"Kyaaaah!!!", the girls shouted out.

"AHHH!!!", all men shouted out.

"What the?!", all participants fighting underground were surprised when rubbles after rubble rained down on them.

"What is the meaning of this, Liz?", a man asked when it stopped.

"My deepest apologies, Masters, I'm merely disposing of the enemies", Liz bowed down to eight men in front of her.

"Are you guys alright?",, Jura asked. He was only able to protect Erza, Cana, and Mirajane from danger. Sting, Bacchus, Jellal and Laxus practically managed on their own. The others were buried but were protected with Jura's magic including wizards from Galion Alliance; however, they won't be able to come out unless Jura remove it himself. They would have to continue fighting if they so want to.

"That's good, we're bored fighting such wimps from official guilds", the other Master said.

"What....", Jellal and the others were surprised when they saw many bodies of their comrades from different guilds lying unconscious. Some were already dead.

"This many with just three of them", Mirajane gasped.

"We're Masters. Do not take us too lightly pathetic wizards!", the other one launched an attack on them.

"Liz, where's the sacrifice?", the first one asked.

"I transported her to Master Ender. I had to focus my magic to make it possible", Liz replied.

"Good, has the plan succeeded?", the second one asked.

"No, we were interrupted before it was accomplished", Liz bit her lip.

"As long as she was taken to Master Ender, we'll be fine", the third one said as he continued his attacks. Erza and the others can't even do anything to get near them.

"What about Helga?", the second looked around to check.

"Helga-sama......was defeated", Liz said.

"They managed to shut Helga up? This wizards can't be taken too lightly after all", the first one laughed.

Suddenly, knives and spears rained towards the Masters and Liz together with rubbles.

"Looks like we're aiming for the second floor, but we ended up falling underground", Arthur showed himself together with Sarina and the others.

"Jurener-dono!", Jura recognized.

"Let us join your fun", he replied.

"A noble?", Liz comprehended.

"Wizards", Arthur glared as he corrected her and at his signal, Tidus and Sarina aimed to them again.

"Hey onee-san", Bacchus set Cana to the ground. "Can you fight that woman who made us fall?", Bacchus asked.

"I can try", Cana readied her cards.

"I'll cover for you as long as I am able to, you still have to be on your guard", Bacchus smirked at her.

"Let me aid both of you. I owe her a whipping", Mirajane transformed to her sitri form.

"Erza and I will be handling the man at the center", Jellal pointed.

"I'll assist you", Yukino said.

"Laxus-dono, Arthur-sama and I will handle the one who's attacking us before", Jura said. Laxus grinned and readied himself.

"Haha, a little more and I could have had you foot", Sheol missed his foot by an inch.

"Tch", Gildarts gritted his teeth.

The walls exploded with rubbles crumbling near where Sheol and Gildarts are. Due to the impact, they have to let go of each other to avoid getting hit any further.

"Oops, I went too far", Bacchus smirked.

"I'll say!", Cana angrily shouted out.

"Cana...", Gildarts uttered out as soon as he saw his daughter.

"What the....Dad?", Cana was surprised too but she was relieved that he's alright.

"What is the meaning of this, Liz?", Sheol asked.

"My apologies, Milady. The headquarters is starting to crumble to pieces with all the wizards of official guilds intercepting with our plan", Liz explained.

"Where's the offering?", Sheol asked.

"Already taken care of", Liz said.

"I'll kill all of them", Sheol aimed for Cana this time.

"Cana, be careful with her hands! It's acid!", Gildarts warned as he tried his best to get to her.

"Hiyaaaah!", Bacchus made Sheol's hands miss Cana's face by using his gourd to punch Sheol away from her.

"Always getting in the way", Sheol spitted the blood from her mouth.

"I will have to be busy, onee-san. You will have to protect yourself", Bacchus said and readied again. He completely disposed of his gourd when it started to melt like butter.

"Sheol-sama!", Liz fought with Bacchus to avenge her master.

"Cana, are you okay?", Gildarts asked.

"Yes, that surprised me", Cana was on her feet once again and readied herself.

"Now you've really pissed me off", Sheol started to leak out of dark aura. Gildarts readied himself as he stood protectively of his daughter.

"I don't like what I sense from her", Cana mumbled.

"Now you've done it", Liz smirked.

"I wasn't a head master for nothing", Sheol glared at them. She looked at Bacchus and instantly, he can't stand upright.

"What the....", Bacchus sweated hard as he steadied himself.

"What happened?", Gildarts asked.

"I can't feel my legs", Bacchus said.

"Haha, foolish wizards, Sheol-sama's power is a two edged blade. Once she's serious, she can paralyze a part of the body that is used simultaneously. As for you, drunken falcon, you're using your legs too much for fighting", Liz made Bacchus completely lose his balance.

"Why you.....", Cana readied her cards. "Summoned lightning!", she summoned lightning with the combination of cards she used and Liz didn't saw that one coming.

"What...what is with that?", Liz looked at her.

"Don't underestimate wizards of Ballam Alliance", Cana eyed her angrily.

"With that amount of power, you won't....", Liz wasn't able to finish her sentence.

"Jolt of Fate!", Cana made lightning strike to all the place dodging Bacchus and her father. Sheol just dodged it without problems.

"Done already? Liz, you're so much weaker than what I imagined", Sheol softly said. "I have to hand it to you, girly. You were able to stop a sub-master"

"I can take on one step further", Cana readied her new set of cards.

Sheol instantly widened her eyes focusing on something. A wave is suddenly heading towards Cana and she was swept twenty feet away and crashed on the walls.

"You will instantly die on my hands", Sheol made a dagger-like acid with her hands and shoved it to Cana.

"Cana!", Bacchus shouted out of worry. Cana shut her eyes as she waits for the impact but it never came. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gildarts in front of her, shattering the dagger down.

"I won't let you lay even an ounce of danger on my daughter. From this point on, I'm your opponent", GIldarts' veins are showing on his forehead due to anger. "Your head is mine"

"Fa...ther...", Cana cried in tears as she tried to stand up.

"Stand down", Gildarts said as he made a protective stance.

Cana nodded and stayed where she is. And then, the fight began.

Natsu opened his eyes weakly as he tried to adjust his visions to the darkness that creeps in.

"Where.....", he instantly sit up holding whatever he has in his arms. He saw Lucy in his arms who is unconscious with everything they did to her. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Natsu....", he heard a familiar voice.

He saw Master Makarov standing in his enlarged form, protecting them from a big wall which is about to crush them.

"Master!", Natsu stood up, still holding Lucy in his arms.

"No matter what happens don't let her go", Master Makarov said.

Natsu felt fear enveloping his body. He sensed a sinister aura behind the walls. When Master Makarov shoved it away, he saw a man sitting on a chair with rocks floating and circling him.

"I see you delivered our key to me", the man smirked. He saw the keys on Natsu's waist. "And you brought the medium. Good. I will end this soon"
