#rhapsode fights

Bakugou: *Blocking Kamakiri from striking Jirou*

Kamakiri: What?!

Bakugou: You got quick reflexes for a bug, dontcha?

Kamakiri: I gotta retreat like Setsuna said!

Jirou: Bakugou, you...

Bakugou: SHUT UP AND GRAB HIM!

Sato: Right! *Goes to grab Kamakiri, but he jumps back and runs away with Bondo*

Sato: They got away!

Jirou: You... Saved me...

Bakugou: Course I did! We’re a team, and I’m going to be damned if I let a single one of you get captured!

Sero: That’s a surprise...

*cut away*

Tokage: Did Bakugou go and protect someone? He didn’t seem like that kind of person during the sports festival and train camp... No matter, I gotta put faith in this strategy, we have to wear class 1-A down and pick them off. Come on, guys, I know you can do this!

*cut away*

Kamakiri: Huh, I wasn’t expecting that! Thought I could’ve picked off that earphone girl like she was nothin’!

Bondo: I’m-I’m sorry if I did bad...

Kamakiri: Don’t start cryin’ on me! We just gotta wear them out like Setsuna said!

Bondo: O-okay...

Kamakiri: You say here and get ready for another ambush, I’ll tell Yosetsu about this!

*cut away*

Monoma: How?! How did he change his character so quickly?!

Kirishima: Never underestimate Bakugou!

Kaminari: That dude will keep improving himself in anyway to become the next Number 1 Hero!

Monoma: Well... Setsuna is not to be underestimated! Plus, they couldn’t even catch Kamakiri or Bondo! So we’ll see who folds first.

*cut back*

Team Bakugou: *running in hot pursuit of Kamakiri and Bondo*

Sero: Hey, Bakugou! You sure these things you gave us will work?

Bakugou: Huh? I spent so much time on those that there’s no way a shit like you could mess them up!

Sato: Well, mind if I ask what this new attitude is all about?

Bakugou: Do I have to explain this?! Fuck! Look its simple, if you’re in trouble I’m going to save you shits! And if I’m in trouble then you shits can save me!

Jirou: Guys, I heard something!

*Tokage’s body parts begin to wriggle away under them*

Bakugou: That lizard bitch must be underestimating me! *fires himself into the air*

Awase: *appears from behind a pillar and pops opens his bag*

*cuts away*

Deku: He hid his presence so well!

*cuts back*

Awase: Construction-Done-Kwik: Weldcraft! *Quickly uses multiple interconnecting metal logs to bind Bakugou up*

*flash back*

Kamakiri: And that’s the short of it!

Awase: No way!

Kamakiri: Setsuna said to make it back to her and protect her from where she activated her quirk. So you and Bondo take them out when they get in close!

*back to the present*

Awase: Looks like you’re not going to be using your explosions anymore!

Sato: LET HIM GO!

*As Sato reaches for his utility belt for his sugar, Bondo from up on a higher girder launches a rain of glue on Sato, sticking him in place*

Bondo: I got them! A-a-again...

Awase: Good work, Bondo! *Opens up his bag and with the remaining metal logs, he makes a bo staff*  In a one-on-one fight, I’m nothing against a power quirk user like Sato or Bakugou, but now that they’re gone... TIME TO END THIS!

*Awase charges at Jirou and Sero and strikes Sero in his helmet and then the side of his abdomen knocking him down*

Jirou: *Extends her Jacks and tries to whip Awase*

Awase: *blocks Jirou’s jacks with his make shift bo staff*

Jirou: He’s got good all-around use of melee weapons like Momo...

*Awase lunges forward with his bo staff, but Jirou manages to cock her head to the right and dodge to end of the the bo staff*

Jirou: Got him! *Extending her right earphone jack, she is able to strike off Awase’s bag from his belt*

Awase: *Still capabilities on Jirou’s moment of openness and swings around his bo staff to strike Jirou’s right side of her face*

Jirou: *Reels back*

Awase: *Splits his bo staff in half by un-welding the center and using the two halfs he’s made, brings the ends of the halves to his shoulder pads and welds them together. Resulting in two staves with sharp ends to strike with* Don’t underestimate me, my whole costume is my support tool!

Jirou: Annoying... *Begins to charge at Awase*

Bakugou: LOOK OUT, DUMBASS!

Jirou: *Jumps out of the way as Bondo launches another glue rain*

Bondo: Aww... I missed...

*Jirou barely has time to to react as Awase goes back on the offensive and starts thrusting his sharp-ended staves at Jirou’s face. Jirou manages to dodge each and whip Awase with one her jacks.*

Awase: *Staggers back slightly from the strike*

Jirou: *Uses her second jack to bind Awase’s left arm by wrapping around it and gets in close to disarm his right hand.*

Awase: *As Jirou goes to grabs his arm, he uses his right arm to elbow Jirou in the face, braking free of her binding and jumping back for distance*

*Cut away*

Vlad: Looks like we got ourselves a good ol’ fashioned hero brawl! While Class 1-A shows good skill, her little earlobes aren’t going to be enough against the fully armed Awase!

Mina: Just you wait, those little earlobes will be spanking that welder boy’s behind!

*Cut back*

Awase: HAAA! *lifts both his staves above his head and brings them down on Jirou*

Jirou: *Tries to block both with her forearms and her jacks, and while able to hold them off, can feel the pressure of them pushing down on her*

Awase: Looks like I’ll e taking you to jail! Huh-?! *Arms begin to be pulled back as he starts lifting his staves away from Jirou*

*Awase looks behind his to see Sero having started pulling him backwards after recovering from his attack*

Awase: *Lets go of his weapons as Jirou readies to whip him again and he jumps away from them*

Sero: *throws away Awase’s staves and rushes at him, looking like he’s winding up for a punch* Time to turn the tide!

Awase: No problem, I’ll just turn my armor in a face plate! *welds the center piece of his armor to his face* Just try and break through this!

Sero: *Does not actually punch to armor, rather reveals his wind up was a bluff as instead of punching, he shoots tape out at Awase and attaches it to his face plate* Jirou, little help?

Jirou: *smiles and wraps her Jacks around Awase from behind and hurls him*

Sero: *Utilizing the extra force, begins to spin Awase around* This is a lot easier with Uraraka’s gravity...

*Sero slams Awase face first into a girder, but Awase simply stands up and removes the  face plate*

Awase: FELT NOTHING! *Looks to see two speakers on his left and right sides

Jirou: *Has her jacks plugged inside the speakers* Heartbeat Surround! *Fires off a large sound wave around Awase that blasts him in into unconsciousness with its sound*

Awase: Bluu... *collapses and Sero begins to start wrapping him up in tape*

Bondo: AHH! Awase?!

Jirou: *direct her speakers at Bakugou and Sato in Bondo’s glue and releases a strong enough sound wave to break them out without incapacitating them.*

Bakugou: It’s about damn time!

Sato: Good one, Jirou!

Sero: Bakugou, let me help you with Bondo!

Bakugou: FINALLY!

*Bakugou blast off into the air to the higher level where Bondo is*

Bondo: Glue Squall! *Fires a massive jet of glue at Bakugou, but misses as it seems Bakugou is actually pulling back in mid air to stay out off the glue’s reach* Wha?

Bakugou: *Has Sero’s tape attached to his back to pull him as he’s blasting himself through the air* Now your gonna get yours! *Forming his hand into a circle and places it on his other palm* AP SHOT: Auto-cannon!! *Rapidly fires out concentrated blasts of his explosion that head right for Bondo and his surrounding area*

Bondo: I-I know what to do! Super move, Glue Geyser! *Looks up toward the sky and begins to fire high pressured glue from his face. The glue’s reach is minimum, but the top of the geyser begins to form a hardened film on it*

*The geyser’s film protects bondo from the AP: shot*

*cut away*

Vlad: What a move! Cancelling out one super move with another, have you ever seen such ingenuity?

Mina: It’s not special! Besides, the more shots Bakugou does at ounce, the weaker they are! That glue isn’t special!

*cuts back*

Bondo: *jumps down from the higher field* Okay, so if Awase has been beaten, then I fall back and help Kamakiri and Tokage prepare for another ambush!

Sato: Did you forget about me!

Bondo: Glue Squall! *Fires another jet of glue, but Sato is pulled away by tape attached to his back* Not again!

Sero: Looks like I know how far your glue reach is!

Sato: *pulled towards a girder and kicks off the side of it to get close to Bondo* Let me show this off to you! *downs a container of sugar* Sugar Rush! *Releases a flurry of fists that strike Bondo repeatedly*

*cuts away*

Kirishima: Alright! Sato learned how to only take in sugar when he was in close enough so in his berserk mode he wouldn’t have a problem on who to strike because its so closed quarters!

Kaminari: Talk about not letting the power go to waste!

Monoma: Grrr...

*cuts back*

Bondo: *Lands battered and bruised on the field with a thud*

Sato: Phew... *catching breath* I’m going to take this guy back to the jail while I can, you guys go ahead!

Jirou: We’ll leave Awase here. Looks like he’s been beat.

Bakugou: *Landing back on the field* Alright, lets go!

Sero & Jirou: Right!

*cut away*

Tokage: Damn... Damn... I built this plan on Bakugou’s arrogance. He’d be to blinded by his own ego and would wear his team down for us. The hit and run style of fighting would be great for a disjointed team, but no, they’re in sync. And in a confrontation, one of us is not enough to handle all four. Except maybe...

Kamakiri: Hey, Setsuna! I’m back!

Tokage: Hey, Togaru.

Kamakiri: What’s up with the others?

Tokage: I think... I think we may have lost this one.

Kamakiri: What?! There’s no way!

Tokage: Our other teammates just went down and their following my part here, we’re probably gonna lose. *Nervous grin* Sorry I let you guys down, it was my strategy and I take full responsibility for our failure.*

Kamakiri: Failure?! We’re still in this! Are you throwin’ in the towel when the match isn’t even over! Your the awesome recommendation student, you should know what do do if your plan starts falling apart!

Tokage: Looks like he’s all riled up. Just get ready!

Kamakiri: Hmm?

Bakugou: Hey, bug...

Kamakiri: You’re gonna regret coming here, nitro ass...

*cut away*

Jirou: *tracking Tokage* Why Aren’t we helping Bakugou?

Sero: He said we gotta class 1-B high and low. He’s taking care of Kamakiri and we’ll have to find a way to get Tokage!

Jirou: Hm?

*Tokage’s body pieces soon fly out from under the two class 1-A kids and attack them*

Sero: Damn, they really are like mosquitoes! *quickly notices the pieces beginning to move away slightly*

*cut away*

Tokage: Looks like they weren’t ready for a split up!

*cut away*

*Kamakiri and Bakugou are trading blows, however it seems that no one has taken any damage*

Bakugou: *swings in, but is blocked by another blade growing out of Kamakiri*

*cut away*

Deku: Unbelievable... Kacchan’s explosions aren’t doing anything.

Kendou: That’s cause Kamakiri’s blades aren’t just sharp, but they’re incredibly durable! Seems bakugou knows this and has just been parrying Kamakiri’s attacks.

*cuts back*

Kamakiri: *thrusts forward, but Bakugou dodges and grabs that outstretched arm*

Bakugou: Let me take you for a ride! *Outstretch one hand and starts releasing blast of explosions, but they don’t seem to be moving.*

Kamakiri: Keh...! *Grows out blades from his biceps on his grabbed arm enough to puncture Bakugou’s hand and make him let go.* That won’t work on me! *Lifts up his leg to reveal he grew blades on the soles of his feet*

Bakugou: *dodges the kick quick enough to only get cut on the chin* So the bug has a few tricks...

Kamakiri: Tricks? HA! My blade are more than you can ever imagine, in a fight straight up brawl, I’m a demigod compared to you!

Bakugou: Oh yeah, we’ll see about that you shit! *Runs up to Kamakiri*

*Bakugou launches himself with his explosion to jump over Kamakiri. The while Above him He fires a Single AP Shot*

Kamakiri: *Crosses his blades to protect himself from the shot, but is pushed back by the sheer force so he quickly grows blades on his heels*

*Kamakiri then uncrosses his blades as Bakugou is running up to him.. Kamakiri quickly lifts his knee up and grow a blade from his knee cap to block Bakugou’s attack.*

Kamakiri: *Retracts his first blades on his arms and Grows new ones that are angled to skewer Bakugou.*

Bakugou: *launches himself back to avoid it, but finds his back against a girder.* Who the fuck put this here?!

Kamakiri: *Crosses his blades into a cross shape* No where to run! *Dashes towards Bakugou and then grows long horizontal blades on his feet that act similar to skates that help pick up more speed* Super Move, Sword Blitz Press!

*Bakugou readies himself as Kamakiri’s crossed blades collides into Bakugou and push him back. Bakugou manages to hold back some of it, but the attack crushes his back against the girder*

Kamakiri: *Returns his feet to normal* You don’t know what you got yourself into, Mr. first place at the sports festival! Everyone saw what you could do. What your power was! Don’t think for a second some of us haven’t figured out ways to surpass you!

Bakugou: I got news for you... *Opens up his palm that’s in his and Kamakiri’s face* That isn’t going to happen! I. Don’t. Lose! Zero-Distance Explosion!

*With a bright flash Kamakiri is blinded and pushed back with minor blast burns on his face, but so does Bakugou.*

Bakugou: *Grabs onto Kamakiri’s right fang* I made two mistakes when I grabbed you. I grabbed the wrong place and I didn’t put enough force behind that throw! Explode-A-Pult!

*Using his free hand, Bakugou releases a massive explosion that propels him in a spinning motion that once enough momentum is gained, lets go of Kamakiri and throws him into a nearby wall.*

Kamakiri: Gack!

*cut away*

Sato: *Ready to left the still unconscious Awase* Okay, Awase, I got you. No need to worry, I won’t drop you *Notices the strength of Bakugou’s Explode-A-Pult* Looks like They need some help. Nah, Bakugou doesn’t need- *remembers that Bakugou says that when he needs it, his teammates can save him to*

Sato: *Grabbing a sugar container off his belt* It was in that direction, yeah? *Downs the sugar and enter a sugar rush* Super Move Sugar Rush Express!

*Sato begins to run incredibly fast towards the battlefield*

*cut away*

Jirou: Some of those pieces are still crawling, but they seem to be retreating to- *struck by another Tokage piece*

Sero: This quirk... What we know Tokage can split it up into 50 pieces and manipulate them, but what if they have a limit? Can you focus on grabbing just one?

Jirou: Huh?

Sero: *Holding a grenade* I have a plan.

*cut away*

Bakugou: *looks at his stabbed arm* And stay down-Hm?!

Kamakiri: *starts lifting himself up* ...Gah ha.. *Rips off his cloak to reveal that he grew a ton of crossing blades on his back that acted as a shield when getting throwing into the wall* ...I told you... You can’t beat me in a straight up brawl... Exo-Sword!

*cut away*

Manga: Whoa whoa whoa! You see that Bakugou was all like, ‘BOOM BOOM,’ but Kaminari went ‘SHING!’ And is now all like, ‘you what mate?’

Tetsutetsu: I’d still say my durability is stronger.

*cuts back*

Kamakiri: *grows blades on his arms again* YAAAAA!

*They return to their previous exchange at the beginning of the fight with Bakugou only parrying, but with his cut arm, the excretion of the explosions is catching up and the pain is traveling up Bakugou’s arm.*

Kamakiri: Looks like our plan still worked! You’re all alone, and your damage is catching up with you!

Bakugou: Who said I was alone?

Kamakiri: *cocks an eyebrow*

Sato: *comes charging in and decks Kamakiri right in the face as he is occupied with Bakugou* Sugar Rush Express!

Kamakiri: *disoriented and knocked off balance*

Bakugou: Let me finish this! *Punches Kamakiri while he’s disoriented in a big boom that knocks Kamakiri to the ground*

Kamakiri: *on the ground* You... Can’t... Beat... Me...

Bakugou: We just did, bug...

*cut away*

Tokage: No no no no no. Not Togaru. But I almost have all my parts back, I cn hit them with a surprise attack when their all in one place and wake up Togaru and Yosetsu too. 

Tokage: *looks down* And that’s the last of my parts

*on one of the piece appears to be a gernade stuck to it with tape*

Tokage: What?!

*Flashback*

Bakugou: Here, take these. *throws grenades* They aren’t to powerful, but they’ll work. *starts to run after Kamakiri and Bondo*

Team Bakugou: *All running in hot pursuit of Kamakiri and Bondo*

Sero: Hey, Bakugou! You sure these things you gave us will work?

Bakugou: Huh? I spent so much time on those that there’s no way a shit like you could mess them up! 

*present*

Sero: This is just my theory, but I think Tokage’s ability isn’t inexhaustible. Afterall, its the same as Yaoyorozu. She need to replenish herself before she can use her quirk. So Tokage needs all the pieces back to her to activate her quirk in full again.

*small explosion happens*

Tokage: Close call! *notices Someone behind her*

Sero: So when we get her body part back to here, you use your Jack’s range to finally nail her down!

Jirou: *Throwing out her speakers* No where to run or split yourself up to! Heartbeat Surround!

Tokage: *Attacked by a massive sound wave that pelts against her*

*Cut Away*

Sato: Wow, this guy must’ve been good to leave that many scratches on you, Bakugou. *Kamakiri slingged over his shoulder*

Bakugou: Hmph...

Sato: And you let me help you take him down! Can’t believe how much you’ve changed, dude!

Bakugou: Changed?

Tokage: *On the ground, dazed by Jirou*

Bakugou: My goal is the same as its always been. To be the number1 hero, and nothing it holding me back!

Magic

Thoughts

*Open inside the Fairy Tail guild hall after Jacob used Transport*

Jacob: That should take care of all the rabble. Now time to acquire Fairy Heart…

*Lucy suddenly appears out of nowhere and delivers a drop kick to the back of Jacob’s head, but Jacob quickly holds his arm up to block the incoming kick*

Jacob: *Blocking the kick with his elbow and holding back the kick* Well… quite the strong kick you have. Strength enhancement magic?

Lucy: Star Dress: Taurus Form!

*The struggle ends when Lucy is able to push Jacob away with what little power from the kick she has left*

Lucy: *Lands safety on the floor*

Jacob: *Regains his bearings from being pushed back* So there’s still one left?

Happy: Two left!

Lucy: Listen here, I’m Fairy Tail’s resident celestial spirit mage and I’m not letting you take Fairy Heart!

Jacob: *Smirks* Kids these days don’t have any respect for their elders…

Happy: *Floating down to the battle area* Alright Lucy, take him down!

Lucy: *Throws a few punches, but Jacob dodges them easily*

Jacob: That your best?

Lucy: *Tries to kick him, but Jacob grabs her leg*

Jacob: Your strength is impressive, but your technique is leagues below mine! *Gives a strong strike to her face and lets go of Lucy’s leg*

Lucy: *Tumbles backwards, but is able to regain her bearings*

Jacob: See, that’s the real difference between warriors that decides who wins battles, experience and strategy!

Happy: What he’s prattling on about?

Jacob: I can tell by your form that you only recently learned how to grapple. While I’m pretty shocked that you managed to be above average, it still means nothing against a man who’s been fighting for years!

Lucy: Well, guess I’ll just have to step it up! *Tries to drop kick Jacob*

Jacob: *Jumps up and avoids the kick*

Lucy: *Quickly recovering from missing Jacob, grabs her whip and uses it to wrap around Jacob’s ankle*

*Using the strength from her star dress, Lucy pull the whip down and slams Jacob into the ground*

Jacob: *Quickly pulls a knife out of his jacket and cuts the tip of the whip off, freeing his leg* Did you think that was gonna trip me up?!

Lucy: No. Based on your experience I’m sure you’d be able to break free.

Jacob: *smiles*

Lucy: But that doesn’t mean you’re one step ahead of me!

Jacob: ?

*Suddenly, from the upper level of the guild Taurus jumps down, aimed at Jacob*

Taurus: Tension Max! *Swings his axe downwards at Jacob*

*Jacob ducks out of the to avoid getting cut in half, but the force of the axe swing is so immense, it creates enough of a shockwave that both does damage to Jacob, and blows him into a few tables and chairs*

Jacob: *Trying to get up*

Happy: Lucy’s plan worked!

*Flashback*

*Lucy and Happy are stepping out of Horologium*

Lucy: Horologium, why did you summon yourself?

Horologium: Well as you know, young mistress, my duty is to always appear just in the nick of time.

Lucy: Could you be more specific?

Horologium: I could not allow you to be hit by that wave of spacial magic and be taken to who knows where.

Happy: Wave of Spacial Magic?

Lucy: What happened to the guild?!

Horologium: They most likely have been transported out of the guild hall with the wave of spatial magic originating from a single mage.

Happy: Wow, someone teleported the entire guild with one move, that’s a lot of magic. You think that Marin guy did it?

Lucy: There’s no way he could’ve gotten out of the magic restraining cuffs… One person… Immense magic… It’s got to be one of those Spriggans!

Happy: Then lets go kick their butt!

Lucy: No… Look at what Zeref could do to Natsu, as well as what Brandish did to Caracole Island, we can’t be reckless about this!

Happy: Then what do we do?

Lucy: *Holds up Taurus’s key* I’ve got an idea~

*Back in the present*

Happy: Lucy acting as a distraction followed up by Taurus’s surprise attack. This guy didn’t even see it coming!

Jacob: *Regaining his bearings*

Taurus: Looks like you didn’t Moo-ve out of the way fast enough! Did I do good Lucy-san?

Lucy: Yeah! Now let’s take this guy down quick!

Jacob: Y'know… I wanted to end this quick. I already wasted a lot of magic using that transport. But I guess I’ll have to show my fangs… *Extends his right arm out to his side, while making a fist. Then briefly clenches his fist, then stops. He then extends his right arm out in front of him*

*Suddenly Lucy and Taurus are caught in an explosion*

Lucy: What the?!

Taurus: Lucy-san! *Suddenly an explosion comes from his chest*

Lucy: *Regains her bearings*

Happy: He’s an assassin, his attacks must be invisible, but other than air space, what kind of magic is transparent?

Lucy: *Is hit by another invisible attack*

Taurus: Lucy-san! *runs to Lucy*

Jacob: Hold still, you little brat…

Taurus: *Jumps over Lucy’s body shielding her from another blast*

Lucy: T-Taurus…

Taurus: Ya think a simple attack like that is going knock me down?!

Jacob: *Starts unleashing several explosions on Taurus*

Taurus: Lucy… I don’t know how long I can last… Think of a way to beat this creep… *fades away to the celestial spirit realm*

Lucy: *Watches Taurus fade*

Jacob: Now that the bull is out of the way-huh?

Lucy: *Holding two keys up* Open gate of the giant crab and gate of the maiden! *Summons Cancer and Virgo*

Cancer: Need our assistance, shrimp!

Virgo: What’s your request, mistress?

Lucy: Virgo, I’m going to need you to do what you do best!

Virgo: Be punished!

Lucy: The other thing, you’re good at!

Virgo: Oh… But this floor-

Lucy: I know! *Changes into Cancer Star Dress* Cancer, your with me!

Cancer: Heh, let’s take a little off the top, shrimp!

Jacob: More of this spirit stuff, huh? *Pulls out two knives from his jacket and holds one in each hand*

Lucy: Let’s go! *Charges at Jacob and swings one of her scissor swords at Jacob*

Jacob: *stops to swing by blocking with both of his knives*

Cancer: *Appears behind Jacob and swings outwards at Jacob’s neck*

Jacob: *Breaks his block with Lucy so he can duck underneath Cancer’s swing, then slides back a bit and elbows Cancer in the abdomen*

Cancer: *Falls to one knee*

Jacob: *Standing above Cancer, swings one of his knives downwards at Cancer*

Cancer: *Blocks the knife with one of his scissors*

Lucy: *Runs up and gives a quick slash to Jacob’s side*

Jacob: *Breaks away from Cancer by jumping back*

Cancer: *Stands up and thrusts his scissors at Jacob*

Jacob: *Tries to block against the Scissors, but when doing so both of his knives are caught between the blades of Cancer’s scissors*

Cancer: *Little twinkle comes off his sunglasses* Snip… *with his scissors, he cuts the blades off the knives*

Jacob: *Pulls back and sees Lucy heading at him. He throws what’s left of each of his knives at her*

Lucy: *Bats them away with her scissor swords*

Cancer: How ‘bout a clean shave?! *Thrusts his scissor forward*

Jacob: *Swings his left arm outwards*

Cancer: *Suddenly has a massive and deep cut across his torso*

Happy: What was that?!

Lucy: Cancer!

Cancer: This… ain’t right… shrimp… *fades to the celestial realm*

Jacob: *Holds his right arm out, and hits Lucy with another invisible attack*

Lucy: *Regains her bearings, but then digs her scissor blades into the wall*

Jacob: What the…? *Notices that floor has a ton of holes in it* Where did those-That maid!

*Suddenly the entire wooden floor breaks underneath Jacob and he falls to the basement floor*

Lucy: *Avoided falling by holding on to her swords in the wall* Happy, take me down!

Happy: Aye, sir!

Jacob: *Trying to stand up. Veins bulging from his head* Damn you… What do you think this is, a playground fight?!

Virgo: *Suddenly pops out of the ground in front of Jacob and delivers a strong uppercut that knocks him slightly off the ground*

Jacob: *Falls on his back*

*Lucy and Happy arrive*

Lucy: Good job!

Virgo: Do I get punished?

Lucy: The fight isn’t over yet! Open gate of the lion! *Summons Loke*

Loke: You rang~

Jacob: *Back on his feet*

Lucy: Loke, I’m going to need you to get in and do some damage, but his attacks are invisible.

Loke: Invisible? Hmm… Nothing hides from the light of Regulus!

Jacob: Alright kid… *Holds up his hands in boxing-like fashion* Let’s go!

Loke: *Runs up and gives Jacob a quick punch, but Jacob blocks with his right elbow*

Jacob: *Swings his left arm outwards and gives a small cut across Loke’s right abdominal*

Loke: *Holds his ground and delivers a Regulus infused uppercut to Jacob’s chin*

Jacob: *Knocked back*

Loke: *Charges at Jacob*

Jacob: *Swings his left arm outwards at Loke in a chop-like motion*

Loke: *ducks under the chop and then delivers a Regulus punch to Jacob’s abdomen*

Jacob: *hunches over in pain*

Loke: *Gives Jacob a left hook across his face*

Jacob: *Is able to regain his bearings and holds his right arm out at Loke*

Lucy: Oh no… *Changes into her Virgo star dress*

Loke: *Knocked back by a sudden explosion*

Jacob: Heh, gotcha… *Tries to run at Loke, but finds that his leg was grabbed by Lucy and Virgo who appeared out of holes* Get off!

Loke: *Regains his bearings* Heh, thanks Lucy… *Runs up and gives Jacob a strong enough Regulus strike that sends Jacob flying and smacking into a wall*

Jacob: *Trying to regain his bearings*

Virgo: Spica Hole! *creates a large pit underneath Jacob which he falls into*

Jacob: *Getting out of the hole with his veins bulging even more* You shitty brats… *holds his right arm out in front of him*

Lucy: Loke, his attack follows where his arm is pointing at!

Loke: *Jumps up and dodges a sudden explosion*

Jacob: *Fully regained his bearings*

*As Loke comes at Jacob with his fist coated in light, but Jacob is ready for him and engages in a cross counter*

Loke: *While in the cross counter, notices his light is causing something on Jacob’s left arm to be covered in shadows* What the..?

Jacob: *Using his right arm, creates an explosion on Loke’s abdomen, which blasts Loke back*

Lucy: Loke!

Loke: *On his knee*

Virgo: Spica Hole!

Jacob: *A pitfall appears under him, but he jumps out of the way before it’s fully formed. While jumping, he holds his right arm out in front of him and hits Virgo with an explosion*

Virgo: Looks like… I was punished… *fades away*

Jacob: Time to finish this lion… *smiles*

Loke: This power…

Jacob: *Swings his arm down in a chop-like fashion*

Loke: *has a small flashback to when Lucy talks about how where his arm points is where an explosion occurs, as well as a Flashback to his cross counter and the light of regulus made this shadow on Jacob’s arm appear* That’s it! *Stops Jacob’s chop by grabbing on to something in front of Jacob’s hand*

Jacob: *shocked*

Happy: He stopped his attack, but how?! He’s not stopping his hand, but it isn’t moving. How’s he even blocking it!?

Loke: Time to show everyone your 'magic’… *With a strong pull he swings his arm outwards. In his hand appears a strange gauntlet looking object with a blade attached to it. He then throws it on the ground*

Happy: What the-?!

Lucy: I know those things! Aries! *summons Aries*

Jacob: *In a panic, jumps back and holds his right arm out*

Lucy: Hit him with all the wool you can!

Aries: 100% Fluffy fluffy wool! *Sends forth a massive flurry of pink wool that catches Jacob in it*

Jacob: *Struggling inside the wool*

Lucy: *Runs up to Loke* Are you okay?

Loke: Heh, I wouldn’t be the leader of the Zodiac if I couldn’t take a beating. But… It’s nice to have you by my side…

Jacob: *Breaks free of the wool* DIE! *suddenly an explosion appears above his arm* Damnit!

*Smoke also begins to pour out above Jacob’s arm until another gauntlet-like apparatus, only this one has a gun barrel on it*

Happy: He had a cannon strapped to him?!

Lucy: So those are your “fangs”...

Jacob: Guess the cat’s out of the bag…

Lucy: Those tools you have… They’re high-grade compact weaponry!

Happy: How do you know what they are?!

Lucy: Back when I worked for sorcerer weekly, I had to do an article on stuff like this. Experimental weapons made to be taken into combat, but light weight. The problem is, due to their compact nature, if one gear or trigger is messed with they become completely ineffectual. Or in this case, blow up in your face.

Happy: The wool must’ve messed it up!

Loke: He was able to hide it because his real magic is invisibility!

Jacob: Hmm *removes the gauntlet* Transport takes up a lot of magic, especially when it’s teleporting a bunch of people. To compensate and preserve my magic, I go into combat with these invisible weapons, to offset my opponent.

Loke: *standing up* Guess your out of options!

Jacob: *Grins* Who said I’m out of options? You kids have suffered way more damage than I have, and if you forget… *starts to turn invisible* I still have my magic… *fully disappears*

Happy: He disappeared!

Aries: Where could he have gone?

Jacob: *becomes visible behind Aries and cuts her across the back with a knife*

Aries: *fades away*

Lucy & Loke: Aries!

Jacob: *disappears*

*Lucy, Happy, and Loke are all on guard, but then the discarded gauntlet with the blade on it starts to rise. The gauntlet is hurled Lucy.*

Happy: Lucy, look out!

Lucy: *Changes into Aries Star Dress and by making a wall of wool, stops the gauntlet*

Jacob: * While invisible, cuts Lucy across the abdomen*

Lucy: *Is suddenly pushed to the ground*

Jacob: *Becomes visible and shows that he has his foot on top of Lucy’s head, then turns to look at Loke* Heh… What did ya say about me being out of options? *Smirks*

Loke: *Veins bulge* Lucy! *Tries to punch Jacob, but he turns invisible, avoiding the attack*

Loke: *gets struck by an ivisible punch* Damnit… His magic… *Small Flashback to seeing the shadow object on his arms* That’s it! Lucy, get ready!

Lucy: Huh?

Loke: Lion’s Brilliance! *bright light begins to radiate off of his body* Your powers are invisibility, not transparency! Which means you can still cast a shadow!

Jacob: *His shadow appears on the wall as well as a vague shape outlined by the shadows*

Lucy: I see him!*Changes into her Leo star dress* Regulus Lucy Kick! *With a light infused kick, she delivers a powerful blow to Jacob’s face*

Jacob: *Becomes fully visible and shows that he now has a bloody nose*

Lucy: Charges in for another kick, but Jacob grabs her foot in his hand* Didn’t I tell you at the start of this fight? When it comes to hand-to-hand combat you can’t best me!

Loke: *light fades* But I can…

Jacob: *Let’s go of Lucy’s foot and becomes invisible*

Loke: It’s no use! *Light begins to radiate off his body and reveal where Jacob is* Here’s for all my guild mates you sealed away and for all of my fellow spirits you brutalized… *Fists begin to glow with Regulus light* Regulus Gatling Impact! * attacks with a barrage of rapid punches and then finishes up with a even stronger punch that blows away Jacob*

Jacob: *Becomes visible, looking very disheveled and struggling to fully stand up. Covered in blood and bruises* You…

Lucy: It’s over, give up!

Jacob: *Puts his hands up in front of him* I don’t care anymore if I’ll have used up all my magic, but I’m sick of you little brats making a monkey out of a Spriggan like me! Transport!

Happy: Max speed!

Jacob: *In the motion of clapping his hands together, Happy flies in between it stopping him from fully clapping* A cat!

Happy: Heh heh…

Jacob: *Throws Happy on the ground but looks up and notices Lucy and Loke with each of them holding a hand out and light engulfing them*

Lucy & Loke: Regulus Dual Impact! *They send to lion heads composed of regulus light at Jacob, One taking the form of a male lion with a mane and the other taking the shape of a female lion without a mane*

Jacob: *Is hit by the dual impact and blasted into a wall so hard that he cracks it. His body now having small streams of smoke coming off him* So… Bright… *Passes out*

*The whole guild suddenly reappears*

Cana: We’re back!

Makarov: What happened to the guild hall!

Lucy: Thanks Loke…

Loke: Hey this is my war too. There’s no way I’d want you guys to fight it alone…

Lucy: *Smiles*

Thoughts

Magic

Cobra: Where the hell are we going?

Meredy: That Abyss Horn member said that ‘Avatar’ is running the underworld now. We should start investigating.

Angel: Boring~

Jellal: …

Midnight: He hasn’t been talking much…

Hoteye: Perhaps the last couple days are catching up to him?

*The group stops walking when they see a figure approach*

Laxus: Oh hey. It’s the other Mystogan.

Jellal: Laxus Dreyar!? What are you doing here?

Laxus: I was going back to Blue Pegasus. I finished a mission I was given.

Jellal: Oh? It’s good to know your still doing guild work after Fairy Tail’s disband.

Laxus: Well… The jobs at Blue Pegasus are a little too easy for my liking. I thought I’d at least get some training in, but this wasn’t much work. Anyway, see ya… *Starts to walk past Jellal*

Jellal: Wait!

Laxus: Hmm?

Jellal: I wanted to ask… If you would fight me!

Laxus: Where’s this coming from?

Jellal: Everyday I wake up reminding myself that I made the choice to destroy Zeref. It hasn’t changed, but as I see the world around me change, I can only wonder if I’m strong enough to defeat Zeref as I am.

Laxus: So you wanna fight to see how strong you are? Well… *gets close to Jellal and begins to stare him down* Your in luck.

Jellal: ?

Laxus: I’ve been waiting for real challenge. Back when Tartaros was destroying the world, all I did was lay in bed. Now is my time to become stronger, strong enough so that never happens again!

Jellal: Well then…

Midnight: We should probably take cover.

*Crime Sociere moves away from the two combatants*

Laxus: So, you want the first punch?

Jellal: No. As a winner of the Grand Magic Games, you deserve the first blow.

Laxus: *Smirks* *Delivers a lightning charged punch to Jellal*

Jellal: *Knocked back and not able to quickly regain his bearings*

Laxus: *Takes advantage of the offset Jellal and kicks him in the face with a lightning coated foot*

*The kick by Laxus caused Jellal to be knocked back hard enough that he slide across the ground*

Jellal: *on his hands and knees*

Cobra: Did that lightning guy just put Jellal down with 2 punches?!

Meredy: No, Jellal isn’t finished that easily!

Jellal: *Crouching* Heh… Knew I shouldn’t have expected any less from someone of your caliber. *Removes his cloak* But it’s my turn now… *Engulfed in bright yellow light* Meteor!

*At incredible speed, Jellal flies at Laxus and gives him a strong punch to the face. This knocks back Laxus who quickly regains his bearings and begins to let lightning crackle around his fist as Jellal heads right towards him.*

Laxus: *Tries to punch the oncoming Jellal*

Jellal: *Using the speed granted to him by Meteor, he pulls back fast enough to dodge Laxus’s punch. Then he gives Laxus a strong punch across the face*

Laxus: *Knocked back*

*Before Laxus can fully recover, Jellal speedily double punches Laxus in his lower abdomen and solar plexus which pushes Laxus back a good distance.*

Jellal: *Creates a large ball of light at the tips of his extended index and middle finger, and in a swiping motion, launches the ball at Laxus*

Laxus: *Quickly gets into a blocking stance and once the ball of magic hits him head on he deflects it*

Racer: Holy crap, Jellal’s relentless!

Angel: But that blond guy still took it all and is still standing!

Laxus: Hey… That was pretty good…

Jellal: *Smirks*

Laxus: And that little magic you used to knock me around was cute. Too bad I’ve got my own… *uses Lightning Body to increase his speed and give Jellal an uppercut at extreme speed*

Jellal: *knocked into air*

Laxus: *Using the speed of his Lightning Body, jumps into the air and punches Jellal back down to the earth*

*Once Jellal hits the ground, Laxus goes in for another punch, but Jellal uses Meteor to increase his speed and get out of the way of the punch, as well as creating enough distance between the two fighters*

Jellal: *Hold his arm out in front of him and fires a beam of light at at Laxus*

Laxus: *Quickly extends his arm and releases a bolt of lightning at Jellal*

*The beam of light and the lightning bolt clash, canceling the other out*

Jellal: The real fight starts here…

*The two begin to emit their magical energy, Jellal glowing bright yellow and Laxus engulfed in lightning. They then charge at each other, Jellal using Meteor and Laxus using Lightning Body, engaging in close quarters combat.*

Racer: Damn, their fast!

*The two mainly throw a steady barrage of punches, but are mainly focused on light damage exchange*

Jellal: *Throws a stronger punch which pushes back Laxus and breaks their close quarters combat* *Flies at Laxus*

Laxus: *Quickly regains his bearings and smiling at the incoming Jellal*

Jellal: *Gets in front of Laxus, but lightning comes up from the ground right under Jellal and blasts him into the air*

Laxus: *Using Lightning Body, jumps up to Jellal and locks his hands together in a tight fist and then swings them down onto Jellal* Lightning Dragon’s Jaw!

Jellal: *smashes into the ground and creating a destructive circular wave*

Meredy: Jellal!

Laxus: *Lands safety on the ground and raises a clenched fist in the air* “Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, plunge from the heavens and reap destruction!”

Jellal: *Gets up*

Laxus: Raging Bolt!

*A large bolt of lightning descend upon Jellal, but Jellal quickly creates a dome with a hexagonal pattern out of his magic and shields himself from the Raging Bolt*

Jellal: *Shield dissipates* Meteor! *Charges at Laxus and throws a quick punch*

Laxus: *Dodges the punch easily* *Knees Jellal with a lightning coated leg and knocks him back*

Jellal: *Recovers quickly and smiles*

Laxus: *Can’t move his body. Looks down to see a ring of light around his waist* What the..?

Jellal: Mintaka, a binding spell. You won’t be able to move your arms and legs!

Angel: Oh yeah, Jellal has him!

Laxus: *Can’t move my arms or my legs… Lightning Dragon’s Roar! *Releases a large concentrated blast of lightning*

Midnight: He found a way around the binding!

Jellal: *Defends against the roar by creating a hexagon shaped shield of magic in front of him*

Laxus: …

Jellal: *Lowers the shield. Claps his hands together in front of him, creating several balls of bright yellow light in front of him*

Laxus: *Flares his lightning and starts destroying the ring around him*

Racer: He’s using his lightning to break the binding spell!

Jellal: *Unleashes the power of the light balls around him, which when fired off become beams of light*

Laxus: *Completely destroys the Mintaka ring and, with the assistance of Lightning Body, jumps into air, avoiding the light beams*

Jellal: *Gets into a stance where he raises his right arm in the air, with his right middle and index finger outstretched* Pleiades!

*Soon six rays of light fall from the sky and head straight for Laxus*

Laxus: *uses his Lightning Body to dodge them, but is then caught off guard when he sees them heading back at him*

*The rays try to hit Laxus, but he dodges again. They then turn and head straight for him again. Laxus quickly fires a bolt of lightning, destroying the first light ray*

Laxus: *Dodges the other five rays* He doesn’t split them up? They can only move consecutively! *Uses Lightning Body to land on the ground and start running from the other five light rays*

Angel: Is running away all he’s going to do?!

Laxus: *Stops and turns to face the rays* I got enough distance! *Fires off a barrage of lightning to destroy the rays of light* One more!

Jellal: *Using Meteor to increase his speed, appears behind Laxus and throws a large ball of light at him*

Laxus: *Quickly turns and counters the ball of with a large burst of lightning*

*The ball of light is destroyed, but Laxus is struck in the back by the remaining Pleiades light ray*

Jellal: *Take advantage of the disoriented Laxus and uses Meteor to increase his speed and speedily head butt Laxus*

*With Laxus off balance, Jellal kicks Laxus away. Jellal comes in for another blow, but when Jellal punches downwards, Laxus uses Lightning Body to quickly slide out of the way of the punch*

Laxus: *Takes advantage of Jellal’s position and, with a fist coated in lightning, delivers a strong punch to his abdomen*

Jellal: *Knocked into the air*

Laxus: Lightning Dragon’s Roar! *Releases a large concentrated blast of lightning from him mouth*

*The roar hits Jellal head on and he then falls to ground*

Jellal: *In mid air* Got to… Wait… I can’t move!

Laxus: *Charges in and gives Jellal a quick strike to the face with a lightning covered fist*

Jellal: *Tries to lift himself up, but struggles to do so*

Laxus: This won’t last too long! *Drop kicks Jellal with a lightning covered foot*

Midnight: Why isn’t Jellal dodging?

Meredy: He can’t, he’s paralyzed!

Midnight: Huh?

Cobra: When that guy punched Jellal in the gut, he discharged a missive amount of lightning. Enough of that coursing through Jellal’s body and it inhibits his movements!

Laxus: *Dashes towards Jellal and hits him with a lightning covered uppercut*

Jellal: *Is pushed back, but finally is able to regain his bearings*

Laxus: *Raises their hands and forms lightning between them, forming a very large halberd out of it* Lightning Dragon’s Heavenward Halberd! *Hurls the halberd at Jellal*

Jellal: *Creates nine swords made of lightning behind him* Jiu Leixing! *Fires them at Laxus*

*The Swords and Halberd clash with the swords able to overpower the halberd, however the halberd was strong enough to cancel out six of the nine swords*

Laxus: *The swords strike his body and he begins to eat them*

Angel: Ahh, Jellal are you an idiot?! Dragon Slayers eat their own element!

Cobra: *Smirks*

*While Laxus is eating the lightning, Jellal uses Meteor to rush at Laxus and begins to unleash a barrage of super fast punches to Laxus’s abdomen*

Angel: Huh?!

Cobra: Those swords weren’t just a counter to the halberd. See Jellal was hoping that Laxus would eat his attack. That way there would be an opening to get in and unleash this attack. Jellal was one step ahead of this guy!

Laxus: *Keeps taking the strikes to his abdomen, but then finally pushes Jellal back by sneaking in a lightning coated kick*

Jellal: *Uses Meteor to speed in and try to punch Laxus, but his fist is caught by Laxus* Huh?

Meredy: He caught Jellal’s attack!?

Laxus: *Smiles* * Sends a surge of lightning through Jellal’s body, electrocuting him.*

*Laxus begins punching Jellal, then delivers a hard punch that breaks their lock and pushes Jellal back*

Jellal: *Trying to regain his bearings*

Laxus: *Swipes his arm outward and generates a massive current of lightning from the ground that follows the direction of the swipe*

Jellal: *Uses Meteor to dodge the lightning current* So he can read my Meteor attack when I charge at him? Well time to change it up… *While in mid air, charges a ball of bright yellow magic between his palms*

Laxus: *Runs at Jellal with Lightning Body*

Jellal: Sirius! *The ball in between his palms is released as a large, long and powerfully destructive laser-like beam*

Laxus: *Uses Lightning Body’s speed to jump out of the way of the beam*

*The beam creates a chain of explosions across the ground*

Jellal: There! *Uses Meteor to fly at Laxus*

Laxus: *Sees Jellal coming right at him and readies himself*

Jellal: *Increases his speed in front of Laxus and appears behind him* Got him!

Laxus: *Punches Jellal into the ground*

Jellal: ?!

Meredy: What!? But, Jellal used his Meteor’s full speed! Laxus should’ve fell for the fake out.

Cobra: No he planned for this. Jellal was fully aware that the lightning dragon knew how to fully counter his “Meteor speed in strike”, so Jellal decided to use a fake out by increasing his speed, but the lightning guy… He knew Jellal would’ve come up with a fake out, given how he set up his strike, so he was already prepared! This time he was a step ahead!

Jellal: *Getting up from being punched into the ground*

*The two charge at each other once more. Jellal throws a punch, but it’s caught by Laxus. Laxus tries to counter with his free hand, but it’s blocked by Jellal. The two are in a locked struggle, but Jellal breaks it by head butting Laxus*

Jellal: *Bear hugs Laxus. Then uses Meteor to fly straight into the sky with the ensnared Laxus, then begins to make a loop. He then zooms down and hurls Laxus into the ground*

Laxus: Damn it... *Can’t move* Lightning Dragon’s Roar! *Fires a concentrated burst of lightning up at Jellal*

Jellal: *Creates a shield with a hexagonal pattern to defend against the roar*

Laxus: Come on I gotta get up-

Jellal: *Fires a barrage of light beams at Laxus*

Laxus: *Takes the attack head on* Crap… He’s made enough distance that if I just fly up to him he’ll gun me down. If I try for long range attacks he’ll just shield against it… *Places his left hand on the ground* Guess I’ll need a boost! *Throws a lightning bolt at Jellal with his right hand*

*Jellal uses his typical shield to defend himself from the attack, but while he’s blocking the bolt, Laxus creates a ball of lightning with his left hand and fires it into the ground, propelling him off the ground*

Laxus: *Enters Lightning Body and with the added propulsion from the lightning ball, he zooms past Jellal and delivers a lightning coated elbow strike to the back of Jellal’s head*

Jellal: *Falls and crashes into the ground.* *Tries to lift himself up, but Laxus hits him with a large bolt of lightning*

Hoteye: This doesn’t look good, oh yeah!

*Jellal powers through the blast and uses Meteor to fly at Laxus. Jellal tries to kick Laxus, but Laxus stops the kick using his own shin. The two are locked in, putting pressure on each of their legs trying to push the other back*

Laxus: *channeling magic through his leg, he sends a charge of lightning through Jellal’s body, electrocuting him* *Breaks their lock by punching him away*

Jellal: *Recovers and readies himself for Laxus’s attack*

Cobra: Are they continuing this fight in mid air!?

Laxus: *Tries to punch Jellal, but misses when Jellal pulls back and dodges*

Jellal: *Kicks Laxus away* It’s time for the lightning to fall to earth! *places both hands on top of each other, with the top hand having only the index and middle fingers spread out.*

Laxus: *Falling* huh?

*Seven Magic seals then summoned in front of the Jellal and connect together to make what appears to be a constellation*

Jellal: Be judged by the seven stars… Grand Chariot!

*Each Magic seal then releases a powerful light blast down on Laxus, forming the same pattern on the ground before exploding.*

Meredy: That’s it, Jellal!

Laxus: *On the ground, starting to stand up*

Jellal: *Lands on the ground* I’ll finish it here! *bows down and points his hands downwards, with all the fingers closed except the index and middle fingers. He then begins to slowly move his right hand until it points upwards, causing the clouds above him to begin circling around, forming a cyclone as the skies darken*

Laxus: ?!

Midnight: This is the power he used to defeat us!

Jellal: This is the power to destroy Zeref, to break the darkness and avenge all those who have suffered in his name! True Heavenly Body Magic: Sema!

*From the center of the swirling formation, a glowing orb begins to form, growing in size until a humongous meteor emerges, falling to earth towards Laxus*

Laxus: *Looks up and begins to form a small ball of lightning in front of his mouth* I won’t lose here… I won’t be a burden for those I love... I won’t ever fall when the world is crumbling around me, not again! Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Raging Lightning Vortex! *Bites down on the ball of lightning charging in front of his mouth, then releases a large quantity of lightning from his mouth, the lightning moving in a tornado-like form*

Racer: He’s actually taking it head on!

*The Lightning Vortex clashes with the meteor. They both release insane amounts of pressure. The meteor final begins to crack and break apart along with the Lightning Vortex dissipating. The left over chunks of Sema began to fall over the grass land*

Racer: Damn they make more destruction than Zero!

Laxus & Jellal: *Panting*

Jellal: I had no idea… you had grown that strong…

Laxus: If you’re going to fight Zeref… Expect nothing less.

Meredy: They’re both incredible, but they have to both be at their limits!

Jellal: I’m almost out of magic… And I can see you are too…

Laxus: Yeah, so?

Jellal: Why don’t we hit each other with everything we have left!

Laxus: Alright. *Begins coating his fist in a huge amount of lightning*

Meredy: That’s the technique he used to defeat Jura, Roaring Thunder!

Jellal: *Focuses his all his Heavenly Body Magic into his fist, causing to glow and be enveloped in bright yellow light*

Angel: Woah! I can feel all that magic coming off of Jellal from here!

*The two continue to stare each other down and charge their magic. Lightning continues to build and crackle off of Laxus’s fist, while light begins to build and spiral around Jellal’s fist, looking reminiscent to a spiral galaxy. The two finally rush at each other and throw their punch, the clash of their fists begin releasing massive amounts of their magic*

Cobra: These two are beasts!

Hoteye: No, I know Jellal can win! His conviction is too great!

Racer: This guy has been keeping up with Jellal this whole fight, he might just take the win here!

Angel: Haven’t you been paying attention? Jellal’s been slamming this guy down with his heavenly body magic!

Midnight: But this, Laxus, has taken every attack that Jellal has thrown and pushed through!

Meredy: …

*The clash finally results in a large explosion, destroying the area around them. As the dust settles, both mages are still standing there, while in their punching positions*

Jellal: It’s time I end this! I knew I could match that power! Now all I have to do is… is… I can’t move! *Sparks coming off of his body*

Laxus: *Pulling back his free hand to throw another punch*

Jellal: How? How?!

Laxus: There was no doubt that you could’ve matched my Roaring Thunder, but even if you could stop the force of the attack, do you even know how much lightning passed through your body on contact?

Jellal: He was…

Laxus: *Delivers a decisive uppercut to Jellal, knocking him back*

Jellal: *While falling back* One step ahead of me! *Lands on the ground*

Crime Sociere: *shocked*

Jellal: I lost… *chuckles a little* I lost… *Starts to laugh* Ha ha, I’m not ready to kill Zeref yet! ha ha ha! *Stops laughing* Laxus…

Laxus: Don’t sell yourself short. You’re more powerful than I could’ve imagined. In a few months I have no doubt you could take a level even higher.

Jellal: I feel the same…

Laxus: you gave me one hell of a time. You reminded me that it only gets tougher here on out for a mage of this era, so I have a lot of training to do!

Hoteye: *Picks up Jellal*

Jellal: Maybe we’ll both fight Zeref together one day…

Laxus: Maybe…

Jellal: But now I must warn you, A new dark guild alliance is forming. All under the banner of Avatar…

Laxus: I guess we will be seeing each other in the future…

Jellal: *Smiles*

Magic

Thoughts

*Open outside Lucy’s apartment*

Marin: *such … Amazing legs… lady brandish… *passes out*

Brandish: You’re useless.

Cana: Hey! We’re the ones you’re fighting!

Brandish: *Staring down Cana and Lucy* So it appears Ajeel has been defeated.

Cana: Yeah, and you’re next!

Lucy: No, Cana.

Cana: Hmm?

Lucy: This girl, she can control mass with her magic.

Cana: What? That’s crazy!

Lucy: There might not be a chance we can win.

Cana: Well… *pulls out her cards* This here is war, and it’s our job as Fairy Tail mages to fight back!

Lucy: Open! Gate of the Golden Bull, Taurus! *Summons Taurus and Enters Taurus star dress* Yeah let’s go! Time to see how much we’ve improved since Tenrou!

Brandish: They’re going to fight back, how droll…

Cana: I guess I’ll start this off! *throws her cards at Brandish*

Brandish: *holds out her hand, shrinking the cards and catching them. Then proceeds to crush it with her hands*

Lucy: *strikes the ground with her whip* Earth Wave! * The ground begins to rupture and catches Brandish in it*

Brandish: *Takes some damage from the shock*

Cana: *holds out two cards on top of each other, in front of her* Wind Edge! *A massive wave of wind is unleashed and strikes Brandish*

Brandish: *Is pushed back by the wave of wind, as well as moved slightly off the ground*

*Lucy and Taurus charge at Brandish. The two punch her, but Brandish is able to get into blocking stance. The combination punch knocks Brandish back slightly*

Brandish: *Lands on the ground and regains her bearings* Well it appears introductions are out of the way. My turn…

Taurus: No! *grabs axe off his back* I don’t care how nice a body you got, you’re not hurting Lucy-san!

*Taurus goes charging at Brandish, but his axe shrinks before he can swing it at Brandish*

Taurus: !!?

Brandish: *Shrinks Taurus down, making him tiny* *She then kicks the miniature Taurus, sending him hurdling towards Cana*

Cana: That magic...

Brandish: Command T: Expansion…

*The mini Taurus then enlarges back to normal size and smashes into Cana*

Cana: *knocked down by the incoming Taurus*

Brandish: Don’t forget this. *Throws the tiny Taurus axe at the two, then when it’s near, she enlarges it*

Lucy: No! Gate of the Golden Bull, Close!

*Both Taurus and the axe fade away back to the celestial realm*

Brandish: *Takes this momentary distraction to run up and kick Lucy.*

*The kick knocks Lucy back and Cana tries to cover Lucy by throwing three cards covered in magic energy at Brandish*

Brandish: *Shrinks each card*

Cana: *runs to Lucy’s side*

Brandish: Is that your best?

*Brandish walking towards the two and steps on a card that Cana had laid on the ground in secret. By stepping on the card, it triggers a sudden explosion of ice that knocks Brandish back*

Cana: That Cold Fate card should hold her back. *kneeling down and whispering to Lucy* Hey Lucy?

Lucy: She's… Strong…

Cana: I think I have a plan.

Lucy: Really!

Cana: Shush! Her magic might work at high speeds, but she still has a window of opportunity for damage.

Lucy: So she’s weak to volley attacks?

Cana: Yeah, I need you to get behind her and use Sagittarius. Hit her with so much she can’t even shrink it all!

Lucy: *notices their surroundings and sees she can’t get past Brandish by simply rushing past her* We’ll need a distraction then…

Cana: Do you have any ideas?

Lucy: *holds up Virgo and Aries’s keys*

Brandish: *Reduces the mass of the ice, making it minuscule* Haven’t they figured out it’s useless to stand against the Alvarez empire.

*Lucy and Cana stand up. Lucy summons Aries and Virgo, as well as changing into her Virgo Star Dress*

Brandish: *taking her battle stance*

Lucy: Ready Virgo?

Virgo: Yes mistress.

*The two use diver and enter the ground. Lucy quickly springs out of a hole only a few feet in front of Brandish.*

Lucy: *Tries to kick Brandish, but her kick is caught. She quickly breaks out of Brandish’s grip and makes a new hole to enter*

Virgo: *Pops out of a hole behind Brandish and tries to knee her, it’s blocked by Brandish*

*Lucy and Virgo continue doing this, popping out of holes and getting their attacks blocked by Brandish. As this exchange continues, Aries sneaks into one of the holes*

Lucy: Aries is in position… Now Virgo!

Virgo: *jumps out of a hole, but instead of trying to physically attack Brandish, she just jumps higher into the air* Spica Hole!

*Virgo release a blast of magic energy at Brandish. But Brandish quickly counters by shrinking the blast and then steps out of the way of the now minuscule magic. When the tiny blast touches the ground it makes a tiny circular hole.*

Brandish: Trying to shove me in a pit? Guess your plan failed.

*Suddenly the ground under Brandish starts cracking, and is then followed by a massive geyser of pink wool. The wool completely catches Brandish off guard and pushes her into the air with great force*

Brandish: What the hell?!

Lucy: *Emerges from a hole located behind Brandish*

*Flashback*

Lucy:  Alright, Virgo has Brandish distracted. Is that wool bomb ready?

Aries: *charging wool* Yes…

Lucy: I’ll get out of here, you just release it quickly and catch that Spriggan by surprise!

*Return to the present*

Lucy: Looks like I got you!

Brandish: Command T: Reduction!

*The geyser of wool gradually reduces, but while Brandish is occupied with that, Lucy sends Virgo back to the celestial realm and summons Sagittarius. Lucy also enters the Sagittarius Star Dress.*

Brandish: *Finally recovering from the wool geyser* Enough of these trivial distractions- *eyes widen as she sees Lucy and Sagittarius nocking back their bows*

Lucy: Fire!

Sagittarius: Okay, moshi moshi!

*The two fire and enormous onslaught of arrows, all head towards Brandish at incredibly quick speeds. Brandish starts to shrink most of the oncoming arrows, but while holding them back, Cana starts throwing a volley of magic cards at Brandish*

Brandish: *Half turns her body and holds out her hands at both her sides, keeping off both barrages.* I can’t hold off all these attacks at once! *Gets grazed by an arrow and a few cards*

Cana: Time to turn up the pressure! *starts throwing cards with magic energy around them*

Lucy: Right, Star Shot! *Starts firing homing arrows*

*Overwhelmed by this, Brandish is hit by this assault on two fronts. The cards and the arrows upon connection make a small explosion*

Aries: *pokes her head out of the ground like a scared groundhog* Is it over..?

Lucy: *catching her breath* I hope…

*Dust settles showing an injured Brandish with a decent amount of damage on her body*

Brandish: Insolent… *picks up a shrunken arrow.*

*Brandish throws the arrow at Lucy, quickly enlarging it only a few feet from in front of her. Sagittarius steps in front of Lucy, using his body like a wall*

Lucy: Sagittarius!

Sagittarius: *fades to the celestial realm*

Cana: Lucy!

Brandish: *Hears Cana coming and turns to see Cana heading towards her while crossing the area that had all the holes created by Lucy and Virgo.*

*Brandish holds out her hand hand causing the ground underneath Cana to collapse*

Cana: How did she..!

Lucy: She didn’t make the holes bigger, but rather she reduced the mass of the area between each hold to the point the ground collapsed in on itself!

Brandish: *returns her attention to Lucy* I think I’ll finish you off first…

Aries: *still in her hole* Lucy-san…

Lucy: *Grips her bow tighter* Just try! With your injuries I can take you!

Brandish: *Begins to walk towards Lucy. While on this approach, Brandish’s wounds become smaller*

Lucy: Huh?

Brandish: *now a couple feet from Lucy* You seem surprised. I merely shrunk my wounds. All that effort and and your comrade put in, shriveled in the face of the Spriggan 12!

*Brandish pulls a knife from the inside of her jacket. Seeing that, Lucy quickly readies her bow. While nocking her arrow back, Brandish swings her knife outwards at her. Mid swing, the knife enlarges to the size of a buster sword and it’s tip is able to break Lucy’s bow*

Aries: Lucy!

Lucy: *tries to move back*

Brandish: *shrinks the blade to it’s standard size. But then, quickly thrusts the knife forward, enlarging it during the trust*

*The now larger knife is stopped by a pink wall of wool*

Brandish: *looks at Aries*

Aries: I won’t let you hurt her!

Brandish: *holds out her hand*

*The area around the hole increases making the hole itself smaller, causing Aries to get trapped and crushed by the new smaller hole.*

Lucy: No!

Aries: *fades away to the celestial realm*

Lucy: *Is in shock, and that distracts her from the now shrinking wool wall*

*With the wall reduced, the enlarged knife comes down and cuts Lucy in the area between her neck and shoulder. Then with another swing, Brandish cuts Lucy’s left abdomen and knocks her down*

Brandish: *Sees that Lucy is open and prepared to skewer her*

*When Brandish trusts the blade forward, one of Lucy’s keys glow and out comes Loke.*

Loke: *Enters the fray and with a Regulus enhanced punch, breaks Brandish’s giant blade* Heh, sorry I took so long, Lucy…

Lucy: Loke!

Brandish: *tosses away her blade* Another spirit?

Loke: *Getting into battle stance* I usually don’t like to fight women, but what you did to Lucy and Cana is unforgivable!

Brandish: *picks up more of the miniature arrows and throws them at Loke, enlarging them when they get close*

Loke: *Breaks all incoming arrows using gatling like punches* My move! *Releases a massive burst of light *

Brandish: I’ll just shrink it… *tries to shrink the burst* What?!

Lucy: It’s not affected! *enters her Leo dress*

*As the light fades to reveal a disoriented Brandish, Lucy uses the power of a Regulus enhanced kick to knock Brandish back*

Lucy: Got her!

Brandish: *still trying to regain her bearings, is hit by thunderbolt cards*

Cana: Lucy! Loke! Regroup!

*The three Fairy Tail mages reconvene*

Cana: Long time no see, Loke.

Loke: Heh, sorry…

*Brandish fully regains her bearings and starts reducing her wounds. She begins to approach the three*

Brandish: Command T: Expansion… *Becomes giant*

Cana: Okay… didn’t think she could do that…

Loke: I got this! *Jumps up a Brandish with Regulus coating his fist*

Brandish: *Punches downwards at Loke*

*The two punches collide and while Loke leaves a bruise on Brandish’s hand, her punch is stronger and knocks Loke down to the ground*

Lucy: Loke!

Cana: *Throws cards coated in flames at Brandish*

Brandish: *Shrinks the cards down and then stomps her foot down causing a shock wave that knocks Lucy and Cana down*

Loke: *Tries to limp towards the girls, but fades to the celestial realm*

Cana: This girl is…

Lucy: Way too strong…

Cana: We gotta get back to the guild!

Lucy: Huh? But you said we had to fight back!

Cana: Fight back, not die in vain. We have to retreat, then use our knowledge of this fight to our advantage later. *Whispers to Lucy* You did find a way to overcome her magic. You need to use it when we’re at full power.

Lucy: But-

Cana: We’ll let her have this battle, but Fairy Tail can still win this war!

Brandish: Interesting… But you won’t leave this battlefield alive! *Swings her arm down at the two FT mages*

*While dodging each of Brandish’s giant swings, Lucy spots the tiny body of Marin*

Lucy: Wait. That’s that space manipulator! *Summons Gemini* Copy Marin!

Gemini: Piri Piri! *Transform into Marin*

Brandish: *Lifts her foot up then brings her foot down to crush Lucy and her spirit, but with Marin’s spatial magic, the two teleport to safety*

Lucy: *Appears behind Cana* Let’s go! *Teleports away with Cana*

Magic/Magic Item

Thoughts

*Open on an area slightly outside of where the forces of Ishgar are clashing with Alvarez*

Rogue: *Sliding across the ground after taking a blow by Bradman*

Bradman: So… Thou hath plucked me from the field of battle to ensure thine allies will not succumb to the first seal!

Rogue: *Runs at Bradman, then tries to deliver a punch*

*Bradman guards against the oncoming punch by blocking with his left arm. Then Bradman swings his right fist at Rogue, but Rogue steps out of the way, dodging the punch.*

Rogue: *Covers his fist in shadows* This is for Gajeel! *punches Bradman in the abdomen*

Bradman: Thou is faring far better than our first encounter *Recovers from being pushed back* Keh Keh, then I shall treat you to the next se- *begins to fade* It appears that Neinhart hath fallen... So it is time to return to the underworld… *Historia vanishes*

Rogue: Well, at least that’s one less Spriggan.

Larcade: I wouldn’t become too complacent…

Rogue: *Turns his head to see Larcade perched atop a mountain* Who are you?!

Larcade: I am a member of the Spriggan 12... And I’ve come to purify your soul.

Rogue: Oh yeah? Shadow Dragon’s Roar!

*A large burst of shadows is fired from Rogue’s mouth, targeting Larcade. Larcade reaches behind him, grabbing onto one of the points of his giant cross. Then, in a swift motion, Larcade removes the cross from his back and holds it in front of him to shield against the roar*

Larcade: *Successfully shields against the roar, but when pulling back his cross to attach it to his back, he notices that Rogue is no longer at the foot of the mountain*

Rogue: *Using his roar to distract Larcade, he now is using his shadow body to swiftly move up the mountain*

Larcade: *Notices Rogue’s shadow creeping closer to him* So, he can hide in the shadows?  I guess I must prepare him for the pleasure he shall receive. *Begins to gather magic in between his palms*

Rogue: *Once reaching the peak of the mountain, he leaps out of shadows with more shadows covering his arm* Shadow Dragon’s Slash!

*While Rogue punches forward with his shadow covered arm, Larcade press his hands together in a prayer-like motion*

Larcade: Purge…

*This causes a wave of light to be released that completely envelopes Rogue. As the blinding light fades, Rogue is now burned, with small remnants of white fire on his body*

Larcade: What you’ve just felt is Holy Fire. It burns away the sins of the body, leaving only a pure white soul.

Rogue: *Tries to regain his bearings*

Larcade: Don’t fret… *Swings his left arm outwards, with his index and middle fingers extended, striking Rogue across the abdomen, cutting it open* The heavens awaits you.

Rogue: *Tumbles back in pain from the strike, causing him to slip off the mountain*

*While falling Rogue manages to clutch on to the rock face, and attempts to climb up*

Larcade: Oh? You’re quite the persistent one. No matter. *Begins gathering magic in between his palms* I shall continue to cleanse you with the purest of flames...

Rogue: *Struggling due to the wound he received*

Larcade: Purge… *Presses his hands together in a prayer-like motion, releasing a wave of light*

Rogue: *Once more is bathed in the light, and as it fades, he falls to the ground burnt*

Larcade: Once again, a soul is made pure white!

*Kagura arrives on the field*

Kagura: I didn’t believe that the shadow dragon would fall that easily!

Rogue: *Weakly turns his head* K-Kagura…

Larcade: Another soul has come to be purified!

Kagura: Hardly. I’ve come to cut you down!

Larcade: *Starts making motions with his hands* We shall see who is cut down… *releases numerous blades of white light towards Kagura*

Kagura: *Swiftly deflects each of them*

*Larcade is surprised by this speed and Kagura quickly dashes closer to the base of the mountain*

Kagura: I find it rude to do battle with someone who won’t face me eye to eye… *Swings her Archenemy and cuts through the entire mountain*

Larcade: All that with a sheathed sword?!

Kagura: *Leaps into the air* Flying Form!

*In midair, Kagura gets close to Larcade and tries to cut him down. However, her blade’s swift motion is countered by Larcade, who crossed both his arms in a blocking formation. The two put pressure on each other for a bit, until both push back, breaking their stalemate. Both combatants land safely on the ground*

Larcade: *Begins charging magic in between his palms*

Kagura: *Runs at Larcade, quickly readying her Archenemy to cut down Larcade*

Larcade: Purge! *Presses his hands together in a prayer-like motion, releasing a wave of white light*

*The wave catches Kagura and, as it fades, reveals Kagura covered in burns*

Kagura: *Drops to one knee*

Larcade: *standing over Kagura* I expected more from someone who said they were going to, ‘cut me down’. Well at least the heavens awaits you…

Kagura: *Quickly pushes herself off the ground and with that propulsion, delivers a head butt to Larcade’s nose*

Larcade: *pushed back slightly*

Kagura: *readying her Archenemy* I said… *quickly gives an outward swing of Archenemy and knocks Larcade back further* I will cut you down!

Larcade: *Quickly regains his bearings and starts releasing an onslaught of white light blades*

Kagura: *Begins deflecting each of them, while circling around Larcade*

Larcade: *Charges magic in between his palms*

Kagura: *still circling while keeping her distance*

Larcade: Purge! *Presses his palms together in a prayer like motion, releasing a wave of white light*

Rogue: Kagura!

*The light fades revealing an unscathed Kagura*

Larcade: You weren’t burned by my Holy Fire?!

Kagura: 7 meters…

Larcade: ?

Kagura: I’d say the range of your technique is 7 or so meters.

Larcade: How did you-

Kagura: You attacked Rogue using this technique when he was close to you at the top of the mountain. But you didn’t while he was at the foot of the mountain. When I appeared, you opted to use your blade technique. It tipped me off that the reason you didn’t use your Holy Fire wave while I was at the base of the mountain, was because I was out of your range.

Larcade: And do you think knowing that will give you an advantage? You are a swordsman. You fight at close range. So keep your distance won’t help you in the slightest!

Kagura: Oh yeah? Slashing Form!

*Kagura lunges at Larcade prepared to strike, and at rapid speed, slashes him across his right side*

Larcade: *knocked off balanced by the strike*

Kagura: *Uses Slashing Form again, lunging at Larcade with rapid speed and slashing him across his left side*

Rogue: Kagura is using the speed granted to her in that form to help her make quick strikes, while maintaining a distance!

Kagura: *Lunges at Larcade once more, but when going into strike, her slash is stopped by Larcade’s bare right hand* Huh?

Larcade: Hmm… *Cuts Kagura’s abdomen by swinging his left arm outwards with his index and middle fingers extended* Did you really think you could defeat a spriggan by merely zipping in and out?! *Pulls back his left arm and then uses it to punch Kagura in the abdomen*

Kagura: *Knocked back a considerable distance*

Larcade: *Begins charging magic in between his palms*

Kagura: It’s that magic! I gotta move! *Flees from Larcade to get out of his range*

Larcade: *Fires the magic gathered between his palms in an energy beam form*

Kagura: He fired it like a beam?! I didn’t think he could do that! *Stops fleeing, then gets into blocking stance.*

*Archenemy is able to fully defend against the beam, but Larcade gets in close to Kagura*

Kagura: *Swings her sword in an attempt to strike Larcade, but the strike is stopped by Larcade’s left hand*

Larcade: You were able to move rather quickly, even after I struck you. Perhaps the cut you received wasn’t so deep, considering I used my off hand to inflict it. But let’s see if we can fix that! *Swings his right arm outwards with his index and middle fingers extended, slicing Kagura across her left clavicle area*

*The strength of Larcade’s swing not only cuts Kagura, but also pushes her on her back*

Larcade: *holds his hand above his head* It saddens me to end your young life here, but I shall show kindness and release your soul… *Brings his hand down in a chopping motion, but the chop is slowed then stopped by a stream of rising shadows going across the ground*

*In a swift motion, Larcade pulls his hand out of the shadows. He then turns his to see the one who hauled his attack*

Rogue: *Crouching and Supporting his body up with his left arm*

Larcade: *Charges magic in between his palms* You!

Kagura: His magic… the time it takes to charge…

Larcade: Purge! *Fires a beam of white light at Rogue*

*Upon getting blasted by the beam, Rogue’s body catches fire in white flames*

Rogue: Not again! *falls to the ground*

Kagura: *Gets back on her feet and readies her blade* I have to time this right! *Swings Archenemy*

Larcade: *Jumps back and dodges the swing. He then begins to charge magic in between his palms* You two shall have your souls burned white!

Kagura: I have to interrupt his charge, now! Gravity Change!

Larcade: *A sudden change in gravitational pressure catches him off guard and causes him to break his charge*

Kagura: Strong Form! *Lunges at Larcade and thrusts the sheathed sword forward into his solar plexus*

*The strike of the trust is so great, that it sends Larcade hurdling backwards*

Larcade: *Lands on his back and slowly tries to sit up, while coughing up blood*

Kagura: *running at Larcade at rapid speed* Slashing form! *Lunges forward and gives Larcade a strong slash across his left side*

Larcade: *Grits his teeth while clutching his new wound* You will regret that… *Gets back to his feet*

Kagura: This is the final blow! *Closes in on Larcade with her sword readied*

Larcade: Rapture! *In quick hand motion, he releases a burst of light that enters Kagura’s body*

Kagura: *Nothing seems to happen to her, but in a split second, white flames suddenly erupt from her body, burning her greatly* *collapses to the ground*

Larcade: I don’t really like using that magic… It has such a short range… But it still will leave a pure white soul!

Kagura: *On the ground, struggling to get up*

*While Larcade prepares for another release of Holy Fire, Sting suddenly appears. Dropping from the air with white magic coating his foot, his incoming attack is blocked by Larcade.

Sting: *Bounces off of Larcade’s blocking arms and lands next to Kagura.* *He then fires a blast of white magic at the Spriggan*

Larcade: *quickly deflects the blast with an outwards swipe of his arm*

*While Larcade was distracted by the blast, Sting grabbed Kagura and made a good distance between them and Larcade*

Sting: Hey Rogue... Why are you laying down like that? I know you could take more.

Rogue: Very funny, Sting... This Spriggan is not laughing matter. I’d even say he’s stronger than The Reaper.

Sting: Kagura, you okay?

Kagura: *Panting* I didn’t think he’d be this strong…

Sting: Hey blondie! What’s your name!

Larcade: Why does my name matter?

Sting: Because I want to tell my guild and your kingdom exactly which Spriggan’s ass I kicked here!

Larcade: Very well… My name is Larcade, Larcade Dragneel!

Sting: Dragneel!?

Larcade: And I am the son of the emperor.

Kagura: Does that mean… Natsu is related to Zeref?

Larcade: Yes...

Rogue: I knew something about his scent was off, but this…

Larcade: I was hoping to meet my uncle here on the battlefield and end his life here, but he’s returning to Zeref. I guess I’ll meet him after I finish you lot.

Sting: Guess I’m going to be trimming Natsu’s family tree then…

Larcade: Oh? Do you think he would appreciate it if you took the life of one of his family?

Sting: Listen up, bastard! The second someone threatens to kill or harm their own family on purpose, then they have no right to call themselves a family member anymore!

Larcade: Then come, try and stop me.

Sting: *Dashes towards Larcade with his fist covered in white light.* Let me show you the wrath of sabertoooth! *He then throws a quick straight punch, but Larcade dodges it by stepping to the side. He then turns slightly and tries to hit him again with a follow up punch*

Larcade: Sabertooth? *Blocks Sting’s follow up punch* Never heard of it… *Using his free hand, he swings his arm out with his index and middle fingers extended and cuts Sting across the upper right abdomen*

Sting: *tumbles back slightly, but quickly regains his bearings* Then I’ll make you remember! White Dragon’s Claw! *Starts gathering light in his and fires it at Larcade*

*The light hits Larcade in the abdomen and pushes him back slightly*

Larcade: What’s this? I can’t move! *Notices a stigma on his body*

Sting: You ain’t moving anywhere! *Punches Larcade in the face.*

Larcade: *Still struggling to move*

Sting: *Gives Larcade another clean strike to the face*

*While Sting closes in on Larcade, light begins pouring off Larcade and the stigma burns away*

Sting: How?

Larcade: *With a swing of his right arm, he gives Sting a strong backhand strike to the face*

Sting: *Is pushed back, then he jumps back to where he had left Kagura*

Kagura: Now you see his strength… *Getting back on her feet*

Sting: What are you doing!?

Kagura: As long as I can stand, I can fight! We need to hit him with everything, no holding back!

Larcade: You shall still be burnt by holy fire! *Starts charging magic in between his palms*

Sting: Right! *Activates White Drive*

*Sting and Kagura charge at Larcade, but when he fires his beam version of purge, the two split up to avoid it*

Sting: For ‘holy fire’, it sure doesn’t look like it…

Kagura: *Is the closest to Larcade and readies her sword to be unsheathed*

*With Larcade in front of her, Kagura unsheathes Archenemy. The sheer power from unsheathing of the sword annihilates every thing in it’s swiping motion*

Larcade: *Jumped back away from the unsheathing swing* Well, good to know just how much power you have in one slash after unsheathing your sword.

Kagura: That wasn’t a slash, that was just me unsheathing my blade… This is me slashing with it! *Swings her blade downwards and give Larcade a strong cut down the abdomen*

Larcade: *Quickly regains his bearings*

Kagura: *Comes in for another slash, but Larcade blocks it with both his hands*

Larcade: I won’t underestimate your blade again, but with the damage you’ve suffered I know I’ll be able to last long-

*Larcade is knocked away by Sting, who dropkicked Larcade in the face with a white light coated foot*

Sting: *Rushes at Larcade*

*Once Sting is close, Larcade uses his Rapture technique. A blast of light enters Sting’s body and then white fire explodes from his person*

Kagura: *Tries to strike Larcade, but it’s blocked*

Larcade: *Swings his free arm out with all his fingers extended, and strikes Kagura in her left abdomen*

Kagura: *Is brought to one knee*

Larcade: *Knocks Kagura to the ground with a strong backhand* Now is the hour of purification... *Starts charging magic in between his palms*

Rogue: No! With the damage they’ve taken how can they take this?

Sting: *Flames finally cease coming from his body*

Larcade: *Brings his hands together in a prayer-like motion* Purge…

*A wave of white light is released, but as it fades neither Kagura or Sting have suffered any damage*

Larcade: What!? *Suddenly notices his magic entering Sting’s mouth*

Sting: Hate to say it, but that tasted pretty good!

Larcade: How?

Sting: I thought there was something odd about your “Holy Fire” and I think I found the reason, it’s not fire magic, it’s white magic! When you destroyed my stigma, you did it with light, not fire, then you used a beam like technique that didn’t even resemble fire, and finally when it entered in my body I could tell what kind of magic it was. Pretty easy given I’m the white dragon slayer!

Larcade: Do you think this helps?

Sting: Heh, it comes out as white magic, but upon contact, it becomes fire. I can’t eat fire like Natsu, but I can eat it while it’s still in it’s white form!

Larcade: *Removes his cross* Then I guess I won’t hit you with  my fire…

*Larcade hurls his cross at Sting. Upon striking him, Sting is impaled and knocked back. But Sting quickly pulls the cross out of him*

Larcade: *With a quick motions of his hands, he releases several blades of white magic at Sting*

*While Sting counters all the blades by eating them, Larcade begins charging magic in between his palms*

Sting: White Dragon’s Roar! *Releases a laser of light*

Larcade: Purge! *Presses his hands together in a prayer like motion and fires a beam of white light*

*The two beams clash resulting in a massive explosion. When the dust clears, Larcade notices Kagura above him.*

Kagura: Strong Form! *Swings Archenemy downward, but it’s blocked by both of Larcade’s arms. However, the sheer strength of the swing is enough to cause the the ground under Larcade to break*

Sting: *gathers a large quantity of light around his fist and then rushes at Larcade, punching him* Holy Nova! *explosively releasing the stored light upon impact and blowing Larcade away*

Larcade: *Smashes into the remains of mountain Kagura destroyed*

Sting: Alright! Kagura, are you okay?

Kagura: I can’t take much *coughs up blood*

Sting: You’re almost completely cut open…

Larcade: …I suppose I’ve been too gentle… *Stands up* I will show you the most powerful Holy Fire spell, R.I.P!

*With a quick hand motion, Larcade begins to have white magic pour off of him and numerous white paper talismans are summoned*

Sting: Big deal, it’s still white magic so I can still eat it! *Runs at Larcade*

*Sting fires of blast of white light, destroying a few talisman. But one of the paper talisman stick to his back and then ignite into a roaring white flame*

Sting: *Knocked forward slightly. Tries to blast away a few talisman to his right however, two talisman get stuck to his arm and light it on fire*

Larcade: *Makes a small motion and makes a paper talisman head towards Sting*

Sting: *Once his arm stops burning, he quickly coats it in light and destroys the oncoming talisman* Ha! I just got to destroy these things before they touch my skin!

Larcade: Is it that simple? *Sends waves of paper talismans at Sting*

*By coating his hands in light, Sting tries to destroy every talisman he can, but it’s not enough and several are able to connect to his body and ignite*

Larcade: How can one survive the coming onslaught of Holy Fire? I will burn away each part of your body and leave the whitest soul!

Kagura: Those things just don’t have to make contact, huh? Well… I shall handle that!

*Back on her feet, Kagura charges through the wave of paper talisman, slicing each one of them*

Kagura: Even if I can’t strike the final blow, I shall carve out a path for Sting to end this!

Sting: *Runs behind Kagura, allowing her to cut the talisman*

Kagura: *Falls to her knees*

Sting: *Hops over Kagura* Thanks! This one’s for you! *Strikes Larcade in the abdomen with a light covered fist*

Larcade: *Knocked backwards* I… I’ll… *Struggling to stand*

Rogue: Sting didn’t just punch him hard, but he aimed for the wound created by Archenemy when it was unsheathed. Kagura really did carve a path to victory!

Sting: I told you that I’ll make you remember the wrath of Sabertooth? *Runs at Larcade and punched him in the face* Well it looks like I beat you daddy’s boy! *Runs and punches Larcade in the abdomen again*

Larcade: Have I… Have I disappointed father..?

Sting: *Running at Larcade* It’s over!

Larcade: No… Not father…

*Once Sting is ready to deliver the last attack, a sudden explosion of black flames burst from Larcade*

Sting: Huh?

Larcade: *Black aura surrounding him* Father… Father…

*Flashback to 12 years ago in the Alvarez kingdom*

Larcade: *Age 9* Lord August!

August: *Age 60* Hmm, what is it Larcade-kun?

Larcade: Have you seen my father, I want to show something!

August: Hmm… You know that your father is busy and has given orders that you aren’t to bother him.

*It was always the same. Zeref refused to let Larcade see him*

Larcade: But I wanted to show him that I learned magic…

August: You learned magic!

Larcade: Yep! *Creates a small ball of white magic*

August: You seem to have a natural affinity towards white magic…

Larcade: Can I show father?!

August: No. I’m sorry… *walks away*

Larcade: Please, all I want to do is make my father proud!

Ajeel: *age 9* Heh heh, wow aren’t you pathetic!

Larcade: Shut up Ajeel! You see your father and grandfather all the time!

Ajeel: Yeah, and I don’t obsess over their approval.

Larcade: It’s not easy though! All I think about is my father. All I want to do is stand beside him!

Ajeel: Wow, you really are obsessed! If I were you maybe you could just storm up into his office and demand to see him*

Larcade: *Looks down the hall to where his father is meeting*

*Cut to Zeref’s meeting room where Invel, August, Yajeel, and Zeref are present*

Invel: *Age 19* And it seems that Tartaros has head to Ishgar with the book of END.

Zeref: Those demons… Taking what’s mine, thinking they know what’s best…

Invel: They haven’t made any moves yet and thanks to their nature, they will return one day.

Zeref: Very well…

August: Your majesty, if I may speak. I want to know your plans for Larcade.

Zeref: …

August: He seeks your recognition and love-

Zeref: I don’t love him.

August: hmm?

Zeref: I despise him… He was nothing, but one of several tests to recreate Natsu. I kept him because he looked the closest to Natsu.

August: But he thinks of you as his father…

Zeref: Of course he does! He’s just a demon from the book of Zeref, all they think about is me!

*Zeref pauses for a minute to look at those in this room*

Zeref: 9 years have passed since Natsu arrived in this time period, it’s only a matter of time before he kills me… But… I wanted my brother, I released Larcade so I could have my brother and my killer… I WANT NATSU! I WANT MY FAMILY, NOT THIS CHEAP SUBSTITUTE! It doesn’t have his hair or eyes, and his facial structure is changing too much…

Invel: If I might speak… It would be a waste to discard him. Larcade is a prototype of END. Even if he’s not as strong as the actual END, his potential would put him on a level close to August and Irene.

Yajeel: I saw the boy break a sword with only his arm. *Has a small flashback*

August: I can agree. I have seen his magic potential. For simple white magic, I could feel a storm behind it.

Yajeel: Interesting…

Invel: White magic… *rubs his chin* That could be extremely beneficial…

Zeref: ?

Invel: In my studies, I’ve discovered that the most powerful white magic is known as Holy Fire. It’s unique to the point that not even Acnologia could fully counter it.

August: But what of the Fairy Heart?

Invel: Not to say we can’t use it, but we have no guarantee that’ll work. With this we are assured a plan to fall back on.

Yajeel: But that’s only treating that young boy like a tool…

Zeref: I like it. A way to defeat Acnologia… A way to kill me… A way to finally have my beloved brother…

Larcade: *bursts through the door* Father!

Everyone: *Turns to look at Larcade*

Larcade: I know I’m breaking your rules, but I just had to see you and-and I just couldn’t take it and…

Zeref: *Silences Larcade by hugging him* You shall help create my beautiful white future…

*It was that moment that had determined Larcade’s soul mission. Larcade trained every day to become a master of Holy Fire. He also became youngest to receive the title of Spriggan, but that didn’t matter. These days were his happiest, for this was the time Zeref devote to him. This is what he longed for.

Larcade: *Age 13* *Praying*

Ajeel: *Age 13* Heh, you still at it, huh?

Larcade: Ajeel… Do you have anything better to do than bother me?

Ajeel: Hey hey, I’m not doing anything… Just wanted to see how his majesty’s private weapon is doing.

Larcade: I’m his son…

Ajeel: Not from what I hear. But there’s no guarantee that you’ll work.

Larcade: …

Ajeel: After all, Acnologia is the dragon king. How could you a guy who’s dad favors his brother over his kid really stop anything that powerful!

Larcade: *Begins surrounding himself in black aura.* Father… Will not be disappointed… I shall do what no one else can… All for father…

Ajeel: Really? Heh heh!

Larcade: *Fires a ball of dark flames at Ajeel*

Ajeel: *Creates a sand wall* What the hell?!

Zeref: *appears* A fire curse…

Larcade: *Black aura fades* Father!

Zeref: This curse appears to be the only thing truly left over of Natsu's…

Larcade: These are… His flames? These are his flames!?

*Back to the present*

Larcade: I shall not fail you father… I shall… kill them all! *The black aura fades, revealing the cross on his forehead became black and his body is covered in black markings*

Sting: Oh crap!

Rogue: Those markings! Their the same Milady and Jiemma had in Tartaros!

Sting: This guy is a freakin’ etherios?!

*In his stunned state, Sting is kneed in the stomach by Larcade who had first coated himself in fire*

Sting: *Pushed back slightly*

Larcade: *Punches Sting across the face with a hand coated in fire*

Sting: *Knocked back*

Larcade: A holy fire to leave only pure white souls… A demonic fire to scorch away all who oppose me… I am Larcade of the Spriggan 12!

Sting: *Stands up* Guess I can’t hold back… *White Scales begin to appear all over his body* Dragon Force!

Larcade: I won’t fall to you- *Is cut off by Sting giving him an uppercut that knocks him back*

Sting: *enters a crouched stance, gathering light in his hands.* Holy Ray! *He opens his hands, releasing numerous homing beams of light at Larcade*

Larcade: *Takes a great amount of damage*

Sting: *gathers a large quantity of light around his fist and then rushes at Larcade* Holy Nova!

Larcade: *Grabs Sting’s fist stopping the Holy Nova. Using his free arm, he swings it outwards with all it’s fingers extended and cuts Sting across the sternum*

*When Sting winces in pain, Larcade let’s go of his fist and backhands Sting with his now free hand*

Sting: *Quickly recovers and fires a laser of light at Larcade*

Larcade: *Blocks the attack, but notices Sting isn’t in front of him*

Sting: *Appears behind Larcade and punches him in the side*

Larcade: *Quickly recovers and, with an arm coated in fire, elbows Sting in the face*

Rogue: Damnit! Even trading blows like this won’t assure victory… I feel so useless… I couldn’t beat the reaper in the north, I crumbled facing this Larcade, and now my best friend stands alone… That’s it!

Sting: *Panting* Okay… You got some moves…

Larcade: I can last much longer than you!

*When trying to rush forward, Larcade finds he can’t move thanks to a shadow going across the ground that has swallowed his feet*

Larcade: Why aren’t you dead!?

Rogue: The shadow Sting… Eat the shadow…

Sting: What?

Rogue: I can’t fight alongside you, but if you eat this, you shall carry a piece of me onto this battle field!

Larcade: Silence! *Launches a fire ball at Rogue*

Rogue: *Blasted away*

Sting: *Sticks his head into the shadows and starts eating it*

Larcade: *Burns away the shadow keeping him in place*

Sting: You… Hurt my guildmate, pushed my ally to near death, and threaten this country… AS THE GUILD MASTER OF SABERTOOTH, I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! *The scales on Sting’s left half become completely pitch-black, as well as the the left side of his hair*

Larcade: I don’t fear an insignificant pest like you!

Sting: Then I’ll make you fear me!

Larcade: Then make me remember it!

Sting: *Charges at Larcade and punches him in the face with a white light coated fist*

Larcade: *Regains his bearings and fires a blast of fire at Sting*

Sting: *Quickly counters it with a blast of shadows*

*The two charge at each other and begin engaging in close quarters combat, knocking each other around. This back and forth continues until Sting pulls back and kicks Larcade away*

Larcade: *Regaining his bearings, swings both his arms out and creates an X shaped blade made of fire*

Sting: *Gets into a blocking stance. While he’s able to defend, he suffers a few burns across his arms*

*When Sting was defending against the attack, Larcade ran to grab his cross. Once it was back in his hands, Larcade coated it in flames. Then proceeded to hurl it at Sting*

Sting: White Dragon’s Holy Breath! *quickly gathers and releases a large quantity of light from his mouth*

*The massive blast of light not only destroys the oncoming cross, but also hits Larcade head on*

Sting: *Gets in closer to Larcade*

Larcade: *forms a ball of fire in his hand and throws it at the ground, where it bursts into a geyser of flames that hits Sting from underneath*

Sting: *Struggling to regain his bearings from the eruption of fire*

Larcade: Drop dead! *Kicks Sting away*

Sting: *Still struggling to get up*

Larcade: *Walking towards Sting, but then finds he can’t move his body well* Huh?

Kagura: *Holding herself up with Archenemy* Sting is fighting for our lives… I won’t let him die without lending a hand!

Sting: *Gets up and unleash a barrage of white and shadow covered punches* I’m going take you down! I’ll match you blow for blow! White for White! *Delivers a white light coated fist to Larcade’s abdomen and the wound made by Archenemy* Black for black! *Delivers a shadow covered punch to the same wound* And I’ll put them together, to achieve victory! *focuses the powers of light and shadows in his left and right hands respectively. He then put his hands together, combining the two elements that causes a powerful blast made of light and shadows that is shot towards Larcade*

Larcade: *Sent flying back*

Sting: *Panting*

Larcade: *Stands up and With a quick hand motion, Larcade begins to have white magic pour off of him and numerous white paper talismans are summoned*

Sting: Not these!

*Larcade sends the talismans at Sting, but they’re held off by Sting and his magic. However, in a new quick hand motion, Larcade makes the paper talisman start circling Sting. Suddenly, they all start sticking to Sting and don’t go off*

Sting: *Covered in talisman* …crap

Larcade: R.I.P: Eternal Rest!

*All the talisman ignite, completely catching Sting in a pillar of white fire*

Rogue & Kagura: Sting!

Sting: *On the ground in agony* I can’t believe this… I hit him with everything, but I’m stuck. I’m surrounded by all these stupid papers, and even if I get close he’ll light me up with magic I can’t eat… *Looks at the ground* But I’m not surrounded…

Larcade: *Panting* I shall leave nothing but a pure white soul and burn it till it’s black!

Sting: I can finish this now!

*With his previous hand motions, Larcade manipulates all the paper talismans to start circling Sting. But when they all try to converge, Sting slips into his shadow*

*Cut to the shadow*

Sting: So this is what it’s like in the shadows? Alright, I gotta hedge my bets on everything here! That Spriggan can’t take much more damage so I’ll hit him with everything I’ve got!

*cut to the real world*

Larcade: I suppose I’ll have to end this here! *Begins charging magic in between his palms*

Rogue: Come on, Sting…

Larcade: May all pure white souls ascend to the heavens…

*Suddenly Sting pops out of the shadows*

Sting: Sorry, but… The only soul ascending to heaven… *creates a multitude of very thin beams of light and shadows which pierce and slice Larcade* …IS YOU! WHITE SHADOW DRAGON’s ROUGH SILK!

Larcade: *falls to ground in defeat. Begins to have flashbacks of the happy times he spent learning his magic* Father… *His etherios markings fade away, and his forehead cross returns to white*

Magic

Thoughts

Jura: Now… what did you say about beating me?

Laxus: *staring down Jura* Oh, I was just telling Orga that you were the guy I had my eye on.

Jura: Makarov-dono’s grandson has been anticipating me. Well, I shouldn’t disappoint. *drops his coat*

Laxus: Good. I wouldn’t want you to hold back… *charges at Jura while enveloping his hand in lighting*

*Cut to the stands*

Chapati: Laxus wastes no time, he really wants to strike fast!

*Cut to Laxus vs Jura*

*Laxus swings his lightning enveloped fist at Jura. Jura quickly dodges the fist, then uses an open palm thrust to strike Laxus in the abdomen. The thrust has enough strength to push Laxus backwards.*

Laxus: *starts recovering from the strike*

Jura: *extends his middle and index fingers, then makes an upwards gesture*

*from the ground, a cylindrical rock pillar is created. With its rising motion, the edge of the pillar hits Laxus in the chin*

Laxus: *Once he fully regains his bearings, he swiftly moves backwards as more of Jura’s cylindrical rock are erected.*

*With another quick finger gesture, Jura manipulates the pillars to bend and curve towards Laxus*

Laxus: *Dodges the first bending pillar, then uses Lightning Body to hop around, quickly dodging the pillars*

Jura: Got him… *Holds out his open hand then clenches it into a fist*

*Jura’s gesture causes the rock pillars around Laxus to break apart and collapse.*

*Cut to the stands*

Freed: Laxus!

*cut to the fight*

*from the collapsing pillars comes Laxus who used his Lightning Body to increase his speed, making it easier for him to escape the collapse unscathed*

Laxus: Here I come! *Using Lightning Body to head towards Jura*

*With the increased speed, Laxus easily closes the distance between him and Jura. Laxus now up close, swiftly delivers a lightning enveloped punch to Jura’s face, which Laxus then follows up with another lightning enveloped blow to Jura’s face*

*Cut to the stands*

Warren: Alright!

Nab: Go Laxus!

*cut to the fight*

Laxus: *swings for another punch*

Jura: *Quickly steps aside to avoid the punch. Then delivers a strong punch to Laxus’s abdomen*

*The punch to the stomach slows down Laxus, and Jura takes this opportunity to strike Laxus in the face with an open palm thrust. The thrust knocks Laxus backwards*

Laxus: *quickly regains his bearings and fires a bolt of lightning at Jura*

Jura: Iron Rock Wall! *quickly manipulates the earth to take the form of a traditional brick wall.*

*The wall easily blocks the bolt of lightning. Jura holds out an open hand causing all the rock bricks in the wall to break apart. With the thrust of his open hand, Jura makes the swarm of bricks fly at Laxus. Laxus quickly starts firing many blasts of lightning that destroy the oncoming bricks*

Jura: An opening! *Quickly makes a fist, then extend his middle and index fingers. This causes an Iron Rock Spike to come up from the ground on Laxus’s right side*

Laxus: *manages to dodge it, but gets cut across the right side of his chin* Damn!

Jura: *makes a small bending gesture with his extended fingers causing another Iron Rock Spike to burst up, but this time on Laxus’s left side*

Laxus: *Dodges this one with more ease*

Jura: *Points his extended fingers at the ground, summoning an Iron Rock Fist*

*The gigantic fist from the ground rushes at Laxus, but Laxus uses his lightning body to jump on top of the fist and runs down the arm of it*

Laxus: *Gets close to Jura* Lightning Dragon’s Roar! *Fires a huge, concentrated blast of destructive lighting from his mouth that hits Jura head on*

*As the roar dissipates, Laxus swings a lightning covered fist, but Jura regains his bearings quick enough to move to the side when Laxus throws his punch. Jura grabs on to Laxus’s swung out arm and shoulder throws him to the ground.*

Jura: *Summons a pillar underneath Laxus that knocks him into the air with great force*

Laxus: *Maneuvers himself in mid air so that he’s able to land on his feet*

*Cut to the stands*

Mato: Wow! Laxus has made it up close to Jura three times and has been knocked away three times!

Chapati: I can’t tell what he’s thinking, but Laxus sure isn’t getting anywhere!

Yajima: Jura isn’t to be taken lightly…

Ooba: Ha ha ha! That’s it, Jura! Show Makarov’s brat what happens when you challenge Lamia Scale!

Sherry: He is definitely persistent I’ll give him that…

Ooba: Do want me to spin you?

Sherry: NO!

Max: Crap, Laxus can’t even land more than one shot without getting slapped away…

Laki: I know Laxus is strong, but there is no way he’ll win if they keep trading blows like this.

Evergreen: Come on, Laxus! Show them you can take this saint!

*Cuts to the fight*

Laxus: Now I see it…

Jura: Hmm…

Laxus: Heh… *uses Lightning Body to charge at Jura*

Jura: Here we go again… *with a quick motion of his hands, multiple pillars are erected to obstruct Laxus’s path*

Laxus: *swerves around each pillar, getting closer to Jura. He delivers an uppercut to Jura which pushes him back slightly.*

*Jura quickly gets ready to counter Laxus’s next punch. Laxus however, doesn’t punch, but rather pulls his arm back more. This motion offsets Jura who releases his typical open palm trust at Laxus.*

Laxus: *Grabs onto Jura’s outstretched arm* See I figured something out about you… *Covers his free hand in lightning and begins striking Jura in the abdomen with a barrage of lightning covered punches* You don’t too well getting up close and personal!

*cut to the stands*

Elfman: Alright Laxus! Show that wizard saint just how much of a man you are!

Cana: Wait, what does Laxus mean?

Mirajane: I see… Every time Laxus has tried to attack, Jura just knocks him away because he needs distance. To fully utilize his magic, Jura needs make a gap between him and his opponent so he can have a greater advantage with his earth magic.

Cana: So each time he countered Laxus, he was focusing on how much he could push him back.

Bickslow: But now Laxus has him boxed in and laying a beat down!

Mystogan: Don’t celebrate yet. Jura may not excel at close quarters combat like Laxus, but he does possess higher than average physical strength, as well as high endurance. He may be able to weather this storm.

*Cut to the fight*

Laxus: *still keeping up his strikes*

Jura: *Is able to extend his index and middle fingers, causing Iron Rock Spikes to come up from the ground.*

Laxus: *Quickly dodges without getting hit by the spikes* *while in mid air he begins chanting* Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, plunge from the heavens and reap destruction! *lands on the ground then raises his clenched fist in the air* Raging Bolt!

*The sound of thunder is heard as a large bolt of lightning descends from the sky, aimed at Jura*

Jura: *Notices this and claps his hands together* Rock Mountain! *From behind, a giant rock golem soldier with intricately designed armor is summoned to protect Jura*

*The Raging Bolt strikes Rock Mountain. Jura’s Rock Mountain’s defense starts giving away to the intensity of the lightning as cracks start appearing on Rock Mountain*

Jura: *slightly zapped by some of the breaching lighting*

*The final bit of the bolt of lightning falls as an explosion occurs due to its destructive force. When the dust settles, Rock Mountain is completely broken, with cracks running all around it and chunks of it crumbling off*

Jura: *has some small but noticeable damage* *smiles* I should expect nothing less from the grandson of Makarov-dono… *holds his right arm out and extends his index and middle fingers*

*Jura manipulates the crumbling Rock Mountain, having it break apart into several boulders. Jura then sends the boulder hurdling at Laxus*

Laxus: *readies himself and jumps up out of the way of a boulder coming straight at him*

*The boulders float around Laxus, allowing Jura to manipulate they in various ways.*

Jura: *takes three of the floating boulders and shoots them at Laxus in a consecutive fashion*

Laxus: *dodges these boulders, but while doing so, is grazed by two oncoming boulders coming from his left*

Jura: *flicks his extended fingers down, causing multiple boulders over Laxus’s head to start descending towards him*

Laxus: Lightning Dragon’s Roar! *Releases a concentrated blast of destructive lightning, but then moves his head around, allowing the roar to have an arched trajectory*

Jura: *smiles*

*All the boulders overhead are destroyed by the blast, but as he finishes, Laxus finds his foot caught in some cracks in the ground*

Laxus: Huh? He must’ve made that while I was destroying the boulders… *Suddenly the remaining boulders start getting close and surround him*

*Cut to the stands*

Mato: Looks like Laxus is in quite a pickle, Mato!

Lucy: Oh no…

Carla: What is it?

Lucy: That spell is… Supreme King Rock Crush!

Fairy Tail: *looks confused*

Lucy: That’s the spell Jura used to beat the Oracion Seis leader, Brain!

*cut to the fight*

Jura: *claps his hands*

Laxus: *from inside the rock containment his eyes widen*

Jura: Supreme King Rock-

*The spell is stopped as Laxus surrounds his body with lightning and creates a massive explosion of lightning that destroys all the boulders containing him, and also destroys the ground underneath him, freeing his leg*

Laxus: Hey let me ask you… You seemed to hold my gramps in high regard.

Jura: Yes. For the longest time, the difference between me and Makarov-dono was the difference between heaven and earth. As much respect as I had for his strength and title, I did long to surpass him.

Laxus: But thanks to his death, you’ll never get that opportunity.

Jura: …Yes… I have surpassed his title, but it means nothing to me because I can no longer surpass him in battle.

Laxus: Well let me tell you something, I’m not your substitute. The guy who will defeat you, the guy who’s going win for fairy tail, and the guy standing right in front of you… Is Laxus Dreyar!

Jura: Very well, Laxus-dono. Let’s see if the difference between us is like the heaven and the earth!

*the two start flaring their magic energy*

*Cut to the stands*

Chapati: Well folks, looks like the real fight is just starting!

*cut to the fight*

Laxus: *releases a flurry of lightning bolts at Jura*

Jura: Talus! *Creates several rock pillars in front of him to protect himself from the incoming lightning bolts*

*Talus protects against several lightning bolts, but a few go around the Talus and pass by Jura*

Jura: Was his aim off?

*the trajectory of the lightning bolt has them converge into one. Then from the converged lightning comes a bolt that heads back towards Jura*

Jura: He didn’t miss! Iron Rock Wall! *He quickly creates a large traditional brick wall that protects him from the converged bolt*

*As Jura turns his head slightly, he is kicked in the face by a lightning coated foot going at extreme speed thanks to Laxus who’s using Lightning Body*

Jura: *Laxus’s kick knocks him down on his back*

Laxus: *while semi airborne, raises his hands and forms lightning between them, forming a very large halberd out of it.* Lighting Dragon’s Heavenward Halberd! *hurls the halberd at Jura*

Jura: *while on the ground, swings his right arm outwards, across his body, which makes several rock pillars come up from the ground and he curves them so they are able to shield his body*

*The halberd hits the makeshift shield and causes a massive explosion. Once the dust settles, the pillars are completely destroyed and Jura can be seen with severe bruises and damage covering his right arm and some of the right half of his face.*

*Cut to the stands*

Chapati: Wow! Leave it to wizard saint Jura to have the skill to defend against an almost point blank attack!

Yajima: True, but even so, he clearly didn’t make that shield fast enough or strong enough to fully protect himself from an attack of that caliber.

Jason: Man, Laxus’s crazy wicked strong magic is just so COOL!

*Cut to the fight*

Laxus: *Punches downwards at Jura, but the punch is stopped by a rock pillar*

Jura: *lifts himself up a bit and then outstretches his middle and index finger*

*From behind the first pillar comes multiple other pillars in a continuous line formation that pushes Laxus backwards*

Laxus: *Focuses his magic and fires a bolt of lightning right down the center of the line of pillars, breaking them*

*The bolt of lightning that traveled down the center of the pillars, exits the other end and pierces Jura through his left shoulder*

Jura: *regains his bearings, and raises his hand slightly*

*The gesture causes a rock pillar to shoot out from the ground in front of Laxus and knocks him back*

Laxus: *Quickly regains his bearings* *Uses Lightning Body and heads towards Jura*

Jura: *crouches and places his hands on the ground*

*The ground Jura’s standing on elevates at an angle. Laxus punches the face of the now raised earth*

Jura: *extends his middle and index finger*

*From the low ground comes a giant stone hand that grabs Laxus and then pins him to the ground*

Jura: *thrusts an open palm hand, which causes the stone hand to explode*

*Cut to the stands*

Freed: Jura used the magic he had flowing through the stone hand to make it detonate!?

Bickslow: This guy is a freakin’ beast!

*cut to the fight*

*dust settles from the explosion as Laxus stands up*

Laxus: *Trying to regain his bearings*

Jura: So Laxus-dono… Can you climb this mountain to claim your victory?

Laxus: If it means getting closer to taking you down and winning this tournament, then I’ll climb a hundred mountains!

Jura: But can you manage this one? *Outstretches his arm and extends his index and middle fingers.*

*The gesture summons three Iron Rock Fists from the ground in front of Laxus, one coming from the right, one coming from the left, and the final coming from the center*

Laxus: *dodges the fists coming from the left and right, then takes center one head on, punching it with a lightning cover hand and completely shattering the rock fist*

*Laxus then uses his Lightning Body to increase his speed and starts running up the face of the raised earth. But with a quick motion by Jura, an Iron Rock Spike comes out of the face of the raised earth.*

Laxus: *dodges it as well as the other spikes that start shooting out, trying to skewer him*

*As Laxus lands on the ground, Jura causes the spikes to crumble and break apart. Then, Jura uses Rock Avalanche with the difference sized boulders from the broken apart spikes, which causes them to be sent flying at Laxus with extreme force*

Laxus: *is hit by these boulders and is forced to his knees*

Jura: It’s time to end this! Iron Rock Quake! *claps his hands together and sends his magic into the earth causing everything on the lower ground to tremble and break*

*Cut to the stands*

Jason: Jura just made an earthquake with his magic, so COOL!

Freed: *clenches his teeth* please don’t stop here Laxus!

*cut back to the fight*

Laxus: *Feeling the shock of the quaking earth* Damnit I can barely move! But if I don’t get out of here I’ll be crushed… *notices the buildings starting to crumble and collapse* Gotta get out..! *looks at the ground*

*Laxus focuses his Lightning Dragon’s Roar at the ground. The strength of the roar propels Laxus upwards, off the shaking earth. Laxus then uses his Lightning Body to maneuver himself closer to the elevated earth face and run up it.*

Jura: He made it up to here?!

Laxus: *leaps at Jura, covering his fist with lightning and striking downwards at Jura*

Jura: *quickly steps back, avoiding the attack, making Laxus’s fist go into the ground. He then delivers a strong punch to Laxus’s face*

Laxus: *is knocked back from the counterattack*

Jura: Hmm… *while watching Laxus fly backwards, he then notices the ground is sparking with Laxus’s lightning magic*

*A lightning bolt comes up from the ground, hitting Jura head on.*

Jura: He must’ve prepared this trap when he punched the ground!

Laxus: *Takes this time to regain his bearings, then changes at Jura with his Lightning Body. He then delivers a lightning enveloped roundhouse kick to Jura.*

Jura: *is pushed back slightly by the kick, then is struck in the face by a lightning enveloped right hook. This pushes him back even more*

Laxus: You said it’s time to finish this, then let’s finish it! *charges at Jura*

Jura: Yes, let's… *presses both his hands together* Rumbling Mt. Fuji!

*Jura summons an enormous amount of Magic Power that overwhelms Laxus in a beam that comes out of the ground, and blasts him into air with tremendous force.*

*Cuts to the stands*

Chapati: There it is folks! The spell Jura used in the MPF!

Yajima: This isn’t looking good for Laxus…

Cana: Holy crap, that’s a lot of power!

Elfman: Come on Laxus, we know your man enough to take it!

Mystogan: He might not…

Elfman: Huh?

Mystogan: He’s clearly gone through a lot of magic.

Elfman: yeah but…

Mystogan: Also take into account the damage he’s sustained while fighting Jura coupled with the damage he received from Orga earlier, and no longer having full strength to compensate for it.

Elfman: But he ate that god lightning, he should have tons magic!

Mirajane: Elfman, haven’t you been paying attention to the fight? Look at how much Laxus’s has pushed himself to win. Even with a full magic container, this fight has really drained him.

Lucy: But it’s drained Jura too. Both are probably at the end of their ropes.

*Cut back to the fight*

Jura: *Holds his arms out in front of him* I’m quite impressed, Laxus-dono. I would’ve never thought you could last this long and do so much damage!

*The stones from the collapsed buildings start coming together in mid air taking the shape of hands*

Laxus: *Begins falling, but starts to recovering from the Rumbling Mt. Fuji* Oh crap… *notices the large stone hands* I gotta get out this! But I’m running so low on magic… *looks at Jura* No I will win!

Jura: Rage of the Earth: Mountain Concealment! *Claps his hands together cause the rock hands to copy the motion and come together.*

*Before the hands fully come together, Laxus uses Lightning Body to shoot himself forward and dodge the attack*

*cut to the stands*

Evergreen: He did it!

Bickslow: Yeah!

Freed: Wait, look!

*cut to the fight*

*Laxus’s Lightning Body starts fading to the point it’s only sparks coming off him*

Laxus: Can’t lose here, but I gotta save my magic…

Jura: He dodged… Iron Rock fortress!

*A large curved wall is erected in front of Jura.*

*Cut to the stands*

Ooba: Yeah, go Jura! End this!

Sherry: Huh?

Ooba: Don’t you see it! Iron Rock Fortress’ size is so high that at the angle that fairy is coming in at won’t be able to clear that. He could try turning his body to lightning again, but given how he can’t maintain it anymore, he won’t waste his magic on it. Finally, if he intends to try and break through it, he won’t be able to because he thickness of the rock is to much to penetrate with what magic he has left!

Sherry: Jura really has thought this out…

*cut to the fight*

Laxus: I gotta clear this, but my magic… *Has a small flash back to what he said to Orga at the end of their fight, about how he’ll be the one to defeat Jura* *clenches his teeth and starts focusing lightning into his hand*

*While falling towards the ground, Laxus a concentrated wave of lightning at the ground. The force of the wave propels the descending Laxus upwards*

Jura: *panting* I have to knock him out of the air! *makes the stones that formed the rock hands break apart and hurl towards Laxus*

Laxus: *Seeing the on coming rocks starts spinning in mid air while generating lightning from his hands*

*The lightning expands and becomes a spiral around Laxus’s body. The lightning spiral destroys the oncoming rocks*

*Cut to the stands*

Thunder God Tribe: GO LAXUS!

*cuts back to the fight*

Laxus: *Lands on the ground, twisting his upper body, with his right fist covered in crackling lightning* I told you I was going to beat you… And here I am with the last drops of my magic… All here to beat you!

Jura: *looks shocked*

Laxus: Laxus… remember that name… The name of the guy WHO BEAT 5TH WIZARD SAINT, JURA! ROARING THUNDER!! *punches Jura with his lightning covered fist, which releases a massive burst of lightning upon contact, as well as pushing Jura back with immense force*

Jura: *falling backwards in defeat* Laxus Dreyar… I will remember that name. Now you have made me long see that there two people I aspire to surpass… You and Makarov… Truly like comparing the heavens to the earth*
