"Homura!!!!!!"

As Homura was lying on his back, Lucy, Happy, and Natsu were running towards him. When they reached him, they all tackled him into a hug. While they were smiling, Homura was tapping the ground with his hand repeatedly.

"Ow ow ow ow!!!! Uncle! Uncle!!!!!!"

"Sorry. But man....to think you were so strong. I couldn't have asked for a better sidekick!!!!"

"I went from brother to sidekick....you're cruel, Natsu."

As Homura felt a bit of sweat drop from his head, a smile slowly formed on his face. He actually did it. He defeated the man who put Makarov in his condition and he defeated the man who hurt Levy and her team. However, as he was lying down, he saw that Happy had a worried look on his face.

"Natsu, Homura......if you two are at your limit.....who's gonna fight Jose?!"

As Happy said this, Lucy's eyes widen in horror. Happy was right, Homura and Natsu were too exhausted to fight Jose. However, Happy and Lucy soon looked at Homura and Natsu as they were both chuckling.

"There's no need to worry about it. My intuition hasn't failed me yet. We'll win, right Natsu?"

"Yeah...I caught his scent earlier, but now i'm certain....he's got this."

~Meanwhile~
Mira was seen on the ground, badly injured by Jose. When she looked around, she saw Gray, Lambo, and Elfman in the same position as her. However, she didn't have time to think as Jose approached her.

"It seems that dragon and the boy went on a rampage. Tell me, Mirajane, do you know why I didn't kill Makarov outright?"

Jose moves his hand in an arc before him, engulfing a large area in an explosion following the same pattern as his hand. As Mira and the others were caught in the spell, a sadistic smile appeared on Jose's face.

"Despair! I wish to show him despair. How will he feel when the first thing he sees after opening his eyes is the guild he loved so much destroyed and his precious "children" completely defeated? I will only kill him as he feels nothing but anguish. I will make him suffer to the very end!!!!"

As Jose said this, he summoned several shades to entangle Mira's body. As their grip on her grew tighter, Mira couldn't hold back her screams of pain. However, Jose merely thought of it as music to his ears.

"Your guild was nothing but a thorn in my side. We were known as the number one guild. Our power and funds were second to none. But then in a few years, Fairy Tail came into power. Laxus, Erza, Mystogan, Gildarts, those names spread as far as to my hometown. And recently rumors of Salamander spread through the country. Before I knew it...your guild was considered "equal" to mine. And if you gained access to the Heartfilia Family's funds, then you'd truly surpass us....AND THAT IS ONE THING I WILL NEVER FORGIVE!!!!!"

"You started this over something so trivial? If anyone has a right to be angry, it is I."

As a voice echoed through the area, Jose lost his focus as the shades he used to ensnare Mira vanished. He recognized this magic power as a smile appeared on his face. While Mira landed harshly on the ground, she turned around as she saw a single man standing before her.

"You have spilled much blood here, the blood of children. Thanks to the pitiful parents, the children went through pain and shed many tears. This has gone far enough.....I must put an end to this."

As Mira had tears of joy escaping from her eyes, she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw that it was Elfman who did so as Lambo was on his shoulder. Soon Gray walked towards them as they all began to run out of Phantom Lord's hideout. They knew if they stayed here, they'd just get in Makarov's way. As the group escaped, Jose and Makarov glared at each other as their magic power began to increase.

"You wish to cause a cataclysm?"

"If it's necessary for my guild."

"Fine. Allow me to welcome you to your grave, Makarov Dreyar!!!!!!"

A brief moment. Jose and Makarov's magic clashed in a brief moment. The moment this happened, the very earth beneath their feet began to shake violently. As Jose and Makarov jumped back to gain some distance, Jose merely smirked at this situation.

"Dead Wave!!!!!"

Jose sent a wave of his shades rushing towards Makarov, splitting anything in its path, including the very ground itself. Seeing this, Makarov merely held out his own hand as he released his own magic power. Jose's spell caused an explosion so large, that the people that were outside fighting his shades could see it.

"You won't best me Makarov. I am your equal, no, your superior!!!! I have the superior guild! I have the superior power! Your pathetic guild could never be more powerful than my own!!!!!"

Jose moves his hand in an arc before him, engulfing a large area in an explosion following the same pattern as his hand. The man laughed, knowing Makarov was hit directly. However, that laughter came to a halt when he saw a single person walking towards him.

"Watch your tone, boy."

As Makarov walked forward, he was continuously releasing a destructive surge of light. The light destroyed everything in its path as Makarov approached Jose.

"As the custom of Fairy Tail's justice system, i'll give you til the count of three. Kneel. One."

"Hmm. Hahahaha! I was wondering what nonsense you would speak and that's it!!""

"Two."

"You want me to kneel to you and acknowledge you as the greatest guild?! Quit fooling around!!!!!!!!"

"Three."

"You are the ones who should be kneeling before me! Now die and crumble into dust, Fairy Tail!!!!"

"Fairy Law."

As Makarov casts Fairy Law, a bright light envelops the entire area. As this happened, the members of Fairy Tail that were outside saw Jose's shades fading in the light. As the members of Fairy Tail saw this, Happy was seen carrying Homura to the rest of the guild. After doing so, he looked towards Lucy and Natsu, who he already transported here. As he too began to wonder what that light was, he heard Mira speak up.

"Fairy Law. The holy light that smites the darkness. It only attacks what the caster's heart considers an enemy. It's considered to be one of the most legendary spells to exist."

~With Makarov~
As the light fades away, the rest of Phantom Lord's headquarters could be seen completely destroyed. Two figures were seen standing in the destroyed guild. One was shaking in fear as he lost the will to fight, as the other was seen walking away. However, one thing needed to be said.

As Makarov was walking back to where his guild members were, he saw them all crying tears of joy. Finally, the battle against Phantom Lord was over. However, as he looked around, he saw Reborn heading towards Homura.

"It seems i'm not the only one raising children."

Soon Reborn made it to where Homura was. As he saw Reborn staring at him, Homura was inwardly panicking as he thought Reborn might kick him. However, that didn't happen as Reborn simply put his hand on Homura's head.

"You did well. You fought to your limit and achieved your goal. Be sure to report to me on how those Dying Will Pills helped."

"Reborn....."

When Reborn looked at Homura, he saw the boy standing up. Immediately afterwards, the boy bowed to the hitman. As Reborn looked at Homura, he saw tears dripping down from the boy's face.

"We gave it our all and barely won. I'm glad we're alright in the end, but.....I don't want to feel this desperate again. I don't want to feel this weak again. I don't want to see my friends hurt again...so i'm begging you Reborn......TEACH ME TO BE STRONG!!!!!"

"So these are your true feelings. You didn't mention anything about your status as boss. You didn't complain. All you want is to be strong enough to protect your friends...heh. My students really are something."

"Of course I will. After all, i'm your tutor."

The long battle has finally been put to an end. The battle against Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord is finally at an end. With new found resolve, Homura pledges to get stronger.

~Meanwhile~
"Voi! Where the hell are you going?!"

A single man was seen roaming in a forest searching for his prey. He began to grow agitated as he couldn't find his opponent. However, the moment he heard the sound of rustling leaves behind him, a smile appeared on his face as he ran in that direction.

"I've found you, you bastard!"

"Thank goodness...throwing a rock in that direction actually worked."

A single boy was seen hiding behind a tree. As he reached into his pocket, he held a single photo in his hand. As he began to walk away, he thought to himself as he got a good luck of the person in the photo.

"It will take a few days to reach Magnolia from here. Don't worry Master, I promise to fulfill my mission. I'll find him and give him what you asked me to deliver."
