pull seized, and Acnologia halted in his escape. Taking in a few long deep breaths as he looked behind him, seeing five gigantic moons having formed over him. And all were surrounded with belts of spinning Yasaka Magatama beads. "Bastard!" Acnologia growled as he looked to the smirking Madara, who lowered his arm sending all five moons crashing down onto the Dragon King.

The entire continent of Ishgar trembled from the tremor of Madara's Chibaku Tensei's crashing into the earth. Followed by the rocky earthquake from the exploding yasaka beads. On all battle fronts everyone stopped dead in their tracks from all this shaking, all sensory type mages gasped as they sensed what was happening. None could believe it, for two being to have this much power.

Rubble left by the Chibaku Tensei were pushed aside, as an injured and damaged Acnologia crawled out from the rubble. Blood pouring out from various wounds across his dragon body. Scales were beginning to peel off, Acnologia whimpered a bit as he continued to crawl. "No… Not yet… not until I have destroyed all dragons!"

Blue spectral feet land before the face of Acnologia, the Dragon King looks up and roars in anger as Madara stands over him with his Susano'o. Acnologia finding a sudden rush of adrenaline, rises up from the rubble with a mighty roar. But before he can attack, Acnologia is met with a slash across his torso from the blade of the Susano'o. Blood begins pouring out like a fountain from the Dragon King as he keels over in a loud thud.

Acnologia's body begins to shrink, as he reverts back into his human form. Acnologia looks pale, he is panting as sweat pours down his face, and the puddle of blood around him grows by the second. 'Is this… the end? Was it all for this?' Acnologia clenches his fist, dragging up some blood-stained soil into his grasp.

The Susano'o begins to fade, as Madara jumps down and lands before Acnologia. Madara walks through the puddle of Acnologia's blood. "Heh, this might be the last time anyone can bathe in Dragon blood." Madara stands victorious over Acnologia. Even taunting the Dragon King during his final moments.

Madara looms menacingly over the defeated Acnologia, watching as the Dragon King is bleeding out. "That was quite the splendid dance, Dragon King. You did much better than during our first encounter. I can tell you have gotten stronger." Madara's praise meant nothing to Acnologia, who once again had failed to destroy Madara. Truly this man was his greatest obstacle.

"Go to hell!" Acnologia snarled, coughing up a puddle of blood.

"Heh, that's quite the spirit." Madara generated a wave of darkness in his hand, and swung it to Acnologia. The Dragon King growled, expecting to be incinerated in the face of the Demonic darkness. Although instead, he felt the pain in his body fading. Acnologia looked bewildered as he gazed down, seeing Madara's darkness healing the cut across his torso. "Hey, why don't we join forces?" Madara's sudden surprise proposition shocked the Dragon King further.

"What?" Acnologia questions, looking cautious and waiting for a proper moment to strike Madara now that he wasn't standing before death's door any longer.

"Like I said, why don't we join forces?" Madara crosses his arms, allowing Acnologia to get back up on his feet.

Still looking ever so cautious, Acnologia hesitantly asked. "… What exactly would I benefit from teaming up with you? What exactly would teaming up with you involve?"

Madara merely scoffs at the questions, thinking the answer to be obvious. "Neither of us would get in each other's way of our individual goals. We will even help each other reach out goals. Yours to slay all the Dragon Slayers present on the battlefield, to prevent the rise of even more dragons in the future. And mine, to obtain Fairy Heart and defeat Zeref… And to destroy this fabric of reality."

Acnologia couldn't help but look intrigued, for he like Madara also sought destruction. Destruction to this rotten corrupt world. But one thing didn't sit well with Acnologia. "With our type of power… why would we ever need help to reach our goals?"

"Acnologia, I'm sure even you must know. Even individuals as powerful as ourselves… cannot possibly take on Zeref and his Spriggan 12 and the mages from Ishgar by ourselves." Madara's declaration causes Acnologia to chuckle a bit.

"And what makes you say that?" Acnologia knew for a fact that he was stronger than the Black Wizard, and with his enhanced Dragon senses he could easily avoid Zeref's death waves while attacking him from a distance.

Madara raises his hand holding up all five fingers. "Currently, the five strongest beings in this conflict. Are me, that Itachi Uchiha or E as you know him, you, Zeref, and the holder of Fairy Heart Mavis Vermillion. You and I are standing alone in this conflict. While Zeref has his 12 shields, such as that enchanter Irene and the Magic King August. And Itachi and Mavis both fight on the same side as well, with the entire Fairy Tail guild, and all of Ishgar backing them up. It's not impossible for them to decide to team up against us, and even with our superior power we would lose. But if we team up, we will even the playing field a bit. Well? Not a bad deal, right? Having an ally during a war can be quite beneficial."

Acnologia looks to be considering Madara's proposition. Mainly due to witnessing the power of Irene, and taking into consideration the power of Zeref and that monster E. "Very well, I will team up with you. But make no mistake. Once our partnership is no longer needed, I shall slay along with the dragons." Acnologia declares with a scowl on his face as he glares at Madara.

Madara merely chuckles and gives a shrug. "That is fine by me. It seems we are in an agreement." Madara lowered his arms, honestly if Acnologia had refused Madara would have put the Dragon King under a genjutsu to make him comply regardless. But Madara was of course a man with his own sense of curtesy to ask someone to comply with his request. If not, he would always resort to his own ways of manipulation to get his way in the end. Well, regardless it seems this partnership was off to a decent start.

Acnologia transformed himself into a dragon, and Madara jumps onto the top of Acnologia's head. standing tall with his arms crossed as he rides on top of Acnologia's head, as they both made their way towards the battlefield. 'Now then, with this minor setback settled… Zeref, the battle for Fairy Heart has yet to be settled.' Madara gleamed with a menacing smirk.

Rolling down from a hill, was the massive form of Pantherlily. The giant Exceed grunted, in his arms he held onto Gajeel and Levy. "Argh, what the hell was that light?" Gajeel groaned, his wounds still aching from his battle against Bloodman. "And where the hell are Gray, Juvia and that Lyon?"

"How should I know… would you mind getting off me?" Levy blushed a bit as in this position, her ass was pressed up against Gajeel's crotch as he laid on top of her.

"Geehee." Gajeel snickered a bit, but quickly got off as he saw the annoyed look in Levy's eyes.

"Ugh." Pantherlily grunted as he reverted back to his chibi form, he still hadn't fully recovered from the encounter with Bloodman and Grim. "I grabbed the two of you on instinct… did we get teleported somehow?" Pantherlily asked seeing as the very scenery was different, they were no longer in the snowy mountains and instead on a green grass field, surrounded by ruins of various buildings.

"Hey, look." Levy pointed as she saw a blond head sticking out from the top of some ruins. "Lu-chan!" Levy called out as she recognized the head of her best friend Lucy.

"Huh?" Lucy growled in an annoyed voice, as she turned around and glared at Levy with a nasty look in her eye. "Who the hell are you calling Lu-chan? You mocking me you flat chested maniac?"

"Ugh!" Levy gasped, looking like she took some emotional damage at that flat chest remark.

"Wait, you aren't our Lucy…" Gajeel sniffed, as this Lucy's scent was different from their Lucy.

"Huh? Oh, you guys are from Earthland." Lucy Ashley put her hands to her hips, as she continued to stare down at them.

"What's going on? Lucy?" Edolas Juvia came out from around the corner.

"Nothing, just found Earthland Levy and Gajeel. Not to mention the former general of the Edolas Royal army, Pantherlily." Lucy Ashley shrugged, as following Edolas Juvia were Edolas Gray and Natsu. "Did you guys find anyone else?"

"No." Edolas Juvia shook her head.

"Oh dear, you guys alright?" Edolas Natsu rushed over to them, and offered Gajeel his hand to help him up. Gajeel looked flabbergasted, and slightly disgusted the idea of accepting Salamander's hand to help him infuriated Gajeel. But one look at the concerned timid look on Edolas Natsu's face, made Gajeel realize this truly wasn't his Natsu. So, Gajeel swallowed his pride and accepted Edolas Natsu's help.

Edolas Gray was quick to help up Levy as well. "You guys look messed up… We actually didn't think anyone else was here. We all thought we had died from that damn meteorite." Edolas Gray and Natsu both shivered.

"Stop being such weaklings!" Edolas Lucy and Juvia both scolded their men, who instantly flinched and stood up straight.

"Meteorite?" Gajeel questioned with a raised brow.

"Yeah, we were helping the squad you guys had up north. And that Madara freaking dropped a meteorite on us! Like is it seriously allowed for someone to be that overpowered?!" Lucy Ashley looked so frustrated as she even began pulling her own hair.

"Madara… What happened to the rest of the squad?" Gajeel was quick to ask.

"Don't know. Many were cut down by Madara, but those that remained were either scattered around like us. Or squashed by that meteorite. Not sure, it all happened so fast." Edolas Gray replied.

"Umm, excuse me." Levy spoke up, looking at Edolas Lucy, who scoffed at her.

"Huh? What do you want?" Even if it wasn't her Levy, that face still irritated Edolas Lucy to some degree.

"… We were with Edolas me, and fought a member of the Spriggan Twelve." Levy began shaking as she remembered seeing the bloodied form of her Edolas self as she died laying there in the snow.

"Huh? You guys fought one of the Twelve? You tryin' to brag! Did our Levy tell you to brag to my face that she took down one of the twelve?!" Edolas Lucy looked pissed off at the thought, she could already imagine the guild mechanic sticking her tongue out at her while laughing.

"No… She… she's dead." Levy nearly choked on her words, expecting to get yelled at she on instinct closed her eyes. But nothing came, Levy opened her eyes and saw the frozen wide-eyed look on Lucy Ashley's face.

Edolas Natsu, Gray and Juvia all gasped, and looked down with saddened gazes. "Lucy?" Edolas Juvia asks seeing their blond leader remained motionless, like she hadn't fully processed the information yet.

"She fought bravely… more so than me. But it wasn't enough, the Spriggan Twelve member Bloodman killed her… Gajeel here avenged her by eliminating Bloodman." Levy finished telling the Edolas Fairy Tail trio of their comrade's fate.

"I see." Lucy Ashley looks stoic, her voice sounding monotone and quiet.

"…" Levy wasn't sure how to respond to the stoic reaction of Lucy Ashley, so she did what she could and continued with giving Lucy Ashley Edolas Levy's final message to her. "She also told me… to tell you. That if you start crying like a girl over her death, she would laugh at you." It wasn't the most emotional final message, but it is what Levy was given.

"Heh, who would cry over you…? You lousy flat chested mechanic." Lucy Ashley cracked a smirk, before turning away and walking towards some of the ruins.

"…" Edolas Natsu silently followed Lucy Ashley around the corner, while Edolas Juvia and Gray looked knowingly of how their leader felt.

Lucy Ashley bumps her head against the wall of one of the ruins, drops dripping onto the grass before her feet. "Dammit!" Lucy Ashley curled her hands into fists, muffling her cries. "Levy, why?"

"Lucy…" Edolas Natsu walked up behind her, putting his arms around her. "Let it all out, I won't leave your side." Lucy Ashley turned around and buried her face into Edolas Natsu's chest, continuing to muffle her cries.

Levy heard it. She could hear the muffled cries of Edolas Lucy. 'I hope you are safe, Lu-chan.' Levy thought to herself, as all this got her thinking about her own Lucy.

"First Jet, Droy and Elfman… and now Levy." Edolas Gray mumbled, they all received the briefing from Warren. The report containing that Edolas Jet and Droy died to some sentient robot named Blitzkrieg. And that Edolas Elfman died as well to one of those reanimated warriors. "Looks like Team Shadow Gear are all gone… one of our guild's strongest teams." Edolas Gray and Juvia mourned the loss of their friends.

Meanwhile, the one responsible for killing Edolas Jet and Droy, Blitzkrieg had regrouped with his commanding officer, Wall Eehto. "Ha! Now that's funny, you lost your arm to a mere Edolas vermin!" Wall Eehto fell over laughing at his Second in Command, who only looked with shame. "Aw man, that was a good laugh. Well, now that you are all patched up it is about time we get to business." Wall looks over a hill, seeing the Fairy Tail guildhall just beyond the horizon. "His majesty has his goal within reach. Invel is there too."

"Whatz of the rest of the Twelve?" Blitzkrieg asks his master, although he towered over Wall in height one could feel the full respect Blitzkrieg had for his master.

"Ajeel and Bloodman are already dead… Not to mention a few of the Second in Commanding officers have died as well. Bakel, Kareem, Linda, Marin, and Grim." Ajeel summed up and Blitzkrieg let out a shocked gasp.

"Eh, I knew of Ajeel'z death! But now Bloodman az well?!" Blitzkrieg was in disbelief two of the mighty Twelve had fallen. "How can these Ishgar wizards manage such a feat?!"

"They were simply stronger than Ajeel and Bloodman. There is nothing else to it." Wall Eehto began scratching his neck, while letting out a longing sigh. "Ah, I want to fight too. My puppet got wasted earlier, and since then I haven't had any action. I'm bored as hell." A screen appeared on Wall's right eye, a bunch of data showing up on the tiny screen. Wall hums at this new updated information. "Seems Dimaria and Jacob are nearby as well, without a doubt either guarding the Fairy Tail guildhall so no one can reach it. Or, if I know Dimaria at all… she's probably out hunting for new prey. The one who slayed Linda perhaps? Or a new replacement? Or just going on a rampage? Heh, Blitzkrieg, what's say you we go on an old fashion human hunt? I detect some Ishgar wizards nearby."

Blitzkrieg gasps as he looks with his sensors in the same direction his master was looking at. "Master itz the one! The one who I fought against!"

Wall raises an eyebrow at his Secon in Command. "I thought you killed the guy who took your arm?"

Blitzkrieg shakes his head, his faces switches into the Jacko lantern looking one. "Nein! The other one! The big brute I fought with! The Takeover Wizard!"

Wall snickered at Blitzkrieg's antics. "Well, that's just peachy. Boys, we have our target." Wall chuckles as behind him glowing red robotic eyes flash up in lined up rows of at least 100 soldiers. "Prepare to intercept." Wall Eehto looks to the horizon with his fang like teeth spread into a wicked grin.

Meanwhile, a battle had broken out at the shore. A giant rampaging Makarov picked up a magic mobile, the driver quickly jumped out in fright as Makarov lifted it over his head with one hand. Makarov then tossed the magic mobile, crashing into a group of Imperial Knights. "Little whelps! There's no end to them!" Makarov swopped down his giant fist, taking out at least ten imperial knights in one swift punch.

"Outta my way!" Laki jumped in, and from a set of magic circles giant wooden torture instruments rammed into a surprised looking group of knights.

Jet soared like a speeding bullet across the battlefield, knocking down various knight. He grabbed onto a sword from one of the imperial knights and got to slashing, and cutting down his opponents. "P-Promise me to… to grow stronger, kay?" The last words of his Edolas self, echoed in his mind as Jet took down the knights. "Just try and keep up with my super speed!" However, Jet's feet suddenly stepped in something gooey. "Ugh!" Jet grunted as the gooey stuff he stepped in started to melt through the soles of his shoes, burning his skin. A swift kick was then delt to the speedster, as a dainty foot launched him away several feet.

"Jet!" Droy rushed as fast as he could, but his fatty body slowed him down. The figure swung her arm aside, sending the gooey substances onto Droy's upper body. His clothes began to melt, his skin feeling irritated. Before he could reach, the same dainty foot that launched Jet far away dug itself deep into his fatty face, sending Droy rolling.

"Droy!" The lazy non job taking Nab, attempted to rush in to help his friends, but quickly found himself tied up. As a black band wrapped itself around him, before Nab knew it he was hoisted into the air and body slammed back hard into the ground.

"What's with these guys? So weak~" Juliet, one of Irene's Second in Commands giggled at the pathetic sight of the three Fairy Tail wizards. The gooey substances emerging from her very hands.

"Irene Squad has joined the fray!" Heine, Irene's other Second in Command announced, and instantly the morale of their soldiers was boosted.

"Hell yeah! Lady Irene's hands are here! This fight is as good as ours!" The Imperial Knights cheered, they had great trust and faith in Heine and Juliet.

The two girls eyed the rampaging Makarov. "The big fish is right there~" Juliet giggled.

"Don't be a fool, let us enjoy the appetizers first before diving into the main course." Heine stopped Juliet, who pouted looking rather disappointed.

An Imperial knight cried in pain as he was launched towards Heine and Juliet. The two second in commands looked to the source of where the knight came from. There was Mirajane, effortlessly taking on several knights with mere hand-to-hand martial arts skills. She easily avoided slashes from swords, and countered thrust strikes from spears by ramming her palm into the knight's forearm. "Ho, such a cutie pie~" Juliet giggled as she eyed Mirajane.

"Want to have a little friendly wager to see who can kill her first?" Heine smirked as they now had their appetizer before taking on Makarov.

Cana threw her taro cards into a group of knights, the cards emitting a surge of lightning electrocuting them within their own armor. "Where is the guild?! We need to get back immediately!" Cana shouted at Warren, who still searched the map for any signs of the guild.

"The guild is this way!" Mavis' voice echoed through their heads.

"The First?!" Cana sounded beyond relieved. While Warren was quick to broadcast Mavis coordinates and words to all of Ishgar's army.

At the guild, Mavis countered a black wave of darkness from Zeref with a wave of brilliant light. "Make way for the guild! Everyone must gather at once! You've all been separated due to the enemy's magic! We must make our final stand! I will try and hold Zeref occupied until everyone gets here! The Alvarez army is closing in on the guild as well! You all must hurry!" Mavis broadcasted her thoughts, whilst twirling midair dodging several spheres of darkness from Zeref.

"Everyone heard her! Go!" Itachi's voice followed next, with the command of the First and the Seventh master. All of Fairy Tail was quick to make way towards the guild now that Mavis had given them the direction.

"All to the North!" Makarov ordered as the guild was north from their direction. And thus, they all began abandoning the battle, this was just a mere distraction after all.

"Come on Lisanna, Elfman is probably on the way to the guild himself!" Mirajane and Lisanna began running with everyone else, but suddenly Mira's senses were screaming of danger. Mira quickly grabbed onto Lisanna and jumped away as the gooey substances from Juliet's magic fell down onto where they stood.

"Aww, she dodged." Juliet pouted.

"Mira-nee!" Lisanna called out a warning as she saw black bands coming their way. Mira's body shined brightly as she entered her Satan Soul form, her demonic claws easily ripping the bands to shreds. The cold eyes of her Satan Soul form stared down the two second in commands from Irene's squad. Mira held her free arm out, as she and Lisanna twirled a bit midair. "Evil Explosion!" Mira launched a destructive energy blast at the two second in commands. The explosion rocked the ocean, and tore down various palm trees with its mighty shockwave. "Lisanna, regroup with the others and keep heading north." Mira tossed Lisanna towards Warren who was lagging behind the rest.

"But Mira-nee! What about you?!" Lisanna looked concerned, as Mira not only stared down Heine and Juliet, but their entire battalion as well.

"Do not worry about me. I'm more than enough for these chumps." Mira scowled as she glared down at them from the sky, her devil wings spread before the illuminating moon.

"But Mira-nee, you're-" Lisanna wasn't worried that Mira couldn't beat them, but she knew what only a few others knew. Mira was pregnant, and thus more vulnerable.

"I know, but I'm not going to give them the chance to even touch me!" Mira released a dark menacing aura. Her protective motherly instincts fully activated, giving Mira a new realm of power, none knew she had. "Last chance to surrender, or I guarantee you young ladies are in for more than a spanking." Mira's eyes glowed in a menacing blue glare.

"Heh, you impudent fool. You think you can take on Heine and Juliet, Lady Irene's trusted right and left hand?" Heine scoffed, seeing Mira's warning all as false bravado.

"Yeah, and that's Juliet and Heine by the way." Juliet snickered, the two had suffered a few bruises from Mira previous blast attack. But other than that, they weren't injured.

"Very well then." Mira cupped her hand together, as a giant swirl of dark energy began concentrating between her hands. The wind itself was pulled towards Mirajane, and her attack unleashed a dark violet ominous glow.

"Wh-What the?!" Heine gasped in fright at the amount of power Mira gathered at once with such ease.

"The hell is this… she gathered all that energy just like that." Juliet as well looked frightened, in responds she created a giant beast made out of the mucus of her acid magic.

"Soul Extinction." Mira thrusted her arms forward, and unleashed a giant destructive wave of power. The wave let out a loud "DOOOM" sound as it tore through the clouds. Mira even moved the wave with her arms, as it crashed into the battalion behind Heine and Juliet. The cries of their men were snuffed out quick, as Mirajane's attack obliterated them within an instant.

Shakingly Heine and Juliet turned around, only to see a massive scorch mark left on the earth where their soldiers stood. Nothing was left of their battalion, not even ashes. "Monster…" Heine quickly turned to face Mira, launching several black bands towards her.

Mira without even flinching caught the bands, as they sneered themselves around tightly on her forearm. "You are mine!" Heine claimed with a wicked smirk as a surge of lightning shot itself out from her hands, and soared through the bands.

"Evil Spark." Mira didn't even flinch at seeing the attack, and instead unleashed her own lightning attack. Mira's lightning raged down the bands, and clashed with Heine's lightning, but swiftly and easily Mira's spell broke through as her lightning overpowered Heine's. Heine gasped as she was electrocuted, and then launched several feet into the air.

The lightning had fried, and tore the bands to pieces. Juliet rushed at Mirajane with her mucus monster slime. Mira eyed the monster without little care, as she stretched out her arms and began spinning around. The water from the sea rose, and danced around Mirajane as it gathered into her hands. "Evil Explosion!" Mira unleashed a massive water blast at the mucus slime monster, the water washing it away into the sea.

"No way…" Juliet gasped as Mira suddenly blitzed her, getting right up in her face. Juliet trembled in fear as she stared into the ice-cold death glare of Mirajane's Satan Soul. "H-Heine! Help!" Juliet trembled, she nearly wet herself out of fear.

Heine came to the aid, throwing kunai knifes out from her cloak. Mira blocked the kunai knifes with a swipe of her demon tail. Juliet and Heine quickly jumped back. They kept thinking they were the fools to assume Mirajane was the appetizer. To Mira, these two weren't even worth being called appetizers. "H-Heine! Let's call Lady Irene, this girl is bad news!" Juliet trembled, and Heine couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Lisanna in the meantime did as Mirajane had ordered, she ran north towards the guild with Warren. Lisanna trembled, clenching her fists as Mirajane was in her thoughts. Her big sister was pregnant, and currently fighting, what is more Mirajane hadn't told her husband Itachi yet. Lisanna recalled what she told Mira before the wedding. If Mira didn't tell Itachi, she would. 'I'm sorry Mira-nee.' Lisanna bit her lip, she wanted Mira to be the one to tell Itachi. But with Mira in potential danger, Lisanna could not avoid the subject anymore. "Warren! Patch me through Itachi with your telepathy!"

"Huh? Now?!" Warren looked confused at Lisanna's request, although flinched as she glared at him.

"Now!" Lisanna hissed, looking kind of scary.

"R-Right away!" Warren moved his right hand towards his temple, holding his middle and index finger onto his temple as he focused. "Okay, I got you guys connected."

"Itachi! It's Lisanna I need to talk to you!" Lisanna awaited the responds from her brother-in-law.

"Lisanna?" Itachi's voice responded through the telepathy, sounding a bit surprised at this sudden call. "Can this wait? I am rather busy."

Lisanna didn't waste any time, and shouted. "It's Mira-nee! She's in trouble! She's fighting against two strong Alvarez wizards!" Lisanna couldn't hear anything as Itachi got silent on his end.

Itachi was currently sensing the situation, indeed the two wizards fighting Mira were strong, but they paled in comparison to Mira herself. "Lisanna there is no need to worry, Mirajane is strong enough to handle those two."

"Dammit Lisanna…" Lisanna curses at herself, as she thought she really had to result in telling Itachi. "It's not a question on whether she can or can't win! Mirajane is pregnant!" As Lisanna shouts those words, everything goes silent with the exception of a surprised long gasp from Warren. Lisanna waits for a respond from Itachi, but when she doesn't hear anything, she can only assume he is in shock. "She needs your-"

Before Lisanna can finish, what sounds as if the sky itself was ripped open reaches her ears. In the distance a black energy pillar of darkness exploded. The clouds in the sky parted away, as Lisanna sees a black wave of energy fly by over her at super speed. She caught a glimpse of the head of the wave, it was Itachi, rushing straight towards Mirajane's direction. "-help." Lisanna finished and then sighed. "Sorry, Mira-nee… It couldn't wait."

Heine and Juliet were full on panic, they threw a series of attacks towards Mirajane who only powered through them with ease. Heine's bands merely bouncing off from Mirajane's aura, and Juliet's mucus slime disintegrating before it even reached Mira's skin. "Ah! Ah!" Heine and Juliet cried out, as Mira latched her claws onto their faces.

"I did warn you." Mira says as she hoists the two girls into the air and slams the back of their heads into the ground. Two massive pillars of exploding energy rocked the beach. When the dust cleared, it revealed two big blood splatters and the two headless bodies of Heine and Juliet. Mira sighs as she exits her Satan Soul form and back to her base form, she stumbles back a bit, looking with pity at the two headless corpses of Heine and Juliet. "I offered you a way out, and you didn't take it… I don't really like killing people. But for my family, I will do anything to protect them." Mira stroked her hand over her belly, feeling the pure energy of her and Itachi's unborn undeveloped child.

Smoke begins emitting from the headless corpses of Heine and Juliet, Mira gasps as their bodies begin to melt and morph. Before her, laid two broken swords, one white and one black. "A white… and a black sword? Is this an enchantment?" Mira's eyes widened in terror, sweat began running down her face. "Do you mean to tell me… A personality was enchanted onto two swords? That can't be… To think there was someone this fearsome amongst the enemy ranks." For an enchanter to manage such a feat, it could only be a high enchanter.

Mira was so stunned at this revelation, she didn't notice the Scarlet Despair, Irene floating down behind her. "It seems you showed my children quite the bit of affection. How nice of you." Irene smiled, as Mira's face turned white in terror from sensing Irene's magic power.

'When did she?! What is this magic power, it is beyond terrifying!' Mira while distracted by her thoughts, couldn't react as Irene snapped her fingers. And black bands emerged from the black sword, and bound themselves around Mirajane, binding her against a rock. With another snap of her finger, mucus from the white sword sprayed at Mirajane, the acid like liquid beginning to melt her clothes. Mira cried out in pain and agony.

"I will not let you die a swift death. I will first take that beautiful white silky skin of yours. And make it so unsightly you'll look like a disgusting worn out rag. By the time I am done with you, you will look like a piece of rotten meat." Irene smiled sadistically as she took in the cries of Mirajane.

"Irene." A voice rang, the mucus burning Mira's skin vanished as it vaporized before this new magic power. August along with Brandish arrived on the scene, the old man glaring at Irene. "Those habits of yours are uncouth to say the least."

"Oh my~" Irene greeted the old man with a smirk. "It's nice to see you again, Lord August." Irene's tone of voice was filled with sarcasm as she greeted the leader of the twelve, her leader. "And Brandish is with you as well. My how you've grown~" Irene greeted the Country Demolisher with a friendly smile.

"Hello." Brandish gave a nervous bow at Irene, the mightiest female member of the twelve, as well as the second strongest, Irene Belserion. Mirajane in the meantime, trembled in fear at what she was sensing. The sheer power from August and Irene was beyond overwhelming.

"You went and used Universe One without his majesties permission I see." August's glare intensified.

"Indeed. With Acnologia starring me in the face, I am afraid I was left with little choice. That being said, I not only successfully drove Acnologia and Madara away for the time being. I transported his majesty to Fairy Tail. You have no grounds to criticize or reprimand me, wouldn't you say?"

"Two of the Twelve are dead. The rest are to move in and meet up with his majesty." August didn't deny Irene's claim. Indeed, it did make their objective easier, but for some reason August was still infuriated.

"Well, I don't want to. I move around as I like." Irene pouted and turned away from August.

"This is my command as the General of the Twelve. There will be no compromises. Not this time." August was firm in his decision, and stared down Irene as the two unleashed their auras. Brandish stepped back as she let out a nervous gulp.

"So be it, I'll let you save face on this occasion." Irene sighed, giving in to August's demand. "However, not before I kill this girl who raised her hand against my beloved children, I will not compromise on that-" Before Irene could finish August shot a beam from his finger at the restrained Mirajane.

Mira gasped, tears forming in her eyes as she saw the beam close in on her. 'Itachi…' Was all she could think about, and on que a wave of darkness came crashing down and the bare hand of Itachi smacked the beam away whilst cutting Mirajane free from her restraints.

August, Irene and Brandish all gasped at this sudden interference. 'He deflected an attack from August?' Brandish looked astonished, that was a rare feat to witness. August and Irene both calmly stared down this intruder, as their eyes saw the red glowing eyes of Itachi glaring back at them.

Demonic darkness snared itself around Itachi's body, he had already entered his Partially Transformed state. His arms cloaked in demonic darkness, along with all of his lower body. Massive wings of demonic darkness emerged from his back, and morphed themselves into a black demonic cloak. Black horns grew out from his forehead, and black lines went across his face and over his eyes. And the most important feature, the black letter mark of "E" on his bare chest. Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan then morphs into a ripple pattern, and changes color into purple turning into the Rinnegan.

Itachi was in full control, his emotional state not affected yet by the corruption of the dark power of E. Itachi doesn't utter a single word to the Spriggan members before him. Instead, his full attention is on Mirajane. The darkness around his right-hand parts away, as Itachi gently strokes his hand across Mirajane's belly. Itachi sensed it, a bright glowing innocent source of energy growing within his wife, so pure, so innocent. Itachi holds onto Mirajane tightly, not wanting to let go of her no matter what. "Why didn't you tell me?" Itachi asks shakingly, taking in the sensation of his unborn child.

Mirajane looks a bit guilty and saddened. "I didn't want to put more pressure on you. The guild needed you, and I couldn't do anything to distract you from that. Not during a time like this." Itachi doesn't say anything, and instead nods in understanding at his wife's reasoning.

"What is this? Is this E?" Irene questions as she and August continues to stare Itachi down.

Itachi on the other hand is so focused on Mirajane, he completely ignores August and Irene. Itachi just continues to gently rub Mirajane's belly, whilst shedding a tear. Mira seeing this cup her hand around Itachi's face. "Oh, Itachi… What are we going to do?" Mirajane like Itachi cried, Itachi then grabs onto her hand.

Itachi holds onto Mirajane's hand firmly and in a comforting manner, as he strokes his thumb across the back of her hand. "We're not going to worry about anything right now…" Itachi smiles at her. Itachi's gaze was filled with so much love. The mere thought of something so pure as his unborn child, filled Itachi with great feelings of love. Itachi's skin begins turning pale white, along with his black hair also turning white. Black Truth Seeker Orbs begin floating around Itachi's back, as he fully embraced and entered his E form. "This is a happy moment." Itachi remained conscious, even as he fully transformed into his E form.

Within Itachi's mind, E let out a beastly shriek although his darkness was blown away and obliterated by this pure feeling of love Itachi felt in this very moment. For once, the pool of darkness in Itachi's mindscape was crystal clear as the blue waters of the sea. Itachi lifts his head, tears of joy running down from his Rinnegan eyes, as he gives an honest loving smile. "Happiest moment of my life."

"Itachi…" Mira smiled as she cried tears of joy from seeing how happy her husband was at the news, in that moment all her worries washed away.

Itachi's pure feelings of joy from that he was going to become a father, was so powerful and strong, that the will of E was blown away. And Itachi fully tapped into his demonic power without losing control to the monster within. The sheer pure thought of his unborn child, gave Itachi a new level of strength none had thought was possible, he had tamed the Demon of Extinction.

Brandish fell to her knees as she felt the overwhelming power unleashed from Itachi, with his Demon form fully tamed and under his control. Itachi had become stronger than any of the Twelve, Zeref and Acnologia. August and Irene both looked cautious, even though they felt this surge of power both remained level headed and fearless. August raised his staff, as he glared at Itachi and Mirajane. "Melt." Sparks ignited in the surrounding area around Itachi and Mirajane, which erupted into a gigantic pillar of swirling blazing fire. The entire area was set ablaze in the face of the General of the Spriggan Twelve.

August narrowed his gaze, as the molten lava left by his blast cooled down. His fire snuffed out, and midst the smoke was a black sphere of darkness. The sphere opened revealing an unharmed Itachi and Mirajane. Itachi still smiled as he held Mirajane closely to his side, he wouldn't let any harm befall his wife and unborn child. A speck of darkness from Itachi's hand latched itself onto Mirajane, covering her entire stomach area.

"It will shield you throughout the rest of the war. Not even a magic blast should be able to penetrate it." Itachi gently stroked Mirajane's belly one last time, taking in the pure feeling of energy growing within his wife. Their child. "Heh, once this war is over… I'm going to have to babyproof the guildhall." Itachi vanished on the spot, jumping right towards August this time his battle mode was fully activated. "You are the leader of the Twelve, correct? That is perfect, I shall erase you right here and now."

August smirked as he unleashed the full blunt force of his aura to clash with Itachi. "You can try, boy." August's aura turned into a gigantic fist that clashed with Itachi, who countered with his own demonic powered fist. "So, this is E's demonic darkness? Interesting." August didn't flinch even as his giant aura fist began to crack under the pressure from Itachi's demonic fist.

Red spectral Susano'o arms shot out from Itachi's side, both gathering their hands together and raised up high, and were swiftly swung downwards at August. To Itachi's surprise however, August held the fists of his Susano'o back with merely his staff. Itachi's Susano'o grew into the upper body state, the spectral warrior roared in the face of an unfaced August.

"Crush." August mumbled, and a surge of magic power unleashed in a wave shaped in the pattern of a fishnet clashed into the Susano'o, breaking it apart.

'That was Gildarts' Crush magic…' Itachi widened his eyes as August's level of Crush magic far surpassed even that of Gildarts himself.

"Blast." August mumbled, as sparks ignited all around Itachi, detonating into a violent torrent of explosions. August then looked towards Mirajane, a pulse of magic energy emitting from the end of his staff as it touched the ground. "Sink."

Mira let out a surprised gasp, as the ground suddenly felt like sand. Mira was sinking into the ground. Itachi grunted as he turned away from August for a moment, and was then blasted in the back from a giant blazing red enchantment wave from Irene that tore apart the land beneath Itachi. Mirajane looked angry. They were using her to catch Itachi off guard. "You thought I would remain useless while my husband fights you monsters?" A violent demonic aura exploded from around Mirajane, clearing away the sand bellow her feet. "Satan Soul: Alegria!"

This sudden burst of power caught August, Irene and Brandish by surprise. They watched as Mirajane's blue eyes glowed in a glint of red. Her clothing replaced with a dark form-fitting body suit with light colored knee guards, and light segmented boots. Her forearms gained segmented-like protrusions, and her fingers were cladded in armor like scales. Her ears grew pointy like that of an elf. And forming around her head, was a thorn-like headband carrying the emblem of Tartaros in the center. Sprouting out from Mirajane's back, were six armored segmented tendrils that looked almost identical to the floating cube Plutogrim that belonged to Tartaros.

The sea water evaporated in the face of Mirajane's explosive magic power. "After our battle with Tartaros, there were a lot of demon souls ripe for the taking. So, I ate them all~" Mirajane licked her lips.

"This girl…" Irene understood how her second in commands easily lost to someone like Mirajane, this girl's power easily rivaled some of the Twelve.

"Takeover magic, eh?" August stroked his beard, seeming fascinated by Mirajane's transformation and her power.

Mirajane stretched her arms out, as dozens spheres of energy formed around her. "Evil Explosion!" All spheres launched into massive waves of dark energy, the sheer power rocked the space around them as they soared towards Irene and August.

"Holy Light." August tapped his staff to the ground, to which a radiant angelic like light exploded around them. The light was so blinding, Itachi and Mirajane needed to shield their eyes.

"High-Enchantment: Scarlet Barrier." A bubble of scarlet red energy grew from Irene, and shielded her, August and Brandish as it caught the bombardment of Mirajane's attack.

Itachi and Mirajane both grunted, as smoke emitted from their bodies due to the Holy Light released by August, it was burning their demon bodies. "Extinction's Wrath." A massive wave of darkness exploded from Itachi's very being, the roaring darkness pushed back August's light, and devoured it in its endless pit of darkness and despair.

Through the darkness August saw a glint of red, and gasped as suddenly his body froze on the spot. In the background he could feel a red eye ball, with a black pinwheel spinning around glaring at him. "Tsukuyomi!" Itachi briefly switched his Rinnegan back into his Mangekyou to cast his mightiest genjutsu onto August.

August hummed as he looked around, seeing the sky was red and black. Before August knew it, he was nailed onto a cross and looked down to see an ocean of Itachi's in his E form. All wielding blades of demonic darkness. August groaned in pain, his eyes twitching and sweat beginning to run down his forehead as the first Itachi stabbed him with the blade of demonic darkness. The blade was digging into his abdomen, increasing the pain as it cut through more nerves by wiggling and digging around inside of him.

"I see… an illusion that affects all of a person's five senses. Quite the useful ability, it probably greatly affects my sense of time. So, nearly a century in here, and yet only a moment will have passed in the real world." August unleashed a pulse of magic power from his body, he tightened his fists as he pulled apart the cross restraining his arms. The sky turned black and white. "Ugh!" August groaned, as suddenly the cross was recreated, and he was stuck once more, this time with five different blades of darkness piercing his body.

All the various Itachi's looked a bit surprised. August was slightly able to resist against the Tsukuyomi, his willpower was incredibly strong. "In this world, time, space and even physical matter. I control them all. In this world, I am God." All the Itachi's around August declared as one by one, they all began stabbing him.

"I see, it not only affects the senses, but the brain itself. Normally with illusions, you change the course of once Ethernano to stimulate their brain to create hallucinations. But you, you pour in your own energy into another person through direct eye contact, and take full control over a person's five senses and their brain. You could even trick a person's brain into thinking they had aged to the point where their inner organs would shut themselves down. You are a frightening man, Itachi Uchiha. In some ways, even more so than Madara." August praised Itachi, even as he was being continuously violently stabbed hundreds of times over.

The color of the space around them continued to switch from red and black, to black and white. August continued to resist, he was fully taking in this feeling of Itachi's Tsukuyomi, it was a learning process for the old wizard. 'August, his willpower is unlike anything I have ever seen… No, it's not just that… he shut off his senses of pain reception. He used magic to shut off one of his senses?!' Itachi looked in shock, seeing as August was no longer twitching and groaning in agony.

All the Itachi's surrounding August proceeded to light him on fire with a solid fireball jutsu. August's body was burning, the flesh tearing itself off from his very bone. "Interesting, this has been quite the valuable learning experience." August smiled as suddenly the space around them cracked, the cracks spreading like a cobweb, then the world collapsed.

In the real world, August collapsed face first into the ground, and Itachi onto his knee. "He broke free…" Itachi looked in astonishment, August broke free from the Tsukuyomi, even though he wasn't a wielder of the Mangekyou or an Uchiha. August had broken free by using some sort of spell that shut off all five senses in himself, with no senses to stimulate the Tsukuyomi had become null and void. Not only that, but August had also shut off his own brain functions. What sort of magic did the General of the Twelve possess?

August's arms twitched, as he pushed himself back up from the ground. Cold sweat visible on his face, August had trouble breathing it would seem whatever spell he did took quite the toll on his body. August' chest heaved up and down, as he tried to catch his breath. "Irene, distract them… my brain functions need time to return to normal." August ordered, his fingers lightly twitching as his brain was slowly regaining its functions over his body.

'He rebooted his entire system to kick me out of his mind? I have never even heard of magic like this before…' Itachi stood back up. The Tsukuyomi hadn't taken as much of a toll on him as he had expected. It seems due to E's power. The Tsukuyomi had barely drained any of Itachi's chakra and stamina. 'That August, I am clearly stronger than him… but his knowledge on magic and the various spells he possesses, might possibly make him a greater threat than Zeref himself.' Itachi could clearly understand why August was the General of the Spriggan Twelve.

Irene jumped between the downed August, and Itachi directing her staff towards the Uchiha. "Scarlet Despair." The sky itself looked as a red as a fresh sunrise, scarlet lights emitted from Irene's staff as she launched forward a massive blast attack of destructive energy.

Itachi's eyes widened as the massive spectral body of his Susano'o grew in a mere second, and sliced Irene's blast attack in half with a mere swing of its sword. Mirajane then blitzed Irene's field of vision and threw a heavy punch at the enchanter. Irene however blocked the heavy weight of Mirajane's fist with merely her staff. "Enchantment: Mirror Wall." A bright light shined from Irene's staff, Mirajane gasped and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her face as if the force of her own punch hit her.

Itachi was quick to catch Mirajane midair, the couple twirled as Mirajane held her arm out. "Thorns!" Thorny rose vines stabbed out from the ground, and snared themselves around Irene like snakes. "Spiral Explosions!" With a wave of her arm, Mirajane unleashed a torrent of explosions that clashed into Irene.

"Command T: Expansion!" The gap of the rose vines grew, and their grip on Irene loosened. Irene smirked as she slipped right out from the grip of the accursed rose vines.

"Thank you, Brandish." Irene thanked the Country Demolisher for breaking her free.

"Crush!" A magic wave shaped like a fishnet flung itself towards Itachi and Mirajane, Itachi quickly acted and tossed a Truth Seeker Orb to intercept. The orb easily tore apart August's Crush magic and then returned to Itachi's side.

"Hmm, it would seem those orbs are nearly indestructible." August hummed, having regained the functions of his own body, he was back in the fight.

"Are you alright, gramps?" Brandish tried to help support August up a bit.

"Yes, I am fine Brandish. You had best stand back as support, this could get dangerous." August instructed as he stood with Irene.

"My, how adorable. Seeing you act like a concerned grandpa." Irene taunted August a bit, but was met with a mere grunt from her superior.

"Itachi! Toss me!" Mirajane commanded, Itachi gave a quick nod and latched his claw onto Mira's ankle, and flung her straight towards Irene and August. The force of Itachi's toss alone, and Mira using her own speed made them break the sound barrier as in less than a blink of an eye Mira was right in front of them.

"Pluto Howl!" Mirajane's mouth was wide open, as she unleashed a mighty demonic Banshee like cry, sending sound waves that tore apart the surrounding terrain. Followed by a blinding dark purple light of energy exploding in a massive wave that eclipsed the surroundings of August and Irene.

Itachi in a flash appeared behind August and Irene, his cheeks puffed as he unleashed a giant blazing ball of fire. "Fire Style: Inferno Fireball!" Cloaking the giant blazing ball of fire in the black flames of the Amaterasu, the couple's combo attack successfully landed onto the two top members of the Twelve.

Mirajane and Itachi appeared standing together, as they watched the burning swirl of energy cloaked in black fire forming into a pillar of destructive energy that pierced the heavens. "Gramps!" Brandish shouted in despair.

The smoke cleared, revealing two burnt charred figures still consumed by the black flames of the Amaterasu. Brandish gasped, looking near tears as she stared at the burnt charred form of August. Itachi however, narrowed his gaze and was quick to grab onto Mirajane's arm and pull her away as a wave of red magic power came charging like a freight train towards her. "Clones…" Itachi could see it clear as day with his eyes, as the crumbling charcoaled figures of August and Irene vanished.

Itachi gazed up seeing both Irene and August coming flying down. "Heh, he caught on quickly." Irene smirked, like Madara nothing escaped Itachi's eyes.

"Ragnarök." August raised his arm, holding his middle finger and index finger out pointing upwards. Itachi widened his eyes as at least over a hundred magic circles formed in the heavens over them. Rays of light, like Jellal's Heavenly Body Magic came raining down onto them.

The entire beach had become a warzone, as it was plagued with various explosions, causing powerful tremors to rock the entire area. Brandish appeared in a flash next to August, as he had teleported his dearest apprentice to his side before the blast hit.

"Aera." With a snap of his fingers, August created white feathered wings like that of an Exceed onto Brandish's back to keep her afloat.

"Gramps…" Brandish looked relieved to see August was still alive.

"Look alive, that attack did nothing to him." August warned as the black burning smoke clouds were blown away by red spectral wings. Itachi's Perfect Susano'o howled as it spread its mighty wings, and leapt up towards August, Irene and Brandish.

Itachi was in the crystal jewel at the center of the head of the Susano'o, with Mirajane held tightly in his arms. "Yasaka Magatama!" The giant samurai armor cladded spectral warrior, held its arms crossed as it created two spinning beads of energy, and tossed them like a pair of shuriken at August and Irene.

August stretched his arms out, his magical aura exploding and expanding around him. The aura of his magic power grew into a giant spiritual avatar of himself. "I created this specifically to counter Madara's Susano'o." August revealed as he had essentially created his own version of the Susano'o using his magical aura as the base for it. The giant spectral avatar form of August, held its arms forward, catching the spinning Yasaka beads. The beads blew up in the grip of the giant avatar form of August, whose hands had been blown apart.

Itachi's Perfect Susano'o then swung its blade into the avatar form of August, slashing it across the torso. Although then a bright light emitted from the avatar, as if it was sprays of blood it emitted from the cut across its torso. Itachi shielded his eyes, holding onto Mirajane as they flew down to the ground to avoid the burning holy light. 'That avatar… is made up out of not only August's aura, but Holy magic as well?' Itachi couldn't help but think of it as the perfect counter to Madara and himself. The size of August's avatar matched that of the Perfect Susano'o, and the holy light elements in it would injure the demon side of Itachi and Madara.

August, Irene and Brandish landed onto solid ground before Itachi and Mirajane. August observed as Itachi still held tightly onto Mirajane. "A father's love for his wife and unborn child… it is a beautiful thing to witness." August sounded almost envious to Itachi, causing the young Uchiha to raise his brow at August. "But tell me… How does it feel to love a child you have yet to even meet? Logically it shouldn't make sense, for one to love someone this greatly without ever meeting them."

Itachi looks baffled at August's question. What sort of question was that? Why he could love his unborn child this much without even meeting them? Wasn't it obvious as to why? Itachi looked at August, and retorted with. "The fact that it is my child, a new life that is about to be born, produced from the love me and my wife Mirajane have for each other… Is all the reason I need to love it."

"Oh sweety." Mirajane smiled fawningly over Itachi, in her eyes her husband looked even handsomer and cooler than ever before in this very moment.

If Itachi had to describe the look on August's face, it was like August couldn't grasp Itachi's way of thinking. "You love your child… because it was produced from the love of you and your wife? In that case, how come his majesties' child was never loved?"

Itachi and Mirajane in that moment widened their eyes in shock. Zeref had a child? 'But if Zeref were to have a child, it would have had to be with Master Mavis, right? In that case, the child should be over 90 years old by now. Wait, don't tell me…' As Itachi was caught in his train of thought, Irene bombarded them with a series of scarlet-colored explosions.

"Tch! I thought I caught him off guard." Irene clicked her tongue, seeing the shade of Itachi's Susano'o shielding him and Mirajane.

"Mira, your magic power… is dropping at an alarming rate." Itachi warned, seeing that Mirajane was almost depleted of her supply of Ethernano.

"Yeah, sorry… this form is powerful but it consumes a lot of energy." Mirajane was beginning to breath heavily, she had maybe enough in her for one last attack. Alegria was far more exhausting in the long run than she could have ever realized.

Mirajane at that moment rushed out from the Susano'o, bringing a gleaming look on Irene's face as she was ready to eradicate Mirajane on the spot. "Enchantment: Erasure!" Irene launched rays of red energy towards Mirajane, however teleporting in-between the waves and Mirajane, was Itachi. The red energy waves spreading across his body like crackling red lightning, to a normal person it would be extremely painful. But to Itachi, the red lightning didn't even pierce through his demonic darkness, let alone his pale white skin.

"Bansho Ten'in!" Irene found herself getting pulled in by a gravitational force, lifting her up from the ground and straight towards Itachi. Sticking out from Itachi's hand, was a black chakra rod. Itachi thrusted the rod forward at Irene, who quickly acted as her body turned pale white, and got covered in scales. A scaly hand shot out and grabbed onto the chakra rod before it could stab Irene's body.

"Like I would let you take me down that easily!" Irene growled like a feral beast, Itachi widened his eyes a bit at this sudden transformation, but paid it no heed for now.

"Shinra Tensei!" Irene gasped, the wind getting knocked out of her as a gravitational push launched her into a plateau at the side of the beach. Irene violently crashed into it and ended up buried underneath a pile of rubble.

Mirajane charged right at August, throwing a heavy fist which the old man with ease blocked, by knocking Mirajane's arm aside. August attempted to thrust his staff forward at Mirajane, but the She-Devil flipped midair, gracefully landing onto August's staff before launching herself forward headbutting the Wizard King. The force of Mirajane's headbutt launched August back a few feet.

Mirajane then proceeded to cup her hands together, as she gathered up a violent storm of energy between her hands. "Hellfire!" Mirajane thrusted her arms forward, unleashing a violent fiery blast into August at near point-blank range. The light of the blast consumed the entire beach, with a "DOOM!" sound echoing around them.

"Did I get him?" Mira tries to sense for any signs of August midst the burning flames left by the explosion of her attack. She quickly gasped as she saw cubes coming flying out from the smoke. Mirajane was quick to try and shield herself with her forearms, but the cubes harshly bombarded into her. The cubes flew in a swirl around her, and gathered themselves into the shape of a figure, as the cubes reformed themselves into August.

Irene crawled out from a pile of rubble, a trickle of blood running over her right eye. Itachi's attack had knocked the wind out of here, if she hadn't used a durability enhancement enchantment, she without a doubt would have died from the blast. 'That was too close for comfort.' Irene thought, her body aching in agony as she had a few broken bones. Her body was also covered in what appeared as white scales.

"Mira." Itachi quickly went to Mirajane's side. Itachi wouldn't let them continue to target Mirajane like this.

"I'm okay, a little bruised up… I know you put this darkness on me to protect our baby… but I couldn't help but still…" Mira's face was a little swollen, as she had mainly used her arms to protect her stomach area. "Don't worry, I can still fight."

August let out a hum, stroking his beard as he continued to watch the couple interact with interest. "I must comment you, young lady. You are quite powerful. In fact, just by our little short skirmish now I can tell you are far stronger than Bloodman and Ajeel ever were." August praised Mirajane. Mira's takeover magic was nearly as strong as Dimaria's. "In fact, I would say in your current form you probably rival Brandish here."

Brandish didn't voice any protest, from what she had seen so far, she couldn't help but agree to August's statements in regards to Mirajane's power. "Not to mention, I never expected Itachi Uchiha to tame the powers of E." August stroked his beard, Itachi indeed had surpassed all in this war but Madara. Although, August could tell that Itachi's was greatly concerned for his pregnant wife's safety, and was thus holding back some of his power. But was that the only reason? August couldn't help but wonder. "How about this for an offer, if you both surrender now I shall offer you both to claim the empty seats amongst the Twelve left by Bloodman and Ajeel."

August's offer greatly shocked Brandish, she didn't think he actually would offer the two empty seats up to two enemies. Mirajane and Itachi didn't show any reaction, and merely continued to glare at the old man. Irene however, was infuriated. "Don't you dare fuck with me August. That woman killed my two precious children. I will not allow her to claim a seat amongst the Twelve. Besides, I already have a replacement in mind for either Ajeel or Bloodman." Irene declared, her mind drifting over to an image of Erza that she saw with her Eye Magic.

"Sorry, but we're not interested." Itachi declared and Mirajane gave a firm nod agreement. Suddenly Itachi vanished from their sights and appeared right in front of them with his hand held out. "Shinra Tensei!" Itachi unleashed a gravitational push, launching August, Irene and Brandish away into the distance. "Chibaku Tensei!" One of Itachi's Truth Seeker Orbs flew into the sky above, generating a mighty gravitational force. The ground and surrounding area was torn apart. August, Irene and Brandish were lifted into the air, all standing one a rocky platform as they were pulled into the center of this gravity core.

"My, quite the interesting Jutsu." August stroked his beard, looking intrigued. "Irene, fire of your strongest long ranged attack. Brandish, reduce the size of the core."

"R-Right!" Brandish reached out for the giant forming planetary sphere that was forming in the heavens. "Command T: Reduction!"

Irene weaved her staff a bit. "Destructive Enchantment: Disappear!" Sparks of red glowing magic power formed around the Chibaku Tensei, and imploded into a series of multi giant red colored explosions.

"All Crush." A massive force of power was unleashed from August, as he used Gildarts' strongest spell with such ease, and with at least double the amount of power Gildarts ever could manage.

The Chibaku Tensei's core shrunk, making it weaker, and with the attacks of Irene and August the entire planetary sphere exploded. A blinding flash of light illuminated around them. August, Irene and Brandish fell back onto solid ground, Brandish trembling and still shaken up at feeling Itachi's power.

"I figured… they escaped." August sighed as Itachi and Mirajane were both long gone.

Far away, flying through the sky like a black bullet of darkness were Itachi, and in his arms were Mirajane. "Why did you run? With you like this you could have eliminated all three of them."

"I could have, yes. But right now, your safety is my top priority." Itachi of course knew he could eliminate August and Irene back there. But at the same time, he knew all it would take was one slip up on his end, and August or Irene would have grabbed the chance to kill Mirajane. They both clearly showed the intent to do just that moments ago. That was not a risk or a gamble Itachi was willing to take.

"Itachi…" Mirajane held tightly onto Itachi, she felt like a burden. Itachi had the opportunity to eliminate two big threats to their guild, yet he decided to save her and their unborn child instead. Mirajane couldn't blame Itachi for it, if she were in his shoes, she would have done the same.

'… That August, he is different from the rest.' Itachi thought on the Spriggan Twelve General, the old man had shown levels of power that easily put him leagues above the rest of the twelve, with maybe the exception of that Irene woman. 'He was even able to figure out how to deal with the Chibaku Tensei… I should put Mira somewhere safe and go back to finish him and Irene. The safety of our guild, which includes Mirajane are my top priority.' Itachi then thought back on when August mentioned Zeref having a child, however Itachi was quick to push that thought out of his mind. For his guild and comrades, he would take down any threat regardless. Itachi however then sensed that August, Irene and Brandish were also long gone by now. 'Guess they realized the situation they were in…' Itachi clicks his tongue, August and Irene would have to wait for a later time.

August, Irene and Brandish teleported away with August using the same type of magic as Mest Gryder. "That was close…" August let out a long sigh, luckily things went according to his prediction. That if Itachi truly loved his unborn child, he wouldn't dare put the child at risk and take the first chance he could get to take his wife and flee to protect them.

"Why don't we follow them?" Brandish asks August, in her eyes judging by the situation they had the edge since Itachi needed to worry about Mirajane.

"If we did, and killed that woman… Nothing would stop Itachi Uchiha from killing us. Our chances of victory against the power of the Demon of Extinction, with just the three of us are less than 10%. We would need his Majesty to obtain Fairy Heart before we could even dare to challenge Itachi Uchiha again. That or let Itachi and Madara kill each other." August revealed, he and Irene both knew they couldn't defeat Itachi Uchiha. And both therefor without even exchanging a single word through that battle, came up with the plan to target Mirajane to force Itachi to take Mirajane and their unborn child to safety. Thus, effectively saving their own lives.

"Yes, well do have fun, August, Brandish. I will be taking my leave now." Irene without wasting a single second, vanished in an instant with teleportation.

"Irene…!" August growled, after he went to all this trouble to find her. August swore if Irene did not just teleport to Zeref's side, she would be in for a world of pain.

"Let's go, gramps." Brandish calmed down the angered August, grabbing onto his hand. August took in a couple of deep breaths.

"Right… Let's go." August while holding onto Brandish teleported. Although not towards Zeref's location, August had a job to gather all the remaining members of the Twelve.

Zeref continued to fire off rounds of Death Balls, as Mavis sent them bouncing around the room with defensive magic circles. "You are quick with your mind, my love." Zeref smiled as he stopped the bombardment. "Still going to continue playing on the defensive?" Zeref taunted.

Mavis narrowed her gaze at Zeref, she wasn't going to win by playing on the defensive. Even if Zeref would run out of magic power way before she would, as she never would with Fairy Heart, it was still going to drag out some time as Zeref had a vast pool of magic power. Like a sickening poisonous swamp, in comparison to Mavis's own that felt like a deep endless pure blue ocean. Zeref was still immortal, unless she could figure out a plan to beat Zeref real quick, this would end in Zeref's victory.

"You could use the spells of the Death God like I am, you know? That would make for an interesting battle. Two immortals using the spell of the Death God himself, I wonder if that would be able to kill us? I have never fought a fellow cursed immortal after all." Zeref's eyes gleamed a menacing shade of red, his smile looking rather sadistic as he walked closer to Mavis. "Want to test it out, Mavis?"

"And end up angering Ankhseram further to worsen my curse? No thanks. You only continue to poison your own fate by using those forbidden spells so carelessly." At Mavis's words Zeref only ended up chuckling.

"What more can that accursed God do to me? I have no feeling left in me. I kill all that I touch, all that I love wither away and decay at my fingertips… All, except you. Once I obtain Fairy Heart, I will change history, I will change fate and challenge the Gods themselves. I shall claim their throne in the heavens." Zeref declared with a twisted smile on his face, his mind was truly lost. Which only saddened Mavis further.

"This power… you really think you could challenge the Gods? You would be lucky if it gave you an edge over Acnologia." Mavis declared, pointing out that even if Zeref obtained Fairy Heart there was no guarantee he would grow from a man, to a God. At best he would be a cursed walking corpse with infinite magic power, with power to manipulate space and time.

"Heh, you wouldn't really know anything about Fairy Heart's true potential, Mavis." Zeref declared, causing Mavis to raise her brow in confusion. "I notice you haven't been releasing any death energy, yet you continue to value life. Why is that?" Zeref tauntingly asked as if he already knew the answer. "It's because you continue to restrict Fairy Heart, using a great deal of its power to restrain the effects of your curse. That power you are using to restrain the death waves, is keeping you from reaching Fairy Heart's full potential."

Mavis didn't voice any objections, meaning the words Zeref said were true. Indeed, she had been using Fairy Heart to prevent the death waves from unleashing from her body, to prevent the death of her comrades around her.

"If you only had been more like me, and learnt how to not care about the importance of life. Then, you could have harnessed the true power of Fairy Heart, and quite possibly have become the mightiest being in this entire war." Zeref clenched his fists, holding his arms out to the side he gave a crazed smile at Mavis. "It is quite ironic, this power of love and friendship you adore so much, and center so much around your own ideology has become your greatest weakness in this battle. Your love for these pathetic guildmates and "comrades" of yours, restrain you from your true power. And that, Mavis, is why you are weak."

"Indeed, I alone am weak." Mavis acknowledges, and lowers her gaze. "However, my feelings of love, and my bonds of friendship with my guildmembers from Fairy Tail. Has granted me a power far greater than Fairy Heart ever could have." Mavis despite her small stature, stood tall and firm. "Alone I am truly weak, however together with my friends I am stronger than you ever could imagine! The combined power of me and my guildmembers, are stronger than you, Acnologia and Madara ever will be!"

At hearing Mavis's retort, Zeref only smirks. "Such nonsense, it is about time you wake up to reality my love."

"Wake up to reality? You are the one who needs to wake up, because I have never been asleep, love." Mavis declared, sarcastically adding the "love" part at the end of her declaration.

"Heh, my so feisty." Zeref snorted in a laugh.

"You seem to be having quite the fun time with your lover, your majesty." Arriving out from a vortex portal, was Irene. The mightiest woman in all of the empire, smirking as she looked down on Mavis from where she sat. Irene was floating midair, seated on her own staff as if it was a witch's broom.

Mavis visibly tensed, as she took a mere step backwards, much to Irene's delight as she giggled. "My, are you frightened by me young lady?" Irene teased as she jumped down, her heel gracefully touching the floor as winds blew around her from her aura. Mavis didn't flinch, she quietly eyed the high-level enchanter with a frown on her face.

"What will you do now, Mavis?" Zeref asked as with Mavis only being able to use Fairy Heart to this extent, there was no possible way for the founding Fairy Tail master to take down both himself and Irene.

"I will enjoy extracting Fairy Heart from you." Irene advanced on Mavis, taking slow antagonizing steps towards her. Irene towering menacingly over the petite Mavis, with her hand reached out almost like she was about to grab a hold of Mavis's heart.

"Heh." Mavis cracked a smile causing Irene to freeze in her tracks.

"Huh?" Irene raised her brow at seeing the smile on Mavis's face.

"I was waiting for this." Mavis revealed, as a loud rumbling echoed around them, the space was shaking. Irene froze as she heard the deafening dragon roar that made her blood run cold.

'Impossible, he couldn't possibly have beaten-' Before Irene could even finish her train of thought, the wall of the guildhall behind Mavis was ripped open by a black dragon scaly claw. And there was the roaring face of Acnologia, glaring right at Irene.

Irene gasped in shock, and took a few steps backwards as a cold sweat drenched her face. "Dammit!" Irene cursed, she imagined she had bought them plenty of time by using Universe One to pit Acnologia and Madara against each other. She had ideally hoped that both would have killed each other.

"Irene! Don't be fooled!" Zeref shouted, Irene widened her eyes as she saw that appearing next to the smiling Mavis, was Mest. The teleporting wizard of Fairy Tail quickly grabbed onto Mavis's tiny body, and then vanished in a flash before either Zeref or Irene could react. "It was only an illusion! It is one of Mavis's specialties!" Zeref revealed, as the image of Acnologia was blown away with the wind.

Irene tightened the grip around her staff, she was visibly trembling with rage. Veins bulging around her temple, the pupils in her eyes shrunken into glaring daggers of hatred. "That little brat!" Irene cursed out loudly as Mavis had tricked her. Having used it to her advantage, that Irene didn't know of her abilities unlike Zeref. Mavis produced an illusion for Irene alone, all so that Mavis could buy herself some time to call Mest over to bail her out while Irene was caught in a state of shock. And thus, Fairy Heart had slipped out from their grasps.

Pushing through an open field in a forest, was the manly beast Elfman and the guilds self-proclaimed fairy and beauty Queen, Evergreen. "Do you know how lucky you are you ran into me? Be grateful." Evergreen huffed, her cheeks a little flushed red from embarrassment. As when the Universe One spell happened, Evergreen and Elfman had been teleported together in the middle of the woods. And Evergreen fell into his awaiting big, strong muscly arms. Evergreen quickly shook the thought out of her head, that big oaf dared carry her like a princess. Even though he looks like a brute he sure smells good. Evergreen once again shook her head to remove that last thought.

"Yeah! I would have been lonely on my own! I am grateful for you, Evergreen." Elfman gave a thumbs up and a cheeky grin at Evergreen, who blushed even more and huffed her head to the side so Elfman wouldn't notice.

"Yo! Ever! Elfman!" Coming flying down with his babies in tow, was Bickslow slowly followed by Freed.

"Has any of you seen Laxus?" Freed was quick to ask of the whereabouts of his master.

"Nah, he was with us during the battle of Magnolia, but haven't seen him since that strange red light appeared out of nowhere." Elfman replied.

"Well, knowing Laxus he will be fine~" Bickslow laughed as his dolls cheered in unison, repeating his words.

"Locked on." A voice whispered from the trees, as they fired a beam of energy towards the surprised group of Fairy Tail wizards.

"Baryon Formation!" Bickslow sent his babies before the blast, the dolls spinning around in a pentagram formation. The dolls generated up a green wall of energy to take on the blast. "Ugh!" Bickslow immediately felt the effect of the blast upon impact, his babies tried their best to tank it, but the blast simply broke through. Elfman and the Thunder God Tribe cried out in pain as the beam blasted between them, sending them flying in different directions.

"Heh, only four? I'm disappointed. Hey little punks? Remember me?" Wall Eehto stepped out with Blitzkrieg, who flew straight at Elfman and latched his mechanical hand around his throat.

"Hello! I'm here to pay you back for last time!" Blitzkrieg cackled as he punched the giant Elfman in the face.

Elfman growled as he glared at Blitzkrieg. "Perfect! I wanted to pummel you into a scrap pile anyway!" Elfman hadn't forgotten, the deaths of Edolas Jet, Droy and his own Edolas counterpart. In his anger, Elfman changed into his Lizard Man Takeover form. His massive green scaly hand latched onto Blitzkrieg, followed by a knee strike into the giant robot. Blitzkrieg was knocked off of Elfman, and sent skidding backwards.

"W-Who are you?" Freed looked at Wall Eehto who snickered at them.

"Have you forgotten me already? We had such a fun little game in that church." Wall snickered as suddenly turret guns appeared out from magic circles around him.

"You!" Bickslow snarled as he realized.

"I am Wall Eehto of the Spriggan Twelve! And I am here to finish the job!" Wall cackled as his turret guns charged up a lot of power. The clouds above them darkened, and the racket of thunder echoed in the heavens. A bolt of lightning came crashing down before Wall Eehto, who widened his eyes as a human shaped figure jumped out and headbutted him.

Wall Eehto groaned as he was knocked backwards into his own turrets. "The hell?" Wall Eehto picked himself up, looking like he hardly took any damage.

"So, you are the one?" Laxus stepped out from the flashing lightning behind him, tossing his coat aside he stared Wall Eehto down. "You are the one who hurt Freed, Bickslow, Ever and Ichiya?" Laxus snarled, as lightning flickered around his body.

"Ho? A lightning wizard, eh?" Wall snickered. Lightning had no effect on him after all. "Are you a friend of theirs?"

"Damn right I am!" Laxus charged like a lightning bolt at Wall Eehto, raising his lightning infused fist as he threw a heavy punch. A cybernetic hand then caught the punch, as the lightning tore through the sleeves of Wall Eehto's jumpsuit revealing robotic arms. The lightning getting absorbed into the palm of Wall Eehto's hand.

"That so?" Wall smirked as his other fist got surrounded by a blue energy bubble, as Wall slugged Laxus across the chin knocking him off balance. "That's so mean of them, not telling you that lightning has no effect on me. I have overcome that silly weakness." Laxus snarled as he spat some blood from his busted lip.

"They told me." Laxus replied, looking carefree and stoic.

"And yet you still challenge me? You must either be dumb or have a death wish. Or maybe both?" Wall cackled at Laxus' foolishness.

"Yeah, I am an idiot… And I don't mind dying either." Laxus increased the fire power, his lightning intensifying around him. "You said you overcame the weakness of lightning. Well, then I will just take my lightning beyond its limits, to show you something your damn tech never has seen before!"

"Well, you are correct in one thing. I don't think I have ever met a man as foolish as yourself." Wall smirked as he ripped off his entire jumpsuit, revealing some cybernetic armor beneath it.

"So, it ain't just that robot puppet of yours. You ain't human either?" Laxus snarled as he saw the cybernetic armor of Wall Eehto.

"Heh, I am far superior to you weak humans. I am a Machia, a sentient cybernetic lifeform. Magic circles formed around Wall Eehto. "Weakness detected. Alchemically fuse copper and zinc… And drill them into 9mm bullets… FIRE!" A barrage fire of bullets launched out from the magic circles, and headed straight for Laxus.

Laxus with a huff, sent a bolt of lightning crashing down. Wall gasped seeing the bullets getting torn apart in this lightning storm. Blitzkrieg froze on the spot, gaping as this human just negated Wall's Weakness ability. "Hoh~" Wall smirked with intrigue.

"I-Impossible!" Blitzkrieg cried out in shock, Elfman used this to his advantage and slugged the giant robot across the jaw sending Blitzkrieg crashing to the ground.

"That's Laxus for ya! He is a manly man amongst men!" Elfman declared, to which the Thunder God Tribe all collectively smiled and stood with Elfman.

"And you, mister tin can, we'll tear you apart!" Evergreen taunted Blitzkrieg.

"Don't be so sure, fraulein." Blitzkrieg sent out sonar waves from his body, and on que hundreds of red robot light glowed between the trees. They were surrounded, several Machias walked out from between the trees, they were identical to Wall's puppet that he had used to during the battle of Magnolia. "Master Wall Eehto and I brought our whole battalion!"

The entirety of Wall's battalion began charging up a blast, with Elfman and the Thunder God Tribe boxed in like this they had no means of escape. "Shit!"

"Guys!" Laxus took his eyes off his opponent for but a moment, but Wall used this opening and slammed his fist into Laxus, dragging the Lightning Dragon Slayer into the ground.

"You humans are so damn predictable!" Wall cackles.

Then, coming swinging down was a massive spectral fire sword, tearing through Wall's battalion of Machias. "Whatz this?!" Blitzkrieg gasps in shock, when suddenly someone kicks the second in command in the back of his robotic head, launching him several feet away.

"Nee-san?" Elfman widens his eyes as he saw the white silver haired Mirajane coming in for a rough landing before him.

"Huh?!" Wall is suddenly knocked to the floor, as a knee crashes violently into his back. Wall was pushed deeply into the ground, looking in shock.

"Itachi?" Laxus questioned, but no something was different about this Itachi. His hair was shorter, he looked older, and he didn't have the signature ponytail, he also had a stubby beard, and one of his arms was mechanical.

"I ain't your Itachi, I am from Edolas." The former Commander of the Edolas army, was War World Itachi.

"Then you are?" Elfman looked to Mirajane, who upon a closer look, looked a little older than his Mirajane. This was Edolas Mirajane.

"… You are Earthland Elfman, right?" Edolas Mirajane looked with a faint smile at seeing an alternate version of her own little brother.

"Y-Yeah… Sorry, but Edolas me, he-" Elfman looked ashamed, this was going to be some tough news to break to his sister's Edolas counterpart.

"I know… I sensed it." Edolas Mirajane however stops him, confirming she is aware of her younger brother's death. She was the last of her siblings from Edolas.

The former Commander looks to Laxus for a second, without a doubt he recognized the Lightning Dragon Slayer. "I see, in Earthland you are still alive, eh? Good." War World Itachi was then pushed back, as Wall Eehto rose back up from underneath the earth.

"Now, this is a rather unexpected turnout. But not unwelcomed." Wall smirked, even though half of his Machias were destroyed just now by War World Itachi's Susano'o just a few moments ago, he still very much liked his odds in this fight.

"You bastards… are the ones who killed Jet, Droy and Elfman, right?" War World Itachi unleashed a full blunt aura of bloodlust, the ground trembling beneath his feet. "My wife and I are going to pay you back tenfold."

Edolas Mirajane glared in anger at Blitzkrieg, her aura emitting bloodlust like her husband, her desire to avenge the death of her little brother fueling her bloodlust. "We know from the report you didn't directly kill Elfman… But you were there and fought him, and beat him down… So that gives me more than enough of a reason! As his big sister, to tear you apart!" Edolas Mirajane growled as she stared down Blitzkrieg.

"Heh, like our Itachi… you sure make quite the entrance." Laxus smirked as he stood with War World Itachi, starring down Wall Eehto.

"Ho~" Wall didn't seem concerned however, as he merely chuckled. "This is bad… I can hardly contain myself. I will enjoy tearing you meat bags apart!" Wall's armor began changing, upgrading. Spheres of electricity floating around him, rifles and turrets appearing from his body. "Analysis complete, estimate time to terminate targets… 9 minutes and 50 seconds."

Meanwhile, where Itachi and Mest had crash landed earlier. A lone figure sat squatting down before a gravestone. "Commander Linda Balor, X765 – X792…" The man read out the inscription on the gravestone. "I see…" The young man had silver spiky hair and silver eyes. He was dressed like an aristocrat wearing a long black coat.

"Commander Lugh Balor, sir. Lord Jacob requests us to rendezvous with him at the Fairy Tail guildhall. We have received the coordinates." An Imperial Knight came up behind the young man.

"Yes, in a moment. I need to finish mourning the loss of my younger sister." Commander Lugh, the second in command of Jacob's squad. The knight froze on the spot, worried that his rude inconsiderate behavior would get him killed on the spot. Lugh suddenly clapped his hands together, which startled the knight. Getting summoned out from the ground of Linda's grave were her broken blades. Lugh grabbed onto the broken blades, the sharp blades cutting into his skin drawing out blood. "Don't worry, we shall walk and fight together." The broken blades shined brightly, the intense glow modifying the broken blades and transforming them into a single long sword.

"Wh-What are you planning next, Commander Lugh?" The knight shakingly asked.

"What a foolish question. Once I join up with master Jacob, I shall have revenge. For my darling little sister Linda." Lugh declared as he sent the blade into a pocket dimension. Placing his bloodied palm on Linda's gravestone, leaving a bloodied handprint. "Now, onwards to Fairy Tail." Lugh's eyes were cold, one didn't need to be able to sense bloodlust to know the second in command of Jacob was out for blood.

On the raging seas, having been unaffected by Universe One, Neinhart's fleet remained on the same spot. The Spriggan Twelve member sat pondering his next move. "They might not be strong enough… But the sheer emotional damage they would give Itachi, is good enough for me." Neinhart chuckled as his eyes shined violet.

The scene changed to three reanimated warriors, Fugaku, Mikoto and Izumi Uchiha. All their eyes shined violet as they rushed through the forest, heading in the same direction Itachi and Mirajane fled to from August and Irene. Neinhart was cackling, that Mirajane woman was pregnant with Itachi's child. That would make for some fine leverage in his battle against the Seventh Fairy Tail guild master. The old family Itachi massacred himself, would come back with vengeance to take his new one. Yes, to Neinhart this seemed like the perfect poetic justice.

That's the end for now!

Okay, so before I say anything else, I got a PM message from one of you readers (you know who you are), who was concerned about something. He/She told me there was a YouTube channel posting audiobooks of this story. And that said YouTuber had reached the point where there weren't any chapters left, which would have been the previous chapter after this one. And thus, titled that this was the end of this story, even though it is not and is still a work in progress. Anyway, I contacted him and we cleared up this misunderstanding so people who were worried can relax, there is still at least maybe 14 chapters after this one before this story is completed.

Anyway, if you want to go and check his channel out his YouTube name is "Rai What IF?", he has my full approval of continuing to post videos of this story as he has.

The only two things I really want to mention about this chapter here, is the fight between Madara and Acnologia, and Itachi finding out about Mirajane being pregnant and taming the power of E.

Madara vs. Acnologia, I don't know how you lot thought the fight went. But for me, it went about as much as one could expect. Both combatants are rather powerful and destructive, but in the end, I believe Madara would come out on top. But I also believe that Acnologia wouldn't go down easy without a fight.

As for Itachi finally taming the power of E, if any of you can recall from a previous chapter where Itachi was training to master E's power after Tartaros, I mentioned that in order for Itachi to master E he needed to think positive thoughts, think of things that hold a great significance of love for him as he tries to tap into E's power to avoid losing emotions to the Demon, and to avoid fully losing control. And I thought, that the moment Itachi learns of his unborn child would fill him with such love and joy, that he could gather the inner strength to fully tame E.

Anyway, let me know in the reviews what you thought of this chapter.

-Later!

(Responds to reviews):

Shadow Joestar: Thanks! And now the two Titans have decided to team up.

Kelmoria: Well, Ur made Madara go a little soft yeah. So, him having a soft spot for his and Ur's child is a given. Madara would probably acknowledge that his child is his only weakness right about now. People could just try and use Ultear against him, see what happens XD

keybladelight: You are welcome! As you can see by the ending of this chapter, Itachi can expect a reunion with his old family in the next chapter.

masterxavithegamer: Well, Erza and Mirajane would be 3 years younger than Itachi, so at the start of the story Erza is around 10 years old. Gray and Natsu are about 2 years younger than Erza so they would be around 8 years old. And yes, Itachi has his Mangekyou Sharingan, even more than that by now, like way more.

altajir95: Thanks! I am glad you liked the Bloodman fight and Gajeel's new power up.

Stealth9604: Some valid predictions, some of which will actually happen but I will not confirm which of course.

Ether02: Oh yeah, Acnologia was in for quite the beating. But he still held his own for a bit there.

DarkReaderSeiin: Thanks! Sasori had earned a moment in the spotlight in my opinion, glad you liked his little battle against Madara. Sadly, Acnologia still has a role to play. And although Mavis and Zeref had a short reunion, more is to come later.

Mr. Haziq: I can understand why you would think that XD, but I swear they are not.

diamondteel4: Madara in that moment was like "Oh, shit. I need to save my baby!" XD

Son-Of-Scorn: I have been made aware before yes, and I have worked on it and changed it.

Godspeed2000: Praise the Sun!

Guest: You must have watched "Rai What IF?" And his videos, there is no need to worry. I have not dropped the story, I am still working on it, and I plan on finishing it.

Athallah: Ah, you must also have watched "Rai What IF?" And his videos. The story will continue, there will be 14 more chapters before it is finished, so don't worry it will continue.
