Jack woke up the next day for the last day of grand magic games, he also came to find out that the two teams had been merged into one.
Of course, he knew of it beforehand, but the surprise came when he was asked to be part of the rescue team while Jean was asked to be part of the fairy tail team that was responsible for the tournament or grand magic games.
"So we will work on rescuing Lucy from what, the kingdom of Fiore," Jack asked as he was surrounded by the whole guild.
"Yes, we in Fairy tail never leave our family behind," Makarov nodded while Mavis smiled behind him in acknowledgment.
"Even if you might have to fight against a whole kingdom for it?!" Jack asked with a mock.
"Even if we have to fight a whole kingdom….because she is family."
"Alright I will help, since I am a part of the Fairy tail as well, am I not Makarov?"
"Haha! Of course you are, although knowing you are a century or so old dragon, I can't really call you a child, haha."
Just like that the two teams split apart as they headed for their own objectives.
Jack headed with the team responsible for rescuing Lucy, Jack proceeded to help the group when they needed to go into the palace undetected.
It was rather easy for him to do so with his countless spells, after walking around quietly for a while, with Jack taping Natsu's mouth so that the guy doesn't ruin it for everyone.
They finally arrive at the prison cells and locate both Lucy and Yukino who were talking about the supposed eclipse plan.
Natsu who was now freed from the tapes burned the bars and freed lucy and just as they were about to go forward, the ground beneath them opens up swallowing everyone, ofcourse Jack could just as easily fly back up along with everyone but he wanted to open the eclipse doors himself.
So he did the next best thing, he did a superhero landing while everyone fell on their butts in what was the abyss palace as told by the Princess Hisui.
I quickly scanned the so called abyss palace, just a fancy name for a dungeon prison or whatever.
After the monologue from the princess, we started moving so that we could escape from this place, the dungeon was divided into a bundle of caves and a lava pit as well.
I knew Carla might be able to help us find a way through but decided to clear up a much better path so that we could move easily.
It wasn't long before I led them all to where the guy named Arcadios was, I remember the guy use to keep acting as a bad guy to cover for Princess Hisui who was in turn being manipulated by one Sting from Sabertooth, the guy from the future, I remember him having both dragon slayer magic.
"Ugh!! You guys need to leave here fast! Run," The Knight barely spoke.
Wendy quickly cast a healing spell on him to help him recover, as expected the Garou knights found us soon after, though unlike in the original, I made quick work of them and we were safely able to escape the place.
"Let's go! We don't have all day," I shouted as I opened up a path to the castle,
"Alright! Teach me that move!" Naruto asked or more like pestered me like a bug, the move he was talking about was the dragon shot move that I used to beat Jura.
"Sigh, I already told you Natsu, your and my magic is largely different, you can't possibly learn that move," I admonished the guy for the umpteenth time as we walked through the palace.
——————-
On the other side, Princess Hisui was being questioned by Darton who had found out the whole secret of the eclipse plan and the princess convinced him of the upcoming doom of the kingdom.
According to her, depending on how the grand magic games went, they would be invaded by a ten thousand dragons on the final day of the grand magic games which was actually just some manipulation on the part of Sting from the future.
————————
As Jack and the others were resting they came across a hooded figure, the person was easily recognised by Natsu, everyone was shocked to see Lucy from the future.
Arcodios also got to hear about the Eclipse machine and had several questions in his mind about what was truly happening.
The story was slowly unraveling and everything was finally setting in its place.
The Eclipse gate would open once again.
