Laxus : In fact now that i think of it, we got trained under his knowledge by his aura refining out potency and bodies only a few times...
Laxus : While they were doing that almost every day...
Laxus : Previously none of them could beat me even if i didn't use that... With that, i was twice as strong... After those sneak training, i got from him...
Laxus : I can say that i'm 4 times stronger in my normal state... and twice that in my other...
Laxus : Exactly how strong did they become??
Laxus : Wouldn't you agreed Mystogan??
Mystogan : The fact that you are considering this now is truly an error on your part...
Laxus : Well no matter they couldn't beat me before and nothing is going to change now...
Mystogan : Your perception of powering up is always so wrong...
Mystogan : It is for this reason that your body was frail when you were a kid...
Laxus : Huh?? Say that again...
Mystogan : There is no need to i became perfectly clear...
Laxus : I see, then i guess someone who is not even a mage and is relying on staffs to fight sure has a different perception than me...
Mystogan : You... How do you know that.....
Laxus : I had seen your face before... However, i had doubts when Ryouji covered for you... Truth is i thought you were Jellal as well...
Laxus : But after Freed set up a few runes around here and there they were made for mages... But you as you don't have magic...
Mystogan : I came here easily...
Laxus : That's right...
Mystogan : Then let's get it done with... I really don't want to stay here for long...
Laxus : Yeah we should but before that, we have to spice things up...
Laxus snapped his fingers and more than 300 orbs started flying in the air shocking everyone who could see them...
He made a thought projection towards where Makarov is and stated that the Thunder Palace has been activated... They now have 1 hour and 10 minutes left...
Before Makarov and Natsu could lush their anger on him they saw the board change and 3 fights were validated to have started...
Lucy vs Bickslow...
Mira vs Freed...
Laxus vs Mystogan...
Makarov : Laxus what have you done...
Makarov : That's, that's, the Thunder Palace..... will... Unngg.....
Natsu : Old Man....
Ryouji : Old man calm down... You wish to have a heart attack??
Ryouji : You raised the current children of the Guild so have faith in them...
Ryouji : There is still, Ur, Cana, Lisanna Levy, Natsu and Gajeel... Erza is more than enough to take care of the Lacrima's who are suspended in the air...
Ryouji : If all things fail, and Laxu is truly dead set on destroying the whole Magnolia i will intervene as i never promised him i wouldn't do that...
Ryouji : So calm down and have a drink... Even better look there are many dancers here, distract yourself from what is going on...
A few moments earlier Cana Alberona and met up with Juvia Lockser and head out to look for Laxus while Lucy tried evacuate townspeople.
Lucy walked around town deciding how to evacuate the townspeople. There were a few times that she argued that telling the people the truth about the lacrima would cause chaos and panic.
While Lucy tries to figure out what she's supposed to do, she was ambushed by wooden totems. They explode and Lucy was almost caught up in them but managed to pull away from there by diving away in the road...
Lucy lifted her head to a rooftop and she saw Bickslow standing on the rooftop of an adjacent building.
Bickslow : Oh?? You are the newbie i've heard of and Maybe a Cosplay Maniac Baby!!!!
