Melee in Magnolia

At a small café somewhere in Magnolia, two men who were sitting at a table were discussing what was going on at Fairy Tail. They mentioned that the members of the guild were fighting one another, but one of the men thought it wasn't serious. A woman who was standing by them with a child stated that it wasn't just a normal Fairy Tail quarrel; she tells them that they have been seriously going at each other.
A small distance away at another table Chun and Hen were sitting, with the latter stuffing his face with an omelet, the disturbing part was that he was eating it with his bare hands.
Chun while drinking her tea gave a horrified look at the Earthbender. "So… you… ever consider using a fork and knife you know, like regular people?"
Hen stopped his assault on his food in front of him and looked to be thinking. "Hmm… not really!" He continued eating, while Chun continued drinking her tea.
"So, you heard what those people were talking about, right?"
"Yep." Hen replied. "Fairy Tail members are fighting each other… that's good for us right?"
"Normally it would be, but…" Chun flashed back to when Kobu was telling them about the Thunder God Tribe. "I wonder, maybe this isn't some rivalry between members, maybe something serious is going on."
"You know what I say?" Hen began as he stood. He punched his fists together. "We should take advantage of the situation and take out as many Fairy Tail members as we can!"
"Uh… Earth to Hen, that is a bad idea… if they saw us, they would stop their fights and come straight for us, we're heavily outnumbered as it is. We're just not powerful enough to beat the odds like that."
"So what do we do now?"
"Let's just get out of here until this all dies down."
"And not smash some heads while these guys are distracted? Ha! I think not! I say, we charge through the chaos and defeat as many of them as we can."
Chun placed her tea cup on the table. "Look, I'll think about it… Ugh! Can we seriously go through one day without concerning ourselves with Fairy Tail or the Avatar? I know we have a job to do, but still… I want to know what it's like… to be a normal girl for once, without stressing about training or about this job." Hen turned around as if he sensed something. "Hen? What is it?"
"GET DOWN!" he leapt across the table and pounced on Chun covering her body from the explosion that happened behind them. From the dust a figure in a black body suit who had brown hair in a ponytail was nimbly jumping around and he landed on the roof.
"What's happening!?" Chun screamed.
"Fairy Tail!" Hen growled.
"Fairy Tail again?" One of the men from the other table yelled.
"Don't go crazy in the city!"
"Citizens?" The guild member said. "It seems the rules inside the rune barriers only affect wizards."
"Vijeeter!" He heard.
"Nab!" The man now known as Vijeeter looked onto the roof and saw a figure land on it as well. "Play nice and let yourself get blown away!" Nab exclaimed. He was dark skinned with an open vest that was green and dark green, he wore brown pants, he had a skull necklace around his neck and had short brown hair. "If I don't put you to sleep, I can't go search for Laxus!" his fist looked to be engulfed by a red flaming energy.
"This isn't the time to be fighting among ourselves, but if that's the way you want it!" Vijeeter spun around Nab's attack avoiding it.
"What… the…?" Chun began, suddenly Hen grabbed her hand.
"C'mon!" He yelled.
"Huh… what!?"
Behind them another two figures burst through a wall. They were Max and Warren.
"Max!" Warren began. "I've seen through your plans. You're planning a surprise attack using your Sand Magic, aren't you?"
Max who was still in his suit he wore for the contest had sand forming on his right fist. 
"Your specialty, Telepathy? But even if you know it's coming! You can't dodge my attack Warren!" Max yelled. His sand began surrounding Warren. "Take this!" Max tried to punch Warren but he missed.
"I told you, I can read your mind!"
Hen stood in front of Chun while she looked spooked and confused. "What's going on here?" she asked.
"I don't know, but… like hell I am I walking away from this!" Max was forming a sand cyclone around himself while Warren had his pointing fingers to his temple. "HEY FAIRY TAIL!" a huge slab of rock from the ground flew to Max which forced him into a building which exploded, the force of the attack was enough to knock Max out. Hen revealed himself from the dust with a serious look on his face. "You say you can predict movements… well see if you can predict mine!"
"W-who are you!?" Warren asked.
"I'm the guy who's going to kick your ass!" He ran to Warren and magnetized rocks to make a rock fist in his right hand but Warren jumped in the air to avoid it.
"It's no use! I can read your mind, and predict every move you're going to make!" Hen dropped his rock fist and smirked while turning his head to Warren.
"Is that a fact?" he cracked his neck and his fists and gave a confident glare at Warren. He stomped hard on the ground, forcing a line of small columns sped to Warren but he easily avoided it, however he felt the ground around him shake, soon a huge column shot him high into the air.
"I've never seen an Earth Wizard like him before." Warren thought. He quickly knew that Hen would jump after him, when this happened. He grabbed the Earthbender's arm and tossed him back to the ground which made a dust cloud where Hen landed. When Warren landed on the ground he saw no sign of the Earthbender. "Where did he go?" he quickly realized something after landing on the ground. "I can't read his thoughts anymore!"
The ground crumbled behind him and Hen's right fist was surrounded in magnetized rock although this fist was the height of half of Warren's body he arched it back preparing to punch Warren. "Here's my secret! I move on instinct!" he gave a very hard punch to Warren that connected and threw him past three buildings, on the fourth building a huge dust explosion occurred. "Haha! Who's next?! Huh?" He saw that no one was there and Chun was standing there pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration. "Oh, well no one I guess."
"YOU IDIOT!" Chun comically yelled with a vein on her forehead. "You just put a target on our backs! You trying to get us killed!?"
"Hey, if they are going to go around fighting… they need to make sure that I'm not around, these Fairy Tail wizards, a bunch of overconfident rookies if you ask me." Hen said.
"Well this is quite a mess you made." They heard. Both saw Kobu walking up to them.
"Kobu!" Chun happily exclaimed.
"When I heard a nearby explosion, I thought for sure it was you. And unfortunately, I was right." The Water bender said.
"I sure kicked their asses huh?"
"Their rookie and lower level wizards might be green, but Fairy Tail is crawling with them and when one of their powerful ones hit, its game over. That's why we need to get the hell out of here, Fairy Tail wizards are fighting all over the city, this gives us the perfect opportunity to slip out without being detected…" he looked to Hen. "Despite you going crazy…" the Earthbender performed an awkward laugh.
"You came back? That means you do care." Chun figured.
The waterbender chuckled. "Ha, you wish. I just knew you two wouldn't get out of here by yourselves, plus Ping would be mad if I decided to let you guys die here. We've talked for long enough, we have to move." Kobu began to lead Chun and Hen through the carnage of Magnolia so that they can escape.
However on a roof nearby Freed had seen everything and had a scowl present on his face.
----Elsewhere Macao and Wakaba were fighting, the latter was on a roof staring down Macao from the ground.
"This is for Mira, so just take your defeat like a man!" Macao started. "A Married man shouldn't be chasing after her."
"Like you should talk, divorcée!" Wakaba countered.
"Bring it on!"
…
In a part of the city where there were multiple stands. Laki stood surrounded by four girls wielding weapons. The girls were now commenting on her looks because she cut her hair short.
"Laki! Yeah, it's the Harvest Festival, but…"
"Your new look, looks slutty!"
"Gunning for the Miss Fairy Tail Contest?"
Laki now started talking. "All I did was cut my hair, and look at all the fuss…" she quickly performed a pose. "I'm such a bad girl." She said not taking their comments seriously, this made the four of them mad as they proceeded to attack her.
Once they attacked her Laki shot her palms into the ground and many wooden weapons shot from the ground defeating all four of the girls instantly
…
Two guild members were shot to a wall and stayed there because they were covered in mud. This was revealed to be Alzack, after he had defeated them, he ran to find Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe.
----Back in the guild, Aang, Natsu, Happy and Makarov were standing in front of the invisible wall that showed Freed's runes on it. Happy was reading the results of the battles that were going on all over the city. "Vijeeter vs. Nab. Winner: Nab. Laki took out four, Macao vs. Wakaba's battle is in progress." Happy read.
"Enough Stop this, you foolish children!" Makarov said in rising anger.
"This is horrible." Aang said.
Suddenly another result appeared on the wall. Happy began to read it. "Huh, what is this!?"
"What is it Happy?" Natsu asked.
"Warren vs. Max vs. Hen. Winner: Hen?"
"I've never heard of someone named Hen in our guild." Natsu said.
"There are many people you haven't heard of in the guild Natsu." Aang said.
"Rune traps have been set up throughout the city." Happy began to explain. "And the ones who are trapped inside are forced to fight." Makarov and Natsu were getting mad while Aang looked to be thinking. "This is the Battle of Fairy Tail Laxus was talking about."
"But why! I don't get it!" Natsu said looking angry.
"Natsu…"
He slammed the side of his face against the wall and it showed red runes where his body was touching it. "I wanna join, too!"
Aang, Makarov and Happy were surprised that all Natsu wanted to do was fight. "That's what he's upset about!"
"What's with this invisible wall?!" Natsu was panting after putting all his energy into going through the wall.
Makarov stretched his hand and smacked Natsu on the back of his head. "And what do you plan to do by joining in?"
"It's a tournament to see who's the strongest!"
"How is this, a tournament?"
"Uh are you two done arguing?" Sokka asked.
Makarov folded his arms. "This is all just Laxus' plan to get us to wipe each other out!" Aang questionably looked at Makarov. "Unless we can defeat the Thunder God Tribe within the time limit, Erza and the other girls will turn to dust. Everyone is doing what they can to prevent that. It'll need something more than our usual way of thinking to take control of the situation!" Makarov knew for sure that Laxus was going to follow through on his threat. "At this rate everyone who was turned to stone will crumble to dust. There won't be an easy way to restore them."
Natsu didn't believe what Makarov said about Laxus. "Laxus acts bad, but he ain't gonna go that far." Makarov, Happy and Sokka looked at Natsu. "Yeah, he gets on my nerves, but he's a fellow guild member. It's a bluff, honestly."
"Natsu…" Makarov said.
"No. I believe him." Aang said. "Maybe there is something we are missing, maybe he knew that we would all fall for this, I mean he even had me going for a second there. Deep down I'm sure he wouldn't want anything to happen to his guildmates." Zuko seeing this didn't looked convinced by Natsu and Aang's words. He looked at Mai's stone body and he glared. He knew deep down that this was more than just a fighting tournament.
Natsu sped to the wall to try and go through it again. "This is just a Fighting Festival, but why can't I get out!?"
"I can go through it normally!" Happy said mocking Natsu.
"People over 80 years old can't pass through… Does that mean I'm over 80 Aah!"
"You're obviously not an old man!" Sokka deadpanned.
Happy flew next to Natsu. "I don't think you are, but…"
Makarov looked at Aang and Natsu. "You both don't believe Laxus will go that far?"
More runes appeared on the wall. "There's 2 hours and 18 minutes left." Happy read. "And there are 42 people and 3 outsiders left."
Makarov had a shocked look on his face. "42 people? More than half are gone after the in-fighting!?"
"What I want to know is who the outsiders are?" Zuko asked.
"I like this less and less." Sokka said.
----Macao was still fighting against Wakaba. 
"Ha! Purple Rain!" He shot a storm of purple fireballs at Wakaba who exploded into pink smoke after he was hit. Macao was now sweating as he heard Wakaba from behind.
There were four of them standing there. "My Smoke Fake. You're getting rusty. You've always been too soft on people." Wakaba said with an evil face.
…
Gray meanwhile was running through the city. "Damn it! Where are the Thunder God Tribe?"
Suddenly Bickslow's totem dolls maneuvered behind him. "It's Gray!" they both fired a green energy beam at him. The blast, forced Gray into a clothing store.
"Damn! Those are Bickslow's!"
"Yo!" he heard. Gray looked behind him to see Bickslow behind him, folding his arms with a confident look on his face. "Let's play!"
…
Elfman meanwhile had encountered another member of the Thunder God Tribe. "Evergreen!" he growled. The woman stood with a smug face, while looking at Elfman. He charged to the woman. "If you're a man, then don't take hostages! Return my sister and the others to normal!" he demanded.
Evergreen remained calm and adjusted her glasses. "Well I'm not a man…" she lifted her glasses, her eyes began glowing. Elfman knew he couldn't look into her eyes so he closed his eyes and charged right into a flower shop, destroying it in the process. "I love flowers. They look so good… on me." Elfman performed a full body Take Over into his Beast Soul. Scared citizens were gathering around them. "The only thing that's cute about you is your name." she opened her fan before moving it in front of her face.
Elfman had a blindfold over his eyes. "Return my sister and the others to normal!" he once again demanded.
"Can you beat me while you are blindfolded?" Evergreen asked. Elfman prepared to punch her but the attack missed as Evergreen swiftly flew from the attack.
"Toph says I can use my other senses! I'll find you!" when she landed on the ground behind him, his sharp ears moved and he sniffed her. "There you are!" he proceeded to throw another punch and was much closer this time, only punching the ground she was standing on.
Evergreen now levitated in the air by the use of her wings, they also radiated fairy dust. "I see! So you can tell where I am by smell and by hearing. It's too bad you are already in my Fairy Dust." The dust surrounding Elfman began to glow. "Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!" the Fairy Dust exploded all over Elfman causing severe pain, he fell to his stomach as Evergreen landed on her left knee. "I love statues. No matter how ugly a monster might be, they become a beautiful work of art when turned to stone." Evergreen lifted her glasses again. "Now gaze at me. Give your body up to beauty…" Elfman was now turned to stone.
----At the guild they were still looking at the runes that were constantly changing. "Evergreen vs. Elfman. Winner: Evergreen." Makarov read. "Elfman: Out of action."
Natsu and Makarov looked mad while Happy was now getting more and more concerned. "I can't believe Elfman got beat." Happy said. Of course Natsu was mad for a more different reason.
"Gray is fighting Bickslow! I want in!" He said.
"Reedus is fighting Freed, too! The Thunder God tribe has started to make their move!" Happy stated
----The sound of explosions were heard as far as the edge of town. On the path way out of town; Kobu, Chun and Hen were now walking as they had gotten far from the fighting.
"Well we should be safe now." Kobu said.
"Man it stinks, I only got to fight one of them." Hen said disappointment present in his tone.
"Let's hope that it stays that way." Chun added. The three heard voices nearby. "You guys hear that?"
"Whatever it is, we should leave it alone, we have to focus on our own safety." Kobu reminded. Chun ran to the source of the commotion. "Hey, d-don't! Ugh! Stupid Girl!" Hen began to follow her leaving the Waterbender alone to sigh. "We're gonna get killed today!"
When they turned a corner they saw Freed pointing his sword at Reedus' face. Chun's eyes showed fear. "Freed…" Reedus began. "I'm begging you, don't hurt anyone any more… You aren't that kind of man…" After that Reedus passed out.
Freed turned. "Battle of Fairy Tail… 40 people left."
Chun's scared face turned to anger and clenched her fist. "Battle of Fairy Tail… Is this like a game to him?!" Chun looked to Reedus. "That man looks hurt… I know they are the enemies… but what kind of a person would I be if I let this happen. Contest or not… Allies shouldn't fight against each other… I have to put a stop to this!" A wall of bright purple flames surged in front of Freed causing him to step back. He looked back and saw Chun, Kobu and Hen with the Firebender in a fighting stance. "Get away from him!" she yelled.
Freed maintained the scowl on his face "So you are benders who are trying to capture the Avatar? Am I wrong?"
"Yeah we are, what of it!?" Hen yelled.
Kobu stepped forward. "Well we can tell that your guild has some issues to work out, so we'll be on our way if you don't mind."
"No!" Chun said. "Everyone in your guild is fighting each other, running around like headless possum chickens and for what? This isn't just some fighting contest is it?"
"You are correct, this is the Battle of Fairy Tail, and our goal is to have everyone in Fairy Tail wipe themselves out."
"That's insane!" Chun yelled.
"And also not our problem!" Kobu said. "I'm leaving, you two can duke it out if you want to!" Kobu ran to leave the city but he ran into an invisible wall that prevented him from leaving, red runes appeared around where he hit the wall. "What the hell!?"
"Let me try!" Hen said. He magnetized rocks to his fist and ran to the invisible wall and began punching it relentlessly but he wouldn't break through. "OH! COME ON!" he slammed his head into the wall and unsurprisingly enough it didn't work he was now comically kicking the wall as Freed started talking.
"So you trap us? What's next you're going to kill us?" Kobu asked.
"No, the three of you are now part of the Battle of Fairy Tail."
"As if! We don't want part in your silly squabble!"
"Forget it!" Chun yelled. "I won't fight if it is for your sick amusement! Fairy Tail is our enemy but this… making them fight each other is wrong, getting innocent people dragged into it is even worse! I'm not going to fight you hear me!?"
"I say we do it!" Hen excitedly yelled. "An all-out Brawl! Sign me up!" both Kobu and Chun smacked the back of Hen's head.
"SHUT UP IDIOT!" They yelled.
"I will not allow anyone to break my rules." Freed said.
"Wait your rules… hold on, you're part of the Thunder God Tribe aren't you?" Kobu said. "Well if we're going to be forced to fight in your stupid guild war. Then let us be the first ones to take you down!"
"You made light of our guild that was a big mistake." Freed began. "Our members are fully going at it; I have prevented anyone from leaving. If you wish to survive, then you must fight." Chun and Kobu had shocked faces. "I would say this isn't personal, but I'd be lying. You each bear the stain of the Fire Nation, and are not worthy or even recognition."
Chun looked hurt by that comment and didn't give a response. "Don't side me with them." Kobu darkly said. "The Fire Nation is a nest of serpents that would go to great lengths to destroy anyone who even sneezes in their path. They invaded my home, killed an important Spirit to my Water Tribe, but I'm only here for revenge! The Avatar has wronged me and he will pay and anyone else standing in my way will pay too. I only bear the stain of the accursed Fire Nation because I have to. So don't think for one second that I support the Fire Nation. I'm here for my own personal reasons. People from the Fire Nation… are not human! And Firebenders are nothing more than demons on leashes. And after the Avatar has been slain, I will destroy the Fire Nation with my own two hands!" when he said this Chun's eyes grew and looked at Kobu in a state of shock.
Freed began to disappear in his runes. "Now fight, or die!" when he was gone the three turned around to look at the city.
"WOOHOO!" Hen yelled. "We're going down fighting! Look out Fairy Tail! Here I come! Fairy Tail! Where are yoooou?" he sang and ran on the path back to the city like a mad man.
Chun still looked saddened by Kobu's words she heard his footsteps moving. "Kobu, I-"
He turned to face her. "I'm only going to say this once." He darkly said. "If you breathe a word about this to Ping, I will not hesitate to kill you, and your family. And that's a promise…" he finished. He took a deep breath and let out a huge sigh. "I don't want to fight either, but fighting them will make us stronger for future battles plus if we take down that guy with the green hair, we might be able to leave the city, so take it seriously." Kobu ran to follow Hen so that they won't get separated.
"Kobu… is this how the rest of the world… really thinks about us…?" Chun thought as a tear fell from her left eye. "No… I have to stay strong! If we can defeat the Thunder God Tribe… then all this will be over." Chun followed Kobu back into the city.
----Inside the Fairy Tail guild, Happy was reading the results of the matchups, but one caught his eye the most. "Reedus was Beaten!"
Natsu laughed and was getting excited. "I figure Freed could do it! Look at him go!"
"Is this really the time to be impressed!?" Happy complained. "Now we can't get any help from Porlyusica!" 
"We don't need her help! The whole turning to dust thing is a bluff."
"He isn't." Zuko said in a serious tone. "A bluff going on like this? He's taking it too far! He's serious, we need to come up with a plan."
"Have a little faith Zuko." Aang said in a laid back tone. "I know he's all kinds of arrogant, but I'm sure this really is just a bluff. I mean there is no way he would really resort to killing his comrades."
"I'm just bluffing, am I? You sure about that?" Aang, Makarov, Natsu and Happy turned around to see a thought projection of Laxus.
"Laxus!" Aang and Natsu exclaimed.
"It's a thought projection!" Happy quickly said.
"As I thought. He's not really here." Zuko said.
He walked to the four near the entrance. 
"So? Why are the two of you still here?" He asked referring to Natsu and Aang.
"As if you wouldn't know! You trapped us here." Aang replied.
Makarov growled Laxus' name while glaring at the thought projection. "Your members… Well, I guess you call them your children. I bet you can't stand watching your own children destroy each other, can you." He looked to the stone figure of Erza. "Natsu, Aang and Erza can't join in… There is no one left who could defeat my Thunder God Tribe, is there?"
Sokka pointed at Laxus. "Hey! I'm still here you know!"
The projection turned his head to face Sokka, however he had a bored expression. "Oh, you're still here? I would have thought, you would have hid under the nearest rock by now. You being known for having no magic or bending and all."
Sokka was comically stomping the floor while puffs of steam were shooting out of his ears. "I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!"
Laxus looked to Makarov. "Gonna give in?"
"Gray is still here!" Happy yelled. "He's about as strong as Natsu! He ain't gonna lost to no Thunder God Tribe!"
Natsu had a comically angry expression and looked at his feline companion. "THE SAME AS ME!? HIM!"
"Well it's true."
"Gray!?" Laxus now had a confident tone to his voice. "I wouldn't put much faith in that brat!"
"Don't underestimate Gray, Laxus!" Makarov said.
…
At the same time Gray was still battling with Bickslow's dolls inside the clothing store. He avoided a blast from them as he jumped in the air, when he landed on the ground, he began running from them.
"Line Formation!" Bickslow yelled. The dolls stood on top of each other to form a tall totem pole. They each fired a green energy beam which combined to make a green blast in the shape of an arc, it tore through the store floor. Gray performed a flip to dodge this beam. Bickslow laughed at Gray's agility. "Ha ha! Not bad, Gray!" He pointed to the target. "Next up, Victory Formation!" when nothing happened he got confused. "What's up babies?" the sound of Gray's ice was heard. Bickslow saw his five dolls frozen in ice on the floor. "Huh? When did he-" a shadowed figure of Gray rushed through the smoke, Bickslow was so distracted that it allowed Gray to drive his knee into Bickslow's chin.
As he flew back Gray was about to attack again. "Ice Make: Hammer!" he conjured an ice hammer to slam into Bickslow.
"X Formation!" He yelled while crossing his arms in an 'X' shape. Suddenly four adult mannequins and one of a baby floated in the path of the ice hammer, blocking it from hitting Bickslow and causing it to shatter.
"What's this!?" The mannequins were floating by Bickslow's side.
"Part of my Seith Magic is the ability to possess the souls of dolls! Even if you freeze the dolls I can transfer their souls to new bodies." He explained.
"What? This guy's going to be annoying!" the Ice wizard growled.
"Don't you get it, no matter how many of my dolls you destroy, I'll just make new ones."
Gray pointed his palms forward. "Then I'll freeze you directly instead!" he shot a freezing ray from his hands but they hit the dolls as Bickslow ran from him.
"Go ahead and try!"
Bickslow ran out of the store and Gray gave chase. "What, running away already!?" Bickslow was just laughing as he continued to run from Gray in the streets of Magnolia. Bickslow ran into an alley, when Gray followed him he disappeared. "That bastard, where the hell did he go?"
"Uh here, Gray!" Bickslow had his feet planted on the walls high in the alley between the buildings making it easy for him to stay above the ground.
"What in the world are you up to?"
"I told you! I want to play with strong opponents. My babies are getting' all bored recently!"
Purple runes appeared behind Gray, trapping him within them. "Runes!" Gray exclaimed.
"Using magic is prohibited for those within the barrier until the battle is over!" Bickslow explained.
"One of Freed's trap!?" He figured.
"Guess a long-distance wizard like myself has a bit of an advantage here!" Bickslow's dolls appered in the alleyway and began firing green energy beams at Gray direction which caused numerous explosions around the buildings there. "I knew that without your magic, you'd be completely helpless!"
"You Think!?" Gray without his jacket began scaling the alley walls by wall jumping from one to another which surprised Bickslow. He was high enough to punch Bickslow. Two dolls appeared to Gray's side. "You think you can hit me?" however he was distracted when a little girl through a window of a different building saw what was going on. He was distracted long enough for the dolls green energy blasts to hit Gray forcing him to the wall causing a huge smoke cloud.
"That won't cut it, Gray!" But Gray didn't give up and charged right through the smoke and punched Bickslow in the face, he landed on his back. Gray however looked very weak, and slammed to the ground. The little girl he saw looked concerned but her mother soon pulled her from the window. After Gray hit the ground Bickslow got up. "Why that little… And after he got hit by my babies like that!" Gray was on the ground with his eyes closed. Bickslow moved his foot to his stomach to see if he was conscious, when he wasn't he gave a relieved sigh. "My extra clothing helped cushion against the damage… Don't go scaring me like that. You should wear some extra clothing Gray." Bickslow left the alley while laughing.
…
Back at the Fairy Tail guild, Aang, Natsu, Makarov and Happy saw that the runes had changed again. Laxus' projection was still there. "Gray is out of commission. 32 people left." Laxus read. Aang, Happy and Natsu were shocked that Gray lost. Laxus now laughed. "See didn't I tell you?" Natsu's anger was beginning to grow.
"Liar! I'm sure that he used some dirty trick!"
Laxus walked up to Makarov. "So who will beat the Thunder God Tribe now?" he asked with a confident smile.
"Gajeel will!" Happy said.
"What! That metal eatin' jerk?!" Sokka exclaimed
"Too bad. Doesn't seem like he's participatin'." Laxus said. "He doesn't give a damn about the guild, I'm sure."
"I could say the same thing about you Laxus." Aang said.
"Well, I'm still here!" Natsu exclaimed.
"If you can't get out, it won't do you any good." Laxus reminded.
Makarov had enough of seeing this carnage within his guild. "Fine, enough! I surrender!"
"But Gramps!" Natsu yelled.
"Now, stop this Laxus."
"Can't do that…" Laxus replied. He now had an evil smile plastered to his face. "The high and mighty Master of Fairy Tail can't go surrendering at a time like this! But if you insist, then how about you give up your position as Master to me?"
Makarov couldn't believe the request Laxus was making.
"That's playing dirty, Laxus! You scared of me, huh!?" Natsu said.
"So that was your game?" Zuko asked. "You hoped that enough blood would be spilled just to get the Master to give up his position to you? You're a real bastard, Laxus!"
Makarov glared at Laxus. "You fiend!"
"It's only one and a half hour until the statues crumble. If you want to retire, use the guild's loudspeakers and announce it so the whole town can hear. Say: 'I'm giving up my position as Master of Fairy Tail to Laxus!'" his thought projection began to disappear. "Think it through carefully. Which is more important, your position or your friends?"
"Laxus! Hold it, Damn it!" Natsu yelled. He ran to the projection and passed through it as he threw a punch to Laxus, he flew into a pillar. "If you won't fight me, how are you the strongest?" he weakly said. "How are you the master?!"
Zuko clenched his fists in anger. "I don't care about being master." Makarov said.
"Wait! You're going to just give the guild to him!?" Aang exclaimed.
"But I cannot entrust Fairy Tail to Laxus. He doesn't understand the weight of the position. He lacks conviction and heart!"
"But at this rate, Lucy and the others will turn to dust." Happy worriedly said. "Someone has to defeat Laxus and his gang, or…"
"I'll do it." Zuko said.
"What!? All by yourself!?" Aang said.
"Someone has to stop Laxus, at the rate things are going… this isn't looking good for us."
"Zuko, wait… we need to come up with a plan. If Laxus can knock Natsu out, then what chance do you have?" Sokka asked.
Suddenly from behind the bar, the sound of clanking metal was heard. Gajeel climbed up from behind the bar with a piece of metal in his mouth.
Aang, Natsu, Makarov, Zuko and Happy were looking at him. 
"Gajeel! That's where you were!?" Natsu said.
"Don't eat the dishware!" Happy said waving his paws.
"Are you going to go?" Makarov asked.
The Iron Dragon slayer landed on his feet after jumping from the bar table. "I've got a bone to pick with him." He said with a smirk. "Just leave him to me." Gajeel got to the entrance but he walked into the invisible wall and red runes prevented him from leaving. This forced comical screams from Natsu, Makarov, Aang, Zuko, Happy and Sokka.
Gajeel's face was plastered on the wall.
Sokka pointed at Gajeel. 
"Don't tell me YOU'RE over 80 too!?" Sokka screamed.
"DO I LOOK OVER 80 TO YOU!?" Gajeel yelled
----Meanwhile in the city Evergreen was using her attacks on a few of the remaining Fairy Tail wizards. "So weak…" she said to herself.
Elsewhere Nab and Laki were both running from Bickslow. "Stop it Bickslow! We're your allies!" Nab yelled.
"I'm not on the side of weaklings! Right Babies!" his totem dolls shot green energy beams at them rapidly, instantly defeating them in a huge explosion.
Meanwhile a huge explosion was heard and three mages flew through a wall. Hen revealing to have punched them through had his right arm engulfed in a huge rocky fist. "OH YEAH! CAN'T STOP ME NOW! I'M CUTTING LOOSE!" He yelled.
Elsewhere Chun stood in front of two female mages she had just defeated. She gave a huge sigh and looked at the runes blocking her path. "At this rate, we're not going to find that guy who trapped us, this who city is like a maze."
Alzack was panting while walking in the empty streets, his vision soon saw another figure, this was Kobu. "How many Fairy Tail members must I defeat?" Kobu asked.
"It's you! You're one of those who attacked our guild to find Aang!" Alzack exclaimed. He took out his magic pistols.
"Yes. This 'Battle of Fairy Tail' what is its purpose?" Kobu asked.
"As if I would tell you!" Alzack yelled. He ran to Kobu.
"Fine, have it your way!"
Alzack aimed his magic pistols at Kobu. "Guns Magic: Tornado Shot!" He shot two wind bullets from his pistols which combined and formed a tornado that was speeding to Kobu. The waterbender smirked as the tornado sped to him and a huge wind explosion was seen. When the wind cleared Alzack saw Kobu standing in a crater without a scratch on him.
"I've been improving my Waterbending since that last time, I made a water knife that was compressed enough to split your attack in half." Behind Kobu, some stands behind him to both his sides fell apart since he split the attack at the last second. "You can't beat me."
"No! I'll make sure, I beat you!" Alzack quickly placed new bullets into his right handgun. "Guns Magic: Spark Shot!" he was firing many rapid electrified bullets at Kobu's direction.
The waterbender countered throwing ice spikes at the many electric bullets, the ice spikes were generated by freezing the water in their around his hands and discharging them to towards the bullets.
Alzack's eye grew when he saw him deflect all of his attacks. "Impossible, how is he able to counter my attacks like that." Kobu was rushing to him. "Crap!" he quickly reloaded and shot blue energy bolts at him but he was easily avoiding them. When Kobu got close he tried to kick Alzack but the wizards quickly side stepped him before delivering a kick to his face. Kobu slid back and glared at him.
"Well, at least this won't be too easy." Kobu said.
"You won't stop me from defeating the Thunder God Tribe!" his guns charged an orange energy and shot two orange bullets that were thin energy beams. Kobu made a water pinwheel in front of him but froze it and the bullets were blocked by the ice.
"This ends now!" Kobu turned all his water into mist by heating it. Alzack now couldn't see through the mist.
"Damn! I can't see him!" Alzack thought. A shadow passed in his general direction to his side. "There!" he shot two bright blue energy bullets to the shadow and it made its mark and a grunt was heard. The mist quickly cleared, when Alzack went to check if he hit his mark, he saw Kobu's jacket on the ground but no Kobu. "Where did he-" a huge jet of water ran into him forcing him back this also made him drop his magic pistols.
"Seriously, you really thought that was me, don't you wizards know a trap when you see one?" Kobu said who was now in his sleeveless black and white water tribe style shirt
Alzack glared at Kobu. "I don't care what you do. I'm going to save Bisca!" he jumped onto the roof and was dodging the blasts of water Kobu was throwing at him. When Alzack was close enough he jumped off, landed on the ground close to Kobu before throwing a spin kick which forced Kobu to crash into a jewelry stand. Through the dust Alzack picked up his guns and quickly aimed them at Kobu. "It's the end for you! Tornado Shot!" His wind bullets quickly combined to form a tornado which kit Kobu who was too slow to defend against the attack causing an explosion. When Alzack saw Kobu through the dust he saw Kobu still standing with the some of the wind from his tornado spinning around him. He stood with his arms outstretched and he looked like he was concentrating really hard.
Kobu quickly opened his eyes which formed menacing glare to Alzack. The bits of wind turned into water droplets in a flash, they were floating around Kobu, and soon they froze and turned into short ice spears. Kobu quickly made the ice spears surround Alzack. "Nowhere to run!" He made all of the multiple ice spikes slash through Alzack, one sped into his thigh which forced him to the ground. Alzack tried to get up, he tightly gripped his guns but soon loosened his grip.
"…Bisca…I'm… sorry." Alzack muttered before slipping into unconsciousness.
Kobu made an insulting chuckle before turning away. "Simply pathetic…" He saw that there were runes behind him which didn't fade. "Now I have to find that green haired freak." Kobu continued walking down the streets after defeating Alzack.
----Back inside the guild it was seen that there were now only 4 members of the guild left. Makarov was stunned by this after he read it. As the results just showed. 'Kobu vs. Alzack. Winner: Kobu.'.
Meanwhile Natsu began arguing with Gajeel. "Why can't you get out either?! Stop copying me!"
"I'm not!" Gajeel yelled.
"Now I'm hungry, you bastard!"
"I really don't know!" Both Dragon slayers were in each other's faces.
"Four?" Makarov began knowing it was Natsu, Gajeel, Aang and Zuko. "It's just the four of you left?!" He said as his whole body turned white.
"And I wasn't even counted." Happy cried.
"Hey, neither was I! What's up with that!?" Sokka yelled to the ceiling.
Makarov was now looking hopeless. "I have no more wizards left to fight. I guess that's it."
"No it's not!" Aang said. He got up and began walking to the stage. "There is something a can try I. I'm gonna try and bring Erza back." He said looking at her stone statue.
Makarov, Zuko and Natsu all had surprised looks on their faces. "SAY WHAT!?"
Sokka walked up to Aang. "Hold on buddy, you only choose NOW TO BRING HER BACK!?" Sokka yelled.
"Aw come on Aang, don't have her steal my thunder! I wanted to show her up." Natsu said.
"Wait, Aang what are you planning?" Zuko asked.
Aang nervously scratched the back of his head. "I uh… I'm going to use my Earthbending. You know, to break off the stone shell."
Makarov's face was now in a state of comic surprise. "WHAT!?"
Happy flew to Aang. "She is not covered in stone, she is stone, it's not gonna break off!"
Erza's stone statue was on the floor as they all got on the stage."We won't know unless we try."
"This is madness, you could accidentally crush her!" Makarov said.
"I'll be careful, I promise."
"Watch it." Natsu warned. "You hurt Erza, it's not gonna end well for you."
"You better know what you are doing." Gajeel said.
Aang stands in an Earthbending stance, he out stretched his right arm slowly, but a crack forms on Erza's head.
Everyone started screaming. Aang was holding Erza by her shoulders. "THIS ISN'T WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!"
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Natsu screamed.
Aang quickly began to panic. "I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK HER! QUICK SOMEBODY GET ME SOME GLUE! HAPPY! SOKKA! NATSU! GLUE!"
"WILL THAT EVEN WORK!?" Sokka screamed.
"AYE SIR!" Happy yelled with endless tears coming from his eyes as he tried to find some glue
"THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK, IDIOT!" Gajeel exclaimed in a panic as well. He arm was now an iron pillar. "WE GOTTA USE YOUR FIRE AND MY IRON TO WELD HER BACK TOGETHER!"
Soon a second crack forms. 
"ERZA NO!" Zuko and Makarov cried.
"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" Aang constantly apologized soon the cracks spread and they all looked to see Erza lying on the floor back to normal.
Everyone looked at her with surprise. "Pressure… Why do I feel this… pressure?" Erza gave a violent death glare to Aang. "It was you, wasn't it?" She growled. "WE'RE YOU TRYING TO CRUSH ME!?" she punched Aang clear across the room.
"Erza's back." Happy elatedly said.
"Thank goodness, but how?" Makarov said.
"You don't suppose Aang really did bend the stone shell off her?" Sokka said.
"She was stone, you idiot!" Gajeel said.
"I don't know." Erza said. "Perhaps it was because of my right eye."
Makarov quickly knew what happened. "I see, her artificial eye must have lessened the effect of the magic."
Happy flew to Erza. "Erza, do you know what's going on?"
"Yes, even though I was turned to stone. I could hear you."
Makarov clenched his fist. "GO! It's time for a counter attack!"
Everyone looked to the runes and the number of combatants remaining changed. "Five remaining." Happy read.
"With me restored, the number remaining changed appropriately. How elaborate." Erza said
"Okay and the five right now are Natsu, Aang, Gajeel, Zuko and Erza, right?" Sokka asked.
"Don't forget there are those three outsiders we have to deal with." Zuko reminded.
Soon the number changed from 5 to 7. "Huh? Seven remaining?" Aang questioned, they all looked back to see the girls still turned to stone.
"But all of the girls are still stone statues." Sokka said
Erza smirked. "There are two individuals you haven't accounted for."
"Wait you don't mean them." Natsu said.
"No way!" Happy cried.
"Really, does this mean they're back?" Makarov asked.
"Looks like the real war is about to begin. This is getting interesting." Erza continued, retaining her smirk.
"Enough with the pronoun game! Can someone tell me who they are?" Sokka asked.
"Two members of the guild that can rival Laxus, Mystogan and the Thunder God Thor."
Mystogan and Thor were walking through the streets of Magnolia as a bolt of lightning came from the sky. 
Zuko put a pair of Dao blades into its sheath. 
"Erza, let's go. The others can guard the girls, let's find Laxus and end this." Erza nodded and they both ran out of the guild to engage Laxus in combat.
…
Meanwhile inside the Kardia Cathedral. Laxus was looking at runes in front of him. 
"Erza's restored and Mystogan and Thor join the fray…" He said to himself. "Including me, that's the top four in Fairy Tail. Can't be a festival without the best, right?" Laxus said to himself while smirking.
…
Erza and Zuko were running down one of Magnolia's streets. Two men saw them. 
"What's up with that outfit, Erza?" He asked.
"Anyway a bunch of folks from your place have been fighting around the city, causing trouble." The other man said.
"I apologize. It is part of the preparations for the grand parade." Erza said.
"It is!?" Zuko exclaimed before quickly correcting himself. "I mean it is, nothing to worry." He said giving a very faint smile.
"That's some strange preparations all right."
"You should look forward to it." Erza said.
"Try not to fight so much though, 'kay?" The other man said with the one beside him gave Erza a thumbs up.
They were both running through a street. Erza sensed something. 
"Zuko!" She warned.
"I sense it too!" He unsheathed his blades and began to block some of the orange needle energy projectiles heading their way while Erza back flipped from them. They both saw Evergreen on the roof of a building.
"How did you return from a statue to being back to normal?" She asked. "Well, fine by me. It just means I get to have fun tormenting you more!"
"Evergreen!" Erza growled.
"You make me really angry. Why are you the Fairy Queen, Titania? I am the number one Fairy!"
"Enough!" Zuko yelled. "The time for talking ends now!"
"Oho, you also came. I'm glad you did. I like a man with scars." Erza and Zuko both glared at Evergreen. Zuko jumped to the roof of the building she was standing on. She smirked while Zuko put his swords back into his sheath.
"Are you really going to fight me? Don't you find me, desirable…?" She flirtatiously asked.
"Yes and no." Zuko replied answering both questions. "You seem like the frivolous jealous type."
"Very well, I'll make you mine soon enough." She put her fan in front of the bottom half of her face. "But until… then…Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!" Zuko was surrounded by dust particles which quickly exploded around him.
"ZUKO!" Erza worriedly yelled while Evergreen laughed.
"How pathetic, he may be cute, but you extremely weak." However there was a flaming vortex around Zuko. When he dispersed the flames he looked unharmed.
"My turn." He front flipped and as he was in the air he made flames generate from his hands, when he landed his hands touched the roof turning the flames into a raging fire blade that sped to Evergreen. She quickly flew up to avoid it. She also avoided a ball of fire which hit an empty silo with a ladder attached to it. "Erza!"
"Right!" Erza quickly jumped up to Evergreen while summoning two swords. She slashed Evergreen twice, but missed and instead sliced the silo causing it to fall apart in three pieces.
Erza and Evergreen landed on two different buildings. 
"You are good, Erza." Evergreen complimented.
"I never thought you would challenge me… but Zuko and I will beat you and return everyone to normal!" Erza charged to Evergreen.
Evergreen lifted her glasses. "I wonder if you can?" She was about to use her Stone Eyes but she was distracted by Zuko wall jumping between the buildings. He was high above her and threw three missiles of fire to Evergreen, she back flipped away from the attack but was shocked to find the flames following her. In a split second after landing on her feet she jumped as Zuko's flames followed her. Evergreen waved her arms and formed bright energy beams that destroyed Zuko flames. She landed on her feet but saw Erza speeding to her. She lowered her glasses again to try and turn Erza to stone.
"That won't work on me!" Erza attempted to slice her with her left eye closed. Evergreen back flipped away from her slash.
Evergreen finally figured it out. "I see… I didn't know you had an artificial eye. In that case! Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!"
Both Zuko and Erza were dodging the attacks. Zuko quickly unsheathed his swords, he set the blades a blaze and was swiftly dodging Evergreen's attack. Erza was blocking with her swords and performed a cross slash but missed, as soon as Evergreen was in the air. Zuko was sending missiles of flames towards her as he swung his blades. A total of six fire missiles sped to Evergreen. "Your Fire is useless on me!" she yelled and fired her magic needles from her left hands which destroyed the six flame missiles before they could reach Evergreen.
Evergreen began to fly away as she was covered in a bright yellow aura. "Wait!" Erza gave chase.
"So she chooses to run!" Zuko followed and held both his swords in his left hand.
Evergreen flew up and over a building while Zuko and Erza jumped onto its roof. Evergreen kept firing needles from her body, Zuko and Erza were doing a good job of blocking them with their blades.
"So the both of you can actually defend against this many needles? Impressive."
"Thanks for the compliment, I'm tickled with joy!" Zuko sarcastically said.
"But I wonder how you'll handle twice as many!" She shot her needles at twice the speed and at twice the amount. Zuko ignited his swords blades to try and block them but it was proving difficult as the needles were tearing through their clothes. "From today henceforth, I will be known as Titania! For I am the true Fairy Queen!"
"Erza! Get behind me!" Zuko yelled. She moved behind the Firebender. Zuko dropped his swords and quickly erected a fire wall in front of him that was blocking most of the needles from hitting him and Erza.
Erza quickly formed an idea and requiped into her Flame Empress Armor. "I have an idea!"
Evergreen was still blasting her needles at both of them. 
"You can't hide behind that firewall forever!" She yelled but the wall of fire quickly turned to a huge stream of fire that was speeding to Evergreen, but she was surprised to see Erza within the flames, she had her red blades in her hands and was slashing Evergreen's attacks while Zuko's fire was protecting her from them. "You must be joking!" Erza cross slashed through Evergreen while she was consumed by Zuko's flames but not long enough for her to get burned by them, she fell to a roof, landing on her feet. Erza lands several yards from her and Zuko is standing next to her. She throws both her swords to Evergreen; which impale the shoulder parts of her dress and send her flying to a thick chimney where their blades kept her in place.
Evergreen was now slightly covered in soot thanks to Zuko's flames as she now had nowhere to go. "Even someone like you is still a fellow Fairy Tail wizard. If you want to call yourself Titania, feel free. I do not know who gave me that nickname in the first place anyway." Evergreen glared at Erza. "If you cease this foolishness and return everyone to normal, I will not harm you."
Evergreen forms a confident smile. "Aren't you being a bit naïve here? My Stone Eyes have another power…" a brief silence happens before Evergreen continues. "Remote control. Now both of you bow down before me! If you do not, I can turn those stone women into piles of rubble from here!" Both Erza and Zuko were very shocked at her revealation, the latter clenched his fists that held his swords and slowly walked up to Evergreen.
"Zuko! What are-" Zuko sprints to Evergreen and elbows her in the stomach while he had one of his blades to the right of her neck.
"You idiot what do you think you are-" She stops talking when she sees the seriousness of his eyes.
"You sure you want to do that?" the Firebender asked in a low voice. "I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but one of those statues happens to be my girlfriend." He moves the blade in his left hand closer. "And if I find so much as a crack on her, you will regret it." He crossed his two blades in an x-formation around her neck. "If you shatter those statues, there will be nothing to stop me from cutting your head off right here, and right now!" Evergreen had a surprised expression where her eyes were nothing more than little dots, she began sweating profusely and when she looked into Zuko's eyes she could swear she saw flames burning within them. Evergreen then screams in terror as she feared Zuko would kill her. But her screams later were muffled when Zuko covered her mouth. He sighed and drives both his blades past the sides of her face through the chimney. He had a bored expression on his face. "Seriously, if you're gonna bluff, do it right."
"I…give…" she said still recovering from her shock
Erza looked at Zuko who turned to her with a confident smile. "And they say I'm scary…" Erza thought.
----At the same time in the guild all of the girls were now broken free from their stone statues.
"What the?" Lucy said after she was freed.
"W-what happened to Juvia?" the water wizard asked.
"Man, I think I must have hit my head too hard on that rock I smashed." Toph said.
Natsu, Aang, Sokka, Makarov and Happy quickly approached the stage.
"They're back to normal!" Natsu yelled.
"Lucy!" Happy yelled and planted his face in Lucy's chest. Momo also landed on her head.
"Erza and Zuko vs. Evergreen. Winner: Erza and Zuko." Makarov read.
"So that means that they beat Evergreen which restored them from their stone statues." Sokka said.
Makarov now looked more confident. "The hostages have been freed! Now what will you do, Laxus!"
…
Inside the Kardia Cathedral, Laxus was furious. "WORTHLESS TRASH!" he yelled and punched on of the pillars inside. "How could Eve lose to the likes of Erza? Since when did you get so weak, Eve?"
"Erza is too strong." Freed had said this as he walked into the building. "This was a job for Bickslow or myself."
Laxus didn't even turn around to look at Freed. "Why are you here Freed?"
"Because the game is over. With the hostages freed, the master will no longer budge." Laxus furiously turns around to look at Freed and a thunderbolt rages past him. "Laxus?"
"It's not over." He said now looking calm. "If you won't follow me, then get lost. You aren't needed in my Fairy Tail."
Freed has a concerned look but both of them hear the door being kicked open. Standing in the doorway was Kobu, Hen and Chun.
"It took us a while to get together and find this place." Kobu said ."..but all it took for us was to follow your green haired partner."
"Hey… are these those Thunder God people?" Hen asked.
Kobu nodded in response and pointed to Laxus. "That blonde wizard leads them; he is one of Fairy Tail's strongest. According to one of the Fairy Tail wizards I fought, his name is Laxus."
Hen punched his fists together in anticipation and excitement. 
"So you're the big cheese of this operation huh!?" He said with a smirk.
"Wait, Hen. We don't want to cause any trouble." Chun said. "We're only after the green haired guy remember?"
"Too late. I'm trouble personified!"
Laxus doesn't look back at them. "You got a bone to pick with me, huh you little punk?" Laxus angrily asked.
"Yeah! Though I gotta pick which one I wanna break first!" Hen got into a fighting stance. "I think I'll start with your face! Your friend here made us a part of this Battle of Fairy Tail and I am to return the favor…" he lifted his foot. "By smashing your head in!" he forced an earth wave to Laxus but he quickly jumped out of the way before he was hit. His headphones sparked and a huge beam of lightning rained down on Hen, instantly knocking him out, he comically fell to the ground, his entire body covered in soot.
Kobu clenched his fists. "You damn idiot! It was an obvious trap, but you charged in any way! I know I have to get stronger, so I can kill the Avatar with my own hands… That's why! I will defeat you!" Kobu charged to Laxus as he was avoiding the lightning bolts that were trying to strike him down. He gathered all his water in his right arm and formed an ice blade, but he slash missed because Laxus avoided it in his Lightning Form.
"Just who do you think you are dealing with you twerp?" Laxus calmly said from behind. He grabbed Kobu's shirt and threw him to the wall by the entrance of the Cathedral causing a dent in the wall. Kobu weakly got up and shot a glare at Laxus but he was shot with a beam of lightning to his gut. He crashed into the wall and lied on the ground, motionless with yellow electric sparks around him.
Chun looked terrified as Laxus' gaze turned to her. "It didn't kill them… but his lightning…" she had a vision of Azula smirking at her. "It reminds me too much of…" Laxus' headphones were sparking as he glared at Chun. "WAIT! WAIT!" Chun quickly screamed. "I'm not gonna fight okay!? I give up!"
Laxus surprisingly flashed a smile that shows amusement. "Smart move kid."
Chun now knew they needed to get out of there as soon as possible. "Okay, how about this. I take my two friends and I leave town. Okay, that sound' good to you?"
Laxus looks like his is actually thinking about it. He then gives his answer. "Fine, go." Chun gives a huge sigh of relief. She goes over to the knocked out bodies of Kobu and Hen and she puts her arms over their shoulders while she did the same with theirs. "But…" Chun looked to Laxus as she carried her allies. "…Let me give you a warning. If I ever see your face ever again, there won't even be ASHES LEFT OF YOU! AM I CLEAR."
Chun was sweating profusely and looked terrified. 
"YES SIR!" She screamed. "CRYSTAL CLEAR!"
"Get out of my sight." Laxus said in a calm tone once again.
Chun runs out of the Cathedral while holding Hen and Kobu. She was running as fast as her legs would take her. Tears are now falling from her eyes. "No! First Jellal! Now this guy! Is this world full of scary people!?"
Meanwhile back in the Cathedral Freed begins to talk to Laxus again. "Laxus, are you sure that letting them leave is a wise decision? Bickslow and I can finish them off if you want."
Laxus turned away from Freed. "Don't bother. Those flies weren't even worth squashing. Now lets get back to more important things."
…
While Chun is running down an empty street she sees a figure to her right as she stopped to take a breath. This figure was Mystogan, and he turned to look at Chun. Soon her eyes shrank, she knew she had seen those eyes before and this brought back everything from the Tower of Heaven. She looked away from him and kept running.
"Was that…? No… it couldn't be…" She turned around to see him walking through the street not looking back at her. "I'm not gonna stick around to find out!"
