Lucy wakes up and discovers that Virgo has given her and Natsu new clothes to wear from the Celestial Spirit world. Virgo disappears afterwards, returning to the Spirit Word. Lucy realizes that she lost all her magic power. Suddenly, Sherry comes out of the forest towards them. "I found you, Fairy Tail wizards..." Sherry mumbled. Lucy looks at her in confusion as Sherry chuckled, using her Magic to attack them. In a split second, water blocks the attack.
"You idiot!" Aira yelled, grabbing Sherry from behind. "You guys safe?"
"Let me go! Damn you! I'm getting revenge for Lyon-sama!" Sherry demanded, yelling at Aira.
"While I was searching for you guys, I found her attacking Gray. She was acting weird after I released Gray from her attack. Saying about revenge and stuff." Aira explained.
"You were acting pretty weird before too!" Natsu angrily said. Aira raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Natsu, that was a fake..." Lucy commented.
"I won't forgive Fairy Tail! Revenge for Lyon-sama!" Sherry struggled under Aira.
"Revenge for who exactly?" A figure approached them. They looked at the figure who ended up being Lyon with Racer in his hand and Gray standing next to him. "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
"Lyon-sama?" Sherry looked at him in relief.
"He's a stubborn one." Gray said.
"Well, it was pretty close... The guy's bomb lacrima was more powerful than I thought. It took a long time before I was able to move again." Lyon explained.
"Yup, he's stubborn all right." Lucy commented.
"Well, I'm not as stubborn as this guy." Lyon said, referring to Natsu.
"Say what?!" Natsu yelled.
"You jump down his throat for that?" Lucy questioned.
Sherry cried tears of joy, resting her body on the ground. "Thank... goodness..." The darkness lifted from her.
"What's this?" Natsu asked.
"As I thought, she was taken over by something..." Gray said.
"That's Nirvana..." Lucy added on.
"The black pillar has turned white!" Carla and Wendy stared at the magic pillar.
"I wonder what's happening?" Wendy mumbled.
Happy struggles to get Hibiki out of the water. "Hibiki, wake up already! I hope everyone is okay... Natsu... Erza..."
Cobra emerged from the shadows, revealing himself to Jellal and Erza. He demands to know how Jellal knew of Nirvana's location and why he released the seal. Jellal reveals that he dimly remembered it when he heard the voices of those who want Nirvana for themselves. He continues to explain that it is a magic that can't fall into anyone's hands and reveals that he has released the seal in order to destroy it. A Magic Circle then appears on Nirvana, a Self-Destruction spell, that Cobra can't deactivate. A smaller circle also appears on Jellal as he plans to destroy Nirvana along with himself in order to free Erza from her sadness and hate.
Erza scolded Jellal for resorting to such methods and tells him that he can't possibly be at peace and that he still has sins to repent for. She cries and tells him to live, but it seems Jellal would not budge. However, his Self-Destruction spell is stopped by Brain, who turns out to have been the one who taught Jellal that type of Magic.
Erza tries to attack Brain but he already ordered Nirvana to awake, causing the ground to crumble.
"We were too late?" Lyon watched Nirvana's light transformation as he carried Sherry.
"What the...?!" Natsu exclaimed.
"That's..." Aira mumbled.
"I-I think we're in trouble..." Lucy added.
"Damn it! Erza was inside that light!" Aira informed.
"Oh, no!" Lucy yelled, worried for Erza.
"I never smelled anything so dangerous as this!" Natsu commented.
Hoteye uses his magic to oversee the future. He sees something huge coming their way. Hoteye and Jura watch Nirvana transform.
"What in the world is this?! I don't get it!" Natsu yelled.
"It's coming out of the ground around here!" Gray stated.
"So this is what Nirvana is?!" Lucy said.
"Can you even call it "magic" at this point?" Lyon questioned.
The ground shook underneath them. "Whoa, the ground's shaking...!" Natsu pointed out.
"Does anyone else hear cracking?" Aira asked.
"I have a really, really bad feeling about this..." Lucy said.
"No kidding." Lyon stated.
"I called it!" Lucy shrieked as one of Nirvana's legs rises above them, taking them into the sky.
One of the legs sent Wendy flying away, but Carla catches her on time. They fly near the ancient city and realize Nirvana's true form.
Erza and Jellal manage to survive as the city uproots off of the ground. Erza helps Jellal up, sitting on top of Nirvana. Jellal feels hopeless that he wasn't able to stop Nirvana, but Erza takes a look at Natsu, Aira, and Lucy running up the leg.
"Go, Fairy Tail..." Lyon said, watching them run with Gray standing beside him.
Jura is accompanied by Hoteye as they climb one of Nirvana's legs in order to stop the Oracion Seis.
"We'll run up these and then bust up the main body!" Natsu yelled.
"By the way, this has been bugging me, why are you guys in matching outfits?" Aira asked.
"Don't ask me!" Lucy replied, yelling at him.
Together they decide to travel forward with Jellal having newfound hope and encouragement due to Erza's words.
When Nirvana begins to move, Natsu's motion sickness kicks in. "What do you think you're doing, Natsu?!" Aira shouted.
"Get it together already, 'kay?!" Lucy said.
"The thing's... You know, that..." Natsu groaned.
"That?" Lucy asked.
"It's t-transportation, right?" Natsu asked.
"It's moving, but it's not transportation!" Aira responded. "Think of it like that!"
"Got it!" Natsu gets back up with determination, trying his best to run. He gives up after a couple of steps. "I-I'm gonna hurl..."
"These are octopus legs! You're okay riding animals, right?!" Lucy questioned.
"There ain't any octopus in the forest..." Natsu commented.
"Stop sweating the details!" Lucy yelled.
Natsu smacks his head, clearing his mind. "Okay! I'm fine now!" The leg stomps on the ground, causing it to tremble. Natsu almost falls off the leg.
"Idiot! Don't let it get to you!" Aira shouted.
"I know! Leave it to me!" Natsu said. The leg moves once more, Natsu slides off, almost falling off the ground. "I can't do it!" He falls back down, letting the motion sickness get into his head.
"Natsu!" Lucy called out.
"It's completely useless! We have to find another way!" Aira said. As they climb higher on the leg to the anicent city, Happy and Cain fly towards them. "Happy! Cain!"
"Thank goodness, Happy and Cain!" Lucy said in relief.
"Aye!" Happy replied.
"Is everyone okay?!" Cain added on.
"Yeah!" Aira reassured his partner.
"Where's Natsu?!" Happy asked. He finally notices Natsu who's ahead of Aira and Lucy, but he is unable to move. He flies towards Natsu to check on him. "Are you alright, Natsu?!"
"Happy..." Natsu reaches his hand out, groaning and hurling.
"If Happy picks up Natsu, it will get rid of his motion sickness! Which also means we might have a chance to stop the Oracion Seis!" Lucy stated.
"Right... But I had a different idea in mind!" Aira said.
"What?!" Lucy asked in confusion.
"This!" Aira grabs onto Cain's hoodie as he picked him up.
"Huh? Aira?" Cain questioned.
"I'm going to stop that snake-eyed bastard and Brain once and for all!" Aira claimed and turns to look at Natsu, Lucy, and Happy. "I'll meet you guys in the center!"
"What are you talking about, Aira?!" Lucy asked.
"Cain, let's fly!" Aira told him.
"Are you insane, Aira?! I just got you back, I'm not losing you again!" Cain argued.
"Just take me up there! I promise that snake bastard will get what's coming to him!" Aira promised. Cain sighed and opened his wings, grabbing onto his partner as they fly towards Nirvana. "It's a city... And it looks really old." They both wonder why it looks so old and destroyed.
"This smell..." Aira picks up a familiar scent. "It's his smell!"
"Finally, Brain! We've gotten Nirvana!" Cobra said. Brain chuckles to himself. "So this is a relic of the ancients? Cubellios, this is pretty awesome!" Cubellios hisses at him in agreement.
"Look, Cobra! Look at that world spread out below me!" Brain overlooks at the ancient city. Cobra walks up to him to see it as well. "The city of ancients... That itself is the true identity of Nirvana! While I stand here on the King's Summit, this city moves exactly as I will it!"
"Move? Are we making it go somewhere?" Cobra asked.
"I'm aiming for a certain guild, you see..." Brain replied.
"Our first target?" Cobra smirked.
"Call it the first land to have its light exitinguished." Brain uses his magic to create a Magic Circle. "Go forth, ancient city! Change our darkness for the light!" They see a light flying towards them.
"I'm gonna stop ya!" Aira yelled. He punches through the Magic Circle. Cain helps him fly back up. "Water Dragon's Roar!" He attempts to attack Brain who shields himself.
"Cobra! Don't let him interfere!" Brain ordered.
"Right! Cubellios!" Cobra orders Cubellios to attack Aira and Cain, sending them a short distance from Brain.
"I'll destroy you!" Aira tries to counter attack with another roar, but Cobra, jumping off of Cubellios, attacks him. "Thanks, Cain."
"I told you I wasn't going to let anything happen to you." Cain answered.
"Why, that..." Aira and Cain are surprised to see that Cubellios is able to sprout wings of its own.
"What's that?! The snake is flying!" Cain pointed out.
"I see... You use that cat as a slave to make you fly." Cobra commented.
"What? Cain is my partner, you jerk. Plus, I find it easier to get up here." Aira stated.
"But you come up here while you leave your other friends behind?" Cobra questioned.
"That ain't none of your business, bastard!" Aira yelled. "Besides, I'm going to pay you back from what you did to me during our first encounter, and while I'm at it, I'm stopping this big pile of junk!"
"Go ahead and try. I won't let you near Brain." Cobra said.
"Brain?" Aira looks at Brain underneath him. "So he's the one that's moving it?"
"Bring it on, Dragon Slayer!" Cobra challenged, moving his hand to make him come forward.
"Right!" Aira yelled as Cain flies him directly at Cobra. Cobra hears something, reading his thoughts. "...Pretend like that, but aim for that guy!"
"On it!" Cain agreed. Cubellios attacks Aira with its tail, sending them flying away.
"Again..." Aira groaned.
"He totally predicted your moves!" Cain said. Aira shakes his head back to reality.
"I can hear your movements!" Cobra stated. Aira gives him a death glare. "Yes, that's better. Let's play."
Wendy and Carla are finally on Nirvana. Carla is exhausted from flying too much. Wendy and Carla are shocked to find that the moving city is moving toward their guild, Cait Shelter.
After multiple fail attempts to attack Brain, Aira and Cain fly back. "Damn it! I can't hit him with anything!"
"I wonder what kind of magic he uses?" Cain wondered.
"I have to finish this creep off quick, or I'll never be able to get at that guy!" Aira said. "Let's go, Cain... We'll kick both their asses and stop this huge pile of junk!"
"Right!" Cain agreed.
"Not gonna happen. You guys will never be able to crush our wish!" Cobra smiled at him. "Now, I'm going to enjoy this..."
"Damn you!" Aira screamed.
One of the legs start to move, stomping on the ground. "Huh? Look at that, Aira!" Cain pointed out. "See? The Magic Circle is back to normal! I thought your last attack erased it..."
"Which means unless we beat up this jerk, it's no use." Aira stated.
"I can hear you! I won't let you!" Cobra chuckled.
"Damn it, this guy's in our way!" Aira said.
"We aren't going to lose when it comes to teamwork!" Cain stated.
"Cobra, get rid of them." Brain ordered.
"I heard ya. He'll make a nice meal for Cubellios." Cobra said. Cubellios hissed at them.
"We aren't food, you know!" Cain argued.
"Bring it on!" Aira challenged.
"Cubellios!" Cobra ordered. Cubellios attacked them, but they are able to dodge.
"Aira!" Cain yelled.
"Right! Water Dragon's Wing Attack!" Aira sends streams of water towards them, but Cubellios dodges it.
"It missed?!" Cain exclaimed.
"I'm not finished yet!" Aira made a motion with both of his hands as he shoots out a large quantity of water, hoping it would hit Cobra. Cubellios easily dodges it. "S-Seriously?!"
"Aira, you didn't hit them once..." Cain commented.
"There was no way it could've been avoided... It should've hit him." Aira breathed heavily.
"I wonder..." Cain trailed off. Cubellios hits them with its tail again, sending them flying across the sky.
"I told you already! Your attacks can't hit me!" Cobra stated. "I can hear your movements!"
"Then listen to this!" Aira and Cain charge at him. However, Cubellios slaps them away.
"Fall!" Cobra yelled as Cubellios slaps them to the ground.
"Cain!" Aira called out, close to hitting the ground.
"Right!" Cain flies up, missing the ground.
"Talk about a close call... Nice one, Cain!" Aira told his partner.
"Where'd he go?!" Cain asked. Suddenly, Cobra and Cubellios appear and attack the two.
"Run, run! It makes the hunt much more exciting!" Cobra taunted.
"Damn it... Really rubs our noses in his superiority, doesn't he?!" Aira said.
"Women totally hate guys like him." Cain commented. They fly into one of the buildings. "What should we do, Aira?"
"I'm thinking!" Aira thinks of a plan. "If we hide here, he might track us down and we can ambush him..."
Suddenly, Cobra attacks them from the side. "I can hear you!" Cubellios flies right beside him. "And what do you mean, women totally hate guys like me?"
"You heard that, too?!" Cain exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Lucy is carrying Natsu with his arm over her shoulder with Happy right next to her, inside the city of Nirvana. Lucy reminds him that it's an octopus not a transportation, Natsu argues with her that octopus don't live in forests. They both meet Hoteye and Jura, but Jura explains that Hoteye changed his personality. Hoteye explains the origins of Nirvana and concludes that Brain is controlling Nirvana at the King's area. They later encounter Midnight.
Realizing that Hoteye changed sides, Midnight attacks the group with his Reflector, which slices the building around them. However, Hoteye manages to save the group with his Earth Magic and tells them to leave and find Brain while he fights Midnight. Hoteye uses his Liquid Ground to attack, but Midnight is able to deflect it. When Jura, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy continue to watch the fight, Hoteye tells them to go and reveals that his real name is Richard. Midnight is angered that Hoteye revealed his true name to the enemy but Hoteye tells him that he was awakened by love and has no need for code names. Hoteye then uses his Magic to attack.
Aira tries to attack Cobra with his fists covered in water, but misses again. "He dodged again!"
"When will you ever give up?!" Cobra asked.
"Damn it! Nothing I've thrown at him connects!" Aira complained.
"I wonder if he has some magic that lets him read our movement?!" Cain said.
"No, it lets me hear them!" Cobra stated. "I can hear your mind's thoughts, and tell your movements."
"My thoughts?" Aira repeated.
"In that case... Can you hear this?!" Cain questioned as Cobra listened carefully at his thoughts.
"I know you want to protect your Dragon Slayer at all costs." Cobra told him.
"He can totally hear them!" Cain exclaimed.
"My turn!" Aira said.
"They totally think my magic's some slideshow?" Cobra sweat dropped. Aira tests him as Cobra carefully hears his thoughts.
Cobra then bursts out laughing. "Oh my god, that's hilarious!" He exclaimed.
"I know right?" Aira agreed.
"I don't get it, Aira. Why is he laughing?" Cain questioned.
"I'll tell you when you're older." Aira answered. "Anyway, this guy will be tricky to finish him off."
"I have a good idea, but I think he can hear it." Cain comes up with a plan.
"Think "right" but attack from the left." Cobra reads out loud. "Not going to work. I can hear you planning it out. You punks have no way to win." Aira clenches his jaw. "Oh. I see. I hear you. You thought about quite a lot. You have three or four decent plans. I heard them all."
"Shut up!" Aira yelled. "I guess we have no choice but to head straight in!"
"Right!" Cain agreed.
One minute later...
"This is not going to work!" Aira said, panting.
"Aira, don't get so worked up. You're using a lot of your magic power." Cain told him.
Aira ignores him. "Here I go!" He exclaimed.
Cain sighed. "Do you ever think clearly?!" He scolded. Aira and Cain charge at Cobra, but he easily dodges them all.
"Right hook. Left kick. Followed by a roundhouse kick, and a comeback straight right!" Cobra reads all of his attacks out loud. One of his punches touches Cobra's cheek, punching him off Cubellios. "What?! Impossible!" Aira continues to attack him with his hands and feet covered in water. "I can hear it... He's not thinking anything!" Cobra then grabs one of Aira's hands. "I don't know whether he's stupid or a genius! But I never faced someone like him before! I see. Little tricks ain't working for you, eh?" His entire arm transforms into a scaly arm, burning Aira's hand with poison.
"M-My hand..." Aira grabs onto his hand, feeling the stinging pain.
"Aira, what's the matter?!" Cain questioned.
"Poison Dragon Cobra... It's time I get serious." Cobra announced, revealing that he's also a Dragon Slayer.
"N-No way..." Cain gasped.
"Don't tell me this guy is a..." Aira began.
"...Dragon Slayer?!" Aira and Cain exclaimed in unison.
Cobra immediately attacks them with his claws. Aira and Cain narrowly dodge the attack and realizes the difficulty of their battle. Cobra then jumps off Cubellios and, with his feet covered in poison, kicks Aira.
"Are you okay?" Cain asked worriedly.
"Damn it... What's with these attacks? Each time they hit, I get more numb!" Aira's skin burns from the poison.
"I can hear your pain!" Cobra taunted. "The attacks of a Poison Dragon can infect and destroy anything!"
"Is that so?! Then I'll destroy your lousy poison!" Aira taunts back at him. "Let's go!"
"Right!" Cain agreed.
"Water Dragon's Wave Fist!" Aira charges at Cobra.
"Fall and rot! Poison Dragon's Fang Thrust!" Cobra defends himself. The two cause an explosion as Aira and Cain are sent flying away separately.
Cain recovers by using his wings while on the other hand, Aira falls down and crashes into a building. "I dropped him!" Cain exclaimed, flying over to Aira.
"Cain...!" Aira groaned. Cain picks him back up and flies him over to where Cobra is.
"I'm sorry I dropped you!" Cain said.
"No... I'm okay." Aira reassured him, shaking his head back to reality.
"He don't know when to quit do he, Cubellios?" Cobra speaks to his snake as it hisses back.
"Jackass!" Aira attempts to punch him, but Cobra easily dodges him.
"I can hear everything... Not just your thoughts, but the movement of your muscles, even your breathing!" Cobra taunted.
"Our attacks aren't landing on him... Were you not thinking?!" Cain asked.
"Ever since I found out he was a Dragon Slayer, it hasn't gone so well..." Aira admitted.
"Clear your mind! It'll work better!" Cain said. "Here we go!" Cain and Aira charge once more.
"Water Dragon's Jet Claw!" Aira attacks with a large quantity of water upon his feet.
"Poison Dragon's Spiral Jaw!" Cobra jumps up and kicks him away. Aira and Cain are overpowered and fall to the ground.
"Damn... That hurt..." Aira groaned.
"Pull yourself together, Aira!" Cain said. He sees a ball of fire falling on top of them. "Aira!" The large fireball causes a huge explosion.
Cobra searches for his opponents in the sky. "Did he get turned to ash? No wait..." Steam was coming from where the flames were.
"He completely washed out the flames?! Well, don't see that every day, Cubellios." Cobra said.
Aira flies back up, glaring at Cobra. Cain flies through and around him. "Follow me if you dare, slanty-eyes!"
"You're one to talk, bluey!" Cobra spat back in annoyance, chasing after Aira. "Poison Dragon's Scales!"
"Max Speed!" Cain dodges them. Smoke appears around them.
After the smoke vanishes, only Cain appears.
Cobra looks above him and sees Aira attacking directly at him. "Stupid... Don't you realize a feint isn't going to work by now?!"
"I had to get close!" Aira smirked. "Water Dragon's..." Cobra grabs his mouth and throws him aside.
"Aira!" Cain catches him on time.
"I think it's time to eat!" Cubellios spits out poison mist around Cobra.
"Poison gas..." Cain muttered. Cobra eats up all the poison. "He's eating the poison."
"That doesn't seem very healthy." Aira commented.
"Now that I've eaten, I'm all fired up... yeah?" Cobra taunted.
"Don't go copying that flaming piece of shit, you bastard!" Aira yelled.
"Rot and die!" Cobra shouted. "Poison Dragon's..."
"His breath attack?!" Aira exclaimed, worried for what's coming next.
"This is bad!" Cain commented.
"...Roar!" Cobra spits out poison at them, sending them flying away further.
"W-What? That didn't cause much damage at all..." Aira said as his skin burns from the poison. Cain begins to lose altitude. "What's wrong, Cain?" Cain mumbles something as he falls back down further. "Wake up, Cain!"
"For some reason... my body... isn't moving right..." Cain replied.
"Don't worry about it! Same for me." Aira informed.
"That's what I'm actually worried about!" Cain stated.
Cobra laughed evilly. "The breath of the Poison Dragon infects your entire body with a virus! It slowly steals your mobility and then your life!" Cain is still mumbling a few words as Aira looks up at Cobra. "The moment you got hit with that breath, your defeat was guaranteed!"
"Oh, shut the hell up!" Aira screamed, jumping up using his water as steam appeared from under him. "I don't give a crap about your poison!" Cain and Aira charge at Cobra. "Water Dragon's Combination Spell: Scald!"
Cobra easily dodges him again. "I can hear your movements!"
"Damn it!" Aira cursed.
"But for someone to be able to still move after being hit with my poison... You Old Generation Dragon Slayers ain't half bad." Cobra commented.
"Old Generation?" Aira repeated.
"I'm a New Generation Dragon Slayer. I received power to slay dragon's by having a dragon lacrima infused into my body." Cobra explained.
"It's what Gramps said." Aira mumbled.
"He's the same as Laxus! He's not a real Dragon Slayer!" Cain commented.
"Real?! Dragon Slaying Magic was originally only able to be learned by dragons! It was not a technique for humans." Cobra explained. "If you ask me, you're the one that's the freak! Because there ain't any dragons in this world!"
"Huh?! Just try saying that again! Kaito does exist! I should know, he was my father and mentor! He was the one who taught me Dragon Slayer Magic! But of course, you don't know anything about that, do you, you damn artifical Dragon Slayer!" Aira yelled, charging at Cobra.
"Nope! Dragons are extinct!" Cobra argued.
"Don't go killing them off so easily!" Aira shouted.
"Poison Dragon's Twin Fang!" Cobra easily attacks him.
"M-My body... I can't move... Damn it..." Aira feels the effect of the poison again.
"I can hear the poison spreading throughout your entire body. Rot and die right here before me, Old Generation." Cobra taunted.
"Aira... I'm at my limit, too..." Cain said weakly.
"Drop me right on top of him." Aira said.
Cobra can hear them speaking. "What are you saying, Aira?! Didn't you just say you couldn't move?!" Cain protested.
"I don't care! I need to defeat him with this one move." Aira said.
"What are you going to do?" Cain asked.
"A full power Water Dragon's Roar?" Cobra thought. "Idiot... I can hear what you're thinking."
"Now!" Aira yelled.
"Right!" Cain drops Aira.
"It was more of a nuisance when he was attacking without thinking." Cobra thinks to himself. "This is over!"
"Water Dragon's..." Aira begins to fall on Cobra.
"It's no use! I can hear you! You plan on aiming all around! Think you can hit me no matter where I dodge?!" Cobra jumps off of Cubellios. "But it won't reach straight behind your head!" He grabs Aira from behind. "I'll smash in that head of yours!"
"Aira!" Cain cried out.
"Go meet your dragon in the afterlife!" Cobra laughs out loud.
"Damn you!" Aira roared. He lets out a long piercing and deafening scream that is heard throughout Nirvana. Everybody covers their ears, wondering where that horrifying loud noise is coming from and what it was. Aira roared just like the Water Dragon King, Kaito. An image of Kaito appears behind him. Aira stops roaring, breathing heavily.
The scream affects Cobra differently due to his enhanced hearing and he falls to the ground. "My ears!"
"That was some roar, all right." Cain commented.
"Having good ears might bring you down in the end." Aira stated.
"Impossible... Defeating Cobra with nothing but a scream?" Brain asked himself, shocked to see Cobra defeated. "Just who is that man?"
"I'm tired... My body doesn't feel so..." Cain muttered.
"Is it his poison?" Aira questioned. "Damn it..."
"Hey!" A voice called out. Aira looks up and sees Natsu and Happy heading their way.
"Natsu..." Aira groaned.
"Natsu! Happy!" Cain said in relief. Natsu catches up to them, feeling fine for the moment.
"What the hell happened to you?!" Natsu grabs Aira's scarf shaking him back and forth.
"Natsu, please stop. I just got done defeating Cobra." Aira informed.
"So that roar was yours? You almost killed my ears, you water breathing bastard!" Natsu shouted.
"I didn't mean too! How else was I suppose to defeat him?!" Aira shouted back.
Being on Nirvana's triggers, Natsu stops shaking Aira as his motion sickness kicks in. "Transportation..." Natsu groaned as he falls on the ground.
"Dumbass..." Aira muttered.
Suddenly, Cobra stands back on his feet. Aira looks up to see Cobra standing over him. "By the pride of the Six Generals, I will defeat you!"
"Damn it... I can't move..." Aira looks over towards Natsu who is hurling. "And Natsu can't fight due to his motion sickness... Crap..."
"I can hear it... I can hear the end of the life of an Old Generation Dragon Slayer!" Cobra strikes down, but he is shot by Brain.
"Enough, Cobra." Brain ordered.
"B-Brain?! What are you..." Cobra turns to look at Brain over his shoulder.
"You did well. Rest in peace." Brain said. "In the end, nothing more than a fake Dragon Slayer... I have no need for him as one of the six generals that will crush the official guilds. Trash!" Cobra listens in on his thoughts. "Oops. Did you hear that?" Brain laughed out loud as Cobra cries.
"Damn you... Damn you!" Cobra exclaimed, glaring at Brain evilly. He looks over at Cubellios. "My prayer... I only wanted to hear the voice of my one friend... Cubellios..." Cobra collapsed from the injury.
Natsu was watching the entire time, watching Brain finish off his comrade and hearing Cobra's prayer. "Weren't you... his ally?" He struggles to get up, fighting his motion sickness.
"Ally? I can gather as many as I wish shortly. Using Nirvana's power, that is." Brain said.
"You can't call those allies." Natsu stated. "They're just puppets!"
"Natsu..." Aira groaned.
"Now, now... Don't get testy. I have taken an interest in your power. I suspect you know what I mean by that. I will make you my puppet slave!" Brain reveals his plan to Natsu.
As the battle continues, Midnight collapses onto the ground, seemingly defeated. Refusing to lose and afraid that his father will abandon him, he runs off. Using his Heaven's Eye, Hoteye is able to see through anything, pinpointing Midnight's location. Midnight desparately tries to run, but Hoteye manages to attack him with his Liquid Ground. The attack hits and Midnight is defeated.
"There they are!" Jura and Lucy cried out. They see Brain dragging Natsu by his scarf.
"Natsu!" Lucy cried out. Natsu turns to them, hopeless to do anything. "What happened?"
"It's 'cause of the transportation..." Natsu groaned.
"Lucy... and the other guy..." Aira groaned as well, happy to see them.
"It's Jura." He sweat dropped.
"Everyone..." Cain yelled.
"Cat-dono, you are also unharmed?" Jura asked.
"Cat-dono?" Lucy repeated.
"Save Natsu... He's being taken away..." Happy begged.
"Half of the Six Generals are finished. Their stars have fallen." Brain stated. "Starting now, I will create a new set of Generals. Including this one."
"I figured... this would happen eventually..." Aira said. "Finally getting scouted by a Dark Guild... huh?"
"Natsu isn't gonna do what you say!" Lucy informed.
"Nirvana will soak this boy's heart in darkness, and he will become nothing but my loyal servant." Brain said.
"Hell no, I won't!" Natsu bites Brain's hand.
"You still have strength even though you're sick?!" Brain picks him up and slams his body onto the ground. Natsu stops struggling and gives up.
"He does not seem so well." Jura commented.
"He gets... extreme motion sickness..." Aira explained.
"Hurry up... and beat... this guy... Stop... this thing..." Natsu weakly said.
"I'm not... doin' it for you... But sure." Aira gets back up, walking over towards Lucy.
"Yeah!" Lucy agreed.
"Stop? Nirvana? Not even possible." Brain said. Natsu continues to move. "This city will shortly reach its first destination. We will arrive at Cait Shelter."
"That's Wendy and Carla's guild!" Happy stated. "But why?" Brain smirks at them.
"Tell us your purpose. Why do you aim for Wendy-dono's guild?" Jura questioned.
"This ultra-inversion magic can change a guild of light into one of darkness in an instant." Brain responded. "I can't wait. I suspect you'll see true hell!"
"We can't let this guy off!" Lucy said.
"This bastard is gettin' to me!" Aira stated. Jura walks behind Aira, scaring him a bit.
"Did you not hear me? Tell us your purpose!" Jura repeated, enraged.
Brain laughs out loud. "I have no words for pitiful weaklings like you! I will become the judge ruling over light and darkness! Bow down before me!"
"This man needs to be dealt with." Jura walked past them. "It seems like there is no talking with him."
"Begone, worms!" Brain uses his staff to use Magic. Jura points his fingers to Brain and the ground around him crumbles and Brain is blown away. "W-What is this magic power?!"
"Stand. I will not let you rest until you say why you are targeting Cait Shelter." Jura ordered.
"Wait, could this old guy..." Aira mumbled.
"...be really crazy powerful?!" Lucy finished. Nirvana continues to move further and further to its' destination.
"This is someone with the title of Wizard Saint, just like our master." Happy informed. Natsu is still hurling from his motion sickness.
"I see... You surprised me for a moment there. I suppose the distinction of being one of the Wizard Saints is not just for show." Brain stood back up.
"There are many other guilds closer than Cait Shelter. There must be some reason why you head their specifically." Jura said.
Brain raises his staff. "There is no need for those that will shortly be dead to know! Dark Rondo!" He sends thick tendrils of Darkness Magic towards Jura.
"Iron Rock Wall!" Jura defends himself against the attack.
"Whoa! That's amazing! And actually kind of scary..." Lucy commented as they stared in amazement at Jura's power.
"Do you understand how futile this battle is now? Tell me the reason you aim for Cait Shelter." Jura repeated.
"And what will you do if you know?!" Brain casts Dark Rondo again once more, but Jura defends himself using Iron Rock Wall again.
"I said it was futile!" Jura said.
"Oh, is that so?" Brain suddenly appeared behind him. "Dark Capriccio!" Jura bends the rocks from his previous attack to defend against it.
"It's futile." Jura repeated once more.
"Dark Capriccio is a piercing magic. It will cut right through those damn rocks!" Brain's spell smashes through Jura's defensive rock. Jura quickly dodges.
"The Iron Rock Wall won't work against that!" Lucy exclaimed.
"He's got a way to pierce through, but being able to dodge it is impressive, too!" Aira added on.
"Iron Rock Wall!" Jura defends himself again.
"The same thing again?" Brain laughed. "Perhaps that's what is futile!" His spell pierces through most of the rocks easily. "My Dark Capriccio will eventually turn you to dust!"
"That would be good if it were true." Jura stated as he manipulated his defensive rocks to bend and redirect Brain's magic.
"I will finish this. And in a big way!" Brain raised his staff. "Dark Capriccio Scream!"
"Iron Rock Wall: Continuous Formation!" Jura created multiple walls of rocks forming one after the other. Brain's spell pierces through the walls.
"Jura, run!" Lucy called out. After the spell pierces through the walls, Jura quickly moves the flying pieces of rocks to smash into the surprised Brain, redirecting the spell. Large fragments of rocks gather around Brain.
"He's trapped in rocks." Lucy pointed out.
"Supreme King Rock Crush!" Jura casted one last spell as the rocks crushed against Brain inside.
"Even while withstanding such fierce attacks, he noticed he could use the shattering pieces of rocks!" Happy said.
"Hell yeah! That guy's the boss of Oracion Seis, right?" Aira questioned.
"We won!" Lucy cheered in excitement.
Brain falls down, defeated. "Now... Tell me the reason you are aiming for Wendy-dono's guild." Jura demanded.
"Wait, shouldn't we just stop it?" Lucy asked.
"Do it for me, please..." Natsu begged.
"I cannot believe that I... was... defeated..." Brain stated. "Midnight... I leave the rest to you. The Six Generals will never be defeated. When the six prayers vanish, he will..." A mark on his face disappears as he passes out without explaining their motives.
"He?" Jura repeated.
"And hey, didn't one of those symbols on his face just disappear?" Aira questioned.
"Please don't freak me out like that. I'm gonna have nightmares about this now!" Lucy complained.
"Everyone!" A voice called out. They looked up to see Wendy and Carla running towards them.
"I figured that all that ruckus was you people." Carla stated.
"Carla!" Happy cried out, glad to see that she was all right.
"This city... I think it might be heading toward our guild!" Wendy exclaimed.
"Seems like it. But don't worry now." Aira reassured. Wendy's surprised to see that Brain was defeated. "I defeated the snake bastard over there." He added.
"It's probably Brain here that was manipulating Nirvana. So since we defeated him, the city should stop, right?" Lucy questioned.
"I don't like this. In the end, we never found out why he was heading for Cait Shelter." Carla pointed out.
"Maybe there wasn't any particular reason for it." Aira guessed.
"When the six prayers vanish, he will..." Brain's words repeated in Jura's mind. "There is still some things left unsolved, but it is over now."
"No, it ain't!" Natsu denied. "Hurry up and stop this thing!"
"Natsu-san! Is he okay?" Wendy asked. They all shake their heads in disagreement.
However, Midnight reveals that their entire battle was just an illusion and attacks Hoteye. Hoteye, seeing Midnight's body, realizes he had not been able to injure him. Midnight then tells him that he is the strongest Mage and has surpassed Brain. Hoteye collapses, releasing his prayer to see his brother's face one more time.
Due to Hoteye's defeat, Brain's face loses another one of its lines. Realizing this, Brain hopes that Midnight is not to be defeated.
The group decides to head to King's Summit, where Brain claimed he controlled Nirvana.
"What the hell?" Aira muttered.
"What in the world...?" Lucy looked around the place.
"There's nothing that looks like controls at all!" Aira pointed out.
"Then, how can we stop it?" Lucy questioned.
"Damn it! I thought it would stop if we defeated Brain..." Aira mumbled.
"We were naive! Now we have no idea how to stop it!" Lucy said.
Wendy sits next to the sick Natsu. "What should I do?"
"Natsu can't handle transportation." Happy responded.
"So pitiful!" Carla exclaimed.
"I'm gonna hurl..." Natsu groaned.
"Motion sickness?" Wendy asked.
"Aye!" Happy answered.
"In that case... Maybe a spell to cure his sense of equilibrium will work." Wendy places her hand on Natsu's head and uses her Magic to cure him. "Troia."
Natsu snaps back to reality, feeling completely normal. "I'm baaack!" He jumped around. "Fine! Totally fine!"
"Thank goodness. I'm glad it worked." Wendy said.
"You rock, Wendy! Please teach me that magic!" Natsu smiled at her.
"It's Sky Magic... That's impossible." Wendy responded.
"This doesn't feel like transportation at all!" Natsu shakes Lucy. "Okay! Lucy, summon a boat or train Spirit!"
"I don't have one like that! And anyway, this isn't the time! Get with the picture, would ya?!" Lucy yelled.
"We don't know how to spot it. As you can see, there's nothing here." Aira said.
"But Hoteye... I mean, Richard, said that this was the place it was controlled from." Lucy pointed out.
"I do not believe that Richard-dono would lie." Jura said.
"Besides having it stopped or not, hasn't anyone noticed something even peculiar?" Carla asked. "There's no controls, and no one here in the King's Summit. Brain has been defeated. So why is it still moving?"
"Could it be operating on auto-pilot?" Aira guessed. "Nirvana has already been set to fire!"
Wendy silently cried to herself. "Our... guild..."
"Don't worry. Your guild ain't going anywhere. Let me do you this favor. I'll stop it, no matter what." Natsu reassured her.
Back at Cait Shelter, a member of the guild rushes in screaming that Nirvana is heading their way. At first, the Guild Master, Roubaul doesn't take him seriously. However, he soon realizes that the man wasn't kidding. Another member of the guild asks if Nirvana attacking them is fate or coincidence and suggests that they evacuate. However, Master Roubaul tells them that even as they speak, there are people out there fighting to stop Nirvana, and to believe in them. He ends his disclosure by deciding that Nirvana attacking the Guild isn't fate, and that, maybe it's time for them to "pay for their crimes".
"Stop it? But we don't know how to stop it!" Happy informed.
"Like, breaking it?" Natsu questioned.
"Yup, figured you'd think like that." Lucy sweat dropped.
"How do you plan on breaking something this huge?" Aira asked.
"It would be faster to ask Brain." Jura pointed out.
"Will he tell us just like that, I wonder?" Carla wondered out loud.
"Maybe Jellal would know..." Wendy muttered.
"Did you say something?" Lucy questioned.
"Is something the matter?" Aira added on.
"No, it's nothing." Wendy answered. "I think I might be on to something I want to check it out." She runs off to find him.
"Wendy, wait!" Carla flies after her.
"Hey!" Aira called out.
"What's with her?" Lucy wondered.
"Everyone, can you hear me?" A voice communicated with them. "It's me, Hoteye."
"Who is it?!" Natsu questioned.
"It is Richard-dono! You are unharmed?!" Jura asked.
"Unfortunately, I am injured. I was no match for Midnight, as I feared." Hoteye responded. "Everyone, please work together to defeat Midnight! If you defeat him, Nirvana's supply of magical power will be cut off, and the city should come to a halt."
"Who is it?" Natsu asked once more in confusion.
"So, it moves using Body Link magic." Aira stated.
"He is directly below the King's Summit. Be careful. He is very, very powerful!" Hoteye warned.
"Richard-dono..." Jura mumbled.
"Directly below us?" Lucy pointed to the ground.
"Okay! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!" Aira said.
"Powerful, huh? I'm getting fired up!" Natsu exclaimed in excitement.
"Natsu... It's to stop this thing, remember?" Happy sweat dropped as he reminded Natsu.
"Right! Let's go!" Natsu agreed.
"Of the six prayers, only one is left. I believe in everyone! You will surely win, and be able to stop Nirvana! Please..." However, it turns out that it was not Hoteye who communicated with the group, but Brain, who was collapsed somewhere.
"Richard-dono!" Jura called out.
"You won't get away with this... You'll pay..." Brain smiles, thinking he has killed Natsu and the group, and drifts off into unconsciousness.
The group starts to exit the tower they were in. They run downstairs, but they are faced with a door. Natsu kicks and jumps on it, trying to break it open. "Show yourself, you drowsy bastard!" Natsu pries it open as a bright light shines at them.
"It's a trap!" Jura warned. They all get caught in a massive explosion.
Meanwhile, Jellal and Erza, somewhere else on Nirvana, hear the explosion. Midnight suddenly appears behind them, stating that "Father" can be so cruel sometimes, stealing away all his fun. He adds that the two of them are the only remaining prey and that he hopes they don't bore him. Jellal tells Erza to stand back and faces Midnight.
"Damn it... That hurt." Natsu groaned.
"Is everyone alive?" Aira asked.
"Aye..." Happy replied.
"Seems so..." Cain added.
"What happened? We were caught up in that giant explosion and..." Lucy attempts to get up but she hits her head on something.
"We're buried?" Aira questioned.
"Wait, this is..." Lucy recognizes the type of Magic.
Natsu bursts through the rocks. He sees Jura casted a massive version of his Iron Rock Wall to protect them, letting himself take the brunt of the blow. "Stay well, young ones... I am glad you're safe." Jura falls with the group begging not to die on them.
"Damn it all!" Natsu screamed.
Wendy and Carla are flying in the air and suspect Nirvana is actually heading towards their guild. Carla cannot fly much further so they search for Jellal on foot. Carla tells Wendy that she has a good sense of smell, but Wendy states that his smell is different.
Erza and Jellal see the explosion and wonder what it was. However, before they could investigate, they are stopped by Midnight, who complains that it was cruel of Brain to take away his fun by killing Natsu and the others. He states that Erza and Jellal are the last of his prey and engages them in battle. Jellal moves to strike him first, asking Erza to stand back. But Jellal turns out to be no match for Midnight and is easily beaten to the ground.
"What'll we do? He's hurt bad!" Lucy stated.
"Don't die on us, old man!" Aira said.
"It was a trap..." Happy stated the obvious. Natsu clenched his fist and grits his teeth in enrage.
"What a joke..." A voice said. "Brain used up all the rest of his power and could only get rid of one of you."
"Who is it?!" Aira shouted.
"Up there!" Cain pointed out.
"Pitiful... He's a disgrace to the Six Generals." Brain's staff spoke. "Well, as long as Midnight is here, we haven't been defeated." He flies closer to the group. "Perhaps I will clean up the rest of you fools."
"The... The staff is talking!" Happy shrieked.
"You and Cain talk too, even though you're cats." Lucy commented.
Brain's staff slowly flies up in the air as he laughs out loud. "That's the staff that Brain had." Aira said.
"What's going on?!" Lucy questioned in surprise.
The staff continues to laugh until Natsu grabs him and violently dashes the staff on the ground. "Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-now!"
"Wait, we don't know what it is!" Lucy shouted.
"Stop this big city, you rotted stick!" Natsu ordered.
"R-Rotted stick?! How rude! Stick I'll accept, but what do you mean rotted, huh?!" The staff complained, yelling at Natsu. "I am the seventh member of Oracion Seis. I have awakened from my slumber to defeat..."
"I said stop this city!" Natsu grabs him once again, slamming it on the ground.
"Huh? Oracion Seis has 6 members." Lucy said.
"Professor Happy's Fairy Tail Lectures!" Happy wears a suit while standing on a table in front of a chalkboard. "That's right! There are six members, and thus "Six Wizard Generals". The name is read as Oracion Seis." Happy returns back to reality. "Huh? That is strange."
"See? There are supposed to be six, so what's with the seventh?" Lucy asked in irritation.
"And wait... Are we dropping the whole talking staff thing already?" Aira added on.
Happy sighed out loud. "It's all ridiculous I don't know where to start."
The staff jumps out of Natsu's hand. "You violent brat... Soon I'll be able to see the guild of those fools... I must clean up the trash without delay."
"You mean Cait Shelter?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Exactly! We will begin our destruction by crushing them!" The staff laughs out loud.
Meanwhile, Erza begins sparring with Midnight, who easily reflects her sword slashes and eventually wraps and traps her in her own armor. Her next armor is also destroyed by Midnight's Magic. Erza falls after Midnight uses an attack called Spiral Pain. Midnight then turns his attention towards Jellal, who asks why they are attacking Cait Shelter. Midnight also explains the same thing the staff did to Natsu and the rest.
"They have the power to seal Nirvana once against that is why we must destroy them." Brain's staff explained.
He then requests Jellal to join a new set of Oracion Seis Generals that Midnight hopes to gather. Midnight's ranting about Jellal's soul being full of darkness brings back Jellal's memories of his past, and he almost succumbs to despair and joins Midnight. However, Erza uses the last of her strength to stand up and tells Jellal that there is light inside his soul and reassures him that she is always there for him. She then requips into the Robe of Yuen and confronts Midnight once more with confidence, stating that she will defeat him and end his madness no matter what.
"There is no stopping us! We are near! Cait Shelter!" The staff exclaimed.
Erza continues her fight against the last General of the Oracion Seis; Midnight. However, Midnight keeps deflecting her attacks used against him and Jellal is already beaten. Erza finally figures out two weaknesses in Midnight's powers. One is that he can only bend space in one specific area at a time and two is that he can't bend human bodies. In her flexible armor, the Robe of Yuen, Erza finally manages to defeat Midnight by attacking him with multiple swords while he attempts to crush her armor, rendering Midnight incapable of deflecting the barrage of swords. She then explains that the armor itself is "flexible" and hence immune to Midnight's powers and breaks free of her confines, but declines to finish him off, thinking that he will give up now that he's been defeated.
Just then a clock in the Ancient City atop Nirvana begins chiming, signifying the beginning of midnight. Midnight then begans laughing hysterically, gloating that his reflector ability is taken to the extremes at midnight. He then begins transforming into a hideous beast and attacks Jellal and Erza. He taunts and attempts to break Erza by showing her images of her friends who have died. Erza then realizes that Midnight too was a slave at the Tower of Heaven. Midnight then reveals his hatred for Jellal and tricks Erza into attacking Jellal (by disguising Jellal as himself). Erza then realizes he is using an Illusion Magic now and uses her artificial eye to negate his Magic. She then swiftly defeats Midnight, who releases his prayer to be able to sleep in a quiet place and falls unconscious, despairing about his defeat.
