Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tenrou Island.
December 15, x784.
"Is this really how things end for us?" Bickslow asked while struggling at the top of the Tower of Dingir.
"Though he did not say anything in reply, Fried was currently thinking the same thing. Meanwhile, Rustyrose was watching the struggles of the two Fairy Tail wizards with an amused smile on his face.
"It should happen any time now." Rustyrose said. "Personally, I'm looking forward to the fireworks. In fact, I'm almost jealous that you get to see them from so close. Hahahahaha!"
Hearing that, Bickslow and Fried could only grit their teeth as they intensified their struggles.
"[Evil Shower]."
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
At that moment, the base of the [Tower of Dingir], was bombarded by a volley of pink orbs of [Darkness Magic]. As a result, the tower began to tip due to a large chunk being blown away.
"What? Who's there?" Rustyrose asked as he watched his creation start to fall. "Show yourself."
A moment later, Bickslow and Fried were plucked out of the air by a silhouette moving at high speed. Then, they were gently placed on the ground a short while later.
"It looks like the two of you were in a little trouble, huh?" Mirajane, in her [Satan Soul: Sitri] form asked with a smile. Though, this smile was much more devilish in comparison to her usual smile.
"Mira… I'm glad you were nearby." Bickslow said as he instructed his dolls to reassemble.
"Indeed." Fried added. "Though, I must admit that needing to be saved is rather embarrassing."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Mirajane replied. "We're part of the same guild. Helping each other is only natural, right?"
After speaking, Mirajane turned her attention towards Rustyrose.
"As for you, you'll pay for what you almost did to them." Mirajane said in a menacing tone. Then, without turning away from Rustyrose, she gave instructions to Bickslow and Fried. "I want the two of you to return to the camp. You can leave this guy to me."
"But we can still fight." Bickslow replied, sounding a bit indignant.
"I don't doubt that." Mirajane replied. "But Fried should have that injury taken care of."
In response to Mirajane's words, Bickslow turned to see the gash running across Fried's chest.
"*Sigh* I guess you're right." Bickslow replied in a resigned tone.
"It seems I have become a burden." Fried said while clenching his fists. "I can only pray that Laxus is not disappointed by my failure to attain victory."
"You can think about that later." Bickslow said as he instructed one of his dolls to hover next to Fried. "For now, let's get you back to the camp. And you should ride on one of my babies so that your injuries don't get any worse along the way."
With that, Bickslow began carefully helping Fried climb onto one of his dolls. Even so, he could not help but think back to the conversation he had with Levy and Gajeel in the hot spring.
"I would have never even thought about it before Gajeel said something.' Bickslow thought to himself as he shot a stealthy, skeptical gaze at Fried. 'But maybe those two really are gay. At the very least, Fried is. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But now I can't stop considering the possibility…'
"And do you think I'll allow you to leave, just like that?" Rustyrose asked, feeling irritated that he had been disregarded. "Belcusas, show them why leaving won't be so easy."
*Roar!*
Hearing Rustyrose's command, Belcusas roared loudly before charging forward at Bickslow and Fried, who were ready to flee the battlefield. Then, he lifted one of his massive arms to swat the two wizards out of the sky, along with all of Bickslow's dolls.
"You seem to be under a misconception." Mirajane said calmly as she appeared between Belcusas and her guild mates. "What about what I said made you think I was seeking your opinion?"
*Bang!*
After saying her piece, Mirajane calmly raised her right hand and stopped Belcusas swipe with little effort. Though, the ground beneath her did crater due to the immense strength.
"Oh, that was rather impressive." Mirajane said with a raised eyebrow. "I think you'll make a perfect [Beast Soul] for my little brother."
"Be careful, Mira." Bickslow said as he and Fried floated away from the confrontation. "That thing's defense is pretty strong. No matter what I did, I couldn't even scratch it."
"Also, his magic, [Arc of Embodiment], allows him to materialize anything he can imagine." Fried added while pointing at Rustyrose. "So, you need to be careful."
Thanks for the info." Mirajane replied with a smile.
*Roar!*
Belcusas roared once again and swung his other arm down at Mirajane, who he was unable to pull away from. However, just like the first time, Mirajane caught his swipe with little effort. Though, the ground cratered a bit more from the force.
"That was rude." Mirajane said with a slight frown. "Can't you see we were having a conversation? Someone needs to teach you some…"
As she got to that point in her speech, Mirajane threw a high kick at Belcusas. However, due to the Guardian Beast's immense size, she was only able to kick it in its lower abdomen. Even so, her kick, that detonated the flames on her legs upon impact, sent the hulking behemoth flying.
"…Manners." Mirajane said, finishing her sentence.
"What? How is that possible?" Rustyrose exclaimed in shock.
Wasting no time, Mirajane shot up into the air, using the flames on her legs as a type of jet propulsion to increase her speed. Then, with [Darkness Magic] coating her fists, she launched a barrage of punches into Belcusas' abdomen.
And to everyone's surprise, with every hit landed, Belcusas' armor dented before eventually starting to crack.
*Roar!*
On top of that, Belcusas' constant roars of pain were more than enough to let everyone know just how powerful the punches Mirajane landed over and over were.
"This is impossible." Rustyrose said as he swept his arms towards Mirajane.
With the swipe of Rustyrose's arms, dozens of black swords were created and fired in Mirajane's direction.
"Now I see where your creature got it's abysmal manners." Mirajane said as she felt Rustyrose's magic power flare. "Is it too much to ask for you to wait until I'm done?"
With that, Mirajane flew around to Belcusas' back. Then, while grabbing the back of its armor, she repositioned it so that at least a few of the swords would end up piercing the cracks in his armor.
*Roar!*
Once again, Belcusas' pain-filled roars echoed over the area as blod sprayed from the new stab wounds on its torso.
"How dare you!" Rustyrose exclaimed furiously.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I have to make sure that this thing doesn't die, right?" Mirajane muttered in response. "Thanks for reminding me. It won't be any good to Elfman if it's dead."
"You damn wench!" Rustrose bellowed furiously. [Arc of Embodiment: Pegasus Wings, Jet Black Sword]."
With that, Rustyrose once again sprouted a pair of feathered wings on his back while his right arm transformed into a claw shaped sword again. Then, he flapped his wings and charged at Mirajane.
"You're so stingy." Mirajane said playfully. "If you wanted your little pet back, all you had to do was ask."
With that, Mirajane let go of Belcusas' armor. Then, she put her hands against its back.
"[Evil Shower]. Mirajane chanted.
As she chanted, a pink orb of [Darkness Magic] formed between Mirajane's hands and the back of Belcusas' armor. Then, the [Darkness Magic] orb began releasing smaller orbs that propelled Belcusas back to the ground.
And as it just so happened, between the ground and Belcusas was Rustyrose. While avoiding the falling behemoth of a beast would be simple, he would also have to avoid all the [Darkness Magic] orbs that spread to either side of Belcusas.
"I fell into her trap." Rustyrose muttered with a frown. "Still, I can protect myself from those magic bullets with little effort. [Golden Shield]."
Raising his left arm, a golden shield materialized in front of Rustyrose's outstretched palm. Then, using the shield to defend himself from Mirajane's spell, he successfully avoided being crushed by Belcusas as it fell.
*Boom!*
A moment later, Belcusas crashed into the ground, face first, kicking up a dust cloud on impact. Meanwhile, Rustyrose continued to charge through the hail of [Darkness Magic] bullets with his [golden Shield] leading the way for him.
"Oh, not bad." Mirajane said as she saw Rustyrose approaching completely unharmed. "But what will you do about that?"
Hearing Mirajane's question, Rustyrose cautiously slowed down to take a look at his condition. And when he saw his surroundings, he was thoroughly shocked.
"How?" When?" Rustyrose asked.
Currently, Rustyrose was surrounded by a large number of stationary [Darkness Magic] orbs. In fact, these were all the orbs from the [Hell Shower] that did not hit either Belcusas or Rustyrose's shield. Instead of letting them slam into the ground, however, Mirajane decided that repurposing them for another attack would put them to better use.
'Alfonzo and Lici were right.' Mirajane thought to herself. 'With enough control, you can do all kinds of crazy things with your magic."
"I'll admit that shield was a good defense against my spell when you only had to defend from the front." Mirajane said as she spread her arms. "But I wonder what you'll do when the attacks are coming from all directions."
*Clap!*
"Hell Storm Convergence]." Mirajane chanted while clapping her hands forcefully.
Then, with the sound of her clap echoing through the area, Mirajane controlled all the floating [Darkness Magic] orbs to converge with Rustyrose as the convergence point.
Although Rustyrose manifested as many swords and shields as he could to defend himself. In the end, the number of [Darkness Magic] orbs were simply too numerous. Eventually, one of the orbs made it through his defenses, which led to a second doing the same.
By the time Mirajane's spell ended, Rustyrose was being rag dolled in the air, before falling to the ground in a smoking, unconscious heap.
"Maybe… I went a little overboard?" Mirajane asked herself as she landed next to Rustyrose's unconscious body and nudged him with one of her feet.
"Ugh…" Rustyrose groaned, mostly from the pain of being nudged by a flaming foot.
"Oopsie!" Mirajane exclaimed when she saw the smoke rising from the spot where her foot touched Rustyrose's jacket. Then, she took a step back and pretended like nothing happened. "Anyway, I should take these two back to the camp. Man, I really hope Elfman is there already, I don't want this thing to wake up before he can do the [Take Over]."
A few moments later, Mirajane, with Rustyrose slung over one of her shoulders and dragging Belcusas by one of its legs, made her way back to the base camp on foot.
Meanwhile, on another part of the island, Happy placed Natsu on the ground gently.
"Natsu, are you okay?" Happy asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, just wasn't expecting to be burned by that guy's fire." Natsu replied while rubbing his throat.
"Of course, you were burned by my flames. Hahahahahahahaha!" The blond man, Zancrow, said while laughing, and sounding absolutely psychotic as he made his way over to Natsu from the direction of the Grimoire Heart airship. "Why would you think a dragon would be able to digest the flames of a god."
At first, Natsu looked at Zancrow with confusion all over his face. However, a moment later, something seemed to click for the pink-haired Dragon Slayer.
"So, what you're saying is that you can eat my fire, but I can't eat yours, right?" Natsu asked while narrowing his eyes.
"Even though you are indeed as dumb as you look, I guess that was a simple enough concept for even someone like you to grasp." Zancrow said with a wide smile that showed off his teeth. "Now, you should just give up and let me tor--- Huh?"
Before Zancrow could finish, Natsu appeared in front of him with his right fist reeled back.
"Then, all that means is I'll have to beat you up the old fashioned way, right?" Natsu asked as he threw his punch.
And just as his fist started moving, Natu fired his flames from the back of his elbow, acting as a booster to add more force to his punch.
*Bang!*
Zancrow's head immediately snapped to the side when Natsu's knuckles landed on the side of his face.
"Damn you!" Zancrow bellowed angrily.
Unfortunately for Zancrow, his angry shouts did not slow Natsu down in the slightest. Instead, he received a barrage of punches, kicks, elbow strikes, and knee strikes that made his anger rise even more.
*Bang!*
Eventually, Natsu landed a punch strong enough to send Zancrow flying into the trunk of a tree.
"Get up." Natsu said, his magic power encompassing his entire body in the form of a flaming cloak. "If you think that's enough to punish you for attacking my guild, you've got another thing coming. No one attacks Fairy Tail and gets away with it without paying a price."
At the same time, Zancrow was slowly picking himself up. But when he heard Natsu's words, his anger spiked to a whole new level. Then, with black flames covering his fist, he punched the tree he slammed into. As a result, the entire tree was burned to ashes in a matter of seconds.
"I'm gonna enjoy torturing and killing you." Zancrow said, sounding absolutely livid, before he charged forward to re-engage Natsu.
Once again, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2024. Also, I wanna thank everyone who has stuck wiht my story this long. I really appreciate it.

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tenrou Island.
December 15, x784.
Due to his training with Alfonzo, Elicia, and the others, Natsu's fight with Zancrow was a much more one-sided affair than even Natsu expected. With his heightened physical strength and battle instincts, everything Zancrow threw at him was easily countered or evaded.
"Damn you!" Zancrow shouted as he threw a punch from a distance that extended into a stream of black flames.
Avoiding the flames with minimal movement, Natsu felt the scorching feeling on his skin, though it did not succeed in slowing him down as he ran alongside the black flames, while using his own flames as a booster.
"[Fire Dragon's Sword Horn]." Natsu chanted as his entire body was lit ablaze.
Seeing the flames covering Natsu's body as his speed increased even further, Zancrow smiled maliciously as he prepared to devour Natsu's flames to empower himself.
Unfortunately, Natsu never forgot the fact that Zancrow could eat his flames. So, when he was close enough, Natsu dispelled his [Sword Horn]. Though, he did not lose the increased speed the spell provided.
"What?" Zancrow exclaimed in confusion.
*Bang!*
A moment later, Natsu, while running at high speed, slammed his head into Zancrow's abdomen. As a result, Natsu found himself a bit disoriented, as the magic power that would have been covering his body and softening the impact was gone. Meanwhile, Zancrow, who felt as if he had been hit by a runaway train, was sent flying once again.
"Go, Natsu!" Happy cheered excitedly while dancing happily. "Show that guy who's boss. Kick his butt!"
"Yeah…" Natsu replied, sounding slightly woozy.
By now, Natsu's battle with Zancrow had been going on for nearly half an hour. While Natsu had taken little damage, he was feeling his limit approaching.
And the issue was simple. Natsu, who had cast many spells and cancelled them to keep Zancrow from devouring his flames, had spent quite a large amount of his magic power. And the reason was simple, he was not regulating his magic power usage. So, he was starting to run low.
Zancrow, on the other hand, was covered in cuts and bruises, with several broken bones. But his magic power reserves were in good shape.
"How is this guy still standing?" Natsu asked himself as he watched Zancrow stand up once again. "It's like he doesn't even feel the pain. But this can't go on much longer, I'm almost out of magic power. And because I can't devour his flames, I can't recharge it. I guess I'll have to put everything into this last attack."
With that, Natsu once again charged towards Zancrow. Who was expecting him to do so.
"[Fire God's Scythe]." Zancrow chanted as he conjured a scythe made of black flames.
Then, as soon as Natsu was in range, Zancrow swept his scythe, intending to bisect Natsu as the waist. However, Natsu, with his quick reflexes, was able to duck under the slash. Then, before Zancrow could recover his weapon, Natsu was once again covered in flames.
"[Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist]." Natsu chanted as he began another punch barrage.
Like he had done throughout this fight, Natsu cancelled the flames covering his fists just as they landed on Zancrow's body. Although this lowered the potential damage the attacks could cause, it was the only thing Natsu could do against a foe like this one.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
As the punches landed on Zancrow's head, shoulders, and torso, Natsu could feel his magic power dwindling to dangerously low levels. Still, he had no intension of stopping. Then when he felt as though he only had one punch left in him, Natsu threw the strongest uppercut he could muster, landing it on Zancrow's chin, and sending him up into the sky.
"*Pant* *Pant* Let's see you get back up *Pant* from that." Natsu said as he supported himself with his hands on his knees.
*Bang!*
A moment later, Zancrow fell to the ground in front of Natsu. While his body was even more battered, he showed no signs of movement.
"Yeah, Natsu!" Happy cheered happily as he flew over to his best friend. "You did it."
"*Pant* Yeah, I guess I did." Natsu replied weakly with a smile.
"Yes, you did." Zancrow muttered from the ground in front of Natsu. "You certainly did. You managed to piss me off!"
With that, Zancrow finally began to stir. And with Natsu's lack of magic power, there was, unfortunately, nothing he could do about it.
Eventually, Zancrow managed to climb to his feet under the disbelieving gazes of Natsu and Happy. Then, very slowly, and with great pain, Zancrow spread his arms and legs while wearing a psychotic smile.
"[Fire God's Kagutsuchi]." Zancrow chanted in a manic tone.
Reacting quickly, Natsu pushed Happy away with all his might. As a result, Happy was sent flying quite a distance.
"Natsu! No~~~~~~!" happy shouted, despair evident in his tone.
In the next instant, with Zancrow as the center, a dome of black flames extended outwards, engulfing not only Natsu, who was not far away from him, but a number of trees and rocks, as well.
"Argh~~~~~~!" Natsu screamed in pain as he did not have the strength to evade at the moment.
"Hahahahahah! That's right, burn to ashes!" Zancrow shouted manically. "Hahahahahahahahaha!"
A moment later, however, Zancrow's laughter came to an abrupt stop.
"No, how is this possible?" Zancrow muttered. "He shouldn't be able to do that."
The thing that had Zancrow so confused was the fact that He could feel his flames being devoured. Naturally, Natsu was the one devouring them. And just as Zancrow said, under normal circumstances, Natsu should not be able to devour his flames. And that's because a dragon's flames were inferior to those of a god.
But that did not mean that the feat was impossible.
"I think I get it now." Natsu muttered as he continued devouring Zancrow's flames. "The magic power in your flames was in conflict with my own flames. But now that I'm out of magic power, there's no conflict, and I can eat your flames with no problem."
"No, this can't be happening!" Zancrow shouted as he started distancing himself from the pink-haired Dragon Slayer.
"And now, let me show you what I can do with two types of flames inside of me." Natsu said as he spread his arms once all the black flames had been devoured.
Then, Natsu's left hand was engulfed in black flames while his right hand was engulfed in his normal flames. A moment later, he leapt into the air.
"Dragon and divine flames become one!" Natsu shouted as he brought his hands together. "[Dragon God's Brilliant Flame]!"
In the next instant, the two flames combined and exploded towards Zancrow, who for his part, could only laugh hysterically at the absurdness of the situation before he was completely engulfed in the explosion. And thanks to the fact that his own flames were part of this explosion, his fire immunity was rendered useless.
A few moments later, the dust from the explosion was cleared by a breeze. Meanwhile, Natsu approached the area where Zancrow stood before he launched that last attack. At the same time, Happy flew back to Natsu, as well.
"Natsu, are you okay?" Happy asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, I'm great." Natsu replied energetically. "Who knew there was a little trick like that to eating certain kinds of fire."
'You just ate fire that you shouldn't have been able to eat.' Happy thought to himself while he and Natsu continued to approach the spot where Zancrow was. 'And you call it a little trick. Natsu, you dummy, you could have died.'
A moment later, Natsu and Happy reached the spot where Zancrow should have been. However, when they arrived, the area was completely empty.
"Huh? Where is he?" Natsu asked in a confused tone whle looking left and right. "He should have been right here, right?"
"Maybe he got blown away by the explosion." Happy suggested.
"I don't think so, Little Buddy." Natsu replied while sniffing the air. "I don't smell him… anywhere."
"Does that mean he's… dead?" Happy asked in trepidation.
"Maybe?" Natsu replied while scratching his head. "I think adding those black flames to my spell might have been too much for him to handle."
In fact, Natsu was correct. Thanks to the fact that he was much stronger than his canon counterpart, plus the addition of the [Fire God Slayer Magic], Zancrow was incinerated by Natsu's last spell.
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Open Seas.
Meanwhile, Lahar and Doranbolt continued watching the ongoing battle on Tenrou Island through their binoculars from the Magic Council Fleet's flag ship.
"I doubt this was the outcome anyone expected." Lahar said after seeing the explosion from Natsu's attack die down. "To think that Fairy Tail has grown so much that they can, so one-sidedly, defeat Grimoire Heart."
"Yeah, I don't think the members of the Council will be happy to hear this outcome." Doranbolt replied. "Especially since we were supposed to swoop in and clean up Grimoire Heart after Fairy Tail was destroyed."
"Those orders still don't seem right to me." Lahar muttered quietly. "Wouldn't it be more efficient for us to join forces with Fairy Tail to get rid of Grimoire Heart. After all, it's our duty to eliminate such dangerous Dark Guilds."
In response, Doranbolt remained silent while watching Wendy, Carla, and panther Lily deal with the low-ranking members of Grimoire Heart who attacked them.
"We don't need to think about our orders." Doranbolt said, though Lahar could tell that he felt a bit uncomfortable while he spoke. "We only need to follow them. That's what being a soldier of the Magic Council means."
"I am aware." Lahar replied. "I've been doing this job long enough to understand that."
Even though Lahar replied in an even tone, he still glanced at Doranbolt, who's tone, as well as his expression, showed that he was uncomfortable with what was going on.
'Why does this bother me so much?' Doranbolt thought to himself. 'Is it because of the kindness those girls from Fairy Tail showed me during the exam? No, impossible. I know what kind of ruffians they are. And the destruction Fairy Tail has brought to the continent cannot be forgiven or written off so easily. But… Then why do I feel like this?'
Before he could ponder his feelings any further, however, Doranbolt's eyes widened in surprise when he saw a huge, massively overweight man wearing a dark blue cloak approaching the little girl and the two cats.
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tenrou Island.
"Well, it looks like we've taken care of all of them." Panther Lily said as he shrunk down to his normal form. "For such a terrifying Dark Guild, they weren't very strong, were they?"
"Not every member of the guild should be super strong though, right?" Wendy asked as Carla set her down on the sand.
"You're right, Wendy." Carla replied with a nod. "Still, we don't know if there are any more of these guys. So, we should be careful while we go back to the camp."
"Yeah." Wendy replied with a nod.
A moment later, Wendy turned her head in a certain direction while her expression turned serious.
"What's wrong, Wendy?" Carla asked while looking in the same direction as Wendy.
Panther Lily also followed suit. And when they saw what caught Wendy's attention, both Exceed were flabbergasted.
At the end of the three's line of sight was a huge, morbidly obese man with chalk-white skin, and shaggy black hair. This man also had arms and legs that seemed too short for his extremely tall height. Though, that may have just been an optical illusion caused by how fat he was. On top of that, he wore a dark blue cloak with light yellow dots near the top, two belts that formed an x over his bare chest, a pair of, what appeared to be, professional wrestling trunks on his lower body, and a pair of short boots on his feet.
And although the image of such a man was quite off-putting. The fact that he was looking at Carla and Panther Lily as if he wanted them to be his next meal was more than the trio could handle.
"Who are you?" Wendy asked while taking her fighting stance once again.
With that, Carla once again clung to Wendy's back while extending her wigs with her [Aera Magic], while Panther Lily grew to his Battle Form, as well. Though, Panther Lily could tell that he would not be able to maintain this form for much longer after the fight from before.
"I'm… I'm… I'm… Woo-Wee! I'm Kain Hikaru of the Seven Kin of Purgatory. And I'm here to kill all the members of Fary Tail. But those two cats look really yummy." Kain said, speaking so quickly that after he started with a stutter, no one could understand what he said.
"Huh?" Wendy exclaimed in confusion. "I'm sorry… But do you think you could speak a little slower?"
"Oh… Um… Sorry." Kain replied, sounding quite nervous. "I said… My name is… Kain Hikaru… of the Seven---"
"Boom!"
"Ahh~~~~~~~!" Panther Lily screamed in fear.
Before Kain could finish reintroducing himself, a bolt of yellow lighting fell from the sky and landed on the overweight man. At the same time, Panther Lily's terror filled scream was drowned out by the thunderclap.
A moment later, the yellow bolt of lightning turned into Laxus, who was now standing on top of the unconscious body of Kain.
"Well, that was disappointing. For such a big guy, he sure went down easy." Laxus said while looking down at Kain disdainfully. Then, he turned his attention towards Wendy, Carla, and Panther Lily. "You okay, Squirt? And why does that cat look so scared?"
"I-I'm not scared." Panther Lily replied indignantly.
"Yeah, we're okay." Wendy replied. "Thanks for helping us."
"Don't mention it." Laxus replied with a shrug. "That's what guild mates do. Anyway, I'll escort you three to the camp. But you two…"
When Laxus got to that point, he pointed at Carla and Panther Lily.
"You're not supposed to be here." Laxus continued. "So, don't be surprised if Ur decides to punish you a little when we get there."
*Gulp!* x 2
Hearing that, Carla and Panther Lily gulped their saliva audibly. Then, they both extended their wings. Before they could fly away and start heading back to the mainland, Laxus transformed into a bolt of yellow lightning, appeared behind them, and grabbed them by the scruffs of their necks.
"Trust me, accepting your punishments now is much better than waiting until we get back to the guild." Laxus said while walking in front of Wendy. "Anyway, Squirt, you should grab on. I'll get us to the camp in a flash."
Following Laxus instructions, Wendy grabbed onto Laxus. Then, using his [Lightning Magic] to increase his speed without taking on his [Lightning Form], Laxus rushed towards the camp with the trio.
