FT100YQ Episode 13

Scarlet Showdown is the 13th episode of the Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest anime.
Erza and Laxus' battle still continues as they show each other their new abilities since their war against the Alvarez Empire. Meanwhile, Natsu and Happy discovers that Touka is revealed to be an Exceed before she is taken over by the White Wizard. The White Wizard attempts to Whiteout Natsu but Happy saves him by throwing Aldoron's orb at her.
==Summary==
Lucy's group thinks how they will deal with Mirajane and Elfman. Gray suggests several plans, but the others point out the issues with them. Though, believing that Mirajane can handle them. They then ponder on a plan against the White Wizard, poking fun at Lucy for Touka's crush on Natsu.
At the Back Town church, Touka apologizes for the hug and quickly realizes the misunderstanding. She spots Happy, embracing the Exceed, and calls him Natsu. The two are confused, and she explains that she was saved by him about a year ago in northern Fiore. She reminisced when she was trapped in a barrel by some bandits, when a prince came riding on a fire Dragon and beat up all the bandits and heard that his name was "Natsu", completely misunderstanding what had happened. She realizes her mistake and apologizes once more, calling it her second biggest mistake, the first was letting the White Wizard control her body. At that moment she transforms back into her true form, an Exceed, shocking the duo. Happy becomes infatuated with her, while Natsu asks what happened to the White Wizard. This reminds Touka that they need to hurry.
At the Left Hand Town church, Erza tries to strike Laxus, but he dodges and lands a punch on her, breaking her Lightning Empress Armor. She realizes that protection is useless and goes on full offense. She Enchants herself with a Dragon Slayer Seal, wielding the True Benizakura. Seeing the specialized weapon, Laxus remarks that he has a new move of his own.
Laxus enters Red Lightning Dragon Mode, informing Erza that he gained it by chance during the war with Alvarez and has finally controlled it. The two clash against one another, The Lightning Dragon having the upper hand, shocking Erza a number of times before the swordswoman manages to land a few hits herself. At one point, Laxus manages to knock Erza into the ground, creating a large crater. The swordswoman wonders how much stronger he has become. She dodges but the Lightning Dragon Slayer sends his next attack through the ground, catching her in an explosion. Despite this, she still stands.
As the battle progresses, Kiria wakes up and notices the two Mages' guildmarks. She realizes that they are from the same Guild. Erza then Requips to two swords, and her opponent and Kiria notice the Magic Power. Having learned from Wendy, she wields swords enchanted with Magic from Natsu and Gray; Fire Dragon's Flames and Ice Devil's Chill. She slashes Laxus with them, making him bleed. However, the Lightning Dragon Slayer smirks, as the red of this blood is what makes the power of the red lightning. He sends bolts raining on Erza shocking her as it was stronger than she expected. Laxus asks how long will she hold back since this is no longer a battle between friends. She agrees, saying that she was just warming up.
Kiria watches in awe as the two Fairy Tail Mages clash, throwing punches and slashing one another in quick succession. Erza dodges Laxus's Heavenward Halberd and Requips into her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Their attacks cause several explosions within the church. In the aftermath, Erza changes back to her hakama and kneels on the ground. She laughs, happy to know that Laxus is this strong, as she was worried about the Guild's defense line while she and the others were out for the 100-year quest. She can see why Natsu respects him so much. While he is under the White Wizard's control now, when this is settled there will not be any worries for the guild left. She collapses, saying that she will win next time. However, Laxus remarks that he should be saying that, as he is out of Magic Power as well and passes out. Kiria is excited about this unexpected turn of events, planning to eat the Lightning Dragon, but not before destroying the orb.
Because of this, Aldoron shakes once more, making the others realize what happened. At the Backside church, Touka notes that only two orbs remain; the one here and the one at Left Shoulder Town. She says if they are destroyed as well, then the Wood Dragon God's power will be taken. Suddenly, the White Wizard awakens, causing Touka to struggle for control. The Exceed tells Natsu and Happy to stop the White Wizard, not caring what happens to herself. Because this might be the last time, Touka expresses how happy she is to have met Happy. She transforms back into human form, where the White Wizard has taken over. She greets Natsu, telling him that it is time for him to go silent now.
The White Wizard casts Whiteout on Natsu, draining him of his Magic Power and planning to use him to destroy the orb. She answers his question that Magic is necessary and is only when it is too powerful. When Happy tries to help, she kicks him away, making Natsu ask if she is not part of Happy's race. She clarifies that she is human and is just inside Touka's body, though she does not answer why she is the Exceed's body in the first place. Happy throws the orb at the White Wizard, where crystals and branches start to sprout on her body. Now distracted, Happy takes Natsu and flies away. He informs Natsu that he remembered when Juvia was copying what the White Wizard said, making him think that she cannot touch them. Happy looks back and promises to save Touka. The White Wizard tries to get close to the orb, but more crystals start forming, now angered by Natsu's group.
