Fairy Tail Opening 3

Tower of Heaven Arc

Chapter 19: The Battle Amongst The Heavens


Tower of Valhalla... Final Floor... Throne Room... August 5th, X784... 25 minutes before midnight and until Etherion goes off..

Son Goku, the strongest mortal of Universe 7th was standing in the sidelines with his arms crossed as he was looking with his green emerald eyes at the stare down that was going on between Erza and the administrator of the Tower of Valhalla known as Jellal Fernandez, who looks almost similar to Siegrain and has a similar Ki signature but darker. However, that didn't mattered at the moment as the Saiyan raised on Earth noticed that the throne room was beginning to shake thanks to the Magic pressure both Erza and Jellal were releasing without moving a muscle..

Impressive to the standards of this world for sure but nothing compared to what Goku has witnessed before..

But there was one thing that kept Goku slightly concerned, Jellal Magic power is similar to Jose Porla's power which meant he's as strong as a Wizard Saint and although Erza is strong in her own right as a S-Class Mage she still would have massive difficulties in taking him down..

He would need to keep an eye open in case the fight goes south..

"You know Erza..." said Jellal in a sinister tone towards the Re-quip mage who kept looking at him with a serious face "You wouldn't be in this situation if you actually came by yourself without dragging your friends, you wouldn't be dealing with the heavy burden of leading them to an impending doom..!"

"Trust me I'm well aware of the consequences of dragging my friends to this place..!" responded Erza with a serious tone as she began to tighten her sword with conviction "However, I can't just sit and do nothing when my childhood friends live's are in danger from someone like you..! I will do whatever it takes to get everyone out of here and that's by taking you down along with this cursed tower..!"

"That conviction of yours still persist even in your darkest hour huh.." commented the blue-haired mage with a unhinged smile "Let's see if that 'conviction' of yours can defeat me before the timer runs out or else you can say goodbye to all of your precious friends..!"

"Is he talking about the time limit that he implemented when he made that announcement..?" thought the Saiyan God with a neutral expression "What could he be planning that it needs a timer.."

"I'll make sure to defeat you before that timer runs out..! Re-quip!" exclaimed the red-haired mage loudly as she was engulfed in a bright light for a few seconds until it died down and it revealed Erza in her Black Wing Armor as she points her black sword at Jellal "Enough talking Jellal! let's ends this once it for all..!"

"For once we agree on something my dear Erza..!" responded Jellal with a savage grin as he unleashes from his right hand multiple golden blasts of Magic energy towards Erza, who was slightly surprised by this as she began to dodge all of his blasts and rushes to his direction ready to cut him. The blue-haired mage smiled cockily at this as he disappears from Erza's sight at blinding speeds which shocked her and made Goku raised an eyebrow as he noticed Jellal re-appeared behind her and delivers a powerful kick to Erza's back that sends her crashing to the nearest wall..

"Did Jellal just kicked the floor ten time in a single second to achieve that kind of speed..? I wasn't aware that you can reach that momentum by doing that.." thought Goku with a serious expression as he stares at Erza coming out of the crater with scratches on her face as she wipes the blood that came from her mouth..

"What was that speed..!? He moved way faster than I expected it, not even in my Black Wing Armor I was able to follow his pattern.." said the S-Class Mage to herself as she glares at Jellal with intensity..

"Come on Erza is that all you got?! I was expecting more from the person who became 'The Strongest Women in the Kingdom of Fiore'!" exclaimed Jellal with a mocking expression towards his childhood friend who narrowed her eyes at hearing his comment.. "If you're not able to keep up with my speed then your chances to defeat me are slim to none!"

The Re-quip mage wanted to respond to that comment but decided to go against it as she change the topic to throw him off his game..

"It must have taken you years to built this Tower and now you don't care about the damage it takes from our fight? You are leaving me speechless with how broken you have become.." commented Erza with disappointment in her tone of voice towards Jellal who chuckles darkly at her comment..

"A wall or a pillar doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things! They are just mere decorations..!" responded back Jellal with a dark smile and with his eyes closed for a few seconds. When he opens it back he noticed that Erza was in front of him with a menacing expression ready to cut him down, the blue-haired mage couldn't help but to grin widely as he dodges Erza's slash with ease by quickly moving to the right.. "Oh? It seems that I've hit a never in you?"

"Simon, Sho and the others worked on those 'decorations' over the last eight years! Do you even have an ounce of empathy left in your body?!" exclaimed Erza angrily as she kept her assault on cutting Jellal but it was resulting difficult as he just dodges everything with ease, as if he wasn't trying at all..

He hasn't even used his Magic powers at all which was slightly worrying the Re-quip mage..

"I don't give a shit about those traitors and their feelings towards me..! What matters to me is that the R-System was built over the last eight years and thanks to their 'hard working' hands it was finally completed..! For that they have my eternal gratitude..!" responded the blue-haired mage fiercely as he pushes Erza back with a kick to the stomach. However, that didn't stop the S-Class Mage as she rushes back at super-sonic speeds to his direction meanwhile she began to concentrate a great amount of magic into her sword..

"Moon Flash!" shouted Erza as she was in front of Jellal ready to deliver a critical attack with her sword. Unfortunately for Erza, she wasn't expecting Jellal not even bothering to block the attack as he murmurs a word that would leave her confused and surprised at the same time..

"Tekkai.." said Jellal calmly as he hardened all his muscle to the point of being as strong as an Iron Shell, when Erza's sword made contact with Jellal's body it bounces off along with slightly breaking which stunned the S-Class Mage to the core as she didn't expect her sword to break from just making contact with his body..

"I-Impossible..! My Moon Flash should be able to least make some damage..! It's like his body suddenly hardened to the point of being as strong as an Iron Shell..!" thought Erza to herself as she jumps back so she could think for another plan to defeat him..

"In that single moment he hardened his muscle to the point that it broke Erza-chan's sword.. He must have trained his body to the point that he broke his human limits.." thought the Saiyan God as he could feel a surge of excitement building up within him after seeing Jellal's techniques so far "I wonder what other techniques he's hiding.."

"I'll have to admit, I wasn't expecting you to become this powerful despite not using an ounce of Magic.." stated the red-haired mage with a serious expression as she's enveloped in a bright light and Re-quips into her Heaven Wheel's Armor "However, don't think that I'm out of this one yet..!"

"Come on my dear Erza, do you really think that in the last eight years I've built this Tower I wasn't going to pick up any new abilities..?" exclaimed Jellal with a mocking expression as he got into a battle position "This just proves my words about how superior I've have become! But by all means you can keep trying to attack me, this will just prolong the inevitable.."

"Tch..! Now Dance My Swords!" exclaimed Erza with frustration as she summons multiple swords behind her back and directs them towards Jellal, who with a unhinged smirk began to dodge all of Erza's swords with finesse despite the red-haired mage controlling them with precision. In quick swift motion, Jellal grabs one of Erza's sword and rushes at super-sonic speeds to her direction ready to cut her, fortunately for Erza she had a sword floating close to her and quickly grabs it as she collides her weapon with Jellal's which caused a loud 'clang' sound in the room..

The two ex-childhood friends began to engage in a fast paced sword combat in which both Erza and Jellal weren't giving any openings to land a decisive blow. However, when Erza blocked one of Jellal's attack she quickly saw an opening in his stomach area and without wasting time she delivers a potent kick that pushes the blue-haired mage back along with making his grunt in slight pain. As Jellal looks up again to where Erza was his eyes slightly went wide as he noticed that the Re-quip mage was enveloped in a bright light once again and emerges from that light in a new armor..

Erza has just Re-quip into her Flame Empress Armor...

"Erza-chan's ability to Re-quip into different armors in almost a instant is impressive and could give her an edge in this battle.." thought Goku with a neutral expression as he then moves his gaze towards Jellal as he forms a serious expression "However, Jellal is definitely holding back a lot more power and that's not including his Magic abilities, let's see if her switching armors at this pace could give her the chance to land a decisive blow.."

With a warrior yell, Erza unleashes from her sword a giant wave of fire that was quickly approaching the blue-haired mage who had limited options to evade the attack. However, even with limited options Jellal couldn't help but form an unhinged smile as he lifts up his right leg..

"Rankyaku..!" exclaimed Jellal manically as he did a swift kick motion with such force that it unleashes an Air Blade that was heading to the wave of fire at blinding speeds, which surprised both Goku and Erza. When Jellal's air blade collided with Erza's wave of fire it split the attack in half thus making it go on different directions where it wouldn't crash with Jellal and causing small explosions behind him. This left Erza stunned as she saw the air blade kept going to her direction and jumps out of the way in time as she turns her gaze to see the air blade colliding into the nearest wall, which caused a powerful boom to be heard in the entire throne room along with picking up dust.

When the smoke began to died down, Goku and Erza were slightly stunned at seeing that the air blade went all the way through that all of them could see the night sky outside the Tower of Valhalla..

"Just how strong has Jellal become that his raw strength is enough to match my abilities..!?" thought the 'Queen of the Fairies' with a frustrated expression as she could feel sweat coming down on her forehead.. "If he starts to use his Magic abilities that he's hiding I could be in serious trouble..!"

"Don't tell me this is the limit of what the 'Strongest Female in the Kingdom' can do?" asked Jellal with a mocking tone of voice as he got the attention of Erza "Even if you go through all of your armors, the results will end up being the same..!"

"As much as I hate to admit it Jellal is right, even if I use Adamantine, Purgatory or even Armadura Fairy throughout this battle the result will be the same thanks to him being superior in strength and speed..!" said Erza to herself within her mind as she tried to come up with a decent plan that would at least give her a chance to land a definitive attack on him..

However, her train of thoughts were interrupted when Goku spoke out-loud..

"Don't give up Erza-chan!" shouted the Saiyan God with encouragement as he got the attention of the Re-quip mage "Just because he's stronger than you that doesn't mean that he's unbeatable! Besides, I can tell you're hiding something up your sleeve and now it's the best time to use whatever ability that you have..!"

"Goku-kun.." murmured the Re-quip mage with a surprised expression since she didn't expect Goku to know that she was 'holding back' as well.. "How did Goku-kun know that I was holding back as well? Did he somewhat found out about the weakness of my armors..?"

"Oh? So you were also holding back as well my dear Erza?" asked Jellal with a smirk on his face as he stares at the red-haired girl "I have to admit, I'm hurt that you even decided to hold back against me while knowing that you have been on the back foot this entire fight..! You really have become cocky.."

Erza didn't said anything as she puts her Flame Empress sword back into her sheath which caught Goku and Jellal's attention, she was debating whenever to use that armor not because she didn't want to hold back, but because it meant to take off the 'walls' that protect her heart from any evil that harms her.. However, she has people that she needed to save from her past sins and if she needed to take off those 'walls' to save them then so be it..!

She will tear down these 'walls' and confront her fears head on..!

"Re-quip!" shouted Erza as she was enveloped once again in a blinding light for a couple of seconds, when it began to died down Goku and Jellal noticed that Erza new 'armor' consists of a white sarashi round the upper chest and a red hakama with a gold flame-like pattern at the bottom with black highlights. They also noticed that her hair was now tied up in a ponytail along with two katanas attached into her hips..

But one thing that both Goku and Jellal couldn't deny is the sudden increase of Magic energy that Erza was emitting currently..

"So this is Erza-chan's true power..! By not having her Magic energy being sapped by her armors it allows her to fully maximize her movements and strength..!" thought Goku with a smile on his face as he stares at the determine Re-quip mage proudly "This should give her the edge to catch Jellal off-guard and defeat him..!"

"Oh? So it seems that not wearing an armor actually makes you stronger from what I can sense..." responded Jellal with fake curiosity as he forms an unhinged smile "I still remember you telling me how wearing some kind of protection or armor would protect you from the evils of this world, and now your tearing down your 'walls' that protected you all this time just to have higher chance to defeat me..?! How laughable.."

"Indeed.." stated Erza with a serious expression as she pulls out one of her Katanas and began to channel some of her Magic energy which made the katana light up in a reddish hue "Don't get it twisted Jellal, it pains me that overcoming this flaw of mines requires to get rid of you along with this dammed Tower. However, my childhood friends and my guild members lives are in danger which means I can't let the shackles of the past to intervene my path! I don't care what the consequences are! I'll make sure to take you and this Tower down for good..!"

"We'll see about that my dear Erza..! My conviction to change this world is far greater than your determination to save those rats..!" shouted the blue-haired mage with a maniac expression as he and Erza rushes at each other at blinding speeds as they collided their respective sword/katana in the middle of the room. The collision created a powerful shockwave that shook the entire throne room along with making the walls crack from the pressure. Both Erza and Jellal looked at each other for a moment and suddenly disappeared from everyone's view that a normal person would think they vanish..

However, Goku is not a normal person as he's able to keep up with the fight easily. The Saiyan God could see both Erza and Jellal still engaging in their 'sword fight' at blinding speeds all over the throne room, each collision creating a loud 'clank' and 'boom' that left small craters below their feet. Although Goku didn't move from his spot at all, he notice that Erza reappeared in front of him blocking an sword attack from Jellal with her Katana as she gritted her teeth..

"What the hell are you trying to do?! Goku-kun has nothing to do with this battle so leave him out of it!" shouted Erza angrily as she began to forcefully push Jellal back with her Katana, despite only moving him for a couple of centimeters..

"It's his fault for trying to save you from your destiny! Now he's paying the price for such idiotic actions!" exclaimed Jellal back with a unhinged expression as he looks at Goku's serious expression for a moment. However, that moment for Erza was enough to deliver a powerful kick to Jellal's stomach which made him grunt in pain as he gets pushed back a couple of meters away from them. Nonetheless, Erza didn't stop her assault as she rushes towards Jellal at super-sonic speeds ready to cut him with her Katana that was amplified by her Magic..

"Tekkai!" exclaimed Jellal loudly as he blocks Erza's Katana with his right arm thanks to his muscle becoming as strong as a Iron Shell. This gave the blue-haired mage an opportunity to counter-attack as he hardens his left arm as he readies himself "Tekkai Kempo!"

Jellal delivers a devastating punch that Erza barely manage to block by forming an 'X' with her arms. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough as the force of Jellal's punch pushes her back at blinding speeds that she violently crashes into the nearest wall. As the Re-quip mage began to recover from that previous attack, her eyes went slightly wide as she saw Jellal appearing in front of her with a dark smile on his face ready to follow up with his attack..

"Shigan!" shouted the blue-haired mage as he tried to attack her with his index finger, but Erza instinctively knew that finger was dangerous so she quickly sidesteps out of the way. However, Jellal didn't stop there as kept attacking with his finger towards the Re-quip mage at blinding speeds, in which Erza kept dodging each time but it was resulting more difficult as time goes on..

"At this rate I'll be the one tiring out and Jellal will end up stabbing me..!" thought the Queen of the Fairies with a frustrated expression as she dodges another attack from Jellal meanwhile sweating from her forehead "I need an attack that can stunt him for a moment so I can land a powerful attack on him..! Wait? I got it! Maybe that technique could work but I need to do it at the right moment..!"

"Come on my dear Erza..! You can't be on the defense all the time! You haven't even gotten a solid attack against me..!" exclaimed Jellal with a unhinged expression as kept attacking without stopping. However, what Jellal didn't expect was Erza using her left hand palm ton deviate his Shigan to a different direction which took him by surprised.. "What the..?!"

"Moon Light Sword Style #1: Palm Strike!" shouted Erza with determination as she collided her right hand palm towards Jellal's stomach and releases a powerful concentrated shock-wave that went through Jellal's body, thus making him spit saliva and blood as a side effect along with being pushed back a couple of meters..

"What the hell was that?! Was that a Magic-based attack?! No it was something completely different..!" thought Jellal with a pained expression as he uses his feet to stop himself from crashing to the nearest wall. As he comes to a complete stop he realized to late that Erza was now in front of him with a enraged expression ready to deliver her most powerful attack by concentrating all of her Magic into her single Katana, which caused red lightning sparks to appear around it thus stunning Jellal "Impossible! She can manipulate Magic to this level that she has been blessed by the black sparks?!"

"IT'S OVER JELLAL! Demon Blade: Benizakura!" roared Erza with resolve as she slashes across Jellal's upper body in a horizontal way that it cuts through his coat and skin, thus making him bleed from his cut along with spitting blood from the mouth. However, the attack effect wasn't done there as red-black lightning that was made out Ethernano came off from Erza's sword as it went around the throne room without any direction..

"Amazing..! At that moment that she delivered her attack, Erza-chan surpassed her current limits to deliver a decisive blow against Jellal! And she did that by applying all her Magic power into her sword in 0.000001 seconds!" thought Goku with a smile on his face as he saw Erza standing above Jellal who was laying down on the floor breathing heavily as he tried to control the blood loss from his cut. Not wanting to take any chances, the Re-quip mage knees down on top of Jellal and points her other Katana on his throat in case he does something "Erza-chan is really amazing..! If she trains under me she could become a formidable opponent for me to spar with..!

"H-Heh..! I-I didn't know you were also blessed by the black sparks my dear Erza..! That really took me by surprise..!" commented Jellal with a pained expression but also keeping his unhinged smile, which made Erza get more annoyed as she moves her Katana closer to his neck..

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about but it's over Jellal.." replied Erza with a monotone expression but a same time a tired one "Before I take you down for good I need to know something, this R-System isn't completed right? You need something to activate this Tower completely.."

"H-Hehehe...! Come on Erza stop acting like a fool, you know the answer..!" commented the blue-haired mage with a dark grin on his face "It's either your sacrifice or Son Goku's!"

"Our sacrifices are just a way to achieve your goals, what you truly need from us is our energies to activate something as big as the R-System! You need enough energy that can wipe out entire countries in a single blow to activate the Tower's capabilities and you know damn well that me and Goku-kun don't have those energy reserves! So what is it that you're truly planning by using us..?!" exclaimed the Re-quip mage loudly as she tried to get an answer from Jellal, unfortunately for Erza he wasn't responding to any of his question as he just chuckle darkly at her..

"H-Heh..! It wouldn't matter if I told you now.. The end is drawing near and there's nothing you can do to stop it.." stated Jellal with a weak dark smile as he slightly flinched from the pain he was feeling from the attack he got from Erza recently..

"Jellal is stalling.. He's trying to drag the conversation with Erza-chan until his timer is up.." thought Goku with a serious expression as he expanded his sensing abilities around the Tower to see if he was hiding something, besides the Dark energy that was surrounding the place he didn't find anything out of the ordinary "What could he be hiding..?"

"Fine! If you don't want to tell us that's okay. Either way it's all over now Jellal.." commented Erza still keeping a serious expression as she didn't move her Katana from Jellal at all "You're dreams have been dead the moment you allowed yourself to become a slave of the Black Wizard! All of this will just lead to your death and you would have achieved nothing after we destroyed this place for good..!"

"You really think I care about dying and what happens to this place..!?" responded Jellal fiercely towards the Re-quip mage who was surprised by the way he responded "I don't care about dying, my body and my soul only serve the Black Wizard's orders! I have no will of my own and if he wants me to die along with this Tower then so be it!"

"His mind and soul was taken over by the Black Wizard for years huh..? No wonder his Ki felt corrupted, It reminds me of Babidi's magic when he took over Vegeta all those years ago.." said the Saiyan God to himself as he kept staring at both Erza and Jellal..

"The Jellal you used to know couldn't save himself from the Black Wizard's influence and now he can't even achieve true Paradise and Freedom..! What a failure of a vessel he is..!" commented the blue-haired man with a unhinged smile toward's Erza, who couldn't help but to feel angry at the way he was speaking about his past self like he was some nuisance..

The Jellal she used to know was a boy that she admired for his leadership, determination and hope he would give to his peers..! And she wasn't going to stand here and let this bastardize version of Jellal keep slandering the one from the past..

Meanwhile that was going on, Goku's sensing abilities went off as he could feel a surge of Magic energy beginning to built up above in the skies. It was strong enough that it was bypassing the Dark energy that the Tower of Valhalla was emitting which is impressive enough..

If that thing ended up shooting at their direction it could destroy the entire island with ease along with the people here..

He needed to stop it before something bad can happen..!

"I'll be back Erza-chan..! Something important came up that needs my attention..!" commented Goku with urgency in his tone of voice as he uses Instant Transmission to teleport to the place that he needed to be, thus leaving Erza with a confused and worried expression..

"Goku-kun wait..!" shouted the Re-quip mage but it was too late she saw Goku disappearing from where he was thus leaving her and Jellal by themselves. However, her attention went back to Jellal as he began to laugh darkly at what was going on "What's the meaning of this Jellal!?"

"T-The timer is almost up my dear Erza, soon judgement will fall upon all of us.." responded Jellal still keeping his dark smile on his face "You see, the Magic Council has been keeping tabs at this place for a while and they decided that the best course of action to prevent the revival of the Black Wizard is to destroy the Tower of Valhalla in it's entirety along with the island..! They are planning to use the Etherion Cannon and reduce us to Magic dust..!"

"W-What..?" murmured Erza with a stunned expression as she couldn't believe what Jellal just said, but seeing Goku teleporting with a urgent expression really solidified his statement.. "H-How long do we have before the Etherion is fire off..?!"

"Less than three minutes.." commented the blue-haired mage with a calm expression as he once again forms a dark smile "Even if Son Goku uses that ability that he used against Jose Porla or Jura Neekis to increase his powers it will be useless against the power of the Etherion that is capable to eradicate entire countries! There's nothing we can do to stop this so by all means my dear Erza, you won this battle.. You can kill me right now or just wait until the blast consume all of us.."

Erza couldn't help but to began to shake slightly that she dropped the Katana that she was holding, followed by staring to breath heavily as all the stress and fears inside her were coming into fruition. And the worst part about it is that she got all her current friends involved in a situation where they would die thanks to her sins of the past..

Erza Scarlet failed to save her current and childhood friends from an impending doom that could have been prevented..

"What's wrong my dear Erza? You lost the will to kill me with your own hands..?" asked Jellal with a monotone expression as he didn't bother to move from the spot where Erza has him pinned down..

"What's the point of using my Katana to kill you when Etherion is going to kill us all..." responded Erza with a defeated tone of voice as she began to smile with a saddened expression "I even hate to admit that Goku-kun is not going to be able to save us from this one, he's going to perish along with us.."

"I can see that you like Son Goku a lot, do you perhaps have been harboring feelings for him..?" asked the blue-haired mage with a neutral tone towards the Re-quip mage, who still kept her saddened smile as she responded back to Jellal..

"Indeed, just like how I used to have feelings for you all those years ago.. He somewhat reminds what you used to represent, determination, justice, hope and a drive to never give up despite the odds..." commented Erza as she gave a defeated sigh as she looks at Jellal "If the afterlife truly exist then I hope I can least tell him how I feel.."

"Hmm, so you used to have feelings for the old Jellal of the past?" asked Jellal with curiosity towards the Queen of the Fairies who nodded at his question..

"I did, which leads me to wonder something. If you claim to be essence of the Black Wizard who corrupted Jellal then you must have his memories of the past.." stated the red-haired girl neutrally "Tell me, what lead to Jellal being corrupted..?"

Jellal didn't respond at first for a couple seconds since he didn't find any reason to explain what happened to him. However, he decided to entertain Erza's request before she dies..

"Jellal back then was striving for the freedom and dreams of every slave of the Tower that he was willing to do everything to make that happen. He paid that price by becoming the vessel of the Black Wizard which gave him a clear idea of what he needed to do.." responded Jellal with a neutral expression towards the Re-quip mage who nodded at his explanation "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to achieve the orders of the Black Wizard which makes this body and soul useless.."

"I don't think that he was useless at all. Jellal back then was a leader that would bring inspiration to everyone around them, giving them the hope that they will see a tomorrow where they won't be subjected as slave. I always wondered how he would have turned out without the influence of the Black Wizard.. A leader in the Magic Council or perhaps a Guild Master at a popular guild.." said Erza with a solemn smile as she began to wonder how would Jellal turned out if he had not succumbed to the Black Wizard's influence and instead came with her and the others..

"What's the point of thinking what ifs when death is knocking at our doors..?" asked the blue-haired mage to Erza who shook her head after hearing his question

"You're right, there's no point of thinking of what ifs when I couldn't even save my closest childhood friend from darkness.." responded the red-haired girl with a saddened expression towards her former childhood friend, who didn't respond to her comment but instead he responded by sitting up a little and suddenly hugs her which stunned Erza.. "Jellal...?"

"That's where you're wrong Erza.. You did saved me at the end.." responded Jellal 'softly' as he kept hugging the Re-quip mage who returned the hug back. However, she failed to noticed the way that Jellal was grinning like a maniac "Soon my goals will come into fruition..!"

Scene Change... Outside at the Top of the Tower of Valhalla... Two minutes before Etherion shoots off..

At the highest point of the Tower of Valhalla, we could see Goku suddenly appearing via Instant Transmission as he looks up at the night sky where he could sense a giant amount of Magic energy being built up. Although the Saiyan God couldn't see what it was since it was located at the atmosphere, all he needed to know was that it was currently above the Tower of Valhalla and it was ready to release all that energy that has built it..

"That amount of energy is enough to wipe out entire countries off the map..! Nobody in this island has the strength to stop it so it's up to me to stop it completely..!" said Goku to himself with his arms crossed as he kept looking up at the dark sky with a serious expression "I have to get in contact with Gray and the others so they can escape the Tower with Nimbus! I have a feeling that things will get ugly from here on..!"

The Saiyan God closes his eyes for a moment so he could concentrate on sensing Gray's energy and the others as well so he can form a telepathic link with them. After a few seconds of concentration, Goku was able to sense their Ki and began to form a telepathic link where he can talk to them from long distance, a technique that he picked up from King Kai back then when he was dead for a year..

"Gray, Lucy-chan?! Can anyone hear me..!?" said Goku within his mind with urgency as he tries to contact one of his students or the others..

Scene Change... Sixth Floor of the Tower of Valhalla... One hundred seconds before Etherion goes off..

"Damn it! There's no signs of Natsu or Happy on this floor so far..!" stated Gray out-loud with a frustrated expression as he and Simon were running around the hallways looking for the Dragon Slayer and Exceed. Unfortunately for Gray and Simon, there was no signs of Natsu or Happy being on this floor so far which means they have to go more up..

"That means his heading to where Jellal, Erza and Son Goku are located currently, which is the throne room..!" added Simon to the conversation with a serious expression as he looks at Gray "We need to hurry up if we want to help them..!"

"Right..!" said the Ice-maker with determination as he ignores the pain he was feeling on the right waist side, which was now wrapped up by bandages that they found in a safe room. Even if Gray wasn't at 100% currently he will not run away from the battlefield when his friends are in danger..

Before Gray and Simon could speed up even more they suddenly heard a familiar voice that came from behind them..

"Gray-sama..!" shouted a familiar tone of voice that send chill down Gray's spine since he knew who it was. As he stops running and turns around to see who truly called him, he was suddenly tackled into a tight hug by a certain Water Mage who was smiling ear to ear after reuniting with one of her beloveds "Juvia is so glad to finally reunited with you again Gray-sama! Juvia was worried sick about you!"

"J-Juvia..! C-Can you let go of me..?!" responded Gray with a comical pained expression as he tried to separated himself from the Water Mage "I-I'm injured from my previous battle..! A-And what's with your clothes?!"

"Oh! Juvia is sorry darling..!" stated Juvia with a concerned expression as she lets go of the Ice-mage as he silently grunts from the pain in his waist side, he couldn't imagine how unbearable the pain would be if he didn't activate the Pain Killer technique..

"Sorry about that Gray..!" exclaimed another voice that was coming from the same direction that Juvia came from, the three mages turn their gazes to where that voice was coming from and it was none other than Lucy "I tried to stop Juvia from tackling you like that, but it seems that this girl can't be reasoned with when it comes to you or Goku-kun.. And as to why she's dressed like that, let's just say that our battle was unique in some ways.."

"I see, well I'm glad that we have you guys. With the four of us we should be able to find flame brains and Happy faster and then head to where Goku and Erza went to help them..!" responded the Ice-maker mage with determined expression towards the Celestial Mage and Water Mage who nodded at his words..

"Right..! Let's get going then..!" replied Lucy with a serious expression as she, Gray, Juvia and Simon were ready to continue their search. However, they all suddenly stopped when a certain voice spoke up within their minds..

"Gray, Lucy-chan?! Can anyone hear me..?!" shouted a familiar voice within their mind which left everyone stunned since they didn't expect a voice invading their minds..

"I-I know I might sound crazy for what I'm about to say, but do you guys hear that..?!" asked the Celestial Mage with a slightly scared expression as she looks at the others who were bewildered by the voice they heard "It sounded awfully like.."

"Like Goku, that voice sounded just like him..!" stated Gray with realization dawning on his face after figuring out who it was.. However, he wouldn't be able to continue his train of thoughts thanks to Goku's voice speaking up again in their mind..

"Perfect! It seems that I was able to establish a link with everyone..!" said the voice of Son Goku with relief towards everyone who were startled by his voice their thoughts once again..

"G-Goku-kun is that you?!" exclaimed Lucy loudly as she looks around frantically in case he wasn't hiding close to them. After looking around for a couple seconds Lucy spoke up once again "How are you able to communicate with us inside our minds?! As far as I know you're at the top of the Tower with Erza fighting the administrator..!"

"Maybe Goku-sama has an advance Telepathy Magic that allows him to communicate with multiple people.." said Juvia out loud to everyone in a thinking position, although she was startled from hearing her 'guardian angel' speaking in her mind, she has encountered people that posses the magic ability to communicate within their minds so she wasn't that shocked that someone like Goku was able to pick up such ability..

As expected from her guardian angel that saved her life..

"Goku-san, I assume that you didn't contact us just for nothing did something happen at the throne room with Jellal..?" asked Simon with a serious expression as he and the others waited for Goku to answer his question. However, what they were about to hear wasn't going to be beneficial..

"Erza was able to defeat Jellal and got him under control for the moment. Unfortunately that's the least of my concerns.." stated Goku with a serious tone towards the group as they were confused in what the Saiyan God just said so they let him finish what he needed to say.. "Above us in the sky, a huge amount of Magic energy is being built up that if it were release on us then it will destroy the Tower of Valhalla along with this entire island. I don't know how long we have until that energy is released but you all need to get out of here now..! I'll get Nimbus to pick you all up so you guys can escape safely..!"

Goku's words of urgency left everyone stunned since they didn't expect such turn of events to ever happen, a sudden surge of Magic energy being build up in the sky and ready to release it on them sounded insane to them. But if Goku was saying all of this with urgency, then there must be some truth in it..

The first one to speak up was Simon, who's face expression morphed into a horrified realization after figuring out what could be causing such amount of energy being built up..

"The Etherion Cannon.." said Simon to everyone as they all turned their gaze to him "What Goku-san is sensing is the Etherion Cannon, a weapon of mass destruction that belongs to the Magic Council..! That thing is capable of destroying multiple countries in a instant without leaving a trace..! So that's why Jellal put a time limit to defeat him, he was stalling so Etherion can charge enough energy to destroy us..!"

"Shit..! So you're telling me that Jellal had connections with the Magic Council that he was able to sway one of them to activate Etherion..?!" exclaimed Gray in a frustrated tone as he clenches his teeth in anger. All this time the administrator of the Tower was one step ahead of them, even if he was defeated by Erza or Goku he would always have Etherion as an alternative to destroy all of them..

He basically 'won' despite not being able to achieve his dream..

"That doesn't matter right now..! Gray, I need you to use you're strength to destroy the walls of the Tower so you guys can call Nimbus! He'll listen to your voice so just call for it's name! After that command Nimbus to lead you guys back to the Resort which is far enough that it won't be affected by the explosion..!" exclaimed the Saiyan God within their minds in a urgent tone of voice, this got most of them out of their trance as they nodded to Goku's command. However, some decided to respond back in concern..

"Goku-kun wait! What about Natsu and Happy?! We haven't even found them and they could be on the way to the throne room where you guys are..!" exclaimed the Celestial Mage in concern about her friends, not wanting to leave them behind in this impending doom. Before the black-haired Saiyan could respond it was Simon that spoke up..

"I'll look for Salamander..!" exclaimed Simon with a determine expression towards Lucy and the others "I've been working on this cursed Tower for years so I'm the most capable one to look for him quickly before Etherion goes off, I promise I'll bring him back to your group safe and sound..!"

"I guess that covers that..!" said Gray with a serious expression as he gets into his Full Contact Karate fighting position and faces the nearest wall to him, followed by beginning to concentrate all his Ki into his right fist "Just give me a few seconds of concentration so I can destroy the walls of this Tower..!"

"Wait..!" exclaimed the Water mage out-loud as she got the attention of everyone "What about you Goku-sama? Juvia is wondering if you're coming with us as well since we don't have enough time..! And that's not even including Titania who's with you..!"

"Don't worry about me Juvia! I'll stay here to stall the attack so everyone can escape safely..!" responded Goku with a confident tone of voice, not sounding concerned that he could die from a blast of such magnitude. This of course left everyone shocked since they didn't expect for the Saiyan God to sound so confident to stop a weapon of mass destruction..

"This is not the time to be acting like a hero Goku-kun..!" responded Lucy with a serious expression on her face, not happy to hear what her beloved just said to them "You promised me that you would comeback us safe and sound..! What you just said just sounds like you're willing to throw your life away to save us time to escape! Have you thought about how I would feel if you something stupid like that!?"

"Heartfilia is right Goku-sama..! Juvia also doesn't want you to sacrifice your life to stop an inevitable attack so all of us can escape! It wouldn't be fair for you..!" added Juvia to the conversation with a concerned expression as she also didn't want Goku to sacrifice his life for them..

"Girls I'll be fine..! I promise I won't die from this attack, besides if things truly turn to the worst then I'll just use my Instant Transmission to escape along with Erza-chan and the others..! So please have some faith on me.." responded Goku's voice softly but with confidence at the same time as he tries to reassure to the Celestial Mage and Water Mage that he will be okay. Before Lucy or Juvia could even respond back to the Saiyan God, both of them heard a shout from Gray as he unleashes a devastating punch that easily destroys the wall that was in-front of him, thus picking up a massive cloud of dust..

As the smoke began to died down it reveals a massive hole on the wall that reaches to the outside of the Tower, where all of them could see the night sky and the endless dark ocean..

"Alright it's done Goku..!" responded Gray with a serious expression as he looks at the hole he made with his raw strength despite being low on energy..

"Great! Nimbus should be coming at any second to pick you guys up! He'll listen to any of your commands and if you need more space just tell it to expand..!" commented the black-haired Saiyan within their minds, as all of the sudden the group began to hear a familiar sound as they turned their gazes to the hole on the wall to see a certain golden cloud approaching them at hyper-sonic speeds and quickly stops in front of them so they can get on it..

"Hope in guys we don't have enough time to waste..!" exclaimed the Ice-maker mage to the group as he hops into the golden cloud, followed by Juvia and a hesitating Lucy who still wasn't convinced by Goku words and instead wanted to stay behind. But nonetheless she jumps into Nimbus, Gray then moves his gaze to Simon who still hasn't moved from his spot and speaks up to him "Hey, I was wondering if you're friend Sho and the others are still in the Tower so we can pick them up with Nimbus.."

"Thank you but don't bother thinking about it. I already told Sho to drag Millianna and Wally to one of our ships in the lower floors so they can leave the place, so they should be safe and far away from here.." responded Simon neutrally as he turns around to where the stairs lead to the next floor "I'll promise to bring back Salamander safe before the blast can destroy us.."

"Let's hope you can keep that promise.." responded Gray with a serious expression towards the eye-patch mage who didn't said nothing at his comment and without wasting time he runs towards the stairs that lead to the next floor. His goal being to look for Natsu as soon as possible, thus leaving the two Fairy Tail mages and ex-Phantom Lord mage by themselves..

"Speaking of promises.." said Lucy to herself as she closes her eyes and begins to form her current thoughts in hope that he beloved is able to hear her message "You better not break our promise Goku-kun..! I wouldn't know what to do if I find out that my beloved is not in this world anymore just because he wanted to play as the sacrificial hero.."

Fortunately for the Celestial Mage, her thoughts were heard loud and clear for the Saiyan God who spoke up just to her..

"Lucy-chan, I promise I'll make it back alive along with Erza-chan and the others with me. You've seen it multiple times how I always surpassed everyone's expectations and I've never break a promise I made to you and this one won't be the exception.." responded softly the Saiyan God to just the blonde-haired girl, who couldn't help but to slightly blush at the soft but confident words of her beloved..

However, her train of thoughts was interrupted by Gray who spoke up to everyone..

"We should get going with the time we have left.." stated the Ice-maker mage with a serious expression towards both Juvia and Lucy, who nodded in affirmation at his words thus giving him the go to command Nimbus.. "Alright, Nimbus let's get out of here..!"

Without wasting time, the golden cloud that was carrying Gray, Lucy and Juvia began to move away from the Tower of Valhalla at super-sonic speeds. As they get further away from the Tower, the Ice-maker noticed that someone was standing at the top of the structure and narrows his eyes to focus on who it was. To his surprise it was his friend/master who looked completely calm at the situation he's about to get into..

"Nimbus stop for a moment..!" commanded Gray towards the golden cloud as it stops moving which got both Lucy and Juvia confused..

"What's wrong Gray? why did you stop Nimbus from moving all of the sudden..?" asked the Celestial Mage with a confused expression towards the Ice-maker mage, who didn't move his gaze from where he's looking at..

"I think you might want to see this Lucy.." responded Gray with a serious tone as he pointed to where Goku was standing at, the blonde-haired girl along with the ex-Phantom Lord mage looked at where Gray was pointing at and their expressions turned into a shocked one from seeing the Saiyan God standing at the top of Tower of Valhalla..

"So Goku-kun is actually doing it, he's planning to stop the Etherion Cannon all by himself..!" exclaimed Lucy with a worried expression as she didn't move her gaze away from where the Saiyan God was standing at "He knows that a blast from Etherion can wipe out entire countries off the map..! Why is he putting himself in so much danger?!"

"It's because Goku-sama is confident in his abilities.." said Juvia who also had a concerned expression and was looking at where Gray pointed at "Although Juvia still thinks that no Wizard Saint is capable of stopping a weapon of mass destruction like Etherion, Juvia believes that Goku-sama could be the only one that can stop it despite the odds being against him.."

"Then let's hope that Goku is able to overcome such odds like he has done before.." commented Gray with a serious and frustrated expression as he clenches his fist tightly "Don't you dare to die on me Goku..! I don't think I can handle another situation in where my master sacrifices themselves for me to survive.."

Meanwhile back on the top of the Tower of Valhalla, Goku took a deep breath as he soaked the winds around him with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, the Saiyan God began to unleash his white Ki aura which shoot off into the sky which caused the clouds to dissipate, thus revealing the clear night sky and giving him a better view of where the Etherion Cannon was located..

"So that's the Etherion Cannon that Simon was talking it about, I'll admit it's building up a lot of raw Magic energy that it could wipe out multiple countries in a instant.." commented the Saiyan God with a small confident smile as he extended his arms up ready to block it.. "Using all 10% of my Base Form power should be enough to block off the attack, the only thing I'm worried about is where to send all that energy without destroying a landmass by accident.."

The Saiyan God opted to think about that for later, as he notice that the Etherion Cannon was getting brighter than ever each second and then suddenly a loud booming sound was heard everywhere as a massive beam of raw Magic energy began to descend to the Tower of Valhalla at blinding speeds. When Goku catches the massive blast with his hands it caused a continental-sized shockwave that made everything in it's surroundings tremble, made every cloud in a six hundred kilometers radius disappear, along by with massive wind gusts that pushed Nimbus back despite being kilometers away from the Tower..

Gray, Lucy and Juvia couldn't believe what they were seeing, a single person was pushing black a blast of energy that can destroy multiple Kingdoms..

"This is insane.." commented Lucy with a stunned expression as she uses one of her arms to cover herself from the powerful wind gusts "What kind of training did my Goku-kun went through to become this powerful..?"

"It's like Goku-sama has the strength of a God.." added Juvia to the conversation as she also has a stunned expression from what she was witnessing..

"Goku.." thought Gray with concern as he kept his gaze locked in to where Goku was stopping the blast head on..

The black-haired Saiyan despite not having a lot of difficulties stopping the blast from the Etherion Cannon, he was debating what to do with this much amount of raw energy that is not being controlled..

"I can't send the energy back to the Etherion Cannon because it will destroy the weapon completely, I really don't want the Magic Council to be on my tail for destroying their weapon. And I can't send it anywhere else because it could land in Fiore or another Kingdom which will cause destruction everywhere.." thought the Saiyan God as he was thinking about the options that he had available currently meanwhile he holds off the massive blast "My only safe options are either use the Hakai or use a small part of my Godly Ki to absorb it.."

However, before Goku could go on with his plan of getting rid of the blast he began to sense that the Tower of Valhalla was reacting differently than usual. It was as if the Tower was begging to absorb the blast from the Etherion Cannon..

That's where the Saiyan God gained an idea where he doesn't have to worry about destroying Kingdoms by accident..

"It might be a gamble but the best option could be letting the Tower absorb the blast of the Etherion Cannon.. I'll use my body to transfer all the raw energy into the Tower instead so the blast itself doesn't destroy the island by accident.." thought Goku with a serious expression as he removes his left hand from the blast and puts it on the nearest pillar that connects to the Tower, meanwhile keeping the massive blast at bay with his right hand. Then the Saiyan raised on Earth began to use a tiny amount of his Godly energy to absorb the blast and channel it to the Tower, which caused his eyes to flash to a red scarlet for a moment..

As he begins to channel the energy blast from Etherion into the Tower of Valhalla, Goku began to feel and understand the true essence of Ethernano as it goes through his body. It was like bathing into a whole new realm of energy that never was attainable through normal means, it reminded him of how Godly Ki couldn't be attainable through normal training and instead he needed to do a ritual to become a 'God'..

However, before Goku could continue his train of thoughts he was interrupted by the Tower becoming brighter each second which meant that it was absorbing the blast like it was nothing. It made the Saiyan God think that this Tower could have been built for something else and not for what Jellal was talking about..

After a couple of seconds of transferring the energy of the Etherion Cannon into the Tower, the Saiyan God was consumed by the bright light that the Tower was emitting that it evolved into a powerful light pillar that shoots off into the sky, which caused another powerful wind gusts that could be felt hundreds of kilometers away along with tsunamis that will definitely crashed into the nearest shoreline. The pillar of light was big enough that it could have been seen from the horizon of the stratosphere of Earthland..

It could have been a spectacle to see but unfortunately that didn't mattered for the three mages that were riding Nimbus since they were more concerned about what happened to Goku and the others..

"GOKU-KUN!" shouted Lucy with a worried expression as she began to think about the worst case scenario, which made her began to tear up as she covers her mouth with her hands "N-No no no..! Please don't tell me this is happening..!"

"Goku-sama... No..." said Juvia with a cathartic expression as she couldn't believe what just happened in front of her eyes, it felt like a part of her was beginning to die as current situation she was witnessing began to settle..

"No..! I refuse to believe that Goku and the others just died like it was nothing..!" thought Gray in denial as he clenches his teeth and his fist tightly that he was beginning to draw blood in it. The Ice-maker mage refused to believe that the Saiyan God would succumbed like that when earlier he was stopping the blast from the Etherion Cannon with no issues..

He will be in denial until he sees clear evidence that the Tower truly disappeared along with the others..

Nevertheless, what Gray and the others were about to see not only will shock them to the core but also will lead to a chain of events in where their concept of power will be changed forever..

Scene Change... Magic Council Control Room... Town of Era.. Two minutes before Goku was consumed by the bright light..

In one of the many rooms that the Magic Council of the Ishgar branch owns, there was one room in specific in which where a weapon of mass destruction like Etherion can be controlled despite being thousands of kilometers away from them, it's known as the Control Room. Built many years ago with the purpose of controlling the Etherion Cannon from long distances without needing mages to activate it at close distance..

Currently in the Control Room, we could see Siegrain in front of multiple Lacrima screens and Magic circles the allow him to control the weapon of mass destruction. Behind him were Ultear, the Chairman and the rest of the Magic Council members were waiting for Siegrain to do the honors to activate Etherion, who thanks to him convinced most of them that activating the weapon that was needed to destroy the R-System for good and prevent the revival of Zeref for good.

However, what the majority of Council members didn't know that this could lead to the downfall of the Magic World as they know it..

"Alright, Councilman Siegrain care to do the honors to activate the Etherion Cannon..?" asked the Chairman of the Magic Council with a neutral expression as he was standing next to the blue-haired councilmen "Above all, it was you who rallied all of us to use the Etherion after such a long time of being unused. It wouldn't be fair if another Councilmen activates it.."

"Understood.." responded Siegrain calmly as he extended his right hand into one of the Magic Circles and began to pour some of his Magic to activate Etherion. After a few seconds of transferring his energy the Magic Circle began to get brighter, followed by rotating slowly thus making the other Magic Circles to also do the same.. Seeing all of this happening in front him made him darkly smile despite running the risk of being caught.. "In a few moments, my ambitions will come into fruition..! Years of working behind the scene will culminate to the downfall of the Magic World as we know it..! Soon enough, Zeref will finally emerge from his slumber..!"

Meanwhile Siegrain was going through his train of thoughts, behind him was Ultear who was watching Etherion completing it's activation with a neutral expression. Although she was curious to see the if using Etherion on the R-System results the 'awakening' of the Black Wizard, her mind was mostly occupied on a certain black-haired Saiyan who most likely was still in the Tower of Valhalla trying to rescue Erza Scarlet from meeting her impending doom at the hands of either Jellal or Etherion itself. As much it bothers her that Goku is saving another women that is not herself, she can somewhat understand that the Saiyan God will try to save his allies despite the danger he will encounter ahead of him..

It was an admirable mentality to have but that mentality was staring to affect her to the point that she was having doubts in her decision making..

Who would of thought that the one person that showed her kindness and made her fell in love was slowly but surely changing her cold heart to something different. Despite that it directly conflicts with her long-term goal plans..

"You better use that Teleportation technique to get out of there Son-kun..! Or else I won't forgive you for making me this concerned in my entire life.." thought the Arc of Time mage as she slightly gritted her teeth in concern without anyone noticing, as she kept watching the countdown of Etherion releasing all it's might via Lacrima Vision..

"Fellow Councilmen, in a few seconds we will witness the last remaining R-System in the continent of Ishgar disappear into oblivion. This will be written in the history books in the years to come.." commented the Chairman with a prideful voice towards the others in the room who mostly nodded at his comment. They all turned their gaze to the Lacrima Vision as they witnessed Etherion charging a massive amount of Ethernano to unleash it into the R-System..

After a few seconds of waiting, the weapon of mass destruction unleashes a massive beam of raw Magic energy that it even slightly lights up the Control Room despite being hundred of kilometers away from them. As the light began to died down, all the Council members saw the massive beam in it's physical force traveling down at blinding speeds that they thought it would caused a massive explosion, which would cause another blinding light..

But to their surprise and shock, the massive beam of Magic energy wasn't causing any explosion or a chain reaction that Siegrain was expecting. It was like it was being held off by something..

"What's the meaning of this..?!" exclaimed Siegrain loudly and with a hint of anger in his tone of voice as he was trying to not lose his composure in front of the other Councilmen.. "Why hasn't the blast destroyed the R-System as it supposed to..!?"

"It's like something it's stopping the blast from reaching it's goal..! But that should be impossible! a mere mage doesn't have enough Magic power to stop a blast that can destroy multiple countries! Not even our Wizard Saints have that capability to compare the might of Etherion..!" exclaimed one of the elder Councilmen with sweat coming down on his face as he never witnessed something like this happening..

"I don't care about that! We need to find out what's stopping Etherion to reach the R-System..!" exclaimed Siegrain angrily towards the other Council members who agree with his comment but were confused as to why he sounded so angry about it..

"Hold on Councilman Siegrain, I'm using the Lacrima Vision to change it's coordination to where the R-System is located! We most likely find out what's stopping the blast from reaching it's destination..!" commented Gran Doma with urgency as he began to change the coordination of the Lacrima Vision so it can show what was going on the Tower of Valhalla. As the Lacrima Vision fee changes to where the R-System is located, they could see that the blast was being hold off on the top of the Tower which stunned everyone to the core. All of them wanted to know what was holding off the blast and thus the Chairman zooms in the feed so they can see who was the culprit..

What they say left them speechless to the point that they couldn't believe what they were witnessing..

"Impossible.. It's that-..!" said the Chairman with a voice of disbelief as he slightly step back from the screen. However, he couldn't finish his sentence as he was interrupted by a certain blue-haired councilmen..

"Son Goku..!?" shouted Siegrain with a slightly trembling voice as he could feel sweat coming down from his forehead. A million thoughts went through his mind thinking how it was even possible for a mere human to stop a weapon of mass destruction that not even the 'Four Gods of Ishgar' could be able to do. However, his expression suddenly turned into a downright hateful but fearful at the same time from witnessing the 'god-like' strength of Son Goku, who was preventing him and Jellal from achieving their goal to resurrect Zeref "That bastard..! I knew he was the most dangerous one out of Salamander and Erza, but this is ridiculous..! You're telling me he was holding this much power back from Jose Porla and Jura Neekis..?! I need to go back to the Tower and join forces with Jellal if we want to have the slightest chance to finish him off..! He's too dangerous to be left alive..!"

"Son-kun..?!" thought Ultear with a stunned expression that she couldn't move her body from where she was standing. How could she when the man she thought needed to escape to survive Etherion, it's the same man that is pushing back the blast from said weapon of destruction.. "Was he holding back this much power from me and everyone else..?! Where did you gained this much strength? and will it be enough for you to escape in time..?"

"I-Incredible..! Never in my entire life I've seen a mage capable of matching the strength of the Etherion..! Specially someone this young like Son Goku!" exclaimed Councilman Leiji in amazement in his tone of voice, having a hard time believing what he was witnessing in the Lacrima Vision..

"Indeed..! A young mage like Son Goku who just became a Wizard Saint is now showcasing feats that not even the 'Four Gods of Ishgar' have done before..! He could legit become the 'Fifth God of Ishgar' if we announce it to the press and other Kingdoms wouldn't dare to go against us!" added the short male Councilman with nervous excitement in his voice. If the Magic World finds out that their youngest Wizard Saint has strength that matches their strongest mages in the Continent, it would send ripples amongst the Magic World and it would change it completely as we know it..

"So that's Son Goku's true power huh.." thought Councilman Yajima with calm expression as he kept looking at the Lacrima Vision with a critical eye "Your a powerful one aren't you? I wonder where Makarov found someone this powerful at such a young age.."

The conversations and train of thoughts that was happening amongst the Council members was suddenly interrupted when the Lacrima Vision began to light up, which caught the attention of every member of the Magic Council. Most of the didn't know what was happening but they noticed Son Goku holding down the Etherion blast with his right hand and with the left hand touched part of the Tower, which caused everything around him to start becoming brighter than ever.

None of them knew what was currently happening but a certain blue-haired 'Councilmen' did and he couldn't help but to darkly grinning at what Goku was trying to do..

Siegrain has won and it was thanks to the help of his enemy who didn't realize the consequences of his actions..

As the lights on the Lacrima Vision began to died down, some of the Council members expected to see a giant hole where the Tower of Valhalla used to be located, others thought that Goku was responsible for destroying it. However, what most of them didn't expect was the Tower now looking like a giant blue Lacrima that was towering the skies, thus leaving everyone in confusion..

"What's the meaning of this?! Etherion was supposed to destroy the R-System into oblivion! Why is there a giant blue Lacrima towering over where it used to be?!" exclaimed the Chairman of the Council with confusion and slight anger at the same time. He had a multiple thoughts going through his mind about what was going on currently and that's not including what he witnessed from Son Goku trying to stop the blast from Etherion.. However, all his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he stared to hear a chuckle coming from Siegrain that it developed into a full maniac laughter which shocked everyone, except a certain Arc of Time mage who was eerie quiet.. "Councilman Siegrain?! What's going on? Were you aware that this was going to happen?!"

Siegrain kept laughing like a maniac for a couple of seconds until he stopped and stared at everyone with a slight unhinged expression..

"Thank you fellow Councilmen! Thank you! for falling into my act and allowing me to use Etherion to usher a new era in the Magic World..! You're contribution will never be forgotten as long as I live..!" exclaimed Siegrain with unhinged glee as he couldn't get enough from the reactions of those old geezers, then he turns his gaze to where the Lacrima Vision was showcasing the giant crystal made of Ethernano "And also thank you Son Goku! You're noble action of transferring the energy of the Etherion blast into the Tower will never be forgotten. I'll make sure people will remember you as the mage who contributed in the resurrection of Zeref..!"

"So I was right after all, Siegrain wasn't planning to use Etherion for good means. He wanted to use it to resurrect Zeref itself..!" thought Yajima with serious expression but with sweat coming down his forehead, as he noticed that all the other Council members were stunned that one of them basically betrayed them..

"Now if you excuse me, I have a meeting with destiny that I have to attend to back in the Tower of Valhalla.." exclaimed Siegrain casually as he began to walk to where the exit was located. But then he stops and looks at Ultear, who still hasn't spoke up but had a eerie cold expression "Ultear, care to do the honors..?"

After Siegrain said those words, he suddenly disappear from where he was which stunned the Magic Council members as they wonder where the traitor went. However, all of them couldn't complete their thoughts when the entire Control Room along with the Magic Council building began to shake violently that cracks were quickly building up below them. It happened so quickly that in a couple seconds the ground and walls began to collapse which made everyone began to panic, they quickly look to who was responsible for all of this until their gazes landed on Ultear, who's eyes turned to a red-blood Magic circle color as she uses her Arc of Time magic to accelerate the deterioration of the Magic Council building and make it collapse on them..

However, despite Ultear doing what Siegrain and Jellal asked her to do the moment when the Tower of Valhalla became a giant Lacrima, she still had her doubts that this will lead to Zeref being resurrected and that's not adding the emotional weight of her Son-kun resulting being dead from what just happened. The Arc of Time mage hopes that Goku ended up surviving after what he showcased recently but if Goku actually ends up dead and Zeref was never revived, she will make sure to kill Jellal with her own hands and torture him for biting more than he can chew from the 'master' that controlled his mind all those years ago..

Scene Change... Outside of the Tower of Valhalla... August 6th, X784... Midnight..

Gray along with Lucy and Juvia, who were riding the Nimbus cloud in the night sky were still denying/grieving the lost of Goku and the others who were inside the Tower the moment it began to light up, thinking that they perished at that moment. However, they were interrupted when the light that was emitting from the Tower of Valhalla began to died down and it revealed something that they never expected, a giant blue Lacrima towering the skies..

"W-What is that?" asked the Celestial Mage as she cleaned the dried tears from her eyes to see more clearly what's ahead of them..

"Juvia doesn't know, but it looks like a giant Lacrima..!" added the ex-Phantom Lord mage with surprise in her tone of voice. Having a hard time believing what she was seeing ahead of them..

"You're telling me that giant Lacrima was beneath the Tower all this time..?!" stated the Ice-maker mage in disbelief as he began to go through multiple thoughts within his mind "If that Lacrima prevented the Tower and the island from being completely destroyed then Goku and the others should be alive..! If it wasn't for the Lacrima emitting so much Magic energy, I would be able to detect Goku, Natsu or even Erza's Ki..!"

Scene Change... Higher floor of the Tower of Valhalla..

In the higher floors of the Tower of Valhalla that now became a giant blue Lacrima, within one of the giant rooms we could see Goku inspecting his surrounds with a critical eye. He didn't know how this happened but it seems that his gamble actually payed off after all..

"Huh, who would of thought that the Tower absorbing all that energy would make it transform into a giant crystal. I wonder if this is Jellal's true goal and why he was stalling all this time.." said the black-haired Saiyan to himself with a neutral expression as he looks around once more to inspect the room he was at. However, his attention went back to himself as he notice that the entire upper part of his blue Gi was torn apart by the Etherion blast, thus revealing his toned upper body. Meanwhile the lower part of his Gi had some slight ripped holes in different parts, an effect of holding down the Etherion blast. The only thing that remained unscratched was his Power Pole hanging on the left side of his waist.. "Oh man! Maybe I should've gone to King Kai before coming to this world to get all my clothes reinforce..! At this rate I might have to ask someone at the guild to sow all my tattered Gi's..!"

Before Goku could continue to voice his thoughts, his sensing abilities went off as he felt two familiar presences coming to his direction. The Saiyan God turned to his right and from afar he saw a certain Dragon Slayer with his Exceed emerging from one of the many holes in the ground..

"Natsu! Happy!" shouted Goku happily as he waved at his friends to get their attention. The Dragon Slayer with his enhanced hearing managed to picked up a familiar voice as he looks ahead and saw Goku smiling and waving at him "I'm glad that both of you are okay..!"

"Goku..?!" exclaimed Natsu with a surprised expression as he along with Happy, who was sitting on top of his head made their way to where Goku was standing "What are you doing here..? I thought you were with Erza kicking Jellal's ass!"

"Heh, let's just say that a lot of things happened that lead to me being separated from them and the Tower now looking like a giant crystal.." responded the Saiyan God sheepishly as he scratches the back of his neck casually..

"I see, I was wondering why the hell the Tower shifted to this form all of the sudden.." commented the pink-haired mage normally as he looked at his surrounding with curiosity..

"Natsu, aren't you forgetting something?" said Happy neutrally from the top of Natsu's head. The Dragon Slayer thought for a moment about what Happy was referring too until he came a sudden realization..

"Oh right..!" exclaimed Natsu loudly to himself as he looks back at Goku with a determine expression "Goku! I'll be joining you and Erza on the fight against that Jellal guy..! I want to make him pay for making Erza feel awful of herself..!"

"Awesome, with you joining us we should have a easier time to subdue him for good..!" responded the Saiyan God with a smile on his face towards the Dragon Slayer who grins back at Goku. The black-haired Saiyan moves his gaze towards where Happy was and spoke up.. "Happy, why don't you join Gray and the others? They shouldn't be that far from here so you should be capable to catch up with them.."

"Goku is right Happy. I don't want you to get hurt or worst if things go south in the fight.." commented Natsu with a slight concern expression towards his Exceed who nodded in understanding..

"Aye sir! I was thinking of not joining you anyways since I know things will get hectic from here on..!" said the blue cat casually as he activated his wings and jumps out of Natsu's head, thus beginning to float around them.. "What way did Gray and the others went to Goku..?"

"They went that way..!" responded the Saiyan God as he pointed to his left side since that's where he could feel Gray's Ki coming from "Like I said early they shouldn't be that far from here, with your flight speed you should be able to catch up with them no problem..!"

"Alright! Then I'll see you guys later and be careful..! Make sure to kick Jellal's ass for making Erza suffer..!" exclaimed the Exceed with a smile as he flew off to where Goku pointed at..

"Don't worry Happy..! I'll make sure to kick his ass into oblivion..!" shouted the Dragon Slayer towards his companion who was disappearing as he was getting further away from them. As the Exceed left the view of both of them, the Dragon Slayer turned his gaze towards Goku with a determine expression "We should get going Goku..! We can't leave Erza with all the fun while we still here..!"

"Right..! Then hold on to my shoulder, I'll teleport us to where they are..!" commented Goku as he put his index and middle finger into his forehead so he could locate Erza and Jellal's Ki. As Natsu grabs onto his shoulder, the Saiyan God was ready to teleport together to the battlefield until the Dragon Slayer came to a sudden realization and spoke up to Goku..

"Goku hold on..!" exclaimed Natsu loudly as he stopped Goku from teleporting and looks at his student with curiosity "Do you have any Senzu beans with you? I recently fought against this owl guy and he made me use the Kaio-Ken against him so I had to use the Pain Killer to not feel the pain temporarily. I would rather take a Senzu right now so I don't receive the pain recoil in the middle of the fight when the effects of the Pain Killer wears off.."

"Yeah sure! I brought the bag with me luckily..!" responded the Saiyan God neutrally as he takes out a Senzu bean from the small bag that was tied up on his right waist side and gives it to Natsu as he catches it with ease.. "Good job for thinking ahead Natsu..! Who knows what would have happened if the effects of the Pain Killer wore off at the worst moment.."

"Come on man have some faith on me! I might forget some stuff on daily basis but when it comes to fighting I'm always on top of things..!" commented Natsu with a grin towards his master as he eats the Senzu bean and in a few moments he was completely healed, which made him feel satisfied. Nonetheless, the Dragon Slayer's expression turned into a serious one as he spoke up once again towards the Saiyan God "Let's get going Goku..! We gotta teach that bastard a lesson for messing with the wrong guild..!"

"Right..! Hold on tightly then!" exclaimed Goku as he began to lock into Erza's or Jellal's Ki so he could teleport close to them. After a few seconds the black-haired Saiyan was able to sense them but what got him confused was the sudden increase of Jellal's power "Jellal's Ki suddenly increase to a higher level than before and Erza's Ki is getting lower and lower by the second..! Whatever is going on up there we have to intervene..!"

Without wasting time, Goku and Natsu teleport away from where they are to join the battle against Jellal and defeat him once it for all..

Scene Change... Tower of Valhalla... Throne Room.. Few minutes before Goku and Natsu teleport..

"What's going on..?" murmured Erza to herself as she was looking around the room where they at currently, a few moments ago she was hugging Jellal expecting them to die from the Etherion blast and then they were consumed by a bright light that lasted for a few seconds. Then when the light stared to died down, Erza's surroundings were now completely different where all she could see was crystallize Lacrima filled with Ethernano.. "Could it be that the entire Tower absorbed all the energy from Etherion to transform into a giant Lacrima..? Was this the reason why Jellal gave up so easily so he could stall time..?!"

And it seems that her thoughts were becoming true as she began to hear her ex-childhood friend who was on the floor beginning to chuckle darkly, which then developed into a full blown maniac laughter as he began to stand up despite his injury that he got from Erza's attack..

"What's the meaning of this Jellal..!? Why did the Tower transformed into a giant Lacrima..?!" exclaimed the Re-quip mage loudly towards the blue-haired mage who kept laughing for a couple of seconds until he stop and spoke up with glee..

"Finally..! After all these years my goal has become a reality! I really have to thank you Son Goku, you gave the final push to transform the Tower into a giant Lacrima without even realizing it..!" stated Jellal loudly with a unhinged glee, not even caring if other people sees acting like this. Nonetheless, Jellal turned his gaze towards Erza who was glaring daggers at him and couldn't help but to darkly smile at her "You were right in one thing my dear Erza, the Tower of Valhalla required another important element to be activated and now your seeing it in front of you..! By using the power of the Etherion Cannon, the R-System absorbed all that Magic power thus transforming into a giant Lacrima that will allowed me to revive Zeref the Black Wizard..! The dawn of the new Magic World is soon coming upon us..!"

"So that conversation that we had early was nothing but a lie..?!" shouted the Re-quip mage with anger as she felt betrayed for even trusting Jellal when he was playing with her feelings in their previous conversation.. "You bastard..!"

"You really are a foolish individual Erza.." said a familiar voice mockingly behind Erza, which made her eyes go wide in surprise as she quickly backs away and sees who it was. It was none other than the blue-haired Councilman that looks similar to Jellal, his twin brother Siegrain..

"Siegrain..?! but how..?!" exclaimed the red-haired mage with utter shock as she stares at the Councilmen with confusion as to why he was here, but then her expression turned into a angry one as she glares at him "Were you responsible of activating the Etherion Cannon..?!"

"That's right, although Jellal and I are as strong as the current Wizard Saints we didn't posses the Magic power to completely activate the R-System. A complicated situation I'll say, but thanks to those old fossils from the Council they cave to my request and activated Etherion to 'destroy' the R-System not knowing that they just usher a new era in the Magic World..!" explained Siegrain with a cocky smile towards Erza, who kept glaring at him as she gritted her teeth in frustration "You know Erza, you were always so hostile with me. I still remember when you visited my office with Makarov a few years ago and suddenly attacked me despite never meeting me. Even if I told you that Jellal was my twin brother, you wouldn't stopped glaring at me and that kinda hurts you know.."

"How do you wanted me to react?! You're his twin brother that looks and acts almost similar to him! I can't help but to feel wary towards the person that looks similar to the one that almost killed me when I tried to save him from the darkness all those years ago..!" responded Erza with a serious angry tone towards Siegrain who kept smiling darkly at her words.. "But it seems that I was in the correct to always be wary against you, after all you were feeding Jellal important information about myself and other secrets about the Council..!"

"It was my mistake for not convincing you that I wanted to kill my brother in 'the name of Justice', it would have this process all much easier but that's all behind now and the R-System is now completed ready to be activated..!" exclaimed Siegrain casually as he kept his dark smile towards the Re-quip mage..

"I always knew that the two of you were working together despite you denying it..!" commented Erza with a serious expression towards the blue-haired Councilman, who couldn't help but to laugh at her comment which got her slightly confused by the sudden shift of attitude "What's so funny..?!"

"You really are a foolish person Erza.." responded Siegrain with a cocky smirk as he disappeared from where he was standing and re-appears next to Jellal, who also had the same expression as his brother. But what caught her off guard was them speaking at the same time "We are not brothers, we are the same individual..!"

Hearing those words made Erza's eyes go wide in shock as she saw Siegrain assimilating into Jellal's body as if they were becoming one. When the blue-haired Councilmen fused into Jellal completely, a blinding light envelops his entire body for a couple seconds which made Erza cover her eyes from the light. As the light began to died down it revealed Jellal by himself surrounded by a dark golden Magic aura that was causing a heavy pressure around the area they were located..

"Jellal's Magic level is off the charts..! I've never felt such power from a single mage before..!" thought Erza with a stunned expression as she could feel the pressure that Jellal was emitting with his magic, not even Master Makarov could match this amount of power that her ex-childhood friend was now emitting..

"At last, after all these years we are back to being one single entity..!" exclaimed Jellal with a calm smile as he checks himself and his new level of power "I have to admit, the results of using Physical Projection all these years brought in excellent results.."

"Impossible..! Using Physical Projection cuts your Magic power in half! It shouldn't have granted you this amount of power..!" exclaimed Erza towards her ex-childhood friend in denial as she couldn't believe that his power could increase this much for using a technique that supposedly cuts the power of the user in half regardless..

"You're right in one thing Erza, Physical Projection does cut the user's power in half which is why Siegrain and I decided to build back our strength by learning multiple fighting styles, Magic spells and building back our Magic reserves over the years..!" explained Jellal with a cocky smile than turned into an unhinged grin "And since Siegrain and I became as strong as the current Wizard Saints, by fusing together I have become one of the strongest mages in the continent..! Not even the Four Gods of Ishgar would hold a candle against the monstrous power that I now posses..!"

"That's impossible..! Nobody can become that powerful even if you build up your power to how it used to be..!" yelled back the Re-quip mage, trying to deny the obvious power gap that was now between them..

"I hope you have enjoyed that fake liberty of yours my dear Erza because you will be the first sacrifice in the name of Zeref..!" exclaimed Jellal with a chilling voice as he disappeared at blinding speeds from where he was standing which made Erza to start looking around frantically.. However, in a blink of an eye a fist collided into her stomach with such force that a booming sound could be heard around them, the Re-quip mage began to spit out a great amount of blood and saliva as she slowly looks down to see Jellal's fist buried into her stomach..

"With a single punch he has rendered me useless..?! Just how powerful did Jellal become after fusing with Siegrain..?!" thought Erza to herself as she collapsed to her knees meanwhile still spitting blood from her mouth after such devastating punch. The Re-quip mage felt that she was beginning to lose consciousness but all of the sudden she felt someone pulling her forcefully by her ponytail and making her get up...

"It's still not time to sleep Erza.." exclaimed Jellal with a dark smile as he began to drag her by the hair to a familiar crystallize pillar that once was in the middle of the previous throne room.. "Time to say goodbye Erza Scarlet..! Become the key to revive Zeref to usher the new Magic World..!"

Erza couldn't help but to tear up as she closes her eyes, accepting her destiny to die at the hands of her ex-childhood friend who succumbed to the darkness. But what hurt her the most was that she couldn't saved Jellal, she failed to her childhood friends and her current ones by not surviving and not being able to comeback to Fairy Tail safe and sound. And the worst part was dragging her team into a situation in where all of them will die at the hands of Jellal..

Erza saw herself as a complete failure who couldn't save her friends..

Before the Re-quip mage could be absorbed by the Lacrima pillar to awaken Zeref, the blue-haired mage expression turned into a surprised one as he blocked a surprised attack that pushes him back thus separating himself from Erza. The red-haired mage then felt she was being carried in bridal-style as she slowly opened her eyes to see that the person carrying her was none other than Goku..

"Erza-chan are you alright..? I'm sorry we took so long to rescue you.." stated Goku with a soft smile towards the Re-quip mage who was slightly confused by this turned of events..

"Goku-kun..? And Natsu..?" said Erza with slightly confusion as she looks ahead of her to see a certain Dragon Slayer now standing in where Jellal was standing previously with his right fist extended..

"Come on Erza, you're telling that this bum is giving you problems..?! You're the strongest women in the Kingdom..!" exclaimed Natsu with a savage grin as he stares at where Jellal was standing with a calm smile on his face..

"Don't underestimate him Natsu..! His power is on a whole entire level..! You won't be able to defeat him with the strength he posses..!" responded Erza with urgency in her tone of voice as she was being help to stand up properly by the Saiyan God..

"I would listen to her if I were you Salamander..." stated Jellal as he got everyone's attention "Although you pack quite a punch, it is nothing compared to the strength that I currently posses.."

The Dragon Slayer was about to respond back until the black-haired Saiyan spoke up against him..

"You gotten quite a power jump Jellal, at first I thought Erza-chan was going to be able to defeat you but it seems I'll have to step in to stop you for good. Although, I'm excited to see where your true power currently lies..!" exclaimed Goku with confidence as he lets go of Erza and walks towards Jellal's direction, who also did the same thing as he made his way to meet Goku in the middle to have a face off..

When both Goku and Jellal met in the middle of the battlefield both of them activated their respective aura's, Goku being enveloped in his white Ki aura which represents 10% of his Base Form power, meanwhile Jellal activated his dark golden Magic aura with a dark smile on his face. Their two aura's collided with each other that it began to create powerful wind gust around the battlefield, along with lightning that hit on different parts of the area thus causing destruction in their surroundings..

"Incredible..! Goku-kun is matching Jellal's monstrous power like if it's nothing..!" thought the Re-quip mage with a stunned expression as she covers herself from the wind gust that their powers were emitting "But I also can sense that Jellal is also holding back more of his newfound power..! Goku-kun won't be able to defeat him by himself with the current power he possess!"

"Damn it..! I can't stay in the sidelines and do nothing when I said I was joining the fight..!" said Natsu to himself as he activated his own Magic fiery aura and began to make his way to where Goku and Jellal were having their stare-off..

"What's the matter Son Goku..? Why don't you use that technique of yours that increases your power..?" commented Jellal with a cocky smile on his face towards the Saiyan who smiled back in confidence..

"I won't be needing it in this fight..! Fighting you with my current power should be enough to defeat you for good.." responded Goku confidently as he knew that Jellal was referring to his Kaio-Ken. After all, he showcased part of his power in front of thousands of people back in the Crocus Coliseum when he fought against Jura Neekis, so he's not surprised that he knows about his power..

"Hey..! Don't forget about me too..!" exclaimed Natsu loudly as he got next to the Saiyan God and activated his full power, which made his orange fiery aura turn into a deep red followed by increasing the temperature of the battlefield.. "I'll make sure to kick your ass into oblivion for capturing Erza..!"

"Hmph..! Although you're emitting a quite interesting energy source that is not just Dragon Slayer magic, it won't be enough to even damage me..!" responded Jellal cockily towards Natsu as he got into a fighting position, followed by Natsu and Goku who also did the same.. "But if you two want to try your luck against me then be my guest Salamander, Son Goku..! After all, the Council or anyone else won't be interrupting this battle thanks to my companion that has been helping me under the shadows over the years..! We can fight to our hearts content..!"

"Jellal had someone from the Council helping him all this time..? Could he be talking about Ul-chan? Did she killed all of them to further achieve her personal goals along with Jellal..?!" thought the Saiyan God with a serious expression as he kept his gaze straight towards Jellal, meanwhile his mind was filled with thoughts about what could have happened in the Magic Council and if Ultear actually killed all of them..

However, this wasn't the moment to think about that when there's a fight that's about to happen so he decided to think about it for later..

Meanwhile the stare off was going on, Erza couldn't believe what she was witnessing in front of her. Here it was Natsu, who she treats as her 'little brother' stronger than ever staring down at her ex-childhood friend who succumbed to the darkness without any fear in his eyes, not realizing that despite being stronger he was out of his league. Next to the Dragon Slayer was Goku, her current crush facing down who once was her previous crush which makes it ironic in her point of view, it was like if Goku was trying to save her from her troubling past..

Even so, Erza couldn't bear to watch this fight unfold knowing that precious people of her will die thanks to her past..

"Goku-kun...! Natsu...!" exclaimed the Re-quip mage with a pained expression as she held onto the nearest rock formation, cursing herself from not recovering from that previous attack.. "Please listen to me..! You both can't defeat him, he's way out of your league with the power he currently possess..! Please run away..!"

Both Saiyan God and Dragon Slayer slightly turned their gaze to where the S-Class mage was, from the pleading expression she was showing they could see that she was beginning to cry from one of her eyes, trying to convince them to not fight against Jellal. Although the two of them didn't know Jellal personally like Erza did, they knew for sure that he couldn't get away from the things he has done against Erza and the other innocent people..

Not wanting to see Erza in that kind of state once again, Natsu uses his speed to re-appeared behind the Re-quip mage and chops the back of her neck thus knocking her unconscious. Natsu manages to catch her and softly puts her down on the floor separated from the battle, then he moves his gaze towards Jellal who was looking at him with curiosity and begins to glare at him fiercely that it would even make an S-Class mage step back in hesitation..

Goku who saw everything somewhat understood why Natsu did what he did. He didn't wanted to see Erza crying any longer since he had this image of the Re-quip mage being the strongest female in the guild and seeing her in that state must have affected the Dragon Slayer deeply.. Although, the Saiyan God wondered why Natsu wanted to keep the image of the strong Erza alive, he understood that by knocking her out she won't have to suffer when seeing this battle..

Which means there will be no more distractions..

"Erza was crying... Her voice trembling with pain and suffering.." murmured Natsu as he didn't move his glare from Jellal as he made his way back to where he was standing next to Goku previously, followed by pressing his heart pressure point with his right thumb.. "Erza is one of the strongest female mages in the Kingdom..! I known her to be that strong person all my life and to see her in that state bothers me a lot..! When she wakes up again all her nightmares will be over because I'll defeat right here and now..! Kaio-Ken..!"

After saying those words, Natsu's fiery aura was replaced by a wild red Ki aura that made his muscle bigger than usual, followed by creating powerful wind gust that could be felt in the entire battlefield..

"Natsu is right..!" responded Goku with determination as he flared his white Ki aura which caused powerful wind gust "We won't let you get away with what you have done to Erza-chan and the others..! I'll make sure you pay ten-fold..!"

Jellal stood quiet for a moment after hearing the words of his opponent and then began to laugh manically for a couple of seconds as he gave an amused expression to both Goku and Natsu..

"You really are something Salamander..! It seems you're not going to be a pest after all in this fight..! Although, just because you posses an ability that increases your power twice doesn't mean that you can defeat me.." stated Jellal with cocky smirk as he began to wave his hand to come at him "Now, come at me with everything you both got..! I'm tired of waiting..!"

"You took the words right out of my mouth..!" shouted the Dragon Slayer fiercely as he and Goku ran towards Jellal at hyper-sonic speeds, thus creating a boom that made the entire battlefield tremble. The blue-haired mage smirked at this and dashes to their direction at the same speed as them. When the three fighters collided in the middle of the battlefield it created a powerful shock-wave that shook the entire Tower to it's core, the cause of it being Goku and Natsu trying to punch Jellal with their fist which was caught by the blue-haired mage hands. This surprised Natsu since he didn't expect his opponent to catch his attack with ease despite using the Kaio-Ken. However, the Saiyan God kept a calm expression since he's currently testing Jellal's newfound strength..

Not wanting to waste time, Jellal quickly lifts Natsu to his right side from the fist he was holding on to and delivers a shattering right kick into the Dragon Slayer's stomach that makes him spit saliva with blood, followed by crashing into the nearest pillar of Lacrima. However, this gave Goku an opportunity to land a precise attack..

"Renewal Taekwondo: One Inch Vortex Punch..!" exclaimed Goku as he shakes his right arm at blinding speeds as he creates a small vortex around his hand and follows up by delivering a One Inch Punch towards Jellal's chest. The moment that Goku's punch made contact with Jellal not only it created a powerful shock-wave that shook the entire battlefield, but also sends the blue-haired mage flying to the nearest pillar formation. However, before he could crash Jellal stops himself by grabbing on the floor forcefully with his strength and prevents him from colliding to the pillar that was close to him..

"Not bad Son Goku..!" responded Jellal casually as he wipes the blood coming from his mouth after receiving Goku's attack "I can see how you were able to defeat a Wizard Saint like Jura Neekis or Jose Porla with no problems. However, your going to need more than that to defeat me..!"

"I wouldn't let my guard down if I were you Jellal..!" exclaimed Goku with a confident smile towards Jellal who raised his eyebrow in confusion after hearing his words. However, Jellal's eyes went slightly wide as he notice the Dragon Slayer coming to his direction at hyper-sonic speeds with one of his fist engulfed in red flames..

"Fire Dragon King: Iron Fist!" shouted the Dragon Slayer as he quickly approaches towards his opponent, ready to give him a decisive blow with one of his most powerful physical attacks..

"Tekkai..!" exclaimed Jellal as he hardened every muscle in his body to the point that it was hard as an Iron Shell. He receives Natsu's attack to the face and felt almost nothing thanks to his technique, despite cracks forming below his feet. However, he was taken by surprise when the force of Natsu's punch sends him crashing into the nearest pillar of Lacrima.

Unfortunately for Jellal, the Dragon Slayer wasn't done with his onslaught as he summons an orange magic circle in front of him, followed by taking a deep inhale of air..

"Fire Dragon Roar..!" roared Natsu as he unleashes a giant wave of fire from his mouth that headed towards Jellal like a comet. The blue-haired mage who was still stuck on the pillar of Lacrima received Natsu's attack head on as he was consumed by the flames. However, the Dragon Slayer wasn't done as he pours more energy into his Fire Dragon Roar, thus the attack increasing in size and strength. It got to the point that it caused a massive explosion that shook the entire battlefield to it's core along with the Tower, followed by hot wind gust that would made any normal person suffocate from the heat..

After finishing his onslaught, Natsu takes a knee as he began to catch his breath from using his Magic and Ki continuously in his Kaio-Ken state. He was lucky that he took a Senzu bean before the battle or else he would have been out of energy so early into the battle..

"Natsu! Are you alright..?" asked the Saiyan God with slight concern as he goes to where the Dragon Slayer was taking a knee. Natsu in respond just nodded at his question as he began to stand up normally despite still taking deep breaths.. "Hey don't be pushing yourself too much..! Using the Kaio-Ken that way when you had it for such short time can really damage your body, if you need to take a break then do it and I'll take over the fight.."

"And let you have all the fun?! No way! I'm staying in this fight all the way to the end..!" responded Natsu slightly tired but still showing his typical grin towards Goku, who couldn't help but to smile back at the determination of his student/friend.. "Hey Goku! Do you think that was enough to damage him or something..?"

"I'm not sure but I can tell you that this is far from over.." responded Goku with a serious expression as he and Natsu move their gaze to where a thick cloud of smoke and fire was located thanks to Natsu's Fire Dragon Roar. The Saiyan God and the Dragon Slayer both saw Jellal emerging from the thick smoke with no damages in his body as he was surrounded by a Magic barrier that protected him from the Dragon Slayer's flames..

"I have to admit it Salamander that slightly impressive, if I didn't put my Magic barrier on time I would have received some damage from that attack.." stated Jellal with a cocky smirk on his face as he lowers his Magic barrier casually and begins to look at Natsu, who was gritting his teeth in frustration that his onslaught barely worked.. "However, if that's all your power you posses as a Dragon Slayer then consider myself disappointed. Son Goku would have been enough in this battle, you're just a insignificant pest that has no chance to ever damage me..!"

"You think I'm a insignificant pest huh..?!" exclaimed Natsu as he glare daggers at Jellal as he began to being enveloped in his Kaio-Ken aura. However, compared to earlier his aura became more wilder than usual which was noticed by Goku immediately.. "Then let me show you what this 'insignificant pest' can do! Kaio-Ken Times Two!"

"Natsu wait..!" stated Goku loudly as he tried to stop Natsu from attacking but it was no use as the Dragon Slayer dashes at blinding speeds towards Jellal.. "Damn it, at the rate that he's using the Kaio-Ken he will definitely damage his body permanently..!"

"Heh, what a imprudent brat..! let me show just how superior my Celestial Magic is against your Dragon Slayer Magic..!" responded Jellal with a dark smile as he was enveloped in a golden bright aura which made his power increase to a higher level than before.. "Meteor..!"

In a blink of an eye, the blue-haired mage appears in front of Natsu and knees him in the stomach with such force that a loud 'boom' sound was heard through the entire battlefield. The Dragon Slayer began to spit blood from his mouth as he tried to catch his breath, but Jellal wasn't done there as he followed up with powerful roundhouse kick that sends Natsu crashing violently into the nearest Lacrima pillar. Before the blue-haired mage could dash off to where his opponent was, he was suddenly stopped by a certain Saiyan God who appeared in front of him..

"You finally decided to join the fun Son Goku..?" asked Jellal with a unhinged smile towards the black-haired Saiyan who kept his serious expression "Why don't we take this outside in the skies..? I heard rumors that you posses the ability to fly freely, I want to see if your flight can keep up with my Meteor..!"

"Fine by me, let's take this outside..! It was getting stuffy in this crystallize cave.." responded Goku with a serious face which then morphs into a confident smirk as he began to enveloped himself in his white Ki aura.. "I hope that Meteor technique of yours can keep up with my flight speed because you're going to need it..!"

"Oh trust me it will..! And with it I'll make sure to wipe that confident face of yours..!" roared Jellal with a unhinged grin as he and Goku shoot off to the sky at hyper-sonic speeds, thus leaving a trail of their respective aura on the way. On the way to the sky, both Goku and Jellal were engaging in a hand-to-hand in which both were testing each other's abilities as a fighter. This kept going until both of them reach the outside of the Tower and separated themselves, thus creating a boom that was heard everywhere in the sky..

As the two fighters were floating in the sky, both Goku and Jellal were staring at each other with intensity as they flared up their respective auras followed by dashing towards each other at blinding speeds. In a blink of an eye, both fighters collided their fist together which created a powerful Island-sized shockwave that shook the Tower and the island to it's core, it was powerful enough that it destroyed part of the structure as the giant pieces Lacrima collapsed from the highest point of the Tower of Valhalla. However, Goku and Jellal didn't care about that as both of them continued their hand-to-hand throughout the night sky at blinding speeds, each collision of their fist and kicks creating booms that made the entire island tremble, along with their auras leaving trails of energy that made the sky look like a constellation..

It was true battle between high-tier fighters..

(A/N: This scene is similar to what Garou and Platinum Sperm did in their fight in the One Punch Man manga or also how what Sung Jin Woo and Beru did recently in the Solo Leveling anime)

However, what Goku and Jellal didn't realized was that they had spectators watching this incredible fight kilometers away from them in a certain golden cloud..

"Um guys..? Are you seeing what I'm seeing right now? I'm not the only one right..?" asked Lucy with a stunned expression as she looks at the spectacle that was unraveling above the Tower of Valhalla..

"Yeah.. It's looks like those bright 'stars' are fighting against each other..! Juvia can feel the shock-waves every time they collide despite being so far away from them..!" responded Juvia with a startled voice as she could hear and feel the loud booms those 'stars' were producing..

"It's because those are not 'stars' fighting each other..!" exclaimed Gray loudly towards the two girls as he got their attention. However, the Ice-maker mage didn't move his gaze away from the fight going on above the skies "That's Goku fighting against Jellal..! The administrator of the Tower of Valhalla..!"

"My beloved Goku-kun is alive..?!" asked the Celestial Mage with hope in her tone of voice as she looks back to the fight that Gray is looking at. To make sure the Ice-maker mage wasn't lying to her, Lucy closed her eyes and began to concentrate to use her Ki sensing abilities as she tries to track Goku's energy. After a few seconds of concentration, the blonde-haired girl was able to sense the Saiyan God's energy which made her smile brightly as she could feel tears beginning to form in her eyes "Gray is right..! My beloved is still alive which means Natsu, Erza and Happy are still alive..!"

"Juvia knew that Goku-sama was going to be alright..!" said the Water mage with a bright smile on her face, along with a slight blush on her cheeks after realizing that her guarding angel that saved her life was still alive.. "Isn't he amazing Gray-sama..?"

"Yeah he is.. After all, he's my second master who has taught me to always strive to become stronger..!" responded Gray with a small smile as he was still watching the fight, trying to keep up with the speed that both Goku and Jellal were fighting at.. "Damn it..! I hate the fact that I'm still not strong enough to fight by your side to help you..! However, when all of this is over I'll make sure to train the hardest I have ever done in my entire life..! So win this fight Goku..!"

Back in the fight, Jellal delivers a powerful axe kick towards Goku who manages to block it with his left arm with ease and then uses his right hand to deliver powerful right hook to Jellal's face. The force of Goku's attack manages to send the blue-haired mage back a couple of meters, as he recovers himself Jellal wipes the blood that coming from his mouth and rushes towards the black-haired Saiyan at blinding speeds. Before reaching his destination Jellal forms a flying kick to attack Goku head on, unfortunately for him the Saiyan God blocks his incoming kick by making an 'X' sign with his hands. However, despite blocking the attack the force of Jellal's kick managed to send Goku flying back a couple of meters thus allowing Jellal to follow up with another attack..

"Now Son Goku..! Let me show you the destructive power of Heavenly Body Magic..!" exclaimed Jellal with a unhinged smile as he places both hands on top of each other with the top hand having only the index and middle fingers spread out. Followed by summoning seven golden magic seals in front of him that connects together to make what appears to be a constellation..

"Each Magic circle is building up enough energy to wipe out an entire city..! Jellal is proving to me that he truly is the strongest mage I have fought in this world. It's unfortunate that he has been brainwashed to be evil.." thought the Saiyan God with a serious expression as he felt pity that his opponent could have been a great person and an amazing fighter as well. However, Goku didn't have the luxury to think about what ifs when he's in a fight that he was enjoying so far so he decided to form a confident smile and fight back Jellal's attack "Then show me your true strength Jellal..! I'm waiting with anticipation..!"

"As you wish! May the Seven Stars bring judgement upon you! Grand Chariot!" shouted the blue-haired mage as he unleashes from the golden magic circles seven giant blasts of magic energy towards Goku at blinding speeds. Without wasting time, Goku got into his turtle hermit stance as he envelops himself with his white Ki aura. As he begins to knock away the first blast with his strength to the side which caused the attack to explode, the Saiyan God immediately was able to feel the weight of the attack..

"That blast was heavier than usual..! It was like I was knocking away a meteor coming from the atmosphere..!" thought Goku with a somewhat surprised expression as he didn't expect Jellal's attack to be that heavy. However, the Saiyan quickly shakes his head as he once again concentrates himself on swatting away all of Jellal's blasts. In a quick succession Goku knocks away the next five meteor-sized blast from Jellal with his strength to different direction, each one exploding after swatting it away. Meanwhile with the last one, Goku creates an Ki ball of energy of the size of a soccer ball and collides it with Jellal's last blast, which causes a an explosion that envelopes the Saiyan God and it's surroundings..

Despite Goku not being damage by said explosion, he was surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke that covered his view which was beginning to annoy him. With a quick Kiai from his hands, the Saiyan God dissipates the cloud of smoke and quickly moves his gaze towards Jellal who had his right leg lift up like he was about to kick the air..

"Rankyaku..!" exclaimed Jellal loudly as he kicks the air twice in a quick succession thus unleashing two air blades towards the Saiyan God..

"That's the same technique he used against Erza-chan..!" thought Goku with a serious expression as he blocks the first air slash with his right hand and sends it down to the ocean, for the second one air slash the Saiyan God unleashes from his left hand a powerful Kiai to cancel out the air slash. However, Goku began to hear a weird sound coming from the ocean and as he looks down he noticed that Jellal's air slash that he send down was able to split part of the ocean.. "His air slashes have definitely become stronger than before, I wonder if this is all the strength he can muster at this moment.."

The Saiyan God began to descend from the skies back into the crystallized cave where Natsu and Erza are currently located, followed by Jellal who also descended down to keep the fight going..

"What's the matter Son Goku? Can't handle to fight in the skies for that long?" asked the blue-haired mage with a cocky tone of voice towards the Saiyan God, who just confidently smiles back at him..

"Nah, I can fight in the skies for days if I want to. I just like to fight more when I'm in the ground.." responded Goku with confidence in his tone of voice as he noticed that Jellal was showing an annoyed expression "I hope you have more interesting techniques in your arsenal! Because if that's all you can do then you have no chance in beating me.."

"That overconfidence of yours is really staring to get me annoyed..!" exclaimed Jellal with angry expression but still keeping his unhinged smile as he flares his golden bright aura, thus creating small wind gust around the battlefield "I'll make sure to personally erase that cocky smile of yours before slowly killing you in front of your friends..!"

Meanwhile on the sidelines, we could see Natsu emerging from a crater with injuries around his body and blood dropping from his mouth thanks to Jellal's assault. Although the Pain Killer technique is preventing him from feeling any physical pain, he can still feel the fatigue building up and his energy reserves diminish. However, the Dragon Slayer didn't care about that currently as he began to get angry at the fact that he couldn't land a solid and effective attack on Jellal, it made him frustrated that he was being useless in this fight and allowing Goku to take all the fun..

Well that was about to change because he was going to break his limits right here and now..!

"Body you better not fail me in this moment because I'm going to beat Jellal's ass for making Erza cry..!" snarled Natsu as he got into a fighting stance and flares up his Kaio-Ken aura which is getting bigger and wilder each second it passes, along with his muscles becoming bigger and his skin becoming slightly pink from the heat he was emitting "He will pay for treating me like a insect! Kaio-Ken Times Three!"

As Natsu began to roar his red wild Ki aura got bigger to the point that it shoot off into the sky, followed by creating powerful wind gusts that got the attention of both Goku and Jellal..

"Natsu don't..!" shouted Goku with a concerned expression as he looks at his student "Your body is still not strong enough to handle that much raw power..! It will destroy your body..!"

"Oh..? So the little pest still has more left in the tank.." stated Jellal with an amused expression as he turns his body to face the Dragon Slayer, who was glaring fiercely at him "By all means, give your best shot if you even can.."

Without wasting time, Natsu runs towards Jellal at hyper-sonic speeds that he reaches him in less than a second as he forms a fist ready to attack him. However, Jellal manages to dodge the attack as he quickly jumps back to gain some space and with his superior speed disappears from Natsu's view and appears behind him ready to attack him. Unfortunately for Jellal, the Dragon Slayer manages to sense Jellal and quickly turns around and blocks his attack with his right hand which surprise the blue-haired man..

"What the..? He is able to keep up with my speed in Meteor now..?" thought Jellal with a surprised expression as he couldn't believe that the 'insect' manage to block his attack. Not even realizing that Natsu was going to follow up with a surprised attack..

"Fire Dragon King: Iron Fist..!" roared the Dragon Slayer as he delivers a powerful upper cut to Jellal's chin with his fist engulfed in red flames. The force of the attack was strong enough that it created a powerful shock-wave that shook the battlefield as he sends Jellal flying up. However, the blue-haired mage manages to stop himself from flying up as he looks down at the Dragon Slayer with a angry expression meanwhile wiping the blood coming down from his mouth..

"You little shit..! You'll pay for that!" exclaimed Jellal with anger as he notice that Natsu got into a strange stance as he began to increase his energy even more than usual..

"I still haven't perfected this attack to the fullest! But I have to try if I want to defeat him once it for all..!" thought Natsu as he cusp both hands together next to his waist, ready to unleash his strongest Kamehameha he has ever done. However, when the blue ball of energy appeared it began to create rings of flames that surrounded the blue ball, this of course caught the attention of the Saiyan God..

"Is Natsu fusing his Dragon Slayer magic into the Kamehameha..?! I didn't expect him to be the first one to fuse the two sources of energy he possesses..!" thought Goku with a surprised expression that morphed into a prideful one as he began to feel proud for Natsu for making this much progress in such a short time. He couldn't wait to see the results of this attack..

"Take this you bastard..! Dragon Slayer Secret Arts: Fire Dragon Kamehameha..!" roared Natsu with all his might as he unleashes from his hands the strongest Kamehameha he's ever done towards Jellal. The blue blast fused with his Dragon Slayer flames was so powerful that a medium-sized crater was formed below his feet and that's not mentioning his muscles slowly being ripped apart in the inside despite not feeling pain thanks to the Pain Killer technique..

But Natsu didn't care about the consequences this will cause to his body, as long as he manages to take down Jellal is what mattered to him currently..

"Hah! Do you really think this will kill me..?!" exclaimed Jellal loudly as he coated his hands with his Magic energy and got himself ready to block the incoming attack. When Natsu's Kamehameha made contact with Jellal's hands at first he didn't have much problems blocking it. However, as each second passes on the attack was beginning to push him back along with burning his hands despite protecting them with his Magic.. "Impossible..! His attack is actually overwhelming me and burning my hands..?! If I don't move out of the way I could be in trouble..!"

"Meteor..!" shouted the blue-haired mage as flares up his bright golden aura and quickly moves out of the way of Natsu's attack. Jellal looks up to the sky to see how the Kamehameha infused with Dragon Slayer magic kept going until it reaches a high altitude where it exploded, thus causing the night sky to light up in orange for a couple of seconds followed by a powerful shock-wave that shook the entire Tower of Valhalla along with the island and it's surroundings..

"That was incredible..! His Kamehameha infused with Dragon Slayer magic would have destroyed this entire island if it had made contact with land..!" thought the Saiyan God with a stunned expression as he moves his gaze towards Natsu, who was now back to his normal state as he was breathing hard from all the energy he just unleashed "However, Natsu hasn't mastered that technique yet and with him using the Kaio-Ken Times Three not only he wasted all his energy but also his muscles must be completely destroyed despite not registering the pain yet. I got to help him..!"

Without wasting time, the Saiyan God heads towards where Natsu was standing as he wheeze for air and knees down from the fatigue he was currently feeling..

"Hey Natsu, stay still I'm going to give you some of my energy so you can keep moving.." stated Goku calmly as he was next to the Dragon Slayer and with his left hand begins to channel small part of his energy into his body. After a few seconds of waiting, Natsu could feel some of his energy being back and slowly began to get up..

"Thank you for that Goku, if it wasn't for you transferring some energy into me I wouldn't be physically able to continue the fight. Even if I used the Pain Killer technique I still felt like my body was about to shut down after doing that attack.." stated Natsu tiredly with a grateful expression towards the Saiyan God who just smile back at him..

"That's what happens when you use higher multipliers of the Kaio-Ken when your body is not physically ready to handle that power.." responded Goku with a teacher-like tone towards the Dragon Slayer "Try to not use two times or three times in this battle or else you will cause irreparable damage on your body muscles that no amount of Senzu beans will heal.."

"I'll keep that in mind but no promises though..!" responded Natsu with a nervous smile to the black-haired Saiyan who couldn't help but to sign at that answer. Before he could say something back, Jellal descends from above and lands a few feet away from them which caught the attention of both Goku and Natsu..

"I have to admit it Salamander, that attack was quite impressive coming from an insect like yourself..! It almost burn both of my hands.." responded Jellal with a serious expression as he could feel a burning sensation within his hands but ignored it as he kept glaring at his opponent.. "You have no idea how much I want to kill both of you with that same amount of energy. However, I can't allow the Tower to keep getting damage from our fight so I'm ending this right here and now.."

"Heh, you heard that Goku..?" said Natsu with a tired amused expression as he punches the floor which left a crater below his fist "That bastard doesn't want more destruction to happen to his dear Tower..!"

"Yeah, I heard you.." added Goku to the conversation with a smirk on his face as he forms a gun sign with his right hand and from his two fingers he shoots off a small Ki blast towards the nearest wall, which ends up destroying it with ease.. "And as far as I know, the Fairy Tail members are always known for leaving destruction in their path so we gotta fill up that quota..!"

"You pieces of shit..!" snarled Jellal with fury as he clenches his fist tightly, followed by being enveloped in his bright golden Magic aura "I'll make sure to slowly kill the both of you, you'll experience what a inferno truly is..!"

"I've heard worst from other opponents I have fought before..! I think you can come up with something better Jellal..!" responded the Saiyan God with a slight cocky tone as he crossed his arms with a smirk, trying to rattled Jellal to fight at his full power which will cause the Tower of Valhalla to collapse..

"And I really hope that inferno that you're mentioned can rival my hot flames..! Or else I'll be very disappointed..!" added the Dragon Slayer to the conversation with a savage grin on his face as he engulfed his right hand with his Dragon Slayer flames..

"Enough of this insolence..! Rankyaku Shuriken!" shouted Jellal with fury as he kicked the air twice with such force that it created two air slashes coming towards Goku and Natsu. However, both notice that instead of the typical air slash Jellal has been creating it began to take a shape of a shuriken that ninjas usually use. The Saiyan God with a strong Kiai that came from his right hand destroys the air slash shuriken with ease, meanwhile Natsu at first tried to dodge it by jumping to the right but what the Dragon Slayer didn't expect was the shuriken was beginning to follow him everywhere. Not wanting to deal with it any longer, Natsu unleashes a wave of fire from his right hand and destroys the air slash shuriken..

The blue-haired mage was seething at the fact that his attacks were brushed off that without wasting time, he activated his Meteor golden aura and dashes at hyper-sonic speeds to where Goku and Natsu were standing. Jellal appears in-between them and quickly forms two golden giant orbs from each hand and shoots it off at both Saiyan God and Dragon Slayer..

"He can do the Grand Chariot without activating his spell..?!" thought Goku with a surprised expression as he could feel the 'Meteor-like' weight coming from the blast he was holding on, similar to the ones he deal with earlier. However, this was nothing for the Saiyan raised on Earth as he launches Jellal's blast to the sky which exploded after a few seconds..

Meanwhile the pink-haired mage was having a difficult time as he could feel Jellal's blast pushing him back. Even with his full strength he couldn't deviate the blast to another direction which left him no choice to push his body to the limit once again..

"Kaio-Ken Times Two..!" shouted the Dragon Slayer as he was enveloped once again by the red wild Ki aura and began to push back Jellal's blast slowly but surely. With another powerful roar, Natsu finally manages to send the blast up to the sky but instead of traveling all the way like Goku did, it crashed into a corner of the giant cave they were at and destroys part of the Tower thanks to the explosion it caused..

"How dare you Salamander..! I'll make sure to cut every limb of your body before killing you for good..!" roared Jellal angrily as he dashes to where Natsu was and tightens his fist ready to punch him. However, what the blue-haired mage didn't expect was for Natsu to respond back by also colliding his fist with Jellal's thus causing a powerful shock-wave around the battlefield..

"What's the matter Jellal..?! Are you holding back on me because the Tower won't be able to handle..?! Because if you are then that's really a shame.." stated Natsu with a savage smirk towards the blue-haired mage, who eyes narrow dangerously as he began to increase his power output thus making his golden aura bigger than usual..!

"Who's holding back now Salamander..!" shouted Jellal with a unhinged smile as he quickly creates a golden orb of Magic energy with his left hand and collides it to Natsu's stomach. This caused an explosion that sends Natsu violently crashing into the nearest pillar where Erza was laying down face down. However, the crashing sound made the red-haired mage began to slowly open her as she began to look around her surroundings and notice that Natsu was buried in a crater he created from the impact, looking like he was about to fall unconscious meanwhile Jellal was approaching them with a unhinged expression..

She needed to do something before he died by the hands of her ex-childhood friend. Even if it kills her at the end..

"You will pay the consequences for damaging the Tower of Valhalla..!" exclaimed Jellal with a sinister smile as he crosses his arms above his head "I'll erase you from existence you worm..!"

"Natsu..!" shouted Goku with a concerned expression as he could tell that Natsu's energy was dangerously decreasing after receiving such attack head on that he wouldn't be able to move currently. If he receives another attack of that level he's going to get himself killed.. "You won't lay a hand of him..!"

"Stay still..!" stated the blue-haired mage with authority as he extended his right hand towards Goku's direction meanwhile a weird red magic circle began to appear on his right hand palm. The red magic circle immediately began to take effect on Goku's body as he was suddenly frozen on the spot, not being able to move a single muscle from his body which shocked him to the core..

"What the..?! I can't move at all..!" exclaimed Goku shocked as he tried to move any part of his body with his strength, but it was resulting to be useless so far.. "Not even me at 10% of my power in Base Form is enough?! Just what kind of technique is this?!"

"I always knew you were always going to be an issue in my path to revive Zeref.. So thanks to my helper who is a Arc of Time mage she was able to teach me a magic spell that allows me to freeze time within the opponents body for the next five minutes. I call it Time Cage.." explained Jellal with a dark smile on his face towards Goku, who's eyes went wide at hearing his explanation..

"He was able to learn one of Ul-chan's techniques..?!" thought the Saiyan God with frustration as he tried to get out of his current predicament but even with his current power level it was useless, which meant that he needed to increase his power level beyond 10% of his Base Form strength.. Before the Saiyan God could elevate his strength, he was suddenly distracted as he notice Erza beginning to slowly stand up and getting in front of Natsu's half unconscious body so she can confront Jellal "Erza-chan..!"

"Oh..? You're finally awake my dear Erza and it seems your eager to get in my way to execute Salamander.." said Jellal with a mocking tone of voice as he got back into crossing his arms above his head "If you're that eager to die than fine by me, I'll just kill the two of you..!"

"Are you sure you're willing to kill me Jellal..?" responded the Re-quip mage with a serious expression which made Jellal raised an eyebrow in curiosity "To revive the Black Wizard, you need someone who has the energy to match a Wizard Saint and I highly doubt you want to kill off the only person who has the key to awake him.."

"You're right in that regard my dear Erza, I need a body that is capable of match the Wizard Saints's energy to awaken Zeref but you aren't going to be the one.." responded Jellal with a calm tone towards Erza, who's eyes went slightly wide at hearing his words.. "Son Goku ended up being the perfect vessel to awaken Zeref and now that he's frozen in that spot I'll use that chance to sacrifice him to awaken the Black Wizard from his slumber..! Which means I don't need you anymore and I'm going to make you disappear along with Salamander..!"

"Stop..! Don't do this Jellal..!" exclaimed Goku as he tried to get the blue-haired man's attention meanwhile he was slowly increasing his power level, although he still couldn't move at all which frustrated him to no end..

Meanwhile Natsu who was beginning to regain consciousness, noticed that Erza was in front of him ready to protect him from Jellal's incoming attack which made his eyes go wide in fear as he spoke up tiredly..

"Erza...! Move out of the way..! That attack will kill you.." responded Natsu weakly as he tried to move from where he was but his body wasn't responding currently from all the injuries along with his energies being depleted, despite not registering said pain he was feeling..

"Don't worry Natsu, Goku-kun.. I'll protect the both of you even if it kills me at the end.." said Erza with a soft smile as she accepted her faith of dying against her ex-childhood friend, at least she will do it on her own terms which is saving Natsu and giving Goku enough time to get out of that Time Cage spell..

"Noooo...!" shouted both Saiyan God and Dragon Slayer at the same time with worried expression as the saw Jellal's energy spiking up once again when a golden magic circle appeared in front of him, followed by forming a small black orb which rapidly began to grow in size to the point it was bigger than his Grand Chariot, it also accumulated white star-like lights inside the blast it which made it look like the night sky..

It was far stronger than any technique that Jellal has preformed so far and had enough energy to kill Erza..

"True Heavenly Body Magic: Altairis!" shouted Jellal as he unleashes his ultimate attack towards Erza and Natsu, destroying and pulling everything on it's path thanks to it's gravitational pull. The Saiyan God knew perfectly that the two of them weren't going to survive that blast, so he decided that at this moment he didn't care if people suddenly feel his power level increasing to unimaginable heights, he needed to get out of this frozen time cage..

It was time to increase his Base Form power to 15%, a level of strength that he never thought on using in battle against human mages..

As he began to being enveloped in his white Ki aura which was becoming more stronger than before, Goku began to notice that he slowly beginning to move which meant that as he gets stronger he will be able to move. Not wanting to waste time, Goku was ready to teleport himself as he moved his two fingers to his forehead slowly but surely, as he was about teleport he suddenly felt another presence showing up to the battle but more specifically in front of Erza and Natsu to protect them. When his gaze landed on that presence his eyes went wide in shock, it was none other than Simon who had determine expression and was ready to sacrifice his life to protect his childhood friend..

"No don't..!" shouted Goku as he tried to teleport in front of them to protect them, but it was too late as Simon immediately received the attack head on which caused a massive bright explosion that blinded everyone, followed by powerful shockwave that shook the entire Tower and island along with wind gust that made everyone covered their eyes..

As the smoke began to died down, everyone besides Goku could see what truly happened after and what they saw stunned them to the core, including Jellal who didn't expect that the person that betrayed him ended up sacrificing himself for Erza..

"Simon..!" shouted Goku with concern as he now has full movement of his body and teleports next to Simon's body who was laying down on the floor and began to inspect it, he had multiple bloody third degree burns around his body, a great loss of blood and could barely speak as he was losing energy rapidly.. "No no..! He's losing energy fast..! He can't even eat a Senzu bean in the state he is and I haven't healed a person in this state before, I'm not as proficient as Dende..!"

"Simon..!" yelled out Erza in concern as she made her way to where Simon is and knees down to check on him "Simon please! Stay awake! Simon..!"

"Er... za..." said Simon in low painful tone of voice as he moved his gaze towards Erza who was looking at him with a crying concern expression, then he moved his gaze to the left where Goku was looking at him with a worried expression.. "Goku... san..?"

"Don't speak up Simon..! The more you do the more your doing damage to yourself..!" exclaimed Goku with urgency as he was thinking of a way to try to save him but he couldn't come up with anything currently which it frustrated him..

"Heh... It's fine.. I knew that this would happen..!" responded the eye-patch man as he coughed blood from the effort of speaking to them, thus making them more concerned..

"Why did you do it..?" murmured softly Erza as she looks at him with a tearful expression "Why did you saved me when you had the chance to escape..!?"

"Because... You didn't have to carry.. All those sins to yourself.." responded Simon in between coughs but still doing the effort in talking "I wanted to help you.. Carrying those sins at least once.."

"Please Simon! Don't talk anymore you made your point..! If you keep talking you'll die..!" stated the Re-quip mage in agony as she looks at Goku for help "Goku-kun..! Give a Senzu bean to Simon, he would be able to heal himself if you give him one!"

"I'm sorry Erza-chan, his throat is filled with all the blood Simon is coughing and he doesn't have the capacities to eat and digest one.. I'm sorry.." explained Goku with a sorrowful expression as he felt the guilt and frustration staring to eat him away in the inside, if he only had use more power at the beginning they wouldn't be in this situation..

His Saiyan instincts won him over in this entire conflict against Jellal..

"No...!" simply said Erza in horror as she looks back at Simon with a tearful expression. The eye-patch man knew that at any moment he would pass away so he needed to speak up as soon as possible..

"Goku-san.." spoke up Simon softly towards the Saiyan God as he looks back at him with a concerned expression.. "I know this is selfish.. But, can you take care of my younger sister..? Her name is Kagura.. She's out there in the world looking for me and I would be grateful if you look out for her in my behalf.."

"I will Simon..! I'll look out after your sister..!" exclaimed Goku with a determine expression towards Simon who nodded gratefully, then he slowly moves his gaze towards the Re-quip mage and began to speak up..

"Erza... I'm glad that I was able to save you and give you a second chance to live.. You meant so much to me that I couldn't stand the thought of you dying..." said Simon sincerely as he felt tears coming down from his eyes as his vision began to get blurry "Please live your life without the sins of the past weighting on you..! I love you my scarlet rose and I'll see you again... In the gates of Valhalla..."

"Simon..! Simon..?! Please Simon stay awake..!" said Erza in a distress tone of voice as she was trying to get Simon's attention but nothing was working, the moment he closed his available eye he stopped talking along with not breathing. Goku who was watching all of this new that the worst case scenario just happened and he couldn't do nothing to stop it which frustrated and anger him to no end, all because he didn't use more power from the beginning and now he was paying the consequences..

"SIMONNNNNN!" screamed Erza to the heavens with a tearful expression, not wanting to come to terms of what just happened in front of her despite the evidence being in front of her..

Simon Mikazuchi has just died and passed on the next life..


And cut! Holy shit, this is the longest chapter I've ever wrote ever since I've become a Fanfic writer. I don't remember even writing these long chapters before, not even in the original Golden Fairy chapters were this long and that's something since in the later parts of the story it became longer chapters. I began writing the chapter back in February and now we are almost in the middle of April, at first I tried to get it out at the end of March but with me going on Vacation twice in the last two months it was nearly impossible to have done by then.

And the least thing I wanted was to stall or even make the chapter longer than it is lol..

Well with that out of the way, let's go over some of the changes I made compared to the original..

1. The fight between Erza and Jellal is now longer than the one in original Golden Fairy, it has added dialogue, interactions between Erza and Jellal who have well known history as we see in the Manga, instead of rotating and having her armors destroyed like in her fight with Ikagura in the Manga I've decided it was better she does that in this fight since Ikagura fought Gray..

2. Jellal although not having his full powers with him yet, he was still superior in strength and speed against Erza which show how powerful is in this version of the story..

3. Goku never knew that Jellal's goal was for the Tower of Valhalla to absorb the energy from Etherion, which is why Jellal celebrated that Goku did him a favor by transferring all that energy to the Tower..

4. More conversations between Gray, Lucy and Juvia who barely had anything to say in the original fic..

5. The addition of the Magic Council scene in where they all witnessed a taste of what Goku can truly be capable off when stopped Etherion, too bad the public won't know it yet thanks to Ultear destroying the Magic Council headquarters..

6. Jellal in this story is buffed in the correct way after fusing with Siegrain, I'll say that he's stronger than the Jellal from the Manga version of the Tower of Heaven arc..

7. Also Goku is applied correctly with the power levels compared to the original Golden Fairy. In this story throughout the fight besides getting out of the Time Cage he always used 10% of his power in Base Form, not needing to go beyond that since the situation never called for it. I still find it ridiculous that I was making use 40-50% of his Base Form back in the original Golden Fairy hahaha, I wasn't good with power levels back then..

8. Goku's attitude in this chapter was more aligned with his GT Version plus his Super Manga version, which is why you see a serious but yet somewhat playful throughout the chapter..

9. Jellal's Time Cage technique is similar to Hit's Time Prison in concept but way weaker of course...

Anyways, with that out of the way I want to thank you guys for waiting this much..! Seriously, I didn't meant to make you guys wait this much it's just that the chapter became long and vacation was around the corner. So don't expect chapters to be taking two months long as we are back to our regular schedule.

Also next chapter is the most awaiting moment I've been wanting to write since I've stared the re-write and also you will see some major changes that will make it deviate not only from Manga Fairy Tail, but also the original Golden Fairy. I really wanna highlight how Goku truly has change the world of Earthland but also the Universe he's within..

Thank you everyone once again! Leave a Follow or Favorite if you want to see more and leave a Review of what you think of this chapter..! I'll see you guys next month for the next chapter and the climax of the Arc..!

Ja-ne..
