What? A Rhapsode fight rewrite? Yep, I wanted to do this after reading the Bakugou vs Tokage chapter and being less than impressed with that fight. Now I do wanna keep the spirit of it, but I’m going to be altering it.
Now this takes place after Bakugou rescues Jirou because to be honest everything up to that point I think was perfect. And without further ado, lets dive in.
Thoughts
Special powers
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!
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!
Do you think splitting the Spriggans was done because there was no way to write FT beating them back as remotely believable even for Mashima poor writing? Honestly the Alvarez arc should have just been Zeref and the Spriggans attack. Not a two million strong army. That way each Spriggan can be so strong that it takes entire guilds and the team work of several of FT best just to defeat them. It was unbelievable that only the Spriggans out of a continental empire. Could match the mages of Fiore.
Yeah, there should be no way for FT to take them all at once. And I admired that it was split up, because I thought we would get some cool character development.
I actually liked the lead on Caracole island with Marin and it showed there are mages that aren’t spriggans who can be a threat, but still taken down. Don’t have Brandish interrupt the fight, have Natsu and Gray beat Marin through teamwork. Not just cause it shows that while Marin can be a challenge, he’s not a threat and also foreshadow how good Gray and Natsu get along now vs when they start trying to kill eachother.
Then, Brandish solves the problem with the warning. Maybe have another spriggan like Wahl or Dimaria there to build them out as well and get bouncing off Brandish (Because she doesn’t really interact with that many spriggans cause she was primarily solo). Ajeel’s chase while kinda stupid in how OP he looks in comparison to how he is later, is also a good show, but include another spriggan in that like Invel or August who could be assisting. And instead of this big heroic save, have it be a slinking away with Mest getting them to Sorano. We could have Natsu, Erza, and Gray argue that could’ve ended it, but Makarov likely point out they are in enemy territory. Even if they could win (which I think Team Natsu could likely do against Ajeel) they still have far more to worry about.
Then when it is wartime, instead of a “black carpet.” How about just the Spriggans and their squads. With FT and all guilds working together. Instead Gajeel getting Christina. Just say he’s here to get Bob’s support for the war. Then have the Rune Knights back them up. FT and the guilds can take the teams of 3 spriggans and the Rune Knights can fight the troops.
However, if I were to take it further than simply “FT vs Alvarez and make it Ishgar vs Alvarez.” After getting Makarov home, Gajeel’s former contacts from the Rune Knights drag them to be chewed out by the new magic council (introduce the wizard saints). You have people like Jura and Warrod who know and respect Makarov and would stand behind him. But they still chew him out on how because of FT’s actions the entire continent is doomed. And Hyberion and Wolfheim as well as the other members are going to rule that Makarov hand over Fairy Heart.
But then, all the guild masters they know come in, having been talked to by Gajeel and his group saying that, even if FT’s conflict starting this war, this is their continent and their home. They aren’t going to be pushed around and let a potential doomsday weapon fall into the hands of the black wizard. Have Mest bring up that it was Ft who defeated Balam and avenged all those brothers and sisters in arms of the Rune Knights who died from Jackal. That this fight is not just theirs, but now its time for them to do the same.
Then have the cool mobilizing of all the guilds to their destinations with Zeref’s and split them up into cool battles. Focus on the ship warfare at Hargeon in the south. With Wahl and weakness ships or Neinhart’s guards focusing on keeping him from needing to fight. Instead of just Fiore, hit that Island nation Caelum in the west and meet Ajeel’s flying forces and Zeref’s personal forces in a new location. Stalling Zeref from himing Fiore and maybe involving Ajeel and Invel bouncing off each other.
In the north have it focus on the cold environment and using it to their advantage with Irene messing things up. And if the mountain is sacred with history behind it, maybe have some people native to northern region with the rune knights or Lyon who grew up north know about Mt Zonia’s history too. Then with the West, have characters like God Serena, August, and Jacob take forever coming to the battlefield. And instead of destroying a whole countty’s guilds we don’t know about, how about stealth master Jacob get them in secretly to the Western front. Build up that they are looming threats. Maybe not only do they walk through some of the Rune Knights, but instead of all 4 of the gods meet them, why not Jura and Warrod. Then they fight and while they lose, they can fall back and warn FT. Have another stealth operation with Brandish’s squad as she has the teleportation mage Marin and you know they’re heading for Magnolia with only Freed and his Jutsu Shiki guarding Magnolia, with the B-tier members of FT knowing that they might have to step up and Makarov says that he’ll still fight.
Make this war feel bigger. Use your different front interestingly and not just be a back drop.
So this is a bit of a rewrite of the Dragon Cry movie, but seeing if it can actually be tied into the world of FT and the fact that I actually do want to explore the world of Stella. (This takes place in between Pergrande and Tenrou Island)
It opens Natsu and Wendy after getting chewed out by the magic council for the shit they did in Pergrande. While that happens, Lahar asks one of his men to go on a special mission involving Fairy Tail.
Once back FT everyone is discussing up coming S-Class Trials and Natsu meets all his other teammates and says Wendy should be on team Natsu.
Gray kinda thinks Wendy could be better off with a simpler team or mage who doesn’t take very intense jobs like Reedus or Laki, but Natsu says he wants Wendy on their team after seeing what happened in Pergrande.
Erza says they should all take a mission to show Wendy the type of work they do, and Gray has a job form, Catch the dark mage Velveno. Lucy remembers the request form because Gray showed it to her before she went to Acalypha.
They also notice that the bounty went up from 2,000,000 jewels to 4,000,000 jewels. Mainly because Velveno took on a few mages since his prison escape and defeated them. Gray eyeing Jet and Droy who accepted the mission while team Natsu went to Acalypha the find Lucy, and both of them were beaten
It cuts to Velveno meeting with a guy in a cloak named Chase, in this shantytown. Velveno asks if Chase has the goods and Chase says its out back.
Then team Natsu arrive and a lot of the criminals panic then go to attack them. Velveno is freaked out, and demands to see the “goods”, which turns out to be a magic cannon.
Eventually Velveno is defeated and Gray grabs Chase after he tried to flee.
Chase begins to beg to be let go, saying that he’s only a middle man, and not a dark mage. Gray questions what he’s talking about, but Erza continues to interrogate.
He says that the weapon came from Stella from an underground ring there, and begs to be let go or get a few years off his prison sentence. Before he can say more a group of knights from the Fiore military show up led by vice captain of the Fiore military, Riana
When Riana says that the Team will be paid like normal, Erza stops Riana and shows her the begging Chase and his confession and Riana orders the Team to wait while she brings this news to the king
It then cuts to Mercurius where magic knight Kama, is approached by Kamika and Casmos who know that today is the day that Kama became the captain of the Fiore Garou knights. He merely sulks away.
He enters the throne room where Toma Fiore is on a communication lacrima with Dalton
The king says that this is quite a pickle and says that he will contact Stella’s queen right away.
It cuts to the team entering the building with Natsu saying to Erza to remember that time he broke into save her.
They approach a room with Dalton in it and behind him a massive screen made of magic, projecting the king on it.
The FT mages are curious why they are even here and Dalton reveals that he man they caught was a middle man for a high-grade magic weapons manufacturer, that is located in Stella.
Dalton then makes another projector with the minister of magic in Stella on it. The minister is named Swan and she says that she, the king of Fiore and the queen of Stella have discussed the situation, Erza asking what this has to do with them.
Their job was to catch Velveno who was nothing more than a dark mage, but in doing so they discovered a lead that is potentially life saving.
Stella recognizes that this information would never have came to light without their help and that their monetary reward does not seem appropriate for their contribution, so the queen of Stella has arranged for them to have a vacation in the capital of Stella, Altair
The team all think it sounds fun, Erza and Gray happy for a break before S-Class trial, Lucy because Stella is a country with tons of knowledge on celestial spirits (Stella means star after all), and Natsu and Wendy gets a new area to look for their dragons
They make it to Stella’s capital and on their ride they are shocked by this giant crystal growing out of the ground. Their driver explains that it is Stellanium and type of crystal similar to lacrima only instead of holding magic it holds starlight
The team is dressed up all nice to meet the queen and are led there by Stella’s chief of staff, Doll. The queen of Stella is a woman named Sonya Stella. She is very happy to meet mages from the renowed Fairy Tail. Lucy is shocked that their popularity reaches other countries though the destruction caused in their recent years also reaches everyone.
Then enters two members from the number one guild in Stella, Master Zash Caine and Guild Ace Gapri
Gapri says hi to Doll, but addresses him as “Master Marcel”, but Doll glares saying that he doesn’t go by that name anymore and Gapri says “Captain Doll”
Gapri is gloating a bit saying that as the best guild in Stella they can ensure this will get done quick. Sonya says that she did want the FT team to meet the Zash and Gapri because they were the first to accept the job to find the weapon manufacturer
Natsu gets a little aggressive towards Gapri with Gapri saying that they’ll handle this easily and Zash’s eyebrow raising his eyebrow a bit. But Zash stops Gapri
Sonya says for the FT team to go at and enjoy Altair.
The group splits off with Erza, Wendy, and Carla going out to eat, with Wendy bonding with Erza and Erza telling her that regardless of her magic, Wendy could become a great mage and Wendy blushes.
Gray and Happy checking into their hotel, Happy loving how big the room is and Gray likes the fact that they get a great view of the castle
Lucy visits a key shop and is shocked by all the silver keys. The shop keeper is wowed by Lucy having gold keys and Lucy is bummed that they don’t have any gold keys. But the shop owner shows Lucy that keys aren’t the only thing they have and shows that they have weapons for Celestial mages and shows her a whip called the Fleuve d'étoiles
Natsu goes up to the Stella castle’s balcony and see they beautiful starry sky.
Zash meets Natsu up there and begins to talk. Zash asks if Natsu has any goals. Natsu tells Zash about his dream to find his father and that he’s a dragon. Zash then says that from what hes heard is that Natsu has magic related to dragons and Natsu explains that it’s Dragon SLayer Magic
Zash begins to look at Natsu and starts calling him a wild, untamed beast, who will just destroy this country like he’s known for
Natsu’s eyes glow and attack Zash and starts destroying the castle. Everyone tries to reel in Natsu when he moves the fight outside, but he seems to ignore their attempts
People are a little surprised to see that Zash’s normal strength is actually keeping up with Natsu
Gapri joins the fight explaining its Zash’s blood magic. He can circulate his blood in his body and charge it to increase his muscle activity
Doll tries to attack Natsu with his fire magic, but is shocked by Natsu being able to eat the flames and Doll has a small flash back to a shadowy figure and says that Natsu eating his flames and it reminds him of “that day”
Doll reveals his weapons under his clothing, two dolls named François and Catherine. Lucy realizing it’s similar to Bickslow’s magic. (Though the beams fired are red and not green)
Natsu actually uses brilliant flare and there is intense flames surging. Zash says he’ll get rid of the flames
He uses a blue jar-looking thing that absorbs all the flames. Zash says this container is special as it absorbs a magic and negates anything affected by the magic
Eventually Natsu suddenly calms down and curious what the hell happen, but he’s knocked out by Doll
The queen is disgusted, but Erza states Natsu would only do this if someone was acting antagonistic towards him or FT. Wendy remembering Pergrande saying that he would only do something like that if there was someone being miss treated.
Zash steps up to Doll and saying he did insult Natsu, but he didn’t say he wanted to fight he said he was surprised that he had such a destructive magic and it fits him. Natsu then threw the first blow.
Doll says regardless if Zash did goad Natsu, Natsu still caused all this damage. The queen agrees to have Natsu put on trial, but for now he will be detained and the rest of the team placed under close watch
While people adjust, Zash says he must make a stop, but Gapri wants to follow Zash. Zash then looks Gapri in the eye and mind controls him to leave.
Cut to Zash entering a mine shaft where many people are constructing weapons, and a massive dragon skeleton. Zash then asks how is the Quartum project coming and someone complain that picking off the remains of the dragon is taking forever.
Zash asks one of his minions, Coordinator, how their progress actually is and she says that they still have to deal with powering of these things.
We find out that the Quartum are the “ultimate magic weapon” made of an alloy combining steel and Stellanium. The issue is that the energy source they wanted it to work on comes from Dragon slayer magic as it can power many things. Problem is no dragon slayer’s are in Stella so they’ve been picking off fossilized remains of a former dragon and siphoning off what magic they have left
Zash shows off all the magic he stole from Natsu and says that they can now make their army ahead of schedule and they already have a buyer set up
Cut to Natsu in prison who is still pretty baffled by what’s going on. While there he meets another inmate by the name of Mash, who originally had one of the biggest stellanium distribution stations until a few months ago. but he then found that after blanking out for a little bit he was under arrest as he had currently made several deals in transitions to noted dark guilds inside Stella.
Natsu asks why that’s weird and Mash explains that it was not something he had done in his entire life only that he had suddenly made tons of distribution orders in only a few minutes
He then states that Zash then investigated and concluded that these were in fact dirty deals. Natsu hears about Zash and realizes that something happened when he met Zash and because he remembers fighting him but doesn’t really remember why. And thinking about it a lot of the fight was hazy.
Mash asks if maybe they’re is something in common, but Natsu just hopes his friends are okay
It cuts to the FT members in their hotel room with a few guards around it
Gray and Erza both agree that this is bullshit, Lucy saying Natsu may be destructive, but he always did it with good intention. Happy says that Natsu still has some issues being insulted, but even so, this deliberate destruction seems way too odd
Then a guard comes in with a communication lacrima with the King on the line.
The king, surrounded by Arcadios and Kama, is outraged at what happened, but Erza begins explain that Natsu was fighting against a man named Zash who apparently talked to him.
Kama goes wide-eyed and asks if his name is Zash Caine. And when they confirm it all of the men in the throne room sweat.
Kama states that Zash is a traitor against Fiore. Suddenly we get a flashback showing Zash as the magic knight head and how Kama was his vice captain. The flashback explaining that Zash has the power of mind control by making direct eye contact, but the issue with this is the mind control will only last for about five minutes, then the person who was mind controlled will forget most of his actions during those five minutes and completely forget a minute before getting controlled, essentially erasing Zash’s moment of eye contact
Toma says he’ll call Sonya. With the team thinking this is bad, but given they’re still being watched they gotta be careful on how they act.
Lucy says they could sneak into the prison where Natsu is being held, but Happy notes that might be hard while under lock and key.
By saying that, Lucy whispers in Happy’s ear that she has a plan and explains it. We see that her plan is to distract the guards with her gold key. As Stella is known for all of its silver key shops she’ll blow the guards away with actual zodiac
While the guards are completely awestruck, Happy then sneaks out in ninja mode
Cutting to Doll who’s brushing his dolls hair remembering some of the fire that Natsu made. Sonya then is called by Toma and she feels like this is a personal attack because in the last 10 years, Zash has been a hero.
Doll even vouching for him as the master of his former guild, and that it’s the best guild in the country.
The king however points out that no stories of Zash ever reached this country or any others. Doll takes that as an insult saying that just because Fiore’s mages are known internationally for their exploit doesn’t mean that Stella is any lesser than them.
But Arcadios interjects saying that he literally has never been published in either the news or weekly sorcerer. She might deliberately be hiding his whereabouts. Doll and Sonya are a little shook especially when they’ve had interviewers come down and did see Zash in action. Kama says Zash has mind control, probably used it to help cover his tracks.. Doll say they’ll bring in Zash for questioning.
Cutting to Zash who’s talking to the buyer, Bluenote, and he asks why that artificial army that they ordered hasn’t shown up, especially after all the money they’ve poured in. Zash says that the Quartum army will be finished ahead of schedule, thanks to recently aquiring a sum of dragon slayer magic.
Bluenote says that’s good because his Master has a fondness for lost magic. Zash doesn’t care about their interest just that it keeps up revenue
Coordinator, the developer of armor, and Cannon, developer of firearms, are shocked how well Natsu’s magic is working. Zash ends the call, saying that he has his inside a man looking over Natsu
It cuts to a man in the Stella prison who is smiling making sure to edit the reports of Natsu’s detainment so that they all avoid mentioning Zash. We learn the guard is named Cream and he goes to check on the screaming Natsu who claims this is wrong.
Cream checks on them but while doing so, Happy sneaks into the prison
Natsu and Mash are yelling, about this. Cream walks up to their cell and tells them to shut up. Natsu says that whatever is going on they want to talk to that Zash guy. Cream laughs saying that Zash is the most trusted man in all of Stella next to Doll and Sonya.
Cream uses a little bit of fire magic to shoot Mash in the nose. Natsu tries smashing against Tthe cage yelling at Cream.
Happy arrives, finding the floor that Natsu is on and sees Cream threatening Natsu. Saying that with Zash on their side and the stuff that Natsu did, he’ll most likely get sent to Black Vox mage prison if this is considered an international crime but as a national crime here in Stella he might get executed.
Happy yells out that this is wrong and Cream shoots at Happy. Happy throws a key at Natsu’s cage which Mash grabs and passes it to Natsu to get his bindings off. Cream shoots Mash through the shoulder, and Natsu busts out of prison yelling that he’ll make Cream pay for abusing the people around him
Then it cuts between team FT feeling down and hoping Happy is okay, then cutting to Doll arriving at the guild of Gapri and Zash, demanding to see Zash. Gapri questions why is he even bothering Zash is a hero.
Doll says he wants to talk to Zash because of information coming from Fiore. Gapri is angered by this saying that Fiore’s words are just slandering Zash’s name because they are jealous that Zash is as strong as he is.
Gapri and Doll see that Zash is on the top floor. Zash says he knows why Doll is here, and he’s already taken action. Gapri is shook by this yelling for Zash to explain this, but Zash shows he’s just a thought projection.
Gapri begins to tear up as he gets flashes of Zash becoming the new guild master and filling him with the idea that Gapri needs to care about himself if he wants to be a great me and needs to understand that everybody else is also out for themselves and that you need to know how to survive in a world like that if you wanna ab strong
Gapri cries, gets on his board and super speed’s to the prison saying all this bad stuff happen the second that Natsu showed up.
Natsu beats up Cream, but then sees that Gapri has entered the area. Mash tries to tell Gapri that Natsu isn’t A bad guy but Gapri thanks it’s only natural that to criminals brought in by Zash have bonded.
Natsu and Gapri fight until they are interrupted by Doll. Doll hugs Gapri telling him its over and that the evidence is overwhelming and Zash must be found. All of the FT mages are released, Doll saying that they should stay here, but Erza says they’ll come too.
Doll says it’s a violation, but Erza says that if Zash is a former Fiore mage, then he is their responsibility and regardless of what country they’re all part of the same system so they should work together to clean up this mess.
It cuts to Fiore where the King has Kama go out to Stella with some troops because they used to work with Zash in the magic knight division
The group is using Natsu and Wendy’s noses to locate the mineshaft that the manufacturers are using. Zash is alerted to this and tells Coordinator to shut off the elevator and handle it while he finishes up the Quartum Army
The group of mages are surprised when they enter the first floor of the minds and see that there’s tons of holes in the walls, Coordinator getting on a loud speaker, saying that if they want to make it to the next level will have to get past one of their new items on their manufacturing list.
Out of The holes comes tons of people on boards similar to Gapri’s and everyone tries to push back. Gray notices that there are Lacrima on the bottom of the boards and that they should aim for them.
Lucy uses Sagittarius, Erza flight armor, and Wendy even gives them the vernier to increase speed
They make it to the next floor where they need to deal with a rabid dog that is being controlled. And Lucy test out her new whip on it.
Eventually getting past that Gapri gets anxious and bolts ahead of everybody else. It then shows a smoking Zash who begins to think about how he’ll have to start up all over again after this. Cutting to Kama heading for Stella.
A flashback shows that Zash found The Eclipse Gate inside the Royal Palace. Kama confronted him and Zash revealed his believe in the world that everybody is focused on themselves and he’s just doing the same.
Kama questions how he’ll do that, Zash explaining that in history three things shape everything: intelligence, money, and weaponry. With his knowledge he’ll obtain all that and he’ll be able to survive in this world
Kama and Zash fight, Kama yelling that surviving by condemning everyone else is bull crap, but when it looks like Zash will win, Kama cut Zash underneath his eye blinding his mind control ability. After the fight Kama awoke and learned Zash escaped and Kama was prompted to The captain of the magic knights the flashback ends as Kama sayys he’ll finish everything with Zash.
Coming back to the floors, Gapri is on the third floor, and he doesn’t see anybody but then starts getting hit by something screaming about how his ear hurt.
The rest of the mages find Gapri’s body, and then find out what this floor is there is a super powered sound system releases high blasts of sound magic on this floor. The game is to shut it off before they all die.
Gray makes a set of headphones out of the ice to fight against the sound waves and cuts off the system, giving them to the final floor. Coordinator saying she’ll have to stall them. While Zash boots up the Quatron army
Erza fights Coordinator, while Gapri zooms past them all, with Natsu and the others following behind, but on the way through the tunnel to where the dragon skeleton is being keeped, several guards led by Cannon burst out of the wall and ambush all of the mages.
Doll says he’ll deal with him and Gray takes the smaller guards
Doll’s fight is brutal with Cannon trying destroy his François and Catherine, but Doll always steps in front of each shot at the dolls. He refuses to let his daughters die as he gets shot showing in a flashback a dark mage did battle with him and his guild when he was the master of it and called Marcel, then watched his daughter die from burns. Trying to save them with human possession magic
He admits that he will always protect them as that is the job of the father. Cannon calls him an idiot, but notices the ground cracking above him, Cannon realizes every time Doll shielded his daughters, the dolls fired a beam of magic at the top of the cave that already had holes in it and weakened it to the point it collapsed
Erza eventually defeats Coordinator by revealing the flaw in her “ultimate armor” and that’s the scythe it’s throwing leaves her completely open. Natsu, Wendy, and Lucy run after Gapri.
Gapri sees Zash and demand answers. Gapri feels betrayed after what Zash had done, but Zash mind controls Gapri to kill Natsu and the others.
Lucy and Wendy with the help of Happy and Carla shatter Gapri’s board
Zash also tries to get Erza, but that is stopped by Erza’s artificial eye. When he sees that there are mages of her caliber here and that Gapri’s mind control is wearing off, he activates the Quartums.
Zash escapes while everyone else deals with the Quartums and Natsu goes to take out Zash, who is escaping with a few Quartum samples so that he can sell them to Bluenote and for compensation he’ll use their clout in the underworld to help him jump start his next buisness. He also is seen planting something inside the roof of the shaft.
Natsu confronts Zash and Natsu wants to fight. They fight eventually bring them to the face of the rotted dragon. Natsu is curious about this and Zash says that the Quartrums were made form this. That this land was once covered by invading dragons who sought to the flower humans and now that wrath will be turned into weapons.
Natsu and Zash fight, with Zash’s full blood doped up form activating. Natsu tries to avoid the mind controlled by wrapping and scarf around his eyes. With Zash’s power and Natsu’s handicap it’s going to be tough and eventually the scarf is knocked off.
Before he can mind control Natsu, Gray jumps up behind him and freezes over his eyes. Thus, changing the fight.
Finally, Zash is on the ground but declares his drive to save himself and activates the bomb he was planting to the roof intending to cave in everybody but himself.
Cutting to the Fiore magic knights and Stella knights, they get a report. The mission has gone south with Zash escaping, but Kama says that he may know where Zash is going, remembering the only sample of Zash’s DNA they found was from the cut Kama gave him near a private dockyard.
In the mineshaft everyone escapes with the help of Gray and Lucy
Zash is limping away, as result of using all of his blood doped up form his body is somewhat burnt out. He remembers his first start into becoming an arms dealer after defecting.
Kama finds Zash with The army and before Zash can take control of anybody. He is defeated by Kama.
The arc wraps up with all of the FT mages being thanked and the fact that in this world and they need to stand united. With Natsu saying he was glad this vacation helped him train for the S-Class trials
It cuts to Bluenote who tlls Ultear that a lot of money they just wasted on the Quartum progect, but Ultear says that for their upcoming plan they’ll just have to bring in ll their sub guilds. Bluenote gets a call from Zancrow who says that he finally got his hands on the last “Key”
When the FT mages return home, they are surprised by a new face, Mest Gryder, but people seem to act like they’ve meet him before. Except for Mystogan and Makarov
So yeah this was my other attempt at world building and story writing, hope you like it, any criticism welcomed
Okay I’ve gotten a lot of questions regarding the celestial spirits in my rewrite. I’ve told this origin, this idea that I came up with to @ac-fairytail and now it’s time for me to release it in full. Now this is just the origin of the spirits, nothing to do with the individual celestial spirit mage character arcs and theor history. Though it seems likely I’ll give the celestial spirits a post like my Dragon Lacrima arc.
So with out further ado here we go....
In the beginning there was only gods like Ankherseram and Chronos. They all contributed to making the universe, things like the elements, time, space, and life were made.
The Celestial King was the god the cosmos and he filled the black skys with his own creation from his magic, stars
The universe became a canvas, with the king creating stars to form clusters and galaxies. Then over time when he filled the sky, he decided to take the randomly placed stars and make drawings out of them
He found something strange with all the stars that were drawn together, they began to resonate with each other, have some kind of magical feedback
It created the first spirit, Capricorn. The king was so pleased with his creation he decided to make 11 more, and he was surrounded by his work and spent many years together with them in a “realm” (It’s referred to as cosmos and space, but it’s almost like a detached dimension, something that all gods kinda have, like the Yakuma exist in their dimension where it’s one big battlefield. Gods really don’t exist in our world, because then we could see them from like an observatory)
Then one day, he found out that there had grown a whole people who appreciated his work and worshipped it, known as the people of the stars who lived in Alakitsia
The King appeared to them from his home and said that he was so pleased that people loved his creations. But the people of the stars then begged for the help of the king because the mighty dragons would eat them all
The king was a little hesitant, he loved the humans, but he did not want to have his spirits in the human world. If they were to run out of magic and vanish from this world, he could never recreate them
But the people begged for his help and the spirits refused to let those who loved them so much die. The people of the stars said that they will use their magic to tether the spirits and make sure they don’t die
Soon there was a ritual held and 12 mages helped for the 12 celestial spirit keys, the first keys.
They weren’t just a sign of how to open the gate to a new realm, but a symbol of their bonds
The spirits fought and helped the humans and eventually the king felt such joy, He wanted every human to enjoy his spirits, but due to the ritual the keys made could never be duplicated and the zodiac could never be summoned by more than 12 people. If the keys broke, they could still be “Reborn” but they would appear anywhere in the world where starlight touches
The king then tried to create more spirits, ones that were more able to serve a beneficial function, unlike the zodiac who were more like warriors
These would be like Lyra who could sooth people with music, Crux who could scan the spirits entering the human world, etc.
But the reason he made the new “silver key” generation like this was when he created a spirit that could be accessed by anyone and was as strong as the zodiac. This failed and created the only “black key” Ophiuchus.
Ophiuchus was almost an abomination, the first in this new generation, but trying to be a zodiac at the same time, and it couldn’t be either. It was its own thing
But Ophiuchus held to grudge. Ophichus was happy that they could be a step in finding a way for more humans to work alongside spirits, but that said it wanted a key to fall to earth, Ophiuchus was still a spirit and it would work with the humans hand in hand, even if it wasn’t a zodiac or a silver spirit.
So its black key was made.
Eventually from the error with Ophiuchus, the Celestial Spirit King made these new “smart-tool like” spirits that could serve beneficial functions and have mass produced keys.
So that’s the origin of the celestial spirits. Hope you enjoy!
So this is another original arc that I thought up and thought “hey I’ll write it and see how it goes”. This arc would take place between Avatar and Alvarez, also if you were unaware, this is Black Vox
After the events of Avatar, there are a lot of Avatar branch guilds getting rounded up by legal guilds and Rune Knights. But due to the massive influx of prisoners, the Rune Knights have issued a request to all legal guilds in the continent
The job is to help oversee a massive transfer of prisoners. Gray and Natsu sign up for the job after seeing how much it pays because after being gone for a year, Natsu spent all his savings
The two then actually make Warren come with them because Warren’s telepathy would be really useful
When they get to Era they find that it is packed with a lot of legal mages, one of which is Millianna from Mermaid Heel. Warren ntes big name legal mages like Bomb Sentence from Gramlush a guild in Iceberg, Reisha Whiteday from Hound Holy a guild in Minstrel, even Chrisack from Dullahan Head, natsu saying he remembers that guy from the games. They then are addressed by Doranbolt.
Doranbolt says that all the of them will be overseeing a transfer, but like many low-level rune knights, they will be riding in the same window-less transport vehicle due to needing to hide the exact location of Black Vox
But before any of that, they must go through a screening process to determine if they have any malicious intent
If they do, they will be held in questioning and likely punished with jail time. Everyone seems pretty okay with that.
They will also be assisted by a Rune Knight division lead by division commander, Katja and one of her squad leaders is Kageyama
For added security they also include councilman and wizard saint Baum Sancti
Natsu is shocked to see he and Kageyama are working together. But Kageyama just tells Natsu to can it
It then cuts away to a strange vehicle being controlled by a group called the Five Bridge Familia, their leader named Shake is currently torturing a man
(^Guy is Shake, he’s from FT ice trail, but wasn’t given a name) Along with Shake is Dyst
The man that is being tortured is revealed to be Torch Endeavor, warden of the Black Vox prison
It cuts to the transport of criminals with Millianna trying to make small talk with Gray, Natsu, and Warren. She says she took this job because she though her magic would come in handy if any prisoners escaped. She also says she wants to impress Mermaid Heel.
Gray just says he wants cash for the job so he can start financing some money to find the book of END
But Natsu points out that Zeref has it, but they both agree that since both their paths cross they’ll work together in destroying the book and zeref
Warren is cowering, unable to understand how these two are so calm especially when talking about Zeref.
When they are let off the transport they are surprised at how big the prison is. Upon entering the prison, they meet the Head Jailer, Grog Foto
Grog walks up to Katja and whispers to her that Warden Torch hasn’tt arrived
The Wizard Saint will take the back, waiting at the entrance and watching it with two guards to make sure no one makes it to the doorway
Grog explains the layout of the prison to the Rune Knights and Mages. What they are standing in is the “first layer” of Black Vox. This is known as the entrance layer, it’s thin and mainly exists as the last layer of the prison. The second layer is known as the facility layer. In the facility layer they keep all the necessary’s for the staff including things like filing room, cafeteria, and, most importantly, weapons storage room. The third layer is the guard layer. This is where all the guards stand to watch viewing the “core”. The core is where all the prison cells are kept.
Grog says that they are on the Central pathway which goes through all the layers directly to the core. Their job as mages for hire is to watch them while they are in the second layer
When the central pathway goes through the second layer it goes right through the check in facility where all checking in prisoners are given a black seal on their thumb. This seal is made from the same material used to make guild marks however, it’s capable of tracking and knowing if a prisoner is inside black vox.
When a prisoner is released then they get the mark removed.
The transportation goes as you would expect. All the prisoners waiting in line and not much happening. Warren picks up on one guy in line and Warren alerts people that The prisoner thinks they can make a break for it here. So Gray just moves into position to scare him.
Some of the already captured prisoners are seen, including Kain Hikaru, Ivan Dreyar, Erigor, and Bora
Bora is in his cell mopping about how he doesn’t deserve a 25 year sentence. Sure he dealt in human trafficking, but he do anything bad to the girls physically. He gave them food and water.
While this is going on, the Five Bridge Familia vehicle arrives blasting through the rock face and towards black vox and homing in on it.
The prisoners are all about to be put into their cells, but when Grog hears about this he tells all the Rune Knights to start to fall back into the guard layer, Natsu curious how they found this place.
Grog and a few jailers remain and speak to Shake over the loudspeaker. They are here to pick up their Master Drum Bee. Shake also reveals he has the warden captured.
Grog freaks out slightly, but then opens the door saying if he gives them Drum Bee then they return the warden. When Five Bridge Familia enters, they return Torch, but after Drum is released.
(^ Drum Bee)
When Drum is freed, Natsu and Gray are shocked to see Drum is a giant like the ones from Sun Village. Drum then blasts away Grog telekinetically and recaptures Torch.
Drum says that he’ll take the whole prison as compensation for imprisoning him. Dyst uses the control panel to open up all the prisons. Grog however, flees and activates a lockdown.
While in the core, Drum laughs and makes a giant offer to the prisoners, who wants to be one of his “sons”. Five Bridge Familia refers to Drum as father.
Many prisoners are confused and Drum states that he can now go off and take over the underworld, even overthrow the entire Magic Council.
While he monologues, Arlock yells at Drum, stating it is blasphemy to say he should lead the world. The only true lord is Zeref. Drum then uses his telekinesis to hurl Arlock into a wall.
Drum states that Zeref doesn’t matter to him, a true ruler is one who rules actively, one with a firm hand, like a father. Zeref is just a relic who never led his followers. And from what he remembers from Tartaros when the Seis were released, his demons have fallen.
Shake says Drum is right. Things have changed since Drum’s imprisonment, but now they can conquer like they should’ve, instead of Balam.
Ivan laughs, saying that they must all be fools. If they had the power, why didn’t they take charge when Balam was around? Well as Ivan puts it, they’re strong enough to compare to Balam, but with the fall of Avatar and now the gapping power vacuum Five Bridge Familia can rule the underworld.
Drum asks how Ivan could help with that and Ivan says he knows much and especially about a great magic power. Drum agrees to let Ivan join him saying he can be of use.
Listening to this, Torch tries to flee, but Drum restricts his movements. He orders Torch to tell him where his ultimate weapon, the Collect Beam 999’s, is. Torch refuses, but Drum uses his telekinesis to shatter Torch’s leg. Torch reveals where specifically the weapon storage is and Five Bridge Familia begins to break through the wall
Cut to, Natsu asks what the heck is wrong with Grog and Grog says that this is something he expected. Drum wouldn’t leave without pulling a stunt like this. Gray and Katja are curious why then would he do this.
Grog explains that the lockdown seals off the core from the other layers, but the dark mages will likely break through it in a hour.
But there is a failsafe installed. At the very bottom of the guard layer is a magic device called “The Blackout”, when activated, anyone in the core with the Black Vox mark on their thumb while he targeted and zapped with a magic that will knock them out. Problem is it is on the bottom floor of the layer where no one is stationed.
He also states the staves they carry are binding magic staves, able to catch the prisoners, but there’s a lot of prisoners who can shatter the binding. Katja suggests this, her Rune Knights and mages will work with the jailers, but a small squad will go with Grog to activate the Blackout.
The squad is Kageyama’s squad, but Natsu volunteers to go with them because he knows that he can act as extra muscle to the group. Kageyama calls that BS, but Natsu points out that he beat the winners of the GMG so he can take a few criminals.
Gray interjects, saying if Natsu is strong then why won’t he back them up fighting the prisoners, Natsu says if no one protects the squad and they get ambushed then it’s likely all the Knights, Jailers, and Mages could needlessly die.
Natsu does end it by saying it’s in good hands if Gray is up there. But Natsu stops when he smells something and they all look up at Karacka from Eisenwald, who listened to a lot of this and retreats back into the core before people can attack him.
Ivan saw this and asks Karacka what he saw and threatens to blow up Karacka with his Shikigami bomb if he doesn’t capitulate.
Karacka spills the beans and tells them about Blackout and Ivan tells Karacka to use his phasing magic to get to that floor and stop them, but Karacka says he’s seen Natsu’s power so he needs some back from his guild and Ivan says fine just find them.
It cuts to Briar, Jerome, Mary, and D-6. They will gather their Avatar forces and sneak out of Black Vox during the ensuing chaos and after Drum gets his weapon, they’ll blast through the first layer.
As it cuts around to Kain who sees Abel and knocks him out for taking Mr. Kursey, saying he will be the only one to use it and walks off saying he’ll finally do what he should’ve done. While Goumon finds Erigor and tells him to remember he’s loyal to Avatar and Erigor knocks him out saying he’ll be reviving Eisenwald and burns off his Avatar guild mark.
It cuts to Natsu, Grog, and Kageyama’s squad running to Blackout, with Grog saying they have to hurry, but Natsu and Kageyama say they wouldn’t be in this mess if Grog hadn’t let Five Bridge in. Grog says he couldn’t let the warden die and get tortured. Torch isn’t just a warden, he’s like a father to him and he didn’t want to live knowing that Torch would just be tortured.
Natsu says that he gets that. He’s done a lot of the same stupid stuff in the name of his dad, but what matters now is they do right by their dads and fix this problem. Kageyama saying that’s a laugh given how destructive Natsu is and he just yells he’s been working on it.
Grog just has a moment to think about the Knights and mages ready to fight the prisoners.
It cuts to the group of mages all wait in anticipation to fight the prisoners and watching the wall slowly crack. Katja orders some mages to stay here in this layer so that they can make sure no one gets to the weapon storage room.
Warren walks up to Gray and asks if he’s should come with him. Gray says Warren should stay back he probably won’t last against all The commotion and with his Telepathy it’s best if he stayed back and called him if there was a problem
Warren, dejected, agrees
The wall shatters as Mages, Knights, Jailers, and Prisoners do battle.
Gray ends up fighting D-6 and Gray and him have a back and forth while fighting, Gray saying he doesn’t need any slayer power to beat D-6. Briar tries to jump him, but Millianna stops her and is ready to take her on.
Millianna vs Briar is under way with Millianna beating down all of Briar’s clones and stating she’ll fight and arrest any servant of Zeref
Gray defeats D-6, send notices that the group of Five Bridge Familia mages led by Dyst, use their telekinesis to blow through tons of guards and knights to make it to the second layer. Gray tries to stop it but he gets hit with Mary’s black virus.
The mages who were in charge of taking up the rear, including Warren and Chrisack, are easily smashed through and Dyst makes it to the second and more specifically the weapon storage room.
The dark mages raid it, stealing trying to get back there weapons, with Dyst making quick work of any remaining mages. The Familia locates Drum’s Collect Beam 999’s and Dyst sticks around a bit to knock out any remaining mages
It looks like Warren has been beaten, but he is just playing dead as Dyst walks away and dark mages Who followed behind the Familia, are also exiting, getting back into the fray against the jailers
Warren sees Dyst walk away and uses his telepathy to see that Dyst thinks that there is an anyone else there. Warren then thinks he’ll just call Gray and he’ll come and call beat up Dyst.
Warren placing his hand on his starts crying, and asks why he’s so pathetic. We get a flashback showing a 15 year old Warren who beat up a bully around his hometown. The kids around him start praising him and he says it’s all thanks to his telepathy
The kids say that with that kind of magic he could be a mage and with his physical skill he can go on lots of adventures. Warren left town, dropping his education and leaving his family to join FT and always thought that as long as he had is telepathy and make sure to train his body hard he could be a great mage, sure maybe not renowned throughout the kingdom, but that’s what S-Class mages were there for.
But over time, things changed. People he knew since they arrived at the guild like Natsu, Gray, even Lucy started making insane bounds in their skill. They became so strong while he was just left in the dust, But as long as he had his telepathy he was still useful, at least he thought that until FT fell from grace. Seeing how all those great mages were gone there was way more pressure on people to pull their load and he realized everything that he had done up to that point just wasn’t enough.
Eventually many people left and they had to move to that second building constantly being bullied by Twilight Ogre. He didn’t leave the guild even after seeing his effort seemed almost pointless, he stayed because he believed that this guild has been good to him, treated him like family and gave him a place to grow.
But yet he didn’t help it regain its glory, no he sat around while those same guildmates of his who ones left in the dust were now the saviors of FT.
It returns to the present where Warron finishes his thoughts, about how even now he rather play dead and let Gray handle it. If he really was an FT mage he would do stand up and protect his family instead of mooching off them.
Warren stands up, and yells at Dyst there is still one more mage. Dyst stops and says it’s a pain, and sends some debris Warren thinking it hit him but Dyst is surprised to see none the debris hurt him. Eventually Dyst starts knocking back Warren, but Warren using his magic to predict the attacks while using weapons in the storage room to help him.
It doesn’t seem like enough because Dyst is ready to kill Warren, but Kain in his metal form protects Warren. Warren and Dyst asks what the hell, but Kain says he’s here to help and repent for his mistakes
Kain does surprisingly well until Dyst figures out Kain’s magic and blasts the doll away from Kain. Dyst then beats on Kain till Warren grabs the doll and uses Kain to help fight against all Dyst
Warren uses his telepathy to know Dyst’s moves and uses the doll to control Kain’s movements to beat on Dyst. Eventually the two push Dyst back, Warren telepathically tells Kain that they need to get a strand of Dyst’s hair, telling Kain his plan.
Dyst recovers, sick of all this shit and Kain activates doll change to make it a shining doll. Dyst is taken off guard that Kain isn’t the one attacking, but Warren. The glowing Warren steals a strand of hair and Kain then takes control of Dyst
The two knockout Dyst with Kain suggesting they work together.
It cuts to Natsu and Kageyama squad with Kageyama asking what will they have to do to activate the Blackout and Grog says he just needs to access it an enter a code to activate it.
As they run, Karacka sticks his head out from the ceiling and then returns to the surface with Ivan’s Shikigami next to his head and says he hasn’t found anything
Ivan is keeping track of Karacka with his Shikigami and talking to him through it
Erigor shows up with Biyard and tells Karacka to help them bring back Eisenwald. Karacka explains the situation and Ivan offers the Eisenwald mages a deal if they find Blackout
They agree and it cuts to Ivan’s end of the call where Ivan is talking to Drum. Ivan has been sucking up to Drum and earning his trust. He even asks Drum how he got to be the master of Five Bridge Familia.
Drum explains how he was an orphan that was abandoned in the middle of nowhere near the edge of Fiore by an escaped dark mage.
The dark mage nurtured the giant baby Drum on a farm and Drum always called the dark mage “Daddy”. The dark mage intended to mold Drum Bee into a weapon so he could make it big in the underworld. Drum was raised to be loyal always asking his dad what to do and asking for his approval
The dark mage was shocked when Drum exhibited magic especially telekinesis, and thought Drum could be even more powerful. Drum practiced his magic by killing animals on the farm, but one day a group of slavers killed the dark mage and robbed his house
Drum took revenge on the slavers, by finding a trench they were using as a base and not only raised the earth, but murdered all the slavers. Drum freed the slaves and took them as his “sons” and started Five Bridge Familia.
Eventually he reveals that he started destroying towns and forcing them to pay tribute calling them part of his Familia, but he was foiled by Gildarts and was given life imprisonment
Ivan says he loves Drum’s views on fathers and sons saying how his dad was a fool. Drum asks who Ivan’s dad was and when he mentions fairy tail Drum goes ballistic. Saying Gildarts foiled his plans and Ivan mentions that there are FT mages here and maybe they’ll kill them
Torch, who’s still held captive by them understands what Ivan is doing, but is unable to saying anything. The group of mages Who grabbed the Collect Beam 999’s return to Drum, but report Dyst has been defeated.
Drum wants to retaliate, but Shake says he’ll do it himself. Ivan then gets contacted by Karacka saying that the squad has stopped , and Ivan says he’ll join them in their fight. Drum is the lighted that he will soon be free of Black Vox and return to the world. It cuts to Gray who is still in pain from what Mary did to him.
Millianna saves Gray from Mary, but Jerome arrives saying he wants Gray to repent. Gray says he’ll handle all this fight and Millianna should go. Millianna bumps into Kain ready to fight, but Warren tells her to stop and that he’s on their side
But Shake appears and they note he has Torch and uses him as shield for a while. Shake reveals the potential of telekinesis, that it isn’t simply moving objects, but by telekinetically using the wind he can make it’s particles grind against each other, it creates lightning and he calls it “Psychic Storm”
With the lightning and the captive Torch it seems unlikely for the 3 can win. Torch pleads for them to just kill him and take out Shake, but they refuse. Kain gets a hair on Torch and uses his doll to pull Torch away. Warren thinks this is great as they can now get close to Shake and possibly pluck a hair off his head and then beat him like they did with Dyst
Problem is that Kain says the plan out loud and Shake says he’ll just kill them with his magic. Warren gets a full blast of the psychic storm lightning, while trying to figure out how they could possibly beat him. Thinking about his fight with Dyst
Warren then telepathically contacts Kain and Millianna and says he’s figured out the key to his magic and telekinesis. Telekinesis seems almost infinite with the amount of stuff that they can pick up what they’re mine and hurl at other people, but they only do that with stuff like debris and loose weaponry. He also noticed that when they did pick up people with their mind it was usually unconscious individuals. The reason is that telekinesis and the amount of focus that they need to put in to controlling objects is based on the amount of resistance. Stuff like debris will not resist, but stuff resisting take more focus so that means less of their focus can be spread to other objects .
Warren uses the example of physically stopping someone punching against a mage with telekinesis, they would have to focus specifically on stopping the person’s arm b because that’s resisting against their mental control. So that’s why whenever they got close to a telekinetic they would instead control the wind and use that to blast people away. It’s much easier to manipulate still wind instead of focusing on a punch.
The key is to hit him with attacks with enough force and that he will have to spread his focus out and therefore will create an opening.
Millianna attacked some with multiple tubes, which he bats away, however shake is surprised by the fact that the tubes are pushing against his telepathic push away so he starts focusing on that. Kain uses his goal to turn his body into metal and launches himself straight at Shake which shake will be hit head on and probably lose if Kain’s attack connects.
Shake decides to push back Kain but doing so allows Millianna’s tubes to behind him in a technique called cats cradle. The now magic neutralized shake gets hit by the Kain launch attack that knocks him out.
Torch is impressed, but now hopes Grog can turn the blackout on.
It cuts to Grog’s group who’ve made it to the Blackout, but Eisenwald and Ivan come bursting through. Erigor enters his Storm Mail and goes after Kageyama splitting him up from the group.
Karacka attacks Grog and Biyard attacks Natsu. Natsu KOs Biyard easy while Grog restrains Karacka.
The shikigami appears on Karacka and explodes, catching Grog in the explosion. The same happens with Biyard, but Natsu gets out of the way in time.
Ivan says he’ll be killing Grog now.
It cuts to Kageyama who fights Erigor. They get a little expansion on their past, with Kageyama claiming he’s not a coward anymore, he’ll stand up and defeat Erigor.
Erigor mocks him and his magic stating he knows all of Kage’s tricks and the limitations of his shadow magic, namely Kageyama can only manipulate his shadow as a weapon, but Erigor can manipulate all of wind.
Kageyama looks backed into a corner but Kageyama reveals that 8 years has been a long time and he’s learned more about his magic. By having his own shadow touch another shadow in the room he can also manipulate that shadow. Erigor writes this off not realizing that this dark corridor has many shadows that are connected.
Kageyama uses his shadow to activate a new ability cold Shadow Orochi Pit, which summons snakes from all over the shadows in the room rather than just Kageyama’s. Erigor is overwhelmed and defeated.
Back with Natsu, he takes on Ivan stating he’s not worth is as clenches the fist on his bandaged arm and proceeds to fight. He says Ivan was a horrible son and manages to defeat him. Natsu punching Ivan right through the ceiling into the core.
It cuts to Drum entering the battlefield with the other members of Five Bridge Familia, Kain, Warren, and Millianna noticing that on his sleeves he now has tons of holes in them. Gray sees this but is refocuses on Jerome.
It cuts to Grog making it to the Blackout and activating it. Cutting back to the fighting area, Bora makes into The weapon storage room and says that he is now in the second layer and once he gets passed this he’ll be able to escape. He is then shocked by the same black symbol that he was marked with on his thumb appears behind him.
The entire walls of the core become coated in the same symbol, but only The core as Bora obverses from the second layer and the wall of black symbols blocking anything from entering or exiting.
Drum screams for a wall, as all the inmates are hit by this lightning coming from all the symbols. Jerome getting hit right in front of Gray and it continuing to zap him until he passes out. Gray realizes that no one without the mark on their thumb is getting zapped. He then looks over at Drum and sees the lightning is being held back.
The wall fades as Blackout powers down, but everyone notices that the lightning is not striking Drum, rather it’s trying to but his guild mates are using their telekinesis to push it back. However this exerted so much force on all the Five Bridge mages that they pass out.
Drum is pissed and says that all will pay, blasting Kain, Millianna, Warren, Torch, and several Rune Knights away with a telekinetic airburst. but Gray comes at Drum asking what kind of father just sacrifices his own children for himself. Drum states as their father he Will more than guide his children and it is all for their benefit, for without a parent they’d be lost.
Gray gets flashes of Ur, Makarov, and Silver. Saying that a parent isn’t selfish. They don’t treat children of like tools. They teach kids right from wrong and then make them capable enough to survive in the real world. And if they do want their children to do something they will pass it onto them not use them.
Drum yells Gray doesn’t know a damn thing about being a parent and tries to attack him the spear. Gray grabs the spear and activates his devil slaying magic freezes the spear and shatters proclaiming that this is what the bequeathing a duty to their children looks like.
Drum just reveals his Collect Beam 999’s that come out of the holes in his sleeves and they are spherical and have a circular opening on the surface. These little sweet years are controlled by Drum’s telekinesis and uses them to fire lasers at people. A lot of mages pick themselves up and start fighting back against the Collect Beam.
Gray deals with some of the beams and then has Warren telepathically communicate saying to get everybody to force all the collective beams in one area.
The mages push back and Gray uses Ice-Make: Silver, freezing all the collect beams. Drum tries to move his frozen spheres but they are iced up so much they shatter so Drum just tries to shoot the ice at Gray but his Devil Slaying Magic protected him.
Drum and Gray engage with Gray defeating Drum with the help of Millianna.
The heroes are triumphant with Grog, Natsu, and Kageyama, celebrating. Torch crying that they managed to do it.
It cuts to the first layer where Baum questions what the heck is with all that sound, The two guards with them say that they need to stand watch Just in case if there’s any escapees. They then see a figure running at them and it’s Bora who burned through the last layer so he could get to the first and escape.
Bora thanks that you can make it past the guards but is shocked that Baum is there and the wizard saint just obliterates Bora.
It cuts to them starting to round up all the prisoners and returning them to their cells while Torch who is in the medical bay, saying he feels ashamed. He was captured by the Five Bridge Familia when they threatened to kill every person on a train with an avalanche if he did not surrender himself. Because of his actions Black Vox has suffered more damage than it’s ever seen.
Grog laughs saying that it’s a good thing. Because we learn from our mistakes. Getting a small flash back showing a very young Grog having trouble with his job as a jailer and wants to quit but Torch saying that when you’re not down don’t stay down. Grog could either stay down admitting defeat and wallow in the fact that he didn’t manage to do something or is he going to get up and move past it and be a better person.
Grog says that now it is true for the prison. Sure it’s suffered a lot but now it can be improved better than it has before.
Grog is called t the cell because Warren and Millianna are standing up for Kain saying he doesn’t deserve a life sentence. Natsu recognizes Kain and asks him about how he followed Hades. Kain says he wants to go back to his cell because that is how he’ll repay his debt for the pain he caused
Torch remembers Kain’s bravery and actions and says he’ll shave his sentence down to 5 years and afterwards he must report inmediently for training in the Rune Knights while getting a full background check
Kain is so happy and notices Natsu he reveals that from being in Grimmoire Heart he learned Zeref is from Alvarez
This all ends with commander Katja thanking all the participators in the in this saying they went above and beyond the call of duty.
Gray and Warren meet up with Natsu and say that all that talk of family means they really want to get back home to Fairy Tail.
So I call this an arc, but it’s more of a plot line. The concept of dragon slayer lacrima has been a big unanswered question so I decided to make a reason for it.
400 years ago in Dragnof, it was just found out that Acnologia became a dragon and Irene herself, started changing. Irene ordered that an inhibitor be made
That inhibitor was by giving first enchanting dragon slaying magic into lacrima then implanting it in a first generation dragon slayer, not only to give them greater power, but also give them the full power of the dragon without becoming a dragon.
See the big thing about third generation was how they could enter dragon force at will, while first generations with dragon soul need an influx of Ethernano
So this was before the dragon could make dragon anti bodies
Many Lacrima were made to fit the people who were slowly becoming dragons, but Acnolgia just slaughtered everyone and a lot of that work was lost. (Except for Lacrima found by Weisslogia and Skiadrum)
It was then, in the future where Brain, who was still the head of the Bureau of Magical Development, had found the lacriman and took it back to be studied.
Brain was shocked that there was lacrima containing a lost magic like dragon slaying magic.
Brain then experimented on the effect of implanting a lacrima into a human. Do to the nature of it being first into a lacrima then into a body, the subject gained greater strength and dragon slaying magic, but could not access the true dragon power (Dragon Force) however there was also the side effect of the lacrima, semi mutating the subject when using the magic, like getting more pronounced muscles, scales on the arms, and sharper teeth, but this was only when using the magic
So in terms of creation it was first gen, third gen, second gen
Brain’s first ever dragon slayer he made was Serena. Serena was someone with low levels of magic and he infused a lacrima into and then Serena got really powerful.
Brain even sold off some of successful research to Ivan, who bought the lightning dragon lacrima off him.
It wasn’t till Ultear destroyed his lab, that the council shut him down for his unorthodox practices. Brain left with only the poison lacrima and klodoa
Brain met Cobra and gave him the poison lacrima
later it’s revealed Serena survived and stole the Lacrima that survived, becoming God Serena. (Look at how young he is, he couldn’t have been a god of ishgar for long0
Then we see Sting and Rogue who have the lacrima and were raised by a dragon
So if you want how it would be canonically introduced through the re write:
Laxus first shows off his magic
Natsu and Gajeel question Makarov if Laxus had a dragon dad
Makarov explains that Ivan bought it, not satisfied with Laxus’s slow magical growth and assumed when he was in control of Fairy Tail, Laxus would be greater than Gildarts
In the Oracion Seis arc, we get aflash back with how Cobra met Brain and Brain explains that this was something he had worked on and infused it into Cobra, making him one of his prayers
Finally a full flashback on Brain at the council and them explaining how unorthodox he is. Mentioning how he made lacrima infusion and sold it
In the Tenrou arc, Ultear gets a full flash back that shows what Brain did to her including a showing of Brain working on Serena, saying he can make him one of his prayers, but Ultear blew it all up. (Where Serena got his scar)
Laxus also mentions to Makarov, after Grimoire Heart is defeated, that he met up with Ivan at Raven Tail and Ivan said he got the lacrima off of Brain
In the GMG Sting and Rogue are boasting and when they ask Laxus if he was raised by a dragon, Rogue decided to dub them third generation
In Tartaros, we get a montage of saints helping fight with only a glimpse of God Serena
Then we get his full presence in Alvarez and the reveal that he survived the explosion and grew addicted to the power of a dragon and stole the surviving lacrima and infused it in him.
Irene in Irene’s flash back we show that she ordered Lacrima be made.
That is how I would tackle revealing the Dragon Slayer Lacrima, in my rewrite
Alright this might seem like an odd post, but over the course of my rewrite I’ve introduced a lot of new places and concepts in the world of FT and I thought I would make a full list
Ishgar: The continent where the series of FT takes place. It as a whole is most know is the Magic Council system, which in full you can read here, but to know the basics it was made by 10 countries to make order in the magic world. These 10 nations were: Fiore, Minstrel, Caelum, Midi, Enca, Stella, Seven, Iceberg, Sin, and Bellum. It has a total of 14 countries: Fiore, Caelum, Minstrel, Midi, Enca, Stella, Sin, Pergrande, Joya, Seven, Bosco, Iceberg, Bellum, and Desierto.
Fiore: A country in Ishgar and where most of the series starts. Its ruler is Toma Fiore who’s family has ruled for almost 300 years. The first king was Aspar Fiore and was given the Eclipse Gate by a band of Celestial Spirit mage immigrants from the western continent Alakitasia. The Gate has been considered the Fiore family treasure. One of the most well known events in Fiore is the Grand Magic Games, a tournament held to prove who’s the best guild in all of Fiore and unify them in the spirit of competition. Many come from all over Ishgar to watch these games.
Crocus
The massive capital city of the Fiore Kingdom. It was the first settlement of the kingdom after the Fiore family had acquired the land and would become known as “The Flower Blooming Capital” because of the vast array of flowers that adorn the streets and gardens of the city. The capital is also the location of Mercurius, a large castle where the Fiore family lives and is overlooked by the captain of the guard, Arcadios. In the lower levels of Mercurius lies the Eclipse Gate, which has had been targeted by thieves such as the treasure hunting guild NEO Sylph Labyrinth and the Alvarez black ops member Jacob Lessio.
Thanks to the size of Crocus there are many facilities that the city holds, such as it’s numerous inns like the Honey Bone Inn and Moon View Inn where Fairy Tail and Sabertooth had stayed at during the Grand Magic Games. The city is also home to the theme park, Ryuzetsu Land, an extremely well-known and popular summer vacation resort. Restaurants and places like Bar Sun also make for an active downtown scene in the city. However, one of the most famous landmarks of Crocus is Domus Flau, the arena where the Grand Magic Games are held
Magnolia
A moderately large town in the Fiore kingdom. It was founded early on in Fiore’s history, beginning as a town which was a perfect position for trade. It first became famous for being the home of Kardia Cathedral, made by Saint Mikardia. The Cathedral is considered one of the three great churches in the entire kingdom. But the town was taken over in the late x680s by a dark guild known as Blue Skull. The guild was defeated thanks to four wizards: Mavis Vermilion, Precht Gaeblog, Warrod Sequen, and Yuri Dreyar. These four mages would go on to make the guild, Fairy Tail.
Fairy Tail has been a well known guild in the kingdom of Fiore and has been a sense of pride for the town of Magnolia, with Fairy Tail’s guildhall sitting in the center of the town like a crown jewel. The guild of Fairy Tail has been portrayed as having a good public relation with the Magnolia townspeople, with Fairy Tail’s Fantasia festival being the height of it. The Fantasia festival is a celebration hosted by Fairy Tail in which they give back to their community and give a display of magic to their town. Fairy Tail however, for a time fell from grace and had lost a lot of the recognition they had once held. In that time another guild, Twilight Ogre, became active. Twilight Ogre did not possess the same relationship with the town of Magnolia as Fairy Tail had, as well as Magnolia not viewing them with as high of a recognition as they used to with Fairy Tail. However, Twilight Ogre for a time was the only guild in Magnolia after the events of Tartaros had led to Fairy Tail disbanding for a year until their return.
Magnolia is home to many attractions from magic stores, toy stores, bakeries, and book stores like Book Land. Thanks to the size of Magnolia it has can contain Magnolia Station, a train station located on eastern part of town. Also on the eastern side of town is the East Forest, which is the home of Natsu, Happy, Porylusica, and for a time the second Fairy Tail Guildhall. It also has the South Gate Park for townspeople who wanna get away for the urban area.
The town has been turned into a battlefield twice: with the first time being Laxus and his Thunder God Tribe take control of it during Fantasia, and the second being Tartaros attacking the town.
Hargeon
Hargeon is a port town in the southern part of Fiore. It has a beautiful marina and is highly prosperous thanks to its fish trade. However, the town is ore focused of fishing than magic, with the only magic shop in the town being Proper Grocer. The town also has many restaurants like Hargeon Diner, where Natsu and Lucy had gotten to know each other, and 8-Island, a restaurant made by former seated council member, Yajima.
The town has been subject to attack by demons, such as when Tempester invaded 8-Island in search of Yajima or the attack on Hargeon led by Bradman and a fleet of demons.
Rosa
Rosa is a small town up north and is famously the hometown of the Blue Pegasus guild. It’s a very beautiful town with quaint charm.
Hydrangea Village
Hydrangea Village is a small village near Rosa and was established 400 years ago. The village at that time prayed to the Yakuma and were gifted with a stone blessed by the Yakuma. The stone would go on to be the village’s treasure and the people of Hydrangea would honor the gift by holding a festival in its honor. The festival quickly became famous for having vendors from all over meet and sell stuff at this festival.
The current village leader is Mariah and she is in charge of overseeing the blessed stone in the House of Hydrangea, a temple made to hold the stone. One festival almost led to the stone being stolen by Avatar mage, Erigor, but was stopped by Blue Pegasus mage, Laxus Dreyar.
Balsam Village
This spa town is very flashy and considered a perfect tourist spot. It was where Loke had saved Lucy from a few dark mages

Oshibana
This town is famously known for being the hometown of the Eisenwald guild, though the guild of Eisenwald was located in the forest just outside Oshibana. Their home guild was however disgraced and stripped of legality after it came to light the guild was accepting assassination jobs. Oshibana Station was held hostage in x784 and was defeated by team Natsu with all members of Eisenwald being arrested except Erigor.
Clover
A small town known for being the location where the guild master’s of Fiore gather to discuss inside the Fiore Guild Meeting Hall. It was targeted by Eisenwald in x784, but was saved by Fairy Tail.
Lupinus
This town is not visited and little is known other than it is the home of one of the three greatest churches in Fiore.

Even more north is the main guild headquarters of Phantom Lord that oversees activity of all their members and can transform into a “mecha-phantom”.
Tuly Village
This village is only a few miles from Crocus and is be known for the Tuly Clock Tower, an ancient historic clock tower that has been damaged once by Natsu. Tuly is a not all that urban of a town and is home to many facilities such as the Kotoko Inn, where Natsu and Lucy stayed while in Tuly. It also is the current home for former Phantom Lord Element 4 member, Totomaru and his school The Great Conflagration Fire Magic School, which had previously been in Magnolia, but moved after the attack by Tartaros.
Thistle
Thistle is a small run down looking town that’s only a few miles away from Tuly. It’s very impoverished and murky with most of the residents being very easy to anger. The village does have some facilities like apartments that Macao had lived at during the disbandment of Fairy Tail, and Bar Thistle, the local tavern.
This was also the hometown for Abyss Horn, a dark guild that ruled over the town led by master Cranch. This guild was an ally of Avatar. However they were defeated and arrested in x792 by Natsu, Lucy, and Macao.
Myosotis
This city is large and regal, it also is the second largest city within the kingdom of Fiore. The city is home of the guild Sabertooth, established in x785. The city is awe of the Sabertooth guild with their large guildhall in the center of the city. After the x791 Grand Magic Games and the new Sabertooth guild master, Sting taking control, the guild became more publicly friendly, such as giving full access to the Sabertooth Indoor Pool.
The city is large enough to have many attractions like the Bar Scorpion, for food and drink, the Grand Myosotis Library that contains the largest collection of books in the kingdom, and Myosotis Station. On the edge of town was four FACE bombs, but in x791 they were destroyed. Also, surrounding the city is a forest that was once the home of Sting and Lector.
Acalypha
This town is within walking distance of Magnolia and is known for being a merchant center. Its greatest attraction is the merchant guild Love & Lucky, this guild is also where Jude and Layla Heartfilia had worked until Jude decided to start his own buisness and a daughter on the way. The former businessman returned to Love & Lucky after the loss of his company and spent his remaining days working there.
The Love & Lucky guild was attacked by Naked Mummy mages, but were defeated by Lucy Heartfilia.
Amefurashi Village
Amefurashi is a village near the edge of Fiore and for a time was known as the “Village of Rain” when Juvia Lockster had moved there and drowned in her sorrows there. Juvia eventually left after being told that guild was getting back together.
Margaret
Margaret is a moderately large town in the the southern part of Fiore and is founded around a river, thus making a huge emphasis on boat transportation. It is famous for being the hometown of Lamia Scale however, Lamia Scale is not the only guild in Margaret. The other guild in Margaret is Orochi’s Fin which was established in Margaret in x712, the same year as Lamia Scale. However, the Lamia Scale guild was the only one that prospered over time, becoming more and more renowned, with them eventually producing a wizard saint, Jura Neekis.
The Orochi’s Fin guild fell into obscurity, but continued on until x792 when they had added former Grimoire Heart mage, Bluenote Stinger, to their ranks and had aligned themselves with Avatar. Orochi’s Fin attacked Lamia Scale during their Thanksgiving Festival, but had lost the battle and lost their legal status. Many of their mages were ready to be rounded up, but all members of Orochi’s Fin was murdered by Jerome of Avatar.
Speaking of the Lamia Scale Thanks Giving Festival, it is similar to Magnolia’s Fantasia where mages all perform and build trust in their town. The Lamia Scale guild has its own residency for its members, called Lamia Estate. The town has such facilities as Viper Inn for tourists and Margaret Boat Rental, which gives towns people ships to use on the waterway.

Eventually the dark guild, Oracion Seis had made their way into the Worth Woodsea and eventually found the old Nirvit village. In x784, the Worth Woodsea became the battle ground between the united alliance and the Oracion Seis. Cobra eventually finds Nirvana and releases it.
Sun Village: This village rests on the border of countries Bosco and Fiore. It was established by Atlas Flame as a home for the giants, creatures who originally were hunted by humans for their meat. Atlas Flame had been inspired by Igneel to find a bigger purpose and he chose to become the guardians of the hunted giant race. The village originally was located in a desert area, but thanks to Warrod Sequen, the village has lush greenery around it.
Flare Corona is originally from this village, but left after becoming a social outcast and eventually joined Raven Tail.

Originally there was a city in this country called Nirvana, but the ruler of this city, Roubaul, converted it into a powerful super magic item called Nirvana. The magic of Nirvana can remove the “darkness” of someone, but it eventually became unstable and Roubaul didn’t balance it out by sacrificing people’s “light”. Nirvana was then piloted to Worth Woodsea and sealed. Roubaul returned to Seven and rebuilt the country and made a new city.
Roubaul is the king of Seven and had lived for centuries because the seal he used on Nirvana would keep him alive as long as Nirvana existed. He took in Wendy Marvell, when Mystogan had begged for her to be taken care of and Wendy was watched over by Roubaul. Roubaul died when the Nirvana was destroyed, but said he was happy knowing his sin was gone.

It is ruled by Octavius Minstrel, but he even admits that most people think of him a second in comparison to the council. Minstrel has an odd geography, with many canyons in the country and the southern half becoming more and more rocky and less settled the father south you go. But the northern half just gets more and more urbanized and regal as you go north, with at the very north being the home of the magic council. The country of Minstrel survived being invaded by Tartaros however, it was difficult to find the FACE bombs due to the terrain.

The main structure of the prison is a gargantuan cube, completely black and opaque. It hovers quite some distance off the ground and is tilted a bit about its axis such that it isn't completely parallel to the ground. Although completely solid, a square opening can be created on its surface to allow passage. The inside of it is a simple open space with numerous black cubes floating around. Inside these smaller cubes are all the inmates, while the cells float free of gravity, those inside don’t seem to feel the effect.

It was controlled by Brain and was where he ran experiments on many subjects, such as Ultear and God Serena. The most known development that came from the Bureau is dragon slaying lacrima, which was discovered in the ruins of Dragnof. Eventually, the Bureau was destroyed by Ultear and the Magic Council had came to the decision that due to the reports of unethical experiments, they decided to not rebuild the Bureau.

Desierto: An all desert country, Desierto is known for its heat and sand. Its ruler is king Sanpro Desierto and he has a daughter, princess Lead Desierto.

At the base of the mountain, these falls flow into rivers that uniquely divide the city, though there are several bridges designed to help people cross.
The mountain also has a elegant white staircase that goes up the face of the mountain from base to summit. That the top of the mountain is flat land and a calm serene lake and at its center is the royal palace, Abyad. Also built into the mountain is the Sandstone Prison, considered one of the worse places to be locked away in, mainly because how it’s positioned.

Dried Oasis
This area of Desierto is near the western boarder and is considered inhospitable due to the intensity of the sun, the lack of water, and just how far and wide the area is. It is also home to snake creatures that can grow massive as well as grow wings. There are also some groups of professional bandits who pick off anyone stupid enough to enter the Dried Oasis.
It did possess a FACE bomb in it and was used by people as a halfway marker. This area was also where a fleeing Brain had wound up after his revolt. He had run into a young Erik who was left in the desert and managed to survive after becoming friends with one of the snake creatures.

The kingdom is a distinct archipelago made of three islands, with only two inhabited by humans, the other by monsters.
Devil’s Cove
This is an island of lush forest and fruit, but it is most know for having many types of monsters condensed on this island. It is a common practice for family’s that can’t afford to care for more children will leave one on Devil’s cove to be killed by the monsters. Two children that survived this island were Racer and Azuma.
These monsters are popular for trade as Enca makes them an export to Fiore so these monsters can be used in the Grand Magic Games Pandemonium event.
Pergrande: This is the largest country in Fiore and possibly the most imposing. The Pergrande family has had a long historic reign with all members of royal blood having tattoos on their faces. Faust Pergrande was dethroned by Fairy Tail and the revolutionary army, then replaced with current king, Dan Straight. The country is most known for its countless lacrima mines and is the countries main export, with the kingdom running on Lacrima for power and the military integrating it into their armor and weapons.
The lacrima mines are deep, but since Faust’s reign more and more people were forced to go work in these mines. The Pergrande kingdom had conquered the Extalia kingdom and the exceeds were only able to live in comfort by serving as magic detectors for when the magic in the lacrima got low. The kingdom was very classist, with impoverishment growing the farther and farther you get from the royal capital. The army is very loyal to their king and are in love with the perks of serving the military. Many of the people of Pergrande are not able to use high forms of caster magic, so most of the magic used is holder magic. Anyone with high levels of magic were usually detained by the government and drained of their excess magic.

Alright, this arc is something I’ve been going over for a long time. I’ve done countless adjustments and concept changes. Wanting to do something different from a war, then wanting to do a war. Characterization I wanted to do, characters I wanted to cut out, etc. So here’s my version of the Alvarez arc.
Opens to Crime Sociere and over the timeskip, Sorano was checking out Alvarez for clues on Zeref’s location and according to her, he’s on Alvarez
In Alvarez, Zeref comes and the ruler of Alvarez, Irene Belserion (Who’s keeping herself hidden in shadow) and says he’s come to help her and give her back her humanity
Irene is shocked, but Neinhart says that what he’s asking is extreme and Invel questions why Zeref would want to help and he says he wants Acnologia dead
A few days pass Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Wendy are returning from a successful mission, Lucy saying it’s sad that Erza wasn’t along with them
All of FT is adjusting to their return, talking about missions, how Erza’s the new Master, Natsu saying he’s now gotta think about fighting Zeref.
Cuts to God Serena in Bellum and he smiles how Alvarez is moving and he might as well wait to play his part
Out of the cost of Hargeon is an armada of ships piloted by demons. The one leading them, Bradman
On the ship, Bradman says he’ll play his part and reveals he’s talking to two members of the Alvarez black ops division, Marin Hollow and Jacob Lessio (Both of whom specialize in teleportation and invisibility magic) Marin says he’s gotta bring FT down to Hargeon, but Bradman says it won’t be a problem
The demons attack Hargeon and begin killing many innocent people. Fiore’s Knights are called down, but it’s no good, so an order is issued to the guilds and Rune knights
Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, and Fairy Tail all arrive to help. Marin sees this and teleports away in the chaos
Bradman appears to the guilds saying he will avenge Tartaros as he is a remnant of its forces and this being the country that destroyed them and he will seek revenge
Cut to an invisible Marin making it to Fairy Tail and uses his glasses which turn out to be special magic items that can see through objects and see magic readings, finds where the heart is being kept
Back at Hargeon the demons and guilds fight, with the heavy hitters of each guild fighting the evolving Bradman, but Gray questions why this guy wasn’t in the war against Tartaros
Eventually it cuts to Mavis in her chamber of the Lumen Histoire, but then ambushed by the teleporting Marin. Mavis acts fast, while she can’t fight him off, using her thought projection, she is able to get a warning out to the remaining members.
Marin teleports away so mavis is no longer in distance of the guild to do her projection
The Rune Knights who arrived examined the ships used by the demons and found that they were manufactured by Alvarez, not only that, but the FT mages are shocked at the stolen Fairy Heart. Gray puts things together saying that Alvarez could be working with Zeref
Mavis even warning that Marin mentioned Alvarez
Doranbolt arrives to FT (Gajeel calls in a favor due to his former high position and gets a quick audience with the general) and when they state it was someone with Alvarez did this, Doranbolt begins to sweat. He knows how dangerous the Fairy Heart is and if Alvarez has it and plans to use it as a weapon it could be bad
Doranbolt hypothesize that even if they had a ship or a teleportation ability, they couldn’t bring Fairy Heart to Alvarez in time and would most likely have to stop over in the independent nation of Caracole Island, a neutral area where they could completely avoid a ground war in Alvarez if they take it there
Natsu and Erza both say they should take it back by force, but Doranbolt says that FT can’t go. Erza says Fairy Heart is their responsibility, not Ishgar’s, but Doranbolt says that if it’s international and threatens Ishgar’s safety then it’s the duty of the Rune Knights
Natsu asks why Doranbolt is being a hardass, their guilds have taken large threats before, but Doranbolt yells that this isn’t a dark guild, but a whole continent, they are dealing with something far bigger than a small army of dark mages or the guerrilla style tactics used by Tartaros.
He also adds that it isn’t the guild’s job to fight wars, their mages, their duty is to the growth of magic not to be soldiers. Doranbolt adds on that it is heartbreaking for the rune knights over the last few years, Jellal toppling the council meant they weren’t organized for the Oracion Seis, the bombing at the council was a crippling blow to their upper officers and left them scrambling again, now it’s their time to do their duty and be knights
Mystogan tries to argue with Doranbolt saying that he knows about underground revolts and covert operations in dangerous areas. He also knows that by the time the Rune Knights fully assemble, the Fairy Heart won’t be on Caracole Island
Mystogan says that if FT acts as a scout force to head them off and if they get off the island with Fairy Heart then it’s left up to the Rune Knights
Doranbolt is hesitant, asking how they’ll get to Caracole. Mystogan reveals something that he built with Dan Straight over the one year he was gone, a new type of magic ship that replaces the a magic bombers raw power and size with enhanced speed
The ship is called, Emilia and like how Christina is based on a Pegasus, this one is based on a Fairy
The ones going is the same team Tenrou Group: Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Juvia, Elfman, Pantherlily, Gajeel, Levy, Cana, Mira, Carla, Wendy, Laxus, Freed, Bickslow, Evergreen, Erza
While they depart and say goodbye, Doranbolt says to ready another new type of ship made over the timeskip by Pergrande for the Rune Knights, The Magic Warship.
Knowing the danger Doranbolt appeals to the counsel and they all agree to send the 4 gods to war as well when Doranbolt explains the Fairy Heart, though he is chewed out for letting FT hang on such a dangerous piece of magic
Emilia sets out to sea to and Caracole Island
The Gods and Jura confront God Serena and he reveals he’s betraying them all
They are shocked and he says that Zeref had given him and offer over the one year that he couldn’t refuse, if he joined Alvarez
They fight and Serena is currently mopping the floor with all of them, but then Jacob teleports in and says it’s time to go. Hyberion scolds himself for letting Serena act free this whole time.
They approach Caracole Island which Mystogan stresses they need to act appropriate here, it’s independent and we need to keep the fight to a minimum
On Caracole Island, Brandish and Wahl are waiting to pick up Marin and Jacob’s drop-offs.
The King of Caracole, Blank (who’s design is based on General Blank from Rave Master)
Is saying how he just wants the nations to get along, Brandish saying the Alvarez has no problem with Caracole
Marin arrives with Fairy Heart and says that it was a slog to get this back. Brandish then shrinks it and stores Fairy Heart in her pocket. Jacob arrives with Serena, and tells him that he’s going with Brandish. God Serena of course makes a bit of a fuss about not having a personal ship, but it’s ignored.
While Brandish leaves with Serena she tells them Marin and Jacob’s next targets, Lucy, Yukino, and the eclipse gate
While leaving Marin questions why Wahl isn’t coming back with her and see says that Invel had predicted that FT or Ishgar would try to make a move to avoid a war and given the data Zeref gave him, Wahl will be the interception to stop FT.
As the Emilia arrives, Lucy uses Crux to tell where the Fairy Heart may be, he then points them to where Wahl is
Wahl attacks when they ask questions about Fairy Heart and Crux identifying that the ship leaving port has Fairy Heart
It cuts to Brandish who’s talking to the other spriggans with a communication Lacrima and says that FT arrived quicker than expected. Invel says that given FT’s brash behavior and psychological profile, if they beat Wahl they will be coming after the heart.
Invel says that they’ll need a vanguard unit to act as a blockade if/when they get there
Ajeel volunteers saying his squad will turn them to dust
Cut back to the island, Blank is horrified how Alvarez didn’t care about the innocence of his country, but FT splits up when they see Wahl create these mechanical soldiers that also have a counter to the mages.
Half of FT is fighting while the other is trying to get the people to safety. Eventually Mystogan tries to get into the Emilia to catch up, but when it starts getting swarmed by mechanical soldiers, he prioritizes destroying the soldiers so he’s able to still use Emilia
Finally Wahl reveals his true form, and the thunder god tribe recognize that this is a machina
Laxus and Freed destroy it, but the ship Brandish and Serena was on, is out of sight and miles away
Cut to Alvarez where Wahl reveals his real body. He says that they beat his drones, but now he’s got all their weakness cataloged. Dimaria says she’ll just handle watching over Milidan
Brandish is on communication Lacima line and says she’s heading back and made sure to leave Jacob and Marin with the mission of capturing Lucy, but Wahl states that need to change the plan because Lucy is on Caracole
Cut to Caracole Island, Blank is thanking FT for saving them and their kingdom. The FT team is trying to regroup all of them ticked that the Fairy Heart got away.
Natsu suggests that they keep going, but then Gray has to remind them of the deal they made with Doranbolt. Mystogan begins to feel anxious
Cut to Sabertooth, where Jacob is scouting out Yukino and waiting for a chance to grab her. He knocks her out, but when extractingher and making her invisible along with him, the shadows from underneath him spring up.
Rogue reveals that he could feel Jacob’s presence when he touched the shadows.
Jacob retreats knowing he wouldn’t last in afight and Rufus then explaining to Sting about how the boats belonged to Alvarez and trying to contact FT most of them left the country, Sting believes that Yukino was nabbed by the Alvarez guys
It cuts to Marin in Fiore who just gets a response from his communication lacrima that Lucy is on Caracole Island and he’s pissed that he’ll have to bail out and teleport away, but then suddenly the town goes in Gildarts mode and Marin has to check it out
Finally it cuts to the recovering wizards saints, Wolfhiem stating that they’re still going to Alvarez and fighting, especially knowing God Serena is on their side
Hyberion asks if Doranbolt’s “scouting party”, got the fairy heart back, and Doranbolt calls Mystogan
They begin to argue when Mystogan reveals they didn’t grab the heart. Doranbolt says for them to stand down and stay on Caracole until all this mess is cleared up and the Rune Knights have Fairy Heart.
Mystogan says that Fairy Heart is their responsibility and that’s what they’ll do plus if they catch up to the ship with Emilia’s speed, but Doranbolt cuts him off saying that he’s given the the FT guild too much slack and now what they do will officially mean they are interfering on and international crisis, ending with Doranbolt saying they’ll all be court marshalled
Mystogan looks around at the people who Wahl carelessly didn’t mind catching in his cross fire and Mystogan states FT won’t allow the power of Fairy Heart to fall into the hands of someone so like that, court marshall be damned
Doranbolt clutches his head and Hyberion says that they can’t stop them, but it doesn’t mean that they won’t act. They all bored the ginormous Magic Council Magic Aerial Warship, Rune Force
Before the FT team leave Blank tells them to be careful because there’s a giant city port that all ships head west in Alvarez will have to cross, meaning there might not be something there waiting for them.
Blank also gives them a map of Alvarez, these aren’t sold in Ishgar, but being an independent nation in between the two continents, gives them the perks of getting stuff from both sides
The map does highlight a few area like where the capital is
They race off to catch Brandish’s ship, and are making great time with the advanced speed of Emilia, they believe they see ships in the distance, but they suddenly get hit by an odd tornado like attack
Erza identifies the attack as sand magic and it turns out those three ships are flying magic bomber ships that belong to Ajeel’s squad
We get a small flash back showing Ajeel getting ready to head out to fight FT, but Yajeel tells Ajeel that he should be careful and he shouldn’t end up like his father, Jajeel
Ajeel yells that his dad died because he was stupid and weak which is why Ajeel will use absolute force to overwhelm his opponents
Back in the present, Ajeel has his three ships acting as a vanguard unit and even set a precaution for if they manage to get past this part of his squad, he still has a ground army ready to take them out when they land on Alvarez
Levy uses Emilia’s scanners to find that the 3 ships have the magical convergent cannon: Jupiter on them
Ajeel is ready to fire, Mystogan wants to get out of the way, but finds that the controls are oddly not responding properly
Erza says that the blast of sand might have entered the ship and messed it up
Emilia’s not completely broken, but it’s barely mobile, and it does get hit by the Jupiter Cannon, but luckily FT moved the ship enough to avoid the crew aboard didn’t take any damage
The broken Emilia falls into the ocean, but since it’s a boat it floats. FT begins to panic given that their sitting ducks, but Natsu says they can take the fight to them with the help of the exceeds
Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel fly towards the ships, and Juvia says she’ll use her water magic to start moving the ship, but Erza says she wants Juvia to head up with her, because the main ship has a powerful sand user and Juvia would be a perfect help
So Juvia, with the help of Erza in Blackwing armor, fly towards the main ship, Erza yelling at the dragon slayers to get the side ships
Natsu says he’ll take the second one, Gajeel and Wendy take the 3rd
Back on Emilia, Gray and Elfman are on the top of the boat and Gray makes paddles out of ice and Efman using his enhanced strength from Takeover, paddles the Emilia closer to the mainland
In the air we see Natsu land on the second ship piloted by Bakel
Bakel is a guy with little to no magic ability, but he’s extremely physically strong, with his claim that his punch can shatter granite
Natsu is pretty excited to fight him
The other ship is lead by Kareem
Kareem is more magically adept, focusing on magic as opposed to hand-to-hand
Gajeel and Wendy tag team him
Erza and Juvia face off with Ajeel and all eventually manage to overcome their opponents: Natsu punching Bakel through the bottom of his ship causing the ship to crash into the ocean, Gajeel destroys Kareem’s ship casing it to crash land into the ocean, and finally Ajeel tries to best them by turning his ship into sand
The Emilia is getting close to the shore, but they notice the small army waiting. Cana says they’ll have to fight, but Mira says they can’t risk more overwhelming back up arriving, so she uses her Satan Soul Sayla to make all the soldiers go to sleep
The flying FT members meet up with the ground ones and they now take this moments to figure out where they gotta go, Mira using the map Blank gave them has some special marks on them identifying important places
Mystogan and Erza take a small panel to call Doranbolt saying they’ve landed
Freed and Levy deduce that if the Fairy Heart has been stolen by the military and this runs all the way up the government, it’s likely that Fairy Heart could have gone to the capital city of Visterion, in the country of Belserion. But Freed says that it could also possibly go to the magic archive and holding area in the country next to Belserion called Yggrasil (Haven’t fully decided on a name for it yet)
They all come up with a plan to split up and check both of these areas
Natsu says it’ll be quick to get to the capital, because it’s only a couple kilometers from this harbor area
Levy then points out to Natsu that it be stupid to take the direct way to the capital, because it’s the most likely route the entire army would take to make it here
Natsu asks what they should do then and Levy uses her Rune Knight studies in strategy to use this long river that runs through both countries
It not only would avoid the entire pathway the army would use, but it would also be stealthy for FT to get to these two areas then split up
Cut the the palace of Alvarez, Invel is a little annoyed that Ajeel failed to get rid of a small force and Zeref under his breath is quite happy that Natsu was strong enough to make it past Ajeel Squad and looks at the Book of END, though Invel grows rather suspicious.
Brandish and Serena have appeared and have brought Fairy Heart. Zeref is happy to see Mavis again and even more happy his goal is one step closer to completion
Brandish questions how Ajeel could be beaten and Invel says that regardless of failure, Ajeel did give them enough time to assemble all of the Alvarez military and most the civilians have been evacuated up North to the stronghold in the country of Morn.
Invel says his “black carpet” will march all soldiers and several bomber ships will head to the harbor area and fight the Rune Knights
Neinhart questions what about the smaller intruders and Invel explains he figured four possible options: The first is due to the rocky terrain on the west/northwest side of the area, they won’t travel through it on foot, but if they use a ship, they’lll be blasted out of the sky
If the proceed directly from the harbor area to the Palace they’ll run into the “Black Carpet”
third idea is if they try to proceed around the pathway of the carpet which means they’ll be in between the country of Belserion and near Timanshu, a city completely under Wahl and his squads gaze
But if they are extreme and try to avoid the “black carpet” by finding another shore, the only one they’ll land on is Mildian where Dimaria is occupying
If they try to avoid both those they will run into August who’s overlooking the magic archive and holding area
Finally if they choose to go straight at the palace then they’ll end up having to go through the fortress that protects Visterion and where Invel be commanding, Neinhart and his Four Heraldry Knights will assist
God Serena walks up to Zeref saying if he remembers their deal and he says yes, Serena will get to face a dragon king
Cut to Fiore where Sting and Rogue are arguing to let Blue Pegasus to fly them to Alvarez and save Yukino
Bob is not fully allowing, knowing the danger, but Ichiya says consequences be damned, they can’t call themselves men if they just let an innocent soul go unrescued
Cut to Caracoe Island where Jacob lands still using stealth and reveals a “Stealth ship” was there is the other members of black ops to take Yukino to Alvarez (They were going to wait for Lucy, but it appears she’s already on Alvarez) while Jacob and Marin grab the eclipse gate
As the Stealth ship leaves it reveals that under on the ocean floor is the temple Olympia
Marin however, had contacted Jacob revealing his cover had been blown. He was found out by Gildarts who upon releasing his magic,Marin’s stealth destroyed and being interrogated by FT
He doesn’t mention the eclipse gate, but Marin does reveal they wanted Yukino and Lucy for their keys and they were going to meet up on Caracole Island
Gildarts says he’ll go to Caracole and Alvarez, and by go, he’s not taking a ship, but thanks to his crush magic he’s breaking the sea apart and walking through
We then cut to the Warship, Rune Force, where they are nearing the Alvarez harbor area. Doranbolt gets a flash back of Mystogan contacting him
Doranbolt in the present is about to tell them to land when they see the Black Carpet
It cuts to FT who now have reached the point where they split up. The two teams consist of Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Mira, Happy, and Carla in the team heading for the palace, while the second team consists of Cana, Elfman, Juvia, Gajeel, Laxus, Mystogan, Levy, the Thunder god tribe, and Panterlily
They groups both have communication lacrima
Cut back to the War ship (Which also has three magic bombers behind it) meet the black carpet
Doranbolt gets on his loudspeaker and tells the air ships to let them through or any action will result in swift force
The ships however fire and thus we begin the battle of the Alvarez troops and the Rune Knights
Then it cuts to FT entering Timanshu, noticing how cyber punk and industrial it looks
They are ambushed by Wahl, but Laxus says that he and the thunder god tribe will handle him
Wahl is much stronger knowing their weakness and Laxus must fight to try and assist his friends when they’re in danger
Wahl has found this to be Laxus’s weakness along with the magic barrier particles
Wahl reveals who he is and how this mechanical place works, that years ago when the dragons ruled Alvarez the only species that was able to handle the dragons and not die easily was the Machina. But humanity realized this and started creating a method to give them machina powers: Take-Over
Eventually the leader of the Machina ordered a new breed of Machina to be created, one that could analyze all powers and create a weakness
That was Wahl, he was perfect and helped the Machina develop their own capital city, Timanshu
But when the humans of Alvarez unified under this new leader called Irene, Wahl deemed her too powerful and felt that the Machina were the weak race and therefore shouldn’t stay around
Wahl joined Irene and they wiped out the Machina race
Eventually the soldiers start wearing down the Thunder God tribe and Freed has set up a key for Laxus’s victory
A jutsu shiki that nullifies the magic barrier particles and Laxus uses Red Lightning to kill Wahl
The Team Natsu has made it to the fortress Invel keeps infront of Visterion and they try to fight: Deeming that if most the forces are gone then they’ll just bust through
Neinhart deploys the Heraldry Knights
They specialize in the 4 elements (Though Gray tells them that Element 4 were more powerful
Things don’t look good so Neinhart busts out his Historia and using all the villains that have died (Zero, Mard Geer, Hades, Jellal) as well as historia who mess with their mind like Lisanna and Ur
It gets worse when Natsu might have a chance to use his full power when he sees how strong Invel is
But Zeref doesn’t want Natsu to waste his power, so he burns a corner of the book of END and Natsu falls
The other mages all are overwhelmed and Carla flies Wendy away to avoid capture
Team Natsu has fallen. The unconscious are all ordered to go to the jail cells except Natsu by order of Zeref and says to take him to the arena
When Invel questions this, Zeref says this is what he promised God Serena
Cuts to the Rune Knight vs Alvarez forces and things start shifting in Alvarez’s favor when Ajeel’s forces rejoin the fray
The Gods decide they’ll handle the air ships, Jura will meet the troops on the ground, and the Rune Knights should focus on the ground
The gods start destroying the ships and The Christina shows up with Sabertooth on it saying they’re here to help
The Sabertooth mages all get on the ground with Blue Pegasus giving Sting and Rogue a magic four-wheeler. Blue Pegasus staying in the air helping with air attacks
Jura faces off with Ajeel, Orga wants a punch out with Bakel, and Rufus will handle Karrem
It cuts to Fiore where Acnologia says that it’s time as he has healed from his wounds with Igneel
It cuts to the second FT team: Levy is a little concerned about Laxus and the thunder god tribe, but they will have to push through
August and Brandish are awaiting anyone coming near them
Brandish saying that Irene is crazy for aligning herself with Zeref, but August stresses that he will always follow his queen’s commands
It then cuts to Wendy and Carla, Wendy yells at Carla for retreating and Carla says she won’t lose the person she cares about most and reveals she had a premonition of Erza and Mira battered and beaten on the ground
Wendy says she’s a mage of FT and she won’t stop fighting
It cuts to Natsu who awakens to find himself inside a coliseum. There waiting for him is God Serena
Zeref is also there and says that this is “Abyss”, an arena in a city next to Visterion. Zeref tells Natsu that he promised a dragon king for God Serena to fight and says that who wins will be worth fighting Acnlogia
Natsu asks why and Zeref reveals that Natsu and the other 4 DS are from 400 years in the past. Their job was to grow strong and vanquish Acnologia in the this timeline and now it’s time to prove it
Zeref has two hidden intentions though, if Serena can kill Natsu then Zeref truly has nothing to regret when using the Eclipse Gate, but if Natsu defeats Zeref than that means he now has the power to kill him
God Serena has a his backstory told through flashback, but he fights Natsu and is crushing him
Natsu gets a few shots in, but Serena is way to strong, thus pushing Natsu to fully use his Fire Dragon King Mode
It cuts to Lucy and Mira in a cell together, with Gray across from them, and all are surprised to see Yukino
Juliet and Heine show up (They’ve been popping up in the background durning a lot of the Alvarez scenes) and they are here to bring Gray to Invel
Lucy yells about the keys and Juliet reveals they have them, but they’re holding on to the silver and black one as they are not needed
Lucy yeellsks that if they want all the zodiac it’s pointless since she doesn’t now where Aquarius is, but Juliet says that lord Zeref already has it
Mira asks about Erza and Heine says that she’s being brought to Irene
Cut to the fight between Natsu and Serena and it is now on equal footing
Natsu wins, but uses up all his fire dragon king power and Zeref is horrified so he decides to agitate the etherios power in Natsu, but this causes Natsu to pass out
It cuts to Dimaria who’s been itching to fight, but no sign of anybody, but someone does show up and it’s Crime Sociere coming out of the water in the Olympia
It cuts around to the B team (Who with Laxus and The Thundr God Tribe Gone are just Cana, Elfman, Juvia, Gajeel, Mystogan, Levy, and Panterlily) trying to sneak around using Mystogan’s mist to guard them, but find no Fairy Heart in the Alvarez magic archive and study building
They Realize it must be in the capital like they had suspected, but they realize they can’t get in contact with anyone meaning they’ve likely been captured
August discovers them and he takes on Mystogan, Gajeel, and Elfman
Brandish takes on Levy and Cana
It then cuts to Sting, Rogue, and Minerva on the magic four-wheeler en route to Visterion
We cut to Fiore where Jacob has successfully stolen the eclipse gate and has landed on Caracole Island, but due to how massive the thing is and it absorbing a lot of Magic from him, he needs to rest, but while there he notices someone coming towards Caracole, Gildart who took so long because he didn’t bother getting a boat
Jacob has hidden his presence, but notices Gildarts now talking to Blank about the Fairy Tail guild, but then there’s something else coming, Acnologia
Jacob uses the ensuing chaos to get out of there with the gate, but Gildarts tells Blank to evacuate as many people as he can from the Island and Gildarts will fight Acnologia
They fight with it nearly leveling the entire island, but Gildarts giving it everything is not enough, however, even Acnologia needs to recuperate
In Milidan, Crime Sociere deals with some of Dimaria’s squad, but then Dimaria gets an audience with them Ultear feeling something odd about her. Racer even feels it too
It cuts to the fight with August and Brandish: while it semi focuses on August and fight revealing he’s mastered every caster type magic, it mainly focuses on Levy and Cana managing to pull one over on Brandish, but then Brandish gets big. Levy says to use Fairy Glitter on Brandish, but she’ll just shrink it
But the Thunder God Tribe returns to help against Brandish
It then cuts too the capital where Gray is now awoken by Invel
Invel begins trying to force Gray into his devil slaying magic, infuriating him and letting him give into his anger, even having Neinhart make a long distance Historia of Ur to mess with him
We see that Invel mentally doesn’t trust Zeref as when we see in flashback when Zeref made his offer to Irene to make her human and how he wants Acnologia dead
Invel continued to question it saying that even with their power, the chance of beating Acnologia is near impossible, but Zeref reveals that he can’t kill Acnologia, because acnologia is the Black Dragon, he eats Black Magic, so his death perdition doesn’t work
He reveals that he can make Irene human by stopping the process before it happens, with the Eclipse Gate and the Heart he’ll be able to open a hole in time and stop Irene from losing her humanity and by doing that back in the past, she’ll be able to kill Acnologia early
But Invel is still suspicious of Zeref and says altering history like that would mean their glorious empire won’t be built
But Zeref has agreed to let Irene give herself the complete history of Alvarez so the whole continent can still be under her rule, just under the banner of Dragnof
Invel asked Dimaria if she was okay with this and Dimaria just said it’s time being altered, not destroyed so there’s no need to stop this plan
But Invel is afraid of Zeref’s own want to die will interfer with the altering history thus wasting their time, so with Gray’s Devil Slayer magic, Invel will use him to kill Natsu, stopping Zeref from screwing all of them over
He gets the shit kicked out him by Gray, but then tells him about Natsu and Gray begins a trek to his location
Cut to Wendy sneaking into the palace prison to find her captured friends
It cuts to Milidan where Dimaria and Crime Sociere are and they fight
Ultear then finds out about Zeref’s plan and says that she’s there to kill Zeref, but Dimaria reveals that she is Chronos
Cobra questions if she’s the goddess of time, then why would she allow this to happen
Chronos explains that it doesn’t care if tihs timeline is altered, time still exists. It’s not like Zeref wants to be the king of time or anything, he just wants to alter history
Comparing it to the Celestial Spirit King, does he care about anything unless the stars that he is god of start going out or does Ankherseram care what happens to life as long as it obeys his laws
Utear has to sacrifice everything to help beat Dimaria and Cobra and Meredy say they’ll beat Zeref
Wendy busts everyone out of jail, but they are caught by Heine and Juliet, but Mira makes quick work of them
Lucy and Yukino hunt for their keys, but Mira and Wendy go ahead and try to find Erza
Erza awakens in a room to find herself dressed in new clothing and face to face with Irene
It cuts to August who’s defeated Mystogan, but Now Cana joins the fray with Gajeel and Elfman
The thunder god tribe bring down Brandish, infuriating August who transforms into his dark mode, saying they will not stop Ragnorak. Then proceeds to just stomps on the other characters
The enraged Gray comes across the transforming Natsu and they battle, Gray still being manipulated to do his deeds and Natsu being driven by the promise to his father to kill Zeref and they clash
The clash is inter cut with Sabertooth arriving at the fortress outside VIsterion where Neinhart is and they fight
Gray and Natsu’s clash ultimately falls in favor of Gray, but he realizes he can’t kill Natsu, because he’s might be END, but he’s still Natsu
Natsu is unconscious and Gray decides to carry him on his back
It cuts to the fight with August and Brandish, August is incredibly strong, but Cana whips out Fairy Glitter
Fairy Glitter, does massive damage to August, but it isn’t enough and August says he’ll crush them all starting with Levy
After everything Gajeel stands up and unlocks dragon force and fights August
Gajeel targets each wound caused by his friends on August thus beating him back the fight ends with Gajeel defeating August
Gajeel doesn’t want to strike a final blow even though August tells him to, but Brandish stops August
Bradish has been moved by Ishgar and their quest to keep Fairy Heart from doing damage and August reveals what Ragnorak is, the end of all current things. Zeref’s plan will likely erase this timeline completely
It cuts to Irene and Erza who are discussing. Erza is shocked at Irene and questions how she’s here and ruler of Alvarez
Irene begins a flashback and how she ruled the kingdom of Dragnof
Dragnof was different from the dragons in the west, the eastern dragons were very virtuous and kind, Belserion the sage Dragon raising the young queen after her parents had died
Belserion was the leader due to his wisdom and he expressed how the dragons of the west were going to expand their influence to the east
Irene and the humans wanted to assist, but her husband says it would be a waste given how strong dragons are
It became evident that even with the power dragons of the east had, they were no where near as capable of battle as the ones from the west
Irene then used her enchantment to give herself dragon magic. Through this the battle hardened soldiers of Dragnof could fight with the strength of Dragons
Even though this help turn the tide slightly in favor of the east it was still difficult, the western dragons were relentless
Soon more capable people had to be drafted into the war with one of them being the child taken in by the black dragon. This child was Acnologia
The battle was turning in favor of Dragnof now, even people praising the soldier Acnologia, how just for being a new recruit he’s been a monster. Winning many battles
Irene’s husband does feel a little threatened by the fact a 17 year old orphan could do that
But Irene reveals she’s becoming more like a dragon. She freaks wanting to reverse this, believing her husband when he says it would be okay for them to divert concentration to finding a cure
More soldiers started developing these signs and one of them of is Acnologia
Eventually Irene thought she had created a cure with dragon lacrima, but Acnologia had went on a rampage killing indiscriminately, with the lacrima being lost and Irene and her family fleeing the country
Dragnof had fallen, but the war was won by Igneel and a coalition of western dragons who supported living with humans
Irene had fully been suspected as being a dragon from her husband’s kingdom and she was forced into her dragon form
Irene went into hiding with her eventually gicing birth to the human Erza, she waas unfit to raise Erza
She wasn’t born a dragon like Belserion and thought that she herself mattered more
Zeref had appeared and offered to help Irene. He brought her to Alvarez and gave her human form, telling her to rally the people and with her leadership skill she can make herself an strong empire
She however hesitated with Erza not knowing what to do with her. She couldn’t kill her so Zeref had agreed that he could make sure she never had to deal with her
He took her to the eclipse gate, but Igneel couldn’t give her any of his dragon slaying magic, but Zeref said don’t bother just bring her through the gate and drop her off at some orphanage
Grandeeney did and left her in Rosemary
Irene then with no more qualms and no more worries started to take over and expand Alvarez and though victory was sweet, she could never enjoy it and she longed to be human once more
Erza questions why did she bother telling her this and Irene wanted to ask Erza if she could convince her friends to open the Eclipse gate, so Irene could stop the fall of Dragnof and loss of her humanity
It cuts out to sea where GIldarts awakens in a sickbay on the “Caracole Deep” a facility for emergences and Blank explains that they ran from Acnologia, who is now revitalized and heading for Alvarez
It cuts to Jacob, finally appearing with the Eclipse gate, and Zeref says he’ll just need to modify the Fairy Heart to it, so that he may be able to add to the eclipse gate’s power
Jacob questions why and Zeref expains that the gate can only be connected by another gate in time, but the issue with the gate is it wasn’t invented till after Irene had turned into a dragon so tere’s no way to go back and stop it, but with the Fairy Heart’s infinite magic power, he’s going to rip a hole in time. Go back before the eclipse gate was made and stop everything before it happens
It cuts to Erza asking why Irene would do this and Irene wants her humanity back, her happiness. And Erza can share in that
Erza is confused for a moment hearing Irene’s story and the realization that she has always been alive
Erza tells her that no matter what she would never side with someone so selfish. Even if they plan on benefiting the world, going about it for selfish reasons and endangering everyone with little regard. Is no one she would join (Remembering Jellal) No matter how much she cared about them
Irene says that she’s Erza’s mother and she can’t believe Erza would call her that and Erza says her parent is Makarov
Irene in anger tells her that she is part of the problem and blasts her out of the palace
Erza fights her for a bit, but then Mira and Wendy show up and help fight
It cuts to the recovering B team and Brandish offering to go to the palace as their captive and let them get close to Irene
They agree but realize they’ll need to walk on foot, but then Crime Sociere shows up and they say they’re going to the same place (with Dimaria as their hostage)
Irene enters her dragon form and begins to fight and the FT mages realize they are outclassed
It cuts to Sabertooth and their four-wheeler letting Gray and Natsu ride with them up to the palace Natsu inside his “heart”
There he talks with Igneel and we learn about Natsu’s past a bit
How Igneel met Zeref and how it affected his view on humans and how he couldn’t defeat END
Natsu says all he wants to do is honor Igneel’s last wishes, but he can’t without killing Zeref. Natsu cries and starts saying how he feels like a failure for never finding Igneel and an even bigger failure watching him die
He wants to make it up by killing Zeref like he asked, but with the dragon power gone, he’ll have to rely on END’s power
Igneel says that Natsu will always be his Natsu, no matter what
Natsu asks if he uses END’s power he might kill people, he doesn’t want to endanger his friends
Igneel tells Natsu that he isn’t alone, his friends will be there, if he becomes END or gives into that power he’ll have them to fall back on
Natsu says he’ll stop this empire and save the guild
He awakens on the four-wheeler and is all ready to fight
Erza’s group tries everything, but nothing works, but Irene halts when she notices Acnologia far off coming towards Alvarez
Cut to the battleground between Ishgar and Alvarez
The Ishgar forces are giving a real beat down, Orga punching-out Bakel, Rufus defeating Kareem, and Jura slamming Ajeel into the ground
Then Acnologia shows up on the radar and just blast through all sky traffic
Blue Pegasus is able to take sudden action, but Rune Force falls to the ground, and smaller bomber ships are just annihilated.
Everyone knows this looks the end with Acnologia approaching Visterion, Irene tries to slow him down so Zeref has the time to finish the gate, by summoning all manner off things to contain him
Irene then returns to Human form and rushes to her palace
All the groups start converging, the Sabertooth four-wheeler finding where Erza, Mira, and Wendy are and offer support
Natsu and Gray run to confront Zeref and they run into Lucy and Yukino, who still haven’t located their keys
Cut to Zeref saying that he’ll have his happy ending and Jacob questions how the door will open and Zeref says that he knows celestial spirit magic as being taught by Anna
Jacob says if he’s finished then he’ll get Irene, but Zeref says Irene will not get her hands on this, saying that her life is not worth it and kills Jacob
Irene is livid, she can’t believe that she was lied to by Zeref and he kills her with death pillar when she yells she’ll run through the gate
Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Yukino show up, saying they’re here to stop him
Zeref reveals what his plans are and how he was just using Irene. He’ll open this portal, but he’ll walk through, he wouldn’t waste it on Irene
Lucy asks how Zeref got the Aquarius key and he says he found it in his travels, he had heard of its destruction over Tartaros and spent a year looking for it, making Lucy feel guilty for never finding it
natsu asks if he wants to die why not let Acnologia kill him and Zeref says he tried, but it failed, and then Natsu asks why he doesn’t kill Acnologia if he views him as a threat
Zeref says Acnologia was born from fighting and killing dragons, it’s what he lives for, but if all DS die, then in his boredom, he’ll spend his time crushing humans to rid his boredom
Zeref being Immortal will most likely become his plaything
Zeref opens the gate and they feel the immense time magic, soon the sky starts glowing white, as all over the people realize this
Zeref says that this time will cease to be, but of course the team won’t let him pass
Natsu says they don’t have to beat Zeref or kill him, they just gotta stop him from entering the gates
Lucy and Yukino are in charge of destroying the gate, while Gray and Natsu fight Zeref
Lucy and Yukino realize that with only their silver keys there isn’t much they can do, but with Yukino’s black key they can do damage
Lucy also hears the voices of all the celestial spirits and says she won’t let them down
Zeref keeps getting pushed back as he launches every magic he’s learned at them
Natsu enters Dragon force and Gray enters Devil Slayer mode and they continue to push back
Natsu tells Gray he’s fully ready to use END’s power to fight, but if so, Gray will have to stop him
The fight keeps going with Yukino and Ophiuchus doing most heavy damage and Lucy using her Fleuve d'étoiles to help
Lucy yells they’ll need more power and notices that it’s to destroy if only they had more power
When Zeref is fully ready to kill with his opponents, Ophiuchus uses its body to shield Natsu and Gray
With it being a spirit, it won’t die from the black magic
Lucy casts Urano Metria and destroys the gate
The sky returns to normal and Zeref is horrified that his plan has failed, so he runs away defeated
It cuts to the B team and Crime Sociere who now at the palace are wondering where Zeref went, Meredy saying she wants to know (Brandish as well)
Sabertooth reunites with Yukino and they’re so happy
But they all hear about Erza’s order to retreat and how he yells that he still smells dragons
They all debate what to do when they she Acnologia shrink and disappear, Erza saying that he’s entered his human form
Natsu says that he and the DS came from the past to fight this beast and that’s what they should do, not keep running
They all talk for a moment, saying how he’s a beast, but all the DS agree to work together
They meet Acnologia and if you’ve read my “How I would do Fairy Tail’s ending” post you know where this is going
Some minor changes like it’s all soldiers helping take down the king’s roar, Brandish slapping Zeref and yelling how he now has to take responsibility for what he’s done, Meredy is also there expressing how she wants to kill him etc.
Natsu dies happily with everyone returning to Ishgar and the series ends with a flash forward showing everybody got their happy ending
