(EVENT BATTLE) The Raid on Magnolia Town

With that last inching breath of control and stressful battle Mari has released one of her strongest spells she had from her mouth, in both rage and encouragement from a unknown source, but she didn't care. Watching as both her's and Daichi's roars collided within one another strengthening its power as it consumed everything in its path. Devouring Fredrick within it, the damage from the attack was to great for him to endure and only left him to shout in agony and left to fall upon his knees with his head toward the sky, whispering something under his breath. The darkness that held Mari in place suddenly dispersed and her motionless body was released and felt like a large weight has lifted off her shoulders. With Daichi unsure of what has become of Fredrick, Mari only shrugged her shoulders and she tried to catch her breath.

With that a new opponent has arrived and this time it seemed that they were much stronger then Fredrick was. Mari turned toward Daichi, hoping he was ready to continue fighting because it seemed that these dark mages didn't want to give up. With another from an unknown estimate of dark mages downed the less they have to worry about. Along with her own little trouble within herself, she took a large gulp turning back toward the mysterious mage.

"MAX SPEED!"

Shouted a familiar voice from the background. And with that Mari was taken toward the sky within a millisecond was whisked away by a thought to be downed partner. Within those few seconds Max grabbed Mari from her back and took her into the sky, his wings flushed from slots within his clothing for easy flight and not having to worry of removing them. Mari though was surprised, having already forgot that he was here to begin with. They broke through the air in front of them with ease and made a quick stop probably 46 ft within the sky, and looked down upon the large destruction from that attack that soon came from the mysterious person. Mari started to flail her body back and forth trying to see if she can find Daichi.

"DAICHI!"

She shouted.

A sudden burst of wind came from the girl, sending all of Harlands men flying back several meters. And the two cannons he aimed at her along with some others destroyed. But among the rubble of the cannons that were destroyed and the ones that were still standing. Stood Harland, firm and stern. Without even moving a muscle.
'Tch young girl, you understand nothing. That 'person' you were talking about is an evil entity and probably the greatest threat to Fiore since the last Chaotic War. If we don't stop it now, it's corruption will spread all through Fiore and beyond that. So if I have to destroy Magnolia along with it, that means it is a necessary sacrifice.'

Harland waited a few seconds before he continued, still looking at the girl who was now levitating a few meters above the ground.
'Also do you even know you attacked a Council Member for which I can have you detained or worse!
So now let me do my job, because I don't see Fairy Tail or Blue Pegasus even having the slightest chance of winning this!'

Just as they had Fred hanging on the ropes, things started going wrong. As Daichi expressed his confusion in Fred's situation, a woman appeared from the Keeper's shadow, carrying a scythe with her body stained in blood. She wore a dark smile which made Daichi feel uncomfortable. He felt a lot of magic power in her, much more than what he has right now. "An impressive attack young dragon slayers, but now let me show you the power of a Hell Queen." When Daichi heard this, he simply smirked with an arrogant look in his face as if he's showing that he isn't threatened. "So you call yourself the Hell Queen, huh? Lemme kick your ass back to your kingdom, or, in other words, back to hell!" However, before the woman even heard what Daichi said, she took a deep breath as if she was preparing for a spell - something Daichi knew would be dangerous seeing how she was letting the darkness around her flow into her. "HELL DEMON'S HOWL." When she said that, a black beam of dark energy was released from her, going directly to the two dragon slayers. Daichi knew that there's no way that he will remain standing if he got hit by this so he tried to think of a way to dodge. However, the dark beam had already struck him by the time he thought of one. His mind started to lose control of his body as his instincts got the better of him. And his instincts brought things to his favor...

Spoiler:

When the darkness from the spell cleared, Daichi was seen to be standing firm. His body was surrounded by water, partially protecting him from the damage done by the spell though he was obviously scathed. The water took form of a dragon afterwards, flapping its wings as the young slayer wore a silly grin. In an instant, the water cleared his body and he was shown to be bruised and pretty much beaten, relieved as he realized that his instincts have saved him from apparent defeat though he still got some spoils from the hit. Heh, he needs to make a defensive spell more reliable than that. Everything around him was destroyed, the park completely wiped to a ruin due to the force of the spell. He almost got hit by a metallic beam but he was able to dodge it in the last second. Debris flew around afterwards, bouncing off Daichi's body due to their force. Being a dragon slayer, this didn't really hurt him much since his highly enhanced endurance can take stronger hits than these little debris. "Ouch... That hurts SOOO much..." Daichi said in a sarcastic manner, his eyes definitely proving that he's just joking around (though the hit actually hurt him pretty good). He managed to laugh a little bit, but his expression turned back to a serious grin knowing how powerful his opponent is. He heard Mari scream his name afterwards who seemed to be safe since she flew above the sky with her exceed. "I'm still in one piece! What about you?" Before he waited for an answer, he shifted his attention back to the Hell Queen, his eyes filled with determination and convitcion. He wasn't fighting just about anyone in front of him. He's fighting a demon slayer - something he has never seen until now. Daichi knew this since he heard her say 'Hell Demon' before she unleashed her destructive spell so he got the idea that she possessed that rare magic. "So, you're a demon slayer, huh? Guess we've got tough company." When he said this, Daichi grabbed a small water bottle that hung on his side, happy that it wasn't damaged by the spells he took a while ago. He drank the bottle until it was 2/3 full, feeling greatly revitalized from his drink. "Ah... Now that I had my drink, I'm all geared up!" Daichi's body started to surround itself with water afterwards, definitely showing that he's become stronger than he was. He managed to keep standing through the pain and face the Hell Queen head on, his eyes filled with determination - determination to win.

Alright, to explain the spells I used in this thread. The one that protected me was Water Dragon's Scales, a B-rank defense that can block any spell of the same rank (I reduced the howl's damage by 50% so I'm not defeated yet). The part where I drank water increases both my strength and speed by 50%, a spell included in my water bottle weapon. https://www.fairytail-rp.com/t3659-daichi-s-magical-water-bottle. Oh, and I'm sorry if my character's trash talking seems to be offensive... it's part of his battle personality, so I hope that's understandable.

HELL QUEEN NARAKU "Bow Before Your Queen!" Naraku had to admit she was slightly impressed though only slightly. One had dodged by the help of an ally and the other had used a spell to lessen the force. On top of that the water slayer was acting as if her attack was nothing. A good ploy if the damage itself hadn't of been obvious. Naraku was about to respond to his words when Soleice appeared and not only took her hand, but began flirting. Flirting on a battlefield. How strange. "Frederik is a useful ally. These mages together were overwhelming him so I decided to step in and even the odds" It was a lie. He was a useful ally, but that wasn't why she stepped in. Her binding to the guild via ascension had forced her hand. However, he did not need to know that. He didn't need to know anything really. However, he seemed to be a friend of Frederik's so perhaps he would be useful. She placed a hand on Frederik's neck and focused causing a seal to form on the back of his neck. Once this was formed she swept the haori over him and his body vanished. He had been sealed away in her pocket dimension for now. He would remain unconcious, but his body would slowly heal. It was ideal for getting him out of here. Her eyes had never left the other mages. She still had a lot of magic power left though the howl technique and shadow step had drained her somewhat. Another A rank technique was not as advisable, but what to do. It all depended on what this newcomer did. Fluffy stepped out from her cloak and waited. He was in his small form, but ready to grow at any point. She sensed a new power from him. He was stronger than before. A useful thing to note. She decided to add some fear into the mix and pointed at Daichi. "You, water slayer, you have given me a gift greater than you know. A gift that will destroy not your life, but everything you hold dear." she stated. She wondered if the man would become afraid because of this threat. In truth she was not trying to make him afraid. She was trying to bait him. Trying to get him to show some more emotion. Only then could her transformation be perfect. She could turn into him perfectly now, but without knowing how he'd react to certain stimuli the disguise would be useless. "As for you fire slayer. I suggest you run. Your ally is perhaps a match, but you are not. You are weak." Again another baiting. She wanted this mage to use a spell where she could sense it. Then she too would become one of her possible transformations. made by kiwii at btn & ote!

"You think just because you are part of the Magic Council, that I will stand back and watch while you destroy not only a city that houses innocent and friendly people as well as those which I hold dear?" Ren's voice would be filled with sadness and determination. She wouldn't even wait for a response as she casts her "Bass Drop!" Ren would engulf her hands in sound waves and proceed to slam them into the ground causing the immediate area to quake violently. This would cause the ground to crack slightly and cause some cannons to topple over. Not only this but a high frequency wave of sound would be sent out at the same time in an omni-directional manner. Ren would look up to see the aftermath of her attack and speak these words. "Fairy Tail is my family, even though I left them, they will always have a place in my heart. You try to harm my family, and I will destroy you..."

Neko walked to the dark mage with rage and anger. No one would threaten that in front of him and live. It was his family and his guild. As he walked closer and his rage grew so did his power and the wind around him. The mage didn't move or cast any spell's. Suddenly the pressure from Lich and Heero's fight reached to where he was. Though there wasnt to much distance between them the power was unbelievable.

Ha! soon your Heero will die and there will be no hope. The last of the fairies light will be snuffed out from this world!


Neko didn't even bother thinking. He had his hand around the man's throat and ready to snap it.

You will not live beyond this fight! I will turn you to ash!

Neko tried to snap his neck but his hand wouldn't move. Neko tried jerking his whole arm but it wouldn't move. The dark mage laughed.

You fool...

Neko was throw back into a crumbled wall. He coughed as dirt and pieces fell on him. He tried to stand up but for an odd reason nothing would move. The dark mage laughed and walked twards Neko. Neko started to panic even more.

Running into a fight. All this big bad talk... You dont even know my magic? How could you expect to do anything? For our reckless action's I get the fun pleasure of killing you! You see with my magic im invincible to you! With my spell I can not only control your whole body but Im protected fom all other dark/ night/ and shadow magic! You are helpless now!

A blood red foggy aura shimmered around the mage at the mention of it's spells name. Neko tried to squirm and move but he couldn't move a thing. 

I have a better idea! How about you help me in the aid of destroying your guild little Heero! I quite like that! Sacrificial Pedestal!  


A blood red crystal grew up from the ground.


Now when I kill you your power will be added to lich and Heero will fall!  

Flashback! Start~

The little boy Neko was crying. He had tried so hard to hit the spider demon. But because of its dark magic he wasnt able to hit it once. It's darkness shield was just to strong for neko. Then he got caught in it's web. Neko knew for sure he was going to die when he felt " Her." The presence of his goddess was very well known. 

My child why do you cry? 

Its just to strong! The darkness is to strong for me to fight and now because im not strong enough im going to die. I dont know what to do save me!

The terror in Neko's voice was strong. He was afraid and needed his mother's help. 

My dear little one you already have what you need all you need to do is remember. Always remember that I am with you. When you feel as if you are alone and the darkness is to great then call upon my light. Let my light aid you in your fight for those you love...
Flashback End~

 Let my light aid you in your fight for those you love...


The words echoed through Neko's head. He forgot that he even had the spell. Neko closed his eye's and took in deep breath's. With each breath the aura that faded with the enemy's spell returned. It grew stronger and brighter. 

You fool. The only good raising you power will do is add that much power to Lich.


Neko ignored him and continued to let his power rise. 

You are the only fool here. You have underestimated me and my power. Now you will see the true light of a fairy! Starry Starry Night!


An aura that looked like a night sky flowed around Neko. He looked at the crystal then the mage.

Let the stars of Nyx fall! Destroy the darkness before me her child Neko! 


A silver ray light light shot down and hit the mage. The light destroyed his spell and Neko fell. He was quick to move and landed just next to the crystal. Neko was mad now.

You have played your games long enough! You will pay for that. I will not be used in "his" down fall. If anything I help his up bringing.

Neko said him referring to Heero. His eye's where foggy talking about him. Leaving the secret meaning behind his eye's. Neko raised his head to look at the mage. 

Time to fall!












-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paladin Pov~


Let's go!

The Paladin's raced to the fortress on the Hill. They weaved in and out of the thunder and reached the magic council's wall's. 


Harland! You need to stop! Fairy Tail is going to win! You blow us up not only are you destroying Fairy Tail but Blue Pegasus! We are winning the war! Send men down to help! We are going to win you need to stop right now!  

Harland looked from the girl towards the sudden arrival of the paladin, whom carried the Fairy Tail emblem on his armor. Both insisting that he had to stop his determination on destroying the dark mages along with the town. Normally he would put such insolence down swiftly, but then again this wasn't a normal situation.
And then the paladin was talking about that they were winning the war, what could be true off course. Surely the arrival of Blue Pegasus improved their odds of defeating this atrocity but that didn't mean they could defeat The Lichborne itself.
'Winning, there is victory in this battle youngster. You've have seen the dead, the destruction and the horrors here. How can you even see light at the end of this battle.
No, there is only one way. I will purge this land of it's corruption and I....'
Harland looked down upon the girl, just a minute ago she was talking about family. And being a part of that. 
'I..but I also understand the meaning of family and the strength it carries with it.'
Harland's cannons from the fortress took off their aim of the the city. And the gigantic barrels were now slowly aiming towards the sky.
'Allright all remaning Rune Knights!! Head to the city and assist the guilds in anyway possible. Also you two!!'
He focused on the paladin and the young girl again.
'Get me in contact with the Guildmasters of Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail. And any other of importance, maybe there is a way to put it down together.
Oh and I would make haste if I was you, if The Lichborne even gives the slightest chance that it will achieve victory. I still won't hesitate to purge it along with the town!'

The dark mage had fallen back into a cracked wall from the explosion. The mage snarled and groaned. He stood with blood running down the side of his face. He grunted walking forward towards Neko.

You little rat! Your going to pay for that with you life! Dark Speed! Dark Strength!


The dark mage quickened a lot. He came very close to hitting Neko in the face but it was night time and his speed buff wasn't fast enough. Neko laughed and turned to the side.

Haha dont you know this is my realm! At night you will have fear little dark mage.

Neko twitched his finger and the speed and strength buffs exploded on him. The mage howled in pain again. The mage breathed heavily and spit blood at neko. Then jumped back placing his hand's in the air calling out a spell. Then a dark red orb formed in between his hand's.

Dark Void! You pathetic little mage. This is an A-Rank Void spell. It will suck you in and you will no longer be! Any last words before you die!

Neko ears twitched and he looked towards the lighting filled sky. Neko grinned at the dark mage.

Yes I do actually. One your spell is nothing when you cant finish it and two Good Bye!


Neko ran towards the mage at an alarming speed. Neko brought his knee up into his chest. It wasnt enough to stop the spell but enough to knock him off balance. Neko lifted him by the shoulders and threw him into the sky. He had time to let out one bloody scream before lighting struck him and turned him into ash. Neko giggled before ripping off his shirt. 

Not letting you get away after all of this.


Neko caught what ashes he could in his shirt and knotted it shut. Neko put the rather small make shift baggy into his pants and walked over to his sword. He ripped the sword up and put it on his bare back when the group of paladins came running back. They looked at him funny. 

Neko why are you shirtless?


Its a long story. I see you stopped Harland? 


Yes. He wants to talk to the guild master. Get this communication larmica to Heero. 


The Paladin threw the larmica to Neko. Neko shrugged and headed back to the guild with the paladin's. Neko was greeted by and anger shirtless Heero. Neko wondered why.

Hey Heero! We got something for yea!


Neko tossed him the lacrima and smiled.

We stopped Harland but he wants to talk to you and Shu~! These Paladin's and I have been through hell. I think we need to freshen up a bit. Night's Aura!


Neko smiled and clapped his hands together at the name of the spell. A silver fog formed around Heero, Neko and the Paladin's healing them slightly. Neko smiled at Heero. 

You almost Died in you fight with Lich.... but it's ok I took car of em.


Neko dropped the bag of ash at Heero's feet.

Aeon would allow the ground to sink back down to her feet, and look around at the surroundings. Both of the enemies she had been fighting were downed, even the big guy with the axe. “Yay!” she would say to herself. A few seconds later, she would notice a piece of wood that was on the ground, and then something about sticking together on the battlefield, “You’re on my side? Wait, didn’t I see you on the airship?” With the recent events, that was still somehow enough to knock out two Savage Skull cronies, maybe not particularly the strongest.

Aeon would nod in agreement that as the weaker members of the guild, they should probably stick together. “Yeah, that’s a good idea. But since we’re… look out!” she would say as lightning fell from the sky in two parallel places aiming to strike them. Aeon, of course would dive forward and knock the mage out of the way of her lightning bolt, while getting out of her own. The ground where they once were sizzled like some kind of stir fry, as the chunks of cobblestone that lined the streets were cooking like one. “Shit, was that lightning mage really going this all out over this war? We’re in over our heads if there’s so much lightning going on that it can harm a friendly member,” Aeon would remark about it.
 
Still there was no use in complaining now, they would have to survive on the battlefield live through some more combat in the town of falling lightning. Nothing was good about the situation they were in, except that they may get recognition for their work. “Okay, so our best bet is to fight Savage Soul one at a time if possible,” she would say aloud. Though… if you speak of the devil he will come. From behind, she heard the spine chilling sound of laughter. Not friendly laughter, that generic evil laughter… about five voices. “That… that right there. This is the situation that I don’t like,” she would say. The mages would start charging up various spells with magic circles appearing by their hands, and by their feet, and over their heads. Aeon would whip around, and look around, “I’ve got an idea, but this may require just the right timing.”
 
The mages would all start to throw spells at them and Aeon would throw up her hands, and speak, “Distance Grow!” this would cause the distance between them and the spells to quickly expand to a distance that would take a long time to traverse, “Alright, next is a little bit complicated,” she would state. She would run to the horizontal view of the spells moving really slow, and selected space that was just ahead of the spells’ spaces, and created a funnel that curved around back at them out of space. “Alright, release!” she would say, as the distance would snap back to normal, and the spells would inexplicably converge and whip around back at the mages, exploding violently in a rainbow of magical colors in a ball of light form. “Yes!” she would say with a happy look on her face, watching the five mages all collapse after the energy cleared. Aeon would feel surprisingly drained already and would turn back around to get to some cover so she could rest.
 

Abbigail smiled, glad her words had gotten through to the other mage. It was time for them to stand up against the jerks at savage skull, as a team! But they couldn't manage it alone, since they were only newbies, really. Suddenly she felt herself being shoved to the side, tackled by the other young mage she had just been talking to. She was going to complain, until she saw the lightning crash down where she was just a moment ago. With her eyes wide, she let out a shuttering, shaken sigh. "W-woah... Thanks, miss... What's you're name anyway?" She asked, still a bit shocked at what had just happened. "Yeah, I guess this war's getting really intense if this much force is necessary."

What the girl said made sense. It would be best to single out members of savage skull and take them out using team work; the problem sprung up in Abby's mind immediately though. Dark guild members probably would stick to groups so that they could overwhelm anyone they came across, unless they were really strong, which meant that if she followed that plan as it was they would probably still end up way over their heads in trouble. "That's a good idea, but they probably won't stay in less than a group of two... So we need to find a way to break up their teams, yeah?" She said, before she heard the cheesy bad guy laughter behind her. "oh... crap.."

Abbigail turned quickly and got ready to attack, picking up a large rock nearby and planning out an attack in her mind, when suddenly the mage she had allied herself with pulled off an amazing counter attack, making Abby feel incredibly inadequate as she just dropped the rock and stared in awe. Apparently this wouldn't be too much for a newbie, just Abby. She shook her head quickly though, knowing that she could do just as well.. maybe not so quickly, but Abby could get the job done when it came down too it. She just happened to excel more in one on one combat. "Damn... Well, whatever your name is, you sure are a freaking badass.... That was amazing!~ Hey, are you ok?" She asked as she noticed that the other girl was suddenly very tired looking. She noticed Aeon looking for somewhere to rest and grabbed the rock, chucking it throw a nearby weakened wall and then following through by widening the hole a bit with another nearby rock and a plank or two to keep it open and not collapsing. "Hey, in here!~" Abby shouted to Aeon, ducking into the collapsed building where she had made just enough room for a few people to fit in a little hollow and stay sheltered from the lightning and hidden for a bit from the dark mages.

After Daichi got hit by Naraku's attack, he said some things and took a drink from his water bottle in order to replenish some of his power. However, before he can do something like attack her, a mysterious man suddenly appeared close to Frederick in a surprising speed... the speed of light. His appearance made the pressure around the place higher. He seemed to possess a high level of magic power, something Daichi strongly felt. The young slayer knew he was going to interfere in the fight much like how Naraku did so he felt really annoyed. However, he didn't say anything to make his annoyance obvious and simply chuckled as if he didn't really care that much. "Bravo! I'm impressed. However, what you did to my friend here was not very nice. You need not know who I am although the odds are you probably don't know who I am, but rest assured that I will interfere in this battle one way or another. Oh and Frederik, get back up you pathetic wretch." When Daichi heard this, his eyes started to show much intensity. The ground surrounding him started to tremble a little bit as if showing the magic power he possessed. "I don't care a single bit about who you are. If you want to get involved into this fight, go ahead. I won't mind." After he said this, Daichi stared at the beaten Frederick who was in no position to get up due to his injuries. Naraku seemed to notice this as well, making his body vanish in an instant. It seems as if she transferred the man into a pocket dimension since it didn't really look like she killed him or something.

After that, Daichi stared at Mari to see if she's still alright. She seemed to be in the same position as she was after the hell queen released her powerful spell so there were no problems in her part. Daichi's body was still bruised and beaten for a bit though the water he drank lessened the pain a little bit due to the increase in strength so he can still fight. After a few moments, she pointed at the water dragon slayer as if she's about to say something. Daichi raised his head up as she did this, expecting to hear something surprising. "You, water slayer, you have given me a gift greater than you know. A gift that will destroy not your life, but everything you hold dear." When she said this, Daichi's heart skipped a bit. Everything stopped for a moment and turned gray due to the incredible shock the young slayer felt. He saw the faces of everyone he held dear which brought a lot of chills down his spine. When everything came back to normal, sweat started to drop from Daichi's head as he breathed heavily, constantly reminded by the images that he saw just a while back. "W-what do you mean... What are you trying to bring up?" Daichi said, his eyes wide due to the anger that started boiling around his body. He didn't want to see anyone he loves get hurt, and this woman is telling him that he gave her a gift that'll promote that to happen.  Is this true? He hoped it wasn't. After that, he heard Naraku say something to Mari afterwards, telling her that she's just weak and should leave. This made Daichi a lot angrier, punching the ground with all his strength. The force of his fist made cracks to appear from the spot he struck, rocks rocketing up due to the power. "If you say one more thing... I'm gonna shut that mouth of yours 'til it can't open!" The Water Dragon Slayer raised his fist from the ground, punching his other hand which made the dust on the ground around him to wind aside. A watery aura surrounded him afterwards, showing that he still has some fight to give. He stared at both the hell demon slayer and the mysterious man who just appeared, knowing that despite the amount of magic they have, he's not gonna back down.

Mari and Max were still gliding within the air above, his wings spread wide as they flurried against the wind with Max tugging on her back holding her up with all his strength as she keep her eye's down onto the ground. He noticed her all her attention was on the battle before them and only sighed at the sight of it, he didn't understand her reason to continue fighting, since they just downed that other dark mage Fredrick, along with how she returned to her normal self. The last time "Bloody Mary" came forth her last home was up in flames along with the death of dozens of people. If she stayed awakened, the battle would have been much worse for both sides, but it might have been Mari's want to protect was stronger then Mary's want to kill and that's how she regained control. Looking back down toward the ground it seemed that the newest challenger that spoke above both Mari and Daichi, seemed to be very confident in herself seeing how she spoke.

"As for you Fire Slayer, I suggest that you leave. Your ally here is perhaps a match, but you....Your Weak."

Both Mari and Max could hear the faint voice of the mysterious mage that just arrived and Max can feel Mari's body tensing up. With that Max started to raise their altitude trying to get her away from the fight.

"Drop me down there!"

Max's eyes widened from not only her voice but what she said. She really going to risk her life on taking the chance and fighting this demon, but it might not be for what she's said. Was it again for the reason to protect, fight along side Daichi, both of them might have a slight chance to defeat this beast. Max nodded.

"AYE SIRE!"

Max shouted taking a swan dive down straight toward the mysterious female mage. He increased his speed with every second, leaving streaks of broken wind at the tips of his wings through the sky and Mari's fists erupted with flames that covered her fists whole.

"Alright! Let me go from here!"

Mari shouted again, with Max nodding heading into a complete 90 degree angle straight ontop of the dark mage. And released Mari and heading off leaving her only to be noticed from her flaming fists.

"FIRE DRAGON'S!"

She shouted, as she clenched her fists, the balls of flames grew twice in size, lifting them behind her head she joins them together, creating a massively unique ball of fire. The ball can be seen from miles away and within seconds she was already down toward the ground.

"BRILLIANT FLAME!"

Thrusting her fists forward she threw the massive ball of fire on top of the mysterious mage colliding with both her and the ground, it erupted into a large explosion, casting away the ground itself from existence. Blasting everything around them away within a 360 degree radius outward with great force and scorching the ground beneath them and around them for 16 feet. Max watched from above the destruction that occurred knowing all to well that wasn't the end of it.

"Sunlight...?" It would be only moments, not even enough time for Aeon to successfully enter the small hut made for the two of them to defend them from the lightning. Suddenly the area was super illuminated, almost blindingly so. Still, it was suddenly daytime, and the darkness was no longer covering the area. The storm apparently done, perhaps just negated. Yet Aeon knew there was no longer any danger of being struck by lightning. "This is good, it's no longer dark, and that means we can see where the enemies are. The storm's gone and everything!" she would say with a gleam in her eye, probably from the sunlight.

A single Savage Skull mage was revealed in the sudden enlightenment of the area, forming out of the no longer existent shadows. Aeon would see the man forming from the aether and jump a bit, "Woah! That was super close." The mage would grunt a bit, and speak, "I can still kill you with my shadow, Pegasus Mage!" Aeon would squeak a bit as the man's shadow formed out of the ground as a series of fists. Aeon would stumble back and avoided the fists the best she could, only to get pummeled by a few of them, and hit the ground, panting. "Ohhh... I used too much magic earlier," she would groan, not so much stessed as upset with herself. She would start sitting up, and she would grip some loose debris from the ground, a small handful of dust, "I'll just have to use something a little more complex."

With that, she would throw the dirt at the man, obscuring his vision a bit. She would then roll to the side, and hop to a stand, then jump around to behind him. As if he had 360º vision, however, the Shadow Mage would shoot out a whip of shadows at Aeon, "That isn't going to work! I can see all of the shadows in the area if I try." Aeon would block the whip smacks with a confidence about her, "Looks like you aren't trying hard enough, friend." With that, Aeon had spoken the cue for her partner to strike, however she could. There was definitely a sufficient distraction what with the mage focusing on her.

Rubles came crumbling as a five figures stood up from the debris of stone and ash. Yes ash, as the barrage of lightning attacks was so intense that it incarcerated any material susceptible to heat. Even the zombified rune knights clothes got singed by the intense heat it generated. However, both Fiona and Alleria remained unscathed.  "It seems somebody turned on the fireworks." she said as she watched the dark clouds looming above Magnolia discharge bolts upon bolt of lightning. Most peculiar of all was that it seems to only strike down the wicked, meaning  dark mages. "Interesting, a variation of Fairy Law."  She grimaced at the thought of another wizard capable of casting such powerful spell.

She assessed her team, it seems that they are ok, other than a few burnt clothes, they were a-ok.  If it had not been for Fiona creating a barrier of energy at the last moment, they might have been obliterated while she and her summon might had been injured.  The only person she could think of capable of doing such a feat was the talented Lightning Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail. Speaking of which, she looked around at the semi-crater the lightning blast had create, as if looking for something. And there it is, or "He" is, the unconscious leader of Fairy Tail, his clothes was also singed, as was his skin. She was tempted to end his agony then and then. A smile crept her lips as she drew her sword, the death of a famous guild master under her belt would surely make her quite appealing to the Dark Lord she was trying to impress. As she walked towards the sprawled form of the guild master, something caught her eye. As soon as she got close to him, she hunched over the man who was face down on the dirt and tore off what ever remains of his tattered clothes. 

Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. The stretched an arm out to a spot on the grey haired man's shoulder, then tried to wipe away the dirt on his skin. "Well how about that?" said the green haired mage. There on his right shoulder was a mark, it resembled the insignia of house Kusanagi, the hollow burning sun. But this mark was only given to the male heirs of the main clan for it means that they would inherit the fate of leading the Kusanagi clan into greatness. Furthermore, side from his father and grand father, no other living relative has this mark. "Is he who I think he is?" She was lost deep in her thoughts when she was rudely interrupted again. There was a bright flash followed by a loud sound and intense heat. She and Leo was saved this time by her armor's magic warding, activating immediately when Fiona who a bit far off, failed to create a defensive barrier for her master.

"Alleria-Sama, are you alright?" cried the sashiki-warashi as she run towards her masters side. "Yeah im alright, no thanks to you." she said while giving her a cold look. Seeing as how her summon tensed up she spoke again "Nah, dont fret a bout it, I'm alright so no harm done." Light returned back into her summons eye as she was glad to hear that her master did not bear any ill will. "Oh and I remember, your time is almost up right? I think I know what my wish would be. " With a deep breath she said "I wish that you bring this man to a safe place where his wounds can be treated." The little girl in front of her began to glow brightly as she spoke "As you wish." And in an instant Fiona and the unconscious Guild Master was gone. Her eyes shone as she watched the retreating ball of light, racing off until it was outside the walls of Magnolia.

"Now to make my get away."  And just as she and her three lackeys were about to move out a flying ship broke through the dark clouds high above. Another enemy re-enforcement had arrived. Just when she thought they were wining. "Better hide this thing before they can sense it... Nekoshiki!" There was a puff of smoke and appeared a black bunny like creature. The creature pounced at her and began to lick-assault her. "Ok, ok. Im happy to see you too." The creature released its grip on her and asked with beady eyes "What do you need master?" Alleria showed him the staff and said "I need you to keep this safe, can you do that?" Nekoshiki's eyes went wide and its mouth began to salivate "Master, where did you get such delicious looking staff? I wanna eat it right now! But can you take off that distasteful looking rag first?" She shook her head and said "No, if we do that then ill be alerting every dark and light mage of its presence." The creature looked disappointed when it said "Oh ok master. Im Ready when you are."  She handed Nekoshiki the staff and once she did, the creature placed it in its mouth. It was amazing how the long adorned staff seemed disappear, the creature was not more than a feet over but it still managed to swallow the meter and a half long staff. Once the deed was done the creature spoke. "Is that all master?" she nodded her head and with that the creature stuck its tongue out at her and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Then she used her armor's ability to look like a rune knights armor and hoping against all hope. Marched straight towards the nearest city exit.

Chelvaric sucked in the last air and burped. He felt the energy flowing through him. He was only half recovered as the guild spell had destroyed nearly all his magic. It was a miracle he had enough left to fly up here.  His wounds were stingy but he wouldn’t run away from this battle yet. He felt Naraku’s presence down on the ground there and she felt greatly stronger than ever. He couldn’t go away after done so little. The sky suddenly started to light up as the night changed from darkness to light. What was this. First it was morning then night and now day again. This battle was getting stranger by the moment.  
 
He looked at the ship that was floating above the city. Defying  all the other destroyed air ships.  As it was bigger and stronger then all of them.  The person who was piloting was either crazy or very skilled as it had done some looping’s.  It was interesting enough for Chelvaric to be his next target.  He saw some people jumping from the ship and he started to fly towards it location but then on his height. As he approached he heard the canons blazing. They were doing some heavy damage on the ground. And the savage skull mages were near defeated. Only the presence of lich was standing out and was in a heavy fight with some other tremendous power.
 
He finally reached the ship and looked down on it. the ship seemed nearly abandoned. He saw three dots down on the deck of it. one was piloting the ship and the others were firing a canon it seemed. He saw the blue Pegasus sign on the romp of the ship. Weren’t they destroyed. How the hell did they come back. But if they just came in they didn’t hear the cyan mage message. Chelvaric smiled as he realized that. This is the perfect place for his amusement again. he pulled up his scarf over his face and prepared to descent. I will show for a last time the strength of my power. Even if I am hurt right now.
 
Blood dripped from his boody and felt down. maby somebody of those three had felt it on them or not. It was something he would never know but he started to decent straight towards the ship. Like a hawk flying after his prey. His wings pressed against his back. the ship came closer and closer as he started to speed up very fast. He was ten yards away from the ship when he dispelled his wings and made a spin around. His feet front forward as they hit the wood of the ship. Because of the tremendous power he had built up by the fall the floor broke half and the planks splintered. Tough the ship was strong enough to not completely crash trough. The ship shook from the litel earth quack and chelvaric stood up and started to talk.
 
“I claim this ship for savage skull. Those who are here can fight me. If I win I’ll taste you’re blood but you’ll survive this battle. If you win you may know who I am and ask anything you want from me. Now let us begin the fun. ”, Chelvaric said as he smiled he hadn’t looked up yet.  But when he did he got the shock of his life. He saw Freya standing sick near the bow while Eternia was holding the steer. What, what happened. Why were they on the ship of blue Pegasus. This isn’t happening. He didn’t want to hurt them. why were they here. He quickly pulled his scarf even higher. They shouldn’t be able to recognize him like this he hopped.
 

“What are rune knights doing on the Pegasus ship!!”, Chelvaric screamed out in anger. Why did this had to happen. Why were they here. And why did fate bring him here. Those answers may be never answered. Was this the moment that his clone talked about. Was this the moment he would kill them? NO he said he wouldn’t lay a hand on them. his eyes were filled with despair and fear. That was the start of the last fight of the savage skull demon.

The moment of him kneeling and the moment that suddenly stood behind Naraku came as quickly as the blink of an eye. But still Frederick had the feeling some mometns had passed between them, as if he was floating somewhere. But that didn't matter now. From out the corner of his eyes he could see the dragon slayers facing off with Naraku. Whom in turn feeled alot stronger then she did before. She had a new power, a familiar power.
'Hmm, I guess my appreciations is in order.. so thank you for saving my hide... champion...'
The power he felt was the same darkness that flowed through him, it was the power of The Lichborne. The dark entity who was fighting some other powerful enemies somewhere in the city. The Frederick noticed Minato, still standing carefuly doing nothing. Still waiting.
This was Frederick's que to leave, he had to gather up the remaining forces and head for the gate.
'Naraku, please finish them for me...'

After those words he dissappeared into a black fading mist, away from the battle and humiliation he had met by losing to those two mages. But he knew, if Blue Pegasus just stayed away. Dead as they should have been. Then he had won, then he could feast on their souls. And retrieve the artifact himself.
But Frederick was smart, he had prepared a failsave for if a situation like this occured. And that was Alleria, an harbinger. One of the most powerful dark mages that he knew of. And if all went according to plan. Then she had the Staff of Nim, the powerful artifact that laid under the Catherdral. The only thing now was to meet her at the gate of Magnolia and head back to the guild.

On his way he grabbed a cloak of a dead mage from his guild, and swung it over his body. So that he was once more covered in the familiar safe feeling he always had when wearing one.
He hurried towards the exit of the town, picking up some of the remaining dark mages, whom were for some good reason still looting some of the shops and houses. Till he had once again a small group following him through the town, 7 dark mages and one of his own black knights.
It was not much, but it was enough to fight his way out at the gate if it was necesarry. They were supposed to be only a distraction anyway.

Once arrived near the gate Frederick and his men could see that it wasn't heavily guarded. Only a few Rune Knights were standing at the entrance. They appeared not that strong, and could easily be overwhelmed by the gathered troops of Savage Skull members.
But there was also something odd, there was a group of Rune Knights that walked towards the gate.
'Hmm that is weird, the Rune Knights should have all been in the city, trying to help people out. But these are not escorting anyone out'


OOC: Hey Alleria I hope this is enough to encounter you here at the gate.

Neko had just finished healing a bit and Herro started to say thank you. Neko was going to tell him that there was no need when he felt it. Neko had felt this energy before. Not only here in his home but quite a few times training with his goddess. It was a very old and dead feeling. Then he saw it. The death mage Lich. Neko had many reason's to fight and hate him. But he knew he'd out step it if he tried to fight him here. Neko was going to move when the dark mage's power grew and his form changed. Neko hadn't seen anything more terrifying in his life. It shook him to the core and then Heero stood in front of him. His stance was a defensive one. Neko had always been there for other's and done thing's for other's. Never had another person literally stared death in the face for him. But Heero seemed to even be shaky. Neko got a little worried but decided after this no matter what that they would need to talk. Neko wasnt sure how it would go but he's sure Heero needed to hear what he had to say. Then out of no where in the middle of all of the death and war a third power came into play. The pressure almost made Neko faint. He was a strong mage but this was a bit over the top for him. They told him to get going and that there was no need for the magic council. Heero had seemed mad. 

"Don't ever let me see you running errands for anyone who'd destroy our home again! You go back up there, and make sure none of those cannons CANfire! I probably won't be your Guild Master when this battle is over; but believe me when I say!!! This is what being a wizard of Fairy Tail means!!!" 


Neko was a bit sad because that wasnt what was going on but then he understood. Neko didnt even go there him self. He should have but didn't. But Heero was right. Neko would make sure that they couldn't fire. The new light mage drew his sword and literly turned it into day. Neko had never seen a reverse power of his own so he was a bit taken back. Neko stood for a minute then shook off his surprise. Neko walked in front of Heero and Shu to look the death mage in the face. It terrified him to death but Neko had to be brave. He gulped and started speaking 

Im going to tell you two thing's and only once.One: You have no right to bear the title of Night-bringer. Night is a beautiful woman and she won't let you keep that title. and Two: This is Fairy Tail! You made the wrong mistake of picking this fight! Heero maybe one person but in one person is the ENTIRE power of our guild. He is never alone and he know's that! So you can try to make him feel alone and scared but you will fail. Fairy Tail's bond is the strongest light you will ever see! You will regret every challenging us!  






Neko's voice was in almost a scream and he had tear's in his eye's. He turned to Heero grabbed his shoulder and looked him dead in the eye.

You have 3 thing's to finish here. One. Make sure he will regret calling him self Night-bringer. I cant do it my self. You know I would if I could. Two: Dont let him beat you. He beat's you he beat's us all. You have all the power of Fairy Tail remember that. and Three: Come back alive. We all need you.


Neko didn't show affection much because he was always scared. He didn't like being messed with or picked on but Neko couldn't help it. Neko hugged Heero one last time for fear he might not come back. The thing's he said scared Neko. Neko grabbed his sword and ran. He headed for the hill's as fast as he could. If it wernt for the day bringer Neko would have gotten there quicker but oh well. Neko was out of breath and tear's still stung his eye's. He lifted his sword to the sky and let the silver star light breach the day sky and gather at his sword. Neko's eye's where locked on the Magic Council's fortress. 

Scatter! Let the wrath of the fairies destroy you!


Neko swung his sword and let the sharp beam of star energy cut through the cannon's. Neko jumped around slashing and destroying everything he could. All of the rune knight's where gone so it made his job a lot easier. Neko stopped to take breath on the very top of the fortress. Neko pressed the ear piece in his ear. 

Spade get your ass up here! Where going to take this damn thing down now!

Spade's nose bubble popped abruptly as he quickly awoke from his sleep and rubbed his eyes. "Is it time from breakfast ?" He asked stupidly as he looked up at silver and yawned as he slowly jumped onto his feet and jumps to the top of the tower and stand next to him and interlocks his arm with his - Ready Partner?
