“He’s uncontrollable!”, Gildarts admitted. So far even with Laxus and him combined, they can’t stop Reimonbeth. Every time they try closing the portal, it just explodes back and spouts more wizards as time flies.

Fairy Tail and some other wizards who came as reinforcements were brought together into a circle at the center of the wide field. The river temporarily stopped running from all the destruction happening.

“NATSU! We might need some of your help in here!”, Laxus shouted.

“I’m a little busy at the moment!”, Natsu shouted back.

Lisanna, Cana, Romeo, Evergreen, Mirajane, Elfman, Ichiya, Hibiki, Froch, Hector, Levy, Rufus, Bixlow, Juvia, and Milliana already reached their limits. Wendy is busy trying to heal some of them while Freed drew some runes to help the barriers set by Tetsuya. Natsu, Gajeel, Sting, Lucy, and the others who can still fight are doing their best to defend the injured.

“We really need some help in here Natsu!”, Gildarts sweated out when he can’t control the large portal and the numbers so wizards coming out.

“We can’t even lay a hand on him. He’s too secured!”, Laxus fought with Tenma. Tenma himself was a tough one to beat. “I hate to admit it but we really need you here!”, Laxus shouted again. He’s in par with Laxus in strength and magic.

“Natsu-san, you have to go!”, Wendy urged him.

“But….”, said Natsu.

“They need you in there”, Gajeel said.

“We can handle these guys”, Erza seconded.

“Leave them to us. You can do more in there than in here”, Gray said with a stance of creating Ice magic. The others smiled at him as encouragement.

“Are you sure?”, Natsu asked again.

“Yeah. Take care”, Lucy smiled at him despite her weariness.

“Go now Salamander. I’ll take care of her”, Sting teased with a pat on Lucy’s head. Lucy blushed at the gesture.

“Shut up. Just focus on these guys”, Natsu grinned. “Happy!”, with that, he floated away from the group with Happy.

“Tetsu……thank you”, Reina cried.

“Reina, I know you’re worried but if there’s a time for Elizabeth to use her magic it’s now. We can’t hide it forever. Sooner or later, the Lacrima will wear out its effectiveness and Elizabeth might be in greater danger by then”, Lucy exclaimed.

“Reina please….”, Elizabeth looked her with eyes as if she was begging her life from her.

Reina, seeing her sister look at her that way, can’t help but surrender. “Rrrgh. Don’t die on me you hear! Promise me once you feel something is wrong you’ll stop!”

“Yes!”, Elizabeth smiled at her.

Reina focused and concentrated as her hand reached to Elizabeth’s chest. It stopped for a second then it passed through.

“Ah…AHHH!”, Elizabeth groaned in pain as Reina didn’t stop until she pulled her hand back and showed a crystal ball the size of a golf ball out.

“It’s done”, she said. Elizabeth nodded.

“Can you let us borrow some of your flying friends?”, Elizabeth asked Wendy and Gajeel. Wendy and Gajeel looked at each other for a moment before looking back at them. Elizabeth considered the Exceeds as their flying friends rather than the term she used before as “cats”.

“Sure”, they replied. Charle and Lily went willingly to their side.

“ORYAAA!”, Natsu literally crashed himself to the portal with his ignited flames exploding on it. “Let’s just roast everyone up who comes out in here”, Natsu grinned.

“Aye!”, Happy chanted.

Gildarts crumbled some rocks from above them and let it slide down to the portal. Natsu leapt away from it but it wasn’t enough to stop the wizards coming out and fighting them.

“Dragon Slayer’s Secret Art……Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade!”, Natsu used his secret slaying magic. It exploded as it reaches the entrance of the portal, burning everyone coming out from it. “Darn, these guys sure are stubborn”, he wiped his sweat off.

“We can’t let them out….our friends are struggling so hard already”, Gildarts groaned.

“Roar of the……FIRE DRAGON!”, Natsu roared and pushed the wizards on the portal’s opening back inside. “If we can’t stop the portal, let’s just push everyone back in there!”, Natsu grinned.

“Sometimes your stupidity makes sense”, Gildarts smiled as he followed Natsu’s humour.

____________________________________________________________

“You’re really annoying!”, Laxus angrily said.

“Likewise”, Tenma smirked. They were battling for a while now and neither one of them is showing exhaustion.

“Roar of the…..LIGHTNING DRAGON!”, Laxus roared. Lighting flashed on different angles. Tenma was hit critically but his wounds were healing up as time passes.

“That’s not enough to stop me”, Tenma grinned.

“I had enough of this!”, Reimonbeth, Advent Ghoul’s Master, announced. With that, the portal closed and all the wizards that came out dropped to the ground. Hotaru and the rest of Advent Ghoul members slumped helplessly as well. Freed’s runes vanished. Wendy fainted together with Kagura, Lyon, and some of Elizabeth and Reina’s escorts. The others are conscious but they struggled to stay standing with the little magic they have left.

“Master……what are you….”, Tenma groaned. Laxus kneeled to the ground as well.

“He’s sucking….our magic”, Gildarts said. “And everyone else’s”

“What?”, Natsu groaned. He looked angrily at Reimonbeth. “HEY! Aren’t they your comrades?! Why are you.....”

“They’re willing to be used for this purpose”, Reimonbeth eyed him with a smirk.

“I can’t believe he’s as ruthless as that”, Erza was running empty as well.

“All of you will crumble and tremble with fear!”, Reimonbeth angrily said.

“I don’t think so”, Reina announced as she appears in front of him held by Charle before landing to the ground. “This is where you’ll stop”, Reina said.

“Hah! As if you can stop me! You alone cannot stop me!”, Reimonbeth battled with energy and magic sucking with Reina. Reina is using Mimic magic to counter his own.

“You’re right I can’t do it alone”, Reina said. Suddenly, Reimonbeth felt something is wrong. His powers were negating rapidly; too rapidly that his body turned rigid to the point that he can’t move at all. His magic stopped. That’s when he realized Reina wasn’t the one doing it. He scanned the area but all he saw are wizards unconscious and some were kneeling down with exhaustion. Then, he noticed someone is missing from the group.

“Thanks to you, I realized how much of an idiot I have been!”, Elizabeth’s voice echoed from above. Reimonbeth saw Elizabeth, being held by Lily safely in the air.

“It can’t be! I thought you’re not a wizard!”, Reimonbeth exclaimed.

“That’s what we made everybody think all these years”, Reina said.

Elizabeth and Reina focused their magic on him. Elizabeth stopped his movements and magic while Reina sucked his power out little by little. Reimonbeth eyed them angrily, then, behind the two girls’ backs, he saw an image of Reliza fighting with them. Her eyes filled with worry and guilt as it looks towards him.

“Big...sister…..”, Reimonbeth’s eyes widened. Suddenly, he turned serious. “You’re not the only one who can use that magic!”, Reimonbeth shouted and used the same magic on Elizabeth. Elizabeth, had troubles in breathing. Lily landed her safely on the ground but Elizabeth was squirming for air.

“Elizabeth!”, Reina shouted out.

“I will manage to kill at least one of you”, Reimonbeth groaned. The magic he’s using on Elizabeth must be doing something hard on him.

“You idiot!”, Reina angrily aimed for his throat. “Using that magic will kill you too!”

“Both of you, looks just like her. That’s why I will kill you both!”, Reimonbeth angrily shouted out. Reina stopped him with everything she got just to stop him from killing Elizabeth. It’s ironic that she has the same power as Reliza and I. It would kill her eventually, why not save the time of suffering right?”, Reimonbeth smiled. “If I die then she’ll die together with me”

“Do you really think that’s what Mother wants?”, Reina angrily told him. “You don’t know a single thing of how Mother feels! She was worried about you! Do you really want to die?!”

“Isn’t that what will happen eventually? At some point in time, using that magic will kill her too. I will never forgive that bastard Father of yours; I will never forgive him for killing Reliza! I will never forgive Reliza!”, Reimonbeth said.

“Is that because she left you when she married my Father?! That’s it right?! You’re wrong. Father didn’t kill her at all, you’re the reason she died!”, Reina shouted. “You know it too! The real reason behind her death! You caused her to reach her limits!”, Reina cried out. Reimonbeth’s eyes widened. Elizabeth, regained her normal breathing by then, she looked surprised as well.

With what Reina shouted out, he remembered what happened years ago.....

Flashback

“Big sister, you can’t be serious by that!”, Reimonbeth tried to stop Reliza from marrying Maru Callimar.

“Rei-chan, I love him. You knew we can’t always be together”, Reliza said.

“But you promised you’ll never leave me!”, Reimonbeth stubbornly said.

“I won’t leave you. You’re already old enough. I’m just going to be married to him”, Reliza said calmly.

“Isn’t that the same?! If you married him, you’ll forget about me! I won’t hand you over to a guy like him!”, Reimonbeth angrily said and dashed off.

A few years later, he appeared one night on Reliza and Maru’s room. He saw a little girl probably around 7 sleeping soundly asleep.

“That’s your niece. She’s Reina”, Reliza suddenly said. The light opened inside the room and showed herself in a robe. “I missed you Rei-chan…”, she cried.

“I hate you….”, out of hatred and anger, he said those words without hesitation.

“I know.…I’m sorry Rei-chan…will you forgive me?”, Reliza asked with sincerity in his eyes. “You know I will always love you right?”

“No. I can’t....I won’t forgive you!”, he shrieked. Maru opened the door and went inside.

“Reimonbeth?”, Maru looked at him with surprise.

 “You!!!!”, Reimonbeth, seeing the man who took his sister away from him, acted out of impulse and used his magic on him.

“Rei-chan don’t do it!”, Reliza warned. Reimonbeth’s magic exploded.
