Arc 4: From This Point On!

Y/n: "..... Oh, whoops I almost forgot about this! Hehe! That would've been bad!"

Inside of the Bird Cage room, Y/n was seen happily taking back the X-Swordman Book from Eidenfal's unconscious body before he hopped out of the bird cage he was currently inside of, getting onto the top of it.

Y/n: "Yo, Natsu you finish off that Bird guy ye- Oh hey, Snowman, what're you doing here?"

Back in the tops of the Cages, Grey was seen standing with Simon and Niki, while Fukuro was unconscious and covered in ice… and Natsu was reeling from a mass of motion sickness- I skipped this fight because it's Just a Mess of Grey Flashbacks! And I'm done with them for this Arc! 

Grey: "Ah, Y/n you're-Ngh!"

Suddenly, Grey doubled over in pain, as Y/n casually walked over to his allies.

Grey: "We're running out of time… we gotta rescue Erza-"

*THUD!*

Grey said before he fell onto his face, causing Y/n to sigh as he jumped over to the top of the Cage Natsu was laying on.

Y/n: "Yeah, that's not happening with you down for the count like that Snowman."

Sick Natsu: "Why is everything spinning?"

*BLAM!*

Sick Natsu: "GAHA!"

Y/n: "Wake the hell up Dino! Don't you have a guy on the top of this tower to kick the shit out of?"

Natsu: "Oh yeah!..."

Sick Natsu: "UGH! Still wanna die!"

Y/n: "YOU USELESS DINOSAUR PIECE OF SHIT! GET UP YOU IDIOT!"

Sick Natsu: "Spinning!"

Simon stared in awe at Y/n as he continued to yell as Natsu, kicking and trying to get him to wake up.

Simon: "Amazing… that boy took down one of the Quadrinity Raven members all on his own, and while Grey Fullbuster is down for the count, he's just fine, there doesn't even seem to be a Scratch on him…"

Niki: "Yeah, he's really strong, especially when he puts on that armor…"

Simon: "Armor?"

Niki: "Yeah, he can summon armor just like Red. I guess that Huge Boom and Flash we heard earlier was him finishing that Assassin guy off."

Simon: "So I was wrong about him… He's not just a Delivery Boy with a Vast Pool of Magic… but a boy who can use that powerful magic to great lengths aswell… no wonder Jellal wanted him to become the body of Zeref..."

《Meanwhile》

Inside of the Tower's Catacomb or Sewer or whatever it's called, the Girl Squad was seen laying on the ground, Juvia was asleep, and Levy seemed to be aswell while Lucy just laid there.

Lucy thoughts: "I'm totally whipped out… I can't even move a muscle… I guess Juvia and Levy are down for the count too… We all kinda over did it against that Rocker Freak, huh?"

The girl thought to herself, when suddenly some familiar voices and footsteps were heard.

"Nya~ Some one really did a Number on this place."

"Hey, you see what I see kid."

Lucy thoughts: "I KNOW THOSE VOICES!"

Lucy acted like she was unconscious… or dead… like Juvia and Levy, as Wally and Millianna walled onto the scene.

Wally: "Good thing we found these dames."

Lucy thought: "Agh! What do I do! I don't have the strength to tell these guys we're not enemies anymore…"

"H-Hey… Blockhead, you can teleport things, right?..."

A voice shakingly said, quickly grabbing Lucy attention as she turned only to see Levy barely holding herself up as she faced Wally and Millianna, a smile on her face as she held the book she had been writing out to the two of them.

Levy: "I need you to do a tiny favor for me…"

"HOW COULD YYYOOOOUUUUU!!!"

There he is! After all this time the Whiny Bitch Obstacle of this Arc has Returned! Sho was seen running down the halls of the Tower of Heaven screaming at nobody in particular.

Sho: "You lied to me Jellal! You lied to all of us! I won't let you get away with it!"

🗡🃏"Calm down Sho!"

Sho: "HE'S GOTTA PAY FOR WHAT HE DID!"

🗡🃏"You're going to need my help to fight him! Release me from this Card at once!"

Erza yelled, revealing that she was still trapped inside of one of Sho's cards.

Sho: "I can't do that! I'm sorry but it's for your own good! You're safe in there!"

🗡🃏"Don't be stupid!"

Erza yelled as Sho ran into a room which was just a Bridge a nice little pond with Cherry Blossom Trees lining said Bridge, very Japanese styled… for slave owning Cultists and a Magic Psychopath who is definitely Siegrain's Twin brother who is Not Just Jellal in disguise being controlled by a Bitch Antagonist who to this day I still hate despite both their redemption Cliff and Arc, they've got some crazy floor design sense… not the bird cage room though, fuck that room I hate it… Anyway the Japanese Banjo, known as a Shamisen, was heard playing as the Real Annoying Female Antagonist for this Arc was revealed because there is one every single Arc, that is not a Joke!

[Ikaruga]
[Annoying Female Antagonist for this Arc because there is one every Arc, Yes I will be pointing this out]

Ikaruga: "Konichiwa. I am the one they call Ikaruga. Who might you be?"

Sho: "Get out of my way Lady! Don't make me hurt you!"

The correct response to meeting Ikaruga.

Ikaruga: "Dear me. Why must I be burdened by such a Boorish man."

Sho: "I WARNED YOU! KYAH!"

Sho yelled as he quickly launched a mass of magic cards as the Annoyance, bbbuuuttt…

*Shing!*

In a single movement, the girl swung her blade with extreme speed through the air, causing the cards to stop… as they were all split down the Middle, and I mean the Tiny Part not the flat, she disconnected the front of the cards from the back, which is cool and all but Zoro and Erza are still 10 Million times cooler and less annoying.

Sho: "How'd you do that!?"

Ikaruga: "My Katana is able to cut through anything with extreme precision."

Sho: "Well that sword of yours won't scare m-"

*CLASHING!*

Suddenly the ground under Sho was slashed in an X pattern, causing Sho to suddenly double over in pain before falling to the ground.

Sho: "I-I can't move…"

Ikaruga: "I've just severed you Nerves without cutting your clothes or flesh, don't challenge my Mugetsu Style."

Ikaruga said as the true swordswoman of this show… was still trapped in her card prison…

🗡🃏"Let me out of here!"

Sho: "I-I can't!"

Ikaruga: "Well well, what do we have here? I wondered where you were hiding Erza."

🗡🃏"You've gotta release me Sho! She's too powerful for you to take on by yourself!"

Sho: "Don't worry about me! All that matters is that you're safe, I casted a shielding spell on that card, she can harm you from the outside!"

Ikaruga: "Is that so? Let's test that theory shall we?"

🗡🃏"You're spell won't hold up against her! That's no ordinary sword she's wielding, it's magical!"

Sho: "You're safe, I Promise!"

Yeah that promise doesn't mean fuck all.

*SHING!*

Ikaruga slashed her sword, giving Magic Swordsmen a bad name as it fell to the ground, causing Sho's eyes to widen as he saw Erza forced to block the slash from inside of the card.

Sho: "Wha!? She can cut across the Dimensional Rift!?"

Suddenly, Ikaruga let out a barrage of slashes, forcing Erza to block over and over as Sho was sent flying into a Statue. Then, Erza slashed with her own sword, quickly freeing herself from her Card Prison.

Erza: "I suspected your attacks would weaken Sho's Sealing spell, allowing me to cut right through it to freedom."

Sho: "A Sword that can cut through dimensions is amazing enough, but her ability to use that power to her advantage is what makes her even more amazing."

Erza: "You said your name was Ikaruga? Well I didn't come all this way for you. Be gone."

The correct response when meeting Ikaruga.

Ikaruga: "My apologies, but I think I'll stay."

*Craching-CCCRRRAAASSSHHH!!!*

Suddenly, Erza's armor shattered away, leaving her in her normal clothing in a sudden matter of second as Ikaruga glared and quickly became even more annoying.

Ikaruga: "You seem surprised. A skill warrior like you should have seen that coming. Your single minded focus on Jellal has rendered you a fledgling Novice, completely unaware of my Katana flashing about you."

This caused the sane reaction of anyone insulted by Ikaruga of all characters, quickly pissing Erza off as she sent an intense glare at the annoying 2-Off Antagonist because for some reason she comes back later!

Ikaruga: "You may be skilled, but you don't stand a chance against me."

Erza: "You're my enemy and I will defeat you! I always do."

Erza said, quickly Requipping into her Heaven's Wheel Armor as she charged at the Annoyance Katana Wielder.

*CLASHING!*

Erza slashed at Ikaruga, causing the Annoyance to quickly deflect the Scarlet Knight into the air. Erza then summoned a mass of swords around herself, spinning them rapidly.

🗡HEAVEN'S WHEEL!🗡
🗡CIRCLE SWORD!🗡

*FWOOO-*

"Mugetsu Style:"

*CRA-CRA-CRA-CRASHING!*

"Yasha Senkū."

Erza launched the blades at Ikaruga, but the Assassin was easily able to shatter each and every blade with a single unseen slash. Sho stated the obvious as Erza landed back down… but…

*Shing!*

*CRASHING!*

Erza: "AAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Erza's Heaven's Wheel armor was quickly and suddenly shattered, leaving her defenseless once again.

"Mugetsu Style:"

Ikaruga prepared her attack, causing a mass of golden Magic Power to radiate off of herself as she reeled her blade and sheath back, ready to slash, until she suddenly slashed the ground around herself, causing Sparks and a Mass of Flames.

"Karura-en!"

*BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!*

A mass of spiraling Flames quickly slammed into Erza, forcing her to swap to her Flame Empress Armor, to tank the blow.

Ikaruga: "Ah~! The Flames Empress Armor, it's highly resistant to Flame Attacks is it not? I'm impressed that you were able to requip so quickly.

*CRASH!*

Erza's armor then shattered once again, rendering her defenseless once again. You can see the pattern of this fight.

Ikaruga: "How embarrassing to be so inappropriately dressed in that Young Man's Presence. I suggest you adorn yourself with the most powerful armor you possess."

Erza growled a bit as a Scarlet Magic circle appeared under her, before she suddenly requipped into a brand new armor.

[Purgatory Armor]

Erza: "Purgatory Armor! You'll regret your Arrogance! When I'm through with you!"

Ikaruga simply chuckled as Erza summoned a large club-like sword into her hand, her glare still as deadly as ever.

Erza: "No one who's seen this armor has lived to talk about it!"

Ikaruga: "This is the most powerful armor in your collection? Let's test it's limits."

Ikaruga taunted as Erza jumped up, roaring as she lifted up her blade and quickly slammed it down ontop of Ikaruga, but the ASSassin was easily able to deflect the power of the attack away from herself and into a wall while also sending Erza back.

Erza: "GGGRRRRAAAHHH!!!"

*BBB-FWOWOWOWOW-*

*SHI-SHING!*

*BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!*

Erza swung with all her might, sending a devastating wave of wind at Ikaruga, but the girl easily sliced through it, destroying everything around her but keeping herself as safe as ever. Erza roared as she jumped at the Assassin once again, slamming her weapon down into her and destroying even more of the bridge, but Ikaruga was easily able to dodge the attack as she jumped up, using the tip of her sheathed sword to glide along the top of her Club getting closer and closer to the Scarlet Knight before she attacked, jumping up and flipping around as she slashed, landing behind Erza in a mass of unearned grace.

….

*CCCRRRAAASSSHHH!*

Erza: "AAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Erza yelled as her strongest armor was shattered just like the others while Ikaruga looked back at her with a smile.

Ikaruga: "I'm sorry, but you can't say I didn't warn you. You made a valiant effort but there's no armor in existence my Katana cannot cut through. Admit your defeat."

Ikaruga taunted once again, as Erza rose to her feet again and Faced the assassin, transforming into another brand new and odd form.

[Clear Heart Armor]

Oh, boy. Get ready for the Character Development Train to hit 180 Words per Emotional and Physical Growth.

Erza: "......"

Ikaruga: "Is this some kind of Joke? Why would you trade out your armor for an outfit made of regular cloth? Is this peculiar choice of dress supposed to mock me?"

Sho: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? You don't stand a chance against her like that! I'm sure you have all kinds of heavy duty armor, right? YOU'VE GOTTA STAY STRONG!"

Erza: "I can't do that… because I've never been strong… It's all a lie… as a child I watched as those close to me suffered… I lost loved ones because I didn't have the strength to protect them… I tried to be strong… but when I was alone I couldn't hide my emotions… I decided that in order to convince everyone that I was strong, I'd hide my heart away inside a suit of armor… there no one could see that it was broken… I wear armor to conceal my weakness from the rest of the world, without it, I've been too afraid to fight. I thought my armor protected me, but in the end it did more harm than good, it shielded me from pain but it kept me distanced from others, my heart was too guarded to connect with anyone… that is, until I joined Fairy Tail. Everyone was so warm and caring that my cold shell began to crack and I began to feel emotions again.  I can't rely on my armor anymore! I'm strong enough to defeat you without it!"

Now it's time for the Most Anti-Climatic Ending to this fight possible!

Erza glared at Ikaruga as she gripped her swords, the two of them ready to attack as they charged at eachother with a sudden mass of speed.

*GLASHING!*

The two of them dashed past eachother with a slash, and in true cliche style, stood there for a moment as one of Erza Swords suddenly shattered. Ikaruga then chuckled a bit, making you think that she had won but this wasn't the case at all, because fuck you, as her own sword cracked and blood began seeping from her stomach, staining the whiteness of her clothing.

*THUD!*

Ikaruga then fell to the ground as Erza lowered her stance… I don't like Ikaruga or this fight at all… Anyway! My opinions aside!

Erza faced Sho once again.

Sho: "Sister, that was amazing what you just did!"

Erza: "All you alright?"

Sho: "Yeah I think so…"

Erza smiled, when suddenly she perked up as she felt a sudden mass of magic charging nearby.

Erza: "That magic, The Etherion Blast! Sho, go find Simon, the others, my Fairy Tail friends, Y/n and his Delivery friend and get them as far away from the tower as possible!"

Sho: "What? Sister…"

Erza: "I know it's hard, but will you do this for me? Please…"

Sho: "... Yeah… but what about you?"

Erza: "I'm going to settle things, once and for all."

《Meanwhile》

Going away from that Shit Show of a Fight, The sun was seen setting on the horizon as some familiar voices were heard.

Natsu: "Huh-Agh! What the?"

Simon: "I was wondering when you were gonna wake up."

Simon was seen carrying Natsu on his back, slowly going up the stairs towards the top of the tower.

Natsu: "Last thing I remember was flying around in circles."

Sick Natsu: "UUGGHH!"

Simon: "Seriously!? Just the memory makes you sick!? Well after that you were eaten by the Owl, lucky Grey saved you."

Natsu: "Agh, Grey…"

Simon: "He defeated the owl but he was badly wounded during the fight. Your friend, Niki and her pet are taking him to a safer place."

Natsu: "NO WAY YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! I LOST TO THAT BIRD CREEP BUT GREY WAS ABLE TO BEAT HIM!?"

Simon: "I wouldn't say that you lost, more that you were Swallowed."

Natsu: "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENED HE'S STILL GONNA HOLD THIS OVER MY HEAD FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT MONTH! MAN THIS SUCKS! I WON'T STAND FOR THIS, I DEMAND A REMATCH! BRING THAT BIRD BRAIN BACK AND LET ME SHOW HIM WHAT I'VE GOT!"

Simon: "We don't have time for that kind of nonsense right now."

Simon said as he dragged Natsu up some more steps by his scarf, until.

Natsu: "Don't wanna be rude, but do I know you?"

Simon: "I'm Simon, I was friends with Erza when we were kids."

Natsu: "Oh, in that case it's nice to meet you!"

Simon then held his side as he doubled over in pain, quickly grabbing the Salmon's Attention.

Simon: "Don't worry I'm fine, I got word from Wally a while back. He and Millianna found Lucy, Levy and Juvia but they're in bad shape. He said it looked like they took down one of the Quadrinity Raven all by themselves."

Natsu: "The 3 of them?"

Simon: "They hadn't heard that we weren't enemies anymore so they were confused when I asked them to take the girls to safety… Oh, and Wally transported this over to me."

Simon said as he pulled out a small notebook that looked like it had a mass of writing inside.

Simon: "Any idea what it is?"

Natsu: "Yeah, that's Levy's notebook. She's been writing a Story in that for like the past couple years, ever since she got Saved by Y/n a while back… Hey wait, where the heck is Y/n anyway! Don't tell me he got beat too!"

Simon: "No, nothing like that. He defeated the Table man with ease, unlike everyone else he came out of his fight without a Scratch. I tried to stop him, but now he's on his way towards the top of the tower, he already ran ahead of us a while back."

Natsu: "That sounds like him. Man's crazy when it comes to his job."

Simon: "Anyway, Levy told Wally that I need to get this book to Y/n, but since he's already gone up ahead I thought that you should be the one to hand it off to him. He gets his power from Books, right? Maybe this will help him?"

Natsu: "Kinda. He uses these weird tiny books called Wonder-Whatevers to summon cool armors like Erza and spirit things like Lucy. But now that you mention it, before we got separated Y/n did pull out one of those Wonder Books that looked bigger than normal… Maybe he can use this one too."

Natsu said as he happily grabbed the book and stuffed it into one of his pockets.

Simon: "... Sho's also informed me that the last member of Quadrinity Raven's been defeated."

Natsu: "I DIDN'T GET TO DO ANYTHING!"

Simon: "Now that they're out of the Picture that just leaves Jellal, Erza's gone ahead to confront him."

Natsu: "By herself?"

Simon: "She's got a score to settle, and whether we like it or not she wants to do it on her own. I'm sure you're aware that her and Jellal have a lot of history. It's like they're destined to fight eachother. I'm worried about her because Jellal's stronger than she knows… I beg you, you have to help her fight him."

Natsu: "Not gonna happen."

Simon: "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"

…. Simon's dub voice seems familiar… hold on a second here…

J Michael Tatum…. HOLY SHIT HE VOICES IIDA! And Enel!? Giriko too… and Acnologi- WHAT THE FUCK!?

《Meanwhile》

Walking into the all too familiar punishment from the Ravioli-System's Past, Erza came face to face with Jellal as he placed the Knight Piece infront of the King Piece, before rising from his tiny throne.

Jellal: "Don't tell me the Game's Over already."

Erza: "You find that much pleasure in toying with the lives of others?"

Jellal: "Between the moment of our birth and the time of our death there is only that game of emotions we call life. What could be more dreary than just existing day after day."

How edgy of you, Worst Antagonist.

Jellal: "It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

The man said, facing Erza with a smile, only returned that smile with a serious expression of her own.

Erza: "It certainly has… Sho and the others are no longer under your influence."

Jellal: "That's fine with me. Now that the tower of Heaven has been completed, I have no need for them."

Jellal said as Erza pointed her sword at him.

Erza: "You don't seem too concerned that it will soon be destroyed."

Jellal: "You mean by the Etherion? Hehehehehe!"

Erza: "You're so carefree I can only assume that you're bluffing."

Jellal: "Not so! The Etherion will rain down upon us! Hehaha!"

Erza: "I'm glad to hear it. That just means I need to keep you occupied for the next 10 Minutes, and this nightmare will be over at last!"

Jellal: "No! When the beam strikes your life will be Sacrificed to Zeref! This has always been certain. You cannot avoid Fate Erza. 
This is your Destiny!"

《Meanwhile》

*BLAM!*

Simon: "What's wrong with you!? You claim to be Erza's friend yet you refuse to help her!"

Simon had slammed Natsu into a wall, indenting it with his anger… and the Salmon's skull.

Natsu: "This is her fight, she wants to handle it on her own, she'd never forgive me if I butted in on the action like that!"

Simon then let go of Natsu as he turned away from the Salmon.

Simon: "... There's no way that she could ever win against Jellal…"

Natsu: "What!? She's stronger than you give her credit for! So watch your mouth!"

Simon: "You've got it wrong! I'm not saying I doubt the power of her magic!... Despite  everything that's happened I know Erza still wants to try and save Jellal, I have no doubt in my mind, deep down in her heart, she could never truly hate the boy she's known since childhood… Jellal is viciously cunning, he knows exactly how to manipulate her feelings to his advantage, and that's not the only thing working against her, as you know the magic council's preparing to fire an Etherion blast, when that happens the tower and everyone inside it will be whipped out. If what Sho told me is correct, we only have 10 Minutes."

Natsu: "WHAT!?"

Simon: "She told Simon to grab everyone and get out of here… And that's Exactly why Y/n ran ahead of us. He's a warrior all the same as you and her and understands the sentiment of this battle… but he understands the same as all of us just exactly what she plans to do… She's giving up her life, planning to die along with Jellal to stop this madness."

《Meanwhile》

Jellal: "There are only 7 Minutes Left. When the Etherion strikes the tower we'll take out Final Breaths, why don't we simply enjoy these final moments together."

Erza: "You should know I've cast off all my fears. Even of my own Death, I'll relish in it because I'll be taking you down with me!"

Jellal: "Oh really? Is that what you think? WELL WE'LL JUST SEE ABOUT THAT!"

Jellal roared as he launched a blast of Dark Magic at Erza, causing the girl to quickly slash the Dark Magic away, destroying the spell as it slammed into the walls and floor around her. She then jumped at Jellal ready to strike, only for the man to quickly catch her hand before she could, before blasting her with a Dark Impact, quickly sending her flying, outside of the tower. Erza quickly landed on a mass of Debris before jumping back inside the peak of the Romano-System getting ready to attack Jellal once again.

Erza: "If you destroy the very thing you worked so hard to complete then what's the point!?"

Erza said as she jumped at Jellal and slashed again, only to quickly jump away as the Blue Haired Man unleashed a Blast of Dark Power. Landing on the crystal in the center of the room, Erza then launched at Jellal again, unleashing a powerful slash down at him, dicing his stupid chess board in half as the worst antagonist dodged away.

Jellal: "Heh! Why should I care about a Pillar or two? After all, they're only decorations."

Erza: "That may be so, but the reason they're here is because the others spent all those Years Building them for you!"

Jellal: "How is it you manage to find fault in everything I say? I never forced them to work they chose to, simply because they knew how important the Tower was to me. And now at long last, it's been completed!"

*SSSHHHIIINNNGGG!*
*SQUABLBLBLBL!*

Suddenly a mass of darkness exploded from below Erza, trapping her in a ball of Dark Magic as Jellal continued to Monolog.

Jellal: "While it's evident that you've honed your skills over the years, you're no match for me."

*GLASHING!*

While trapped inside the bubble, Erza quickly used her Anime Flashback Powerup Juice, allowing her to easily slash through the bubble trapping her, surprising Jellal a bit.

Erza: "I told you, I cast off all my fears, including you. HHHRRRAAAHHH!!!"

*CLASHING!*

Jellal: "GGGAAAHHH!"

Erza roared as she rushed at Jellal and slashed him across the chest, sending the man flying back in a mass of shock.

Jellal thoughts: "This isn't the Weak Girl I remember!"

Jellal thought to himself in shock as he was forced onto his back, when suddenly Erza straddled him, no I will not rephrase that, as she pointed her sword at his neck. The Sun outside had disappeared from the sky as dark storm clouds covered the stars and moon.

Erza: "Why don't you tell me what your real goal is Jellal? You and I both know that the R-System hasn't been completed. Do you know what I've been doing, since I left this place years ago? Researching it relentlessly. And I know that even though the tower itself has been constructed exactly like the blueprints, there's still one thing you don't have, a fatal part for its completion."

Jellal: "That's not true, because your sacrifice will complete it."

Erza: "No, something even more basic than that! Magic Energy. I don't think you realize how much magic energy you'd need to accumulate just to activate the R-System. You could gather every wizard in the continent and still not have enough power to pull it off! This tower doesn't have the capacity to store all that magic energy within its walls and you certainly can't pull it off on your own. I find it highly suspicious that you haven't even tried to escape despite knowing about the Council's Attack. What're you up to?"

Erza said, ranting about the RomanNumeral-System, while Jellal just laid there with a smile.

Jellal: "3 More minutes until the Etherion Fires."

Erza: "Answer me! You know your dream will never come true so why are you willing to risk your life? Do you want to die!?"

Erza asked as she clenched Jellal's arm tightly, not putting 2 and 2 together yet, as she glared bloody daggers as the Worst Antagonist.

Erza: "If that's the case then we'll go together! I'll stay here to hold you down and I won't let go till the bitter end."

Jellal: "To be honest, that doesn't sound so bad…"

The boy said, shocking Erza a bit.

Jellal: "I no longer have control over my own body and soul, because I've been possessed by Zeref. I'm merely a puppet he's manipulating in order to become flesh again."

…. I mean he's not lying…

Erza: "You've been possessed by him?"

Jellal: "I couldn't save myself, and not even my closest friends were able to come to my rescue… that's when I realized, there is no heaven nor does true freedom really exist… all of creation was finished before this world even began…"

Suddenly, A brilliant light appeared above the tower of Heaven, as if the Gates of Heaven had appeared right over the Restaurant-System, causing the entire tower to shake under its power.

Jellal: "Deep down I knew the R-System couldn't be completed but Zeref kept pushing me, he forced me to continue the tower's construction. I wanted to stop but I couldn't. It's like I was a frate train with no breaks."

Again, not entirely lying.

Jellal: "I surrender… go ahead and finish me… isn't that why you came looking for me?"

And with that, Erza played directly into the man's hands as he Fully Lied. The shaking stopped and the Magic Circles needed for the Etherion Blast had finally finished their formation. As this happened, Erza pulled her sword away from her old friend's throat.

Erza: "There's no need to spill your blood with my own hands. The Satellite Square is focused and the Etherion will fire any minute. That means this is the end… for both you… and me..."

Erza continued as she laid her sword down and let go of Jellal's arm, raising back to her feet and allowing Jellal to stand aswell.

Jellal: "It is a grim fate that we share…"

Erza: "So all this time you were just one of Zeref's Victims…"

Jellal: "It's my own fault I let my weakness get the best of me… the Rift between my dream of freedom and reality was too deep for my mind to comprehend…"

Erza: "The only people capable of saving you from your flaws and your inner weakness… are your friends."

Jellal: "... That's true…"

Erza: "I apologize for not being able to save you back then, can you forgive me?"

Jellal: "Erza… you have saved me…"

The RedCabbage-System continued to crumble more and more and Jellal and Erza hugged, a blinding light shining down from above, shaking the very earth itself as the almighty mass of power rained down from above.

Happy, Juvia, Levy, Lucy, Grey, Niki, Wally and Millianna were seen in a small boat headed away from the tower as they stared at the incoming light with a mass of horror. Simon was seen sitting next to a window, injured and out of breath as he watched the light come down from outside. Natsu ran up a mass of stairs in a mass of desperation calling out for Erza. Y/n was seen running up the stairs of the tower on his own an odd magic crystal in hand and a giant hole in the wall nearby, a serious expression on his face as the cuff on his left hand seemed to shine with a mass of Ancient Magic Runes and Markings, malfunctioning in the face of Etherion's Power as Y/n's form oddly changed, only to be hidden by the intensely powerful and beyond blinding light. And finally, Jellal was seen hugging Erza once again… only to see the beyond sinister look of pure evil on his face hidden behind Erza's back.

The Ever destroying power of Etherion rained down, slamming into the tower of Heaven and rendering it to nothing… causing a title wave of water as the Almighty Power Slammed down and destroyed all, leaving only a massive mushroom cloud of smoke… Our Heroes were seen protected by a Large Bubble made by Juvia as the smoke slowly cleared… only to reveal truly shocking…

[The R-System]
[The R Stands for Every Single R Word.]

Erza: "W-We're… We're still alive?"

Erza said in a mass of shock, the roof of the tower blown away to reveal the open sky as Jellal simply rose to his feet, as not only the true form of the tower, but his true intentions were revealed...

Jellal: 
"HAHAHAAHAHHAHAAAAAA! HAHAHAHAAA! HAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! IT'S HERE AT LONG LAST MY HOUR OF GLORY HAS ARRIVED! This is the true form of the Tower of Heaven! A giant Magical Lacryma Crystal! Thanks to the Council it's ready to Activate! The Etherion's magic energy provided the missing piece of the Puzzle! 
THE R-SYSTEM IS NOW COMPLETE!"

Erza: "So… I was your pawn…"

"Correction Erza. Everyone is Our Pawn."

Jellal's voice said, only Jellal didn't speak, causing Erza to turn around, only to see a Man with a Dollar Store Mustache, Jellal's Twin Brother, Siegrain, standing there. See, there in the same place, they can't be the same person.

Erza: "Siegrain?"

Siegrain: "He is incapable of using his full power right now, so he had to pull a stunt like this."

Erza: "I don't understand what are you doing here?"

Siegrain: "This reminds me of when we first met all those years ago."

Siegrain began to walk towards Jellal's side, while Jellal continued the story.

Jellal: "You accompanied Makarov to the magic council to submit a written apology for destruction of property."

Siegrain: "She attacked me out of nowhere, she must have mistaken me for you."

Jellal: "I can't say I blame her, after all we do look alike."

Jellal said, referring to his brothers oddly suspicious but all natural Mustache.

Siegrain: "You refused to let up until I confessed to you that I was his twin, but still you were hostile towards me from that day forward."

Erza: "What did you Expect!? If you truly cared about your brother you would have stopped him instead of trying to help him cover his tracks! And I know you've been spying on me and reporting back to him!"

Jellal: "Is that so?"

Siegrain: "A mistake on my part, in retrospect I should have said something that convinced you that I was going to find Jellal and kill him. But my biggest mistake was running into you in the first place, considering all the trouble I went through to become a Council Member in the first place."

Jellal: "There's nothing worse than having to come up with excuses on the spot."

Erza: "I get it… So the two of you have been conspiring the whole time."

Jellal: "Conspiring?"

Siegrain: "Not exactly…"

Jellal: "I'm afraid it's a lot less complicated than that."

Suddenly, the humm of Magical Electricity was heard, when suddenly, Siegrain's oddly suspicious yet all natural Dollar Store Mustache fell off of his face and onto the ground, before his entire body began to glitch and become see through… as though he was simply a projection…

Jellal 1 & 2: "We're not twins but two faces of one person, and we have been from the start."

Jellal said as he and Siegrain then became one, fully restoring Jellal's magic power.

…… *Inhale!* 

WHAT!? SIEGRAIN WASN'T ACTUALLY JELLAL'S TWIN BROTHER WHO LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME DOWN TO THE FUCKING MARKING AROUND HIS GODDAMNED EYE, BUT ACTUALLY JUST JELLAL IS A STUPID AS FUCK DISGUISE WITH A DUMB ASS EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS DOLLAR STORE STICKY MUSTACHE ON HIS UPPER LIP! I NEVER WOULD HAVE GODDAMN MO'FUCKIN GUESSED!

This joke had been building up for 3 Arcs we're moving the fuck on.

Erza: "But how is that possible? Was he just a projection?"

Jellal: "No one ever suspected for a moment that we were one in the same."

…. You Mother Fucker…

Erza: "Then you're the one responsible for firing the Etherion! You worked your way onto the council all for that!?"

Jellal: "I hope you enjoyed the freedom I granted you all those years ago. Your release and everything after was all a part of my plan to resurrect Zeref! Although, I must say I originally planned to have Zeref's Soul become the host of my own body, but that's to Mistress Fortune you met and befriended Y/n! A man with a seemingly unlimited pool of magic power, The beyond perfect vessel for Zeref's Soul and my only change of plan."

Erza: "How can you live with yourself knowing your entire life has been one big Lie!?"

Jellal: "Magic Energy… I can feel it surging through my body! Would you like to have a taste of it?"

Erza: "ANSWER MY QUESTI-"

Jellal: "I'll take that as a Yes!"

*SHIII-*
☄BBBOOOOOOMMM!!!☄

Erza: "GAAAHHHH!!!"

Erza was sent flying back from a blast of magic power, causing the Scarlet Knight to growl as the Indigo Villain taunted.

Jellal: "Someone's worse for wear. Don't tell me you used up all that immense legendary Titania S-Class Magic power against that Half Baked Assassin, Ikaruga."

Erza: "GRRRR!"

Slapping the ground, Erza summoned a buster sword as she launched herself at Jellal.

Erza: "JELLAL! YOU'RE THROUGH!"

*SHIN-*

*TOOOM!*

The girl yelled in a mass of Rage as she swung her buster at the Indigo Villain, as he blocked the attack with a Golden Magic Circle. Erza then quickly summoned another massive blade and began attacking Jellal with a barrage of powerful slashes, destroying the Crystals under her as Jellal simply laughed, dodging and deflecting her attacks over and over in their dance of Indigo Amusement and Scarlet Rage.

Jellal: "The Magic Council's Headquarters is little more than a pile of rubble now. I can't tell you how much of a blessing Ultear has been. I couldn't have done it without her, she has no fear of death, because she believes all of mankind will become one in Zeref's Heaven. Infact, she'd be more than happy to give her life if it meant my dream would come to fruition. That reminds me, I should thank her for being an ignorant fool who's easy to manipulate. Oh, on that note, Thank You Very Much Erza."

Erza: "CURSE YOU!"

Erza jumped at Jellal again, swinging her massive blade only for him to jump away again, always landing on the high ground looking down on Erza with a smile.

Erza: "I'M TAKING REVENGE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE YOU'VE ABUSED! THIS IS THE END JELLAL! I'LL KILL YO-"

*Ktktkktktkt-*

Jellal: "Man you really suck at this game."

Suddenly, Erza's movements were restrained as Medusa-esk Snake Markings appeared on her back and went down her body, quickly and suddenly haunting all of the Scarlet Knight's movements.

Erza: "Hah!? What's happening to my body?"

Jellal: "Bind snake. A type of Dark Magic Living Spell that captures its prey and sucks away at their magic while making them helpless to do anything about it. They're a bitch to remove, and they really hurt then they start Draining you. Wanna know how that feels?"

Erza: "Get this thing o-"

Jellal: "It feels like this!"

*Snap!*

*Ktktktktktktktktk!*

Erza: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Erza screamed in a mass of pain as Jellal just stood there watching as she was forced to stand there and her magic was slowly drained away.

Jellal: "Hurts don't it? Well, I've never experienced it, but I can just tell by the screams. Now that the magic has been collected for the R-System, only a few more things need to be done in order for the tower to be fully activated. This is where you take center stage my dear. The Magic Energy held within this Lacryma must be fused within the body of my Sacrifice, once that happens your flesh shall be reduced to nothing as all that Magic Power opens a gate, allowing Zeref's Soul to return from the beyond and make a temporary home inside of this Tower of Heaven."

Jellal said as a giant Gate like Crystal appeared behind Erza as the Indigo Villain walked up to her.

Jellal: "Then once Y/n makes his way up to the tower, he'll enter this same gate. His Soul will be removed and forced to be imprisoned in this tower for an Eternity, while Zeref's Soul makes the Delivery Boy's body his home. He may not like the Size all too much, but I'm sure he'll be pleased with its Power! And if you're not happy, then look at it this way, whatever remains of you and Y/n's soul after all this shall be conjoined together in this Beautiful Tower… so atleast you won't be alone… well, you won't be until this entire towers from Zeref's Revival… so you won't be alone for a Few Minutes. Any last words?"

Erza: "Yo-You B-Ba-"

Jellal: "Whoops!"

*Shove!*

Erza: "AH! AAAAHHHHH!!!"

Jellal: "You know… I really did love you Erza… and having you become the Gateway to Heaven, is truly the best way I can express such love."

Jellal said as Erza began getting sucked into the Tower, her body quickly filled with a mass of pain as she already felt the power of the Racist-System draining her magic, filling her with more and slowly tearing her body apart atom by atom.

Jellal: "OH GREAT AND POWERFUL ZEREF! I CALL UPON YOU! TO OFFER YOU THIS WOMAN'S FLESH AS A GATEWAY TO ALLOW YOUR SOUL BACK INTO THIS WORLD!"

Erza: "DON'T DO THIS!"

Jellal: "......."

Erza: "PLEASE! JJJEELLLAAA-"

*DONK*

Erza: "GAH!"

"Will you PLEASE stop yelling, DIRECTLY into my Eardrum!"

Suddenly, both Jellal and Erza were shocked as the two suddenly looked around, only to see that Erza was no longer in the Oddly Liquid Crystal, but instead on the ground a few feet away from it. Erza was extremely confused until she looked up, only to see that Y/n was kneeling down next to her, trying to get the odd Liquid Crystal off of his hand by shaking it off… only to give up and whip it on Erza's pants.

Erza: "Y/n?"

Jellal thoughts: "When did he get here?"

Y/n: "Yo… I didn't know you had a Tattoo."

Y/n said looking down at the Binding Snake holding Erza in place.

Erza: "... That's not a Tattoo, it's a Dark Magic spell keeping me from moving and has drained all my magic power…"

Y/n: "Oh, that makes more sense. You don't seem like that kinda person to get a Tattoo… although you would look kinda cool with one…"

Y/n said casually as if he wasn't standing on a giant tower made of crystal Lacryma made to revive a Technically Not Dead Dark Wizard God who may or may not be Natsu's Brother and fucked Mavis.

Y/n: "... Oh yeah, another question. What's the Magic Council guy doing here? I know they blasted this place with a Magic Fat Man, but I didn't think they'd send one of their own guys to die… It's One hellova way to execute someone…"

Erza: "Y/n… That's not Siegrain… there never was a Siegrain, that's Jellal. The Magic Councilman you knew was simply a projection."

Y/n: "... Seriously? Wait the only difference was a Stupid Lookin Mustache how didn't you get caught!?"

Y/n said turning towards Jellal with a confused look causing there to be silence for a moment.

Jellal: "... I simply said that we were twin brothers."

Y/n: "Really!? And you didn't even try to cover up that Stupid Eye Birth Mark Tattoo you've got on your face?"

Jellal: "Excuse me? Eye Tattoo?"

Y/n: "That stupid lookin Red thing you've got over and under your Right Eye."

Jellal: "... I have no idea what you are talking about."

Y/n: "........"

Jellal: "........"

Y/n: ".... Are you…. slow?"

Jellal: "WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT!?"

Y/n: "A Honest One."

Erza: "Y/n!"

Erza suddenly yelled quickly getting Y/n's attention.

Erza: "You have to get out of here as fast as you can."

Y/n: "... But I just got here."

Erza: "That's not the point!"

Y/n: "Then what is Sword Hoarder?"

Erza: "You can't fight him!"

Y/n: "Why not?"

Erza: "... He's too power-"

Y/n: "Erza, this is the guy who Faked a Delivery to bring me here for the sole reason of Sacrificing me, and in the end let that same Delivery get obliterated by a Magic Nuke not only starting but ruining the Vacation I didn't even wanna go on, you of all people should know that I'm Sending him to Heaven in the way he did not intend. So, tell me why I can't fight him."

Erza: "... You don't know anything about him…"

Y/n: "...... Really? None of us knew a thing about those Assassin guys and we still kicked the fuck out of them."

Erza: "That's Diff-"

*Bonk!*

Erza: "OW!"

Y/n: ".... You don't want me to fight him because deep down you still think you have the slightest atom sized chance to save your Childhood Crush and Friend, despite him literally trying to evaporate your body in order to summon the Soul of THE Death Wizard about a minute ago?"

…….

Erza was silent for a moment as Y/n said this with a dead serious look on his face… ears welled up in Erza's eye as she laid there helpless.

Erza: "Please… I know you're not a part of our Guild and I have no authority over you… but please… do as I say…"

Y/n: "..... You really wanna live in a world where you and that Blue Idiot can be friends again, huh?"

Erza: "... I d-"

Y/n: "Then Dream About It."

*BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!!*

Erza: "GGAAH-"

*Thud*

Y/n: "Cause that's the only place that world gonna exist…"

Suddenly Y/n slammed his fist into Erza's stomach, causing the ground under her to crack as she was quickly and suddenly knocked unconscious, easily shocking Jellal a bit.

Jellal: "... You're odder than I expected you to be. What kind of satisfaction do you get from striking a defenseless friend?"

Y/n: ".... Once Upon a Time… there lived a Boy and an Immortal Demon."

Jellal: "Hmm?"

Y/n: "The boy and the Demon started out as enemies, but the two of them shared a Mutual admiration for Strength in fighting. When they first met, the boy easily defeated the Demon, killing him once… as time passed the Demon and the Boy came face to face over and over again, having duel after Duel. Sometimes the Demon would win, but most times the boy. The Demon Considered himself and the boy one in the same. One day, the Boy's closest friend died… and after his death, another one of his close friends that he fought alongside to save the world seemed to have betrayed their cause, fighting for the same reason as his Closest Friend's Murderer… the boy was broken… and used his strength solely to fight for his fallen friend's honor… he fought against his former ally and the Demon came to his side to help along side that fight… soon after more and more of the boy's allies betrayed him… he felt although he was alone… he couldn't decide between his friends, or what he had been fighting for all these years… the Demon Consulted him… he was his only friend left… he didn't care for anything other than what the two of them truly believed in… strength and power… and using that power, the boy realized something and made the correct choice, fighting alongside his friends… a long journey later… the boy and the Demon faced eachother once again… the Demon lived his immortal life only to fight and grow stronger… that is what he believed to be his one and only purpose… so he did just that… despite his constant denials the boy refused to fight the demon, his friend, any longer… but the Demon demanded that he did… that this would be his final fight… a battle that can only be described as legendary unfolded… As the Demon and the Boy, rivals turned best friends were forced to face off for the final time… and just like the first time they faced… The boy had won their duel… killing the Demon for a final time and, leaving only the Demon's Power and Scarf for the boy in their final goodbye…"

Jellal: "... Was that supposed to change my heart?"

Y/n: "You really are slow… No, it's a children's story from a time before this world's Ancient History. There's a lesson to it, that sometimes you have to do things you don't want to, to help your friends and stuff. But I guess you wouldn't get that though, being the biggest asshole right now… Well Second Biggest actually, *small gasp* You're both blue!"

Jellal: "Enough of your nonsense. If you only came here to lecture me then you should know I won't listen."

Y/n: ".... Hey, wanna know something funny?"

Jellal: "What no-"

*BBBBLLLLAAAAMMMM!!!*

*FFFWWWOOOOOO-*

*BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!*

Jellal: "KAHAA!"

Suddenly, Y/n was seen gripping Gekido as he slammed it right into Jellal's chest, quickly sending the man flying through the air with beyond extreme speed and crashing right into a Crystal wall, shattering it on impact. Jellal looked up at Y/n, only to see that the neutral uncaring expression he had before had disappeared, suddenly replaced by a shadow covering his eyes as he looked down at the ground.

Y/n: "If you pulled this shit before I met Erza and the rest of Fairy Tail, I probably would have settled with erasing your dominant arm before leaving you to your Zeref Reviving assatry… but I do know them… hell I actually care about a lot of them and consider them my friends… and when I first saw them at this stupid resort I thought I was actually gonna have some fun on this damned vacation… but now you've dragged all of us into this… you hurt my all of my friends and you made Erza, one of the most amazing Wizards I know look like damn fool…"

Y/n then looked at Jellal, revealing an intense and deadly glare with a dark almost deathly aura around himself, a look that sent shivers down his spine as he dispelled Gekido and summoned Rekka, the blade already radiating a mass of fire power.

Y/n: "I won't settle for taking an Arm or a Leg anymore! And I don't give a shit about what you did to ruin my Job or my Day either… for what you've done to my friends, I'll Take your Life! I'll reduce you to nothing but a Bad Dream and a Horrible Memory for Erza and the rest of the people you've made suffer! 
I Won't Rest Until You're Dead! 

So until then…"

Gripping the Limiter Cuff on his Left arm, Y/n ripped it off causing his odd magic circle to appear before it slammed into the back of his right hand, causing something very few expected to see to appear…

Y/n: 
"From now until you take your final breath I'm fighting for my Friends! 
YOU HEAR ME!? 
FROM THIS POINT ON CONSIDER ME A WIZARD OF FAIRY TAIL!"

……….

The ending song was the After Note to this Episode… but it was so long I just decided to make it it's own chapter…

What ending song? I hear you thinking!

Give it a few minutes...

Anyway!
