Chapter 7: Ouroboros and Moebius

The scene starts with a small city full of good people where Avatar is on its outskirts getting ready for their assault. Alok is at the top of a hill with all of Avatar, ready to enact the purification plan to summon Zeref.

Jerome: You should have seen it! He turned into this this monster!

Briar: This is shocking. And what of Gray and Gomon?

Jerome: I don't know. Maybe he ended them? My lord, should we try this another time? After all, what if he comes here?!

Alok: No. The purification plan must start today.

Jerome: My lord.....

Briar: Calm down, bottom lashes. Because at this point, none of it matters.

Jerome: (confused) Bottom lashes?

Briar: Look, do you see what's happening here? Every member of every secret branch in Fiore has gathered together for the purification plan. So if even if this monster or the Council decides to try to stop us, they wouldn't have a snowball's chance against all of our true believers.

Jerome: (nodded) Yes, very good point. (thoughts) I could leave with bottom lashes.

Abel: (smile) This is going to be so much fun, I'm ready to purify!

D-6: Hmm...

Mary: (smile) We're like really gonna meet Zeref!

Alok: (to his followers) Now we shall execute our purification plan! Malba will be sacrificed! (Avatar members cheer) This city is a trove of innocents! 30,000 lives a buzz of excitement, oblivious to what terror awaits them! The purity of the souls we harvest today will prove to be irresistible for our dark lord Zeref! He will join our feast! (Avatar members cheer again) We offer this bounty of 30,000 lives, so he may cleanse the world and remake it in his image! (raised his staff) Let us purify every soul in the city! CHARGE!!! 

The leader orders his cult members to charge into the city. All about over 2,000 soldiers are charging at the city's entrance. As the members of Avatar charge at the city's entrance, they notice a group of people standing in front.

Avatar member #1: Do these fools think they can stand in our way?!

Avatar member #2: They'll die first in the name of our dark lord Zeref!

Avatar member #3: We'll purify every last one!

As the members of Avatar approached the city entrance, suddenly, a pillar of fire had took out the first wave of enemies.

Alok is shocked to see a large portion of Avatar taken out by one person and with one attack. Jerome, Briar, and Jerome are shocked not only that most of their members were taken out by one person with one attack, but also they know who did it because of the pillar of fire and the remember the magic power of a certain wizard.

It was Y/N, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Mio, Taion, Noah, and Euine. Each one had a smile that was just radiant confidence.

Natsu: (smile) There ain't no way you meatheads are gonna get past us! Step on up and I'll roast ya!

Y/N: Yeah! So form a line and be prepared for the fight of your life!

Jerome: My lord! (points at Y/N) It's him! That's the one!

Alok: Hmmm...

Eunie: I hope you Fairy Tail wizards got stronger since your guild disbanded, because here comes some more.

Mio: Taion, now!

Taion: Right! Here we go! (holds up the Mondo)

With that Taion unleashed a swarm of Mondo upon the Avatar members. All of them being swept away by them. 

Lucy: Check this out, guys. (pulls out one of her golden keys) Here goes! Open! Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!

Lucy summons Taurus to help them fight, because he is one of her strongest spirits and well versed in physical combat.

Taurus: I'm so ready to moooove! Did somebody order beefcake?!

Lucy: Plus! Star Dress!

Lucy's outfit begins to change. She is now her Star Dress: Taurus Form.

Lucy: (readies her whip) In cowgirl style!

Taurus: Mooo! Let's round them up!

Y/N: (blush) Holy crap! She looks so hot...!

A: (dark look) What was that Y/N? (holds up the Monado Fencer)

Y/N: (scared) A! What are you doing?! Shouldn't you be with Matthrew and Erza?!

A: (dark look) I thought you would need me. (tap her finger against her sword's blunt side) Now what was that you just said? And be honest!

Y/N: (scared) I-I....

Jerome: (angry) Fullubster! I knew it!

Briar: These fools infidels will not hinder our plan for purification! Let us dispose of them!

Avatar member: I'm sorry sir! But the enemy is taking from the rear as well! We're losing soldiers as we speak!

Jerome: Say what?! The Council's army is already here?!

Avatar member: Uh, not exactly, sir... It's just two people!

The people attacking Avatar from behind is revealed to be Erza and Matthew, who finally caught up with the others and is ready to fight. 

Matthew: (kicks a cultist in the head) You know, you're not bad!

Erza: (slashes at another cultist with her sword) You're not so bad yourself!

Matthew: (uppercut another cultist) Thanks! You know you remind me of someone I know!

Erza: Do I now?

Matthew: Yeah! Though her red hair is a bit shorter than yours.

Erza: Interesting.

Natsu: (smile) Haha yeah! Been a while since we had this kind of party!

Noah: (slash at a cultist) You think this a party?

Euine: I think so! (shot a cultist down) Besides I think he's right (bash a cultist on his side and then his head) In a weird way of course.

Gray: (smile) We're gonna have to do it up right.

Lucy: (smile) This really brings back some memories, huh?

Happy: (smile) Aye!

Erza: (smile, to Avatar) You want purification? Then we will start with you!

A: You might have to wait a bit for it. (point her sword a them) But I'm sure we'll get to all of you.

Natsu: (engulfed his fist in flames) Let's go!

Gray: (puts his fist on the palm of his other hand with an icy wind) Come on!

A bunch of more cult soldiers begin charging at them for interfering with their plan. Natsu unleashed a blast of fire from his fist which blew some cultists away.

Gray unleashes a beam of ice which freezes some Avatar members in ice. Y/N slashed down some of them, while A followed up to finish them. 

 Mio dashed toward them and struck them down with her Dual Moonblades. One cultist tried to attack from behind, but leaped over him and threw her weapon at his head knocking him out.

Mio: (looks around her) This battle.... feel different.

Taion: I get what you mean. It's like we fight to protect people instead of taking lives.

Euine: Yea..... Feels nice, doesn't it?

Noah: It is. Now, let us save this city!

Lucy: Yeah! Let's show them what we got! Earth Wave!

Lucy used her whip to slam it at the ground, creating a blue wave of energy that took out some of the cult people. Taurus swings his axe and took out some cultists too. A member of Avatar grabs Lucy's whip. 

Avatar Member: Now, my brothers! Take her down! (Avatar members charge at Lucy)

Y/N: (worried) Lucy!

Lucy: (smirk) You don't have to worry about little old me. Cuz in this outfit, (easily sent them flying)

I could deal with a lot of bull!

Y/N stares in awe while blushing at her incredible strength and how hot, beautiful, and sexy she is in her outfit. Lucy turns at Y/N and gives a smile with a wink. A looked at this with irritation.

Gray saves Lucy from an ambushing Avatar member by freezing him in midair, then he snaps his fingers and creates an iceberg to take out another wave of enemies. 

Natsu then runs up to the iceberg before he jumps back down and slams down a fiery fist which blasts away a lot of Avatar members. Natsu then unleashes a torrent of flames from his mouth that burn down some of the cultists. 

Looking at the battlefield from a distance was K and S.

Consul K: (laughs) Look at them! Fools are them! What does worshiping the Dark Fool get them? Nothing but pain! (laughs) What do you think of this, S? Shall we make a bet to see how many times those fools fall on their faces?

Consul S: I couldn't care less of those Avatar weaklings. What I want is Erza, and now I can finally achieve my desire. 

Consul K: (waves him off) Blah! Well me and some others hate to think that one of the Lesser would dare join us. Well... Not still alive that is.

???: My, I didn't expect you two here.

They turned and saw the Consul that was inside Avatar's HQ appeared.

Consul K: What are you doing here, U?

Consul U: I was merely watching over those fools, (sees Gray) though I didn't expect him to be with them as a spy.

Consul S: Well. It's quite a surprise to see you. Were you informed like the rest of us of our little problem?

Consul U: I have. But mostly I came here to see that ice wizard.

Consul K: Well. I have to say all goals seem to be connected with each other. (looks at Natsu) So what do we think of him?

Consul S: Still a fighting machine, just like when we first met.

Consul U: Well. I think he's not worth the time! I say we do what we've done with the rest! Turn him into one of our little pets! Besides I want to see the heartbroken look the Black Fool gets when he sees him as one.

Consul K: Ah, just in time. Ethel and Colony 4 are arriving now with the experiment. Shall make things interesting?

Consul U: I wonder what they will do after all I've seen the little one! It's more vicious than anything I've seen before.

Consul K: Oh! Even more than that thing? Well then things became much more fun! Showtime!

Noah just dodge an attack while counterattacking when he saw Ethel come into view.

Noah: What? Ethel?!

Euine: What do you just say?! (looks in his direction) Oh no! Not good!

Ethel: There you are! You monsters!

Erza: Backup? They don't look like the Magic Council?

Matthew: No, they're from Keves!

Gray: Keves?! But what are they doing here? I thought they were in some kind of century-long war with someone.

Mio: You said...Ethel? You mean Silvercoat Ethel?

Lucy: You know her?

Mio: Even in Agnus, the name has spread far and wide. Silvercoat Ethel... A veteran soldier unmatched in strength. People would whisper...about how she felled three colonies at once with just a hundred troops!

Y/N: Well. That's not good! (looks at Ethel and sees her right eye) Her eye! That glow! Must mean...

Y/N, A, and Matthew: A Consul is here! 

Erza: A Consul? (look at Gray) Do you have any idea what those three are talking about?

Gray: (confused) No clue. I only knew that all of Avatar would be here.

Noah: Ethel! It's me! Noah, from Colony 9! You know us, you saved us back in Colony 14! You praised my Blade... You must remember!

Ethel: You say I helped you... in Colony 14?

Noah: You did!

Ethel: (unsure) Really?

But in her view, he takes the form of a being shrouded in black clouds with glowing eyes.

Ethel: I've no recollection of helping you! (raise her arm) OPEN FIRE!!!

With that command, they started to rain artillery shells onto the field. Blowing up several of the cultists in the process.

Briar: (annoyed) NOW WHAT?!

Mary: WTF! They're animals! Like super scary creatures! Like monsters!

Briar: No offense, but you need to do some work to seriously strengthen your vocabulary.

D-6: They appeared to aim not only at us, but them as well. What do you make of this, my lord?

Alok: Purify them, every last one of them! They must not interfere with the purification plan!

All of them nodded, while some of the Kevesi troops were preparing something with the cage.

Kevesi Trooper #1: Alright, get this set up, we don't want it to go off before we give it orders!

Kevesi Trooper #2: Yes Sir! (pound a stake into the ground)

Kevesi Trooper #3: Preparing the chain for the creature! (wraps a chain around the stake)

Then the first one actived the a small drone that pick up the chain and flew into the cage, while the thing inside tried to destroy it. But the drone put the chain on a collar and flew out of it.

Kevesi Trooper #1: Alright! (look at Ethel and saluted) It's ready!

Ethel: Then.... Release it!

The cage door opened up and allowed the creature inside to walk out. It was a huge, rock looking monster with a crab-like body and a rhino-like face. It walks on six crab-like legs and has spikes on its legs. It has a long horn and small ears. It also had a dark purple/grey color scheme with sunken red eyes.

Creature: ROAR!

All eyes were on the creature, everyone was surprised by it especially Y/N, A, and Matthew.

A: Is that what I think it is?

Matthew: Oh boy! They're trying something new!

Y/N: Those Moebius are creating new monsters! 

Lucy: You mean that monster is something new those Moebius guys created?!

Y/N: No..... It's something worse.

The creature tried to escape from the chain and unleashed its fury upon everyone, but as it did, it didn't notice a giant purple energy circle appeared from behind. Then shooting out of and grabbing the rock-like creature was a red insect arm with three claws attached to it, and pulled it and the spike with some of the ground it was in into the gate.

Noah: What?

Y/N: That creature was just a lure.

Mio: For what?

Y/N: The real one. 

Soon coming out of the gate and grabbing the ground was a pair of demon-like arms wrapped in belts on its right upper arm and left forearm, gauze bandages around its right forearm and left hand. The red insect arm came out along with a skeleton arm, both grabbing the ground as well. Using the hold it had a massive creature pulled itself though the gate, its head had a black skull helmet with a long horn with red hair underneath on the back of its head, and it's shark-like eyes were yellow. Its lower jaw and body had orange with blue stripes covering the body. Just like with two sets of arms, it had two sets of wings as well. With the top pair being angel wings, and it lowers pair were both red and a bit worn. It legs resembling a wolf with light blue fur, with dark blue tiger stripes and purple claws. And finally the tail had some black armor on the back of its tail and the rest of it had a greyish build. 

The Frankenstein looking creature raised its head and unleashed a deep roar that sound like it had multiple voices.

Monster: (Loud multi layer roar)

Everyone looked at it like it was an abomination out of hell itself.

Lucy: (scared) W-W-W-W-WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!

Happy: It's so big and angry!

The creature let out a snarl and drool, as the drool hit the ground, it melted it.

Mary: (scared) W-W-W-What?!

Briar: (scared) Is that a demon from Lord Zeref's book?!

Jerome: (scared) No, I don't sense any demonic power. It could be a new species we haven't heard about!

D-6: (scared) My lord, what do we do?! My lord? My lord?

Consul K: Very well done, Ethel. I do so love your loyalty. Now, the enemy is before you. Chase them to the ends of the world. Not a single one of them can escape.

Consul U: Hmmm. Look at them! Shaking in their boots! What do you think, S?..... S? (turns her head) Where did he go?

Consul K: Let him go, he has someone he wants to meet for a long time. Just like you would, U.

Consul U: Yes..... What I do. It's for her. Now! (her eye began to glow) Ethel, command Kimera to attack!

Ethel (her right eye glow brightly) Yes..... Hybrid Warrior Experiment #1325! Kimera! ATTACK!!!

Kimera: (loud multi layer roar)

Kimera took off to the sky, and reeled its head back and unleashed a beam of fire from its mouth, burning several cultists with it. Then it slammed itself into the ground, creating a small earthquake and destroying the ground around it. 

Seeing some of the cultists it grabbed them with its matching arms and dropped them into its mouth and ate them.

Lucy: (walks up to Y/N) Y/N?! What is that...... thing!

Y/N: It's a hybrid of multiple monsters. Moebius like to experiment and create new creatures in case they've run out of Kevesi or Agunian troops.

Matthew: Look at it! It must've taken them months to create it! Just look at all the different parts it has!

A: If that creature lets loose, it'll not only kill us, but everyone in the city as well.

Y/N: Well.... (points his sword at it) Let's deal with it! Before it does! So steel your nerves!

Y/N charges at the creature with A following behind.

Erza: You heard him! That thing will destroy everything if we don't stop it! So move out!

She took toward it her horse, and once she got close enough she jumped off it.

Erza: Requip!

She was then surrounded by a bright light and when it faded she stood there in her new armor. This armor takes the form of a beautiful, white revealing gown with a hem sprouting from it and a red collar, being tied with a red and gold belt that resembles an obi. The upper part of the dress includes red and white shoulderless sleeves and a rose decoration on the user's left hand, while the foot wearings are a pair of red and gold knee-high heel boots. In addition to all of this, the armor consists of swords being used for various purposes, albeit primarily as wings, adding to the peculiarity. 

Erza: Behold my Ataraxia Armor! Soaring Blade!

Erza's new armor allows her to use 8 giant swords that she can use at once with her telekinesis to attack multiple enemies at a time. She attacked several of the remaining cultists and some of the advancing Kevesi soldiers.

Keves Soldier #1: What's happening?!

Keves Soldier #2: The swords can fly! It's like they have a mind of their own!

The blades attack the soldiers in circular motion and shortly afterwards, her enemies find themselves on the ground.

Erza: So do you still intend to still fight me.

The Keves soldier said nothing and stared at her in fear.

???: Impressive! 

Erza turned and saw Consul S appeared. 

Consul S: Truly, that was impressive.

Erza: Huh? Who are you?! (points her swords at him) Are you responsible for those soldiers and that monster?!

Consul S: You could say that. Though, I mostly wanted to see you.

Erza: (confused) Me?! Who are you?! (moves her swords closer to him) TELL ME!

Consul S: So, you don't recognize me after all these years?

Erza: Recognize you? Have we met before?

Consul S: We did, maybe this will help you remember.

The Consul pressed a button on the back of his helmet as the helmet started to disappear, revealing his face.

Erza: (eyes widened) W-W-W-W-What? No..... How? But I saw..... You can't be here?!

The Consul face was familiar to her. Standing there was a man whose left eye was covered in a simple, dark eyepatch, held up by an extremely slim rope, with a thin scar emerging from under it and going down diagonally on his cheek. His massive jaw was obscured by an armored metal plate, bearing lines of studs on its upper edges and two side protrusions jutting upwards, plus a set of teeth-like ornaments, overall resembling a skeletal jaw.

Consul S: It's been a while, Erza. Eight years, perhaps.

Erza: Simon..... How? You died at the Tower! I was there! I felt......I felt.....

Consul S: I thought to myself the same thing. After I died at the Tower of Heaven, my body was recovered by a group of people called Moebius. And then they revived me as one of them in hopes I would get to see you and my sister, Kagura.

Erza: (shocked) Revived you? But how?

Consul S: Good question. I wondered about that myself. But now, we've finally met again after all this time.

Erza: (tears in her eyes) Simon..... Jellal and the others will be so glad to hear this.

Consul S: Jellal? You mean that mad man who killed me? Don't tell me you're friends with him now.

Erza: Mad man? Listen, I have to tell you something....

Consul S: So you fell for it, haven't you?

Erza: What?

Consul S: I see it now. You've become Jellal's slave just like he did to me, Milliana, Wally, and Sho!

Erza: What?! NO! Listen, Jellal at that time was under a spell! The real reason he acted like that was because of the leader of the Dark Guild: Grimoire Heart! 

Consul S: I know. But it's a lie! The leader of Moebius told me so!

Erza: The leader of Moebius?

Consul S: He promised my desire for you and Kagura if I kill Jellal! To drive him into despair just like he did with us! To break his heart and feast upon his life force!

Erza: Simon......

Consul S: To finally get our revenge upon him! To take back what he stole from us! Erza.... (hold out his hand) Come with me! We can finally be together!

Erza: Join you? But...

Consul S: No worries! Kagura will come with us. Erza.... Moebius can give us back the time the three of us lost! No more pain or suffering, we can finally go back to our happier days without the Tower being made, without slaves both children and adults being forced to work and endured! All you have to do is become Moebius like me, and we can kill Jellal together. 

Erza: Simon..... (looks down with her hair covering her eyes)

Consul S: Erza..... There's something I have to tell..... Erza, I ....

Erza: No......

Consul S: (surprised) What?

Erza: Simon.... I cannot go with you. Don't you know what you're doing?! (gesture to Kimera attacking Avatar) Look at that thing! It's something Zeref could make!

Consul S: That is only an experiment meant to attack its enemies, not us.

Erza: But... Think about this! I am not lying about Jellal! He was under a spell! Can't you see that this Moebius is the one lying!

Consul S: So, you really are blind to see the truth. If you won't come with me peacefully, I'll just have to take you by force!

He closed his eye and suddenly transformed into a hulking monster similar to the Moebius form D and J took on. But he had a more robot looking face and his left arm was hulking with a skull like hand.

Erza: (shocked and horror) What...?

Moebius S: I have been chosen, to take the next step in evolution! To become something far more than just human. I am Moebius! (lung at her with his left arm) Erza! You will come with me!

???: The girl said no!

Sena appeared from behind him and smashed her hammer into his head, while Lanz shot at him with weapon turret mode.

Lanz: So it's true! The Consuls ARE Moebius!

Moebius S: So, you're Ouroboros. Here trying to take away my desire. I'll kill you two if it means claiming her as my own! 

He then grabbed Sena and threw her into Lanz. While Lanz did catch her, he was sent flying along with her.

Erza: Simon! STOP THIS!!!!

Moebius S: Sorry Erza. I didn't want us to fight, but you left me no choice! Now you'll get a taste of my new power!

Erza: (look at her hands and grips them) Simon..... (sent her swords at him) Forgive me.

Erza swords were flying toward Moebius S, who flicked them away with his left arm. He then punched the ground with it, creating a shock wave, sending her to the ground. He then lunged at her with his left hand open, but Sena got in front of him and smacked it away with all might.

Mobebius S: You pests! You will die for defying your destiny! 

Sena: Can it, you liar! (points her hammer at him) You people used me and my friends like toys!

Lanz: (comes next to Sena) And we've had enough of it! It's time for payback!

Sena: Lanz! Come on! (rushes at Moebius S)

Lanz: Right! (goes with her)

Moebius S: I'll enjoy killing you, Ouroboros scum! 

(with Gray)

Gray: Come on! First Avatar now, then these guys! I thought things were going to go easy for us!

???: Wasn't expecting that, did you?

Consul U appeared in front of Gray.

Consul U: Then again, you were so focused on one enemy that you didn't pay attention to much dangerous threats.

Gray: What? (hold out his hand) Who are you?!

Consul U: My, threatening a woman you haven't been able to see for so long? I thought I taught you better than that, Gray.

Gray: (confused) What do you mean by that?!

Consul U: Huh? Oh, right. You don't recognize me underneath my mask, do you? I'd hoped you would put all the pieces together, but sadly, you disappoint me. 

you would put all the pieces together, but sadly, you disappoint me.

The Consul reached behind her helmet and pressed something, making her helmet vanish in an instant, revealing her face. 

She had irises that were black and had her dark purple hair that was at chin length. Her hair was quite unkempt, cascading down the sides of her face and covering her ears. Only a few strands of her hair hung down her temple, some falling between her eyes.

Consul U: Hello Gray! Been a while hasn't it?

Gray: (shocked) W-What...? U-Ur...?

Consul U: Surprised?! Of course, you are! Last time you saw me, I turned into a block of ice (hold a finger to her chin) Or was it that I turned into a puddle? (waves her hand) Oh but it doesn't matter.

Gray: (shocked) But how? There's no way you can be revived without your body being restored.

Consul U: Yes. Iced Shell did cost me my body! (dramatic turns away with an arm to her forehead) Forever dooming me to life, as a drink or being used to clean a dirty body! Oh woes is me! (laughs) Come on! I told you there are guys way more powerful than me!

Gray: You were referring to Fairy Tail at that time, right?

Consul U: And other people yes. But look at me now! (gestures to her body) I got my curves and everything! (gropes her chest) Even my breasts are the same! Though I think I might have gone up a cup? (begins to continually grope herself) What do you think?

Gray: I... Are you really Ur? You're acting differently than how I remembered.

Consul U: (stop groping herself) Of course I'm Ur! I just didn't act this way in front of you! I didn't want you and Lyon to act like a major pervert to me or someone else. (looks at him) Though I might have done something wrong? You're in your underwear.

Gray: Huh? (looks down and notices he's in his underwear) OH CRAP!!! 

Consul U: Still have that habit don't you? I have no idea where you got that from!

Gray: You forgot I got this habit because of you and your training!

Consul U: (annoyed) ME?! I DIDN'T TEACH YOU THAT! IF ULTEAR WAS WITH YOU GUYS, SHE WON'T HAVE THAT!!!

Gray: (looks down) I'm sorry about Ultear... she's...

Consul U: The fault doesn't lie with you or Lyon..... (angry) It lies with that Black Fool!!!

Gray: (surprised) What? You mean Zeref?

Consul U: Yes! (angry) When I was restored to my body, I learned everything! From Ultear being taken to that horrible place, how I was told she had died, how she became a part of a dark guild! How she was tricked into believing I abandoned her! How that Black Fool's creation cost her time! Everything! For that I'll make him wish for death after I'm done with him!

Gray: (shocked) Ur... 

Consul U: (angry) I have only one goal in life now! And that's to make him pay for what he did to me! To us! And then the Moebius leader will restore my precious Ultear body to normal and we can be a family!

Gray was shocked, he had never seen this side of Ur before. To see her act this way reminded him of his father being revived during that battle with Tartaros.

Consul U: (angry) He cost me everything! My daughter, my body, and my life! Everything!!! I will make him pay for it! (look at Gray) Gray....... Will you help me?

Gray: Help you?

Consul U: Yes, with the three of us! You, me, and Lyon! We can kill Zeref! And with his death, so will E.N.D. life's faded!

Gray: E.N.D.? How did you know about that?

Consul U: The leader of Moebius told me everything about what happened in the world! He told me about your life, Lyon's, and my precious Ultear! He told me about your plan to kill E.N.D.! But if you kill Zeref, any of his remaining demons will die too!

Gray: Ur... you were never like this. What have they done to you?

Consul U: (angry) I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE!!! THAT BLACK FOOL COST ME MY LIFE!!!! AND MY DAUGHTER AND YOURS TOO!!!! (hold out her hand) Gray..... Join me! Together with Lyon, we can get back what he stole from us! We can get Ultear back as well. We can be a family again!

Gray: Sorry, but I can't... not the way you are now.

Consul U: (shocked) What.... But......

Gray: Don't get me wrong. Someday I will destroy E.N.D, and when I do it's gonna be on my terms, in a way that'll make my old man proud. The way you're talking about it, it's all wrong! Especially with that monster you've just unleashed! Ultear would never want her mother to be like that!

She got an angry look on her face. She then closed her eyes.

Consul U: (angry) Fine.... If you want it that way. (opens her eyes) Then I'll just do it myself!!!

Then she transformed into her Moebius form. Similar to others, but with jagged claws made of ice and her face looked similar to......

Gray: (shocked) Deliora?!

Moebius U: Behold! The power of Moebius! With this power, Zeref will fear me and (hold her hand) my new ice power!

She then unleashed a stream of blue fire at Gray, who dodge it. But the Avatar's cultists behind him weren't lucky. The fire engulfed them and turned to ice.

Avatar Cultist #1: It burns!!!

Avatar Cultist #2: How? It's ice! But....

Avatar Cultist #3: Everything feels so hot!

Gray: What did you do?!

Consul U: Behold! Ice that is so cold that it burns! Now! Frostburn Make...

She brought her hands together to make a scythe made out of ice.

Moebius U: Scythe! 

She then slashed at Gray who made a shield out of ice, it blocked the attack, but the shield started to melt from its touch.

Gray: My ice...! It's melting like fire! 

Moebius U: Of course! I told you this ice is so cold it burns!

Moebius U then reeled her scythe back and broke the shield, then she slashed Gray across the chest, leaving a trail of ice around the cut. Gray yelled in pain as he clenched his chest with his hand.

Gray: Stop it, Ur! We don't have to fight!

Moebius U: Be quiet! I'm going to kill Zeref, with or without you! (hold her scythe back and went in for a blow)

Suddenly, she was hit by a fireball as Glimmer and Nikol came to Gray's aid.

Glimmer: You! You backstabbing liars! How dare you make us think that Homecoming was a good thing!

Nikol: (to Gray) Are you alright?

Gray: I... 

Glimmer then healed him with her staff.

Glimmer: He will be fine. So...... (point her staff at her) You think you can make bets on our friends and laugh at us?! We will pay you back for every fallen soldier you tricked and lied to! Nikol, are you with me?

Nikol: Yeah!

Glimmer: Good! So how do we start? I know, how about a friend who was looking forward to her Homecoming the most! This is for Aurora! (unleashed a giant fireball)

(back to Y/N)

Y/N went in for a slash across the legs of the giant hybrid monster and he connected it. But the creature felt this and swung his insect arm at him. But Lucy grabbed it with her whip and flung it away. 

Matthew delivered a punch across its face with his Ouroboros knuckles while A did a downward slash on its back. Natsu unleashed a breath attack across his chest. And Euine shot it in the legs.

Euine: This thing is really (shot a round) starting to (shot another round) ANNOY ME!!!

Happy: It's not only strong, it's tough too! Watch out!

Happy grabbed Euine and flew her away from an incoming fist. All the while Euine shot at the arm. Turning her head to Happy.

Euine: Thanks!

Matthew: Damn, how are we supposed to bring that thing down?!

A: .....Ouroboros.

Y/N: Huh?

A: We must use the power of Ouroboros to defeat it!

Y/N: Are you sure? I mean, I can achieve it, but you and the others?

A: Look. (gestures to the group fighting against the Moebius) Can't you see the gears are turning? A bond is forming?

Y/N: A bond forming?

A: I think that all this happened for a reason. Them being there. Perhaps a sign that the end of Moebius is near. Why else would they be there? 

Y/N: You're right. Okay, we'll go with that!

A: Good! (smile at him) Now it's time!

Y/N: Yeah! (his Iris glow)

Noah: Mio!

Mio: Right!

With that Noah and Mio began to glow and Interlinked with one another, soon in their Ouroboros form they jumped high into the air towards the Kimera and delivered a punch to its face, sending it to the ground.

Y/N transformed and unleashed an uppercut at its chin, sending flying in the air. He delivers a barrage of punches across its body, dealing heavy blows at it.

???: Sky Dragon Roar!

???: Water Slicer!

A tornado of air and a barrage of water in the form of slashes struck the creature in the air. Y/N turned his head to see Wendy, Carla, Juvia, Riku, and Manana.

Y/N: Wendy! Juvia!

Wendy: Are you okay Y/N?

Juvia: Darling? Is that you?

Riku: Riku is glad we've arrived in time.

Manana: Manana is glad as well!

Juvia then rushed over to Y/N and hugged his leg while pushing up her chest on it which caused him to blush.

Juvia: (smile) Oh my Darling~! It's been so lonely! My intuition told me you were in some serious trouble, so I rushed here as quickly as I possibly could. 

Y/N: (sweat drop) I wouldn't consider that trouble exactly. But how did you know where I was?

Juvia: (smile) Because of Wendy and her strong sense of smell. And now I'm here to help you! And possibly earn something from you?

Y/N: From me?

Juvia: (smile while blushing) Yes! Your child of course!

Y/N: (blush) My WHAT?!?!

Euine: (turn to Wendy) Oie! What's a child? And how does she get it?

Lucy: (blush) How could you not know about that?!

Euine: Well? I'm waiting?

Wendy: (blush) Ummm... it's complicated and hard to explain.

Euine: Well simplified! Just take the key points of it and tell me. So how does she get it?

Wendy: (blush) Uhhh.... Well... 

Y/N: (blush) Could we please focus here! (hears something and turns to it) A?! What are you doing with that chain and rusted knife?

A: (dark look) What else? To make you remember what happened last time!

Y/N: Now's not the perfect time for it!

Y/N then spotted the Kimera about to unleash his fire breath at them and grabbed A, Lucy, Euine, Wendy, Carla, and the Nopons and jumped out of the way. All while Matthew and Natsu rushed at its legs.

Y/N: (land safely) Everyone okay?

Lucy: Yeah, we're alright!

Riku: Thing is very dangerous! Makes devil a baby!

Wendy: Let's go!

Now joining the fight, she transformed into her Dragon force. Her hair and eyes turned pink. She unleashed a large hurricane like magic attack at the Kimera.

Wendy: Sky Dragon Wave Wind!

Euine: (shocked) Wow, what's with the hair color change and this immense wind power?!

Lucy: (surprised) Is that Dragon Force?

Y/N: (confused) Dragon Force? Whatever it is, makes her way more amazing than before!

Natsu: (jumped with his hand engulfed by flames) Fire Dragon Iron Fist!

His attack struck the leg and burned some of the fur on the leg, causing the Kimera to roar in pain before he kicked Natsu away. While Matthew got close to the head and began to rapidly punch it. 

Noah then created his sword from his back and slashed his two arms off, causing the devil arms to drop to the ground, while the Kimera roared in pain, before unleashing its breath attack again.

Noah then created his sword from his back and slashed his two arms off, causing the devil arms to drop to the ground, while the Kimera roared in pain, before unleashing its breath attack again.

D-6: Look out, my lord.

Alok was unfortunately (not in my opinion) hit by the attack, causing him to unfortunately (not in my opinion) to be reduced to ashes.

Mary: GRANDFATHER!!!

Consul K: (laughs) Look at them! Watching their lives flash before their eyes! It's so..... So.... (laughs heartily) SO AMUSING! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Y/N: I've had enough of this!

Y/N creates a katana made of light and dashes toward the Kimera.

Y/N: TAKE THIS, YOU LIVING FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER!!!

With that, Y/N slashed the Kimera's head clean off, shocking all those who saw it.

Consul K: (shocked) What?!?! NO!!!! Why you little fun stopper! Time to grace the field with my presence! (leaps toward them)

Y/N turned his head and saw the Consul walking toward them.

Consul K: Well! Aren't you the little fun ruiner!

Ethel: (walks next to him) Consul! 

Eunie: Ethel! Snap out of it! Look, the Consuls are not the guys we thought! They're the real bad guys!

Ethel: Disgusting...

Noah: Huh?

Ethel: The sight of you things speaking the words of man... It makes my skin crawl!

Matthew: It's no good! She's under this Consul's control!

A: So! (points the Monado Fencer at K) Let's get rid of him then!

Consul K: Ethel, deal with this trash.

K then transformed into a muscular, humanoid monster with a crested head, a pointed nose, flat teeth, a ring around his waist, and an infinity symbol positioned on his solar plexus.

Moebius K: I shall deal with the fun wrecker! It's the big bad boss! Boo!

Y/N: Just what I wanted to fight. I'm gonna put you in your place, Moebius! 

Moebius K: You can dream! But I'm quite curious! Only (point at himself) WE can do this! Transformed without another! (point at Y/N) So tell me! How are YOU doing it?

Y/N: As if I tell you!

Y/N starts charging toward Moebius K and thrust a fist at him. 

Moebius K: (blocks the attack) You won't get away with this! 

K stomped on the ground causing it to break, causing Y/N to miss him. K then shot a dark purple lightning bolt at him, hitting him, at the same time Ethel and A locked sword with one another. 

Soon both of them counter each other with their swords. Each attack stops the other. Soon, A jumped over her and using it kicked her in the back of her head, sending her tumbling away from her, Ethel used her sword to stop her and using it spun herself at A, kicking her in the gut.

A: Well..... I guess the stories I heard were true. (gets up) She is a tough one!

Noah and Mio returned to their normal forms and joined in at assisting A.

Mio: Are you alright A?

A: I'm alright! But we cannot let our guard down. Even for a second. Not while she's under the control of Moebius.

Mio: Ready?

Noah: (quietly) We can't.

Mio: But why not?

Noah: It's too powerful. We could just wind up killing her.

A: You're right. So let me handle her. (point her sword at Ethel) I know how to fight with her without dealing her a death blow.

Noah: You can?

A: Of course (smirk) Trust me. I have her unconscious in a bit. Then when Y/N's done, we can wake her up.

Noah: Alright, I trust you.

Mio: Me too.

With that A shot toward Ethel who went in with a slash from one of her rapiers, but when the attack hit, A was revealed to be a mirage.

Ethel: What?

A: (appears behind her) Behind you.

Ethel: Huh?

A then strikes her with a kick to the face, causing Ethel to slide back. Then A shot out a ball of energy from her weapon. 

A: Cross Ray!

The attack hit Ethel's head on sending flying, but Ethel used her rapiers to slow her down. But A then leaped into the air and sent a energy slash at her, but she rolled out of the way, then Ethel used an attack using her rapiers.

Ethel: Cross Impact!

Ethel leaped into the air as well and tried to use her rapiers to double hit A. But A held her hand and created a barrier which blocked it, then A grabbed Ethel's arm and sent her toward the ground. Causing her to hit the ground with a thud. While she was on the ground, A landed next to her and brought up her fist and struck her on the head, knocking her out.

A: There. All done. (sigh) She really lives up to her rep.

Moebius K saw Ethel was knocked down.

Moebius K: Ugh. She was pathetic. I'll kill them all myself.

His Iris glowed he began to communicate with Moebius S and U.

Moebius K: S. U. Fall back for now, I'll finish this right now.

Moebius S: What?! Not when I'm so close!

Moebius U: Yeah, we've got to get what we came for!

Moebius K: Don't worry, I'll get you what you guys want along with Natsu after I destroy Ouroboros and their friends. Now leave! 

Moebius S: (thinks about it for a second) Fine! But she better be in one condition! (looks at Erza) Erza! Soon you will be with me. And nothing will stop us from being together.

Erza: Wait, Simon you have to list--

Moebius S soon teleported away.

Erza: Simon...... (looks down at the ground) Why did this happen?

With Moebius U she backed away from a fireball sent by Glimmer, she looked at Gray.

Moebius U: Gray! I have to go now, but next time I see you, you will be by my side, and we will kill Zeref together! (teleports away)

Gray: Ur.....

Soon, everyone gathered as they prepared to face Moebius K. Y/N looked at him with a steady eye.

Moebius K: Time for me to get what we wanted. But first (snaps his claws) a little fresher upper!

With a yell and a flex, K draws green healing light from Colony 4's Flame Clock.

Lanz: Wha....

Eunie: His wounds Y/N gave him... They look like they're healing!

The wounds on his skin are covered in healing energy. The Colony 4 soldiers fall to the ground and writhe in agony as red motes are pulled from their bodies.

Natsu: (look at the scene before him) What? (turn to Moebius K) WHAT THE HELL YOUR DOING?!

Moebius K: I told you, I'm freshening up.

K's Iris flashes and he pulls more energy from the Flame Clock, causing it to die down. More soldiers are incapacitated.

Taion: He did it again! (realized) No way... He's stealing from the Clocks?!

Moebius: Hahahahaha! My dear boy... (coats his fist in dark lightning) Your vaunted intuition... is SHIT!!!

K punches the ground, sending rocks flying and blasting back the group with dark lighting that sparkles everywhere. Eunie and Taion keep firing away; K shrugs off the attacks.

Moebius K: I'm not "stealing" from them. I, as Moebius, have the right to do with the Flame Clocks as I please.

Mio and Lanz attack, but K draws upon the Flame Clock again and his wounds heal. The Flame Clock is now dangerously low.

Moebius K: You may hurt me as much as your hearts desire... But where there is life and vitality...!!! I'm afraid I...shall...not...fall.

Noah is standing still out of indecision. K cheekily draws his finger down Noah's sword; healing light mixes with the red motes that rise from his finger.

Moebius K: Come now. Whyyyy don't you give it your best shot... and HAVE AT ME!!! Hahahaha... If you think you can!

Noah sees Ethel writhing on the ground.

Noah: Stop attacking! Eunie! Lanz!

Eunie and Lanz do not stop attacking.

Lanz: (slashes K's leg) You must be sparkin' joking!

Eunie: (hops on and blasts K''s shoulder) If we let up now, he'll take US down!

Noah: But... our friends at Colony 4!

A mighty dark lightning punch to the ground from K sends boulders flying coated in dark lightning. Taion's Mondo push Noah out of the way of one of them.

Taion: Wake up, Noah! They're not your friends any more. They're his fuel!

Noah: Even so...!

Lucy: How can you do this?! Doesn't their lives matter to you?!

Moebius K: (laughs) Why should I gave a damn about their lives? These soldiers will nourish me... like Glitter Radishes in season.

K's wounds close, and he does a funny little walk back towards the Ferronis.

Moebius K: And we can always grow plenty more! If I need a little extra, I can pluck them whenever I want! 

A: There is a way to stop his healing and save them at the same time.

Y/N: Yes, we have to destroy the Flame Clock.

Mio: Destroy the Flame Clock?

Euine: But how?

Noah: What if we just end up killing everyone?

K is rising up to the top of the Ferronis and glowing.

Y/N: Trust me on this! If we destroy it, it will be like you guys, they will be free from it. Their lifes won't be affected by it.

Matthew: And his fresher upping will stop as well.

Natsu: (grins) Well you came to the right guild! (leaps at the Flame Clock) BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT BREAKING STUFF!!!

Lucy: (sweat drop) That's not some to be proud of.

The Ferronis's main cannon is charging. It rises up to battle position.

Moebius K: Hah. I think it's about time we entered the final act!

The cannon fires, scouring a great trail of destruction across the landscape. Noah and Mio dive out of the way, and look at the charred, lightly burning ground where the cannon fired.

Noah: All right... We'll try it! Lanz!

Lanz, Eunie, Taion, Sena, Erza, and Riku are behind a boulder.

Lanz: What's up?

Noah: Draw his attention for me!

Lanz: And then what?

Noah: I'll get in close...and destroy the Flame Clock!

Lanz: Wha- But... If you do that...

Noah: (serious) We've got to. It's the only way. On my head be it!

Lanz: (gasp) The spark are you on about? I'm not gonna let you take the fall alone!

Noah and Mio stare at him. Lanz looks back to where K is charging up to fire again.

Lanz: Nngh, snuff it. Fine! Have it your way. Get going! Eunie!

Eunie: (grinning) Cover fire? Leave it to me!

Lanz: Taion! Sena! Red! We need you too!

Glimmer and Erza: Who me?

Lanz: (annoyed) I was talking to the one with the long hair.

Glimmer and Erza: But the two of us have long red hair.

Nikol: I think he means the girl in armor.

Glimmer and Erza: Oh.... Then why didn't he say so?

Lanz: (annoyed) Oh forget it! Both of you just help us!

Taion: (taken aback for a moment, then chuckles) Understood!

Sena: Just say when, guys!

Noah: Thanks, everyone... I'll count down from three!

The group gets ready to move.

Noah: Three...two...one... Let's go!

Then suddenly the group moves out towards the Ferronis. They spread out in pairs, Noah with Mio, Eunie with Taion, Lanz with Sena, Glimmer with Nikol, A with Y/N.

Moebius K: Heh. I know what you're thinking. However...

The cannon shot rises into the sky and splits apart into bolts that rain down across the field.

Moebius K: If I keep on firing potshots... I'm bound to hit one of you sooner or later. Preferably SOONER!

Lanz and Sena stop running to block. Noah is almost hit and knocked off his feet; Mio, turning back as she notices, is similarly knocked down.

Lanz: Oh crap!

Lanz and Sena start to run over to Noah and Mio.

Lanz: NOAAAH!!!

Sena: MIMI!!!

As they reach out, Lanz and Sena's bodies glow and unravel together. They find themselves in a sea of each other's memories, as when Noah and Mio interlinked. Lanz sees and hears voices of Sena echo around the space.

Sena: You sure? I'm a nobody...

Sena: But I'm just...practicing...

Sena: Uh... Sorry.

Mio: Hey, Sena...? There's no need for this. 

Meanwhile, voices of the young Kevesi trio surround Sena: She heard someone speak

???: Watch out!

Lanz: Come on...

Lanz: They wanna take you outta the running!

Lanz: We can take care of ourselves! Just go!

Their bodies fuse into the glowing core and a new Ouroboros form, broad and deep-purple-coloured, with a glowing core in its chest. Its upper body is surrounded by concentric rings resting on its shoulders, which support two large upright turrets behind the head. Its main weapons are large gauntlets on its fists. Above it spawns a giant ether shield which fully blocks the cannon shots. 

Noah: Lanz... That form... You mean...

Sena: Hey, I'm here too!

Mio: Sena as well? So then...

Moebius K: Well, lookee here... Fooound you. 

Lightning cackle from his hand and about to attack, but Natsu appeared right in front of him.

Natsu: And I found YOU! Fire Dragon Roar!

Natsu unleashed a full head on breath attack at K who raised his forearms to block, but it still sent him a few inches away.

Natsu: How about that?!

Moebius K: You little worm!

K fires a directed, sustained blast from the main cannon at Natsu.

Moebius K: Be glad, he wants you in one piece or you would be a pile of ashes! 

The Ouroboros shields the blow and protects Natsu, but it begins to struggle with difficulty.

Lanz: That mudder...

Happy: Natsu! Are you alright?

Eunie, Glimmer, and Taion are outputting all the healing they can muster. It flows into the Ouroboros, but they still struggle.

Sena: Lanz! We can't keep this up!

Lanz: (groaning under the effort) Gotta...stick it out...

The blast continues, and the shield begins to waver.

Lanz: Was that it?

K stops firing to charge a final shot.

Moebius K: All right. Now for the coup de grâce. Get a load of this!

He fires a shot and with it the shield is shattered.

Eunie: NOAH!!! LANZ!!!

When Eunie opens her eyes, she and Taion are in the orange-glowing zone of an Interlink. Audible is the voice of an unknown woman:

???: Until the day of your Homecoming... please, just live.

???: I'd like to go back someday. To where this was taken...

???: You must! Flee for the colony!

The voice of the younger Eunie began to be heard.

Euine: I think Joran did the right thing.

Euine: We can go through here, and then we're out!"

Taion: Begging your pardon, that's idiocy. And certain death!

Taion: Ma'am! Nimue!

And with that they fuse into a core, and an intense green sphere explodes, with them at the epicenter. Soon Healing light washes over Noah, Mio, and Lanz & Sena's Ouroboros. They look over themselves and get up.

Noah: My wounds...

Lanz: They're already gone.

When the dust clears, another Ouroboros form, this one was a feminine red-and-black humanoid with a glowing core in the lower torso. Membrane-like wings sprout from its heads, standing where Eunie and Taion stood. 

They look over their new body.

Eunie: Did I... Uh... I did this?! Whoa...

Taion: (chiding) There's time for that later!

Eunie: Ah, right! Noah! Mio! Now's our chance!

Erza: (shocked) Incredible.... What is this power they wield?

Y/N: That is the power of Ouroboros. It's called Interlinking.  

Erza: Amazing.

Lucy: Whoa! Talk about having a lucky break!

Suddenly, intense black fog starts to roll over the battlefield.

Mobeius K: Wha... The fog?! This is absurd! Can't see a damn thing... Ugggh!!! Where are they?! Where?

The fog completely obscures K's Iris's vision.

Moebius K: Where have they gone? I can't see... Can't see anything!

Lanz: Hey, mudder... Catch!

Lanz & Sena's Ouroboros is suddenly on top of K and punches him down.

Moebius K: Why you little... When did you get the jump on me? Well, in that case...

K finally opens his eyes. Eunie & Taion's Ouroboros is right in front of him.

Eunie: Now you decide to open your eyes? Bad sparking shout!

It knocks K into the ground. He struggles to get up.

Moebius K: I...can't heal...!

Lanz & Sena's Ouroboros lands right on top of K and pins him to the ground.

Lanz: Now ain't that a snuffin' shame?! (turn to Noah and Mio) Go now! Do it!!!

Noah and Mio soon Interlinked with each other, and jumped high into the air towards the Flame Clock.

Noah: Mio!

They formed a blade and struck the Flame Clock with it. But It clatters off without even scratching it.

Noah: Huh?! What the?! Did that not do it?!

Mio: How is it so strong?!

Natsu: Let me try! (rushes at the Flame Clock) Time to stop ticking! (ignited both of his hands with a large sphere of fire) Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon Fist!

Natsu began charges at the Flame Clock, hitting it with a continuous barrage of punches enhanced with his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Each punch that connected to the Flame Clock produces a powerful explosion. Soon dust gathered around Natsu, when it parted it revealed that the Flame Clock was still untouched.

Natsu: (shocked) What the?! How is it still undamaged?!

Lucy: (shocked) It is still untouched! But Natsu shattered Gajeel's Iron Scales spell with that attack!

Happy: (shocked) And Phantom Lord's guild! But how?!

Moebius K: (laughs) Oh, the futility! The Flame Clock...is life itself. One might say, a coalescence of the will to live. I very much doubt it's going to break THAT easily now, is it?

Noah: Sparks... We almost had it, too...

Moebius K: Hah. A fool's errand indeed. But you know, I appreciate what you've done. For bringing your lovely selves...SO. CLOSE. UP. Because now I can look upon you in all your radiance. 

Moebius K flies up as he unleashes dark lightning at the group who avoids the lightning strike. 

Y/N: I don't think so. A, I'm gonna throw you over there and then you destroy the Flame Clock with the Monado! And I mean it's real form.

A: (shocked) Are you sure? The last time.....

Y/N: We have no choice! Just do it! 

A looked at him with uncertainty, but nods her head.

A: Alright. But I want you to get everyone clear! Got it?!

Y/N: Right! (hold out a hand) Ready?

A: Way ahead of you! (grab his hand)

Soon, Y/N threw A at the Flame Clock.

Y/N: Everyone get clear! NOW!!!

Everyone began to move away from the area.

A: (flying towards the Flame Clock) Alright you can do this! (close her eyes) Monado Fencer! (opens her eyes) Awaken Code: 06102010!

Soon the Monado Fencer began to crack over it and soon shattered with a blue flash. Then in its place, it appearing as a red object of unknown composition that vaguely resembles a single-edged sword. It has veins of blue light running along several edges, including the edge of a large circular hole near the pommel. This large hole contains a piece of invisible multi-layered glass. Soon A holds up this new weapon upward, then the shell above the hole slides open into two pieces to reveal a glowing blade of blue energy.

Moebius K: (shocked) What?! Her blade changed form!

A then stabbed her blade at the Flame Clock.

A: Monado Art: Monado Purge!!!

Soon the circle in the blade began to displace a symbol and soon afterwards caused the Flame Clock to explode with a green wave of energy.

Moebius K: (shocked) Im...impossible! The Flame Clock cannot be broken! What is this?! Who are these people?! The Flame Clock's power, utterly lost... No... But HOOOW?!?!

A: Believe it! Monado Art: Monado Buster!!!

Soon A brought up her weapon and powered it up to deliver a giant overhead slash, hitting K with a line down his body. Both K and the Ferronis fell down while A was caught by Y/N.

Y/N: Caught ya. Are you alright?

A: Yes I'm al- AHHHHHH!!! (grab her arm)

Y/N: A! Are you hurt?!

A: The.... The Monado..... The side effect...... Hurry!

Y/N: Right! Monado! Shutdown Code: 05292020!

Soon A's weapon glowed blue again and turned back to its original form, and with it, A's pain vanished. A release a breath of air in her at the relief.

Y/N: How are you feeling?

A: Better! I use too much of the power. Rapid uses of its abilities will cause my body to fall to the pain.

Noah: (canceled their Interlink) How's Ethel? Everyone OK?

Eunie and Taion canceled their Interlink and walked over to them.

Eunie: She's gonna be fine.

Taion: Seems she only lost consciousness.

Lanz and Sena soon canceled their Interlink as well. Noah turn to focuses on K, who still had the line on his body.

Noah: Right... That's good. Which means...

Glimmer: We can focus on him! (starts to go over to K)

Y/N: No worries. A's attack got him too. He's done for.

Soon after that, coming out of the line on core were purple motes and a strange black fog.

Moebius K: No... NOOOOO!!!! But...why?! How could I have failed?! I just...wanted to play around a little more! (hold out his hand) Z... Help me! NOOOOO!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIIIIIIE!!!!!!

He falls onto his back, motionless as K's body reverts back to his human form.

Lucy: What... What was that coming out of his body?

Wendy: A black fog?

Carla: That is quite strange.

Happy: And who's Z?

Y/N: The leader of Moebius, Z is his name.

Eunie: (no sympathy) Just playin' around, was he? Let's take a look at this ugly mudder's face.

Lanz: Yeah.

Lanz gets close and fiddles with his helmet.

Lanz: Stuck tight. How d'you get this thing off?

Nikol: Lanz. The back. Try the back of the helmet.

Lanz: (looks at Nikol) Alright, if you say so. (reaches for the back) Ah. Here we go!

With a click, K's helmet dissipates. His face, frozen in the fear of death, is that of an elderly man with wrinkled face, thin brown hair, and thick eyebrows with slits cut into them. He also wore dangly spade-shaped earrings. 

Lucy: What the... Is that a human man?

Erza: Wait..... I think I've seen his face before.

Gray: You have? 

Erza: Yes, sometime ago when I first joined up with Fairy Tail, the Master told me about this old mission that he took. That man was trying to use a bunch of mages to find out a solution to immortality. When he caught up to the man, he couldn't find him, all that was left was a picture of him that he kept by his side and a scorch mark that formed a circle around it.

Lanz: And you're saying that Consul is that man?

Erza: Yes. (walks over to K's body) I'm sure of it. The picture and that face are one and the same.

Taion: He's so different from us... Is this what Consuls look like?

Eunie: All wrinkled... Just like Guernica. Is this what aging's like?

Y/N: Yeah, it is.

A small distance away, Ethel gets to her feet, groaning. With that, the others turned to her.

Ethel: Ah... it's you. What happened?

???: That's what I wanted to know too!

Everyone turned and saw Gajeel, Lily, and Levy approaching them.

Wendy: (surprised) It's Gajeel!

Carla: (surprised) And Lily too!

Juvia: I don't understand.

Gray: Obviously, they work for the Council now.

Happy: It's bizarro world!

Y/N: Who are those guys?

A: (get up from Y/N grip) Probably with...

A soon lost balance as she reached for her arm again, but Y/N got her before she fell.

Y/N: A! Easy there. 

A: I'm sorry. I guess I was a bit reckless with the Monado wasn't I? I'm sorry about it.

Y/N: (smile) Don't feel sorry, you made me proud by destroying the Flame Clock and took down that Moebius. Thank you A.

A: (tired) I did?.... Good, that is a win... (fall asleep in his arms)

Mio: Is she okay?

Y/N: A's alright. She just needs rest, that Monado power took a lot out of her.

Lucy: (sees Levy) Levy!

Levy: (sees Lucy) Lucy!

Lucy: Oh, I guess the rumors were true. You're really working for the Council now.

Levy: Yeah, It's unbelievable. I'm so happy to see you!

Lucy: I miss you so much!

Levy: I know, it's the same for me!

Y/N couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of those two.

Y/N: (thought) Well those two sure are happy to see each other. It's so cute and wholesome.

Natsu: (smile) Good to see you guys.

Levy: (smile) Natsu!

Lily: Been a long time.

Gajeel: (smile) Hey there.

Natsu: Wow, you look just like Gajeel.

This earned him a growl from Gajeel in annoyance.

Gajeel: (angry) Are you trying to get under my skin already?!

Natsu: Nah man, I just thought you were too much of a rebel to work with the council.

Gajeel: (smirk) Money doesn't grow on trees, you know, but that old tree did offer me a job.

Glimmer: Old tree? Trees can talk here?

Happy: You mean old Warrod hooked you up?

Gajeel got the job from Warrod Sequen, one the four emperors of Ishgar. Now that he is part of the council, as head of the Custody Enforcement Unit.

Speaking of Warrod, we cut to his house as he was watering the plants while talking to a Rune Knight.

Warrod: Oh, that metallic young man? He's the head of the Custody Enforcement Unit now? And he joined because of the advice I gave him? (sweat drop) 

Honestly, I was only joking. 

(back to the group) 

Y/N: Somehow. Looking at you, I don't think that's what he meant.

Gajeel: That means any guild wizard has to do what I tell them. (points at Natsu) So I'm gonna be putting you under arrest, Salamander, for making that stupid ugly face! (to Lucy) And you're going down for indecency!

Lucy: (offended) Oh!

Y/N: (angry) You know I'm one second away from punching you to the moon!

Gajeel: Juvia, uh, you're too clammy!

Juvia: (confused) I am?

Y/N: (angry) No you're not!

Gajeel: Happy, you're eating way too much fish!

Happy: (muffled because of a fish in his mouth) Yummy isn't a crime ok?!

Gajeel: And Wendy Marvell, you're under arrest because... um... because reasons!

Wendy: What? But I didn't do anything!

In that moment Y/N was now really angry at Gajeel the fact that he was gonna arrest her for reasons it really made him ticked off against him. He then gave A to Matthew and walked over and smacked him on the forehead.

Levy: Oh boy... 

Lily: Not good.

Gajeel: (glares) Oh, you want me to arrest you as well?

Y/N: (glares back at him) You have no reason to arrest any of us! Not after what we did! And besides I don't like how you talked to the girls!

Y/N and Gajeel just looked at each other before the Iron Dragon Slayers started chuckling.

Gajeel: You got guts, kid. I'll give that.

Y/N: Well.. I know someone who does the same thing you do. But she's way scarier than you!

Gajeel: Does she now?

Y/N: Yeah... She once made one the toughest guy in our home, run away with a single look.

Gajeel: A single look doesn't matter. (looks at Gray) That leaves you. I shouldn't have to explain what you did, Gray. (smirk) Don't expect me to go easy on ya.

Gray: Mmm.....

Before Gajeel can do anything else, Erza comes up from behind him and hits him on the back of the head.

Lucy: (smile) Hey Erza!

Natsu: (hugs Happy, scared) Oh she's angry! 

Happy: I'm so scared Natsu!

Y/N stared at her for a moment of silence finally seeing her for the first time how gorgeous she truly looked in person and in thought gave of a simple thing in mind and that's.

Y/N: (thought) Whoa! She's just as gorgeous as Na'el, Pyra and Mythra are...

Erza: Listen up, just because you look like Gajeel, that doesn't give you the right to behave like him.

Gajeel: The hell are you saying?! I AM Gajeel!!

Erza: No way, the Gajeel I know would never work for the Council.

Gajeel: (sweat drop) Is that so?

Lily: This man is in fact the real Gajeel!

Natsu and Erza: (shocked) He is?!

Euine: (deadpan expression) Are you serious? You guys just realize that?

Ethel: Hello. May I ask what is going on here? And why are people from Agnus here?

(2 minutes later)

Y/N and Noah explained everything that happened to Ethel, Gajeel, Levy, Lily, Juvia, Gray, and Erza about Ouroboros and Moebius.

Ethel: (shocked) The war..... The war was started by the Consuls?!

Y/N: It is.

Ethel: I see... I'm so sorry. All I remember is that I was fighting against some abhorrent creatures... And you tell me it was you?

Matthew: Yeah! The Consuls can control people through the Flame Clocks, making anyone see something that's not really there. Like us in the forms of hideous monsters or making them fight people on the same side.

Ethel: I see..... And the Homecoming is?

Glimmer: A gateway to being disposed.

Ethel looks over to where K lies. Blue motes are rising off his body.

Ethel: So this is the Consul...This is how he really looks.

Y/N: Yeah. Humans with a desire to keep living.... No matter the cost. They're using the Flame Clocks to keep their lives flowing. 

Ethel: Amazing..... (grips her hand) Everything built to keep them entertained. I cannot believe it. Our whole lives are a lie.

K evaporates into blue motes.

Eunie: He's fading... just like the Homecoming.

One mote brushes against Noah's cheek, and he suddenly remembers his last words.

K: NOOOOO!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIIIIIIE!!!!!!

Noah looks up to the rising motes, then pulls out his flute and raises it to his lips. Lanz interrupts him before he can start playing.

Lanz: Nope, no way. You're not sending him on. You realize how messed up that is?

Noah: Huh? You think so?

Glimmer: I say he deserves it! For all the people, yours and ours!

Lanz: She's right! Think about the things this guy did!

Taion: He tried to kill us all, and rob the soldiers of their remaining life!

Noah: (without any tone of disagreement) You're right. Three of you are right. And Mio?

Mio: (hesitatingly) Honestly... I'm not...sure I would....

Y/N: It's your choice now.

The two of them turned to Y/N.

Y/N: Whatever the two of you decide, it's yours now.

Noah: (nods) Thank you.

Noah looks up to the motes again, then puts the flute back to his lips.

Lanz: (sarcastic) Oh, well just do it anyway! 

Erza then jabbed her arm into him.

Erza: (annoyed) Enough! That's his choice!

Noah: Just now... I felt his essence... brush past me. It felt just the same as ours. So...I feel I have to do this, y'know? 

Mio exhales, remembering the words of her brown-haired off-seeing partner.

Unknown Girl: Mio... Have you ever touched a mote of light from a Kevesi? They're the same as ours. On the other side, the people live hoping the same things as us.

Mio looks at Noah and takes out her own flute. The two begin to play, and motes from K's remains spiral into the sky.

Taion: (sigh) Well he's started now.

Lanz: Sometimes...he's just...too kind.

Sena: That or he just loves his job.

Glimmer: Well I still say he didn't deserve it.

Nikol: I'm the same, but that's not for us to decide.

Glimmer: (sigh) You're right..... I'm just mad, you know?

Nikol: Yeah, I know.

Eunie: An airhead - that's what he is. Don't think he's thinkin' about it too deeply.

Lanz: Just doing it because it's part of his nature, eh? Mmm... Weirdo.

Taion: I concur.

Sena: Mimi...

Soon the two of them finished and put their flutes away.

Noah: Sorry... You didn't have to help.

Mio: (content) It's fine. It's our duty.

Noah's face remains concerned.

Noah: I'm worried...I didn't play well.

Mio: But why? You did it expertly, just like last time.

The camera focuses on Noah's trembling hand.

Noah: I still...can't stop shaking.

Mio: (softly) Because of the Flame Clock?

Noah: Yeah... I was...terrified.

Y/N: Don't be. We knew the risk and yet everyone is still alive. (everyone turn to Y/N) Destroying the Flame Clocks are the only way to free them from the grip of the Consuls and from Z.

Sena: But who is Z? And why is he doing this?!

Y/N: As I said before, Z is the leader of Moebius. As for why, I'm afraid I don't have the answer for that. What I do know is that it involves him and his brethren to harvest Kevesi and Agnian life force, both alive or dead.

Noah: Through the Flame Clocks?

Y/N: That's right. I've heard a rumor about one of the high-rank Moebius that can do some experiments on the Flame Clocks.

Mio: So they can keep living like you said.

Y/N: Yeah.... It's not pretty. But all of them do it to keep themselves alive.

Erza and Gray were shocked hearing this, hearing that people they cared for, were stealing other people's lives from them to keep living.

Erza: Simon...

Gray: Ur...

Ethel: So, does the queen know about this?

Y/N: That... that's very hard to explain, but in a way, yes.

Ethel: (sad) I see..... (walks over to a boulder) DAMN IT!!! (breaks the boulder with her fist) 

Noah: Ethel...

Ethel: So many lives lost! And the queen expected us to keep the Consuls living?! How... How could she do that to us?! To Agnus and Keves!

In time, the Colony 4 soldiers rouse themselves, including Bolearis. He notices Ethel with the group.

Bolearis: Commander!

He runs over with the nearby troops, then suddenly notices the Agnian company.

Bolearis: (shocked) You're Agnus!

Bolearis and the troops draw their Blades. The Agnians prepare for trouble.

Ethel: Enough!

Bolearis: What? Commander?

Ethel: Too many lives have been lost in this pointless war, Bolearis! Tell the troops something! 

Bolearis: What is it?

Ethel: (turns to him with a serious look) The truth!

As Ethel explains the situation, the Magic Council finishes rounding up and arresting the remaining members of Avatar.

Abel: Let me go now!

D-6: Well this is embarrassing.

Mary: I'm so bumped.

Jerome: (tries to break free)

Briar: This is my worst nightmare.

Erza: As I'm sure you can tell, we were ultimately able to bring Avatar's purification plan to a halt. But I can't take the credit.

Gajeel: I know who to thank. It was clear when we stormed their hideout.

(Flashback)

In a flashback as Gajeel and Panther Lily are searching Avatar's hideout out they can't find anyone until they check the dungeon.

Lily: Doesn't look like anybody's here.

Gajeel: Check this out.

They soon found the crater Y/N made and in it was a frozen Gomon with a note tied around his neck.

Note: The Ultimate Elimination will be held in Malba.

Lily: This looks a lot like Gray's magic.

Gajeel: Sure does.

(Flashback ended)

Lily: We never would have been able to find this place without your help, Gray. Thank you.

Gray: No problem, but I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused. I know it was a pain.

Y/N: (fake cough) Are you forgetting something? About a simple apology to (points at Juvia) her?

Gray: Oh right. I'm sorry Juvia for what I did to you half a year ago.

Juvia: (smiles) It's alright, Gray. Besides, (pulls Y/N into her chest) I found my Darling because of it!

Y/N: (blush) Huh? Darling?! (gets pull even deeper into her chest)

Levy: Not gonna lie, you had me fooled.

Gray: I wish I could say the same for you, but you gotta do some work on your disguises.

Levy: Oh, you knew that was me?

Wendy: I'm lost, I have no idea what they're talking about.

Carla: And where did Erza come from?

Lucy: I'll explain later. (looks at Y/N and Juvia with a jealous face)

Juvia: Oh my Darling! We must prepare at once!

Y/N: Prepare for what?

Juvia: (blush and put her hands on his cheeks) For the babies, of course! All 33 of them!

Y/N: The hell?! Why do you need that many for?!

???: Y/N? What are you doing?!

Y/N suddenly felt a shiver as A was behind them with a dark aura. 

A: (dark tone) What did she say? A baby?! (hold up her Monado Fencer) Do you need to remember what I did to Na'el and Nia?! (grips her sword very tight) DO YOU?!?!

Y/N: A, wait a second!

Juvia: Darling? (turns to Y/N with a dark look on her face) Who are Na'el and Nia?! Do they have your baby? If so (tighten her grip on him) tell me!

Y/N: (realize something important) I'm dead ain't I?

Matthew: (sweat drop) Pretty much. 

Y/N: Yup.... I knew it. I should tried to run, shouldn't I? (runs off) RUN AWAY!!!

A: (angry) Y/N COME BACK HERE AND FACE MY WRATH!!!!

Y/N: I DON'T WANNA DIE BY YOU!!!

Juvia: (angry) DARLING!!! GIVE ME YOUR BABIES!!!!

Y/N: YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!

A and Juvia: (angry) COME BACK HERE!!!!

Everyone watched as Y/N ran away from both A's wrath and Juvia wanting his babies.

Lucy: (thoughts, jealous) No fair! Who does she think she is wanting Y/N's child?!

Wendy: (thoughts, jealous) I want to be the one to have his kids!

Mio: Should we try and help him?

Matthew: (afraid) Trust me! You don't want to face A's wrath. I've seen what she can do, and that was a dark day!

Taion: If you say so.

Sena: Poor Y/N, I feel bad for him.

Euine: (annoyed) Okay, what's a baby and how do you get it?!

Gray: That's your question?

Sena: I want to know too! How do you get one?

Levy: (blush) Uh... that's a personal topic. 

Euine: (annoyed) Seriously?! Why do you say that?! (points to Wendy as Y/N passed by with A and Juvia on his tail) She said the same thing!

Wendy: (blush) It's not something to discuss in front of other people!

Mio: I have to say, all this talk is getting me curious too.

Glimmer: Same here. How do you get one?

Gajeel: These guys are so clueless.

Natsu: Yeah, I agree with you there.

Happy: What should we do?

Y/N: DO SOMETHING TO HELP ME!!!

A: COME BACK HERE!!!!

Juvia: DARLING?! GIVE ME YOUR BABIES!!!

Y/N: STOP MAKING IT WORSE FOR ME!!!!

Erza: (sigh) I guess I'll teach them everything we know.

Lucy and Levy: NO!!!!

Virgo: (pops up while Y/N passed by her with A and Juvia still on his tail) I can tell them instead if you want.

Lucy and Levy: NO!!! NOT YOU EITHER!!!

Erza: Oh, why don't you two tell them? 

Lucy: We will, but not here!

Levy: Especially in front of the boys!

Lanz: Oie! What's the problem with us, huh?!

Nikol: I think it's something for the girls only, Lanz.

Lanz: And who makes up that rule?! We took baths and showers with Eunie, and you don't see her complaining about it!

Lucy: (blush) Trust me. He's right about it being only for girls. Well sort of....

Taion: You people are much stranger than we thought. 

Y/N: (crying) CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!?!

Noah: Are you sure we shouldn't just help him? He looks so desperate.

Matthew: Trust me, A is terrifying like this.....

A: (angry) COME HERE!!!

Matthew: So you better let her do this.

Noah: If you say so...

???: FOUND YOU GUYS!!! OIE! Why's A chasing Y/N again?

Y/N: (stops) Huh? That voice...

???: What forgot me? I swear, I don't know who has it worse! You or Matt!

Everyone turned to see a young Gormotti girl with a neck-length silver hair styled into a bob cut with matching feline ears on top of her head. She had amber eyes, three white stripe tattoos on her face, and elongated canine teeth. She was quite short and had a petite frame. She had on a feline-hooded yellow one-piece jumpsuit with gold-trimmed white armor plates around her chest and upper arms, and wore a brown utility belt around her hips with three daggers. She wore red and white heeled boots which come up at the top into large decorated white and black cones, which extend past her knees around the front and around her calves from the back.

Besides her was a blue-eyed white tiger. He had a crystal that was shaped like a claw or a fang. He wore armor pieces over his chest and wrists.

Tiger: My lady, please don't start again.

Y/N: NIA?!?! DROMARCH?!?! What are you t- (A and Juvia crash into him, sending all three to the ground) doing here.....

Nia: (annoyed) Well, here I was worried about the three of you and here you are playing around with A and (gestures to Juvia) some weird girl chasing you around like you're a headless chicken!

Y/N: (annoyed) Excuse me! It's not like I wanted to be chased around!

Nia: Say that after you removed your hands from their chest!

Y/N: My hands? Their chest? (look at his hands) AHHHH!

Juvia: (blush) Darling~! You're so bold!

A: (blush) I-I never thought you would do such a thing.

Y/N's hands were right on their breasts. Both of his hands were holding one of their breasts in each palm.

Juvia: (blush) Darling~! Please do whatever you want with your hand~!

Lucy and Wendy started to have a dark aura as Lucy was still in her cowgirl outfit and the whip in her hand while Wendy was right next to her entered Dragon Force.

Lucy: (crack her whip) I feel like hurting Y/N for this.

Y/N: Wait, NOOOOOO!!!!!!

Chapter 7 ended. 

That was the longest chapter so far, but it was worth the effort. The Avatar Arc is complete, if you guys have any ideas for the next chapter let me know. Peace out and enjoy!
